This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods byshowing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to recorderor return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the mostefficient, allowing personnel （职员）and staffing assignments to be made accordingly.And they also identify preferred customer for promotionalcampaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop.

It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not.61. Greenhorn now refers to ____.A. a person who is new in a jobB. a new soliderC. a young horseD. None of above62. A person who has a green thumb is a person ____.A. who is good at growing plantsB. whose thumbs are in green colorC. whose garden is greener than others’D. who is younger than his neighbors63. The author is actually talking about ____.A. colorsB. languageC. politicsD. agriculture64. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.B. The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs.C. The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare.D. The green-eyed monster can be used to describe a person who is jealous.BI really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought that I would never have that sort of career.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to o ffer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too hard at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out.I was getting extremely tired and fed up because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I have got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career even if you aren’t top of the class at school.65. What is the author’s present job?A. Working part-time in a college.B. Taking care of children in a family.C. Helping children with their schoolwork.D. Looking after children at a kindergarten.66. When staying with the two girls’ family, the author _______.A. was paid for extra workB. often worked long hoursC. got much help from her bossD. took a day off every other week67. What has the author learned from her own experiences?A. Less successful students can still have a career.B. Qualifications are necessary for a career.C. Hard work makes an excellent student.D. One must chose the job she likes.68. What does the underlined sentence probably mean?A. The boss didn’t go out to work very often.B. The boss often failed to keep his agreement with the writer.C. The writer couldn’t go out to find another job.D. The writer seldom had any chance to work outside.CMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN（个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “ How will I live without them?”69. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system.B. The function of the PIN.C. A home for the future.D. Easy life in the future.70. What’s the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?A. To let readers know why his ideas are new.B. To let readers know how special his house is.C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.71. The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because________.A. it has been controlled by computersB. you can make a telephone call anywhereC. it has your favorite music following youD. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice72. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A. An IT expert.B. A famous doctor.C. An idealist （理想主义者）D. An experienced teacher.DThe days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society ---a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.“My grandmothers didn’t do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were program med to do that,” said Emils Comette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents’ way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.If you take into consideration feminism(女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.“The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an ol d woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn’t go,” said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.“The point of this is that we need a rest from alway s doing something for someone else,” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “We’re a ladies’ play group. It couldn’t be more simple,” added Cooper’s assistant Joe Heywood.73．From the text, we know that the “baby boomers” are a group of people who A．have gradually become more noticeable.B．are worried about getting old too quickly.C．are enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spend.D．tried living a different life from their parents when they were young.74．It could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are A．interested in raising money for social work.B．programmers who can plan well for their future.C．believers in equality （平等）between men and women.D．good at cooking big meals and taking care of others.75．Who set up the Red Hat Society ?A．Emily Comette. B．Ellen Cooper. C．Jenny Joseph.D．Joe Heywood.76．Women join the Red Hat Society becauseA．they want to stay young.B．they would like to appear more attractive.C．they would like to have fun and live for themselves.D．they want to be more like their parents.n 答案完形填空41-60 DADBC ADCDA BDCBD ADBCB阅读理解61-76 AABA DBAB CDAA DCBC。

Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last and would eventually lead to the oppsite-depression.1. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Agriculatural Trends of 1950’sB.

He had done his homework most of the time and once in a while he had skipped class(旷课).When he got to Furnell, he didn’t change his study habits. As a result he got a bad grade on the first test in chemistry--65 percent, or D. When the teaching assistant gave back his quiz, he also gave him some advice.“Look, Walter, I know you’re having problems with this course", Gordon told Walter,“Remember that the teacher requires attendance. In other courses it might be okay to skip class once in a while, but not in this one. A good grade in chemistry depends on attendance, good homework, and going to lab every week. If you continue to do the quize poorly, you’re going to have problems.”Walter thought about his advice a lot over the weekend.“The teaching assistant was serious. I'm doing poorly, and I might fail chemistry. In that case I would have to leave Furnell. I don't want to go home and find a job” From that weekend he started studying very hard. In addition, he started to do all his assignments and to go to lab every week. After a month, he was able to answer almost all the quiz questions correctly.“I'm happy to see that you're doing better in this course”the teaching assistant said to Walter.“Yeah, me too. It's a challenge(挑战) to study every afternoon when I felt like playing football or video games. But now I know that chemistry is not an impossible course."56.

Later in life whenever I got a promotion(提升), I'd call my father right away and he'd rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970,when I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, I don't know which of us was more excited.Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their loves not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity and nothing could have felt more natural.He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn't get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle with less than four wheels.Because of that motorcycle, I wasn't allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.60. I hugged and kissed my father at every opportunity,______.A. even though I hated to do soB. because I was told to do so by my motherC. as I was named president of the Ford Motor companyD. for I felt it quite natural to do so61.

My father was always proud of what I did. He was very pleased when I wona spelling contest at school.D. My father bought a motorcycle, but got rid of it because he fell off it sooften.CX-rays were first discovered by a German scientist, Wilhelm Konrad Rontgen, in 1895, almost by accident. He and several other scientists were experimenting with passing electric currents through certain gases in a special glass tube from which the air had been removed.One day Rontgen noticed that, even when the tube was covered with black paper, some strange kind of radiation was coming through and making a screen nearby glow. Rontgen could not see anything coming out of the tube, but then he discovered that if he put the screen in the next room on the other side of a closed door, the rays still seemed to affect it. The glowing screen showed that the rays could pass not only through black paper but also through wood.The next thing he found out was that if he put his hand between the rays and a photographic plate, the rays would print a shadow of the bony framework of his hand on the plate. In fact, the rays could pass as easily through the fleshy part of his hand as through the black paper, but hardly at all through the bone. So Rontgen made the first X- ray picture of a hand, showing just how the bones in the hand fit together.64.The screen didn't stop glowing even when ______.A. it was moved to the next roomB. it was moved to the other side of the roomC. the door was closedD. the black paper was removed from the tube65. Rontgen put his hand between the rays and a photographic plate in order to_____.A. stop the radiationB. make an X ray photo of itC. find out more about the raysD. see through the bones of his hand66. The rays proved to be incapable of passing through.A. woodB. fleshC. boneD. black paper67. From the passage, we know X rays are_______.A. invisibleB. changeableC. whiteD. brightDUnder normal conditions the act of communication requires the presence of at least two persons: one who sends and one who receives the communication. In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs of symbols which mean the same to the sender and the receiver.The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification, therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receivingcommunication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight, heating, and touch play the most important roles. Smell and taste play very limited roles, for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems of signs and symbols.Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry (模仿). Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communication visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags and flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as by handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of hand striking has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in common: they last only a short time and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space.68. The author explains he will deal with reception of communication first because______A. communication actually takes place when the message is receivedB. there are more means of receiving than of sending communicationC. reception of communications involves use of the sensesD. it is difficult to organize by typing the means of sending communication69. Persons who cannot see, hear, or speak are able to communicate through a systemof _____.A. gesturingB. handshakingC. backslappingD. handstriking70. The author specifically mentions that speech is _______.A. often used when communicating by touchB. necessary for satisfactory communication by gestureC. the only highly developed system of communicationD. the most developed form of communication based on hearing71. Which of the following statements about communication by touch is true?A. Touch is less important than taste as a means of communication.B. There is no well-developed system of communication based on touch.C. It is possible to communicate intelligently by touch alone.D. Touch must accompany visual communication.EMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer”and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You've got to want to write,”I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is neverrewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had not prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if ? I would keep putting my dream to the test-even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.72. The passage is meant to________.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career73. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small.74.“people who die wondering. What if?” ( Line 10, Para. 3) refers to “those______”.A. who think too much of the dark side of lifeB. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think a lot without making a decisionD. who are full of imagination even upon death75. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. the wonderland one often dreams aboutB. the bright future that one is looking forward toC. the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reachedD. a world that exists only in one's imagination完型（1）（1）、36—40 ADBCA 41—45 ADADC 46—50 BCCDB 51—55 CADBD完型（2）（2004年江苏）1-5BCADB 6-10ACDBB 11-15ACDBA 16-20CDBCA完型（3）NMET2002年(北京卷)1-5ADBCD 6-10ABCDA 11-15BACDB 15-20CDABC阅读理解答案：56—60 CACBD 61—65 DBAAC 66—70 CADDD 71—75 CADBD。

In their search for precision,scientists have turned to atomic clocks that depend on various vibrating atoms or molecules to supply their "ticking".This is possible because each kind of atom or

阅读和完型练习（3）I. 完型填空：30%What are the basic elements of good manners? Certainly a strong sense of justice is one; courtesy is often 36 more than a highly developed sense of fair play.A friend of mine once told me of 37 along o one-lane(单行道), unpaved mountain road. 38 was another car that produced clouds of choking 39 , and it was a long way! to the nearest 40 highway. Suddenly , at a 41 place, the car ahead pulled off the road. 42 that its owner might have engine trouble, my friend stopped and asked if anything was wrong." 43 , "said the other driver. " But you' ve endured my dust this far; I’ll 44 with yours the rest of the way." Another element of courtesy is empathy(善解人意) , a 45 that enables a person to see into the mind or heart of someone else, to understand the pain or 46 there and to do something to minimize it. A man 47 alone in a restaurant was trying to unscrew (旋松) the cap of a beer bottle, 48 he couldn't do it because of badly injured 49 . He asked a young busboy to help him. The boy took the bottle, turned his back 50 and loosened the cap without difficulty. Then he 51 it again. Turning back to the man, he 52 to make great efforts to open the bottle without success. 53 he took it into the kitchen and returned shortly, saying that he had managed to loosen it — but only with a pair of pliers (钳子).Yet another component of politeness is the ability to treat all people 54 , regardless of all status or importance. 55 when you have doubts about some people , act as if they are worthy of your best manners. You may also be astonished to find out that they really are. Courtesy is the key to a happier world.36. A. nothing B. anything C. something D. nobody37. A. walking B. running C. riding D. driving38.

The flight of the Spacecraft last week might help put some new words into orbit.One of them is a western media coinage used to refer to the Chinese astronauts. It s a combination of the Chinese pinyin “taikong”, meaning space, and the English “astronaut” , from classical Greek: "star sailor/navigator" , for people who was going into space as a career.In the Reuters and AP reports of October 15, "taikonaut" was used as a proper noun. For example:The long March 2F rocket carrying " taikonaut" Yang Liwei lifted off into a clear blue sky over the Gobi desert at 9 am and entered its orbit 10 minutes later.A Long March 2F rocket called the Shenzhou V—"divine ship" in Chinese —carried a single " taikonaut" named Yang Liwei, 38 , following Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American Alan Shepard in 1961.The word “taikonaut” is not a newly coined term. It first emerged in November, 1999, when China launched its first unmanned "Shenzhou I" spacecraft.At that lime, some English news media predicted that China would soon launch a manned space flight and created the word "taikonaut" for the Chinese astronauts. It was then borrowed by the Germans media.But it was left out of mainstream dictionaries, such as the Merriam- Webster Dictionary and Cambridge Advanced English Learner’s Dictionary.However, the launch of the "Shenzhou V" will most likely help boost its status since there is already a word referring specifically to Russian astronauts in the dictionary entry.An astronaut of Russian (or the former Soviet Union) is called a "cosmonaut", from the Russian "kosmonaut". The word was derived from classical Greek: "kosmonaut" (universal) and "nautes" . One might argue that "cosmonaut" is a Russian variation on the earlier word "astronaut" .On March 14,1995, US astronaut Norman Thagard became the first American to ride into space on-board a Russian launch vehicle, arguably making him the firstAmerican cosmonaut.And if this trend of coinage continues, more English variations for astronaut will appear as more countries are able to send their own astronauts into outer space, what would Western journalists call an astronaut from India or Africa? We'll have to wait to see.56. Which of the following best suits the passage as a title?A. Why to Create the Word "Astronaut"?B. Why to Make a Lot of Variations for "Taikonaut"?C. How to Tell a "Taikonaut" from an Astronaut?D. How to Call Astronauts from Different Countries?57. Which is the right statement in the following sentence?A. The word "taikonaut" was born with the launch of "Shenzhou V" spacecraft.B. Yang Liwei, Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard are all excellent taikonauts.C.The American newspapers such as Reuters coined the word "taikonaut".D. Some new words have widely been put into use with the launch of the “ShenzhouV” spacecraft.58. From the writer's point of view,______.A. lexicographers or dictionary compilers have also done a lot of things to helplaunch “Shenzhou V”B. the American astronaut Norman Thagard is not a cosmonautC.the words coined or to be coined for astronauts of different countries usuallyhave something to do with the name(s) of their countriesD. the reason why there will be more variations for the word astronauts is that more and more countries will be able to send their own astronauts into space59. What does the underlined word "coinage" mean in the passage?A. System of coins in use.B. Invention of word.C. New meaning of a word.D. Discovery of an old word.BThe 2003 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded jointly to Paul C. Lauterbur (USA) and Peter Mansfielf (UK), for their discoveries concerning "Magnetic resonance imaging (磁共振成像技术)". Imaging of human internal organs with exact and non-invasive(非侵入人体的) methods is very important for medical diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2003 is awarded to the South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee, "who in innumerable guises (伪装) portrays (描绘) the surprising involvement of the outsider." J.M. Coetzee's novels are characterised by their well-crafted composition, meaningful dialogue and analytical brilliance. But at the same time he is a careful doubter, ruthless (无情的)in his criticismof the cruel rationalism (唯理论) and cosmetic morality of Western civilization.A fundamental theme in Coetzee's novels involves the values and conduct resulting from South Africa's apartheid (种族隔离) system, which, in his view, could arise anywhere.The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2003 to Shirin Ebadi (Iran), "for her efforts for democracy and human rights. She has focused especially on the struggle for the rights of women and children. Her principal arena is the struggle for basic human rights, and she believes no society deserves to be labelled civilized unless the rights of women and children are respected. In an era for violence, she has consistently supported nonviolence. It is fundamental to her view that the supreme political power in a community must be built on democratic elections. She favors enlightenment (启迪) an dialogue as the best path to changing attitudes and resolving conflict.The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided that the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, 2003, is to be shared between Robert F. Engle (USA) , "for methods of analyzing economic time series with time-varying volatility(易变性)", and Clive W. J. Granger(UK), "for methods of analyzing economic time series with common trends.The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2003 jointly to Alexei A. Abrikosov (USA), Vitaly L. Ginzburg( Russia) and Anthony J. Leggett( USA). The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2003 has been awarded with one half jointly to Peter Agre (USA) , and the other half to Roderick Mackinnon (USA) .60. Paul C. Lauterbur (USA) and Peter Mansfielf's discoveries may likely deal withthe following.______.A. the skin diseaseB. the mad-cow diseaseC. the kidney diseaseD. the common cold61. The Nobel Peace Prize for 2003 was rewarded to Shirin Ebadi, because she madea special contribution to______.A. fighting against racismB. fighting against the Iranian governmentC. avoiding the Iraqi warD. fighting for the basic human rights62.

After graduating, she moved on to work as a secretary to a London solitor (律师) where she also became interested in flying. Amy began to learn to fly at the London Aeroplane Club in the winter of 1928-1929 and her hobby soon became an all-consuming determination, not simply to make a career in aviation (航空),but to succeed in some projects, which would demonstrate to the world that women could be as competent(能干) as men in hitherto(迄今为止) male dominated field.Her first important achievement, after flying solo, was to qualify as the first British- trained woman ground engineer. For a while she was the only woman G:E. in the world.Early in 1930, she chose her objective: to fly solo(fly by herself) to Australia and to beat Bert Hinkler's record of 16 days. At first, her efforts to raise financial (经济的) support failed, but finally Lord Wakefield shared the 600 pound purchase prices of a used DH Gypsy Moth(GAAAH) and it was named Jason after the family business trademark.Amy set off alone in a single engine Gypsy Moth from Groyson on May 5, 1930, and landed in Darwin on May 24, an epic flight of 11,000 miles. She was the first woman to fly alone to Australia.In July 1931, she set an England to Japan record in a Puss Moth with Jack Humphreys. In July 1932, she set a record from England to Capetown, solo, in a Puss Moth. In May, 1936, she set a record from England to Capetown, solo, in a Percival Gull , a flight to retrieve(gain again) her 1932 record.With her husband, Jim Mollison, she also flew in a DH Dragon nonstop from Pendine Sands, South Wales, to the United States in 1933. They also flew nonstop in record time to India in 1934 in a DH Comet in the England to Australia air race. The Mollisons were divorced in 1938.After her commercial flying ended with the outbreak of World War II in 1939, Amy joined the Air Transport Auxiliary, a pool of experienced pilots who were ineligible (不合格) for RAF service. Her flying duties consisted of ferrying ( carrying by plane) aircraft from factory airstrip (起落地带) to RAF (英国皇家空军) bases.68. What did Amy Johnson do after she graduated from Sheffield University?A. She became a secretary to a London solicitor.B. She went to the air force.C. She became the first female group engineer in the world.D.She began to leam to fly at an aeroplane club.69. Which of the following is false?A.Amy Johnson spent her childhood in Sheffield.B.In Amy Johnson's time, aviation was a male dominated field.C.Amy Johnson flew solo for several times.D. Amy Johnson was the first woman to fly alone to Australia.70. According to the passage, how many records Amy had set?A.Three.B.Four.C.Five.D.Six.71. How did Amy solve the financial problem when in early 1930 she chose herobjective: to fly solo to Australia and to beat Bert Hinkler' s record of 16 days?A. She successfully raised financial support.B. She shared the money necessary for the flight with her husband.C.A businessman shared the purchase price of a used plane with Amy's father.D. Her father gave her the money.ELipstick plays an important role in attraction and can even protect the lips from drying out in harsh weather. No wonder it's the most important thing in a women's cosmetics (化妆品) bag.Colouring the lips is certainly not a new idea. It was practiced as early as 3500 BC.In the past, a natural dye was used to paint lips. It was not until the 17th century that lipstick manufacturing really took off. The lipstick was made of mixtures that included pig fat and red sandalwood. It was kept in tiny pots and applied with a colouring stick.Lipstick was invented and first presented by Parisian perfumeries (香料商) in Amsterdam. But these " little red sausages" were less than practical. They were wrapped in silk paper and the ends had to be broken off before each use. They also did not come cheap.Over the years the sticks became less expensive and new colours were developed, But it was not until 1950 that lipstick accidentally was reinvented — this time by the Americans.Today there are so many types of lipsticks and shades that it is hard to keep track of them. Faced with many choices in the cosmetic departments, it is easy to forget that there is a whole science to manufacturing them.The basic materials are colours, oils and waxes. But they can contain up to 30different materials. Lipstick manufactures have to achieve a careful balance. "You need a thicker oil to make the lipstick last longer, but a thinner one to make it easy to apply, " says Comelis Riedel, product developer at Nivea Beaute in Hamburg.Different oils also provide protection for lips, preventing them from drying up. The waxes used in lipsticks must strike the right balance between strength and elasticity (弹性) . And up to nine different colouring matters could be needed to find the right shade.No one today need fear dangerous materials in lipsticks. A study by a leading German consumer organization found dangerous materials such as lead or cadmium, are hardly a problem any more — even in the cheapest products.Today, the question is whether to choose between a conventional lipstick or the newer, long-lasting variety.72. Lipstick plays an important role in women’s life because ______.A. it can show they are richB. it can show they are healthyC. they want to keep their body temperatureD. they want to be more attractive73. It can be inferred from this passage that ______.A. Americans were the first to use lipsticksB. lipsticks were colour less at firstC.modem lipsticks came out by chanceD. lipsticks have been made from the same materials74. The underlined phrase "keep track of" in this passage means______.A. findB. followeD. store75. We know from this passage that ______.A. lipsticks are much cheaper than beforeB. lipsticks are much harder than beforeC. lipsticks are more dangerous than beforeD. lipsticks are much safer than before参考答案第二卷（共35分）36.A nothing more than相当于only，“只不过”之意。
