29、showing once again that a fast economic rebound is possible when the virus is brought firmly under control.The Chinese economy 41 by 4.9 percent in the July-to-September quarter compared with the same months last year, the countrys National Bureau of Statistics announced on Monday. The robust perfor
30、mance brings China almost back up to the roughly 6 percent pace of 42 that it was reporting before the pandemic. Many of the worlds major economies have climbed quickly out of the depths of a contraction last spring, when shutdowns caused output to 43 steeply. But China is the first to report growth
31、 that significantly surpasses where it was at this time last year. The United States and other nations are expected to report a third-quarter surge too, but they are still behind or just 44 to pre-pandemic levels.Chinas lead could widen further in the months to come.

This pattern has created
35、jobs in China but placed a（n） 51 on growth elsewhere. Chinas economic recovery has also been dependent for months on huge investments in highways, high-speed train lines and other infrastructure. And in recent weeks, the country has seen the beginning of a recovery in 52 consumption. The well-off an

41、The three men sat in the truck, unaware of the hot Nevada sun. Their attention was focused on a fourth man, middle-aged, tall slender, and rather well dressed for the desert-like land of the Carson River Valley. Hewalked purposefully over the sandy soil, systematically covering the area of a gentle
42、rise. In his outstretched hands was a Y-shaped tree branch. “I feel silly about this,” one of the men in the truck said. “What hes doing is contrary to all my beliefs.”“Just you wait” one of the other two told him. “Then you wont feel so silly anymore.”At length, the man with the branch stopped his
43、walking. The stick he carried by the two ends of the Y no longer pointed toward the sky. Instead, it was pointing to the ground with a definite swinging motion.“Thats it,” one of the men in the truck called. He jumped over the side and ran toward the man with the stick. Within minutes, a stake had b
44、een driven into the ground at the point where the forked stick was pointing. Early the next morning，a drilling rig（钻机）lowered its bit into the earth at the same point and mechanical digging began. Less than twenty feet down, the drill stuck something the man who said he felt silly had been seeking f
45、or months: water.It had been an uncommonly dry summer, even for that part of Nevada. One well had gone dry, and livestock were thirsty. Previous attempts at well drilling had failed, government geologists and soil engineers had gone over the area with maps, testing equipment, and sounding device. Th
46、e best they could accomplish for the farmer was a gloomy series of dry holes. All the farmer had to show for his faith in men of science was a considerable drilling bill and a thirsty herd. He had felt silly because he had been pushed by desperation into listening to some of his neighbours who sugge
47、sted he try a water witch: the man with the forked stick.After the well was completed and-plenty water flowed forth, the farmer smiled nervously as he paid the water witch his twenty-five dollar fee. “It seems so crazy to be doing this,” he said. Perhaps part of the craziness came because the farmer
48、 was a university graduate, a teacher of science at a nearby high school. However, even odder was the water witchs request for anonymity. “I dont mind you telling people you had searched for water through the use of a diving rod,” the water witch had said, “but Ill be grateful to you if you dont men
49、tion my name in any way that gets into print. I dont think my boss would like it.”56. The farmer occasionally expressed the feeling that _.A. geologists would be able to do a better job. B. he was foolish to hire a witch to find water C. he firmly believed in water witching D. the water witchs fee w
50、as too high57. The phrase “At length” in the 4 paragraph can be replaced by _.A. immediately B. exactly C. eventually D. inevitably58. According to the passage, the farmers faith in men of science _.A. brought him innumerable benefits B. helped him to overcome difficultiesC. enabled him to maintain
51、his livestock D. made him waste a lot of money59. Before leaving, the water witch asked the farmer A. to hire him for any future well drilling B. not to reveal his nameC. to pay more for his service D. not to tell people how he searched for water（B）WALIS OF FAMEFamous fortificatlons around the world
52、THE GREAT WALLCHINAStretching from the shores of the Yellow Sea at Laolongtou in the east, curving around the top of Beijing and snaking across 5,500 miles of land to Lop Nur, the Great Wall of China, whose story began over 2,400 years ago Is undeniably an historic achlevement of engineering and hum
53、an effort to preserve political control over the population and keep out the invaders. HADRIANS WALLENGLANDStretching 73 miles, coast-to-coast across northern England, this wall was built in six years （AD 122-28）during the rule of Emperor Hadrian, and marked the northern limit of the Roman Emplre. A
54、lthough commonly thought to have been a line of defence to keep Anclent Britons, many historians belleve it may have been designed more to stop the stealing and illegal transportation of cattle. WALIS OF BABYLONIRAQThe legendarily beautiful city of Babylon on the banks of the Euphrates River was a m
55、ajor city in ancient Mesopotamia, which was famously protected from invading enemies by richly decorated walls, reputed to be strong and thick enough for chariot（二轮战车）races to be held on top of them. Sadly, the walls did not prove unaffected by time, neglect and conflict. THE BERLIN WALLGERMANYA con
56、crete barrier swiftly erected by the German Democratic Republic in 1961, the Berlin Wall physically divided the city, cutting off West Berlin from communist East Germany for 28 years, until being torn down in 1989-an event that marked the end of the Cold War.THE WALL OF JERICHOPALESTINEFeatured apoc
57、ryphally（虚构地）In the Bible（In which It collapses when the Israelites march around the city, blowing trumpets）, the Wall of Jericho did exist.

60、s?A. The five walls were built over long periods of time. B. Some walls stretch nationwide while others city wide. C. The walls were strong since they were made of concrete. D. Time, neglect and conflict caused the ruin of the five walls（C）Commuter trains are often crowded, and they frequently fail
61、to run on time. As if that were not bad enough, physicist Hondou published a paper in 2002 that gave commuters yet another reason to feel uncomfortable. Dr. Hondou examined mobile phone usage in enclosed spaces such as railway carriages, buses and lifts all of which are metal boxes. His model predic
62、ted that a large number of passengers crowded together, all talking, sending text messages, or browsing the web on their phones, could produce levels of electromagnetic radiation that exceed international safety standards. That is because the radio waves produced by each phone are reflected off the
63、metal walls of the carriage, bus or lift. Enough radiation escapes to allow the phone to communicate with the network, but the rest fills the inside of the carriage with bouncing microwaves. This sounds worrying. However, in a paper published recently, Jaime Ferrer and Lucas Fernandez-Seivane from t
64、he University of Oviedo in Spain, question the truth of Dr. Hondons findings They conclude that the level of radiation is safe after all.In their opinion, while each phone produces radiation that bounces around the car, the passengers absorb some of it, which has the effect of reducing the overall i
65、ntensity. Dr Hondous model, in short, was logical only in the case of a single passenger sitting in an empty carriage with an active mobile phone on every seat. According to Dr. Ferrer and his colleagues, Dr. Hondon overestimated the level of electromagnetic radiation. When one is sitting on a train
66、, they found, the most important sources of radiation are ones own phone, and those of ones immediate neighbours. The radiation from these sources far exceeds that from other phones or from waves bouncing around the carriage. And all these sources together produce a level of radiation within the lim
67、its defined by the ICNIRP, the international body that regulates such matters. People concerned about the effects of mobile-phone radiation are unlikely to take much comfort from Dr. Ferrers results. Indeed, Dr. Ferrer says he is surprised at how little research has been done in this area. Yet both
68、Dr. Hondons results and Dr. Ferrers are based on mathematical models. Their models make assumptions about the physical properties of train carriages and their passengers, and both assume that the radiation is regularly distributed rather than gathered into “hot spots”. But if the debate about the sa
69、fety of mobile phone is to be resolved, there must be less focus on models, and more emphasis on physical experimental data. 63. The paper published by Dr. Hondon make the commuters worried because _.A. he argues that commuter trains do not meet international radiation safety standards. B. he thinks
70、 that the radiation from mobile phones bouncing around in enclosed spaces is harmful.C. commuters fear that the metal walls of the railway carriage will threaten their health. D. commuters are afraid that a ban on the use of mobile phones on trains is approaching64. What is the commuters reaction af
71、ter learning about the new research by Dr. Ferrer and his colleagues?A. They dont worry about the safety of mobile phone any more. B. They expect Dr. Ferrer to carry out more researches in this areaC. They still have concerns over the mobile-phone radiationD. They find the results of all the researc
72、hes boring65. Dr. Hondons research and that of Dr. Ferrer share the following similarities EXCEPT _.A. their findings are developed from mathematical modelB. they focus on a single passenger in the empty railway carriageC. the models assume certain physical properties of train carriages and the pass
73、engersD. their models are built in a way that the radiation in the enclosed spaces is regularly distributed66. What is the authors attitude toward the research on the effects of mobile-phone radiation?A. He is surprised that too little research has been carried out in this area. B. He thinks that th
74、e most important thing for the researcher is to perfect their models. C. He is quite satisfied with the progress made so far.D. He thinks researchers have to depend more on physical experimentsSection C（4%）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the
