Washoe is a young chimpanzee(黑猩猩). She is no 41 chimpanzee, though. Scientists are doing a research 42 her. They want to see how civilized(驯化)she can 43. Already she does many things a human being can do.
For example, she has been learning how to exchange 44 with people. The scientists are teaching her 45 language. When she wants to be picked 46, Washoe points up with one finger. She rubs her teeth with her finger 47 she wants to brush her teeth. This is done after every meal.
Washoe has also been 48 to think out and find answers to problems. Once she was put in a 49 with food hanging from the ceiling. It was too high to 50 . After she considered the 51, she got a tall box to stand 52. The food was still too high to be reached.Washoe found a 53 pole. Then she climbed onto the 54, grasped the pole, and 55 down the food with the pole.
Washoe 56 like a human, too. The scientists keep her in a fully furnished(家具齐全的)house. After a hard 57 in the laboratory, she goes home, 58 she plays with her toys. She 59 enjoys watching television before going to bed.

Fat on human beings is distributed(分布)in different ways. Some fat people have a large stomach and no waistline—which makes them look round, rather like apples. Others are fatter below the waist, which makes them appear pear-shaped(梨形的).
There are two types of fat: external fat (fat under the skin)and internal fat (fat inside the boby wall). Doctors,who have been examining the relationship between health and fatness,have found that the `pears'have less internal fat, but the `apples'have more internal fat than external fat. This seems to be what causes the health problems.
The best treatment for fatness is to reduce the internal fat. But unfortunately it seems that dieting(节食)simply makes an apple-shaped person into a smaller apple and a pear-shaped person into a smaller pear. At the moment there is no known way of reducing the internal rather than external fat.
61.The text is mainly about .
A.fatness and health B.ways to lose weigh
C.people's figures D.distribution of fat
62.Which of the following people is most likely to have health problems?
63.When a pear-shaped person becomes thinner, he/she loses more .
A.internal fat than external fat
B.external fat than internal fat
C.fat above the waist
D.fat below the waist

Frank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock. "Oh no!" he thought to himself. "Another day at that office;a boss who shouts at me all the time."
As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door. He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside. "Bigwoods Football Pools(足球公司)would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds."
Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette(香烟)fell from his lips as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.
At 11:30 Frank arrived at work. "Please explain why you're so late," his boss said. "Go and jump in the lake," replied Frank. "I've just come into a little money so this is good-bye.Find yourself someone else to shout at."
That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar(雪茄) when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men,neatly dressed in grey suits. "Mr Smithson," one of them said, "we're from Bigwoods Pools. I'm afraid there's been a terrible mistake…"

The idea of fighting a noise by making more noise sounds strange , but that's exactly what motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries.
Carmakers'research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing in more noise with the help of loudspeakers can reduce the unwanted noise.
Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency(频率)mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time with the lowest point of the other wave, the result is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle(周期), we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise-killing systems both inside and outside the cars.
Another good thing about the use of noise-killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer, which not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less oil and work better.
Some engineers believe that the noise-killing system will be used in most cars in 1996. But the carmakers haven't decided if they will put it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars.
67.Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise-killing system works?
A.By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction.
B.By mixing high frequency sound waves with low frequency sound waves.
C.By making copies of the unwanted sound waves and letting them out a little later.
D.By mixing new sound waves with the noise and sending them out together.
68.Besides its main function(功能)the noise-killing system can .
A.make a car lighter
B.make a car quieter
C.reduce the cost of a silencer
D.improve the performance of a silencer
69.The noise-killing system is not yet popular mainly because .
A.it increases the cost of car production
B.carmakers are not sure if it is necessary
C.it is still being tried out
D.people still have their doubts

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless,but only a few lost their lives.
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker(面包师)in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family,was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(面包房)into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.
By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many wellk-nown buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.
Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in thier houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire,Christopher Wren,the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them new St Paul's.
The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.
70.The fire began in .
A.a hotel B.the palace
C.Pudding Lane D.Thames Street
71.The underlined word "family" in the second paragraph means .
A.home B.children
C.wife and husband D.wife and children
72.It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that .
A.some people lost their lives
B.the birds in the sky were killed by the fire
C.many famous buildings were destroyed
D.the King's bakery was burned down
73.Why did the writer cite(引用) Samuel Pepys?
A.Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.
B.Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.
C.To show that poor people suffered most.
D.To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.
74.How was the fire put out according to the text?
A.The king and his soldiers came to help.
B.All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.
C.People managed to get enough water from the river.
D.Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. —Thomas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic 26 to our class. When the papers were 27 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 28 mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about 29 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neill 30 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 31 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O'Neill asked 32 questions, and she didn't 33 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 34 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 35 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don't 36 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 37 I can say:it was the most important single 38 of my life. Thirty years after being 39 to Macaulay's words, they 40 seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a 41 to measure ourselves rather than others.
42 of us are asked to make 43 decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle. But all of us are called 44 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 45 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 46 turned over to the policeman? Should the 47 change received at the store be forgotten or 48? Nobody will know except 49. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 50 to live with someone you respect.
26. A. test B. problem C. paper D. lesson
27. A. examined B. completed C. marked D. answered
28. A. easy B. funny C. same D. serious
29. A. lying B. cheating C. guessing D. discussing

31. A. come B.leave C. remain D. apologize
32. A. no B. certain C. many D. more
33. A. excuse B. reject C. help D. scold
34. A. above B. common C. following D. unusual
35. A. repeat B. get C. put D. copy
36. A. worry B. know C. hear D. talk
37. A. myself B. ourselves C. themselves D. herself

Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership(伙伴关系)which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫)on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚)of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as"dustman", taking some of the waste products from the corals and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. Ifthe plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. —Thomas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic 26 to our class. When the papers were 27 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 28 mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about 29 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neill 30 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 31 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O'Neill asked 32 questions, and she didn't 33 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 34 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 35 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don't 36 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 37 I can say:it was the most important single 38 of my life. Thirty years after being 39 to Macaulay's words, they 40 seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a 41 to measure ourselves rather than others.
42 of us are asked to make 43 decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle. But all of us are called 44 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 45 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 46 turned over to the policeman? Should the 47 change received at the store be forgotten or 48? Nobody will know except 49. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 50 to live with someone you respect.

"As I stood in front of the grave(墓)of President Richard
Nixon,I was thinking about the time 25 years ago when this
president helped bring the United States and China closer
together.Young people of our two contries should help this

This remark was make by a Shanghai student when speaking to his
fellow students at the Nixon Library in California,U.S.A.He was
one of 80 middle school students from China attending a month-
long"Youth Summit".The Summit was to mark the 25th anniversary

turning point in China-U.S.relations.
The Youth Summit was aimed at increasing understanding and
friendship between young students of the two countries through
visits and discussions.Seventy-five American students were
selected to visit China.They also visited the Nixon Library on

Library said he was pleased to see the American and Chinese

At 9:00 Dick Spivak's bank telephoned and said his payment was
late."The check is in the post,"Dick replied quickly.At 11:45 Dick
left for a 12:00 meeting across town.Arriving late,he explained
that traffic(交通)had been had.That evening,Dick's girlfriend
wore a new dress.He hated it."It looks just great on you,"he said.
Three lies in one day!Yet Dick Spivak is just an ordinary man.
Each time,he told himself that sometimes the truth causes too
many problems.Most of us tell much the same white lies,harmless
untruths that help to save trouble.Hos often do we tell white
lies?It depends in part on our age,education,and even where we
live.According to one U.S.study,women are more truthful than men,
and honesty increases as we get older.
While most people use little white lies to make life easier,the
majority of Americans care about honesty in both public and
personal life.They say that people today are less honest than
they were ten years ago.Although it is believed that things are
getting worse,lying seems to be an age-old human problem.The
French philos(哲学家)Vauvenarges,writing in the eighteenth
century,touched on the truth when he wrote,"All men are born
truthful and die liars(说谎者)."

means_____.

B.dishonesty increases as people get older
C.people were dishonest in the 18th century
D.it is social conditions that make people tell lies

This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure-a 120-page diary kept 190 years age by Deborah Logan,"a woman who knew everybody in her day,"James Green ,the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.
Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia ,It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington .D. C in the war of 1812.She describes President James Madison on horseback as "perfectly shaking with fear"during the troubled days.George Wash- ington,she writes,mistook her for the wife of a French man.and praised her excellent English .
The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from Eng- land to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先)to the Library Company,which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.
Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession"a bout five minutes"when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person.On returning to his hotel after showing the percious book to Green,Luxmoore waas shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxi.
Without any delay,Green began calling every taxi company in the city,with no luck,"I've felt sick since then,"Luxmoore told reporters.
According to Green.no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building .

Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become "computer-literate." But not all experts (专家) agree that this is a good idea.
One ploneer,in particular,who disagrees is David Tebbutt,the founder of Computertown
UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer.David does not see it that way.He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason,to bring computers to people and make them"people-literate."

The computers are becoming "peoPle-literate."
56. Which of the following is David Tebbutt's ides on the relationship between people and
computers?
A.Computer learning should be made easier.
B.There should be more computer clubs for experts.

My Experience in a Free School
At first I couldn't believe it! There were no 26 in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to 27 . Although we all lived “in”, 28 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “lights out”.
The 29 thing was that practically all the students went to class, 30 very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 31 class. The new ones always went wild 32 , but this never lasted long. The 33 took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like 34 ; never did we have to 35 “stand up”, “sit down”, “speak out”. I don't 36 one student who didn't try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in 37 school, but what a difference in the approach(方式)!For example, in botany(植物学)we had 38 classes in the spring or fall, but instead we 39 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. 40 in winter we each studied a few 41 things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms - small ones 42 , but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 43 time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, 44 the angles(角度)and so on. I didn't take 45 . I can't stand it! Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers. That's 46 !
47 I think I am a 48 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else my age, and I can think better. That's probably a real big 49 between the free school and regular school-the amount of 50 .

27. A. home B. bed C. class D. work
28. A. anybody B. nobody C. teachers D. parents

The Channel Islands are a group of British-owned islands lying in the English Channel(海峡), 10 to 30 miles off the French coast, and 70 to 90 miles from the English coast. There are ten islands with a total land area of 75 square miles and a total population of 123,000. The three largest islands, Jersey, Guernsey, and Alderney, have long been known for the fine breeds(品种)of cattle that are raised on them and named after them.
In earliest known history the islands were considered part of Normandy, which was part of France, but the ruler of Normandy became king of England in 1066, and from then on the islands were looked upon as British land. English control was unbroken until World War II, when the Germans held the islands for five years.

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J.C.” ,he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens' victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic(体育的)but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”
Having returned from Berlin. He received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens' Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.
“Sure, it bothered(烦扰)me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In time, however, his gold medals(奖牌)changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
55. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when __________.
A. he went to Ohio State University
B. his teacher made fun of him
C. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”
D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet
56. In the Big Ten meet, Owens __________.
A. hurt himself in the back
B. succeeded in setting many records
C. tried every sports event but failed
D. had to give up some events
57. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because __________.
A. he was not of the right race
B. he was the son of a poor farmer
C. he didn't shake hands with Hitler
D. he didn't talk to the US president on the phone
58. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,” he means that the medals __________.
A. have been changed for money to help him live on
B. have made him famous in the US
C. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life
D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs
59. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

Fish Ears Tell Fish Tales
Fish have ears. Really. They're quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths.
As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate(碳酸钙).By looking through a microscope(显微镜)and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fish's age, just like the growth rings of a tree.
Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. They're examining the chemical elements(元素)of each otolith ring.
The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring.
Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history.
In tne case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles.
This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his technology, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.
63. What can we learn about fish ears from the text?
A. They are small soft rings.
B. They are not seen from the outside.
C. They are openings only on food fish.
D. They are not used to receive sound.
. Why does the writer compare the fish to trees?
A. Trees gain a growth ring each day.
B. Trees also have otoliths.
C. Their growth rings are very small.
D. They both have growth rings.
65. Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings?
A. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.
B. Chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.
C. We can know more about fish and their living environment.
D. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.
66. How would you understand “fish scientists are now lending their ears”?
A. They are very interested in Thorrold's research findings.
B. They want to know where they can find fish.
C. They lend their fish for chemical studies.
D. They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears.

The United States: Fliers may want to have their tickets in hand before catching their planes, but the airline companies are doing everything they can to bring forward cost-saving ticketless flight- no paper needed, just a ticket number and a photo ID(带照片的身份证). Anyone who buys a Northwest E-ticket through the airline's computer service by June 16 will get an award(奖励). Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a friend for $99, good anywhere in the US or Canada through Feb. 12, 2000, along with the lowest ticket prices. Some airlines offer extra frequent-flier miles for the ticketless crowd. And there are rising punishments for paper lovers. American, Northwest, United, and last week, US Airways have raised the cost for lost-ticket replacement(替换)to $70 from either $60 or $50 . The airlines insist that the increase in price is not meant to push travelers toward E-tickets but only covers the increasing cost of replacing and tracking a missing ticket.
67. Why is the new ticketless flight introduced?
A. It is cheaper for air travelers.
B. It helps reduce the cost for airlines.
C. It can use computer to plan air traveling.
D. It helps prevent fliers from losing their tickets.
68. To encourage people to take ticketless flights, the airlines ___________.
A. sell their tickets for $99 from June to February the following year
B. let travelers go to both the US and Canada with the same tickets
C. allow each traveler to have an extra $99 ticket for a friend of theirs
D. offer ticketless travelers free miles to fly in the US
69. Who are the paper lovers mentioned in the text?
A. People who like to have paper airplane tickets.
B. People who love paper products of various kinds.
C. People who travel with paper on a plane.
D. People who have lost their ticket and buy a second one.
70. The airline companies say that they have raised the lost-ticket replacement price in order to ____________.
A. attract travelers to take ticketless flights
B. punish those who insist on using paper tickets
C. do better than other airline companies

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从26-50各题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。
People do not analyse every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 26 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without 27 ;they try to find a solution by trial and error. 28 ,when all of these methods 29 ,the person with a problem has to start analysing. There are six 30 in analysing a problem.
31 the person must recognise that there is a problem. For example,Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 32 that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must 33 the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 34 the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for 35 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 36 solutions. For example, suppose Sam 37 that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 38 he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 39 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After 40 the problem, the person should have 41 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 42 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one 43 seems to be the solution 44 the problem. Sometimes the 45 idea comes quite 46 because the thinker suddenly sees something in a 47 way. Sam ,for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 48 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 49 the brake.
Finally the solution is 50 . Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

三、阅读理解(共25小题。A 节每小题2分,B 节每小题1分;满分45分)
A)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。
Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for -its stadium(运动场)and theatres , its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not , however, see Pompeii's people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.
Once ,Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano(火山).Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (喷发)for centuries ,so the people lf Pompeii felt safe.But they were not.
In August of AD 79,Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.
For cneturies, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861,an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all,there were everyday objects , whicn tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue collue in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine.They likde bread, too; metal bread pans were in veery bakery.In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread- a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark , shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.
Ginseppe has died , but his work comtinues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
51. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?
A.TO visit the volcano.
B. TO shop and eat there.
C. To watch sports and plays.
D. To see how Pompeiians lived.
52. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.
B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.
D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.
53. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?
A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.
B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.
C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.
D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.
54.What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?
A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.
B. They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.
C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.
D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.
B
When I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts(童子军),so I used to go camping every summer ,and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.
We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving,we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded(环绕)by cliffs(悬崖).If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to past our camp.
Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.
We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river -we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.
An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep(悄悄移动)down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Mooving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.
When it got dark , we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man , but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.
Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.

C
I’m seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them. And carried things to their cars. It was hard work.
While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered hes name and said, “Mr Castle, how are you?” we talked about this and that.As he left, he said," It was nice talking to you,Brett. ” I helt great,he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. he didn’t remember me at all, he just resd the name plate. I wish I had put “Irving ” down on my name plate. If he’d have said, “Oh yes, Irving,how could I forget you?” I’d have been ready for him. There’snothing personal here.
The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was:you couldn’t accept tips(小费)。 Okay, I’m outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction(反应)is to take a quarter and give it to me. I’d say,‘‘ I ‘m sorry, I can’t,” they ‘d get angry. When you give someone o tip, you’re sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say,”Oh,thanks a lot. ” When you say‘‘I’m sorry,I can’t.” They'd get angry.When you give someone a tip,you're sort of being polite.You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and yo cxpect them to say, "oh , thanks a lot." When you say,"I'm sorry,I can't,"they feel a little put down. They say "No one will know.” And they put it in your pocket. You say, "I really can’t.” It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically(身体上)to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car,and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.
I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.
60. what can be the best title for this text?
A. how hard life is for Box Boys
B. getting along with Customers
C. why I Gave up My Job
D. the Art of Taking Tips
61. From the second paragraph, we can infer that___.
A. the writer didn’t like the impersonal part of his job
B . with a name plate,people can easily start talking
C . Mr Castle mistook Irving for Brett
D. Irving was the writer’s real name
62. The box boy refused to accept tips because__
A. customers only gave small tips
B. some customers had strange ideas about tipping
C. the store forbade the box boys to take tips
D. he didn’t want to fight with the customers
63. The underlined phras“put down” in the third paragraph probably means__
A. misunderstood
B. dEfeated
C. hateful
D. hurt
D
You are what you eat. This saying has provided scientists with clues(线索)about the diet of hominids- our early relatives of 3 million years ago.
Studying carbon atoms(碳原子)locked up in tooth enamel(珐琅质),two researchers argue against the widely held belief that hominids ate little more than fruits and leaves. Sponheimer and Julia Lee-Thorp of the University of Cape Town,South Africa, report their findings in Friday’s Science.
There aren’t many clues for us to know the life of early hominids. The shape of hominids’ teeth offered the first clues. Large and flat-edged with thick enamel, they looked perfect for eating nuts and fruits, different from the sharp teeth one would want to tear into meat with. The first stone tools, which would help in eating meat, didn’t appear until about half a million years later.
Scientists have also found marks on hominids’teeth with patterns very similar to those on the teeth of modern-day fruit eaters. Sponheimer and Lee-Thorp tried a new method ,looking at the chemical composition of the tooth enamel.They studied the enamel for the carbon-13. Animals that eat grasses have higher carbon-13 levels than those eating fruits and other plants.
What they found was that the teeth to the hominids had an in-between amount of carbon-13, which meant not only they were eating fruits, they were eating a lot of grasses, or animals eating grasses. The lower carbon-13 levels could also come from eating certain types of insects (昆虫).
But there are people who understand differently. Prof. Ungar of the University of Arkansas agrees the study offers new suggestions of hominids diet, but disagrees about the suggestion that meat could explain the lower carbon-13 levels .
One suggestion might be true though-take good care of your teeth .In 3 million years,a scientist might be using them to figure out what you ate for dinner.
. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Protect Your Teeth B.What the Hominid Ate
C. Where the Hominid lived D. The Formation of Teeth Enamel
65. Before the two scientists' findings, most people thought that hominids______.
A. lived half a million years ago
B. ate mainly fruits and leaves
C. used tools to dig grass
D. had sharp teeth.
66. The two scientists'findings werer mainly based on the study about _____.
A. the shape of hominids' teeth
B. the teeth marks of early fruit eaters
C. the grasses of 3 million years ago
D. the make-up of the tooth enamel
67. What is it that Prof. Ungar finds doubtful?
A. Hominids possibly ate grass-eating animals.
B. Hominids probably had different diets.
C. Hominids were basically fruit- and grass-eaters.
D. Hominids had lower level of carbon-13 in the teeth.
