There are serious （严肃的）papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroadThere are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment(娱乐) to information The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the TimesIt began in 1785, and has a high reputation (名声) for believable news and serious opinions on the news It calls itself an independent （独立的）paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaperThese parts of the Times are always interestingMost of the letters are serious subjectsBut from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion (时装) of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with the manners of thirty years ago46If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself A. a serious newspaper Ba foreign newspaper C. any independent paper Da popular newspaper47The Times is an independent paper because Ait gives special support to all the political parties Bit supports no political parties Cthe editors opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper Dit is not controlled by the British Government48The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “” Aimprove Bcompete with each other Care different Dkeep in touch with each other49Which of the following is NOT true? AThe subjects of the letters to the editors are serious at all times BThe amusing parts of the paper are letters to the editors CThe manners of the young people thirty years ago were often polite DSometimes pieces of writing on the latest fashion in clothes can satisfy your interest.B In earliest times, men considered lightning （闪电）to be one of the great mysteries（神密） of nature Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons(武器) of the gods In reality lightning is a flow of electricity （电流）formed high above the earth A single flash（闪烁） of lightning 1.6 kilometers long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752 In the same year he also built the first Lightning Rod (避雷针) His device（发明物） protects buildings from being damaged by lightning Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning contains more than 15 million volts(伏特) A spark（火花） between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per secondScientists estimate (估计) that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year Lightning hits the Empire, State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under trees Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things With lightning, its better to be safe than sorry.50Lightning is actually Aweapon Belectricity Clight Dmystery51People once thought that lightning came from Ascientists Bground Clightning rod Dgods52Benjamin Franklin A. made the first lightning rod Bbuilt the Empire State Building C. invented electricity Dprevented lightning from hitting cars53is the best place to be in during an electricity storm ASwimming pool B. A high place CUnder a tree DA carCFor years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earths natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse. Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants (污染物) can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution. People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is said that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases. As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building- green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plants leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square metres of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place. 54. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _. A. every modern house B. every old house C. all kinds of houses D. all kinds of offices 55. The indoor air pollution is caused by _. A.the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside B.the building way that the builders want to save energy C.the building things that are made of man-made materials D.the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow 56. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that _. A.plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoors B.plants may take in more oxygen which people need C.plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicals D.plants can make our houses prettier D Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners（小餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons. A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasnt a real diner. It was only a food cart(手推车). People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate. Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent(永久的) buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner. Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonalds and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.57.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. Why is the word “diner” in quotation marks(引号)？A.

American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customers.D. Diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many ways.E Laptop(便携式) computers are popular all of the world. People use them on trains, airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork at anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the more important of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without doing to computer lab. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees- anywhere at all.Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptops use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar t
