A
Experts around Europe are discussing the embarrassing museum safety following the theft of two art masterpiece paintings on Sunday. A large hunt got under way Monday for thieves who walked into a lightly guarded museum in Oslo, Norway, tore two paintings off the wall and ran away.
Some expressed fear that works of art are in increasing danger from violent robbery — unless, said Deputy Culture Minister Yngve Slettholm, "we lock them in a mountain bunker(碉堡)."
Armed, masked robbers stole the Edvard Munch masterpiece "The Scream" and another of Munch"s works, "Madonna," from Oslo"s Munch Museum on Sunday as visitors watched in disbelief.
The purpose behind the robbery also remained unknown. But art experts guessed the thieves were either looking for money or wished to impress other criminals since it would be nearly impossible to sell such famous pieces of art.
This is the second time in a decade that a version of the painting has been stolen. Another version of "The Scream" was stolen from Oslo"s National Gallery in February 2004, but recovered three months later. The Munch works were not insured against theft, because it was impossible to set a price on them, said John Oeyaas, managing director of Oslo Forsikring, the city-owned company that insured the paintings against damage. But he said the theft in broad daylight from one of Norway"s most visited museums raises the question of security — "How can we make these artworks available to the public while still ensuring their safety?"
56. The stolen paintings were drawn by ______.
A. Oslo Forsikring B. Yngve Slettholm C. Edvard Munch D. John Oeyaas
57.Which of the following description is correct about the theft?
A.The two paintings were stolen on Monday
B.Visitors to the museum saw the faces of the robbers
C.The thieves were looking for money
D.The thieves had weapons with them during the theft
58. The Oslo’s Munch Museum ______.
A.is one of the most popular museum in the country
B.had all its paintings insured against theft
C.were going to lock the paintings in a mountain bunker
D.had another version of “The Scream” stolen in 2004
59. What could be the best title for this passage?
A.Dangers of Violent Robbery
B.How to Ensure Safety of Artworks
C.Priceless Art Lost in Bold Theft
D.Famous Art Works Favored by Thieves

Everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault (断层), which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes. But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?
Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings in the area were almost destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, allowing smell of sulfur (硫磺)to filter upward.
The Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools. Several times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811; but the severity of the earthquakes are shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, D.C.
Scientists now know that America’s two major faults are essentially different. The San Andreas is a horizontal boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the movement of these two masses suddenly lurches (倾斜) forward.
The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical fault; a some point, possibly hundreds of millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motions trigger (触发) earthquakes in the region. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern lllinois.
Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but the scientists say have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.
72. This passage is mainly about__________.
A. the New Madrid fault in Missouri
B. the San Andreas and the New Madrid faults
C. the causes of faults
D. current scientific knowledge about faults
73. The New Madrid fault is__________.
A. a horizontal fault
B. a vertical fault
C. a more serious fault than the San Andreas fault
D. responsible for forming the Mississippi River
74. We may conclude from the passage that__________.
A. it is probably as dangerous to live in Missouri as in California
B. the New Madrid fault will eventually develop a mountain range in Missouri
C. California will become an island in future
D. A big earthquake will occur to California soon
75. This passage implies that__________.
A. horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faults.
B. Vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal faults
C. Earthquakes occur only around fault areas
D. California will break into pieces by an eventual earthquake

C
Zanzibar,Tanzania--Hundreds of dead dolphins were washed up on Friday along the shore of a popular tourist place on Tanzania’s northern coast.Scientists have ruled out poisoning.
It was not immediately clear what killed the 400 dolphins,whose dead bodies lied along a 4-kilometer coast of Nungwi,said Narriman Jidawi,a marine biologist at the Institute of Marine Science in Zanzibar.But the bottleneck dolphins,which live in deep offshore waters,had empty stomachs,meaning they could have got lost and had been swimming for some time to reorient themselves.They did not die of hunger and were not poisoned,Jidawi said.
In the US,experts were looking into the possibility that sonar(声呐)from the US submarine could have caused a similar incident in Marothon,Florida,where 68 deep-water dolphins stranded(搁浅)themselves in March 2005.
The deaths are a blow to the tourism industry in Zanzibar,where thousands of visitors go to watch and swim with dolphins.Villagers,fishermen and hotel residents found the dead bodies and told officials.Mussa Aboud,Zanzibar’s director of fisheries,went on state radio to warn the public against eating the dolphins’meat,saying the cause of death had not been found.
The Indo-Pacific bottlenose,commonly known as dolphins,are the most common species in Zanzibar’s coastal waters,with bottlenose and humpback dolphins often found in mixed-species groups.
63.According to the passage,the bottleneck dolphins .
A.are often attacked by submarine in deep water
B.find it hard to find enough food near the coast
C.often fall ill along the shore of a tourist place
D.1ike living in the deep waters near the coast
64.The underlined word“reorient”means .
A.lose their way B.find their way
C.look for food D.fight against enemies
65.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The dolphins died because of the sonar from US submarines.
B.The dead dolphins can not be eaten as they are poisonous.
C.The US experts are researching sonar at present.
D.The ability of locating is extremely important for dolphins.
66.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.400 dolphins died along the coast of Nungwi.
B.Dolphins are facing increased risk of death.
C.It’s necessary for us to protect dolphins.
D.Nungwi is famous for many dolphins there.
