The Uakari is a kind of fruit-eating primate (灵长类动物) from the Amazonian rainforest of South America. They live in swampy areas of the forest, which often get flooded.
There are three species(种类) of Uakari. Both red and white Uakaris have bright red hairless faces and are often called bald Uakaris. It’s not known exactly why these monkeys have bald faces, as the other parts of their bodies are covered with thick coats. Black Uakaris are covered with black hair and do not have bald faces.
Uakaris are arboreal, which means they spend most of their time in the trees. They are good at jumping and have been known to jump 20 to 30 meters from tree to tree. Surprisingly, they can do this even though their tails are too short to help them keep balance or to hold sticks with. They are active during the day and spend the night high up in the tree.
Fruits can make up as much as 85% of their diet, but they also eat leaves and small animals. These monkeys have strong teeth and can eat hard Brazil nut. During low water, when there are not enough fruits, Uakaris will come down to the ground to try and find fallen seeds or dig for roots. When this happens, other members of the group stay in the trees.
Sadly, all the three species of Uakaris are endangered because people have destroyed so much of the rainforest where they live.
61. The purpose of this passage is to ____.
A. tell us the importance of animals
B. let us know something about Uakaris
C. tell us that Uakaris are very dangerous animals
D. criticize (批评)the human behavior that destroys Uakaris’ habitats(栖息地)
62. Which of the following words shares the closest meaning with the word “swampy” in the first paragraph?
A. High.
B.dry.
C. Dangerous.
D. Wet.
63. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The reason why two species of Uakaris have bald faces is still not exactly known.
B. Uakaris are mainly active at night.
C. Uakaris eat fruits mainly.
D. Uakaris live in groups.
64. Uakaris have all of the following except ____.
A. strong limbs(四肢) B. strong teeth
C. a very long tail
D. thick body hair
65. Later in the article, the author probably writes about ____.
A. what people have done to the habitat of Uakaris
B. other sides of the Uakaris’ living habits
C. the importance of looking for Uakaris
D. why Uakaris don’t deserve protection
C
Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.
Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.
It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
66. The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______. A. preparing a topic list first
B. focusing on one’s own mind
C. directing the talk to the desired results
D. experiencing the speaker’s inside world
67. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?
A. How to listen well.
B. What to listen to.
C. Benefits of listening.
D. Problems in listening
D
Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.
He says our relation with others often become clearly defined(定义) when money enters the picture . You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you may think that you are very good friends . But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money . If he does , it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken th relationship if he doesn’t .This person may say that he has a certain feeling , but if it is not carried out in the money world , there is something less real about it .
Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.
Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?
Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
71. According to the first paragraph, people have not realized ____.
A. how important money is in their day-to-day life.
B. how one spends money shows what is important to him.
C. that money is more important than their philosophy of life.
D. that their understanding of life is more important than money.
72. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money ____.
A. is a good way to test your friendship.
B. will do harm to your friendship.
C. will strengthen your friendship.
D. is a good way to break off your friendship.
73. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?
A. He does not feel that he is well educated.
B. He does think that he is a very important person.
C. He doesn’t think that being rich is worth so much attention.
D. He doesn’t consider himself to be very successful.
74. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?
A. Money is an end.
B. Money is a means.
C. Money is everything.
D. Money is unimportant.
75. Which of the following might the author disagree with?
A. Money is important in modern society.
B. The meaning of life does not completely lie in money.
C. Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness.
D. Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth.

第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)
阅读表达(10分)阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1] Fishing is probably the world’s most popular sport. People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment , bait, fuel and boat repairs. And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime. Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it. Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby.
[2] Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby. Firstly, of the millions of people who fish for fun, most only catch enough fish to feed their families. They catch fish that are found in large numbers, so there is little danger to the species (种类).
[3] Secondly, recreational fishermen contribute to the economy. They spend money on equipment and other items, and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel. Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares. This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year.
[4] Thirdly, fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress. Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol, it is far better to go fishing. People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near ----- except for the smell of the bait !
[5] Those who _________________ say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers, lakes, streams and oceans. This could lead to the dying out of some species. Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world, so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females, leaving few fish to produce young.
[6] Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun. Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating, so they are thrown away. Once hooked, fish have no chance of escape.
76. What is the main idea of the passage ? (no more than 4 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
77. According to Paragraph 2 , why does fishing cause little danger to the species ?(no more than 8 words)

78. List 4 items on which people spend their money for fishing. (no more than 7 words)
