(A)

Farmers ， as we all know ， have been having a hard time of it lately ， and have turned to new ways of earning income from their land . This involves not only planting new kinds of crops ， but some?? 55????? ways of making money， the most unusual of which has got to be sheep racing . Yes ， you heard me????? 56?? ! A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis ， and during the past year over 100， 000 people have??? 57???? to watch the race . “I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday ，” one punter （赛马经纪人）told me ， “ and I thought I’d have a look . I didn’t believe it was serious ， to tell you the truth .” According to a regular visitor ， betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses . “At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse???? 58??? ， and there are clear favourites .???? 59?? nobody has heard anything about these??? 60???? !Most people find it difficult to tell one from another in any case .” I stayed to watch the races ， and I must admit that I found it quite???? 61??? .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 the??? 62???? 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 ，?? 64???? by their happy faces and the sense of excitement .

(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 . New-comers 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 old-fashioned 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 ? Personally ， 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．advanced

69．A．universal? B．unique? C．regular? D．normal

70．A．politeness? B．gratitude? C．democracy? D．consideration

71．A．ordered? B．reserved? C．offered? D．stocked

72．A．highly? B．mostly? C．hardly? D．nearly

73．A．confirmed? B．assured? C．jammed? D．blocked

74．A．better? B．ruder? C．more polite? D．more frightening
