Scientists are developing a new kind of machine to take the place of humans.These machines can do jobs in places that are too dangerous for humans.For example,they are being developed to work in nuclear power center,deep under the oceans and in outer space.
John Marrit,a psychologist（心理学家）in Williamsburg Massachusetts,helped develop the new machine.This is how they work.A machine is placed in an area far away from the person who operates it.The person wears special hard hat with television screens and sound equipment.The screens and sound equipment let the person see and hear exactly what the machine is seeing and hearing.Mr.Marrit says this gives the person the feeling of being in the same place as the machine.The idea,he says,“is being there without going there.”The person uses an electronic control to make the machine move.The machine copies the person’s movements exactly.If the person raises his right arm,the machine raises the right arm,too.This means an expert can do a dangerous job while staying in the safe place.For example,a person can direct the machine to destroy a bomb without going near the bomb himself.
59．The new kind of machine being introduced in the passage is .
A．in existence B．only an idea
C．being tried out D．has not yet come into being

C
There are two main things that make aircraft engingeering difficult:the need to make every part as reliable as possible and the need to build everything as light as possible.They are to be combined（结合）.The fact that an aeroplane is up in the air and can’t stop,if anything goes wrong,makes it perhaps a matter of life or death that its performance is completely dependable.
Given a certain power of engine,and so a certain amount of oil,there is a practical limit to the total weight of aircraft that can be made to fly.Out of that weight as much as possible is wanted for fuel radio instruments,passenger seats,or freight（货物）room,and,of course,the passengers or freight themselves.So the aircraft has to be as small and light as safety will allow.The designer must work out the normal load that each part will bear.This specialist is called the “stress （压力）man.”He takes notice of any unusual stress that may be put on the part as a means against errors in production,accidental damage,etc.
The stress man’s decisions go to the designer of the part,and he must make it as strong as the stress man says is necessary.One or two small parts are always tested to prove that they are as strong as the designer wanted.Each separate part is tested,then a whole one——for example,a complete wing,and finally the whole aeroplane.When a new type of aeroplane is being made,normally only one of the first three made will be flown.Two will be destroyed on the ground in strict tests.The third one will be tested in the air.
When a plane has passed all the tests it can get a government permission of flight,without which it is illegal（非法的）to fly,except for test flying.
62．The main difficulty of aircraft design lies in .
A．the combination of lightness and reliability
B．the speed and cheapness
C．reliability and passenger comfort
D．its engine power and oil burning
63．The stress man’s job is to work out .
A．how safe the plane is B．the load that each part bears
C．the possible errors made by designers
D．the amount of load the aircraft may carry
64．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．The total weight of an aircraft depends on the power of the engine.
B．An aircraft has to pass all the tests.
C．Permission of flight can be got from the government.
D．It is necessary for all the first planes to be tested in the air.
65．Which of the following statements is not false?
A．Nearly every separate part is tested.
B．Not a single part is tested.
C．Not all the parts are tested.
D．None of the separate parts can be used without being tested.
D
Let children learn to judge their own work.A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time;if corrected too much,he will stop talking.He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use.Bit by bit,he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s .In the same way,children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk,run,climb,whistle,ride a bicycle——compare their own performances with those of more skilled people,and
slowly make the needed changes.But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself,let alone correct them.We do it all for him.We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him,or correct it unless he was made to.Soon he becomes dependedent on the teacher.Let him do it himself.Let him work out,with the help of other children if he wants it,what this word says,what the answer is to that problem,whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers,as it may be in mathematics or science,give him the answer book.Let him correct his own papers.Why should we teachers waste time on such tiring work?Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer.Let’s end all this nonsense of grades,exams,marks,Let us throw them all out,and let the chidren learn what all educated persons must some day learn,how to measure their own understanding,how to know what they know or do not know.
66．What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?
A．By copying what other people do.
B．By making mistakes and having them corrected.
C．By listening to explanations from skilled people.
D．By asking a great many questions.
67．What does the author think teachers should not do?
A．They give children correct answers.
B．They point out children’s mistakes to them.
C．They allow children to mark their own work.
D．They encourage children to copy from one another.
68．The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are .
A．not really important skills B．more important than other skills
C．different from learning adult skills
D．almost the same as learning other skills
69．Exams,grades and marks should be got rid of because children’s progress should only be decided by .
A．educated persons B．the children themselves
C．teachers D．parents
70．Why should children learn to judge their own work?
A．Because most children don't like their teachers.

Every object has weight.But the center of its weight is not always in the middle of the object.If the top of an object is heavier than its bottom,it will fall over easily.We say that its center of gravity is high.But if the bottom is heavier,it won’t fall easily.Then we say that its center of gravity is low.
Look at the first picture.This empty box must fall over,because its center of gravity（C）is not above the line of its bottom（AB）
Now look at the second picture.There is some heavy iron in the bottom of this box.It will not fall,because its center of gravity is above its bottom.
71．If the bottom of an object is its top,it will fall over easily.
A．lighter than B．heavier than C．no heavier than D．as heavy as
72．Please point out which box will not fall.
73．The reason why the Leaning Tower of Pisa does not fall is that .
A．the top of the tower is heavier than its bottom
B．the bottom of the tower is not heavier than its top
C．its center of gravity is still above the line of its bottom
D．its center of gravity is not above the line of its bottom
74．If an object has a low center of gravity, .
A．it won’t fall B．it w on’t fall easily
C．it is sure to fall over D．its top must be heavier
75．The main idea of the passage is .
A．why things fall over B．a low center of gravity
C．a high center of gravity D．that everything has weight
