This seems far from the truth. Young people today as a whole are better, more informed, more ambitious, healthier, and more alert than ever before. Why then, it may be asked, do we witness such restlessness and such anti-social behavior among our young people?For the answer，the citizens of this community must look at themselves. What have they done to improve the life of our youth? How many playgrounds have been built in the last fifteen years? How many swimming pools? How many vocational training projects have been started? How many community-organized youth parties and picnics have been held?The average citizen will answer that the responsibility for these activities belongs to the schools. But the schools cannot be held responsible for all the free-time activities of all the young people of this community. The job of the schools is formal education, not freetime entertainment.This community needs a youth center suitable for such activities as picnics, camping, sports, music, art, and theatricals. There could be social and entertaining activities to meet the needs and interests of every member of our school age youth.Mayor Elmo D. Greely has proposed the formation of a Youth Club as the first step in the direction of a Youth Center. Mayor Greely has called a meeting at the City Hall on Friday, August 15.56. The main idea of paragraph 2 and 3 is _. A. to give us lots of questions to show that the problem is seriousB. that schools should hold the responsibility for education rather than entertainmentC. to analyze the reasons why the youth are anti-socialD. that schools should take more activities or start many vocational training projects57. The solution to the problem of the youths anti-social behavior is _. A. enriching the life of the youth B. taking part in picnics, campingC. attending a meeting held by Mayor D. needing support from youth58. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The anti-social problem, B. The duty of formal education. C. A Youth Club is Needed. D. A Youth Center is Needed.BAmerican researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the bodys defense system. When AIDS virus enters the blood, it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes (淋巴细胞). The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes. Then it forces its way inside. There it directs the cells genetic material to produce copies of the AIDS virus. This is how AIDS spreads.Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from connecting to T4 cells. When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell, it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein.Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones of the CD4 protein into the blood. This way the AIDS virus will connect to cloned protein instead of the real ones. Scientists use genetic engineering methods to make the clones. Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times; the AIDS virus must go to it.In a new technique, however, the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell. It floats freely, so a lot more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 protein on T4 cells. One report says the AIDS virus connects to cloned protein just as effectively as it connects to real protein. That report was based on tests with blood cells grown in labs. The technique is just now beginning to be tested in animals. If successful, it may be tested in humans within a year.59. The new technique can _. A. cure AIDS B. kill the AIDS virusC. prevent the AIDS virus from spreading D. produce new anti-AIDS cells60. When the AIDS virus enters the blood, it is reproduced by _. A. itself B. the blood cellsC. the CD4 protein D. the genetic material of T4 lymphocytes61. The AIDS virus connects to cloned protein instead of the real CD4 protein because _.A. cloned protein stays on the T4 cellsB. cloned protein floats freely, and many more can be put into the bloodC. it connects to cloned protein more effectively D. cloned protein is made by genetic engineering methods62. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The new technique has been tested in labs.B. The new technique is being tested in animals.C. The new technique may be tested in humans.D. The new technique is now under clinic test.63. The best title for this passage is_. A. AIDS-a deadly disease B. A new technique in fighting AIDSC. The spread of AIDS virus D. The cloned CD4 proteinCAustralia has very strict laws relating to the importation and possession of certain goods. Food, plant material and animal products from overseas-including many common souvenirs -could introduce some of the worlds most serious pests and diseases into Australia. Failing to declare quarantine items (需要检疫的物品) on arrival could destroy our agriculture, tourism industries and special environment. Every piece of luggage will be screened or x-rayed on arrival in Australia. So you must declare for inspection of all food, plant material and animal products to check that they are free of pests and diseases.You must tick YES on the Incoming Passenger Card(IPC) to declare if you are carrying any food, plant material or animal products. In signing the IPC, passengers are making a legal declaration and failure to answer all questions truthfully can have serious consequences. If you fail to declare or dispose of any quarantine items, or make a false declaration:* you will get caught;* you could be fined over A $ 200 on-the-spot; or* you could be prosecuted and fined more than A $ 60,000 and risk up to 10 years imprisonment;If you are not sure about the items you are carrying, ask a quarantine officer who will determine whether they are allowed into Australia.64. The reason why you are asked to declare quarantine items on arrival is that _.A. too many overseas products could destroy Australias tourism industry.B. animal products are often the cause of various diseases.C. as is known to us all, bad food can spread diseases easily.D. these items may carry dangerous pests or diseases into Australia. 65.
