Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.56. The passage is mainly about _.A. color and its surprising effects. B. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindness D. color blindness57. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can _.A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow58. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer color-blind womenC. Women are fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.59. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true? A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color. B. None of them can see deep red. C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green. D. All of them see everything in shades of green.60. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a _. A. red light B. yellow light C. blue light D. green light From now on, never spendB There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day to work at Monks House. The floors in the house were very thin. The bathroom was directly above the kitchen, and when Mrs. Woolf was having her bath before breakfast, I could hear her talking to herself. On and on she went, talk, talk, talk, asking questions and giving herself the answers. I thought there must have been two or three people up there with her. Later Mr. Woolf explained that Mrs. Woolf always said out loud what she had written during the night. She needed to know if they sounded right and the bath was a good place for trying them out. I was not allowed to make coffee at Monks House Mr. and Mrs. Woolf came into the kitchen at eight oclock every morning to make it. When we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs. Woolfs room I noticed that there were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up she could work, and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep. Mrs. Woolfs bedroom was outside the house in the garden. I used to think how inconvenient it must be to have to go out in rain to go to bed. Her bedroom had been added to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window opened out onto a field. Because the writing-room was small, Mr. Woolf had had a larger one built for her at the end of the garden against the church wall. I can always remember her coming out of her writing-room only for lunch each day: she used to walk down through the garden smoking one of her favourite cigarettes. She was tall and thin and very graceful, with large, deep-set eyes. She wore long skirts in the fashion of the day, and silk jackets of the same colour, which suited her well. I pressed her clothes and did any sewing that was necessary. Her cigarettes were made from a special tobacco called My Mixture. Mr. Woolf bought it for her in London, and, in the evenings, they used to sit by the fire and make these cigarettes themselves.61. At the time of this passage, the writer might have been _.A. a friend of Mrs. Woolf B. the assistant of Mr. WoolfC. a reporter who was writing about Mrs. Woolfs life. D. the housekeeper at Monks House62. What was particularly unusual about Monks House?A. The floors were very thin. B. The bathroom was directly above the kitchen.C. Mrs. Woolfs bedroom was outside the house in the garden.D. The house was next to a church.63. What can we learn about Mrs. Woolfs writing habits from this passage?A. She wrote while having a bath in the morning.B. She often did a lot of writing at night.C. She worked in the garden so that she could smoke.D. She stayed in bed all day writing with pencils.64. What was Mr. Woolfs attitude towards his wife according to this passage?A. He lived a separate life from his wife.B. He found her strange and difficult to get along with.C. He helped with her writing although he didnt understand much.D. He tried his best to satisfy her needs.65. According to this passage, Mrs. Woolf _.A. spent most of her time on her own workB. didnt have a good taste of clothesC. didnt do any housework herselfD. was attractive but cold to othersCI like watching TV very much for I think it has many advantages. First of all, watching TV is a good rest. After a day of hard work, we need a good rest. Watching TV can make our mind and body not tired any more because of the pleasant music and TV plays.Besides, watching TV is entertaining. There are many kinds of entertainment, such as sports activities, singing and dancing concerts, plays and films all over the world at every time. Its not possible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the activities within a short time. We need at least over ten hours to drive from Queens District to Manhattan District. But within just one second, TV can bring us from an NBA game in New York to a fashion show in Paris by changing the channels.Most important, watching TV is educational. Our children can learn every kind of subjects through the educational programs and the special reports on TV, and its easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn Russian lessons from a Russian teacher in Moscow. Even we can learn how to behave well from the TV plays. Meanwhile, a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge classroom.66. The best title for the text is _.A. The advantages of watching TV B. TV brings good restC. Todays TV programs D. How to use TV in schools67. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The writer likes watching TV than others.B. There are different kinds of programs on TV in China and Russia.C. Its not easy to drive from Manhattan to Queens District.D. There are many kinds of entertainment programs on TV.68. According to the writer what is the most important reason for watching TV?A. We can enjoy ourselves. B. Watching TV is a good rest.C. We can see whatever we like. D. We can learn something useful.69. In the second paragraph, the writer wants to show _.A. TV stations send programs quicklyB. TV brings different parts of world in front of usC. How to go to different places and enjoy ourselvesD. How long it will take a man to drive to different places70. The writer writes the text to _.A. tell her ideas about TVB. persuade us to buy a TVC. introduce some TV programsD. tell us how to learn from TVDIt may be one of Britains most successful exports Miss World. This 53-year-old event took place in China last week and attracted over 120 women worldwide with knockout looks in a mad struggle for the crown.Traditional values have long kept the Chinese, especially women, from displaying beauty. But Chinese people have now changed their attitude toward beauty contest, although some men will still be shouting that the winner is no more beautiful than his wife or his former girl friend or even his mother in a sour tone. But such men are not shouting for the right reason. The question to be: Why isnt there a Mr. World Beauty Contest?And a further question to be asked is: Does taking part in a beauty contest show a womans courage, wisdom and liberation or rather the opposite a forced choice and a revolting act made under conditions of long-term discrimination?Organizers of such beauty contests claim that the contestants are judged on qualities other than just their physical appearance. But still no answer is given to why there isnt a Mr. Beauty or a Mr. World Contest? Or at least, why isnt that kind of contest popular? Why is it that only womens “qualities” need to be recognized but not mens?Think about who is always standing beside a fancy car on show? Is it a boy or a girl? And this is how “qualities” are judged: if the girl looks good, there is little reason why the car beside her i
