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。
A
On October 17, 1829, Sam Patch did what he had said he would do. He
perched on a platform built beside Niagara Falls and jumped into the
water a hundred feet below. A big crowd had gathered to watch Sam's
well-advertised leap. The spectators held their breath as the
daredevil hit the swirling water. At last his head burst out of the
foam, thirty feet clear of the falls, and the crowd let out a mighty
roar. Men waved their hats and yelled out the expression that had
become Sam's trademark: ""There's no mistake in Sam Patch!""
Sam began his career as a leaper in 1827, when he jumped eighty feet
into the Passaic River from a bridge that was still under
construction. Delighted with the fame he received, Sam traveled from
town to town, jumping from masts, cliffs, and bridges. Then he made
his great conquest of Niagara Falls.
Sam was encouraged by the widespread public excitement over his
successful leap from the falls. He turned to the higher Genesee
Falls for his next feat. On November 13, a scaffold was constructed
125 feet above the base of the falls. A huge crowd gathered on both
riverbanks. At 2:00 P.M., Sam climbed the shaky scaffold, made a
brief speech, and jumped. Once again there was a hushed silence as
his body smacked the water. But this time Sam didn't resurface.
Sam's body was pulled from the mouth of the river the following
spring. Even so, for years afterward, a legend persisted that the
great Sam Patch was still alive.
56. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. Never Say Die.
B. Sam Patch and Falls.
C. Conquer Niagara Falls
D. A Hero
57. What is the general idea of this passage?
A. Genesee Falls is a dangerous place.
B. Sam Patch jumped at Niagara Falls.
C. There's no mistake in Sam Patch.
D. Sam Patch was a popular leaper.
58. This passage implies that ______________.
A. Sam Patch is still alive
B. Sam Patch was a foolish man
C. Sam Patch loved to get a lot of attention
D. jumping fro high bridges was not very dangerous
B
The elephant is the largest of all land animals. It can reach a
height of eleven feet and weigh nearly six tons. The African
elephant can also boast the biggest ears in the world. They can grow
as large as three-and-a-half feet across. You might think that a
gigantic animal like the elephant wouldn't have much to worry about,
but it has its problems too. And its huge ears can help it to deal
with many problems ranging from pesky insects to great danger.
The ears are very effective fans that can be used to drive away
flies. The elephants' huge ears also help them hear everything
that's happening nearby. A mother elephant might hear the approach
of a dangerous lion that would kill her children.
The elephants' great size can sometimes present a heat problem. The
larger an object, the harder it is for it to lose heat. Elephants
live on the hot plains of Africa, where keeping cool is not an easy
task. Elephants' huge ears help them cool their bodies so they can
survive in the heat. The large surfaces of the ears have many blood
vessels that are very close to the surface of the skin. Blood that
is closer to the surface cools more easily.
The most impressive use of the ears, though, is seen in an
elephant's threat display. When trying to threaten another animal,
the elephant bellows and charges with both ears spread wide. This
makes the huge beast look almost twice as large as it really is. Few
enemies would dare to stand up to anything that huge.
59. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. The Use of the Ears.
B. Keeping Cool in Africa.
C. Survival on the African Plains.
D. The Elephant's Threat Display.
60. We can conclude that if elephants did not have big ears they
would probably __________.
A. see better
B. be smaller
C. not be able to survive
D. not live in Africa
61. The author calls the elephant's threat display “impressive.”
This means that it is _________.
A. interesting
B. admirable
C. amusing
D. normal
C
Only one animal can walk 200 miles without stopping once to rest. It
would take a person two days and two nights to walk this far, and
only one man has ever done it without stopping. What animal has such
endurance (耐力)? The camel! The camel is famous for something else,
too. It can cross an entire desert without a single drink of water.
Its body is built in a special way to help it store water and food.
A person has just one stomach, but a camel has quite a few. Within
each stomach are layers and layers of cells. These cells are like
tiny water balloons, storing liquids until the camel needs them.
When the camel drinks, the cells grow larger and larger. For a whole
week, they can keep the animal's thirst away by sending water to all
parts of its body.
And did you ever wonder why the camel has a hump (驼峰)? The hump is a
storage place for fat. Because it has this storage area, the camel
does not need to eat very often. When the animal needs energy, the
layers of fat serve as fuel to keep it going on the long, hot days
in the burning sun.
The camel has one other gift that makes it well suited to arid
regions. This gift is its nose. A camel can smell a water hole from
miles away!
When a camel moves it sways (摇摆) from side to side like a ship on a
wavy ocean. Because of this swaying action, the camel has been
called the ""Ship of the Desert.""
62. This passage is mainly about .
A. long‑distance walking
B. mysterious ships
C. desert animals
D. the camel
63. Where do camels keep the water they have taken in?
A. In the stomach together with the food they ate.
B. In the cells of their stomachs.
C. In the hums on top of their backs.
D. In the bags they carry on their backs.
64. The camel's hum is storage place for .
A. fat
B. muscles
C. extra water
D. body sugars
65. We can conclude from this passage that camels .
A. will always be useful
B. like to carry heavy loads
C. feel at home in the desert
D. look like ships from a distance
D
The nuclear age in which the human race is living, and may soon be
dying, began for the general public with the dropping of an atom
bomb on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. But for nuclear scientists and
for certain American authorities, it had been known for some time
that such a weapon was possible. Work towards making it had been
begun by the United States, Canada and Britain very soon after the
beginning of the Second World War. The existence of possibly
explosive forces in the nuclei of atoms had been known ever since
the structure of atoms was discovered by Rutherford.
An atom consists of a tiny core called the `nucleus' with attendant
electrons circling round it. The hydrogen atom, which is the
simplest and lightest, has only one electron. Heavier atoms have
more and more as they go up the scale. The first discovery that had
to do with what goes on in nuclei was radio-activity, which is
caused by particles being shot out of the nucleus. It was known that
a great deal of energy is locked up in the nucleus, but, until just
before the outbreak of the Second World War, there was no way of
releasing this energy in any large quantity. A revolutionary
discovery was that, in certain circumstances, mass can be
transformed into energy in accordance with Einstein's formula which
states that the energy generated is equal to the mass lost
multiplied by the square of the velocity of light.
The A-bomb, however, used a different process, depending upon
radio-activity. In this process, called `fission', a heavier atom
splits into two lighter atoms. In general, in radio-active
substances this fission proceeds at a constant rate which is slow
where substances occurring in nature are concerned. But there is one
form of uranium called ‘U235’ which, when it is pure, sets up a
chain reaction which spreads like fire, though with enormously
greater rapidity. It is this substance which was used in making the
atom bomb.
The political background of the atomic scientists' work was the
determination to defeat the Nazis (德国纳粹). It was held – I think
rightly – that a Nazi victory would be a terrible disaster. It was
also held, in Western countries, that German scientists must be well
advanced towards making an A-bomb, and that if they succeeded before
the West did, they would probably win the war. When the war was
over, it was discovered, to the complete astonishment of both
American and British scientists, that the Germans were nowhere near
success, and, as everybody knows, the Germans were defeated before
any nuclear weapons had been made. But I do not think that nuclear
scientists of the West can be blamed for thinking the work urgent
and necessary. Even Einstein favored it.
When, however, the German war was finished, the great majority of
those scientists who had worked together towards making the A-bomb
considered that it should not be used against the Japanese, who were
already on the verge of defeat and, in any case, did not constitute
such a threat to the world as Hitler. Many of them made urgent
representations to the American Government advocating that, instead
of using the bomb as a weapon of war, they should, after a public
announcement, explode it in a desert, and that future control of
nuclear energy should be placed in the hands of an international
authority. Seven of the most eminent of nuclear scientists drew up
what is known as `The Franck Report' which they presented to the
Secretary of War in June 1945. This is a very admirable and
far-seeing document, and if it had won the assent of the
politicians, none of our subsequent terrors would have arisen.
66. We may infer that the writer’s attitude towards the A-bomb is
that __________.
A. it is a terrible threat to the whole of mankind
B. it played a vital part in defeating the Japanese
C. it was a wonderful invention
D. it is a necessary evil
67. According to the passage, an atom is heavy if _________.
A. it is radio-active
B. it has a large nucleus
C. its nucleus has many electrons
D. its nucleus shoots out many particles
68. The American and British scientists were astonished at the end
of the Second World War against Germany because ____________.
A. the Germans had been defeated without the use of nuclear weapons
B. the Western countries had won before they had invented nuclear
weapons
C. they thought the Germans would probably win the war
D. the Germans had made little progress in developing nuclear
weapons
69. According to the writer, most scientists who had helped in
making the A-bomb considered that it should not be used against the
Japanese because __________.
A. it was such a dangerous weapon
B. its use against the Japanese was unnecessary
C. it was a very inhumane weapon
D. the German war was finished
70. It is implied that the nuclear scientists __________.
A. might not have agreed to develop the bomb if there had been no
Nazi threat
B. would have developed the bomb even without the Nazi threat
C. would have made the bomb, under peace-time conditions, but only
for the use of an international authority
D. developed the bomb because Einstein thought it urgent and
necessary
E
Increasingly, over the past ten years, people ?- especially young
people -- have become aware of the need to change their eating
habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed
foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a
growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain
chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical
fertilizers widely used in farming today.
Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which
have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple
terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused
vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and
minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use
of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to
increase the amount -? but not the quality -? of foods grown in
commercial farming areas.
Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed
and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens
in the mass production of poultry: there are battery (养鸡房) farms,
for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in
one building and are fed on food which is little better than
rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food;
they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.
There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving
increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the
question of sugar. This is actually a non?essential food! Although a
natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if
this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that
sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive (易成瘾的):
the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries
and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a
year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of
calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals -? and no fibre
(纤维).
It is significant that nowadays fibre is considered to be an
important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the
fibre has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of
course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries
where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour
and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the
emphasis placed on the eating of wholemeal bread and more vegetables
by modern experts on ‘healthy eating’.
71. People have become more interested in natural foods because they
.
A. want a change of diet
B. no longer like processed foods
C. want to eat food that is better for them
D. want to be fashionable
72. Soil that is rich in organic matter .
A. has had nothing added to it
B. already contains vitamins and minerals
C. contains unused vegetables
D. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it
73. Battery chickens cannot become ‘natural food’ because .
A. they live in crowded conditions
B. they are tasteless
C. their eggs have no vitamins
D. they are not allowed to move about and eat freely
74. According to experts on diet, .
A. sugar is bad for the health
B. the use of sugar is habit forming
C. people need sugar to give them energy
D. sugar only sweetens food
75. If we ate more food containing fibre, .
A. our diet would be healthier
B. we would be as healthy as people in the west
C. our diet would be more interesting
D. we would only eat wholemeal bread and vegetables

Finding enough meat was a problem for primitive man. When
getting it, keeping for some time was just as hard. Three ways
were found to keep meat from spoiling: salt, drying, and freezing.
People near salty waters salted their meat. At first they probably
rubbed dry salt on it, but this preserved only outside. Later they
may
have pickled their meat by soaking them in salt water.
In hot, dry lands, men were found that they could eat meat that
had dried but it was still on the bones. They later learned to cut
meat
into thin strips and hang it up to dry it in the hot air.
Men in cold climates found that freezing meat did not spoil. They
could leave their meat outside and eat it when they pleased.
