D.E）中，选出最佳选项。 AMost Americans dont like to get advice from members of their family. When they need advice, they dont usually ask people they know. Instead, many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which advice give on many subjects, including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, how to buy a house or a car, and so on.Most newspapers regularly print letters from readers with problems. Along with the letters are answers written by people who are supposed to solve (解决) such problems. Some of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice are women without special training for this kind of work. One of them answers letters addressed to “Dear Abby”. The other is addressed as “Dear Ann Landers”. Experience is their preparation for giving advice.There is one writer who has not lived long enough to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Caveliere, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her advice to young readers, now appears regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin in a column called DEAR ANGEL.56、For advice Americans usually write to _.A、their family members B、there friendsC、Angel Caveliere D、newspapers or magazines57、“Abby ”and “Ann Landers” are probably_.A、real names of two women B、two experienced doctorsC、two famous lawyers D、pen names of women58、Which of the following is likely true according to the passage?A、Angel Caveliere is loved by many American young readersB、Angel died youngC、Angel has much more experience than the other writers with special trainingD、Angel is famous for her good knowledge of all the subjects59、The Philadelphia Bulletin seems to be_.

A、Two Famous Women Writer B、Angel Caveliere and Her AdviceC、Getting Advice from Strangers D、The Strange Americans BPlants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.61 The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.A. plants are important for life B. plants cannot grow without airC. there are many plants in the world D. we can not live without water62 Plants can make food from_.A. flower, water and air B. water, sunlight and airC. air, water and soil D. air, sun and light63 What can we infer(推断) from the passage ?A. Of all living things animals are most important B. Spores are seeds C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds D. Without plants, man will die out 64 This passage may be taken from_.A. a medicine book B. a novel C. a science magazine D. an experiment report65 The underlined word “protected” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _. A. damaged B. polluted C. prevented D. guardedCMrs. Blake teaches English in a large school in the inner area of a big city on the west of coast. Even since she was a young girl, she has wanted to become a teacher. She has taught eight years now and hasnt changed her mind.After she graduated from high school, she went on to college. Four years later, she received her bachelors degree (B A) in English and her teaching certificate（证书）. Then she went to teach in the secondary schools of her state. In the summers, Mrs. Blake takes more classes; she hopes to get a masters degree (M A). With an MA, she will receive a higher salary and if possible, she hopes to get a doctors degree as well.The school day at Mrs. Blakes high school, like that in many high schools in the United States, is divided into one hour each. Mrs. Blake must teach five of these periods. During her free period, which for her is from 2 to 3 P.M. , Mrs. Blake must meet with parents, make out examinations, check assignments at all, Mrs. Blake works continuously from the time she arrives at school in the morning till the time she leaves for home late in the afternoon.66 How long is it since Mrs. Blake graduated from middle school?A. four years B. eight years C. twelve years d. twenty years67 According to the article, which is the right order of the degrees a person can receive after going to university?A. a doctors degree a bachelors degree a masters degreeB. a bachelors degree a masters degree a doctors degreeC. a masters degreea bachelors degree a doctors degreeD. a bachelors degree a doctors degreea masters degree68 How many degrees has Mrs. Blake achieved so far? A. One B. two C. three D. none69 Which of the following sentences is not true?A. Mrs. Blake teaches in the inner area of big city on the east of the United SatesB. Mrs. Blake has turned her wish of becoming a teacher into reality.C. Mrs. Blake is still studying in her holidays in order to get higher degrees.D. The working hours in the school where Mrs. Blake works are similar to those of many other high schools in the states.70 According to that third paragraph, Mrs. Blake is _ during the school day.A. lonely B. free C. funny D. busy D To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. Its hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the channel takes only twenty minutes as long as youre not held up at the airport, but its an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft (气垫船)if you dont mind the noise and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise, you can go by boat, if you remember your sea-sickness pills. All these means of transport have their problems, and the weary(厌烦的)traveler often dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car. “Not possible, you say. Well, wait a minute. People are once again considering the idea of a channel tunnel or bridge.” This time, the great London Council(议会)is looking into the possibility of building a channel link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to by rail or by car on a bridge, yet a tunnel would provide a rail link only.Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain realizing the need for links with Europe as a result of joining EEC? Well, perhaps, the main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of Londons discussed dockland(船坞). A link from London to the continent would stimulate(刺激) trade and revitalize(使重新具有活力)the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they are still warm! 71. From the lines we can see that people crossed the Channel by _ in the past. A. air B. boat C. swimming D. A, B, or C72. The weary traveler thinks the best way to cross the Channel is _.A. by swimming B. in his own car C. by air D. by hovercraf
