The green matter in plants is given a scientific name: chlorophyll. When the sun shines upon plants, chlorophyll will produce some kind of special sugar-based substances that keep the plants alive. It has long been known that when exposed to sunlight under suitable conditions of temperature and moisture（湿度）, the green parts of plants absorb carbon dioxide（）from the atmosphere and release oxygen to it in return. These exchanges are just the opposite of those which take place in human and animals respiration（呼吸）. The course in which plants take in carbon dioxide（）and release oxygen（O）is called photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, carbohydrates（碳水化合物）are formed from carbon dioxide（）and water（）by the green matter（chlorophyll）of plant cells in the presence of sunlight. Oxygen is the product of this chemical reaction. For each molecule（分子）of carbon dioxide（）used, one molecule of oxygen is produced. Therefore, such a chemical equation（反应式）for photosynthesis can be summed up as the following: 61. In photosynthesis, the combination of carbon dioxide and water to form sugar results in the production of _. A. chlorophyll B. carbon C. hydrogen D. oxygen62. In photosynthesis, water _. A. must be present B. is produced in carbohydrates C. is stored as chemical energy D. is the only substance that keeps plants alive63. The thing that a person does in his respiration is _ photosynthesis. A. almost the same asB. rather similar to C. the opposite ofD. rather different from64. In the course of photosynthesis, _ is the prerequisite（先决条件）. A. water B. chlorophyll C. temperature and moisture D. sunlight65. The title that can best express the main idea of this passage is _. A. The Function（作用）of Chlorophyll B. The Course of Photosynthesis C. A Well-known Chemical Equation D. The Production of SugarKey:61. D62. A63. C64. D65. BB During the American War of Independence, women played an active part in fighting in three ways. First, women formed a special branch of the Continental Army, spoken of as“Women of the Army”, some women worked as nurses in the field hospitals, tending wounded soldiers; some worked as cooks in the army troops; a good many women acted as water carriers, when necessary, all the above-mentioned women who had had many chances to observe how the men fired guns, could take the place of the wounded men. The second way that women served in the Army was as regular troop members who wore mens uniforms and fought side by side with their men comrades. In theory, women were not supposed to fight as soldiers in battles. But when the Army was badly short of soldiers and when women were really good soldiers, who would be against women fighting in battles? Thirdly, from city streets to country villages, many able women were in charge of the work to supply food, clothing and medicine for the Army, and when the situation was dangerous, they called on all the women to take up arms to defend their own homes.66. What is the main idea expressed in this passage? A. Women played an important part in the field hospitals during the Revolutionary War. B. The Continental Army was successful in teaching women to fight as soldiers. C. The services of women on committees of safety were important in winning the war. D. Women were active in the struggle against Britain during the Revolutionary War.67. Women sometimes used guns in battles because _. A. they had noticed men fire guns and were therefore able to replace the wounded men B. many military（军事的）schools had trained them for fighting C. they had a better safety record than men for using weapons（武器） D. it was against the law for women to fire guns68. What is probably the main reason that women were permitted to fight in the war? A. Women were braver than men in battles. B. They were badly needed to make battle uniforms. C. Women of that time were particularly healthy and strong. D. The Army extremely needed soldiers to fight in battles.69. A field hospital is a hospital _. A. that is built in an open field B. that is on or near the front of battle and gives the wounded soldiers quick treatment C. where wounded soldiers are operated on D. which is set up in open farms70. This passage would most probably be assigned（布置）reading for a course in what subject? A. Nursing. B. History. C. Social Work. D. Labour studies.Key: 66. D67. A68. D69. B 70. BCThe man who brings my milk used to knock for his money for the weeks milk while I was eating breakfast on Saturday morning. Just lately he has been arriving before I get up. Workforce shortages mean that four men are sharing five rounds, so he has to start earlier. Delivering milk to peoples homes is hardly good business, especially when the customer may have a choice of two or three firms serving a single road. In spite of my local difficulties, however, labor troubles are not as great as a few years ago. There are enough men prepared to make an early morning start for the sake of an open-air job with a fair measure of freedom. If they did stop calling, women would find it hard work to collect all the milk they need from self-service stores. Dairies （乳品业） know that stopping deliveries in the United States resulted in falling sales.Marketing ideas have included introducing extra lines, in addition to dairy products, which the milkmen can carry to increase business. One dairyman said, “It wont be long before the milkman delivers more bread than milk.” Some milkmen deliver potatoes, and it seems as though variety will be limited only by the size of the trucks. So the milkman is likely to remain a familiar figure, and the dairy products he sells are unlikely to change very much in this decade. Flavored （味道） milk is popular on the Continent. In Britain those who like it buy plain milk and add their own flavoring. Even the returnable bottle continues to be used. As long as it has a reasonable life 30 to 40 trips are usual the cost of collection and cleaning is worthwhile. 71. The milkmen now start earlier on their delivery rounds than before because _.A. there is an increasing demand for milk deliveryB. they hope to reach the customers home in timeC. they have to collect the money for the weeks milk house to houseD. dairies are short of deliverymen and the companies worry about falling sales 72. Why are there enough men prepared to make an early morning start? A. Because they can enjoy a certain amount of freedom in the fresh air. B. Because they like working outdoors and breathe the air freely. C. Because they can enjoy a great amount of freedom outdoors. D. Because they like walking freely in the fresh air. 73. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. One of the marketing ideas is variety. B. the milkman now delivers more bread than milk. C. Milkmen have taken over many rounds given up by bakeries. D. Some milkmen deliver potatoes in addition to dairy products. 74. According to the passage, in this decade _.A. milkmen will disappear very soonB. flavored milk will become popular in Britain C. people will buy milk from self-service storesD. there will be little change in the dairy business 75. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. the British people seldom buy plain milkB. the returnable bottles are no longer used C. collection and cleaning of the returnable bottles cost nothing D. the returnable bottles wont be thrown away until they are used dozens of times Key: 71-75 DCBDDDHow can you find out what is going on inside a persons body without opening the patients body up? Regular X rays can show a lot. CAT scans（扫描仪）can show even more. They can give a complete view of body organs（器官）.What is a CAT scan? CAT stands for a kind of machine. It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patients body.Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body. X rays can find a foreign object inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed. A CAT scanner, however, uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional（横截面）view of a specific part of the body. A fine group of X rays is scanned across the body and around the patient from many different directions. A computer studies the information form each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen. This picture is then photographed for later use. Several cross sections, taken one after another, can give clear “photos” of the entire body or of any body organs. The newest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active, moving organs, just as a fast-action camera can “stop the action”, giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye. And because of the 360-degree pictures, CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.Frequent appearance before X rays can cause skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body. Yet CAT scans ac
