Horror seized the heart of the World War Ⅰ soldier as he saw his life-long friend fall in the battle．Caught in a trench(戰壕)with continuous gunfire whizzing(發出呼嘯聲) over his head，the soldier asked his captain if he might go out into the“No Man's Land”between the trenches to bring his
fallen comrade back．
“You can go,” said the captain，“but I don't think it will be worth it．Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away．”The captain's words didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway．
To one's surprise，he managed to reach his friend，raised him onto his shoulder，and brought him back to their company's trench．As the two of them fell in together to the bottom of the trench，the officer checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his friend．“I told you it wouldn't be worth it,” he said．“Your friend is dead，and your wound is deadly．”“It was worth it，though，sir．”the soldier said．“How do you mean‘worth it’?”responded the captain．“Your friend is dead!”“Yes sir．”the soldier answered．“But it was worth it because when I got to him，he was still alive, and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say，‘Jim，I knew you'd come．’”

“Americans are truly warm-hearted and wonderful people．”Marcia Powers said．“We got to meet people that we would never meet in our daily living at home．We got to touch it with our feet and hands and smell all its scents(香味) and hear its wildlife．It's an amazing country，”she added．

Chinese scientist Qin Dahe was awarded the International Meteorological(氣象學的)Organization Prize，the top prize of the world Meteorological Organization (WMO) on Tuesday．
Qin，born in 1947，is a glaciologist(冰河學家)．As a member of the 1989 International Trans-Antarctic Pole Expedition he became the first Chinese ever to cross the South Pole．Qin has published numerous ground-breaking articles using evidence gathered from that trip．
“Inspired by the honor，I will continue my efforts to promote China's meteorological researches with our brilliant team members．”Qin said at the ceremony．
“Meteorological and climatic conditions frequently go to extremes nowadays，against the background of global climate change．It poses a great challenge to human beings．”Qin said．“The undertakings shouldered by meteorological sciences will become more and more important．”
Chinese Vice Premier Hui liangyu said the prize not only reflected Qin's remarkable contributions，but also should be considered an honor for all China's meteorological scientists and researchers．He also spoke highly of China's meteorological contributions during the May 12 quake-relief work，the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics，as well as the Shenzhou 7 spacecraft’s flight mission.
Each year，WMO members nominate(提名) candidates for the prize for outstanding work in meteorology and contributions to international cooperation in meteorology．It is also regarded as the“Nobel Prize in Meteorology”．
The Executive Council of the WMO decided to recognize Qin this June．He was the second Chinese scientist to win the prize．The academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences，Ye Duzheng，received it in 2003．

If you're a male and you're reading this，congratulations：you're a survivor．According to statistics，you're more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman，and nine times more likely to die of AIDS．Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term，about 78 years for men in Australia, you'll die on average five years before a woman．
There're many reasons for this―typically，men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke―but perhaps more importantly，men don't go to the doctor．
“Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should．”says Dr Gullotta．“This is particularly so for the over-40s，when diseases tend to strike．”
Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two．For those over 45，it should be at least once a year．
According to a recent survey，95％ of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year，compared to 70％ of men in the same age group．
“A lot of men think they're invincible(不可戰勝的)，”，Gullotta says．“They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think,‘Geez，if it could happen to him．．．’”
“Then there's the ostrich approach．Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know，”says Dr Ross Cartmill．
“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies，”Cartmill says．He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups．
“Regular check-ups for men would surely place strain(緊張)on the public purse，”Cartmill says．“But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the disease．Besides，the final cost is far greater：it's called premature(未到期的)death．”
68．From the passage we can know the natural term for women in Australia is about years．
A．73 B．
69．What does the author think is the most important reason why men die five years earlier on average than women?
A．Men drink and smoke much more than women．
B．Men don't seek medical care as often as women．
C．Men aren't as careful as women in face of danger
D．Men are more likely to suffer from serious disease
70．Which of the following best completes the sentence“Geez, if it could happen to him．．．” in Para．6?
A．it could happen to me, too B．I should avoid playing golf
C．I should consider myself lucky D．it would be a big misfortune
71．What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?
A．They may increase public expense．
B．They will save money in the long run
C．They may cause psychological strain on men
D．They will enable men to live as long as women．

High-quality customer service is preached(宣揚)by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done．
Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store(零售店)，but instead will warn their friends，relatives，co-workers，strangers and anyone who will listen．
Store managers are often the last to hear complaints，and often find out only when their regular customers decide to go often to their competitors，according to n study jointly conducted by Verde Group and Wharton School．
“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers，”said Paula Courtney，President of the Verde Group．“The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement．”
On average，every unhappy customer will complain to at least four others，and will no longer visit the specific store．For every dissatisfied customer，a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews．The resulting “snowball effect”can be very harmful to retailers．
According to the research，shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems．Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers．
During peak shopping hours，some retailers solved the parking problems by getting part-time local police to work as parking attendants (服務員)．Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces．
Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts(布局)，pre-stocking sales items，hiring speedy and experienced cashiers，and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions．
Most importantly，salespeople should be flexible and polite with angry customers．
“Retailers who're responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over(緩解)issues than those who aren't so friendly．”said professor Stephen Hoch．“Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help．”
Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by complaining to the retailer，instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are finding it difficult to improve when they have no idea what is wrong．
72．Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?
A．Most customers won't bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences
B．Customers would rather tell their unhappy experiences to people around them．
C．Few customers believe the service will be improved．
D．Customers have no easy access to store managers．
73．Shop owners often hire part-time police as parking attendants so that ．
A．shoppers can stay longer in the store
B．shoppers won't have trouble parking their cars
C．shoppers won't have any worries about security
D．shoppers can find their ears easily after shopping
74．What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?
A．Manners of the salespeople． B．Hiring of efficient employees．
C．Huge supply of goods for sale D．Design of store layout
75．To achieve better shopping experiences，customers are advised to ．
A．bring pressure to bear on stores to improve their service
B．settle their questions with stores in a flexible way
C．express their dissatisfaction to store managers directly
D．shop around and make comparisons between stoles

56．C由文章的第1段第1句“Horror seized heart of the World warⅠsoldier．．．”可知，這位士兵看到自己親密的戰友中彈倒下的第一反應是horror(恐懼)。
57．B根據全文的描述和常識，這位士兵應該是沖到危險的兩軍對壘的未被占領的交火地點。故B項為正確答案。
58．D由文章第2段中的句子“‘You can go，’said the captain，‘but I don't think it will be worth it．Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away ’”和第3段的“I told you it wouldn’t be worth it”及“Your friend is dead”可知這位士兵的長官自始至終都不贊成這位戰士的做法，更不贊成作無謂的犧牲。故D項為正確答案。

71．B最后一段中第1句話中Cartmill說到，男人進行常規檢查不可避免地會增大社會公眾錢包的壓力。這個地方的意思就是要想進行常規檢查，肯定要花錢?但是最后一段第2句話又說，但是在長期看來，預防(常規檢查)要比你(發現病了)不得不去治療花的錢少。言外之意，常規檢查雖然花了一點錢，但從長遠的角度來講，從預防的角度來講，花錢是花得比較少的。

書面表達
One possible version：
Recently I have made an investigation on whether a model-test paper for Senior Three should be difficult or easy．Opinions are divided on this matter．
Some students think that a difficult exam is just like a challenge．The harder, the better．It can help students find out where they are weak in studies and improve their learning approaches.
Others，however，are against a difficult exam．In their opinion，if it is very difficult，they may become discouraged and feel terrible about the coming College Entrance Examination．Besides，with an easy exam，they can get high marks and gain confidence．
I prefer it to be neither too difficult nor too easy, because if it is too easy, teachers will not know how we are getting on with our studies, but if it is too difficult, we will lose heart．

When you have a pet dog．it is necessary to care for it very carefully．The most important part of dog-care is cleanliness，such things like bathing, care of the teeth and nails，keeping them from insects as much as possible．Not only does the dog have to be kept clean, but his environment should also be clean．The bed he sleeps in can be made with a carpet as long as it is kept clean．
Proper feeding is also important to your dog's health．A dog should be fed in the same place and on a regular schedule．Food should never be left before a dog for more than thirty minutes on any conditions．Remember to keep flesh water available to the dog during hot weather．Another important thing that many dog owners forget is exercise for their dogs. Active exercise helps build strength and keeps the dog healthy．A regular walk at a fixed time of the day is enough to help a small dog live a healthier and happier life．Large dogs，though，require a run in an open field．
