Then, by accident, twenty-six African bees escaped and bred with the Brazilian bees outside. Scientists could not control the problem. The bees spread. They went from Brazil to Venezue
112、la. Then they went to Central America. Now they are in North America. They travel about 390 miles a year. Each group of bees, or colony (群体), grows four times a year.

The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising. Why
117、is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that ?repeated advertising increases product sales. Since it increases production, the price can be reduced. Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper.Advertising is now a
118、scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I dont know which half. Now, all parts of an advertising programme are properly measured and researched.What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising
119、in the past sixty years. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Todays advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the readers attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained
120、in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humour is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name
121、 of the product.52. The purpose of advertising is _.A. to increase product sales B. to make a product much better C. to spend more money D. to reduce the production53.

Now their appetite (胃口) is back and they are eating more cheese than ever. Most of the demand is being fed by household s
137、uppliers, and Californias mega-dairies (大制酪场) are growing so fast that experts expect the state to overtake Wisconsin in cheese production within two years. California is already the nations leading milk producer, and with the help of cheese makers like Hilmar Cheese Companythe largest in North Amer
138、icathe state has doubled its cheese production in the last ten years. In 1995, California made 70 varieties of cheese. Now there are 250 types of cheese coming out of the state. One in every 10 pounds of cheese eaten is a higher-quality, value-added cheese. Ten years ago, only one in 15 pounds of ch
139、eese eaten was a specialty. Most of it is common cheese, but Americans are also eating much more cheese. It is good news for Californias dairies (牛奶场). By pooling their resources, farmers could turn some of the high-protein, high-fat milk coming from their brown cows into cheese, a value-added produ
140、ct that would bring in a little extra cash. When they started the Hilmar Cheese Company in 1984, the 12 families together brought in 250,000 pounds of milk a daya drop in a bucket for a company that now processes (加工) 10 million pounds of milk a day from more than 270 producersabout 10 percent of al
141、l the milk produced in California. Cheese has great healthful value, and brings calcium (钙) back into diets. But it also makes food taste better, making it easier to eat too much. “Its terrible that were eating more cheese, but bottom line, all calories count,” said Stern, who also suggests people s
142、hould try to eat cheese in different ways, with pears or apple slicesexpanding their diets.47. The passage is written to tell us _.A. dairies are developing very fastB.

More than half of the worlds books and three quarters of international mails are in English. Of all languages, Englis
146、h has the largest vocabulary perhaps as many as two million words. However, lets face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which arent sweet, are meat. We take Engli
147、sh for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers dont fing, grocers dont groce, and hammers dont ham? If the plural (复数) of tooth is tee
148、th, shouldnt the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites（相反）? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather
149、be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next? English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. Thats why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it;

ABCDA16、 （河南省郑州市盛同学校高一第一次月考）We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed ability teaching. On the cont

It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not sobright children. After all, it can
154、 be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic
155、 ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills and we find that mixedability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate to share, and they deve
156、lop leadership skills. They also learn how to deal with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they wor
157、k on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is proper. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: i

182、e faced this question the hard way.A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually wont make the effort to clean or organise it. This doesnt mean that a woman has to do all the housework:; she may have to manage many of the household duties, and request her partners participation（参与）. A woma
183、n can often say that men and women should take equal responsibility（责任） for housework.Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework, and many men look on housework as womens work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, make repairs and complete projects on wee
184、kends or evenings, and its important that you give your man appreciation for those things, too. Most men will take on a little additional housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely to do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored
185、. Heres the key: men want to feel that they are doing housework either because they want to do a task, or because they simply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and unimportant. In other words, men are likely to do a household
186、task just for the good of the house.71.
