Over a 10-year period, Jones had managed to cheat thousands of people throughout the state out of almost $10 million.He advertised his fantastic ideas on TV. “For some reason,” Jones said, “TV seems to break the ice. Even though you are a total stranger to the viewer, once he sees you on TV in his home, he feels like he knows you. You enter his living room and become a trusted friend.”Jones had an imagination that wouldnt quit. One time he showed viewers an “official government” earthquake report which “proved” that the western half of California would collapse into the sea within three years. For $100, he said, Jones would insure（承保） your house and property for full value. Thousands of people who saw that TV ad sent him a hundred dollars each.In another TV ad, Jones claimed that he had come to an agreement with the federal and state government for exclusive（独享的）air rights. He told viewers that, for only $100, they could own the first 10 miles above all their property. You would be able to charge any commercial plane that flew over your property $100 per crossing. You would also be able to charge government rockets, satellites, space shuttles, and space stations $100 for each and every violation of your air rights.Another time, Jones claimed to have invented a product that gets rid of calories. He showed the viewers a spray can of “NoCal.” He said that by simply spraying NoCal on your food, a chemical interaction would cause all the calories in the food to simply disappear within about 10 seconds. The NoCal was only $10 a can. As usual, Jones received thousands of checks in the mail.The judge told Jones that he should be ashamed of himself. Jones responded that he was very ashamed of himself, and that when he got out of prison he hoped to become a TV adviser to help people avoid getting cheated. He told the judge that he was already developing an instructional CD that, for merely $100, would save people thousands of dollars in scams（骗局）. The judge nodded, and then changed Jones sentence from 10 years to 12 years.61According to Jones, he could successfully cheat many people mainly because_.Ahe promised them a large profit Bthey were too eager to make moneyCthey believed too much in TV ads Dhe was skillful in communicating with people62Which of the following statements is TRUE?AJones showed unusual imagination in his tricks. BJones was closely related to the state government.CWestern California was in danger of going under the sea.DJones felt guilty and was determined to lead a new life.63We can infer that people who wanted to buy “NoCal” from Jones_.Awere mainly from low income families Ball had a rich knowledge of chemistryCwere probably interested in losing weight Dusually did the shopping through the Internet64The judge changed the sentence at last because_.AJones was planning another big scam Bhe could hardly believe what Jones had told himCJones had cheated more people than he expected Dhe had suffered from Jones scams himself BIcebergs are among natures most impressive creations, and yet most people have never seen one. They come into being somewhere in faraway, freezing waters, amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence（漩涡）, which in most cases no one hears or sees. They exist only a short time and then slowly melt away just as unnoticed. They have been called objects of complete beauty. Appearing in an endless variety of shapes, they may be dazzlingly white, or they may be glassy blue, green or purple, in light colors or in dark colors. They are graceful, stately, inspiring-in calm, sunlit seas.But they are also called frightening and dangerous, and that they are-in the night, in the fog, and in storms. Even in clear weather one is wise to stay a safe distance away from them. Most of their main part is hidden below the water, so their underwater parts may extend out far beyond the visible top. Also, they may roll over unexpectedly, stirring the waters around them. Icebergs are parts of glaciers that break off, drift into the water, float about awhile, and finally melt. Icebergs floating today are made of snows that have fallen over long ages of time. They include snows that drifted down hundreds, or many thousands, or in some cases maybe a million years ago. The snows fell in Polar regions and on cold mountains, where they melted only a little or not at all, and so collected to great depths over the years and centuries. As each years snow accumulation lay on the surface, evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes slowly to become tiny grains of ice. When new snow fell on top of the old, it too turned to icy grains. So blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer upon layer and were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper layers pressed the lower ones. With time and pressure from above, the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals, and eventually the deeper crystals merged into a solid mass of ice.65The underlined word “dazzlingly” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.Abrilliantly Babundantly Cbeautifully Dapproximately66The author states that icebergs are rarely seen because they are_.Abroken by waves soon after they are found Bhidden under the mountainsClocated in remote regions of the world Dsurrounded by fog67The underlined phrase “from above” in the last paragraph refers to “_”.Asunlit seas Bpolar regionsCweight of mountains Dlayers of ice and snow68According to the passage, icebergs are dangerous because they_ .Ausually melt quickly Bcan turn over suddenlyCmay create large snowdrifts Dmay float and hit the ships suddenly CLike most people, Ive long understood that I will be judged by my occupation, that my profession is a standard people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how Im treated as a person.Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people. I had customers say and do things to me I suspect theyd never say or do to their most casual acquaintances（泛泛之交）. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned (示意) me back with his finger minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where Id been.I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon (勤杂工) plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior（较差的）treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day Id be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.Once I graduated, I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked .I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.My job title made people treat me politely. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry.Its no secret that theres a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to satisfy to others needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didnt get the difference between server and servant.Im now applying to graduated school, which means someday Ill return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want, I think Ill take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them.69The author was disappointed to find that _.Aones position is used as a standard to measure ones intelligenceBtalented people like her should fail to get a respectable jobCones occupation affects the way one is treated as a personDprofessionals tend to look down upon manual waitresses70What does the author intend to say by the example in the second paragraph?ASome customers simply show no respect to those who serve them.BPeople absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent-minded.CWaitresses are often treated by customers as casual acquaintances.DSome customers like to complain because of the waitress poor service.71How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?AShe felt it unfair to be treated as a mere servant by professional.BShe felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.CShe was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.DShe found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.72The underlined sentence “many of my customers didnt get the difference between server and servant” in Paragraph 7 means “_ ”.Athose who satisfy others needs are sure to be looked down upon.Bthose working in the service industry shouldnt be treated as servants.Cthose serving others have to put up with rough treatment to earn a living.Dthe majority of customers tend to look on a servant as server nowadays. DWASHINGTON(Reuters)-Vast areas of US Pacific Ocean waters could be protected as marine protected areas or monuments, the White House said on Monday, drawing praise from environmental groups.President George W. Bush started the process by directing the US secretaries of the Interior. Defense and Commerce departments to judge whether certain locations in the Pacific should be designated（指定）as marine protected areas, White House spokesman Tony Fratto said. The areas being considered for protection in the new plan are a group of islands and atolls（环状珊瑚岛）in the remote central Pacific, including the Rose Atoll near American Samoa, and some of the waters around the Northern Mariana Islands in the western Pacific.The action comes a month after Bush in a symbolic action put an end to a White House ban on offshore drilling closer to home as gas prices rose. Environmental groups said expanded offshore drilling, which would still require congressional approval, would not cut gas costs and could hurt wildlife. Bush established a national monument in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands in 2006, creating the largest marine protected area in the world. Mondays announcement starts a process that could result in more such protected ocean areas by the end of Bushs presidency（总统任期）in January.Joshua Reichert of the Pew Environment Group called the announcement “a hopeful sign for ocean conservation” but said designation as a marine protected area or monument could still permit commercial fishing and deep sea mining.“However, if the president establishes these new sites as protected areas, where no destructive activity is allowed, it would be one of the most significant environmental achievements of any US president,” Reicehrt said in a statement.73Whats the right order of the events according to the passage?a. Bush ended a White House ban on offshore drilling.b. Bush set up a national monument in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands.c. Bush started a process to protect the vast areas of US Pacific Ocean. d. Bush started his presidency.Ad, a, b, cBd, b, a, cCb, a, c, d
