Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Just before midnight, six University of Cincinnati students were watching TV in an on-campus apartment when three men burst through the door. While one of the intruders pointed a gun at the group, the other two scooped up $4,400 worth of laptops, cell phones, video games and cash. Once they had what they wanted, the trio fled into the night.Furious, the students chased down and tackled one of the burglars - the one with the gun. In the struggle, it went off, and a bullet grazed a students leg. His friends piled on the gunman and held him until police showed up. By the next day, the injured young man was back in his apartment, and the suspect was in jail, charged with burglary, felonious assault and receiving stolen property. But how did the men manage to storm into an on-campus residence that November night in the first place? Simple: Students told police the buildings main doors hadnt latched properly for days.As parents confront ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates, they are finding themselves with an even bigger, more basic problem: Which campuses are safe? Colleges seem like idyllic and secure places, and for the most part, they are. But ivy-covered walls cant keep out every bad element. This countrys 6,000 colleges and universities report some 40,000 burglaries, 3,700 forcible sex offenses, 7,000 aggravated assaults and 48 murders a year. Other hazards - fires, binge-drinking, mental-health problems - are also on the rise.Of course, thats not what parents and students see on Americas serene campuses. Theres a false sense of security, says Harry Nolan, a safety consultant in New York City. Students see guards patrolling at night or a video camera monitoring the dorm entrance and think, Nothing bad can happen to me, he explains. People dont know that safety controls are often very lax.65. What did the students do after the burglars fled into the night?A. They stood there in surprise.B. They ran after the burglars at once.C. They waited for the police.D. They phoned their teacher.66. What does the underlined word “latched” in the third paragraph probably mean?A. watchedB. fixedC. lockedD. kept67. What worries parents most except ballooning college costs and shrinking acceptance rates?A. Their childrens grades in the universities or colleges.B. Their childrens safety in the universities or colleges.C. Their childrens behavior in the universities or colleges.D. Their childrens relationship with classmates in the universities or colleges. (B)The Channel is the name given to the stretch of water which separates England and France. Ferries operate all year round to carry people across the Channel, and they are busy most of the year. January is the only quiet month nowadays. As well as summer holiday-makers, there are day trippers and coach traffic, not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles. Some ferries carry cars and their passengers, while others also connect train passengers with the Continental rail network.The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind. The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day. Or they sometimes get gale warnings from local radio station.Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon, according to one ferryboat captain. The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic. This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe. There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time, and they all pass through a “choke point” which is only fifteen miles (twenty-five kilometers) wide. The cross-channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic.68. The passage is mainly concerned with _.A. the English ChannelB. the weather on the ChannelC. cross-channel ferriesD. what crossing the Channel by ferry is like69. The word hazard is closest in meaning to _.A. troubleB. dangerC. enemyD. problem70. We can infer from the passage that _.A. if there is a gale warning from the BBC, the ferries will stop operating.B. the traffic on the Channel is very busy only in winterC. ferries are busiest in the afternoonD. the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day71. Where does this passage most probably appear?A. In a dictionary.B. In a novel.C. In a transportation magazine.D. In a geography textbook. (C)A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. Jet lag interferes with a persons normal times for sleeping and waking. People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days. They also may have problems thinking clearly and remembering.Kwangwook Cho is a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain. He reported the findings of his jet lag study in the publication Nature Neuroscience.The study involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines. The women had served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas.Mister Cho took some fluid from the womens mouths to measure levels of a hormone that increases during stress. He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen. And he took pictures of their brains using magnetic resonance imaging. This is a way to measure the size of the brains temporal lobes（颞叶）.It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones.Mister Cho says he believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory.Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain. They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory.72. According to the text, jet lag _.A. can cause difficulties in speakingB. can make people feel tired for a few weeksC. is the illness only found in people who work on the airplanesD. can be caused by flying over several time zones in an airplane73. It is inferred that more
