loft(阁楼) through a trap and to exercise above and around the loft and gradually they are taken away for short distance in wicker baskets and releasedthey are then expected to find their way home in the shortest possible time in their training flights or in actual races, the birds are taken to prearranged distant points and released to find their way back to their own loftsonce the birds are liberated, their owners, who are standing by at the home lofts, anxiously watch the sky for the return of their entriessince time is of the essence (本质) the speed with which the birds can be induced to enter the loft trap may make the difference between gaining a win or a second place the head of a homing pigeon is comparatively small, but its brain is one quarter larger than that of the ordinary pigeonthe homing pigeon is very intelligent and will continue to the point of stubbornness (顽强) ；some have been known to fly a hundred miles off course to avoid a storm some homing pigeon experts claim that this bird is gifted with a form of built-in radar(雷达) that helps it find its own loft after hours of flight, for hidden under the head feathers are two very sensitive ears, while the sharp prominent (突出的) eyes can see great distances in daytime why do homing pigeons fly home? they are not unique in this inherent skill； it is found in most migratory birds（迁徙，候鸟）, in bees, ants, toads and even turtles, which have been known to travel hundreds of miles to return to their homesbut in the animal world, the homing pigeon alone can be trusted with its freedom and trained to carry out the missions that people demand 51what is the purpose of the passage? ato convince the reader to buy a homing pigeon bto inform the reader about homing pigeons and their training cto protect homing

paragraph? ato describe some unusual kinds of pets bto measure distances traveled by various animals cto compare their home-finding abilities with those of homing pigeons dto interest the reader in learning about other animals bto the american visitor iceland is a very interesting country, partly because it is different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home. there are quite a few things that are not done, or that do not exist on the islandquite a few “nots”.there is no pollution, for example. no dogs are permitted in reykjavik, the capital. there is no television on thursdays or during the entire month of july, and only three hours of black-and-white tv the rest of the time. there is no hard liquor on wednesdays and no beer at any time. there are no handguns; only one jail of 35 cells in the entire landan admirable figure, even for a small country of 222000 people.there is no army, air force or navy. there is no tipping for anything. there are no large stores open on saturdays and sundays. since iceland is located just under the arctic circle, there is no darkness in summer and no daylight in winter. but thanks to the gulf stream, the climate is rather mild, with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees fahrenheit to 52 degrees in july.the rules on television, liquor, and guns are the result of governmental decision but the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that iceland get its power from the enormous geysers 间歇（喷）泉 and the thousands of hot springs that come out of ground. they provide all the energy needed by the country. in fact, iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power.iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world. the icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature. they composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries ad. these works were poems and tales about the kings, heroes, and heroines of iceland and norway. at first the stories were memorized and passed from generation to generation. they were finally written down between 1140 and 1220. the icelanders have never stopped writing ever since. “rather shoeless than book-less,” they proudly say.55. the american visitor enjoys visiting iceland because _.a. no dogs are permitted in the capital b. the police do not carry handgunsc. the climate is rather mild d. it is very different from america56. the following statements are true except _.a. there are no soldiers in iceland b. the icelanders dont drink beerc. there is no service fee of any kind d. there are no crimes in iceland57. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. in winter the sun doesnt set in icelandb. the sun rises and sets regularly in icelandc. the climate in iceland is rather mild because there is no daylight in winterd. the sun never rises in winter and never sets in summer in iceland58. there is no pollution in iceland mainly because _.a. iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available powerb. the icelanders use hot water from under ground as their energyc. it is located just under the arctic circled. it is a democratic, independent country59. “rather shoeless than bookless” means _.a. they prefer not to have shoes or booksb. they would rather have shoes on than write booksc. they prefer shoes to booksd. they regard books more important than shoes ca branch of computer science called artificial intelligence uses programs that help solve problems by using human knowledge and experience. artificial intelligence systems are also called expert systems, which enable computers programmed with great amounts of information to think about many possibilities such as diseases that certain symptoms (症状) could indicate and make a decision for tile treatment.computers are used in teaching as well. programs that perform computer-aided instruction (cai计算机辅助教学) are designed to help students at all levels, from elementary school to the university level. the student sits at a computer terminal (终端). the terminals screen displays a question for the student to answer. if the answer is wrong or incomplete, tile computer may ask the student to try again. it then may supply the correct answer and an explanation. cai is also used in some adult education programs and as part of the employee training programs of some business companies.one of the most important uses of computers is to communicate information over long distances. they can send information to each other over telephone lines. as a result, computers keep banks, newspapers, and other institutions supplied with up-to the minute information. a computer network consists of many computers in separate rooms, buildings, cities, or countries, all connected together. computer networks allow people to communicate by using electronic mail a document typed into one computer and sent to an-other. suchdocument generally travel in only a few minutes, even if they are being sent over a long distance.the computers ability to share information with other computers over a network linked by telephone lines is a major revolution in telecommunications. the internet, an international network of computer networks, has spread out since the early 1990s. the internet began as a us network of scientific and military computers in the 1960s. now it is an international system for sending and receiving electronic mail, software, and electronic documents and picture files all over the world. the internet has already cut the cost of long-distance communications for many people. in the future it will completely change the way people work. with the internet, increasing numbers of people can work at home instead of in their office.computers and their programs are the most complex devices in human history, and probably the most useful. modern industrial societies now depend on them. as computers become more powerful and widespread, computer education must continue to increase also.60. from the first paragraph we get to know that artificial intelligence systems _.a. are beyond scientists control b. will take the place of doctorsc. will take the place of scientists d. are under scientists control61. if you use e-mail to communicate with your friends, you can_.a. exchange information without paper b. talk with your friends freelyc. talk with your friends face to face d. exchange information without computers62. the phrase “up-to-the-minute” in the third paragraph means _.a. shortest b. latest c. longest d. easiest63. what is the main idea of this text? _.a. computers are dangerous b. computers are cleverc. computers are useful d. computers are interesting dthere are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power (原子能).first, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. 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 its use, namely road or rail. unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or eve
