Houston has warned the underwater search is likely to drag on for up to a year.56.Whats the meaning of the phrase “hash out” in Paragraph 2?A.determine B.discussC.deliverD.debate57.Whats the purpose of the re-examination of all data by the experts?A.To make assumptions and conclusions of the plane.B.To check whether the searching is in right place. C.To encourage the searching crews.D.To calculated the planes most likely flight path.58.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the two officials interviewed?A.They didnt think they can finish the task. B.There is something going wrong in the searching.C.The searching crew are still confident after nearly two-month hunt.D.The search for the missing jet will continue.59.The main purpose of the passage is to inform us of _.A.the likeliest fly path based on satellite and radar data B.the wrong area for MH370 searching C.the further information about the Missing Malaysia AirlinesD.the final result of the searching BThe Great Barn AdventureOne morning when I was 11, I explored the towns abandoned round grain barn(谷仓).I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark.After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn.On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway.After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder.For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down.So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft.I stood up, dusted myself off and foundabsolutely nothing of interest.It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof.I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher(灭火器),which Id always wanted to shoot off.So this was the chance of a lifetime.I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room.I couldnt breathe.I was going to choke to death, and theyd probably never even find my body.Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof.I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention.So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door.Im not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.60.When the author got inside the barn, he _.A.noticed a man on the elevatorB.opened the chained sliding doorC.saw many dead mice in the darkD.found a shaft leading to the top61.Which of the following is the right order of the authors adventure?a.The elevator stopped halfway.b.He entered the round grain barn.c.He climbed to the top of the shaft.d.He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.A.b-a-c-d B.a-c-b-d C.c-a-d-b D.b-c-a-d62.After getting out of the chained door, the author might feel _.A.inspired B.relieved C.surprised D.disappointed63.From the passage, we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of _.A.passions B.dreams C.curiosity D.imaginationCThere is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science.Heres an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages,ages 9-12 Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like?

Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”For a few seconds we just looked.Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left.It felt good to share the beauty.Four years later my situation changed greatly.I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage.I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life.I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances.She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.Then something that happened to her changed everything.She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset.The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement.From that moment on, she turned her life around.68.The author asked the woman to go outside to _.A.admire the sunset B.cheer her up C.offer some help D.have a chat69.Four years later, the author _.A.found her dream job B.put an end to her marriageC.worked in a laundry room D.lived in the same community70.After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably_.A.disappointed B.puzzled C.inspired D.Overjoyed ETo err is human.To blame the other guy is even more human.Common sense is not all that common.Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse? These three popular misquotes (戏谑的引语) are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature .To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people dont want to accept the responsibility for the problem.Perhaps it is the natural thing to do .The original quote about human nature went like this: “ To err is human, to forgive, divine (神圣的).” This saying mirrors an ideal people should be forgiving of others mistakes.Instead, we tend to do the opposite find someone else to pass the blame on to.However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity. Common sense is what we call clear thought.Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan.Commonsense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine.Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything.People say that in a large company, “The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.” And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that its okay not to be totally honest all the time.There is a corollary (直接推论)to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isnt honest, then where is the place of the truth?71.According to the passage, which of the following seems the most human? A.To search for truth. B.To achieve ones ideal. C.To make fun of others mistakes. D.To criticize others for ones own error.72.According to the author, what is a sign of a mans maturity? A.Doing things his own way. B.Bearing responsibility for his mistakes. C.Making as few mistakes as possible. D.Thinking seriously about his wrongdoings.来源:学.科.网73.Which of the following is NOT based on
