summerbthe easy way out isnt always the easiest. i learned that lesson when i decided to treat doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. i glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu that included homemade bread. knowing the bread would take time, i started on it as soon as doug left for work. as i was not experienced in cooking, i thought if a dozen were good, two dozen would be better, so i doubled everything. as doug loved oranges, i also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. soon there was a sticky dough(生面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks. realizing i had been defeated, i put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so i wouldnt have to face doug laughing at my work. i went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when doug got home, we sat down to cornish chicken with rice. he tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. the third time he left, i went to the window to see what he was doing. looking out, i saw doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holing the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. when i came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. i felt cold. but i stepped closer and looked harder. without doubt it was my work. the hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast(酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. it looked like some unknown being from outer space. i could see why doug was so shaken. i had to admit what the living thing was and why it was there. i dont know who was more embarrassed by the whole thingdoug or me.51. the writers purpose of writing this story is _.a. to tell an interesting experience b. to show the easiest way out of a difficultyc. to describe the trouble facing a newly married womand. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books52. why did the writers attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?a. the canned orange had gone bad. b. she didnt use the right kind of flour.c. the cookbook was hard to understand. d. she did not follow the directions closely.53. why did the writer put the dough in the rubbish bin?a. she didnt see the use of keeping it. b. she meant to joke with her husband.c. she didnt want her husband to see it. d. she hoped it would soon dry in the sun.54. what made the dough in the bin looks frightening?a. the rising and falling movement. b. its shape. c. the strange-looking marks. d. its size.55. when her husband went out the third time, the writer looked out of the window because she was _.a. surprised at his being interested in the bin b. afraid that he would discover her secretc. unhappy that he didnt enjoy the meal d. curious to know what disturbed himcwhich is safer staying at home, traveling to work on public transport, or working in the office? surprisingly, each of these carries the same risk, which is very low. however, what about flying compared to working in the chemical industry? unfortunately, the former is 65 times riskier than the latter! in fact the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than that of almost any of human activity, and almost as safe as staying at home. the trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby. it is this that makes chemical accidents so newsworthy. fortunately, they are extremely rare. the most famous ones happened at texas city (1947), flixborough (1974), seveso (1976), pemex (1984) and bhopal (1984). w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.msome of these are always in the minds of the people even though the loss of life was small. no one died at seveso, and only 28 workers at flixborough. the worst accident of all was bhopal, where up to 3,000 were killed. the texas city explosion of fertilizer killed 552. the pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the suburbs of mexico city took 542 lives, just a month before the unfortunate event at bhopal. some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular danger. thus the texas city was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in a great quantity. the flixborough fireball was the fault of managementproduction was going on during essential repairs. the seveso accident shows what happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstep. when the poisonous gas drifted over the town, local leaders were incapable of taking effective action. the pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded suburb. the fire set off a chain reaction of exploding storage tanks. yet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explode. had these caught fire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fighters would all have died. 56. which of the following statements is true? a. working at the office is safer than staying at home. b. travelling to work on public transport is safer than working in the office. c. staying at home is safer than working in the chemical industry. d. working in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air. 57. chemical accidents are usually important enough to be reported as news because_.a. they are very rare b. they often cause loss of lifec. they always occur in big cities d. they arouse the interest of all the readers58. according to the passage, the chemical accident that was caused by the fault of management happened in_.a. texas city b. flixborough c. seveso d. mexico city59. from the passage we know that the underlined words “ammonium nitrate” is a kind of _. a. natural gas, which can easily catch fire b. fertilizer, which cant be stored in a great quantity c. poisonous substance, which cant be used in overcrowded areas d. fuel, which is stored in large tanks 60. from the discussion among some experts we may conclude that _. a. to avoid any accident we should not repair the facilities in chemical industry b. he local authorities should not be concerned with the production of the chemical industry c. all these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effective measures had been taken d. natural gas stored in very large tanks is always safe deducation plays a very important role in everybodys life. we go to school because we want to know more about the world around us. the typical classroom used to be the place where teachers and students were working and exploring the wonderful world of knowledge together, but now everything has changed.the internet is one of those approaches. learning via the internet is a new style that seems to become successful than the traditional teaching. the internet provides schools with a large amount of learning material that is accessible to students online. owing to the choices of courses online, completing a program becomes much easier.we used to go to the library when we needed information and spend hours searching for the right sources. today there is a “library” in our house and it is available 24 hours a day. from my personal experience, being a first time mother, i find that using information online is very helpful. while i am at home with my baby, i can still search for the material i need and exchange thoughts and information with my classmates without leaving my house.the internet is not only a big information provider but also a money and time saver. people predict that education will be much cheaper in the future because of internet access to information. the cost of land, building and wages for teachers are continuously increasing. in addition, regular courses (offline) depend heavily on books and other paper-based materials, while online education posts lectures, and assignments electronically, which saves thousands of dollars every year.with no physical restrictions, the internet classes and courses are also very convenient. in classroom-based education there is a limitation on the number of students while internet education is available to everyone. students dont have to struggle in order to register for classes they like. students will have more choices to take their courses and classes online. the internet offers a wonderful opportunity to obtain knowledge in a more convenient and less expensive way. in my opinion, online life in the future is simply inescapable.61. which of the following statements is not true?a. the internet offers schools abundant learning materials.b. online learning changes the traditional learning way.c. the traditional classrooms become outdated because of the internet.d. online learning is seen to be more successful than traditional teaching.62. as a first time mother, the author_.a. stays at home alone b. keeps in touch with classmates
