still there is a danger that grows every year. airliners get larger and larger. some airlines can carry over 300 passengers. and the air itself becomes more and more crowded. if one large airliner stuck into another in midair, 600 lives could be lost.from the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when on turn, when to climb, and when to come down. the air traffic controllers around a busy airport like london-heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. not all of them actually land at the airport. any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident.recently such a disaster almost happened. two large jets were flying towards the airport. one was carrying 69 passengers from toronto, the other 176 passengers from chicago. an air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. he ordered one to the right and to climb. but he made a mistake. he ordered the wrong plane to do this. so, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. fifteen seconds later, it flew directly in front of the second plane. they avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. the distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. this is an example of the danger that grows every day.56. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. traveling by air is as safe as by car. b. traveling by air is not as safe as by car.c. traveling by car is as dangerous as by air.d. traveling by car is more dangerous than by air.57. the air traffic controllers of an airport _.a. control all the planes flying near the airport.b. give orders to planes leaving the airport.c. only deal with the planes that want to land there.d. are allowed to handle 250 planes a day.58. the danger of the air crashes grows every year because _.a. airliners are getting larger and air traffic is becoming heavier.b. a pilot does not always hear a controllers order.c. a controller is likely to make more and more mistakes.d. airports can hardly serve the growing number of airplanes59. the example in the passage is to show that _.a. air traffic controllers are often careless.b. air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidents.c. it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidentsd. two planes should not fly too close to each other.bpop music is the name for different forms of popular, commercial(商业) music. it had its beginning in the usa and spread throughout the whole world during the 1950s and 1960s. it is widely liked by the young people. the best known early form of pop music was “rock n roll”; another was “blues”. a more recent development is “folk-rock”. pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world; it has caused the number of people for jazz to become much smaller than it was in the 1950s and earlier, and it has now begun to rule musical stage productions. its a big industry. much pop music is without artistic value, but the work of some pop singers, e.g. the beatles, bob dylan, the groups like floyd and crosby, stills and nash, is on a higher musical level. and there is still a great interest in it today. pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.60.all of the following forms belong to pop music except _.a. blues b. rock n roll c. jazz d. folk-rock61. according to the article, the number of people for jazz in the 1950s and earlier was _it is today. a. much greater than b. much smaller than c. as great as d. as small as62. which of the following is true? a. no pop music is on a high musical level. b. much pop music is very artistic. c. pop music is highly artistic. d. not all pop music is without artistic value.63. “it is a big industry” means that _. a. it makes a lot of musical instruments (乐器) b. it is a big musical and commercial business c. the pop singers are very hard-working d. pop music is on a very high musical level cthere are robots all around us. some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. and some do one simple job. when an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. the machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. it does this by “feedback”(反馈). information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. they tell us what is going on around us. so robots are like human beings in two ways.they work and they have feedback.in some ways robots are better than human beings. they work quickly and do not make mistakes. they do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. and they never get tired. so robots are very useful in factories. they can be taught to do many different jobs. first their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done. a person moves the robots “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.the most intelligent robots can move and see. their eyes are cameras. their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. these robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. the most intelligent robots-cave

rich, i would definitely be content with my life. my father always stressed me his belief in happiness. i can remember him lecturing me about how money does not make one happy and how other things in life such as health, family, friends, and memorable experience make a person genuinely happy. at that time in my life, i did not put any thought into his words as usual. at a young age, i noticed the media seemed to portray the wealthy as happy people that add value to our society. at high school, i still sought a career that would produce a high salary. after my second year of college, i started my first job in an accounting department, where i found myself extremely bored. every day i had to do boring work. in addition, i had to live away from friends and family. i noticed having money to spend when you are by yourself was not satisfying. i began to think back to what my dad always said. after two months on the job, i truly realized that a more satisfying experience for me would have been doing an ordinary part-time job for far less money. no matter how high the salary of this position was, i would never be capable of fulfilling a happy life and making a career out of this job. as the summer drew to a close, i truly understood the meaning of my dads words. the term “wealth” is a broad term, and i believe the key to happiness is to become wealthy in a great memories, friends, family, and health.68. when the author was a kid, _. a. he suffered a lot from being poor b. it worried him whether he could live happily c. he didnt treat his fathers advice seriously d. his attitude

lifelong career.71. through his experience, the author wanted to tell us that _. a. young people should listen to their parents. b. one should be careful in choosing his first job. c. money cannot always bring you real happiness. d. one can learn much by doing a part-time job. ewhen my friends went to college in great delight, i restarted my senior high school lifemy spirit sanksurrounded by strange classmates, i felt like i was in a maze and was sorry about myselfthere were some complex feelings in my mindi was frightened, nervous and lonelyto make matters worse, i recalled my failure
