You don’t show your secret p ersonality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your realfeelings.

You’re very stubborn(顽固的), but you aren’t very ambitious. You’re usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up (卷曲),you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive.

We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern worldwe use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they bee weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in monwith use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.66. The passage mainly tells us that ________.A. man's life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller as time passesD. man will disappear67. What serves as the evidence(证据)that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Man's arms and legs have bee lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.68. The change in man's size of forehead is probably because ________.A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacityB. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesC. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeD. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on69. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.70. We can infer that _______.A. human beings will bee less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its being worseC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictablePart Ⅳ Writing (45 marks)Section A(10marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS FOR each answer.American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.In 1991, there were no charter schools in the Unite States. Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and munity members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.However, state education agencies, local education-governingmittees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the xx federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.Title: 71. ____________I.

Abbreviations such as "GDP" (gross domestic product), "WTO" (World Trade Organization) and "CPI" (consumer price index) will also be substituted(代替)with their Chinese pronunciations, it said.The move es after a growing number of national legislators(立法委员)and political advisors called for preventive measures to preserve (保存)the purity of the Chinese language."If we don't pay attention and don't take measures to stop mixing Chinese with English, the Chinese language won't remain pure in a couple of years," said Huang Youyi, editor-in-chief of the China International Publishing Group and secretary-general of the Translators' Association of China.The restricted use of English abbreviations on Chinese television programs has provoked a debate among scholars."It makes no sense to introduce a regulation to prevent the use of English in the Chinese language in the face of globalization(全球化)," Liu Yaoying, a professor at the munication University of China, said onTuesday. "It is cultural conservatism(保守主义)。

AJune 18 is the birthday of my late sister, Tanya. She would have been 49 years old this year, but that's increasingly difficult for me to imagine. She is frozen in time at 37.Tanya died more than a decade ago and the wound left by her loss has healed into a scar (疤痕).It's a big. scar. You can't know me for very long without discovering my scar. Trust me; if you haven't found it on your own, I will point it out to you. I want you all to know that she existed, and that she mattered.When we first lose a loved one, we ask, “How will I live without you?” and wounds are open and weeping. We don't know how we'll cope with the pain. But then the wounds form scars, and we learn to live with our new skins.“How can I remember you?” we ask.So many people are hesitant to talk about my sister. It is as though mentioning her will remind me that she is dead, and upset my balance when I am so stable and happy. But I never forget my sister, not for a moment.And so I love it when people mention Tanya's name. Occasionally, I come across one of her friends, and they casually bring up a memory, and it is like a gift.So if you have friends who have lost loved ones, please don't avoid talking about their loved one. You won't remind them of their loss, because it is always there. They haven't forgotten their scar. They just don't point it out to you.Instead, try to reassure (使安心) them their loved one is not forgotten. Ask questions about the deceased (逝去的)person's life. Keep them alive in the only way you can after a person is gone, with your words and your memories.I love hearing from friends on my sister's birthday, It makes her present, despite her absence. It reminds us all that she was here. She walked this earth. She was loved, and she mattered. And on June 18,I embrace (欣然接受) my scar.1.What does "it" in paragraph 2 refer to?A.

Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg(MLU)joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry (IPB) to discover the molecular (分子的) processes of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.Plants react to even small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller ... to cool themselves off. Their stalks (茎) become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall," explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that's also less nutritious.There's still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. “We are just starting to understand how plants detect(发现)the changes in temperature..."Quint says. Earlier studies have shown that the protein PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When it's cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn't grow. At higher temperatures PIF4 activates (激活) growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information, says Quint.To understand it, they studied the growth of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana,拟南芥seedlings. Normally, its seedlings form short stems (茎) at 20 C .These stems become much longer at 28 C. They discovered a hormone(荷尔蒙)that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein. The findings may help to breed (培育) plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.8. Why did the researchers at MLU and IPB conduct their research?A. To study the negative effects of global warming.B. To find out how plants help reduce global warming.C. To observe how global warming affects plant growth.D. To understand the ways that plants cause global warming.9.What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. Low temperatures have little impact on plants.B. Plants prefer dry weather to rainy weather.C. Plants are very sensitive to changes in soil.D. High temperatures reduce crop production.10.What do we know about PIF4?A. It mainly exists in thale cress seedlings.B. It works differently at different temperatures.C. It is a kind of gene that controls plant growth.D. It is a plant hormone that works at high temperatures.11.Who will probably benefit most from the findings?A. Farmers.B. Botanists.C. Researchers.D. Environmentalists.DUber has picked Melbourne as the first city outside of the United States to test its flying taxis.Test flights in the Australian city will begin next year with a goal of commercial ride-hailing (打车) services by 2023, it announced on Tuesday."We will see other Australian cities following soon after,” Susan Anderson, Uber's regional manager for Australia, said at the company's annual flying car conference in Washington DC.Melbourne will be the third city to host trials of Uber's flying taxis, after Dallas, Texas, and Los Angeles, California, the electric taxis will be flown by a pilot.Uber has partnered with NASA for its flying taxi program, named Elevate, and is one of several companies racing to make flying vehicles a reality. Other big names in the business include Rolls Royce and Boeing.Even as it works on developing autonomous, electric flying vehicles – which are still several years away - Uber is taking its service to the skies in other ways.The company will start a helicopter service on July 9, taking passengers from Manhattan to JFK Airport in eight minutes. It says customers who buy the roughly $200 ticket will save an hour of travel time during rush hour.But the rollout (首次展示)of that service is now clouded by safety concerns about increased air traffic in cities, following two accidents in New York City in recent weeks.A helicopter crashed onto the roof of a Manhattan building on June 10, killing the pilot. This deadly accident came weeks after a helicopter crash in the Hudson River. There were no deaths in that incident. “For us, it shows the need to make safety the absolute base of everything we do," said Eric Allison, Uber's head of Elevate.Safety will also be a concern in Australia, where Uber has nearly 4 million regular customers for its ride-hailing service.“We will continue to work with communities and governments to ensure that we create an urban aviation (飞行) ride-share network that is safe, quiet and green," Anderson said.12.What can we learn about the flying taxis from the text?A. Most flying taxis are self-driving.B. The flying taxi was first tried out in Melbourne.C. Flying taxis could be used in Australia in several years.D. The flying taxis turned out to be a failure in America.13.Why does the author mention Uber's helicopter service?A. To further introduce NASA's cooperation with Uber.B. To show the challenges facing the flying taxi service.C. To explain why Uber's technology stands out.D. To describe the development of Uber's flying services.14. What is the author's major concern about flying taxis?A. Safety.B. Management.C. Side effects.D. Affordability.15. What is the author's attitude toward the flying taxi?A. Objective.B. Skeptical.C. Disapproving.D. Optimistic.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Most orbit the sun far from the earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision(碰撞)course with Earth .Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10million a year for the next 25 years to find the position of most of the space rocks. By the time we pick out a key one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change i ts course.Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap.Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any danger are: How likely the event is; How bad the results will be if the event happens. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of lives might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare —but if one did fall , it would be the end of the world . “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist, “It’s that simple.”The cure , though , might be worse than the disease . Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from the rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set a gainst them,” said a New York Times article.61. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?A. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.B. They are heavenly bodies different in nature.C. There are more asteroids than meteoroids.D. Asteroids are more secret than meteoroids.62. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists.B. Such a collision might happen once every 25 years.C. It’s still too early to say whethe r such a collision might happen.D. Collisions of asteroids with Earth happen more often than expected.63. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to change the course ofasteroids?A. It sounds practical but may not solve the problem.B. It may create more problems than it might solve.C. It is a waste of money because a collision with Earth is very unlikely.D. Further research should be done before it proves workable.64. We can conclude from the passage that .A. while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.B. asteroids running across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near futureC. the worry about asteroids can be left to further generations since it’s unlikely to ha ppen in ourtime.D. workable ways still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with EarthBDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people that peak es during the forenoon. For others it es in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语)as “Get up , John ! You’ll be late for work again !” The possible explanation to th e trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (打乱)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to . If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle , but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point .Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a yawn (呵欠)and stretch . Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine (常规的)work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours .65. Which of the following causes family quarrels?A. Not knowing each other’s energy cycle.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy of other family members66. If you want to work better at your low point in the morning, you should .A. change your energy cycleB. overe your lazinessC. get up early than usualD. go to bed earlier67. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will .A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help you to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to get your energy on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day68. What’s th e best title of the passage?A. Change Your HabitsB. Save Your EnergyC. Daily Energy CycleD. Temperature—and—Energy PeakCScientists have discovered a gene (基因)that plays a role in violence (暴力)in men ill-treated in childhood . The discovery could explain why some experience unhappy childhoods and go on to normal lives, while others turn to violence, crime of antisocial deeds. But it will also restart another argument.Terrie Moffitt and Avshalom Caspi report in Science today that one mon form of a gene in the brain makes men more likely to be violent—but only if they have experienced cruelty or rejection in childhood . The researchers followed up the life histories of 442 boys born in New Zealand in 1972. Of these, 154 had been ill-treated in the first 10 years, 33 of them badly. They had either experienced sexual attack, beatings or rejection by mother or stepparents. Of the 154 children , 55 had a lessactive variant (变异体)of a gene called MAOA, and 99 had the more active variant . The 55 boys were more than twice as likely to have been in trouble than the other ill-treated group . They made up 12% of the total, but were responsible for 44% of all crimes from among the 442 boys.Prof Moffitt thought a “violence” gene had not been discovered. Boys with the less active form who were not ill-treated during childhood lived normal lives. “It is very mon in the popu lation. One third of us have it.” she said, “So the gene doesn’t do much of anything, it doesn’t cause any trouble in any way, unless we are also ill -treated”.The gene might also show the ability to bear mental stress. The army or the police might examine the applicants (申请人)to see if they have the more active form . But the discovery also raises the argument that people with the less active form of the gene could be social dangers, to be treated with medicine. “This research can easily lead people to fix social problems through medical treatment,” said David King of the UK Gene Alert Group.69. According to the passage, the less active variant of the gene .A. will totally determ ine men’s character and behavio rB. always leads to trouble-makingC. might be responsible for boys’ bad deedsD. plays no role in children’s development70. We can learn from the passage that those men who have stronger ability to bear mental stressusually .A. have the more active variant of geneB. have the less active variant of the geneC. had ill-treated childhoodD. had no ill-treated childhood71. According to the passage, we can infer that .A. one fifth of the population carry the less active variant.B. boys with the less active variant will not live normal livesC. all the people agree with the idea of “violence” geneD. the less active variant and ill-treated experience contribute to violence72.

The “Language mandarins” of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China’s modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in xx.A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace (Chang’an Street), for example, advised: “To Take Notice of Safe; The Slippery are Very Crafty,” a warning that the sidewalk was slippery. Another sign in a Beijing park reads: “Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on sidewalk “.Li Honghai, the city official in charge of the battle, said, “Linguistic perfection (语言美) is being increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flo wing into the city .”However, not everyone shares the disdain (蔑视)of the Beijing government for the mixed language. “The choice of words is pretty much. One can either choose the verbs, adverbs, nouns or w hatever one likes,” explained one Hong Kong linguist on an Internet website.So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases. Many e from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with “Keep t his candle out of children” and a model boat -- curiously named Posh Sailboat -- which means “Please don’t place it in dusty play.”If the battle against Chinglish is successful, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English-language versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English.73. The underlined word “obliterated” refers to .A. removedB. exploitedC. translatedD. beautified74. From the passage, we know that .A. everyone shares the disdain for the mixed languageB. all the people don’t share the disdain for the mixed languageC. Chinglish usually municates in many casesD. several Internet sites have been set up to clear the Chinglish phrases75. We can infer that the English-language versions of newspapers .A. should be in duty to teach normal EnglishB. should report the battle aboveC. should be paid more attention toD. should collect more Chinglish phrases 76. Which of the following signs is Chinglish?A BC D四、选择短语填空:(共8小题,每小题1分,共8分)1. __________ everyone here, may I wish you a very happy retirement.2.

AJimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “Wi th the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the pany.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deservedcoffee as he landed himself a new job.56. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A. He was out of workB. He was bored with his jobC. He wanted a higher positionD. He hoped to find a better boss57. Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?A. He was also to be interviewedB. He needed a traveling panionC. He always helped people in needD. He was thankful to Jimmy58. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question?A. He was sorry for the other applicantsB. There was no hope for him to get the jobC. He regretted helping the old manD. The interviewer was very rude59. What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience?A. Where there is a will, there’s a wayB. A friend in need is a friend indeedC. Good is rewarded with good.D. Two heads are better than oneBYou can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. Th at’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he e up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street ad saw the street lamps l ighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said.The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whet her anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.60. For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?A. To predict a heavy rainB. To check the weather forecastC. To protect people from the rainD. To remind people to take an umbrella61. What do we know from Belyacv’s worlds in Paragraph2?A. His creation was inspired by an experienceB. it rains a lot in the city of Saint PetersburgC. Street lamps are protected by canopiesD. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain62. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?A. Its moving speedB. Its appearanceC. Its installationD. Its safety63. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The designer will open a pany to promote his productB. The lampbrella could be put into immediate productionC. The designer is confident that his creation is practicalD. The lampbrella would be put on show in MoscowCOn a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves."Everything went quiet in my head," Tim recalls(回忆). "I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line."Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. "At one point, I considered turning back," he says. "I wondered if I was putting my life at risk." After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, "Take down the umbrella!"Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him."Let's aim for the pier(码头)," Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. "Can you guys swim?" he cried. "A little bit," the boys said.Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.“Are we almost there?" they asked again and again. "Yes," Tim told them each time.After 30minutes, they reached the pier.64. Why did the two boys go to the sea?A. To go boat rowing.B. To get back their football.C. To swim in the open water.D. To test the umbrella as a sail.65. What does "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The beach.B. The water.C. The boat.D. The wind.66. Why did Tim raise his head regularly?A. To take in enough fresh air.B. To consider turning back or not.C. To check his distance from the boys.D. To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.67. How did the two boys finally reach the pier?A. They were dragged to the pier by Tim.B. They swam to the pier all by themselves.C. They were washed to the pier by the waves.D. They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.DLONDON - A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake(假冒的) bomb detectors(探测器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn't cared about potentially deadly consequences.It is believed that James McCormick got about $77.8 million from the sales of his detectors - which were based on a kind of golf ball finder - to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London."Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people," Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. "you have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt."The detectors, sold for up to $42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they "lacked any grounding in science" and were of no use.McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand."I never had any bad results from customers," he said.68. According to the judge, what McCormick had done _______.A. increased the cost of safeguardingB. lowered people's guard against dangerC. changed people's idea of social securityD. caused innocent people to mit crimes69. Which of the following is true of the detectors?A. They have not been sold to Africa.B. They have caused many serious problems.C. They can find dangerous objects in water.D. They don't function on the basis of science.70. It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _______.A. sold the equipment at a low priceB. was well-known in most countriesC. did not think he had mitted the crimeD. had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从下框的A---F 选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。
