It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the worlds largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of the extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns. The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening in the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, is a room called the Council Room. Many Indian artifacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry. For many years, there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water. Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass- bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.41.

It links with the other four towns which make up New York City and with New Jersey by means of subways, underground tunnels and bridges which lead into Manhanttan from the surrounding area.The Brooklyn Bridge was the first suspension bridge to link Brooklyn to Manhanttan. It is also the second oldest bridge in New York. The architect was John Augustus Roebling, who was the chief engineer of the suspended Railroad Bridge at Niagara Falls.Misfortune accompanied the building of the bridge, which took place from 1869 to 1883.The architect died as a result of an accident early during the construction. His son, Washington Roebling, carried on his fathers work, using the most advanced engineering techniques of the day. He also fell ill during the construction of the bridge and was obliged to direct the work on it from an apartment window overlooking the site.Since its construction the Brooklyn Bridge has remained a busy and important passage in New York.The Brooklyn Bridge is 6775 feet long and 1595 feet wide. The suspended part is 3450 feet long and 85 feet wide. It has a clearance of 133 feet above water level. Four huge cables extend across the bridge, supported by two towers, each 272 feet high. Each of these cables is made up of 5700 wires.45.If you want to go to Princeton University in New Jersey from Manhattan, you _.A. must drive across a bridgeB. must take a Metro（地铁） trainC. have to go through a tunnelD. can use any of the above means46.The Brooklyn Bridge is _.A. the first suspended railway bridge in the USAB. the first oldest bridge in New YorkC. the first suspension bridge between Manhattan Island and BrooklynD. the first suspension bridge built in the USA47.In the course of the construction of the bridge_.A. the chief engineer was in short of moneyB. misfortune fell on the chief engineerC.

He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at six a.m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his door-step before that. Many of Bills customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 oclock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometime in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doormat, and at 4 oclock Bill reopened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.“Whats wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.”I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.53.Bill opened the shop so early in the day because _.A. the liked to do as much as possible before he went to workB. the shop had to be open when the morning papers cameC. he was never sure of the timeD. it was then that he did a lot of business54.You might say “hard luck” to someone who _.A. has just heard some very good newsB. is less fortunate than he or she ought to beC. puts great effort into whatever he or she triesD. fails through his or her own fault entirely55.On that sunny afternoon, the writer was surprised when he saw Bill because _.A. he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishingB. he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at allC. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strangeD. Bill stayed in his flat56.From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?A. The bell was; it must have gone off at the wrong time.B. Bill was; he had dropped off to sleep.C. The writers watch was fast.D. Bills clock was wrong; it was very old.EMusic lessons may improve memory and learning ability in young children by promoting different patterns of brain development, a study shows. After a year of musical training, children aged between 4 and 6 performed better at a standard memory test than did children who were not taught music. The findings suggest that music could be useful for building the learning capacity of young minds. Earlier studies have shown that older children given music lessons become better at IQ tests than those who are musically untrained, but this is the first to show such a benefit in children so young. Professor Laurel Trainor, of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, also found clear differences in the ways in which childrens brains responded to sound after a year of musical training. “This is the first study to show that brain responses in young, musically trained and untrained children change differently over the course of a year,” she said. “These changes are likely to be related to the cognitive（认知的）benefit that is seen with musical training.” Professor Trainors team looked at 12 children, 6 of whom had just started extra-curricular（课程外）music lessons and 6 of whom were not being taught any music except that included as a standard part of their school curriculum（课程标准）. During the year all 12 children had their brains examined four times using magnetoencephalography (MEG), and each child was played two types of sound white noise and a violin tone. The MEG measurements showed that all children responded more to violin sounds than to white noise, reflecting a preference for meaningful tones, and their response times fell over the course of the year as their brains matured.57. This passage is mainly about _.A. music lessons are good for the memory and learning capabilityB. the benefit from musical training for childrenC. a study on twelve young childrens brainsD. new technology to examine childr
