3,000 small ones stretch from north to south for about 1,300 miles. as for the climate of the country, well, its hot and humid(潮湿) in summer, but it is quite cold and wet in japan during winter. typhoons, which are violent tropical storms, often threaten japan during the fall. thats, of course, during the harvest season.the population of japan is about 110,5 million. it may seem hard to believe, but the average population density(密度) of the country is about 678 persons per square mile.about two thirds of the entire population lives in japans cities. the other one third lives in the suburbs or in the countryside. no other country in southern or eastern asia has such a large urban, or city population. tokyo, the capital city of japan, is the most density-populated city in the world. at last count there were more than 11.5 million people living in tokyo.52. why is japan called an island country? because _.a. japan is a small countryb. it is on the pacific oceanc. it has thousands of big and small islandsd. japan has hundreds of small islands53. typhoons often attack japan during_. a. spring b. summer c. autumn d. winter54. most of the people in japan live_. a. in the rural areas b. in the countryside c. around the cities d. in the cities55. the most densely-populated city in the world is_. a. new york b. shanghai c. london d. the capital of japan blets say a person gets up at 7:00 in the morning and goes to bed at 11:00 at night. he comes home from work about 6:30, and by the time he has finished with dinner it is after 8:00. he steps outside in the summer to relax but its already getting dark! not much time to enjoy the summer day.now suppose you set the clock ahead one hour. this person still does everything at the same time but this time, when he steps out at 8:00 theres still plenty of light to enjoy. an hour of daylight has been “saved” for him!daylight saving time doesnt, of course, add any hours to a day. this is impossible. all it does is to increase the number of useful hours of daylight during the seasons when the sun rises early.daylight saving is most popular in cities. it allows the closing of offices, shops, and factories at the end of the working day while the sun is still high. farmers, who do their work by sun time, usually do not observe daylight saving time. they cannot work in the field before the morning dew(露水) has dried or after it appears in the evening.did you know who first thought of daylight saving time? it was benjamin franklin! when he was living in france in the 18th century, he suggested the idea to the people in paris. but it was not adopted then.daylight saving laws were first passed during world war, when materials for making electricity was hard to find, and when it was necessary to save on artificial light. with daylight saving, the bedtime of many people comes soon after it gets dark, while without it, if people stay up until the same hour they may have to use artificial light.germany was the first country to adopt daylight saving time in 1915. then england used it in 1916, and the united states adopted it in 1918.56. what does the underlined word “artificial” mean?a. naturalb. man-madec. brightd. sun57. whats the purpose of adopting daylight saving time?a. to have more artificial light.b. to have one more hour to work.c. to make better use of daylight in certain seasons.d. to have one more hour to rest.58. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. once the idea of daylight saving time is proposed, it was adopted.b. the idea of daylight saving time went through a long process of being adopted.c. it was a french scientist that put forward the idea of daylight saving time.d. the idea of daylight saving time didnt make any difference at all.59. what can be inferred from the passage?a. winter is a good season for daylight saving time.b. daylight saving time is especially good for wars.c. daylight saving time is good for anyone in any places.d. not all seasons are good for daylight saving time.cthe role of a newspaper is to present and comment on the news. it is vital for keeping people well-informed on current affairs. in most western countries, journalists try to shape the ideas and opinions of their readers, since in western countries all newspapers are independent of the government. some newspaper owners support liberal ideas including economic policies that help poor people. other owners want policies such as lower taxes for rich people and less money to be given to poor people. you can almost judge the political ideas of a person in the west by looking at the newspaper he reads. all newspapers report national and international news. they give the facts but also provide opinions on controversial issues in the editorials and columns of opinion. the readers of the newspaper can also comment on these editorials or articles. there are many informative articles too as well as reviews of new films and books, etc. these are very important, for if a film or book gets good reviews it will often become more successful. all these articles require many journalists who are experts in different areas of life. all these articles come together and are checked by the chief editor of the newspaper. when he or she has made a decision on the articles, the newspaper is prepared for printing. all this work means that the journalists must work together as a team because there is a lot of pressure when you work in a newspaper office. there are constant deadlines and articles have to be fitted round advertisements, photographs and much, much more.60. what articles comment on controversial issues?a. editorials and opinion columns.b. news stories.c. some of the informative articles.d. jokes and humor.61. which is true about the journalists in western countries?a. theres no time limit for their report articles.b. they have no right to influence the readers opinions.c. a newspaper can come out with just a journalist working individually.d. journalists must submit their articles before the due date.62. why are good reviews important to books?a. good reviews are excellent introduction to books.b. readers especially favor books with good reviews.c. good reviews can make readers feel relaxed and comfortable.d. good reviews can bring a large circulation of the books reviewed.63. which of the following sentences best fits at the end of the last paragraph?a. the number of people needed to produce a newspaper varies greatly.b. the staff of a daily newspaper is headed by a publisher.c. the articles printed in the newspaper should cover national and international affairs.d. the entire staff must operate as a well-drilled team if the papers are to reach homes and news-stands on schedule.dit is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. more often the doctors cant fix the damage. sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. the doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain. dr. robert white, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. he thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. if it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. this gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain. dr. white tried his idea on 13 monkeys. first he taught them to do different jobs, and then he operated on them. he made the monkeys blood go through a machine. the machine cooled the blood. then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys brains. when the brains temperature was 10c, dr. white stopped the blood to the brain. after 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. he warmed the blood again. after their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. they were healthy and busy. each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them. 64. the biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _. a. the time is too short for doctors b. the patients are often too nervousc. the damage is extremely hard to fix d. the blood cooling machine might break down65. the brain operation was made possible mainly by _. a. taking the blood out of the brain b. trying the operation on monkeys first c. having the blood go through a machine d. lowering the brains temperature66. with dr. whites new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _. a. can last as long as 30 minutes b. can keep the brains blood warm c. can keep the patients brain healthy d. can help monkeys do different jobs第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。for over one hundred and fifty years, americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans 67 whether they are
