　　On a snowy and windy afternoon, An-drea, a ten-year-old girl, went out for play. She was walking along the sands when she was blown into a ditch (溝) by the seashore. She was frightened and tried her best to climb out. But the ditch was too deep and she was too weak to get out of it. So Andrea cried at the top of her voice for help. But what she could hear over the snow ditch was nothing but the terrible noise of the wind. Nobody came to her and nobody knew where she was. She struggled (掙扎) again and again. Her face was whipped by the strong wind, snow and sand, and she was almost fro-zen. Her hands began to feel stiff (僵硬). She also felt her strength running out of her. She started to cry hopelessly. Just at the moment Andrea saw a black dog appearing, through the heavy snow. It was Villa, her true friend. She was glad to see the sign of life. And the dog set out to work as soon as she got to An-drea. She cleaned away the snow around her with her paws and hind leg's, then reached out her big strong fur head to Andrea. The little girl closed her arms round Villa's neck. The dog backed away slowly, pulling her out of the ditch inch by inch.

　　Successfully, Andrea got out of the ditch at last. Then she struggled to her feet. With great difficulty, led by her true friend Villa,she was saved.

A villa (別墅) designed to resist earthquakes with “self-healing” cracks in its walls, thanks to nanotechnology (納米技術(shù)) applications with self-healing polymers (聚合物), is to be built on a Greek mountainside. The villa’s walls will include special particles that turn into a liquid when squeezed (壓榨) under pressure, flow into cracks, and then harden to form a solid material.
The NanoManufacturing Institute (NMI), based in Leeds University, will play a key role in an EU project to construct the home by December 2010. The project, called “Intelligent Safe and Secure Buildings” (ISSB) is funded under the EU’s Sixth Framework program. This potentially life-saving scheme is led by German building manufacturer Knauf. The villa will be built in Amphilochia, in western Greece, where Knauf currently runs a manufacturing plant. If the experiment is successful, more tremor-resistant（防震）homes could be built in earthquake zones across the globe. NMI chief executive Professor Terry Wilkins said, “What we’re trying to achieve here is very exciting. We’re looking to use polymers in much tougher situations than ever before on a larger scale.” Monitors contained in the villa’s walls will be able to collect vast amounts of data about the building over time. Wireless sensors(傳感器) will record any stresses and vibrations, as well as temperature, humidity and gas levels.
The walls are to be built from new load-bearing steel frames and high-strength gypsum（石膏）board. Prof Wilkins said, “If there are any problems, the intelligent sensor network will be able to alert residents immediately so they have time to escape. If whole groups of houses are so constructed, we could use a larger network of sensors to get even more information. If the house falls down, we have got hand-held devices that can be used over the ruins to pick out where the embedded（嵌入的）sensors are hidden to get some information about how the villa collapsed. Also, we can get information about anyone who may be around, so it potentially becomes a tool for rescue.”
【小題1】The aim of the passage is to ________.

A．report a piece of interesting news
B．promote tremor-resistant homes
C．inform us of the nanotechnology development
D．tell us something about a tremor-resistant home
【小題2】The villa can resist earthquakes because _______.
A．it will be built on a special place
B．the cracks in its walls can be healed by the polymers
C．the special particles can make its walls stronger
D．the intelligent sensor network can tell people where there is a crack
【小題3】If the tremor-resistant home falls down, _______.
A．rescue work can be done more quickly and accurately
B．the intelligent sensor network will stop working
C．no one can be hurt in the earthquake
D．a(chǎn) warning signal will be given to other residents
【小題4】What Prof Wilkins said suggests that _______.
A．he is doubtful about the project
B．he thinks the tremor-resistant home is perfectly designed
C．he is confident in the tremor-resistant home
D．the tremor-resistant home still needs to be tested in a real situation
【小題5】It can be inferred from the passage that tremor-resistant home _______.
A．is still being tried out
B．is already under construction
C．has been in wide use
D．will be put into wide use soon

E
Extreme sports and the movie Lord of the Rings are the two things that come to mind when one talks abut New Zealand today. But for wine lovers across the world, New Zealand has a completely different meaning.
It’s a long narrow country, but its vineyards (葡萄園)are mostly around three regions, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay and Marlborough.
It was not until the 1980s that New Zealand wines drew the attention of the world with what is now a fashionable classic wine: Cloudy Bay. It was snapped up as it appeared on wine menus in Hong Kong restaurants during the early 1990s. This success was followed by the growing popularity of a wide range of wines from other New Zealand estates(莊園)such as Esk Vally, Villa Maria and Grove Mill. Since then, several other wine growing regions in other countries have tried to copy the New Zealand style without much success.
The New Zealanders were good at white wines right from their early days, but their red wines, too, were catching the fancy of the drinking public. One example of just how fast and sure that happened is Goldwater Estate in Waiheke Island. The little island, which is just a 35-minute ferry ride from Auckland, had only 13 wineries ten years ago. Kim and Jeanette Goldwater set it up as the Goldwater holiday home, with wine making as a hobby, in 1982. But demand soon made them turn that hobby into a business.
Encouraged by family and friends, they decided to take their wine production a step further and entered the commercial market. In 1991, they took their wines to the International Wine Competition in New York and won a Gold Medal.
67. What does the author mean by saying “But for wine lovers across the world, New Zealand has a completely different meaning” in Paragraph I ?
A．New Zealand today is different from what it was in the past.
B．Different people have different opinions on New Zealand’s sports and films.
C．New Zealand is famous for good wines to wine lovers in the world.
D．New Zealand is well known for is sports and movies.
68. Goldwater Estate in Waiheke Island is given as an example show that________.
A．Goldwater Estate is not very far from Auckland
B．Goldwater won great success as a holiday home to New Zealanders
C．the red wines of the New Zealanders are on their way to success
D．encouragement from family and friends can lead to gold medals
69. The underlined phrase “snapped up” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”
A．refused        B．removed       C．sold out       D．wiped out
70. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Vineyards can be seen everywhere across the long narrow country.
B．New Zealand wines first won their place in the world with Cloudy Bay.
C．Kim and Jeanette Goldwater took wine making as a hobby at first.
D．Wine production from Goldwater was popular with the drinking public.
