in fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the earth. the dinosaurs were on the earth for over 160 million years. then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. many scientists believe that the earth was hit by a space fragment. the dinosaurs couldnt survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. will we meet the same end?55.which of the following is not true according to the authors description of the disaster in 2094?a. the whole world becomes extremely coldb. all the coastal cities in africa are destroyedc. the visit of the comet results in wars d. the whole mankind becomes extinct56.why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?a. because they could only live in the warm climateb. because their extinction indicates future disastersc. because they once dominated the earthd. because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age57.in writing the passage, the author intends to _.a. give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the futureb. prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyedc. warn of a possible disaster in the futured. tell the historical development of the earth58.it can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n) _.a. article of popular scienceb. news report c. research paper d. horror storybcsometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. for example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfaces. one way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. but why go to all that trouble when cities are rub of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt （柏油） roads?ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of arian de bondt, a dutch engineer. he finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. the result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.the heat-colleetor is a system of connected water pipes. most of them ran from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. some, however, dive deep into the ground.when the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. at a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer （蓄水层） into which several heat exchangers （交换器） have been built. the hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warning the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. the aquifer is thus used as a heat store.in winter, the working system is changed slightly. water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. this water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. after performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.64. which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?a. arian de bondt got his idea from his boss.b. large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.c. the dutch engineers system has been widely used.d. heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.65. for what purpose are the diving pipes used?a. to absorb heat from the sun.b. to store heat for future use.c. to turn solar energy into heat energy.d. to carry heat down below the surface.66. from the last paragraph we can learn that _a. some pipes have to be re-arranged in winterb. the system can do more than warming up the b
