From the moment the airplane takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watche

25、d on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. Air traffic controllers around a busy airport may handle 1,000 planes every day. Any plane that flies near an airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small m

26、istake on their part may cause a disaster. Recently, such a disaster almost happened. Two large planes were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto. The other was carrying 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two

27、planes were too close to each other. He wanted to order one to turn to the right to climb, but he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from each other, the two planes turned towards each other. 15 seconds later, one plane flew directly in front of the ot

28、her plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than the length of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.56. What is the function of the radar in flying?A. It directs the busy motorway.B. It sends message

29、s to the pilot when it finds something unusual.C. It controls the direction of the plane.D. It observes every movement of the plane.57.

31、a little worried about the safety of air travel.C. The author doesnt think air travel is safe.D. The author prefers to travel by car.So much to do, so little time. So much information, so little time to read it. In this age there is more information than ever before. There is not enough time to read

32、 everything we want to read. However, you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading. The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it. Dont say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its importance. Later you will recognize clumps o

33、f four words or more to increase your speed. This is the first and most important step in speed-reading. The next step is technique. As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique. You should first be sitting up straight with your book flat on a horizontal (水平的) surface such as a table or

34、 a desk. Next, you should be able to see the entire page. This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words. Lastly, you should be focused. It is hard to read with a lot of noise. Find a quiet place to read. This will help your understanding of the text. You need something to guide your eye

35、s while reading. You should use your finger. Move your finger smoothly across the page. Keep your eyes focused on the words as you recognize them while using your finger as a guide. This will increase your speed. The third step is practice. Practice makes perfect. Read using different techniques, bu

36、t make sure you understand what you are reading.59. From the first paragraph, we know that _.A. there is more limited information than ever beforeB. conditions ask people to use less time to know more information C. people can read what they likeD. the less you read, the more time you will spend60.

37、Which of the following shows the RIGHT time order for speed-reading according to the passage?a. Ask for more technique.b. Look at many words and recognize them.c. Practise more.A. c, a, b B. c, b, a C. b, a, c D. a, c, b61.The underlined part “you should be focused” in the third paragraph means A. a

38、 person should devote all his attention to readingB. your feelings will be hurt while readingC. a person should forget his difficulties while readingD. you should pay attention to your faults while reading62. To speed up your reading, you could .A. use something to guide your eyes B. say every word

39、out loudC. know it is necessary to read quicklyD. underline some important words while readingCYes, love is everywhere. Love is in me, love is in you and love is there in everything on the earth because love is God and God is love. Love provides us with the opportunity to have marvelous experiences.

40、 Scientifically it is difficult to state the causes of love. Still love can do miracles. It does not cost anything to share and give love. True love always multiplies itself and never reduces. Now the question arises how to tell true love from fake love. This question has a very simple answer. We ca

41、n never know the real feeling of the other people, but we dont need to worry about it. If our own feelings are true then it is definitely a true love. We do not need other peoples acceptance or approval for it. In love it matters only that we are ready to give. It is very easy to give love to others

42、 and we will always get many times more love in return. However, there is one condition, that is, our love should be free of any expectation. The Indian God Krishna only loves and loves. He is a symbol of love and a picture of love itself. We usually run here and there in search of love and never fi

43、nd it but we forget to look at what is near us. Love is here in ourselves, only we need to give it to others. If you offer others love then they are not going to return hatred to you. They will also return love to you. Love is very simple, but still so many people are not able to understand it becau

44、se they do not love themselves. First lesson in love is to love yourself.63. By saying, “However, there is one condition, that is, our love should be free of any expectation.” in the second paragraph, the author means that _.A. loving others means getting love back B. if you love others truly, dont

45、expect whether others love you or not C. loving others means they will love you freely D. loving others neednt cost any money 64. Which of the following statements about love is NOT true?A. Its easy to tell whose love is really true. B. The Indian God Krishna sets a good example to us in love. C. If

46、 you offer others love, youll not get hatred from others. D. Love can make us do wonders.65. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Love can make you a rich man.B. Giving love to others requires you to love yourself first.C. If you love others, you can love yourself.D. We often look for love

47、 around us.66. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Love is everywhere and love is in everything.B. The importance of love.C. How to share your love with others. D. The secret of love.DYouve probably heard countless times how exercise is “good for you”, but did you know that it

48、 can actually help you feel good, too? Getting the right amount of exercise can speed up your energy levels and even help you to feel better emotionally. However, like all good things, its possible to overdose on exercise. Although exercising is a great way to maintain a healthy weight, exercising t

49、oo much to lose weight isnt healthy. The body needs enough calories to function properly. Remember that youre still growing and will continue to do so throughout your teen years. Youll need the energy to fuel the growth. Exercising too much in an effort to burn calories and lose weight can be a sign

50、 of an eating disorder. If you have any doubts about how much you should be exercising, talk with a school nurse or family doctor. And if you ever get the feeling that your exercise is in charge of you rather than the other way around, talk with your doctor, a parent, or another adult you trust. Con

51、sidering the benefits to the heart, muscles, and mind, its easy to see why exercise is wise. If you exercise now, keep it up as you become an adult (this is often the biggest exercise challenge for people as they get busy with college and careers). One of the great things about exercise is that its

52、never too late to start. And dont forget that even small things can count as exercise when youre starting out like taking a short bike ride or sweeping fallen leaves. Even walking your dog counts as part of your 60 minutes a day of exercise (and your vet will tell you that animals need workouts just

53、 like humans do, so if your family dog is fat, hell benefit from your dedication, too).67. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.A. how exercise is “good for you” B. exercise is good for your bodyC. one should get the right amount of exercise D. exercise can improve ones mood68. Why should

54、teens NOT exercise too much?A. Because it causes their body to work disorderly.B. Because it gets them to have an unhealthy weight.C. Because it will make them become too thin.D. Because it burns the energy they need to grow up.69. What is the biggest challenge for people who want to exercise?A. To find enough time to exercise. B. To continue to exercise the whole life.C. To own suitable equipment for exercising. D. To find a person to exercise together.70. The subject discussed in Paragraphs 2-3 is that _.A. it is not good for you to exercise too much B. i
