Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5：30 and at 6：30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba.

“Hey, Sheba,” she said, “I've got no time for you now, but I'll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club.” Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet .

When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.

    “Listen, doctor, I'm really in a rush to get to a meeting, can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I'll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”

    “Sure.” said the doctor.

    Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring.

     “This is Dr. Sterne,” said an anxious voice. “I want you to get out of that house immediately, ”said the doctor's voice. “I'm coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!”

     At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.

“Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne.

“She’s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she’s OK now. ”

Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.

     “My God, ” said Joanne, “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”

     “I think he must be a burglar.” said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat：it turned out to be three human fingers.”[学科56. What was Joanne supposed to do at 6：30？

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.

On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule -- no laptop, iPads, phones, etc.When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.

Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.

The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.

I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .

I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.

60. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____.

A. the course material             B. others’ misuse of technology

C. discussion topics               D. the author’s class regulations

61. The underlined word “engage ”in para.4 probably means ____.

A. explore          B. accept          C. change           D. reject

62. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ____.

A. keep students from doing independent thinking

B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations

C. help students to better understand complex themes

D. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation

63. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____.

A. is quite stubborn

B. will give up teaching history

C. will change his teaching plan soon

D. values technology-free dialogues in his class

Dear Mr. Barton，

     I’m writing in the name of the residents’ association to inform you of our feelings regarding your behaviour. We’ve really had just about enough of you．Although we have tried to speak to you civilly on several occasions, you have always responded with a stream of verbal abuse．

     Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of the building，despite numerous complaints．For the past six weekends in a row，you have held extremely noisy parties，which have not finished until the early hours of the morning．It’s just not on! As you are aware, most of the people here are old people or have very young children，and the noise keeps them awake all night．You don’t have to be so noisy, do you?

Last weekend the situation deteriorated further when two of your acquaintances were involved in a fight on the first floor landing．The disturbance was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your mates left the stairs in a terrible state—they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that this type of bad behaviour is unbearable．

We strongly recommended that you arrange payment for this damage to the windows，soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance, we will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary．

                                                                                   Yours sincerely

      C. To give a threat to Mr. Barton．
