24、f 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record.Jeanne Calment is now in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her being “more like a 90-year-old in _50_ health” than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of _51_ .When asked on her 120th
25、birthday _52_ she expected of the future, she replied: “A very short one.”So what is the key to a _53_ life?

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one
31、that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just become motherless. Her pink clothes are bloodied and her eyes stare at something only she can see. She has suffered from a bombing near her home
32、 in southern Iraq.Every day we see images like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of belongings
33、 almost the same size as their small bodies as they flee their homes in Baghdad.They represent just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by the ongoing war. And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children. “Dad, why are the Americans striking us? Are we going to be
34、 killed?” asks the son of Abu Sinar, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.He tries to comfort him by saying: “The bombs are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. Were going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows this isnt always the
35、 truth.In southern parts of the country, like Iraqs second largest city, Basra, the United Nations International Childrens Emergency Fund is working to repair the damage caused by fighting. The organization is working to provide clean water and restore electrical power, said Geoffrey Keele, a UNICEF
36、 spokesman.But little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape the sound of exploding bombs. And all the schools are closed.“All they can do is listen to and hear the war,” said Keele. “There is suffering in Baghdad. It is clear that the bom
37、bing is affecting the mental well-being of the children.”Despite UNICEFs efforts, dirty water is being blamed for cholera outbreaks in southern Iraq. Diarrhea is spreading among the children, sometimes leading to death.Nearly 50 percent of Iraqs population is under 15 years old. And 30 percent of th
38、em already suffered before the war from malnutrition, according to international aid organizations. Now the situation is worse, but continual fighting makes it impossible to count the number who are hungry, sick, injured or even dead.65 The underlined word diarrhea” in the last paragraph but two mus
39、t be _A. a kind of horrendous foodB. a kind of infectious diseaseC. a new toyD. a piece of terrible news66. Parents give their children sleeping pills _.A. to get rid of the terrible sound of exploding bombsB. to help children to go to sleep because they are very tiredC. in case their children shoul
40、d be frightened by the sound of exploding bombsD. so that their children would not have their hearing harmed67. What is the writers attitude towards Iraqi people in this article?A. The writer loves only the children of Iraq.B. The writer wants to know more about how many people will go hungry or eve
41、n die.C. The writer shows sympathy for Iraqi people. D. The writer will help Iraqi people to get over any difficulty(B) Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children. If Dick Drew had lis
42、tened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea.
43、 Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas. Creativity is not something one is just bo
44、rn with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something. Unfortunately, schools have not tried to enco
45、urage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can not recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know
46、the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems. It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if its choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making help
47、s thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important character of creative
48、people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.68. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake?A. They encouraged people to work a longer time.B. They discouraged people from thinking freely.C. They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.D.
49、 They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and improving new ideas.69Creativity is something _.A. that people are born withB. that depends on intelligenceC. that is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problemsD. that is not important at all70. What should th
50、e parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?A. Try to help them as much as possible.B. Take no notice of whatever they do.C. Help them if their decision is wrong but not too much.D. Leave them as they are.71. This passage mainly deals with the question of _.A. what is the key to
51、 a brighter futureB. what creativity isC. how schools and parents can encourage creativity in childrenD. whether schools and parents should allow children to make choices and decisions (C) Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places tha
52、t are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a coun
53、try keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of
54、 the countrys economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For
55、 example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to
56、 the hotel, electricity, sewers (阴沟) to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.72. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?A
57、. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.73.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _.A. a bad impact on other industriesB. a change of tourists custo
58、msC. overcrowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic 74. It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will _.A. use up a large amount of waterB. weaken their economyC. help establish their traditions D. help improve their life75. The word handle in the last paragraph most pr
59、obably means “_”. A. carry away B. pick up C. get in D. take down (D) Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations , broken up by long dark ages in between. In his view, what is called the pre
60、sent time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men. However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted . Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But
61、 the next hundred ? The next thousand? The next million ? Thats much more difficult. When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. P
62、erhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply cant think of. So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two
63、 reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live on because we are careless or greedy or quarrelsome, our grandchildr
64、en will not bother to think of excuses for us. Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So
65、 set your imagination free when you think about the future.76. A particular mention made of Stapledons book in the opening paragraph _.A. serves as a description of human historyB. serves as an introduction to the discussionC. shows a disagreement of viewsD. shows the popularity of the book77. The t
66、ext discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that _.A. human history is extremely longB. life has changed a great dealC. it is useless to plan for the next 50 yearsD. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future78. Spundels and ballalators are use
67、d in the text to refer to _.A. tools used in farming B. ideas about modern lifeC. unknown things in the future D. hunting skills in the Stone Age79. According to the writer of the text, imagining the future will _.A. serve the interests of the present and future generationsB. enable us to better und
68、erstand human historyC. help us to improve farmingD. make life worth living (E)给下面的文章配上小标题；80. _ Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and cri
69、me patterns.81. _The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, and so do other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed
70、 between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.82. _Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary(盗窃) has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. The most uncriminal month of all? May - except for one strange statist
71、ic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.83. _ Apparently our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons w
72、hen people read serious books, attend scientific meetings and make the highest scores on examinations. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntingtons studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides(自杀) and ad
73、missions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!84. _ Possibly, high temperature and high humidity(湿度) bring on our strange and terrifying summer actions, but police officials are not sure. There is, of course, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder, they say, Why
74、 murders high time should come in the summertime we really dont know.A. Patter of murderB. Intellectual seasonal cyclesC. Cycle of crimeD. Possible explanationsE. Other patters of crimeF.
