The houses there were all made of wood; almost everything in the houses were made of wood, too. And all the houses faced south. The town was never peaceful. Fire broke out once a week on summer afternoons. People were puzzled who was the real firebug (纵火犯).One day a big fire broke out. It was said that a Negro(黑人) had jumped out of the house on fire, so the police arrested all the Negroes in the street. However, there were fires breaking out when the Negroes were in prison.Mauson, a physics teacher, didnt believe that the Negroes were the firebugs, and decided to find out who the real firebug was. One day, he was invited to drink in a pub and happened to notice that many bottles and plastic plates were baked by the hot sunrays. Suddenly he realized what the actual fact was. He dashed out of the pub to his friends house nearby, which also faced south. He made an experiment there to prove his idea.The next Saturday afternoon, Mauson asked some policemen to come to the house. They were told that the real firebug would be shown there. At that time, the sun was shining full into the house and it became hotter and hotter inside the room. “Now,” said Mauson, “this house will soon catch fire.” People looked at each other in surprise. Mauson asked them to look at the bottles and focus on the table cloth. After a while the cloth gave off a burning smell and began to catch fire!The mystery of fire was discovered, but the police wouldnt believe him and insisted that Negroes had been the firebugs. Instead they arrested Mauson and put him into prison. But Mauson said he would never turn against science.56.The town was never peaceful, for fire broke out _.A. on Sundays B. on summer afternoons C. at any time D. on winter mornings57. Why did the police arrest all the Negroes?A. Because one of them had been seen to set on a fire.B. Because they were suspected to be the firebugs.C. Because the police hated the Negroes.D. Because the Negroes knew something about the fires.58. Drinking in a pub, Mauson realized _.A.he needed to leave the pub B.he needed to back the bottlesC. it was too hot in the pub D. who was the real fire bug59. By making an experiment, it was proved that the real firebug was _.A. the Negroes B. bottles C. sunrays D. plastic platesB Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college. Kings Art Centre A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists. You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paint free of charge. The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee. the Botanic Garden The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University. The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss. Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals. The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called Hissing Sid is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun. Byrons Pool Many stories surround Lord Byrons time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. Im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village. It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byrons Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you dont trust me, then perhaps youll take it from Virginia Woolf over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool. 60. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for _. A. attending the masters class B. working with local artists C. learning life drawing D. seeing an exhibition61. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are _. A. common insects B. impressive plants C. rarely-seen snakes D. wildlife-enthusiasts62. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed _. A. to fear pet bears B. to like walking C. to be a heavy drinker D. to finish university in 180563. What is the passage mainly about? A. Some places for weekend break. B. A way to become creative in art. C.The colourful life in the countryside.D.Unknown stories of Cambridge University.The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth. On 17 July , a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earths atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north wont escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero . Crops are ruined. The sun wont be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive. Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldnt live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?64What is mainly described in the passage?AA historic discovery. BAn event of imagination. CA research on space. DA scientific adventure. 65When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes . Aan earthquake Bdamages to cities Can Earth explosion Dhuge waves 66Why cant the northern half of the earth escape for long?ABecause the land is covered with water BBecause the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth. CBecause people there can not live at the temperature of zero. DBecause wars break out among countries . 67By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove . Aanimals could not live in the cold climate Bwhat happened 65 million years ago was an invented story Cthe human beings will die out in 2094Dthe Earth could be hit by other objects in space D Although most people know there are Seven Wonders（七大奇迹） in the Ancient World, only a few people can name them. This is because most of them are no longer there except the pyramids. However, there is a growing list of wonders of the world today. About nine years ago, UNESCOs World Cultural and Natural Heritage (things that have come down to us from the past) List had 411 places and 136 countries were responsible to protect them, and the list keeps on growing. Usually it is the task of a group of 21 experts to decide which places go on the list. The experts are chosen to work for six years. Their work is to examine and discuss the suggestions from different countries. They also manage the World Heritage Fund and have the right to decide what help to give to countries for protection work. Over the past centuries a lot of cultural or historic places have been destroyed by man or nature. Protecting our natural and cultural heritage is a long and difficult task. Earthquakes, floods, pollution, wars, or even tourism are some of the dangers that harm this heritage. When a historic place is in great danger, it is put on the World Heritage in Danger List and necessary things will be done to protect it. Places which are on the Danger List include Historic Bridges of Indiana, Elizabeths Hospital, Rosenwald School in Southern U. S., etc.68. The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World include _. A. Golden Gate B
