26、was born when my father and mother were on their way to Nash, a lonely place where they were to meet with hardship and difficulties they both liked this land very much, which might have best explained why they moved from Missouri to such a town in western Kansas. They did most of their shopping in N
27、ash, but before Nash was built, they shipped at the little town of Moran, where there was a small grocery store.I remember when the railroad came to Nash, when the first telephones came, and the first cars. We lived six miles from town so we missed out meeting trains. My mother was sick when I was s
28、mall, so I did a lot of the household chores, even doing the laundry, as I was the oldest ,but I never worked outside with my five brothers. I remember going to school with my brothers. When we played basketball, we played outside, and the girls wore skirts and bloomers, and got along fine. I liked
29、spelling matches, and we competed with other schools once or twice a month.I married Herm Messenger, a farmer in 1971. Eleven children were born to us, four boys and seven girls, four dead at birth, one pair of twins, Paul and Pauline. However, Pauline died when she was nineteen months old. My first
30、 washing machine was operated by hand, pushing the handle back and forth. Later, I got a machine with an electric motor. My first machine with a wringer(绞拧机)was a kind of a joke, as Herm took it to the church, and put it on the Christmas tree for me. That might not be exciting to a housewife today,
31、but I thought it was!56. From the passage we can learn that the writers parents .A. had the first child unexpectedlyB. liked Missouri very muchC. had a hard time in NashD. had to shop a great deal57. What can we know about the author in the second paragraph?A. She saw for herself first trains, first
32、 telephones and first cars.B. She played, worked and went to school with his brothers.C. She enjoyed winning the spelling matches when at school.D. She did a lot of household chores when she was small.58. In the last paragraph the author suggests that .A. the way her husband put a wringer on a tree

34、jury is set to be awarded 1.75 million. Fourteen-years old George Currie, from Dalkeith, was living in County Durham with his parents Allister and Paula at the time of the accident in September 1993. George, who was then three years old, was riding his small tricycle along the pavement when he lost
35、control and swerved on to the road into the path of an on-coming taxi. The drivers insurance company has now accepted responsibility for the accident and New Caslte Counrt is expected to rule on the payout on Monday.Top 10 Boating accidents reduce Florida counties with the Lee and Collier counties t

37、 Teens react to new law on driving permit Lawmakers may hope to make teenage drivers drive more safely, but some local teens behind the wheel feel angry following the passing of Senate Bill 36 last week. SB 36 is a law that limits times new teen drivers can drive and the number of passengers they ca
38、n carry. Road accidents take costly toll Traffic accidents kill more than one million people each year, injure tens of millions more and cost developing countries twice as much as they receive in international aid, the leader of a research body said Wednesday. The figures have led experts to form an
39、 international road safety network to choose the most important research areas, inform policy makers and help develop ways to prevent accidents, particularly in poor nations.59.

41、 They joined hands in reducing accidents.61. Which passage would give more information on the prevention of road accidents? A. B. C. D. CThroughout history soldiers have fought bloody battles in order to control the high ground. There is no doubt that this is a tactical (战术的) necessity. Standing abo
42、ve your enemy is an advantage that often leads to victory. Nowadays, high ground does not just mean hill-tops. It also means space, which has become an increasingly important part of military strategy (军事战略). With its more advanced satellite technologies, America is the major power in space. And now
43、 the US Air Force has put into service a new weapon designed to jam enemy satellite communications. It is an important step toward US control of space.The so-called Counter Communications System(反卫星通信系统)was declared operational on November 1. The ground-based system uses electromagnetic radio freque
44、ncies (无线电磁波) to stop enemy satellites working on a short-term basis.“A short-term effect ensures that during the time of need, the enemys space-based capability (能力) is reduced,” said a US military official. “Following the time of need, their capabilities can return to its original state.”The syste
45、m is made up of an antenna (天线), transmitters (发射机) and receivers and can be easily transported around in a vehicle.To control space was one of four aims of a national space policy started by former president Bill Clinton in 1996. The goal is to make sure US forces can rely on space-based services a
46、nd to deny an enemy any similar benefits.The US military has experimented with several “anti-satellite” weapons, including lasers, to destroy or damage enemy units.Theresa Hitchens, vice president of the Centre for Defence Information in Washington, welcomed the new system as long as it does not cre
47、ate rubbish that could threaten global use of space. She believed it should not destroy satellites, only stop them working for a while. Unfortunately, it seems that we are not going to limit our goal for space control to non-violent systems,” she said, raising the danger of a space arms race.To chan
48、ge the balance of power in space the EU and China are working together on the Galileo project. By 2008 the system will be in place as an alternative to the Americans global positioning service. 62. Whats the significance（意义）of the Counter Communications System to the US?A. It can help avoid bloody b
49、attles. B. It can bring the US closer to its goal for “space control”.C. It can ensure the US forces to depend on space-based services.D. It can destroy enemy equipment.63. How does the new system work? It affects the enemy by _.A. being transported around easily in a vehicle B. controlling the high
50、 groundC. damaging them D. blocking their satellite communications64. One thing that seemed to worry Theresa Hitchens is that the new weapon _.A. could increase the danger of a space arms race B. is not effective enoughC. is not threatening enough D. might produce dangerous waste65. What can we infe
51、r from the passage?A. New space weapons may be on the way.B. The US military have never stopped experimenting with anti-satellite weapons.C. The Galileo Project, when in effect, can match the Counter Communications System in power.D. In future wars, space battles will decide humans fate (命运).DMicrow
52、aves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people? Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier of th
53、e Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (贯穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects. To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a
54、standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm. ) ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount
55、 of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw. / sq. cm. In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector would turn on the magnetron, filling th
56、e room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate its on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treatin
57、g it with a radiation-absorbing chemical. ) While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently
58、lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.66. Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage? A. A new heating system.B. A new microwave oven. C. A popular technique.D. The magnetron.67. According to paragraph 2, which of the following does not describe the chara
59、cteristics of a microwave heater? A. It directly heats people in a room.B. It heats walls and furniture in a room. C. It is safe.D. It saves energy68. The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about_. A. 20 mw. / sq. cm.B. 40 mw. / sq. cm.C. 60 mw.
60、/ sq. cm.D. 85 mw. / sq. cm.69. According to paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves? A. The magnetron.B. The motion detector. C. The microwave oven.D. The radiation-absorbing chemical.70. Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler mo
61、st probably agree with? A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners. B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable. C. Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers, who wish to protect theirlambs in winter.D. Microwave heaters cannot be accepted b
62、y the public because they are somewhat unsafe.EJust five hundredths of an inch thick and light golden in color, the Lays potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global control. But its maker, Frito-Lay doesnt think so. “Potato chips are a snack food for the world, ”said Salman Amin, the companys he
63、ad of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the attractions of a Frito-Lay potato chip. Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America owned by PepsiCo and accounts for over half of the parent companys $3 billion profits every year. But the US snack food ma
64、rket is largely saturated(饱和), and to grow, the company has to look overseas.Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first, a global product offers economies of scale(规模) with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. “Global” does no
65、t mean products that are consciously regarded as American, but ones that consumers, especially young people, see as part of a modern, innovative (创新的)world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for example,
66、do not know that Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the companys research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business. With brand concept a key factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo(标识). The logo
67、, along with the companys long-held marketing image of its chips, would help make the companys global development very easy.The managers admit that they try to change national eating habits to a food created in America, but they dont think that means economic imperialism(霸主). “Were making products i
68、n those countries, were adapting them to the tas5tes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, Pepsicos chief manager.71. Amin believes that A. people all over the world enjoy eating their potato chipsB. the light golden color increases t
69、he attraction of their potato chipsC. they must find new ways to promote sales in their countryD. potato chips can hardly control the world market72. What do we learn about Frito-Lay from paragraph?A. It gives half of its profits to its parent company every year.B. It needs to turn to the world mark
70、et for development.C. its products used to be popular among overseas consumers.D. its development has caused fierce competition in the snack market.73. one of the concepts on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is .A. consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brandsB. products sui
71、ting Chinese consumers needs bring more profitsC. local brands cannot compete successfully with American brandsD. products identified as American will have promising market value74. why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned?A. To suit changing tastes of young consumers.B. To compete with oth
72、er American chip producers.C. To change the companys long-held marketing image.D. To promote the companys strategy of globalization.75. the passage mainly talks about .A. Frito-Lays global marketing ideaB. Frito-Lays sale conceptC. why Frito-Lays chips are popularD. how to enjoy Frito-Lays chips第二卷（
