It cant be seen or hear
26、d, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cant detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we cant sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves
27、, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells(细胞) in important organs(器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is compl
28、etely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce them
29、selves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time tha
30、t damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated（受放射线照射）and feel fine, then die of cancer five, the, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.56.
31、According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in_.A. nuclear mystery B. radiation detection C. radiation level D. nuclear radiation57. Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level _.A. when it kills few cellsB. if it damages few cellsC. though the damaged cells can rep
32、air themselvesD. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves58. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _.A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage cells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of our younger generat
33、ionD. lead to all of the above results59. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized(过分强调).B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.D. Radiation can hurt those who
34、 do not know about its danger.BHow to Select Home Computer Computers are very versatile (多才多艺的). They can do many things: teaching, playing games, or helping with a business, so choosing a computer is not an easy, simple job. But if you follow these steps, you will find it easier. First, decide on t
35、he main reason why you want a computer. Is this computer very useful for you? Is it the most important reasons to play games or to help with your business or to help with your school work? Second, look carefully at the programs the computer can use. Some people also write their own programs. If you
36、want to write your own, it is important to look at the computer language. Is it easy to learn? Third, decide the smallest, or the least needs you have for your computer. What are the characteristics (特性) yon would like to have? For example, do you want a typewriter keyboard (键盘)? Is a color display
37、(显示器) important to you? Your use of a computer will help you decide which characteristics are necessary, which are nice, and which are unnecessary. Fourth, when you have limited your choices to few computers, look at the secondary (次要的) uses and programs. For example, if your main reason for buying
38、a home computer is to play games, you may take computer A instead of computer B because computer A can also be used as a word processor (文字处理器). Fifth, think of the prices, there are prices to think about. The first is the price you must pay to take the computer home. The second is the price of addi
39、tional programs and possible additions (附件) that you might want to buy on a later date. Be sure to try out the computer before you buy it. Sales people at computer shops are happy to help you choose the computer that will best fit your needs and cost you least.60. How to select a home computer. Here

A. computers are very expensive B. computers can be used in many ways C. computers are very good to play with D. computers are very cheap62. You should take _ step before you buy a computer.
41、A. five B. six C. four D. seven63. Which step is the most important for you to buy a good computer? A. The first step. B. The last step. C. The fifth step. D. The second step.COnly a hundred years ago, people seldom traveled far out of their birth place. Books were very expensive and there were few
42、national newspapers and no radio or television. In fact, most people spent their time talking and listening. Only a very small quantity of reading and writing went on and many people were unable to read or write. For this reason, native dialects (方言) grew up and people spoke the way their parents an
43、d grandparents spoke. A woman from Cornwall who traveled just as London would find herself in a place where people spoke what was almost a different language. Sometimes it is hard to take in just how much things have changed. You are used to owning books and having them around, to reading magazines
44、and newspapers and to a choice of national television and radio programs. You, and everyone around you, are used to traveling not just in the British Islands but all of the world. Modern science has changed our life and distances have been made shorter. It might have taken that Cornwall woman three
45、days to travel to London. now it takes less than two hours by air, less than four by train and less than six by road. The result of this is that the language we use is becoming more national and the dialects are dying out. Writing, printing and broadcasting have speeded up this change as one dialect
46、 has come to be used by more and more people. This is the dialect called standard (标准) English which was first used outside London in the south and east Midlands. 64. From the information given in the passage we know that a century ago_A. people wouldnt like to leave their birth placeB. there were n
47、either books nor newspapersC. not many people could read and writeD. people learned to read and write from their parents and grandparents 65.

48、n people used a very difficult languageD. she could hardly understand what London people spoke 66. Things have changed so much that people are not used to _ any moreA. watching TV and listening to the radioB. reading books and magazinesC. traveling just within the British IslandsD. traveling the wor
49、ld over 67. The reason that may explain why the English we use is becoming more national is that_A. distances have been made shorter by modern scienceB. it makes a Cornwall woman less time to travel to LondonC. the capital of England has been moved to a place near CornwallD. speaking dialects is not
