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。
A
I stole your dog today. No, I didn't set a foot on your house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagine what it looks like... The word" rubbish" comes to mind.
I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse. Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by the place where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the woods, the "cross" that she dragged behind her would have wrapped itself around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her.
She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching( 畏缩 )when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won' t beat her. In fact, she rarely leaves my side. She's even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I looked out of the window as she attempted to play with other dogs. No, it’s clear that she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.
It' s not clear yet whether she'll remain here or whether I'll find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is a bit of stolen" property" which is never returning to you. So sue me, accuse me, plead with the court that she is rightfully yours... I' m convinced that this is the best" crime" I've ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day when I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she'd defend my decision with her life. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.

When an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure—and so soon—that another ant is dead.
One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “I'm dead—take me away” when it is dead.
But there's a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants don't move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “Wait—I'm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “Wait I'm not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.
To test his theory , Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the “I'm dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the “Wait—I'm not dead yet” chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical fades away. Other nearby ants then detect the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.
Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.

A. Leading the following paragraphs. B. Showing the main idea of the passage.

B. When an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.
C. A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.
D. Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.

C
It is an issue I have realized ever since I heard about an Austrian banker who said,“I always find it easier to do business with partners from Greece or Russia or Denmark. But when the lrish call, it gets complex and difficult.” As I wrote recently, those speaking English as a second language frequently say they find it easier to talk to each other than to someone from the US, the UK ,Canada ,Ireland or Australia.
Anyone wanting to get to the top of international business, medicine or academia(but possibly not sport)needs to be able to speak English to a pretty high level .Equally, any native English speaker wanting to deal with these new high achievers needs to know how to talk without confusing them.
Because so many English-speakers today are monoglots（只懂一种语言的人），they have little idea how difficult it is to master another language. Many think the best way to make foreigners understand is to be chatty（健谈的）and informal. This may seem friendly but，as it probably involves using informal expressions, it makes comprehension harder.
Speaking slowly helps, but avoiding figurative（比喻的）or idiomatic expressions is more important. Phrasal verbs are another trouble for non-native English speakers; imagine trying to understand the difference between“ I couldn’t put up with him”and “ I agreed to put him up”.It’s better to say “I couldn’t tolerate him”and “ I agreed to let him stay for night ”. The words may be longer but the meaning is easier to understand.
The greatest friend to anyone trying to understand another language is repetition; not saying the same thing over and over again，but saying it in different ways.
64. English speakers from non-English-speaking countries think that ________.
A. non-native speakers speak English even better
B. the author’s English is hard to understand
C. native speakers’ English is hard to understand
D. it is easier to deal with Greeks and Russians
65. As to speaking English , the author implies that ________.
A. there’s no need for athletes to speak so well
B. a successful person must speak advanced English well
C. advanced English shouldn’t be spoken in sports
D. a successful person must speak simple English to others
66. According to the author, the best way for native English speakers is ________
A. to speak as slowly as possible
B. to use as few words as possible
C. to speak loudly so as to make it clear
D. to make it clear even with more words
67. Which of the expressions is the best and friendly?
A. They say you’re a great player. However, I don’t think so, to be honest.
B. You’re a great player. You play the best. You’re a great player indeed
C. You’re a great player. They love you here. Your Performance is so good.
D. You’re a great player. I mean you play the best. You’re really a great player.
