Sometimes, we get some hard facts. But more often we have to depend on guesswork. And that is true of this phrase, which came from England.Before 1832,English law did not permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination, unless it was the corpse(尸体) of an executed(处决) criminal.But when it became legal, more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific study of medicine. It was helping in the advance of modern medicine. The demand had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors at high prices.We are told that a doctor would usually buy just one skeleton for scientific study. It became very important in his work. But he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a thing. As a rule, the doctor keep his skeleton in some dark corner where it could not be seen, or hide it in a closet.After a time, people began to suspect(怀疑) every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet. From this suspicion, the phrase“a skeleton in the closet”took on a broader, more general meaning. To describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from discovering. It could be proof of a criminal act, or something much less serious. Well, that is one theory.One writer, however, believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened. It is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have turned up a real skeleton, clear proof of some old family shame or crime. Well, one mans guess is as good as another. But this sounds like a story by the great French novelist, Balzac.Balzac tells us of a man who suspected his wife of having a lover. The husband comes home by surprise. But she hears him and quickly hides her lover in the closet of her bedroom. He enters her room and asks her if she is hiding her lover. He says he will not open the door to the closet if she promises him there is no one there; He will believe her. She answers firmly that she is not hinding anyone in the closet.The husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet. His wifewatches, knowing that her lover will never come out alive. But she will not change her story and admit her guilt.56. Which of the following situations is suitable for using the phrase “skeleton in the closet”?A. You have stolen something precious and dont want it discovered.B. You are a doctor and have to keep a skeleton for research.C. If you have cut open a dead human body for scientific examination you should keep the skeleton secret.D. You have done a crime or done something foolish, but you want to keep others from discovering it.57. From the text we know that there are _ theories about how the phrase “skeleton in the closet” came into being.A. one B. two C. three D. four58. Which of the following is right according to the text?A. In the 19th century, doctors realized the importance of anatomy(解剖) in the development of medicine.B. The doctors of the ancient times liked to collect as many skeleton as possibleC. The thieves stole skeletons from tombs in order to help the doctors.D. It is legal that corpses of anybody are cut open for scientific examination in history.59. From the story Balzac told we know that the wifes lover must have become _.A. a corpse B. a phrase C. a skeleton D. a secretBNot only farmers but scientists have studied weather forecasting(预报).People, for any centuries and in all countries, have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasts. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water-vapour in the air, and therefore a rain will probably come.When distant sounds (such as the noise from a train, birds singing, or people shouting ) are very clearly heard, then wet and stormy weather is on the way.Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain.Many people feel the coming of wet weather in their bones. Their joint aches. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly very near the ground if rainy weather or a storm is on the way. This is probably because the insects, which they are hunting, fly low at that time. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will clear up and become fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, fine weather will continue. If a mist appears in the early morning, just about sunrise, the day will be warm.If the sunset is mostly red in color, the following day will be fine. When big cumulous clouds(积云) appear at sunset, the bad weather will follow the next day.If cirrus clouds(卷云) remain quite still, fine weather will come. If a rainbow appears in the morning, then rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made up by people who have used their eyes and their brains to forecast the weather.60. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, because_.A. they like fine weather B. they can fly high when fine weather is comingC. they fly high to catch insects D. they feel very happy61. When big cumulous clouds appear at sunset, then the weather will_thenext day.A. be fine B. be bad C. be windy D. be cloudy62. Weather will be fine if_.A. you see rings round the sunB. you see the distant objects very clear and nearC. you feel pain in your bonesD. the stars twinkle clearly at night63. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, it shows that the weather will clear up and become fine. This is because _.A. there is much water-vapour in the airB. there is not much water-vapour in the airC. there is not any water-vapour in the airD. there are all kinds of water-vapour in the airCEvery human being has a unique (惟一的) arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable. Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.The ridge (脊状) structure on a persons fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed. Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.Finger-prints can be made very easily with printersink. They can by recorded easily. With special methods, identification (识别)can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Special techniques are used to “evelop”them. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.64. Scientists and experts have proved that the pattern of a human beings finger skin_ _.A. is similar to his mothersB. is valuable to himself onlyC. is like that of others with the same type of bloodD. is different from that of all others65. If your fingers are wounded by knife, fire or other means, the structure of skin will_.A. be changed partly B. be replaced by a different oneC. be the same when the wound is recovered D. become ugly66. Some criminals remove their own finger-prints by _.A. using printers ink B. injuring the inner skinC. damaging the outer skin D. damaging the colour67. Finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case because it _.A. is complicated but reliable B. is simple and not expensiveC. is expensive but easy to do D. can bring a lot of moneyDBiological Invasion (入侵): Rabbits, an Australian Way of Life When introduced to Australia, rabbits proved a disaster. The story is from multiple sidesfrom how rabbits destroyed vast zones of grazing land (畜牧场), to what natives thought, to the 1930s Depression (大萧条) when rabbits kept hungry stomachs full.Rabbits, even with human help, took some six centuries to spread throughout Britain. They spread faster than any introduced mammal (哺乳动物) anywhere. They moved 10 to 15 kilometres a year through forests and up to 130 kilometres across open country.Rabbits ate seedlings until no plants remained left. Grazing animals starved. Pasture and soil disappeared. After 1880, many rabbit-control methods were tried but nothing worked.Rabbits reached central Australia in 1894. T. Tjupurrula tells how his father saw one of the first rabbits in Pintupi country, Northern Territory, in 1908:“That yumpitas had gone into a hole. Might be dangerous one. Look-out! : Nose, whiskers big one eyes, long one ears: Alright, hes not dangerous one, hes only eating grass.”Big landowners hated rabbits. Yet many small farmers and poorer Australians, both European and natives, needed them. For the price of a cheap rifle or a few steel traps, they had an endless supply of meat for their families and skins to sell for cash. Many a kid of the Depression years remembers creeping out into the forest to trap rabbits for breakfast. Just 30 years after rabbits were introduced, governments were offering a small fortune for a way of finishing them. Many methods of rabbit control failed. Instead, Australians learned to keep out further species that might run wild. From 1940 onwards, the Commonwealth (联邦) Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) experimented with chemical and biological methods of rabbit control. Fumigation (烟熏法) seemed promising, but under pressure from land-holders, CSIRO used myxomatosis (多发性粘液瘤). It spread rapidly, killing millions of rabbits.68. During the 1930s Depression, in Australia, rabbits _.A. were food for hungry people B. ate up huge areas of grazing landC. were killed for fun D. made grass-eating animals starve69. Rabbits moved _.A. more slowly in open country than in woodsB. in woods as fist as in open countryC. much faster in open country than in woodsD. slowly in woods as well as in open country70. In the 1930s Depression years, Which is NOT mentioned?A. poorer Australians could afford to buy rifles to kill rabbitsB. wealthy Australians disliked rabbits deeplyC. most kids experienced rabbit-hunting for mealsD. the rich land-holder also sold rabbit skins for money71. Ever-growing rabbits_ _.A. were an only supply of skins for the poor to change for cashB. were a disaster for humans to balance natureC. can only be controlled by chemical methodsD. didnt draw the Commonwealth governments attentionEBefore the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking, and salting could keep meat for a short time, but the chance of eating fresh meat and drinking fresh milk was very limited; there was no way to keep food from going bad. But in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing technique of canning. And in the 1850s an American named Gall Borden developed a means of keeping milk fresh. Canned foods and condensed milk (炼乳) became more common during the 1860s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had developed modern machines that mass-produced cans from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be kept and bought at all times of the year.Other inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to change their daily diets. Growing populations increased food demand and stimulated fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator cars made it possible to ship growers and packed meat fresh to faraway places without worrying they would go bad. Thus, by the 1890s northern city settlers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, for a month at most in the past, for up to six months of the year. Besides, increased use of iceboxes made it possible for families to store food which could easily go bad. An easy means of producing ice had been invented in the 1870s, and by 1900 the nation ha
