Reading comprehension: AFor years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. “We can do without railways peopl

9、e say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that theyre dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to ca

10、rry people or goods from place to place, theyre cheaper than planes.And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a strange line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesnt leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from

11、 the city center. It doesnt hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do. Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well,

12、 sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we cant us

13、e because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we cant fly in for the same reason.65. Some people think the railways are  dead for many reasons except that_.A. planes and motorcars have taken the place of trainsB.  oil is expensive todayC.  trains are

16、#160;    B Glynis Davis:I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldnt  lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christ

17、mas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself Id lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year, but it didnt happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. Id lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bags of fish and chips didnt make any difference

18、but the scales dont lie.Roz Juma:To be honest, I never weigh myself any more Ive learnt to be happy with myself. It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldnt be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you s

19、hould get on with life and stop dreaming of a supper-thin body. This is obviously the size Im meant to be and, most of all, Im happy with it.Lesley Codwin:I was very happy about winning Young Silmmer of the Year. Id look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my

20、problemperhaps from then on I didnt pay any attention to myself. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you. I feel a complete failure because Ive put on weight again.Ros Langfod:Before moving in with my husband Gavin, Id

21、always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet Im really good on a few days, then end up having the childrens leftovers or eating happily chocolatemy weakness. Id like to be slim, but right now

28、 areA. c, d, b, a   B. c, b, d, a   C. d, a, b, c    D. a, b, c, d  CAlthough man has known about asbestos for many hundreds of years, it was not until 160 years ago that it was mined for the first time on the North American continent. H. W. Johns, owner of a

29、New York City Supply Shop for roofers, was responsible for the opening of that first mine.Mr. Johns was given a piece of asbestos which had been found in Italy. He experimented with the material and then showed its surprising powers to his customers. After putting on a pair of asbestos gloves, which

30、 looked much like ordinary work gloves, he took red-hot coals from the fireplace and played with them in his hands. How astonished the customers were to discover that he was not burned at all. You can well imaging that he had increasing business in asbestos roofing materials. However, because it was

31、 very expensive to transport them from Italy to the United States, Mr. Johns sent out a young scientist to seek a source nearer home. This young man found great vein岩脉, in the province of Quebec in Canada.Ever since 1881 Quebec has led the world in the production of this unusual mineral, which is ma

32、de up of magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen. When it is mined, the asbestos is heavy, just as you would expect a mineral to be. When it is separated, a strange thing happens ;the rock breaks down into fine, soft, soapy fibers.Scientists do not know why the rock can be separated easily into threads

33、线, but they have found thousands of uses for this fireproof material, of the called the “cloth of stone.72The title that best expresses the main idea of this passage is _.AAsbestos mined in Canada B. Fireproof matterCA “Wonder mineral D. A new roofing material73. Johns proved his ability as a salesm

34、an by _.A. going into the roofing businessB. carrying asbestos from ItalyC. sending a trained scientistD. showing the use of asbestos gloves74. Which is the most important character of asbestos that the author wants to show us?A. It is like thread B. It feels soapyC. It burns easily D. It is unusual

35、ly heavy75. The authors main purpose in writing this passage was to_.A. show the need for more scientistsB. compare asbestos with other mineralsC. increase the sales of asbestosD. present facts about asbestos DThe great advance in rocket theory 40 years ago showed that liquid-fuel rockets were far s

36、uperior in every respect to the skyrocket with its weak solid fuel, the only kind of rocket then known. However during the last decade, large solid-fuel rockets with solid fuels about as powerful as liquid fuels have made their appearance, and it is a favorite laypersons 外行question to inquire which

37、one is "better". It all depends on the purpose. A liquid-fuel rocket is complicated, but has the advantage that it can be controlled beautifully. The burning of the rocket engine can be stopped completely; it can be re-ignited 点燃 when desired. In addition, the thrust can be made to vary by

38、 adjusting the speed of the fuel pumps. A solid-fuel rocket, on the other hand, is rather simple in construction, though hard to build when a really large size is desired. But once you have a solid-fuel rocket, it is ready for action at very short notice. A liquid-fuel rocket has to be fueled first

39、and cannot be held in readiness for very long after it has been fueled. However, once a solid-fuel rocket has been ignited, it will keep burning. It cannot be stopped and re-ignited whenever desired and its thrust cannot be varied. Because a solid-fuel rocket can be kept ready for a long time, most

40、military missiles employ solid fuels, but human-piloted space flight needs the fine adjustments that can only be provided by liquid fuels. It may be added that a liquid-fuel rocket is an expensive device; a large solid-fuel rocket is, by comparison, cheap. But the solid fuel, pound per pound costs a

41、bout 10 times as much as the liquid fuel. So you have, on the one hand, an expensive rocket with a cheap fuel and on the other hand a comparatively cheap rocket with an expensive fuel.76. Which of the following is inferred from the passage?A. Rockets using liquid fuel was not available 40 years ago alth
