One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action — a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but “you’ve put a bug in his ear” — maybe now he’s not sure. If you’re a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”

Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to asked “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to catch a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.

When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him, “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” Shaw said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”

26. The passage tells us that some greetings such as “How do you feel?” __________.

A. show one’s consideration for others     

B. are a good way to make friends

C. are proper to ask a man in action       

D. generally make one feel uneasy

27. The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of _________________________.

A. a man working at his work                 B. a person having lost a close friend

C. a stranger who looks somewhat worried   D. a friend who is ill

28. The writer seems to feel that a busy man should _________________.

A. be praised for his efforts             

B. never be asked any questions

C. not be troubled                    

D. be discouraged from working so hard

29. “You’ve put a bug in his ear” means that you’ve _________________.

A. made him laugh merrily              

B. given him some kind of warning

C. shown much concern for him          

D. played a joke on him

30. George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his __________.

A. cleverness         B. cheerfulness              C. power and skills        D. politeness                          

Valentine’s Day is named for Saint Valentine an early Christmas churchman who reportedly helped young lovers. Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that.

More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container. Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year.

Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they sent each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love. Sometimes they also sent gifts, like flowers of chocolate candy. Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some used another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple and short “Jane, I love you very much”. Others say more. This one, for example, “Dan, Roses are red. Violets are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you. Forever. May.”

Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but USA Today is sold throughout the United States, and 90 other countries as well. This means someone can send a Valentine message to lover in a far-away city or town almost anywhere in the world. These messages cost 80 dollars and more. An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of Valentine’s Day message reach the one you love? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper.

Bacteria(細(xì)菌) are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or centimeters, bacterial size is measured in micron. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter; a pinhead is about a millimeter across, Rod-shaped bacteria are usually from two to four microns long, while rounded ones are generally one micron across. Thus, if you magnified a rounded bacterium a thousand times, it would be just the size of a pinhead, while a grown-up human enlarged by the same amount would be over a mile tall.

Even with an ordinary microscope(顯微鏡), you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a magnification of 100 times, one can hardly find bacteria. Nor can one make out anything of their structure(結(jié)構(gòu)), of course. Only by using special colors, can one see that some bacteria have wavy-looking “hairs” called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella move round a central point, pushing the bacteria through the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by their own power, while others can move along over surface by some little-understood “machinery”.

From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans. To a bacterium, water is as thick as molasses(糖漿) is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are affected by the movements of the chemical molecules(分子) around them. Bacteria under microscopes, even those with no flagella, often jump up and down in the water. This is because they knock with the water molecules and are pushed this way and that.

36. The underlined word magnified means _______________.

A. enlarged                                                      B. widened                  

C. killed                                                          D. caught

37. We know from the passage that _______________ is the smallest.

A. a pinhead                                            B. a rounded bacterium 

C. a microscope                                        D. a rod-shaped bacterium

38. The relationship between a bacterium and its flagella is most nearly like which of the following?

A. A rider jumping on a horse back 

B. A ball being hit by a bet

C. A boat powered by a motor    

D. A door closed by wind

39. Why does the writer compares water to molasses in the third paragraph?

A. To tell us how difficult it is for bacteria to move through water.

B. To suggest that bacteria are fond of different liquids.

C. To show different chemicals are of different structures.

D. To show that bacteria are the best swimmers.

40. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?

A. The characteristic (特點(diǎn)) of bacteria.      

B. How bacteria reproduce.

C. The various parts of a bacterium’s body    

D. How bacteria cause diseases.            

The Peppered Moth, a kind of insect, is found in England. It is light brown in color and likes to settle on trees which are also light brown. This makes the moth difficult to be seen and birds are less likely to notice and eat it.

But with the development of industry, smoke from factories began to reach the trees where the moth settled. It made the trees blacker. Then something very strange took place: in industrial areas, the Peppered Moth began to change color. It became darker as well. Although the change took several years, some scientists soon noticed that newly-born moths were a little darker than usual.

A scientist called Kettle Well decided to make a careful study of this. He marked some of the light moths and some of the darker ones, and set them free in the woods near Birmingham, an industrial city. Later he retarget as many the marked moths as possible ( The result was given in the chart ).

Kettle Well’s research was done in the early 1950s. Soon afterwards Britain introduced new laws to reduce smoke and factory pollution.

Can you imagine what would happen to the Peppered Moth as the air became cleaner again? 

1. The trees where the Peppered Moth settled changed their color because _____________________________.

A. the Peppered Moth changed its color

B. the Peppered Moth couldn’t be easily found on them

C. industry in England developed quickly 

D. the smoke from factories polluted them

2. The Peppered Moth began to change its color in industrial areas because   _____________________________.

A. it changed its color all the time   

B. it was fond of the color of its living place

C. it had to protect itself by doing so 

D. it was a special sort of insect

3. From the results of Kettle Well’s research, we can see that _________________.

A. many more of the light moths were killed or eaten

B. more than one-fifth of the light moths escaped being killed

C. three times as many dark moths were kept safe as light ones

D. more dark moths were killed in industrial areas

4. Kettle Well’s work gives us a good example of _________________________.

A. Air Pollution  B. Choice of Color   C. Laws of Nature  D. Changing Insects

5. As the air became cleaner, _________________________.

A. the number of the light moths increased

B. the total number of the light moths remained unchanged

C. more of the darker moths would be recaught

D. the darker moths changed into the light ones before long

Cars are too expensive for many people around the world to own. Not only that, many cities are already full of traffic, and many country areas have rough roads.

So   46          do people travel those distances that are too far to walk? They use public transportation. If you ride the subway or bus   47            you live, you can appreciate some of the benefits of public transportation. With many people   48            (share) one bus or train, there is less traffic and, more   49              （importance）, less pollution.

Which of the types of mass transit   50           (describe) below are you familiar with? If a regular bus can hold       dozens of people, imagine what a bus        51             (two) the size can hold! In Great Britain, there are many buses that are known as double-deckers (cars with two floors).

Buses in Haiti are often very crowded. It’s not   52            (common)         for passengers to actually sit on the rooftops. Buses are sometimes called “tap-taps”, because the   53             (ride) on the roof tap（敲擊）when they want to be dropped off.

Many large cities around the world take advantage of the space beneath the streets and run underground trains. People in Paris, Mexico City and Tokyo may use the subway system to get to school, to work, or to visit friends in other             54         (neighbor). Both the Japanese and French have developed        High-speed trains to link various cities. While electric trains in North America average 130 kph, the French TGV ( high-speed-train ) is the world’s fastest,         55               (average) over 270 kph!

My son and I were trying to sell the house we had repaired but in the barn(谷倉(cāng))there were bats(蝙蝠)and they would not leave. The barn was their home. They told us so in their own way. They hung there in the barn and seemed determined to stay for the season. Don’t worry about it, Dad, " Patrick said. They keep down the mosquitoes(蚊子).”

Unfortunately they also kept the buyers away. when we had asked a person to sell　the house for us he had refused to show it because of the bats. Bats are popular, “Patrick comforted me. They’re ecological(生態(tài)學(xué)的).”Isn’t there a machine you can buy that produces high frequency sounds to keep bats away?” “I don’t know,” said Patrick. But I like bats, and whoever buys this house will probably like them too. “Probably?” I hated that word. “How many bats are　there ,anyway?” “I counted about 90 last night,” said Patrick. “They were dropping out from under the edge of the roof.” “You mean there are more — outside?” “They’re everywhere, Dad. But look at it this way. When the cold weather comes, they’ll be off to Mexico. Maybe in the spring we can keep them out. Don’t worry about it,” he said for the hundredth time. “It’s not a problem.”

The bat expert I called was even more active than Patrick. I think you’ve got a large number there,” he said in wonder, I’ve been trying to attract bats to our house for 25 years. A single bat eats up his weight in mosquitoes and black flies three times every night. You’re a very lucky man.” I offered to share my luck with him. He could take them away. Bats have a remarkable homing instinct(本能),”he said, “They’d fly straight back even if I transported them 100 miles. Once they have settled, you can’t stop them from coming back.” I was silent.

Finally we managed to rent “(出租)the house to a young family, who were also interested in buying it. What about the bats?” I said to Patrick.

“Oh, they love the bats,” he said. “No mosquitoes. No black flies. It’s one of the things that attracted them.”

“Do you think they will really buy the blouse?”

“Probably.”

“Probably? Well, if they do ,I suppose I’ll have to admit that I was wrong.”

“You mean you’re going to eat your words?”

“Yes, I am.”
