　　A When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems. How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me. “Yes,” I said. “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young?” “Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “ I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where’s a phone box?” “Oh!” he said, “there’s a phone downstairs.” When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me. “ Don’t worry,” she said to me, “ I had so many difficulties at first.

The writer wanted________. A. to buy a ring for his friend B. to make a call to his friend C. to go to the telephone company C. his friend to see him off 59. From the passage , we can see that “give somebody a ring”______. A. means the same in America as in England B. means “call somebody” to the old man C. means “be going to get married” D. has two different meanings in America and in England 60. In the last paragraph, the word “they” refers to _______. A. the old man and the boy B. the Americans C. the British D. the French B Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world — Japan Los Angeles, Turkey—rats will soon be man’s new best friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces.

　　So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat. How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “ ‘Robot’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity! The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “ It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building(but only after an earthquake, of course). 61. In the earthquake capitals of the world, rats will become man’s best friends because they can _______. A. take the place of man’s rescue jobs B. find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings C. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings D. get into small spaces 62. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person alive by _____. A. the noise made by the rat B. the rat’s unusual behavior C. the signal sent by the radio on the rat’s back D. the smell given off by the person 63. In doing rescue jobs,_______.

　　A. rats smell better than dogs B. dogs don’t need to be trained to smell people C. robots’ sense of smell can be affected by other smells around D. rats can see in the dark and are smaller than robots 64. Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that ______. A. they are more fantastic than other animals B. they are less expensive to train than dogs C. they don’t need electricity D. they are small and can get into small places 65. After reading the passage we can know _______. A. at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people B. the “rat project ” has been completed C. people are now happy to see a rat in a building D. now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues

　　C Many of the world’s pollution problems have been caused by the crowding of large groups of people into the cities. Supply for the needs of the people leads to further pollution. If the rapid increase of world population in countries continues at the present rate, there may be much greater harm to human beings. Some scientists speak of the increase in numbers of people as “population pollution”. About 2,000 years ago, the world population was probably about 250 million. It reached a billion in 1850. By 1930 the population was two billion. It is now three and a half billion. It is expected to double by the year 2010. If the population continues to grow at the same rate, there will be 25 billion people in the world a hundred years from now! Man has been using the earth’s resources more and more rapidly over the past years. Some of them are almost used up. Now many people believe that man’s greatest problem is how to control the growth of the population. The material supplies in the world will be far from enough to support the human population, if the present rate of increase continues. Already there is overcrowding in many cities and starvation in some countries. Should man’s population keep on growing so rapidly as before? Many people believe that human survival in the future depends on the answer to this question. 66. The rapid increase in population is considered to be _____.

　　A. an increase of resources B. population pollution C. the development of mankind D. the present rate 67. The world population will be _____ by the year 2010. A. 7 billion B. 250 million C. 25 billion D. 3.5 billion 68. It is very important for us _____. A. to use the materials in the world B. to move into cities C. to control the growth of our population D. to support the human population 69. If the present rate of increase continues, _____. A. the world is going to end B. the earth won’t be able to support the growing population in the future C. pollution will have nothing to do with the rapid increasing population D. there would be four billion people in the world a hundred years from now 70. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. In 1850 the world population reached a billion. B. Man must fight a battle against population pollution. C. The world’s population is increasing with years. D. All of the earth’s resources are gone now.
