A
A Notice
It was a small town which lay on the coast. Most people there lived by catching fish. The hurricanes often struck the area from July to October. Some of the people died in the sea when their boats were blown over by the heavy winds. So they paid much attention to the weather forecasts. They were afraid to meet with the hurricanes when they were catching fish on the sea. Each of the families had a radio and people always took them with themselves and listened to them at any time.
It was September. A hurricane attacked the town one night. Plenty of trees were pushed over and all the electric and telephone lines were broken. People couldnt watch TV, or call their friends, or go to work. To their anger, they couldnt listen to the weather forecasts the Town Radio Station broadcast. The food and fresh water would soon be short and the patients couldnt be given medical care—no medicine could be carried there. People didnt know what would happen and they looked anxious.
On the fourth day they read a notice on the Town Weekly. It was written, “Recently we have to stop the weather forecast because of the bad weather. We usually get the forecasts from the airport. But the roads are all blocked by the fallen trees and stones. Whether or not well be able to broadcast the weather forecast tomorrow depends on the weather!”
21. Why do the people in the town often took radios with themselves?
A. They felt lonely when catching fish on the sea.
B. They cared about the weather forecasts.
C. They couldnt watch TV on the sea.
D. They hoped to get some good news.
22. The writer wrote the passage mainly to ____.
A. give a news report
B. describe bad effects of natural disasters
C. warn people to be careful against hurricane
D. describe the importance of weather forecast
23. How did the people feel after reading the notice?
A. Happy. B. Excited.
C. Encouraged. D. Disappointed.
B
English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the worlds books and three quarters of international mails are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary —perhaps as many as two million words.
However, lets face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple, and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which arent sweet, are meat.
When we explore its paradoxes (矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers dont fing, grocers dont groce, and hammers dont ham? If the plural (复数) of tooth is teeth, shouldnt the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese—so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it shows the creativity of human beings. Thats why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this passage, I end it.
24. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Boxing rings should be round.
B. Pineapples are the apples on the pine tree.
C. There should be an egg in an eggplant.
D. Sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things.
25. Which of the following is the correct plural?
A. Beeth. B. Geese.
C. Meese. D. Tooths.
26. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?
A. A wise man and a wise guy.
B. Overlook and oversee.
C. Quite a lot and quite a few.
D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
27. The underlined phrase “wind up” in the last paragraph probably means “____.”
A. forget B. start
C. send D. finish
C
Geologists have been studying volcanoes for a long time. Though they have learned a great deal, they still have not discovered the cause of volcanic action. They know that the inside of the earth is very hot, but they are not sure exactly what causes the great heat. Some geologists have thought that the heat was caused by the great pressure of the earths outer layers, or the heat may be left from the time when the earth was formed. During the last sixty years scientists have learned about a lot of radioactive elements (放射性元素). Many scientists now believe that much of the heat inside the earth is produced by radioactive elements.
Whatever the cause of the heat may be, we do know that the earth gets hotter the farther down we dig. In deep mines and oil wells the temperatures rise about 1° F for every 50 feet. At this rate of the temperature, 40 miles below the earths surface should be over 4000°. This is much hotter than necessary to melt rock. However, the pressure of the rock above keeps most materials from melting at their usual melting points. Geologists believe that the rock deep in the earth may be plastic, or putty-like (油灰状的). In other words, the rock changes slowly, but is not liquid. But if some changes in the earths crust (地壳) let out the pressure, the rock melts. Then the hot, liquid rock can move up toward the surface.
28. What is the cause of the great heat inside of the earth?
A. It has not been known yet.
B. The radioactive elements giving out heat.
C. The great pressure of the earths outer layers.
D. The heat left from the time when the earth was formed.
29. What prevents most rock from melting at its usual melting points?
A. The pressure of the rock itself.
B. The pressure of the rock above.
C. The pressure of the earths outer layers.
D. The heat given out by some radioactive elements.
30. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Rock would be melted at 4000°.
B. The rock deep in the earth is liquid.
C. The farther down, the cooler the earth gets.
D. The rock wont melt when the pressure is let out.

Recently some American scientists have suggested people have the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 31
Human life has changed greatly but our bodies are unable to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. 32 So they are called “diseases of civilization.” Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 33 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.
Stone Age people hunted wild animals, whose meat had much less fat than domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They had no dairy products such as milk, and they made very little use of grains. 34 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.
35 But scientists believe we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty, and sweet food.
A. Stone Age people lived a simple life.
B. But, today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.
C. In that case, they would live much healthier.
D. Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.
E. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.
F. People today probably dont want to live like our ancestors.
G. Modern people used to suffer from “diseases of civilization.”
31. 32. 33. 34. 35.
