But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.Theres no more room to bury the dead, they cant be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazils National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I havent got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I cant die. Thats ridiculous,” Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts.” However, it does not say what the punishment will be.1、What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?ABan on building a new cemetery. BBan on parking in certain zones.CForbidding buried grounds in preservation. DProhibiting residents from dying early.2、What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that” in the first paragraph?AThe officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.BThe officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.CThe bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.DThe officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.3、Whats the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?AHe gives strong backing to them.BHe objects to them.CHe remains silent about them.DHe asks the residents for advice on them.4、Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AThe bill has come into effect but it doesnt state clearly what punishements the offenders will receive.BThe residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.CThe government is going to change the unreasonale and laughable decree.DNo better resolution of the problems has been thought out.22（8分）Keeping the kids busy over the school holidays can be discouraging and cost parents a lot.

While others were enjoying the prewedding celebrations, together with the nurses, the groom was busy delivering a baby in his clinic.The bride was in her room happily arranging her hair and make-up, getting ready for the arrival of her guests. Her family and friends had excitedly prepared the henna (涂指甲花) party. Grandma and Mum were busy in the kitchen with the food they had made for the henna feast for the day before Friday. Samias friend Mariam was making the wedding cake. Her friend Shaikha was collecting the brides dress from the tailor. At 12 noon the henna maker arrived. Following the tradition, she started decorating the brides hands. There was an air of excitement in the room. Grandma started singing a traditional folk song.Suddenly, the bride felt a strange tingling (麻刺感) in her hand. It grew worse and worse. Her hand became red and swollen soon. Grandma said, “Oh dear, I think it best that you wash your hands immediately.” As an emergency first aider, Mariam suggested applying some cold cream on Samias hand and ran off and returned with some in her hand. Neither of these worked. Mum took control and phoned Salem but in vain. Without hesitation, she took Samia to the hospital urgently with Dad and other friends. Dr Ahmed looked at her hand and said, “Youve had an allergic reaction to the henna. Tomorrow is your wedding.

My travel decisions assumed a new gravity nine years ago after I suffered a stroke. To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, Id have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky.I had to think about what was important to me: family, of course, and friends. But then what? No matter how many times I thought about it, no bucket list was complete without travel. Then I had to decide how I might manage the risk. I had to decide how lucky I felt.My return to travel after my stroke came in baby steps. The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China. After wed toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (长雪橇).Before the stroke it wouldve seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. My mental klaxon (高音喇叭) screamed warnings about the consequences of a cut, a fall, and a crash. Then, gaining confidence from who knows where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure travel comeback.In the years since then, Ive traveled about twenty-five percent of the time. Through it all, my lucks held out no deadly falls, no car accidents or serious infections. For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. Whats more, saying “yes” to travel keeps me connected to myself.1、What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?AUnique.BDangerous.CHistorical.DFamous.2、What did the doctors advise the author to do?ADo proper exercise.BEnjoy the rest of her life.CKeep away from traveling.DSpend more time with her family.3、Why did the author mention her travel to China?AIt was her last adventure.BShe recovered her courage through it.CShe liked the beautiful scenery in China.DIt was the most dangerous experience in her life.4、What is the best title for the text?AA business trip to ChinaBUnique travel experiencesCWhy I still travel to the wildDHow I overcame the fear of disease25（10分）It was with heavy hearts that my son and I worked to prepare his car for a milestone journeythe day he moved across the country after twenty years of living under my roofOur work went slowly into the afternoonThe Sunday baseball game came onOur hometown Cardinals were playing the Atlanta BravesI overheard bits of the TV broadcastAtlanta took a two-run lead as we were packing the trunkAfter that I became absorbed in glum thoughts about his departure and forgot about the gameSuddenly I heard the door open“Dad，”he said，“lets watch the gameTheyre only down by a run”His red-colored eyes instantly told me that he，too，found this to be difficult and wanted to share one last father-son momentWithout hesitation I led the way to the TV setThere，we found the Cards losing 31“Oh，”he said，“theyre down two runs”His voice cracked with doubt“I thought they were coming back”“Thats fine，”I said，wanting so much to string this moment“Lets watch anyway”The Cards got to bat lastFirst a single，and then anotherSuddenly the game became very interestingWhen David Eckstein parked the third pitch(投球)into the seats，we were transformed，jumping up and downThats when the magic moment cameThe sadness of that day was replaced by the exciting baseball game，something we had done many times together beforeThen he leftIt was a sad day when I helped my son pack and get ready to move away to collegeBut this moment
