but she wanted to look like a movie star. “i have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she says. “i used to wear them to watch tv.” early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. the lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “klieg eyes”. it was named after the klieg brothers who invented the lights. actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. but when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must. eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. audrey hephburn wore ultra-cool ray-ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, breakfast at tiffanys. as a result, ray-ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. in 1979, ray-ban “wayfarers” were worn by jake and elwood in the blue brothers. tom cruise wore ray-ban “aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, top gun. then in 1997, will smith and tommy lee jones made ray-ban “predator” sunglasses famous in men in black. of course sunglasses arent just a fashion statement. the main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against uv radiation. uv radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. but you dont have to give up style for safety. the choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge. so you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.56.what is mainly discussed in this passage? a. the use of sunglasses. b. the history of sunglasses. c. the sunglasses wearing. d. why movie stars like to wear sunglasses.57.why did geena david like to wear sunglasses? a. she was a movie star. b. she wanted to follow a movie star. c.

his father into the white house since john quiney adams followed john adams in the early 19th century. bush was born on july 6, 1946, in new haven, connecticut, the first child of george herbert walker bush and barbara pierce bush. although george herbert walker bush began his career in the oil industry, he finally served as a congressman(国会议员), and vice(副) president and president of the united states.at the age of two,bush moved with his parents from connecticut to odessa, texas, where his father took up the oil business. after a year in texas, the family moved to california for business reasons. a year later, the family returned to texas and settled in midland, where bush lived from 1950 to 1959.in 1959, again for business reasons, the family moved to houston, texas. in 1961 bush left texas and went to andover, massachusetts, to attend phillips academy, aboarding school(寄宿学校) that his father had also attended.at phillips, bush played basketball, baseball, and football. he was best known for being head cheerleader. in 1964 he enrolled at yale university in connecticut.his father and grandfather had also attended yale. at yale, bush was considered an average student, but he was popular with his classmates.bush graduated from yale with a bachelors degree in history in 1968. then he joined the air national guard and remained in the guard until 1973. after earning his mba from harvard in 1975, bush returned to midland. like his father, he first entered the oil industry as a “landsman(新手)”. however, bushs oil companies never enjoyed great success. he took more interest in politics. he helped his father to become president and in 1994 he himself was elected governor of texas.in the summer of 1999, bush began to run for the president of the usa and on january 20, 2001, george w. bush, hand raised, took the oath(宣誓) of office to become the 43rd president of the us.61.what does the writer intend to tell us in the first paragraph? a. george w. bush is the

an american state before he entered the white house.d. he once served at the air national guard for about five years.cin 1752, three years after two scotsmen, alexander wilson and thomas melville, fastened thermometers to kites to record the temperature of clouds, benjamin franklin made his famous experiment with a kite, a string, and a key. franklin hoped to show that natures tremendous displays of electricity in lightning were the same thing as the feeble electric sparks scientists of the day were producing in their laboratories. he built a square kite to which he attached an iron wire. he flew the kite with a hemp string(麻线), and near the base of the string he tied a large brass key. the kite rose into a dark thundercloud, where the iron wire picked up electrical charges. franklin noticed that the strands of the string(绳串) were beginning to stand up with electricity. as rain wet the string, it conducted more electricity. standing in the shelter of a shed, franklin cautiously reached out his finger to touch the brass key. a series of sparks jumped from the key to his finger. he thus proved that lightning and electricity are the same. we now know that this experiment was a dangerous one, for franklin might have been killed by a bolt of lighting. 64. the best title for this passage is _.a. the discover of electricityb. the kite and sciencec. franklins experiment with lightningd. franklin, a great scientist 65. according to the passage, benjamin franklin _.a. recorded the temperature of cloudsb. was killed by a bolt of lightningc. proved that lightning can be controlled by mand. proved that lightning and electricity have the same essential nature 66. two scotsmen experimented with kites in _.a. 1752b. 1746c. 1755d. 1749 67. franklin did not use a _.a. stringb. wirec. keyd. thermometer 68. the fact that franklin was not injured was apparently due to _.a. luckb. wisdomc. the materialsd. the sheds protectiondevery living cell contains genes. they are too small to be seen in a microscope, but they are very important. each set of genes in the body contains all the instructions needed to make a human being. some genes determine hair color. some determine the shape of a nose. some genes help determine your height and even your weight. genes are made of a chemical called dna-the letters stand for deoxyribonucleic acid(脱氧核糖核酸). in the early 1950s, two scientists, francis crick and james watson, figured out how the parts of dna fit together. once scientists understood this structure, it became possible to take pieces of dna apart and put them together in new ways. new kinds of genes could be made in this manner. scientists have studied the genes of many plants and animals. they have worked out which genes affect the color of a tomato and the thickness of its skin. working out which genes determine which features is called genetic mapping, scientists have begun the human genome project, an ambitious effort to map all the genes in the human body. some genes may be defective(有缺陷的). for example, something might be wrong with the gene that makes blood clot(凝聚). a baby born with this defective gene could suffer serious hemorrhages(出血) or even bleed to death because his or her blood fails to clot. if scientists ever learn how to map all the genes in our bodies, they can determine whether or not an unborn child has any defective genes. they might even discover how to treat these genes before the child is born. 69. what was the achievement of francis crick and james watson? a. they discovered why people have different hair colors. b. they learned that some people bleed for long periods of time. c. they looked at human cells under the microscope. d. they worked out the structure of dna. 70. what is the main idea of this passage? a. defective genes can never be repaired. b. genes are too small to be seen through a microscope. c. genes help scientists understand how living things develop their characteristics. d. the human genome project may explain the role of every gene in the body.eeinstein was born in 1879 in germany. as a child, he was slow to learn to talk.as a pupil, he was backward. but when he was fourteen years old, he became clever. he taught himself maths from textbooks. he studied hard because he wanted to be a physicist. in 1901,einstein began teaching. in 1902 he continued his studies at the university of zurich.several years later, he formulated(系统地阐述)his famous theory of relativ
