28、sion very difficult.But the experts found that there exits a close consanguinity(血缘) between giant pandas and black bears ,and so they decided to try to take blood from black bears in the zoo and transfuse it to Yong Liang.

The attack d
33、estroyed one of the worlds highest skyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing.Movie fans have become used to such events after years of Hollywood films showing disasters, terrorism and danger. The Empire State Building, the White House, New York City and even the American president himself ha
34、ve all been threatened (威胁) by terrorist attacks in these exciting films.The film True Lies, released in 1994 is considered to be a good example of this kind of movie.

41、out most people realizing it, there has been revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market which are capable o
42、f doing the work which used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors, or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word process
43、or and this percentage is growing fast.There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesing work for the boss. From a
44、managers point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another wo

48、 in office work over the last ten years is _A. the saving of time and moneyB. the use of computers in big companies C. the wide use of word processors D. the decreasing number of secretaries64.We can infer from the passage that with the use of word processors_A. some secretaries will lose their jobs
49、B. daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hoursC medical problems related to work with a VDU have increasedD. the British companies will make less money65. Which of the following statements is Not true?A. There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.B. The Briti

61、t were a living thing. He was the man who lived with my grandmother for thirty years. He was not my grandfather, but an Italian who came down the road one day, selling fruit in Florida.Jack stopped at my grandmothers house to sell her some oranges just a stone a throw from downtown Miami, and he was
62、 delivering her whiskey a week later. He stayed for thirty years. Jack hated the front yard because he thought it was against him. There had been a beautiful lawn (草坪) there when Jack came along ,but he let it wander off into nothing. He refused to water it or take care of it in any way.Now the grou
63、nd was so hard that it gave his car flat tires (轮胎) in the summer. The yard was always finding a nail to put in one of his tires or the car was always sinking out of sight in the winter when the rains came on.The lawn had belonged to my grandfather, who lived out the end of his life in an insane hos
64、pital. It had been his pride and joy and was said to be the place where his powers came.70. It can be inferred that the real reason Jack had problems with the yard was that_A. he didnt like the lawnB. the author s grandfather was against Jack working on the lawnC. the lawn was full of living thingsD
65、. he himself did not take care of the lawn71. We can learn from the passage that when the lawn belonged to the author s grandfather, it had been _.A beautiful B. worn out C. wasted D. full of nails72.

67、a date? Many people are afraid to assert themselves (insist upon their own rights) . Dr Robert Alberti , author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks its because their self-esteem (自尊) is low. Our whole set-up makes people doubt themselves, says Alberity. There s always a superior arounda pa
68、rent, a teacher, a bosswho knows better . These superiors gain when they destroy your self-esteem. But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people to assert themselves. They offer assertiveness training courses (AT). In the AT courses people learn that they have a right. to be th
69、emselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive（敢闯，闯劲力)L) without hurting other people. In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motivethe n
70、eed to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.73. In the passage, the writer talks about the problem that _ A. some people are too easy-goingome people are too
71、 easy-going B. some people are too timid C. there are too many superiors around us D. some people dare not stick up for their own rights74.

A good nights sleep generally makes a person happier in the morning. However, who appears in a diem is more important than what happens.Every person has a special dream character. If the special character appears in dreams, people are happier after sleeping. The moods of people affect their performance throughout the day. The less sleepy the people are, the better they perform, and usually they are more friendly and more clear thinking.
