22、ey couldnt explain or understand about him and that excited their imagination. He stirred（激起） Maggies anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “Its a mercy that brother of yours doesnt come often.” In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight oclock in the evening, and he

23、 stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. In

24、deed, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “Youll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of

25、course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for Ja

26、mes, though rich, was unwilling to give or share what he had. He always went home by the last train, just after two oclock.Maggies children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mothers words, “lost two wives and taken a third.” They wondered about those two unf

27、ortunate, lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate(命运) had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.56. Mag

28、gie never prepared anything special for James because _.A. he was a man difficult to pleaseB. she never knew when he was comingC. she was too busy looking after her childrenD. he never stayed long enough for a meal 57. What do we know about James behaviour?A. He was a kind man, with love for the fam

29、ily.B. He was unselfish, especially towards his brother.C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the children.D. He was rude to his sister-in-law 58.

30、to catch his trainD. James thanked her for the nice supper 59. The children did not realize that two of James wives _.A. were deadB. suffered from loss of memoryC. had run away from himD. might reappear one dayBWhen Laura reached school-going age the discussions about moving became more urgent(紧迫的).

31、 Her father did not want the children to go to school with the village children and for once her mother agreed with him. Not because, as he said, they ought to have a better education than they could get at Lark Rise; but because he feared they would tear their clothes and catch cold and get dirty h

32、eads going a mile and a half to and from the school in the village. So empty cottages in the market town were examined and often it seemed that the next week or the next month they would be leaving Lark Rise for ever; but again each time something would happen to prevent the removal, and gradually a

33、 new idea came up. To gain time, their father would teach the two eldest children to read and write, so that, if asked by the School Attendance Office, their mother could say they were leaving the small village shortly, and in the meantime, they were being taught at home. So their father brought hom

34、e two copies of Mavors First Reader and taught them the alphabet; but just as Laura was beginning on words of one syllable(音节), he was sent away to work on a distant job, only coming home at weekends. Laura, left at the c-a-t s-u-t-s on the m-a-ts stage, then had to carry her book round after her mo

35、ther as she went about her housework, asking, “Please, Mother, what does h-o-u-s-e spell?” or “W-a-l-k, Mother, what is that?” Often when her mother was too busy or too tired to attend to her, she would sit and fix her eyes on a page that might as well have been printed in Hebrew(希伯来语) for all she c

36、ould make of it, frowning(锁眉) and studying the print as though she would make out the meaning by force of concentration(专注). After weeks of this, there came a day when, quite suddenly, as it seemed to her, the printed characters took on a meaning. There were still many words, even on the first page

37、of that simple book, she could not understand；but she could jump those yet make sense of the whole. “Im reading！Im reading!” she cried aloud. “Oh, Mother！Oh, Edmund！Im reading!” 60. The childrens father decided to teach them to read and write so that they _. A. had an excuse not to have to moveB. ha

38、d a reason for not attending schoolC. could write to the School Attendance OfficeD. would be educated before they left the village61. The underlined part left at the c-a-t s-u-t-s on the m-a-ts stage means that _. A. Laura was working hard and learning quicklyB. her father had no time to teach herC.

39、 her mother was too busy to attend to herD. Laura knew little about how to read and write62. From the passage we can infer that _ made Laura stare at a page in her book. A. her lack of concentrationB. her inability to understandC. her need to understand Hebrew D. her determination to understand63. L

40、aura finally discovered she could read when she _. A. understood the main idea B. understood all the words in her bookC. recognized the printed characters D. jumped the first pages of her bookCThe famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that

41、 the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him. The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”“No, sir,” the men answere

42、d. The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “were on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next fligh

43、t to the west coast, and get one.”But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why dont you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then itll look like a sunset.” w.w.“Thats a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I w

44、ant you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine oclock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased. Th

45、ey all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.”The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to

57、annot be detected(探测) by human senses. It cant be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cant detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we cant sense radioactivi

58、ty without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells(细胞)in important organs(器官). But even the lowest levels can do

59、 serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if there are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But

60、 if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage c

61、an be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗)and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.72. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in _.A. nuclear mystery B. radiation detection C. radiation l
