The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. Most people in Britain regard snake bites as an event which will lead to death, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal(致命的). Sometimes attempts at emergency (紧急) treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with someone unskilled, by mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself treatment and other unnecessary measures, All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, not only the bite of adder presents danger. British snakes are shy animals and far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels itself in danger, as can happen if you take it by surprised step on it accidentally, or if you catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close. 64. If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder, you should_.A.try to catch the adder B.operate immediately C.not worry about the injured D.make no attempt to treat the bite yourself 65. We are told that adders are_. A.normally friendly towards people B.unlikely to bite except in self - defense C.not afraid of people D.possible to attack anyone in their country 66. If an adder hears you coming near, it will usually A.move out of your path B.take no notice of you at all C.pretend to be dead D.wait until you are close and then attack 67. We can learn from the passage that in general British people think snakes are A.not very common in Britain B.harmless animals C.unlucky D.more dangerous than they usually are DThere are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington , D.C. has the National Gallery of Art(美术馆); Paris has the Luvre ; London , the British Museum . Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see . And it does so without a building , or even a wall for its drawings and paintings . FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You dont have to visit the university to see the art . You just need a computer linked to a telephone . You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it . All of the art is stored in the school computer . It is computer art , produced electronically by artists on their own computers . In only a few minutes , your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings . Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum . He says he starts the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works . A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records , or floppy discs , to others to see on their computers . He can also put his pictures on paper . But to print good pictures on paper , the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer . Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities . Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students .Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it . He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum . 68The main purpose of this text is to give information about .Amuseums throughout the world B.an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A.Cart exhibitions in Florida International University Dlatest development of computer art69To see the art in FIU museum , you need .Afloppy discs Ba computer and a printer C.pictures and drawings on paper D.a computer connected to the museum by telephone line 70 are stored in this museum .A.Paintings drawn by means of computer B.Different styles of paintings COld paintings DDrawings done by art students of FIU71The museum was started when .ARobert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists BRobert Shostak wanted to help computer artists Cart students needed a place to show their works Dcomputer scientists wanted to do something about art EOlaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations(文明), broken up by long dark ages in between .In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men. However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years .But the next hundred, the next thousand, the next million? Thats much more difficult. When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they have even begun to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive (原始的)in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters did to us .Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels,or struggling with their ballalators through the
