More than 200 people escaped but 56 miners were confirmed dead, and rescuers were searching for survivors, Xinhua News agency reported. But Sun Huashan, deputy administrator（副部長） of the State Administration of Work Safety, said their chances for survival were “rather slim”.The bureau supervising Henan coal mine safety was also pessimistic（悲觀的）.“The situation is very tough in the mine. The gas is very dense（濃密的）, and in such conditions, its hard to survive,” an official at the bureau told the French news agency AFP.Thousands of people died in some poorly regulated mines each year, despite the government promises to improve safety.Official figures released on Thursday showed that 4,153 people died in mining accidents in China in the first three quarters of this year a figure 13% lower than last years.56.

Living on an Air Force base was not as bad as some people might think. Casey rather enjoyed staying with some friends who had something in common with each other. She especially loved the time when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke.Today was different, though. When her dad walked in the door, he looked sad for some reason. Casey didnt like that look. Her dad just kissed her on the forehead and told her mom that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong. As her parents came out of the other room, mom was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain to me that he was called on to go to Iraq and that he would leave for one year. Casey was so astonished that she couldnt speak for a moment. She began to feel tears in her eyes. How could she live without her dad for a whole year? She had a lot of questions and their family discussed all the details that evening.Soon, the day came. Caseys dad was leaving. As Casey and her mom watched him climb up the steps to his cockpit（駕駛艙）, the tears began to flow from their eyes. It was hard for Casey to believe that she wouldnt be seeing her dad for so long time. They depended on him for so many things. Who would fix the broken window in the bathroom? Who would greet her with jokes every day? 60. What is Caseys fathers job in the military?A.

In a recent survey, Graham reported that when children learn to spell some words incidentally（偶然地） or informally as they read or write, good spellers learn many more words through these methods than poor spellers. On the other hand, direct spelling instruction improves the spelling performance of both good and poor spellers. But it is unlikely that such instruction can account for all the necessary growth to become an excellent speller. For example, adults can typically spell 10,000 or more words correctly, but are only taught how to spell about 3,000 words while in school and not all those words are mastered. Therefore, both formal and informal methods should be stressed. This does not mean, however, that equal amounts of both should be provided. Instead, the level of formal and informal instruction needed by individual children, will vary and should be adjusted（調(diào)整）. With balanced instruction, the fulcrum（支點(diǎn)） is the child, and balance depends on what the child needs.This same principle also applies to considerations about the role of meaning, process, and form in writing instruction since skilled writing depends on all three. The amount of emphasis placed on each area should be adjusted so that it is consistent（一致的） with the needs of the child. For example, Juel found that some children who were poor writers had difficulties with both form and process, whereas others had difficulties with just one or the other. Thus, some of the students should be given additional help in both areas, whereas other students needed help in only one.64. The paragraph before this passage may be about _.A. childrens need B. balance between meaning and processC. emphasis on spelling D. writing instruction65. From the first paragraph, we can draw a conclusion that _.A. both the formal and informal instructions will be usedB. spelling words without instructions will be more effectiveC. the instruction is perfect to explain the growth to be a good spellerD. adults can spell words better than children in every way66. The passage puts stress on _.A. the writing skills of spellingB. how to spell betterC. balanced instruction to the students need in writingD. principle about the role of writing67. What is the most suitable title for this passage?A. Two methods of spellingB. Principle of writingC. Balanced instruction for childrenD. How to be a good speller.DThe American turkey is famous for some of its characteristics. The bird can run at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour, and it can fly in short bursts at a speed of more than 50 miles per hour. Turkeys have excellent eyesight and hearing. If they have a sharp sense of smell, they would be almost impossibly forgetful.There are two signs of turkey presence. One is their V-like scratches（抓痕） while getting food. And the other is the male turkeys beaks, which are the size of a small finger with a bend at one end, like the letter “J”. Native Americans in the Southwest and Mexico kept turkeys for feathers and food, and the birds with their alarm calls probably were good “watch dogs” as well. The Indians used the feathers in ceremonies, and used the feathers to form blankets. They hollowed out the large leg bones to serve as whistles.The Spanish transported wild turkeys from Mexico to Europe for domestication（馴養(yǎng)） in the 16th century. European settlers brought domesticated turkeys back to the New World. Finally, local decrease of wild turkeys paralleled（平衡） the European settlers spread across America. Today, widespread re-introduction programs are under way to return the five species of wild turkeys to their native habitats.In the late 1770s, Benjamin Franklin suggested that the turkey should be the symbol for the United States. He argued that the Bald Eagle was no better than a fish-eater. The American turkey lost to the Bald Eagle by a single congressional vote.68. The turkey is most famous for _.

EWhen some friends came to San Francisco, I wanted them to come away with a good dining experience that shows off why San Francisco is the cooking center of the West Coast. I had made a reservation at 1:15 on Sunday and was promptly seated. My husband and I took our two small children with us, thinking that because it was lunch, we would be served quickly. How wrong I was. I was deeply embarrassed that I had brought my friends to the restaurant. The waitress took forever to get our drink order, and then a while longer for the food. Fortunately I ordered an appetizer（開胃菜） for my 4-year-old son to eat, for that came within a reasonable time. The main lunch order took forever. We sat down at 1:15 and our lunch arrived at 2:45. The waitress brought us a complimentary（免費(fèi)贈送的） plate of some sort of delicious salad, but we had t
