A.Plants can be divided into two main types:flowering plants and non-flowering plants. B.All fruits have seeds in them. C.Seeds are protected by the fruits D.Some plants grow from spores.58.The word “non-flowering”in this passage means _. A.开花的 B.有花的 C.多花的 D.不开花的BIn the United States,most children begin attending school when they are 5 years old.Public education is free and most children go to learn to read and write.But they also play games and go on trips.There is no reason at such an early age for them to hit the books. The situation changes as children become older.The subjects become more difficult. Students must learn about world history,algebra(代数),and the life sciences.Tests become more common.Pressure is growing to hit the books,study hard,and advance.However,most serious students only really begin hitting the books for long hours when they reach high school.High school students who hope to continue their education at a college or university must take a special national test called the S-A-T.The test has two parts.The first part tests the students ability with numbers and mathematical skills. The second part tests the students ability in the English language.The S-A-T test is very important.A high school student who gets a high score on the two parts of the test has a good chance to enter a top American college.For this reason,many students hit the books for months to prepare for the S-A-T.59.From the text,we can see “hitting the books” means _. A.working hard for the future B.studying a subject carefully C.reading books in a hurry D.reading books with great effort60.Which of the following statements can best express the main idea of the text? A.The S-A-T is the most important test. B.Education is not easy in the United States. C.“Hitting the books ” is very important for the students who want to have a bright future. D.The more you want to learn,the more tests you have to pass.61.American children dont have _ if they want to study in public school.

A.In America the students have to pass certain tests to continue their education. B.Young children neednt work hard at their lessons because education is free. C.Those who fail in the S-A-T cannot go to college. D.The students must spend a lot of time preparing for the S-A-T.CAnotherReasonIt was a quiet village in which there was a military camp.It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around.Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers.But it was difficult for the young men to go outside.Mr.White ,an officer of forty,was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr.White was ill in bed. He couldnt work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him.He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday.But night fell and none came back to the camp.He was worried about it and stood at the gate.It was five to twelve when Mr.Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men.He started the car quickly and set off.At that moment the nine soldiers came back.It seemed they were all drunk.Of course they found the officer was angry.“Im sorry, sir” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time,But something was wrong with my bus on my way here.I had to buy a horse and made it run fast.Bad luck!It died and I had to run back.”And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reason.It was the last soldiers turn.He said, “Im sorry,sir.I got on a bus on time,but”Having heard this,the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus,Ill punish you at once!”“No,no,sir,”said the young man. “My bus was all right,but the dead horses were in its way!”64.The military camp was built in the village to _. A.stop the soldiers going to towns B.stop the soldiers meeting their friends C.train new soldiers D.make the young men live quietly.65.Mr.Hunt let nine soldiers have a holiday because_.

A.The officer only believed the last soldier.B.The officer believed the nine soldiers. C.The officer believed none of the soldiers.D.The officer wouldnt punish his soldiers.D“If you want to see a thing well,reach out and touch it!”That may seem a strange thing to say.But touching things can help you to see them better.Your eyes can tell you that glass ball is round.But by holding it in your hands,you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is.You can feel how heavy the glass is.When you feel all these about the ball,you really see it.With your skin,you can feel better.For example,your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket.You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand,too.You can also feel sounds against your skin.Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music?They must like to feel the sounds of music.All children soon learn what “Dont touch!”means.They hear it often.Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up.In shops,we touch things we might buy,such as food,clothes and so on.To see something well,we have to touch it.The bottoms of our feet can feel things,too.You know this when you walk on warm sand,cool grass or a bad floor.All feel different under your feet.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin.Feel the shoes on your feet,the clothes on your body,the air on your skin.At first,it is not easy to feel these things.You are too used to them!Most museums are just for looking.But today some museums have some thing to touch.Their signs say, “Do touch!There you can feel every thing on show.If you want to see better,reach out and touch.Then youll really see!”68.By touching things_. A.you will have a strange feeling B.you will learn how to reach out C.you can tell the difference between them D.you can tell what colors they are69.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A.Touching by Feeling B.To See or to Feel C.To See BetterFeel D.Ways of Feeling70.When people buy things in shops,they often _.

B.People are used to the things.C.People know how to use the things. D.The things are easy to feel.EIm not a computer expert,I have been in the field for only a short time.I never learned much in the way of science of maths.And I am quite puzzled by things like engineering electronics(电子学).Then why am I able to write about computer?I can write on this subject,because of these shortcomings(缺点).The last two years of learning have been difficult for me.By hard work I have managed to learn enough to use computers fairly well and to work with people who know a great deal more than I.Since I have learned all this at such personal cost,I would like to share my knowledge with others.More and more people want to know about computers,and want to know quickly.The best way to learn is to take a course.However,many people do not have the time for it.They will have to find some other way to get some basic information.I hope to be able to help them by writing about some of the things I have learned myself.I have a home computer on which Ive learned in my own time.I have used it like a home study course.I have sat down with it day after day,night after night.I have forced it to give up some of its secrets.Now I can use it to do some of the work that I get paid for.And I can do this work in my own home,inste
