It was very difficult to get tickets for her show because everybody wanted to see it, so she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better and more willingly for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painters bill. At the bottom of it were the words “Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance,3,” with this note： “After5 p.m. I get fifteen shillings an hour instead of ten shillings.”56. In the article, “Miss Hall” was the name of _. A. a place where people sang and danced B. an unmarried woman C. a hall D. a street57. The womans flat was situated _. A. near the city B. near her home C. in the middle of the city D. by the side of the country road58. The actress gave the painter two tickets, hoping he would_.A. be pleased B. ask less money for his workC. charge more money for his work D. say a good word for her musical show59. After the painter got the tickets from the actress, he _. A. sold them for 3 B. went to watch the musical show C. paid 3 for them D. was very thankful to herBFor years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earths natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants （污染物）can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for buildinggreen plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plants leaves absorb（吸收）or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.60. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because _.Aindoor air pollution can often make people seriously illBman-made building materials give off dangerous gasesCthere may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsDthe air indoors is polluted, which is very harmful61. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _.Aevery modern houseBevery old houseCall kinds of housesDall kinds of offices62. The indoor air pollution is caused by _.Athe limit of the flow of air between inside and outsideBthe building way that the builders want to save energyCthe building things that are made of man-made materialsDthe man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow63. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that _.Aplants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsBplants may take in more oxygen （氧气）which people needCplants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicalsDplants can make our houses prettier and more healthyCIn 1955, a man named Raymond Kroe entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name, “McDonalds”, and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful “fast-food” in America and round the world.Why was his idea so successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the workplace. This meant that they had less time or energy to prepare meals, so they spent more on “TV dinners” and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.Fast-food is not part of the diet of all Americans. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged or processed（处理）. This preference for natural food continues to this day.Form the success of Raymond Krocs fast-food business, we can say that social economic（经济）trends influence where and what we eat.64. “Cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth” means that _.Acooking for some people is worth more moneyBit is not worthwhile to take too much time to cook for one personCthere are more problems when one person cooksDdivorce（离婚）causes people to change their eating habits65. An idea implied but not directly stated in the reading is that _.Amany married women began to work in the 1960sBnatural foods are still popular todayCfast-food is not part of the diet of all AmericansDdivorce（离婚）causes people to change their eating habits66. McDonalds success was mainly because _.Apeople living alone depend on fast-foodBsingle parents have little time to spend in the kitchenCmany women returned to the workplace in the 1960sDhis timing was right67. The main idea of the reading is that _.ARaymond Kroc is the most successful fast-food business owner in the worldBsocial and economic changes affect eating habitsCfast-food is easy to prepare and serve quicklyDAmericans eat either fast-food or natural foodDThere was a lake near a forest in Sweden. The water in the lake was very clear and everything is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field, is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The brook（小河）flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half melted（半融化）snow from last winter on the ground.The reason why the water is so clear, and everything is so quiet and still, is that most of the plant and animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects, which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark（树皮）, sick and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting something, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.All the death and destruction in this place are caused by the smoke out of factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway.68. Why does the farmer have to plant a stronger kind of seed?ABecause few plant life can stand the weather there.BBecause the soil becomes less and less.CBecause the soil there is becoming unfit for farming.DBecause the water in the lake cant be used to irrigate the field.69. The underlined word “destruction” in the passage means _.Abeing destroyedBbeing developedCbeing produced Dbeing protected70. What do you think is the best title for the passage?AA Beautiful Place of Interest.BA Faraway Mountain Area.CA Polluted Place. DA Quiet Place In Sweden.第二节（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 71 Second ,your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test .Third, note-taking offers variety to your study time and help you to hold(保持)your interest.
