over time, the custom of kissing developed as a way for adults to express their love and affection for one another. the roots of this form of affection can be traced back to primitive times, when mothers fondled their children, much as mothers do today.much later, in the sixth century, society apparently accepted the custom of kissing between adults as an expression of their affection. not surprisingly, france first accepted kissing in courtship (求爱). there, figure dancing was popular, and each dance was sealed with a kiss.the custom of kissing swept from france through europe to russia, where russian nobility loved to imitate the french. eventually, the kiss was incorporated into marriage ceremonies, and today lip locks couples into sweet matrimony.the custom of kissing today, as well as in ancient times, serves to pay homage to another. early romans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another in a manner they thought to be dignified. one roman emperor even ranked a persons importance by the body part he was allowed to kiss. he allowed important nobles to kiss his lips, less important ones to kiss his hands, and the least important ones to kiss his feet.in russia, the highest sign of recognition from the crown meant a kiss from the tsar himself. today, natives of many african tribes pay homage to their chief by kissing the ground over which he has walked.56. whats mainly talked about in the passage?a. the way to express love and respect.b. the expression of affection.c. the custom of kissing. d. the function of kissing.57. which of the following can best explain the underlined word “homage” in the 4th paragraph？a. recognitionb. respect c. importanced. loyalty58 it can be learned from the passage that _.a. kissing is a widely accepted way to show love and affectionb. kissing used to be a proper way to show love on the wedding ceremonyc. kissing is a widely accepted way of greeting in the worldd. kissing from the tsar is only sign of being accepted from the crown59. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. it was france that made the custom of kissing go to the whole world.b. early africans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another.c. one roman emperor allowed important nobles to kiss his nose.d. russian nobility followed the custom of kissing from the french.60. we can infer from the passage that _.a. mothers created the custom of kissing b. kissing means differently on different occasions c. figure dancing was usually sealed with a kiss in russiad. society found it hard to accept kissing in public in the sixth centuryb statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. as your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil (零), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldnt do to make your journey safer when you are airborne (升空的).fly on non-stop routesmost accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.choose larger aircraft. w.w.w.c.o.m although small aircrafts have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply (遵守) with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefingthe information may seem repetitious (重复的), but its worth listening to the flight attendants. and even if youve flown before, it doesnt mean you know everything about the aircraft youre on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.store things safelynever put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. they may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence (气流).keep our seat belt fastened while you are seatedcabin crew always tell you this, but its important. you would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. the general rule of flying is this: if you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.let the flight attendant pour your hot drinksflight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them. 61. what is the overall reason for these air safety tips? a. what to do in the event of a crash. b. how to avoid turbulence.c. how to improve safety while you are flying. d. how to avoid injury.62. the underlined word those in the second tip refers to _. a. smaller planesb. passengers c. larger aircraft d. safety records63. the underlined phrase the general rule in the fifth tip refers to _. a. anything the flight staff tell you to do b. general safety advicec. walking around the plane d. pouring hot drinks64. which of the following is not true? a. larger planes have more safety checks and are safer in an accident.b. take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings.c. every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.d. seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence.65. the best title of the passage should be _. a. the safest way to travel b. air safety tipsc. non-stop routes d. how to fly a planecthe quality of drinking water in shanghai will meet european union standard by 2010 and, a decade later, citizens in shanghai will drink the best water in the world.these were the goals set out by the shanghai water authority. with the citys population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, chen yin, and official with the water authority, said shanghais water consumption will not increase from its present amount.zhang yue, director of the urban construction division under the ministry of construction, said, “shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. they will not be easy to achieve.”he said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of chinas economy.saving one cubic meter of water means saving the citys infrastructure（基础设施）costs by 10,000 yuan. last year, shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology. “the aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” chen said. “the abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”shanghai lacks drinkable water. the huangpu river, which supplies 80 percent of the citys drinkable water, is nearing exhaustion.the city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the yangtze river and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.besides penning regulations, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.at present, the city has 600，000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. these are to be renovated（整修）to use only 9 liters of water per flush.the authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households at a cost of 40 yuan each.in three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which saves the city nearly 15 million yuan every year in water conservation.another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage（污水）to improve the water environment.at present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water. to meet the total demand, 27 more sewage treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion yuan.66people in shanghai get their daily water mainly from now.athe undergroundbthe
