Over a 10-year period, Jones had managed to cheat thousands of people throughout the state out of almost $10 million.He advertised his fantastic ideas on TV. “For some reason,” Jones said, “TV seems to break the ice. Even though you are a total stranger to the viewer, once he sees you on TV in his home, he feels like he knows you. You enter his living room and become a trusted friend.”Jones had an imagination that wouldnt quit. One time he showed viewers an “official government” earthquake report which “proved” that the western half of California would collapse into the sea within three years. For $100, he said, Jones would insure your house and property for full value. Thousands of people who saw that TV ad sent him a hundred dollars each.In another TV ad, Jones claimed that he had come to an agreement with the federal and state government for exclusive（独享的）air rights. He told viewers that, for only $100, they could own the first 10 miles above all their property. You would be able to charge any commercial plane that flew over your property $100 per crossing. You would also be able to charge government rockets, satellites, space shuttles, and space stations $100 for each and every violation of your air rights.Another time, Jones claimed to have invented a product that gets rid of calories. He showed the viewers a spray can of “NoCal.” He said that by simply spraying NoCal on your food, a chemical interaction would cause all the calories in the food to simply disappear within about 10 seconds. The NoCal was only $10 a can. As usual, Jones received thousands of checks in the mail.The judge told Jones that he should be ashamed of himself. Jones responded that he was very ashamed of himself, and that when he got out of prison he hoped to become a TV adviser to help people avoid getting cheated. He told the judge that he was already developing an instructional CD that, for merely $100, would save people thousands of dollars in scams（骗局）. The judge nodded, and then changed Jones sentence from 10 years to 12 years.64According to Jones, he could successfully cheat many people mainly because .Ahe promised them a large profitBthey were too eager to make moneyCthey believed too much in TV adsDhe was skillful in communicating with people65Which of the following statements is TRUE?AJones showed unusual imagination in his tricks.BJones was closely related to the state government.CWestern California was in danger of going under the sea.DJones felt guilty and was determined to lead a new life.66We can infer that people who wanted to buy “NoCal” from Jones . Awere mainly from low income familiesBall had a rich knowledge of chemistryCwere probably interested in losing weight Dusually did the shopping through the Internet67The judge changed the sentence at last because .AJones was planning another big scamBhe could hardly believe what Jones had told himCJones had cheated more people than he expectedDhe had suffered from Jones scams himselfCThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically. Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale（秤）instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels. On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous. Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.68. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _.A. diet products fail to bring out peoples potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet products69. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _.A. try out a variety of diet foodsB. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC. pay attention to their own eating habitsD. watch their weight rather than their diet70. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means _.A. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories71. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _.A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energy72. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?DFor photographers lacking training, experience and even the ability to click a shutter button, they produce remarkable pictures. Under the sea, deep in the woods and high in the sky, furry, feathery and leathery-skinned creatures are opening up vistas（远景）by taking cameras where no human can go.This is the world of animal-borne imagine celebrated last month at a conference sponsored by the National Geographic Society for the 20th anniversary of its Crittercam, the device that started it all.Si
