Our route soon led to the countryside, and the 42 turned from the town to wide-open wheat fields. The golden-brown heads of grain were bent, 43 the harvest was about to begin. As we continued, we began to see grasslands filled with cattle. The young calves 44 watched us ride by as they gathered near their mothers. 45 , the grasslands become hillier, and we entered the Flint Hills. Small rocks 46 out of the short, green grass throughout the grassland. The road ahead changed, too, as we went. The muscles in my legs started to 47 as I slowed down to make it up hills. Each bend seemed a greater 48 than the last, but the hard work 49 paid off when I sped down the backside of the bend. The cool wind strongly pushed my shirt 50 me as I hit 30 miles per hour. The scene was a shadow from the 51 of my eye as I focused on the road. I was at the bottom in a short time it took me to get up the bend. At the 52 of the next hill, I saw a water tower in the distance. A sudden burst of energy shot through my body. I knew our 53 point for the day was only a few miles away.

Now, an art show called “Doctor Strong From Then to Now” is travelling around the United States. The pictures and drawings show the history of Doctor Strong.Doctor Strong first became famous almost fifty years ago when his first childrens book was published. Since then, he has written forty-five books that have sold more than one hundred million copies around the world.Doctor Strongs books are known for their easy use of words and colorful, hand-drawn pictures. These drawings bring life to his imaginary creatures. The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and hundreds of others.The San Diego Museum, in California, organized the art show. It included about three hundred Doctor Strongs original(最早的) drawings and some of his writings.Most of Doctor Strongs books, although written in a funny way, have serious messages. For example, in Mc Elligots Pool, he describes the danger of pollution. He discusses the arms race（军备竞赛） in The Butter Battle Book, written in nineteen eighty-four.Doctor Strong is almost eighty-four years old now. He says he never planned to write stories just for children. He says he writes stories that interest people of all ages. He says he uses easy words so that everyone, even a child, can understand. 56. Doctor Strong first became famous in _.A. his eighties when an art show was travelling around the United StatesB. his fifties when his drawings and writings were publishedC. nineteen eighty-four when his book MeEligots Pool was publishedD. his thirties when his first book was published 57. Doctor Strongs books are very popular in America because _.A. they are stories about animals such as cats, elephants and so onB. they are written in easy words with colourful picturesC. he organized the art show in California D. they are written in a funny way58. His purpose in writing many such books is _. A. to show his original pictures and drawings B. to organize a special art show of his ownC. to make his readers laugh or smile when they read his booksD. to interest people as well as tell the truth about social problems BIts long been known that dogs and cats, with their well developed sense of smell, can be trained to identify the chemicals released by human illnesses. In some cases, researchers have even trained household pets to detector predictepilepsy（癫痫病）. But what if we could fine set that sense and put it into a microchip, allowing us to create a breathalyzer for diseases?For Dr. Andrew Koehl, the inventor of the microchip technology at the heart of this digital nose, the technology that will allow us to do just that is already here. “We can detect down to parts per billion levels,” Koehl says. “To give you a similarity thats equal to one drop in an Olympic size swimming pool.” The sensor identifies each chemicals make-up in the air. If the sensor is set to a certain level, it will set off an alarm.Work continues to make it smaller and makes it able to enter the healthcare market. Within several years, the company hopes to develop it as a diagnostic（诊断） tool. “Whats amazing is that there really are chemicals on your breath that indicate illness, thats been shown through a number of studies and we can detect those,” he said. “There have already been a number of research papers published suggesting we can detect many disease.” At the beginning, the technology had been developed for defense purposes. He said the terror caused by the events of September 11 had got him thinking about the application of this type of sensor in safety check. “Originally it was aimed at detecting things like explosives, poisonous chemicals and other terrors that might occur,” said Dr Koehl.Eventually the sensor could become a part of many everyday instruments, warning users of which foods are going bad in the fridge or even the best moment to take the roast out of the microwave oven.You could even, one day, have a digital nose that you could carry in your pocket. “More recently weve been looking at user spaces so were talking to a number of producers of mobile phones and mobile phone parts,” he said. “We want to develop a module small enough to put into mobile devices like phones.”59. It can be inferred from the passage that_. A. This type of sensor was designed to prevent disease at first B. The digital nose can be put into mobile phones at present C. Users might take the mobile devices with them in near future D. The new invention has already entered the healthcare market60. The underlined word “ detect”（Paragraph1）is closest in meaning to_.

Modern technology is developing very fast. D. Digital nose on a microchip can smell diseases.CArchaeologists（考古学家） studying Stonehenge and its surrounding area say theyve dug up the relics of an untouched,ancient campsite that dates back to 6,000 years-a find that could rewrite British prehistory.“This is themost important discovery at Stonehenge in over 60 years,” Professor Tim Darvill, a Bournemouth University archaeologist and a Stonehenge expert who did not take part in the new discovery, told the Telegraph. And as he told The Huffington Post in an email, the discovery changes earlier theories that Stonehenge was built in a landscape that was not heavily used before about 3000 B.C.The discovery was made during a dig at Blick Mead, a site about 1.5 miles from Stonehenge. Researchers foundcharcoal（木炭） dating back to 4,000 B.C.and evidence of possible buildings, according to a statement released by the university. They also dug up burnt stone and tools, as well as the remains of animals-ancient cattle that served as food for ancient hunter-gatherers.The researchers plan further analysis on the artificial objects but say theyre worried the tunnel construction （隧道建设）could damage the site and get in the way of their work.“Blick Mead could explain what archaeologists have been searching for centuries-an answer to the story of Stonehenges past,” David Jacques, the University of Buckingham archaeologist who discovered the campsite, told The Guardian. “But our only chance to find out about the earliest part of Britains history could be ruined if the tunnel goes ahead.”Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument made up of a ring of standing stones, lies eight miles north of Salisbury, England in Wiltshire. It has been listed as aWorld Heritage Sitesince 1986.62. The main purpose of the passage is _ A. to introduce a recent discovery of ancient relics B. to call on people to protect the ancient relics C. to warn the researchers not to do further analysis D. to attract more tourists to visit Stonehenge63. We can learn from the passage that_. A. the researchers express their concern that the relics might be ruinedB. the ancient campsite has been destroyed by the construction workersC. archaeologists are repairing artificial objects founded in the relic siteD. the tunnel construction rewrites the earliest part of Britains history64. In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage? A. Travel.B. Business.C. Lifestyle.D. Culture.65. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Stonehenge Is In Danger of Being Destroyed Because Of the Find. B. New Stonehenge Discovery Described As Most Important In 60 years. C. A New Tunnel Is Being Constructed Under Stonehenge. D. Stonehenge Has Been Listed as aWorld Heritage Site Since 1986.DEarlier this month, blogger Lisa Henderson announced thatshe and her husband John had decided not to have Christmas. The family, who lives in Utah, will still put up decorations, but presents from Santa are a no-go this year.“John and I feel like we are fighting a very hard uphill battle with our kids when it comes to their rights,” Henderson wrote on her blog. “It is one of the biggest struggles as a parent these days in middle class America. Our kids have been acting so ungrateful lately. . John said, “We shouldnt just celebrate Christmas. And, so thats what we did.”Instead, the Hendersons are putting the money they would have spent on gifts toward service projects in order to teach their three sons the “pleasure of giving.” The children will still receive gifts from grandparents and other family members, but this year, she said, their letters to Santa will be asking him to find someone who needs presents more than they do.In an interview with ABC News,11-year-old Caleb Henderson admitted that he and his brothers had been behaving badly. “We would hit each other, we were fighting. Crying,” he admitted, and Lisa said that when she broke the news to her sons, they cried pretty hard.But so far, Henderson told Fox News last week, the family ishaving a sudden turning this into a different kind of gift. They have already held a clothing drive and sent boxes of clothes and candy to a village in the Philippines that was hit hard last year by Typhoon Haiyan.“The children were excited and kept wanting to give more and more,” she reported on her blog.Many readers responded positively to Hendersons post, some sharing their own stories of limiting Christmas in order to teach their children to be charitable（仁慈的）or grateful. “As parents youre giving your kids something so much more special than a bunch of gifts on Christmas,” one wrote.But Henderson received negative follow-ups as well on he
