Most London taxi drivers have their own taxis.”“Its a nice job most of time. You meet a lot of people. I always work at night, because there is too much traffic during the day. I live twenty miles outside London and I go to work at 5:30 in the afternoon.”“I usually go home between 2 and 3 in the morning.”“Some very strange things happened late at night. The other day I was taking a woman home from a party. She had her little dog with her. When we got to her house, she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows.”“I waited and waited. After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on. I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in through the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came. They thought I was a thief.” “Luckily the woman came downstairs. She must have gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the dog!”51.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become nearsighted. Then people who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arms length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some peoples eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the objects relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.55. We should take good care of our eyes _.A. only when we can see wellB. only when we cannot see perfectlyC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are56. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably _.A. near-sighted B. far-sightedC. astigmatic D. suffering from cataracts57. The underlined word suffer from in the second paragraph probably means _.A. experience B. imagineC. feel pain D. are affected with58. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for _.A. seeing at night B. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide area D. judging distances59. People who suffer from astigmatism have _.A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glassesReading CMy father, at the death of his father, was six years old, and he grew up without education. He moved from Kentucky to Indiana when I was seven. We reached our new home about the time the state came into the Union. It was a wild area, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. I grew up there. There were some so-called schools, but what was required of a teacher never went beyond “reading, writing, and adding.” If a stranger supposed to understand Latin happened to live for a time in the area, he was looked on as wizard (奇才). There was simply nothing to excite a desire for education. Of course, when I grew up, I did not know much. Still, somehow, I could read, write, and add, but that was all. The advance I have now made is on this store of education, which I have picked up under the pressure of necessity.60. When the writer was a child _.A. his grandfather died in the state of KentuckyB. his family settled down in the countryside of IndianaC. Kentucky joined the Union as a member stateD. his family had to move from place to place61. When the writer was seven, his family moved to an area where _.A. educated people were greatly respectedB. quite a few had a knowledge of LatinC. people were often killed by wild animalsD. the land had yet to be farmed62. How did the writer look at his early education?A. He believed he met the school requirements.B. He thought he was well-educated.C. He thought it was not satisfactory.D. He believed he was poorly educated.Reading DIt must have been around nine oclock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark. As I came near to the gates I turned off the headlamps of the car so as to prevent the beam(光芒) from swinging(摇摆)in through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But I neednt have done so, I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway- unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps, then I opened the door quietly and went to Jacks room. He was in bed awake but he didnt even turn towards me.“Whats up, Jack?” I said.“For Gods sake(看在上帝面上), dont make a noise,” he said.The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury. “Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said.I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humor him to keep him happy, “Theres a snake here” he explained, “Its asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it. I knew that moving was out of the question. I couldnt have moved even if Id wanted to.” I realized that he was serious. “I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home.” Jack went on.” It hasnt bitten me yet but I darent do anything to upset it. It might wake up. Im sick of this,” he said,” I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.”There was no time to argue or apologize for being late. I looked at him as encouragingly as I could and went out to telephone the doctor.63. When he got home, Neville found that _.A. Jack had fallen asleep while reading B. Jack had been reading for some timeC. Jacks light was not turned off D. Jack was ready to answer the door64.

As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dumpsite. Residents or trash haulers(垃圾托运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically(定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的)neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a citys reusable waste.67. The most suitable title for this passage would be _.A. Places f
