Most electronic greeting card sites give you a wide selection of choices and let you personalize your card.Unlike with traditional printed cards, you dont schlep（
17、拖曳）to a card store to make your selection, you dont fork out any money. Delivery is immediate; theres no postage required and you are not using paper.But the best thing about these card sites is that they animate and play music, which makes them very cool to kids.Most electronic greeting card sites
18、are similar in setup. Upon entering the site, you select a category of card that interests you. The next screen shows you a series of possible card choice. By clicking on one that appeals（有感染力）to you, the card will enlarge and may animate. If there is music with the card, it will start to play.Usual
19、ly there is place to click to see the second (inside) page of the card. The site then offers you ability to personalize the card you have selected; you may be able to change the proposal message or add to it. At some sites, you can even add voice, video or photos to the cards.Once you have personali

23、8The underlined word “available” (in Paragraph 2) means_.Ainteresting BbuyableCexisting Dable to be got or usedBEvery human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set
24、 themselves the opposite problemhow to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs（灯泡）and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus six buildings comfort
25、able.Some parts of most modern buildingstheaters and offices as well as classroomsare more than sufficiently（足够）heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recov
26、er heat, but the Universitys system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students and th
27、e larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working overweight male genius（天才）.59Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstown campus? The heat is supplied by_.Ahuman bodies, othe
28、r heat sending objects, and fuelBboth human bodies and other heat sending objectsCboth human bodies and fuelDhuman bodies60The technique of heat recovery is used_.Ato produce a special form of air-conditioningBto provide heat for the hot water systemCto find out the source of heatDto collect and reu

AA thin male who studies hard. BA fat female
30、 who studies hard. CA fat male who does not study hard. DA thin female who does not study hard.63A good title for the passage would be_.AMODERN BUILDINGS HEAT SYSTEMBA NEW HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM IN PITTSBURGHCA STRANGE OBJECT IN HEATING SYSTEMDRECOVERY OF BODYS HEATCWho are the most beautiful women in
31、 the world? Looking at the records, people might think Venezuelan women are. They win the Miss Latin America, Miss Universe, and Miss World contests more frequently than women from any other country. In Venezuela, the term “Miss” as in “Miss Universe” is an honored title.These days, people in some c
32、ultures consider beauty contests to be silly. They have tried to stop these contests, saying the contests treat women as objects and place too much importance on womens looks. But in Latin America, beauty contests are a source of pride. And in Venezuela, they are almost a national obsession（狂热）.Are
33、Venezuelan women really more beautiful than other women? “They are not really more beautiful here,” says Selena, who trains girls for the contest. “Its just that the girls here work harder and prepare more than anyone else.” Preparing for a contest is a full-time job that involves（包括）sixteen-hour da
34、ys for six months. Many of the women take a leave of absence from their jobs during the training period“If you dont take this seriously, you dont have a chance.” Selena says.The preparation takes many hours a day. The contestants stretch their bodies and practice their walks down the runway. They wo
35、rk on their speeches and practice answering questions such as, “Whom do you admire most in the world?” They starve to stay slim. They take classes to learn how to style their hair and apply makeup. Most of them grow their hair long and diet to lose at least 10 pounds. Many of them have their teeth s
36、traightened or have plastic surgery（整形外科手术）to straighten or fix other body parts.It isnt easy, and the contestants give up a lot for the contest. One Miss Universe winner immediately put on 20 pounds after the contest. She said the only thing she wanted to do after the contest was to eat. The cost i
37、s high as well. The training for the Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe contests can cost up to 60,000. Fortunately the television station that sponsors（赞助）the contest pays the costs of training the finalists. Yet most of the contestants say its worth the effort.64From the above passage we can infer t
38、hat Venezuela is probably _.Aa place where contestants from all parts of the world gather togetherBa city in America where beauty contest is heldCa country in Latin AmericaDa world beauty center65Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?AContestants have to stay away from their work fo
39、r a period of time before the contest.BOnly a few women won the contest without being trained.CBeauty isnt the only factor for a contestant to win the contest.DIts too much expense for individual（个人）to pay for the training for the contest.66Which of the following might not be done before Venezuelan

CThey have a lot of training both in walking and speaking.DThey have to pay a large amount of money for the contest. 67What is the best title for the passage?ABeauty Means Money.BVenezuelan Womenthe Most

The important thing is that they havent taken you to a horrible, disgusting, dirty place, full of hunger and disease. Its just a different place. So you
52、must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. Its just a different place. Its slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after youve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you
53、 look around and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills(风车) and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy and theyre all talking about what a wonderful time they had there.
