In a usual sheep race,half a dozen sheep race down hill over a course of about half a mile.Food is waiting for them at the other end of the62 just to give them some encouragement,I ought to add!The sheep run surprisingly fast,63 they have probably not eaten for a while.Anyway,the crowd around me were obviously enjoying their day out at the races,64by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.55.A.common B.strange C.swift D.illegal56.A.honestly B.surprisingly C.completely D.correctly57.A.showed off B.brought up C.turned up D.looked forward58.A.behind time B.in progress C.in advance D.in time59.A.But B.Therefore C.Moreover D.Otherwise60.A.horses B.sheep C.races D.stories61.A.exciting B.dangerous C.boring D.peculiar62.A.race B.hill C.track D.field63.A.if B.so C.yet D.although64.A.observing B.judging C.considering D.inferring(B)The British love to think of themselves as polite and everyone knows how fond they are of their “pleases"and “thank yous".Even the simplest business such as buying a train ticket requires 65 seven or eight of these.Another 66 of our good manners is the queue.Newcomers to Britain could be forgiven for thinking that queuing rather than football was the 67 national sport .Finally,of course,motorists generally stop at crossings.But does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite than their European neighbours?I think not.Take forms of address(称呼)for example.The average English person— 68 he happens to work in a hotel or department store—would rather die than call a stranger “Sir" or“Madam".Yet in some European countries this is the most basic of common address.Our 69 “you" for everyone may appear more democratic,but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express 70 .I am all for returning to the use of “thee" and“thou"(Thee and thou are oldfashioned poetic words for“you");“you" would be 71 for strangers and professional relationships.
And of course,the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying.Have you noticed how the British 72 ever touch?Personlly, I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming.Try kissing the average English person,and they will either take two steps backwards in horror;or,if their escape is 73 ,you will find your lips touching the back of their head.Now what could be 74 than that ?\=65.A.at least B.at most C.less than D.not more than 66.A.signal B.scene C.sign D.sight 67.A.true B.original C.superior D.advanced68.A.if B.whether C.when D.unless69.A.universal B.unique C.regular D.normal70.A.politeness B.gratitude C.democracy D.consideration 71.A.ordered B.reserved C.offered D.stocked72.A.highly B.mostly C.hardly D.nearly73.A.confirmed B.assured C.jammed D.blocked 74.A.better B.ruder C.more polite D.more frighteningⅤ.Reading Comprehension(A)While reading,you may focus on the Q(question)and A(answer)on the following web page.\= Q:My husband and I would like to spend five of six days in the Maldives.Could you suggest some lowpriced hotels?We'll be there in November.Jan Dayles,email.A:Prices in the Maldives are high.The cheaper hotels(and there aren't many)mightn't be much to look at,with unpleasant rooms,iron roofs,old buildings,poor and rough vegetation and basic facilities,but they get their atmosphere from cheerful customers and an untidy,free island feel.Angaga(South Ari Atoll,phone 0011 960 450510),Asdu Sun Island(North Male Atoll,e-mail info@usdu.com.mv)are both a bit like this.You'll be there in the low season (May to November).when it's still warm,but threre's a greater likelihood of rain,so you should be able to get a double(standard)room with full board(three meals a day)for $100 a night.However,pricing structures for the hotels are enormously complex for standard,superior and luxurious rooms.Q:My husband and I are from Australia.We are planning a fourweek trip to London,Dublin and Paris in October and we are shocked by the cost of hotels.We have searched the Internet and hotel books given to us by tourist authorities but we can't find anything cheaper than $150 a night.Joan Maloney,email.A:For Australians travelling Europe,especially its capital cities,is expensive.You may have to increase your budget(预算).However,if you can't afford these costs,then you should consider staying in hotels where the cheapest twin rooms with shared bathroom cost about $20 a person in Dublin and Paris and $35 in London.The minimum you would pay for a double room in a central area is $50 a person in Dublin and Paris and $70 in London.These prices are for shared bathroom facilities,though you will get a wonderfully unhealthy cooked breakfast thrown in.Not all hotels are equal,of course,and it's a good idea to consult a guidebook with a good reputation.75.The hotel Angaga in the Maldives__________.A.attr
