（40分）ATom was a farmer. He worked on the farm all day ，but sometimes he went to the town market to sell fruit and vegetables. One day,a terrible sound attracted his attention in the town market. He saw a young bull for sale. The bull was white and yellow. It was looking at Tom in fear. Tom walked up and touched its head gently. Just at that time they both seemed to have known each other for a long time. How amazing ！Tom bought it at once and called it Amba.From then on ，Tom and Amba got on well with each other. But some friends told him that it was dangerous to have such a close relationship with an animal.One afternoon ，Tom was walking through the forest with Amba. Suddenly ，Amba stopped walking and kept pushing Tom with its head. Tom was very surprised and looked around. There was a big snake in front of him. It was beautiful but poisonous. Quickly Amba stepped on the snake's tail with its foot and at the same time Tom picked up a stick and hit the snake's head heavily. Soon the snake . died.Tom was very grateful for Amba's help.

The passage mainly wants to tell us .A. the love between humans and animalsB. the fight between a bull and a snakeC. how to keep an animalD. how to train an animalBDo you speak English? Yes? Well, do you speak e-mail English? Maybe not. E-mail English is a new kind of English that many people use to save time. A lot of e-mail English words come from a computer program called ICQ. It means / seek you. ICQ is an e-mail chatline that people use to send messages quickly. Ian Lancashire,a Canadian teacher,likes ICQ. "People can use ICQ to talk with each other with computers."A message in e-mail English mostly uses two kinds of new words. The first kind is made up of the first letters of other words. These are called acronyms (首字母组合词).The second kind is homophones(同音异义词).Acronyms in an e-mail save space and time. It takes a long time to write by the way. BTW is much faster. F2F stands for face to face, CSL for can't stop laughing and DBEYR for don't believe everything you read ！Homophones often use letters and numbers that sound like words or parts of words. For example ，8 sounds like-ea^ in great, so to save time, people write gr8. Another example is CU for see you, or sometimesCU18r( see you later). The number 2 is used for to or too and the number 4 is used instead of/or. * E-mail English is fun. An e-mail message with lots of e-mail English starts to look like secret code. Your best friend will probably understand it, but your parents and teachers might not. Actually, many teachers don't like e-mail English. It's not just because they can't understand what it means. It's because students start to use e-mail English in their everyday writing. E-mail English is great for writing quickly. But most teachers say that e-mail English should only be used in e-mails to one's friends.（）36.

Amazing AdvertisementDQiu Baoxing, Vice-minister of Construction of China, has said that our country is "facing a more serious water crisis(危机)than any other country in the world. "And the Chinese government would raise the cities' waste water treatment rate (率)from 45. 6% to 60% in five years. " Because water plays such an important role in our country's economy (经济)and people's life, we must pay much attention to it. We have to solve the problem before it is too late, warned Qiu. He said China should learn lessons from developed countries. They have paid heavy costs in solving the environmental pollution. "We must take action before the city water ecosystem collapses(生态恶化),"Qiu said.Qian Yi ，professor of environmental engineering ，said that two problems―the shortage of water re-sources (资源) and the pollution of water cause China's water crisis. He said China's present water availability is still low ，about a fourth of the world average level. By 2030 ，the number will drop much. What's worse, among China's seven main rivers,five have been seriously polluted. The worst is the Haihe River near Beijing and Tianjin.Qiu said the government is improving the city water, controlling strictly water quality and safety.
