There were green forests and they could find enough to eat. Later, parts of the earth became cold and dry, and the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out.We can guess another reason. New kinds of animals came on the earth. Some had big brains and were fast and strong. They could kill dinosaurs.There may be other reasons that we dont know about yet. Scientists are trying to make more discoveries about dinosaurs.Dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes (形状). Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.There were also terrible fights between dinosaurs. They might have happened more than 100 million years ago. Though there was no man to see any of the fights, we can be told by the animals footprints (足迹) that fight did take place.66.

This large wilderness area is very high in the Rocky Mountains of the Northwestern US. It is bigger than the smallest state in the US. Yellowstone became the worlds first national park in 1872. Yellowstone has many different kinds of unusual scenery. Although millions of people visit the park, the land remains unchanged- still a wilderness. The valley of the Yellowstone River has beautiful colored rocks and three large waterfalls. In the early morning or evening, visitors sometimes see large deer-like animals, or buffalo (水牛) eating grass along the shores of Lake Yellowstone. The high mountains around Yellowstone are covered with evergreen (常绿的)forests. Yellowstone Park has many areas with hot springs. These are caused by heat from the hot center of the earth. Old Faithful is the most famous. Every 70 minutes, Old Faithful sends hot water about 150 feet high into the air. When you visit Yellowstone, why not live like a cowboy? You can stay at an Old West country hotel. Youll enjoy typical cowboy food outdoor. You can ride a horse along one of the many paths or trails. There are over 1,000 miles of trails around Yellowstone. If you like excitement, take a boat trip down the fast Snake River, or spend a quiet summer day fishing by a river or a blue mountain lake. In winter, Yellowstone Park is covered with heavy snow, but visitors still come to skate.70. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Yellowstone Park has the longest history in US.B.

One of the most exciting activities in the park in summer is .A. riding B. boating C. swimming D. hunting(c)French, English, Danish and Italian children are all bigger in the average height than their parents were at the same age. But Americans and Japanese seem to have changed most in height. Americans average height has gone up almost an inch in 30 years. If people had grown an inch every thirty years since a million years ago, we would be a half mile tall by now.Scientists do not know why people are suddenly getting so much taller. One reason may be that they are living a better life today. Also in the last hundred years, people of the world have moved around - from the country to the city, from one city to another, and from one country to another. Some scientists think that when their people from different parts of the world marry, the children are likely to be taller than their parents. Perhaps it is because of this reality that Africans, in the world hardly moved around at all. People of Watusi and Dinka tribes in East Africa and the Indians of Chile are of the average height of 5 feet and 11 inches. But the children are about the same height as their parents. As a group they are not getting taller.74. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. People are growing up faster.B. People in many countries have become fatter than before.C. Children in a number of countries are getting taller than their parents.D. People of the world have greatly changed in the past thirty years.75. What is NOT referred to(提及) in the second paragraph?A. No one exactly knows why people are getting taller.B. Children are getting taller because their parents are tall.C. People from different parts of the world have married.D. People have moved from one country to another.76. Why are the people of the Watusi and Dinka tribes not getting taller as a group?A. Because they seldom move around. B. Because they are tall enough.C. Because they live in East Africa. D. None of the above answers.77. Which of the following is true?A. Japanese children grow taller than American children.B. Indian children grow taller than their parents.C. Italian children grow taller than American children.D. American children grow taller than those in many other countries.(D)Today it seems perfectly natural for us to shake hands when we greet someone or say goodbye. But like so many things that we do without thinking, such actions at one time probably represented something.For example, in primitive life the hand was probably a symbol of power and strength. The hand was used to fight enemies, kill animals, and make spears and implements (工具). So when the hand was extended to someone, it could have represented good will, since it showed that the person was not armed or ready to fight.We know that the hand was an important symbol in early religion, probably as a mark of power. The Greeks prayed to their gods with raised hands. Presenting the hands palm to palm was at one time the way an inferior (身份低的) person paid respect to a superior (身分高的) one.Among the Arabs, it was customary at one time to kiss the hand of a superior. Later on, polite Arabs began to refuse the efforts of people to kiss their hands, and sometimes they would end up shaking hands as each tried to prevent the other showing this mark of inferiority.The early Greeks held out the right hand when they wished to show friendship to a stranger. So we can see that the hand, and what was done with it, was full of meanings to people down through the ages. And while we shake hands without thinking, we are really carrying a custom that has been handed down from ancient times.78. The second paragraph tells us that _ .A. the handshake didnt mean greetingB. what hands were used to do in primitive lifeC. the handshake showed mens kindnessD. the handshake showed nothing79. According to the passage, we know that among the Arabs, at one time, _ .A. people kissed each other whenever t
