Few Londoners would have agreed with his statement at the time, when the city was choked by the smog of the Industrial Revolution, but no one argues with the beauty of the colorful skies he began painting there between 1899 and 1901. Pollution has never looked quite as attractive as when seen through Monets eyes. Now there is evidence that Monets images of London were not only Impressionist creations, but a result of highly exact observation. According to a paper published by two environmental scientists, the paintings may “provide useful information in the analysis (分析) of the London fogs and air quality during this period” a period before pollution levels were regularly recorded. In their study, Jacob Baker and John E. Thomas of the University of Birmingham analyzed the position of the sun in 9 of the 19 paintings in Monets “House of Parliament” series. There was “a perfect correlation”. Thomas says, between the solar positions in the images, the actual solar positions from astronomical (天文学的) records and the dates on which Monet began the works. “We believe,” Thomas says, “that we can basically work out how much smoke would have to be in the air to create that visibility and those colors in, say, February 1900 through the images.” Some art historians doubt whether the London paintings hold this much documentary evidence, pointing out the Monet continued to work on many of the images after he returned to this studio in Giverny, France. They also argue that theres no question that Monet was surprisingly realistic to what lay in front of him, but at the same time, for example, he had a preference for pinks. He always was trying to put pinks into pictures throughout his career. Thomas admits that “its still just a hypothesis(假设)” but insists that “were fairly optimistic that well get something out of it”.59. We may infer from the passage that _. A. modern people have known what caused the fog in London through early record B. most painters were attracted and inspired by the fog of London C. many citizens were once proud of their mysterious and beautiful foggy air D. London used to suffer a lot from the Industrial Revolution60. About Monets paintings, which of the following statements is true? A. They are not so popular and attractive today because too many still exit. B. They are full of the painters imagination rather than realistic drawings. C. Many of the paintings by Monet are colored pink. D. They have recorded the London fogs and air quality by the painter regularly.61. According to the passage, the study of Jacob Baker and John E. Thomas has _. A. been questioned by some art historians B. found the answer to what contributed to the foggy air in London C. produced enough and persuasive evidence to carry out more research D. attracted great attention from many scientistsCWASHINGTONExtreme heat that has been baking much of the US Midwest and East Coast has eased on July 9, with rain and cooler temperatures reported in those parts of the country, while reports indicated the death toll of the heat wave has climbed to 74. With cooler air sweeping southward in the eastern half of the country, the temperature has dropped from around 100 degrees Fahrenheit over the past two weeks to about 90 in most parts of the Midwest to the East Coast. In Washington, Monday was the first cool day after 11 days of sustained heat, with highs at 84 degrees. The relief began Saturday night, as thunderstorms led to the cooler temperatures. In New Jersey, a line of strong, fast-moving storms knocked out power to nearly 70, 000 on Saturday night. The heat was blamed for at least 74 deaths across the country in the past two weeks, according to NBC News, with states like Virginia and Illinois reporting double digit death toll. The heat wave has been near-unprecedented (几乎史无前例的) for several major cities. In Chicago, the temperature reached 100 degrees for three days from Wednesday through Friday, which ties historic record. St Louis period of 10 continuous days of 100 or higher has only been topped by the Dust Bowl year of 1936 when the period was 13 days. Washington hit 100 on Sunday for the fourth continuous day, tying a record set July 19-22, 1930. However, as the heat eases in the East, forecasters warned that a new round of record highs could soon bake Western states. 62. What can be the best title of the passage? A.

For years, doctors have warned that smoking can cause lung cancer. Studies also have linked smoking to several other kinds of cancer, heart attacks and other diseases, lung diseases, and a number of other medical problems. The repeated health warnings have had an effect. Thousands of people have stopped smoking. But as many people have learned, stopping smoking can be very difficult.A major problem apparently is the nicotine, a poisonous substance found in tobacco. Small amounts of nicotine are released as tobacco is burned. And over many years of smoking, a persons body becomes dependent on the substance. An attempt to stop smoking brings the problems of nicotine withdrawal（脱瘾过程）.American medical researchers have found that nicotine withdrawal causes people to become angry very easily, aggressive, worried and unable to think sharply. Many people who have tried to stop smoking would confirm those findings.To help people give up smoking, some tobacco companies have proposed chewing tobacco, or using snuff as safe substitutes（替代物）. Snuff is a tobacco powder that usually is breathed in. But many people put it between their gum and cheek.A group of British scientists said recently that many lives could be saved by a major program to get cigarette smokers to change to snuff. An American scientist, Allan Blum, disagreed. Dr. Blum argued that snuff, put in the mouth, can cause gum disease, teeth problems and throat problems that lead to cancer. Dr. Blum also warned against chewing tobacco as a substitute for smoking. He said chewing tobacco c
