In China, to eat meat is a sign of wealth. If a westerner doesnt take a bite of their Peking duck, there is something wrong.But many people in Europe and America choose not to eat meat or fish they are known as vegetarians. In the US alone there are 12 million vegetarians and 19,000 more people stop eating meat every week.People often become vegetarians in order to lose weight or eat more healthily. A lot of research has shown that vegetarian diets are healthier than the average western diet. Fried chicken may be delicious to eat, but all that extra fat can damage your heartThere are many other reasons for turning veggie. It could be that you cannot afford to buy meat. Or maybe you just dont like the taste of it.A large number of vegetarians choose to give up meat because they believe it is cruel to kill animals for food. They believe many animals are not allowed to live in comfort and, when they are killed, it is carried out in a very painful way.While some vegetarians are happy not to eat animals, others take it one step further and refuse to eat any animal product. They are known as vegans and will not eat cheese, yoghurt and eggs, or drink milk. Neither will they wear clothes or shoes made from animal skin, such as leather. They say that if it is wrong to kill an animal for food, it is worse to kill it for clothing.But there are some groups that go even further. Fruitarians believe it is wrong to kill any living plant or animal. Besides refusing to eat meat, they will only eat fruit and vegetables that have not been killed when harvested. This means they cannot take an apple from a tree: they must wait until the apple falls to the ground. Only then can it be considered dead.56 A lot of _ choose to give up meat because they believe it is cruel to kill animals for food.A. vegans B. vegetarians C. fruitarians D. researchers 57 According to the text, vegetarians refer to people who _.A. choose not to eat meat or fish B. choose to eat meat or fish C. choose not to eat protein D. choose to eat vegetables 58 According to the text, which one of the following is not mentioned?A.

Meat and health BHave you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble-and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP. ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away. Heres an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telegram came. The womans father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out whats behind these strange mental messages. Heres another example-one of hundreds of dreams that have come true. A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “Theres room for one more.”The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, “Theres room for one more.”Then the man saw that the drivers face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldnt get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed! Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind. 60.

Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by manby his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.Isnt it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are goingand why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “Ive some good news and some bad news. The good news is that were making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that were lost and dont know where were going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.64.Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted mainly because_.A. the population of the world is decreasing fast B. people use too many man-made materialsC. we have more and more industry D. we are producing more cars, trucks and buses65.

According to the passage, what does man value most?A. Industry. B. Health. C. Clean air. D. The future of the children.67. The story about the airline pilot tells us that _.A. man knows where the society is goingB. people do not welcome the rapid development of modern societyC. man can do little about the problem of pollutionD. the writer is worried about the future of our society D.It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years, people never seem to become much better off！ Prices are rising continuously. This is called inflation（通货膨胀）. The money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. People have got used in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. It seems that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money-stability（稳定） of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred（延期） payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates people spending, and prevents people from saving.68From the passage, we can know inflation _ .Aseldom happensBis very common at presentCis a mustDhas become less in recent years69According to the passage, if incomes and prices rise together_.Athe business will become betterBmoney will hold its valueCinflation wont be a problemDinflation will remain to be
