A

There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel(轮子). This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.

For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that have as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.

In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.

The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions: the helicopter(直升飞机) in 1909, sound movies in 1926, the computer in 1928 and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon(尼龙) came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.

The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.

By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.

In 1969 man took his biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

61. Nylon came out nearly at the same time as __________.

A. the radio B. the camera C. jet planes D. movies

62. People can live long lives because __________to help people cure diseases have worked very well.

A. doctors B. new methods C. medicines D. new hospitals

63. Man didn’t have a desire to explore a lot____________.

A.at the beginning of 1800s B.in 1900s

C. since 1900s D.from 1800s to 1960s

64.By the 1960s____________________.

A. people had known everything about the world

B. there was not much to be explored

C. only the moon had not yet been known

D. the world as a whole was known to man

B

Pet owners are being encouraged to take their animals to work , a move scientists say can be good for productivity, workplace morale (士气), and the well-being of animals .
A study found that 25% of Australian women would like to keep an office pet. Sue Chaseling of Petcare Information Service said the practice of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets. “On the pets’ side, they are not left on their own and won’t feel lonely and unhappy,” she said. A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial (有益的) , while 27% experienced a drop in absenteeism (缺勤).
Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington. “My customers love them. They are their favorites,” she said. “They are not troublesome. They know when to go and have a sleep in the sun.”
Little black BJ has spent nearly all his two years “working” at Punch Gallery in Balmain. Owner Iain Powell said he had had cats at the gallery for 15 years. “BJ often lies in the shop window and people walking past tap on the glass.” he said.
Ms Chaseling said cats were popular in service industries because they enabled a point of conversation. But she said owners had to make sure both their co-workers and the cats were comfortable.

65.The percentage of American companies that are in favor of keeping office pets is _________.
A．73% B．27% C．25% D．15%
66.We know from the text that “BJ” __________________.
A．works in the Global Hair Salon B．often greets the passers-by
C．likes to sleep in the sun D．is a two-year-old cat
67.The best title for this text would be ____________ .
A．Pets Help Attract Customers B．Your Favorite Office Pets
C．Pets Join the Workforce D．Busy Life for Pets

If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.

The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.

It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.

I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

72. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Best Way to Get News B. The Changes of Media

C. Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Future of Newspaper

73. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______.

A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news

74. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?

A. Sports and international news. B. A menu of important news.

C. The most important news. D. What you are interested in.

75. From the passage, we can infer _______.

A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media

B. newspapers will stay with us together with other media

C. television will take the place of newspaper

D. the writer believe some media will die out

76. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means _______.

A. depend on B. compete with

C. fight with D. kill off

E

About 1966 or so, a NASA (美国航空航天局) team doing work for the Apollo moon mission took the astronauts near Tuba City．There the landscape of the Navajo Reservation (保留地) looks very much like the lunar (月亮的)surface．Among all the trucks and large vehicles were two large figures that were dressed in full lunar space suits．

Nearby a Navajo shepherd (牧羊人) and his son were watching the strange creatures walk about, occasionally being watched over by other NASA workers．The two Navajo people were noticed and approached by the NASA people．Since the shepherd and his son did not know English, they asked the NASA people who the strange creatures were．The NASA people told them that they were just men that were getting ready to go to the moon．The shepherd became very excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts．

The NASA officials thought this was a great idea so they provided a tape recorder．After the man gave them his message, they asked his son to translate．His son would not．

Later, they tried a few more people on the reservation to translate and every person they asked would chuckle (偷偷地笑) and then refuse to translate．Finally, with cash in hand someone translated the message,

“Watch out for these guys, they have come to take your land!”
