At the end of the train, 71 mailmen sat sorting the mail. Inside the second car, there were only five mailmen and 128 bags full of five-pound notes. This train had run more than 100 years without being robbed(抢劫). At three minutes past three, Mills and his helper, David Whitby, saw a yellow warning light. They slowed the train, and then stopped. Whitby went to the telephone beside the track. It was out of order. Then he saw a man moving between the second and the third cars. Before Whitby cjould give a warning, he was knocked down by two men. Mills’cars with allthe mailmen had been disconnected by the robbers. At the bridge, the bags of money were unloaded from the train and thrown into waiting trucks. One of the robbers who obviously knew the schedules(时刻表) of all the trains kept looking at his watch. At 3:45 he said, “That will have to be enough.” The robbers drove away with more than 2,500,000 pounds.1.

Because they didn’t want to help the mailmen in the second car.C. Because the last eleven cars were separated from the front cars.D. Because they knew nothing about the robbery.4.

We often make mistakes in talking about good diet.For example, many people think that foods such as rice, bread and potatoes will make one grow fat. In fact, these foods are very good to one’s health. They are good sources of many vitamins. And in comparison with steak and beef, they contain less amount of calories.Some people don’t like canned(罐装的) or frozen vegetables, because they think fresh vegetables cooked at home are always better. This is again wrong. In fact, whether the vegetables are good or not depends more on how they are prepared. Overcooking, for example, destroys good qualities of vegetables. Vegetables cooked in too much water can use a large amount of vitamins.It is widely believed extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn’t make it function better.It is also wrong to say that vegetables grown in poor, worn-out soil are lower in vitamins than vegetables grown in rich soil. The vitamins in our foods are in the plants themselves. They don’t come from the soil. However, the minerals(矿物质) in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil.In short, there are many false ideas about nutrition. We need to correct them.1. This passage is mainly about_______.A. nutritionB. vitaminsC. vegetablesD. health2. Rice, bread and potatoes do good to people’s health mainly because_______.A. they make people fatB. there are lot of vitamins in themC. they contain less amount of calories compared with steak and beef.D. both B and C.3. Why don’t some people like canned or frozen vegetables? Because______.A. they think fresh vegetables contain less vitaminsB. they think fresh vegetables contain more vitamins than the canned or frozen onesC. they don’t think the canned or frozen vegetables are freshD. they don’t think the canned or frozen vegetables taste as good as the fresh ones4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Many people know almost everything about nutrition.B. Food such as rice, bread and potatoes make people fat.C. vegetables grown in poor worn-out soil may have the same amount of vitamins as vegetables grown in rich soil.D. extra vitamins provide less energy.5. The point of the passage is that______.A. the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soilB. people make mistakes when talking about good dietC. taking more vitamins than the body needs doesn’t make it function betterD. vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a large amount of vitaminsCDeath Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali(强碱) sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Bad water, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”---- the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising scenes, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable(变化的) parts of Death Valley is the Devil’s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.1. ______ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Badwater2. The present name of the valley comes from_______.A. an Indian nameB. the death of minersC. the local peopleD. a National Movement3. From the passage we can learn that______.A. no one had ever known the desert before the minersB. it’s still not easy to travel across the desertC. people can find gas stations, cafes and hotels in the desertD. people have changed the natural sight of the desert4. Devil Golf Course is famous for______.A. the frequent windB. the colors of the sandC. dream-like sightsD. the sand sculptures5. From the passage we can see that the writer_____ Death Valley.A. appreciatesB. is fearful ofC. dislikesD. is tired ofDMen usually want to have their own way. They want to think and act as they like. No one, however, can have his own way all the time.A man cannot live in society without considering the interests(利益) of others as well as his own interests. “Society”means a group of people with the same laws and the same way of life. People in society may make their own decisions, but these decisions ought not to be unjust(不公平) or harmful to others. One man’s decisions may so easily harm another person. For example, a motorist may be in a hurry to get to a friend’s house. He sets out, driving at full speed like a competitor in a motor race. There are other vehicles and also pedestrians (行人) on the road. Suddenly there is a crash. There are screams and confusion. One careless motorist has struck another car. The collision(碰撞) has injured two of the passengers and killed thethird. Too many road accidents happen through the thoughtlessness of selfish drivers.We have governments, the police and the law courts to prevent or to punish such criminal acts. But in addition, all men ought to observe certain rules of conduct. Every man ought to behave with consideration for other men. He ought not to steal, cheat, or destroy the property(财产) of others. There is no place of this sort of behavior in a civilized society.1. A man cannot have his own way all the time because________.A. he may have no interest in other peopleB. he has to share the same interest with the people in the same societyC. his decisions are always unjustD. his decisions always harm other people2. According to the passage, people in a civilized society should usually______.A. be honest to each otherB. be cautions in doing everythingC. behave in a responsible wayD. punish criminal acts3. The purpose of this passage is to_________.A. tell people how to behave in societyB. illustrate the importance of lawsC. teach people how to prevent criminal actsD. persuade people not to make their own decisions4. It is implied that there will be fewer road accidents if_______.A. the drivers are more considerate(体贴的) of other peopleB. there are fewer cars or walkers in the streetC. the motorists are not always in a hurryD. the passengers are calm but not confused before the accidents5. We can draw a conclusion that_______.A. the government should contribute more effortsB. the criminals should be more severely punishedC. man should be more strict with himselfD. man should have more and more similar interests 短文改错I am always interested in the traveling.
