Even if you are a good high-jumper, you can jump only about seven feet off the ground. You cannot jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity.
You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you.
Since there is gravity, water runs down hill. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down. Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋转) around.
Then, can we get away from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because spaceships have been invented. Then spaceship will go so fast that it can escape (逃出) the earth’s gravity and carry you into space.
56. In this passage, the word “gravity” means_________.
A. the pull of everything.
B. the force of attraction among objects.
C. the force which attracts objects towards the centre of the earth.
D. the force which attracts the earth towards the sun..
57. When you slip(滑) you always fall to the ground because
A. the earth always turns round. B. the earth has gravity

C. it can let you fly away from the earth. D. it can keep everything on earth.
59. Because of gravity,_________.

Baths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a water system(系统) for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.
Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700’s has also become popular in the United States.
For many years frequent(经常的) bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided, and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!
By the 1700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.
In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were know as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city , for example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days! That was a law!
Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bathe once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential (=necessary) to good health.
61. A water system for baths was built by________ over 3,000 years ago.
A. the Romans B. the Greeks C. the Americans D. the Europeans

In the early part of the twentieth century, racism was widespread in the United States. Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment. Marian Anderson (1897-1993) was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood. When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was turned down because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for church gatherings. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.
Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75 000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist to sing win the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years”. She was a US delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977. Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.
69. According to this passage, what did Marian Anderson do between 1917 and 1929?

Dear Miss Wilson,
I was delighted to learn that your parents are coming to visit my town. I think Peace Hotel is a good place for them to stay in during their visit here.
The hotel is well-known for its good service. The staff are friendly and they speak English well. They also organize sightseeing tours. Since all the rooms are on the 9th and 10th floors, the guests can enjoy a good view of the city. However, the hotel can be noisy at times since it is in the city center.
I hope this answers your question. I would be pleased to meet your parents at airport when they come.
Best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
Li Yue
