Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not, Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail, Unfortunately both of these may have heavily populated areas. Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented, For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem，since an earthquake could easily break the containers. Third, there may occur the danger of a leak(漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen. Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster (灾难) is extremely high.56. Which of the following is FALSE?A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occur at a power stationB. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land. C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake. D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.57. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are_. A. easy B. impossible C. reasonable D. ineffective58. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. The power station is a safe place. B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented. C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.来源:学_科_网 D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.59. What is this passage about? A. Uses of nuclear power B. Dangers from nuclear power. C. Public anger at nuclear power . D. Accidents caused by nuclear power.B Most people think of a camel(骆驼) as an obedient beast of burden, because it is best known for its ability to carry heavy loads across vast stretches of desert without requiring water. In reality, the camel is considerably more than just the Arabian equivalent of mule . It also possesses a great amount of intelligence and sensitivity. The Arabs say that camels are so acutely aware of injustice and ill-treatment that a camel owner who punishes one of the beasts too hard finds it difficult to escape the camels revenge(报仇).Apparently, the animal will remember an injury and wait for an opportunity to get revenge. In order to protect themselves from the vengeful（报仇的）beasts, Arabian camel drivers have learned to trick their camels into believing they have achieved revenge. When an Arab realizes that he has excited a camels rage, he places his own garments on the ground in the animals path. He arranges the clothing so that it appears to cover a mans body. When the camel recognizes its masters clothing on the ground, it seizes the pile with its teeth, shakes the garments angrily and steps on them in a rage（狂怒） again and again. In the end, after its rage has died away, the camel leaves, believing its revenge is completed. Only then does the owner of the garments comes out of hiding, safe for the time being, thanks to this clever trick.60. Which of the following are mentioned in this passage?A The camel never drinks water B The camel is always violentC The camel is always sensitive D The camel is not used any more61. From this passage we can conclude that_. A. camels are usually kind to their owners B. camels are generally as stupid and sensitive as a muleC. camels dont see very well D. camels try to punish people who ill-treated them 62. The writer makes the camels vengeful behavior clear to the readers by giving_. A. a well-planed argument B. a large variety of examples C. some eyewitness accounts D. a typical incident63. which of the following is true?A. A man who punishes a camel harshly(苛刻地) has to play a trick on itB. A camel is very cleverC. A camel is very dangerous to its ownerD. The camel tramples the garments violently in the face of the owner of the garments.CTop lists are lecturing people on everything from 100 places to visit to 100 books to read. Arent you just tired of being told what to do with your time?Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of 101 things not to do:Swim with Dolphins（海豚）？Swimming with dolphins is one of the worlds most profitable tourist activities. However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy ,tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).Heres a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually theyre just opening their mouths.Go to See the Mona Lisa?There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year cant all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldnt just be smiling, shed be laughing.So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Tings NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20 discount.64.According to the passage, swimming with dolphins_.A. is the worlds most popular tourist activity B. gives fun to both tourists and dolphins C. will make tourists busy and tired D. can cause danger to dolphins65. What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa? A. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile. B. It is not as satisfying as expected. C. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.来源:学+科+网Z+X+X+K D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.66. The list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author_. A. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists B. believes other lists are not humorous enough C. intends to persuade people to read more lists D. wants to provide a list different from other listsD Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges are growing well in Floridas weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings expert care, will produce a good crop of oranges this year. But Ed has to fight against Floridas changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Eds entire orange crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed Rawlings is prepared for the frosts(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing, Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer(层) of ice on the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm. What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is sucked in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed Rawlings has effectively used this method(方法)to save many orange crops. But Ed still faces some difficulties. The trees should be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity of water must be used. Too much water can form a thick layer of ice that will break the trees branches. Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat. So Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered and how much water should be used. Computer technology may help Ed Rawlings with some of these worries. With equipment, air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently the trees should be watered. Ed Rawlings will find looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and well all have the benefits (or advantages) of computer age orange.67The passage is mainly about_.A. a farmers expert care for his orange treesB. the different uses of computersC. growing oranges in Floridas changeable weatherD. different ways of frost protection68In the writers eyes, computers_.A. are too expensive for small farmersB. can be a valuable tool for the farmerC. can be used to help oranges grow biggerD. cannot take the place of the farmers experience and judgment 69Which of the following is NOT necessary for Ed Rawlings to do?A. He should water the orange trees as soon as the temperature drops to the freezing point.B. He should decide the quantity of water for the orange trees.C. He has to water the orange trees more often in January and February.D. He has to judge how often he should water the orange trees.70According to the passage, the computer technology can_.A. get rid of the need for frost protectionB. help the farmer get a better harvestC. tell the farmer why outdoor temperature changesD. prevent the temperature from dropping to the freezing pointE When students and pa
