Cloze:Directions: Read the passages and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D. (A) English people are generally reserved. A _41_ person is one who doesnt talk very much to strangers, and doesnt show much of his feelings and _42_ gets excited. It is difficult _43_ to know a reserved person. He never tells you anything about himself. And you may work with him _44_ ever knowing where he lives, how much he earns, how many children he had and what his interests are. English people tend to be like that. If they are making a journey _45_ train, they will do their best to find an _46_ compartment. If they have to share the compartment with a stranger, they may travel many miles without _47_ a conversation. If they do talk, personal question like: “How old are you?” or “What is your name?” are not to be asked. Questions like: “How much did you pay _48_ your watch?” “What is your salary?” are almost forbidden. They talk _49_. Loud speeches are regarded _50_ bad manners.41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)It is easy to find your way about in New York. It is laid out so regularly. Instead of streets winding and twisting (迂回) as they do in London, they are all regular and well planned. The streets running north and south are called “avenues” and are numbered, e.g. 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue, etc. The streets going east and west are called “streets” and are also numbered, e.g. 51st Street, 63rd Street. It is all much more logical (合理的) than Londons street names. But I couldnt help thinking how much more interesting than these dull cold numbers are Londons illogical but colorful names of streets, e.g. “Bishopgate” (which is not a gate and hasnt a Bishop in it); “Haymarket” or “Cornmarket” (where you wont see any hey or corn) or “Poultry” (without a living chicken anywhere in sight) or “Threadneedle Street” (where you wont find little girls learning to sew).61.

The heated blood causes the patients body temperature to rise above 42 degrees Celsius. In people with AIDS, that increase in temperature kills some heat-sensitive HIV, the virus, most doctors say, causes AIDS.Heating the blood of AIDS patients has been tried before, say doctors. But during previous attempts, the treatment induced deadly chemical changes in the blood. The Biologic-HT System prevents those changes from happening, allowing the heat to kill viruses with few ill side effects.The new heat treatment cannot be considered a cure for Aids, says president of the company that makes the system. He says the treatment doesnt kill all traces of the virus. However, it kills enough virus particles to give a patients immune system a reprieve in its deadly duel with HIV.Tests of the Biologic-HT treatment began on 36 patients earlier this year. The treatment takes about four hours, and the patient normally feels well enough to leave the hospital or clinic the following morning.So far, the patients who have had the treatment say they feel better and have developed no new opportunistic infectionsdisease that strike people with damaged immune systems. The patients also have experienced about a 50 percent increase in the number of T cells in their bodies. T cells are key disease-fighting cells of the immune system and the main target of HIV.66. This passage is mainly concerned with _.A. a way for treating AIDSB. a heat-sensitive virusC. the immune system of the human bodyD. the function of high temperature67. The blood of the patient_.A. is heated with a single injectionB. is heated by being circulated at a higher rateC. is taken out from the body and then circulated through a heating system.D. Is taken out from the body, heated outside and then put back into the body.68. The previous attempts to use high temperature for treating AIDS failed because
