Some expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time.
24、One such American expression is“Wheres the beef?” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s “Wheres the beef?” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was using it at the time. Beef, of course, is the meat from a c
25、ow, and this kind of food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Ray called his restaurants “ McDonald s”. Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America. Oth
26、er business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company called “Wendys” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonalds or anyone elses. The Wendys Company began to use the expression “Wheres the beef?” to make people know that Wendys ham
27、burgers were the biggest. The Wendys television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “Wheres the beef?” she
28、shouted in a funny way. The advertisement for Wendys hamburger restaurants was a success. As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression “Wheres the beef ?”51. _started Mc Donalds restaurant. ARay BMcDonald CWendy DThree old women52. Other people wanted to open hamburger restaurants becau
29、se they thought_. Athey could sell hamburgers at a lower price Bhamburgers were easy to make Cbeef was very popular in AmericaDthey could make a lot of money53Wendys made the expression known to everybody_. Awith many old women eating hamburgersBby a television advertisement Cwhile selling bread wit
30、h a bit of meat in it Dat the McDonalds restaurant 54. We can learn from the passage that the expression “Wheres the beef?” means_. Athe beef in hamburgers is not as much as it is said to be Bthe hamburgers are not as good as they are said to be Csomething is not so good as one says DWendys is the b
31、iggestB One night in March 1999, a man was driving from California to Oregon, US, to visit some friends. He had stopped his car to have some food when he started to hear strange noises. Turning on the headlights, he saw an 8-foot-tall creature covered in thick, dark hair. The creature stared at him
32、for a minute, turned in the road and walked off slowly into the woods. In the past 50 years alone, there have been thousands of reported sightings of similar creatures in the US, Canada, the Himalayas and even Hubei Province in China. The creature is known as bigfoot. Bigfoot is said to be a very ta
33、ll (between 2 and 4. 5 metres), ape-like(类人猿似的) creature that is covered in hair and walks upright on two legs. It is very wary(警惕的) of human beings.Believers think bigfoot is a direct descendent(后代) of ancient gigantopithecus(巨猿). But it remains one of the planets undiscovered secrets. There is a l
34、ittle evidence(证据) to support the believerstheory: traces of hair, footprints and body prints as well as the reported sightings. Some people have even showed what they say with photos or films of bigfoot. But so far, no one has found bones or any other definite proof that the giant creature exists.
35、As a result many people believe the evidence is just part of a big trick. The footprints are easy to make. As for the photos and films, they are just people dressed in ape suits.They also say the sightings are not real, just people making mistakes. For example, bigfoot could be a bear living in the
36、wild that sometimes stands up on its back legs.55.So far what we can be sure about is that. A. there exist savages(野人) in several places in the world B. there are some traces of hair, footprints and body prints of the“bigfoot” C. bigfoot is a direct descendent of ancient gigantopithecus D. all the b
37、ig foot discovered have the same look56.The article infers but doesnt say so that some peoplebigfoots existence. A. may fool the world into believing B. have definite evidences to prove C. refuse to believe D. will soon offer proofs of57. If bigfoot is just a misunderstanding, what they saw can NOT
38、be. A. apes B. bears C. ancient gigantopithecus D. people dressed in animal skinsC With the crazy smog going on in China, businessmen are now ready to grope(摸索) for your wallet. “Smog economy” is stimulating a shopping spree on certain products against the terrible weather. Now lets see what we have
39、 on the list to help us through the crisis. 1. Masks Well, I would say you had better stay indoors to save your lives. PM 2.5 just surged up to 750 in Beijing recently. 3M just sold 220,000 masks of a kind. No.1 best-selling products! 2. Air purifiers This kind of products is rarely seen in Chinese
40、households in the past. They have become a necessity now. I do like these little gadgets, but they are just too expensive. 3. Oxygen inhalers I didnt realize oxygen inhalers also get a cut in the smog economy. As a matter of fact, your oxygen uptake has nothing to with relieving (减轻) the impact of s
41、mog. It might even lead to oxygen poisoning when you inhale too much oxygen. So dont get greedy. 4. Salt lamps Compared to oxygen inhalers, salt lamps are even worse. Some stores are selling the products at several hundred yuan, saying that they can release negative ions(离子), reduce radiation levels
42、 and purify the air. The lamps mainly contain sodium chloride. The boiling point of sodium is about 800 degrees centigrade and that of candle is 500. So how on earth can negative ions be released at only 500 degrees? 5. Plants that absorb smog Yeah, right. Plants Vs Smog. It is scientifically justif
43、ied (证明) that some plants do absorb pollutants from the air. Money plants and calla lilies are among the best-sellers in the market. Even if they dont work, its good to have some plants in the house anyway.58. According to the passage, smog _. A. give some economic chances to businessmen B. is very
44、bad to economy C. makes some crisis come out D. have nothing to do with the economy59. What is the meaning of the underlined word? A. Giving up shopping. B. Feeling down in shopping. C. Having a lot to buy. D. Buying something enthusiastically.60. Salt lamps are useless, because_. A. it may cause po
45、isoning B. it actually cant release the negative ions C. it reduces radiation level and makes the air dirtyD. the prize is very high 61. How many ways does the author think are useful? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.D The Albinas married when Mr. Albina was 30, and they spent the early marriage in Argentina
46、. Then they decided to move to Chile, which meant they had to cross the Andes Mountains. They and their 20s sons made the difficult two-week journey on horses. One night there was a terrible snow storm in the mountains, during which Mrs Albina gave birth to triplets (三胞胎), a boy and two girls. Mrs A
47、lbina now has 30 more girls, including the twins who are 15 months old. The oldest Albina children are in their 30s and 40s. They are on their own now, but 18 of the kids still live with their parents in a two-room house. The house has electricity but no toilet or running water. Clearly, the Albinas
48、 dont have enough money and food for the big family. Why, then, do they continue to have children?The Albinas do not use birth control because it is against their religion. They can let other people take care of their kids, but Mrs Albina doesnt allow it. “When we were babies,” she said, “our mother
49、 left us at an orphanage and never returned. Then a couple adopted my brothers, and I was left behind. I was heartbroken. I promised that when I became a mother I would never give my children away.” So the Albina family continues to grow. They have so many kids that they run out of names and have to
50、 give some children the same name. There are three Susannas, three Miriams, two Estrellas, and two Soledades. Will the family stop at 53 kids? Mr Albina is 77, and Mrs Albina is 59. “I am getting old,” she said with a smile, “and I would like God to think of me and consider my age. But if God sends
51、more children to me, yes, there will be more.” 62. What is said about the children in the Albinas in the passage? A. Some children are raised by others.B. God sent the children to the Albinas. C. The children are all twins or tripletsD. Most of the children are independent now.63. It can be inferred
52、 from the passage that_. A. Mrs Albina experienced a hard childhood B. the Albinas would like to use birth control C. ten kids in the family share the same nameD. the Albina family has lived in three countries64. How old was Mrs Albina when the Albinas got married? A. 30. B. 25. C. 12. D. 18. 65. Wh
53、at is the attitude of Mr. Albina to continuing to have babies? A. He is very positive. B.He doesnt want to have more. C. He hopes God will give them more.
