ASam, an unemployed man, said it was only the second thing he had ever won in his life. The first thing was a blanket at a church raffle(抽奖)when he was 25 years old. But this was much bigger: it was $120,000! He had won the Big Cube(骰子), a state lottery(彩票)game. To win, a contestant must first guess which number a spinning cube will stop on. The cube has six numbers on it: 1X, 10X, 50X, 100X, 500X, and 1000X. If he is correct, the contestant must then guess which of two selected variables(变量) is going to be greater. So, just guessing which number appears on the cube does not guarantee that you will win any money. Sam correctly guessed 1000X, but he still had to choose between two variables. One variable was the number of cars that would run the stop sign at Hill Street and Lake Avenue in six hours. The other variable was the number of times that a teenage boy would change TV channels in a three-hour period. This was a tough decision.Finally, Sam flipped(翻转)a coin. It came up heads, so Sam picked the teenager. He picked right. The stop sign was run only 76 times, but the teen clicked 120 times. Sixty-year-old Sam jumped for joy, for he had just won 1000 times 120, or $120,000. Sam dreamily left the lottery studio. Talking excitedly on his cell phone while crossing the street, he got hit by a little sports car.Sam is slowly getting better. He was in the hospital for a month. His hospital bill was $110,000. And the insurance company for the little sports car's owner sued(起诉) Sam for $9,000 worth of repairs. A lso, Sam still has to pay taxes on his winnings. Sam doesn't play the state lottery any more. He says it's better to be unlucky.A．25 B．60 C．35 D．7622. Sam won the lottery because ______.A. he was luckyB. he was good at mathC. he was smartD. he was tough23.

That’s about 13 times more salt than is used by the entire food processing industry. Salt lowers the freezing temperature of water and thus melts snow and ice. But its public safety benefits do come with some ecological drawbacks(弊端).The biggest concern with road salt is how it affects water quality. The material doesn’t just disappear when the snow and ice melts: It is washed away into lakes and streams or gets into groundwater supplies. Researchers recently found that, in the urban Twin Cities area, 70 percent of the salt applied to roads stays within the region’s watershed(水源区). Once it gets there, the pollution is difficult and expensive to move.Salty groundwater can make for salty drinking wells. That’s a health issue for people on restricted-sodium diets and a taste problem for everyone else. When salt gets into lakes and streams, it can also harm plants and animals there.Road salt can affect the environment in other ways, too. It can erode(腐蚀) soil and plants as far as 650 feet away. Roadsides can also turn into a sort of artificial salt lick(盐碱地) that would be attractive to animals. As a result, they run a higher risk of becoming road kill. Birds are common victims, as well.So if salt is so problematic, why are we still using it? Because it’s cheap. Alternative chemicals can be much more expensive, and they often require new spreading equipment.As researchers continue to look for substitutes, there are plenty of ways that road crews can cut back on their salt usage. Pre-wetting the salt, for example, allows for more controlled application and better sticking power. Weather monitoring is key, too: applying salt just before a storm hits, so that the snow can’t attach to the ground, is usually more efficient than waiting until after the snow has fallen.32. How does road salt melt snow and ice?A. By changing the weather.B. By raising their temperatures.C. By raising the temperature of roads.D. By chan ging the freezing point of water.33. The author is most worried about the influence of road salt on _____.A. traffic safetyB. water qualityC. soil conditionsD. plants and animals34. It’s mentioned in the text that birds _____.A. often die because of eroded soilB. often die because of polluted waterC. are often killed by vehicles on roadsD. are often killed by other animals in the fields35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. How to use road salt more efficiently.B. Researchers are looking for substitutes.C. Road crews are monitoring the weather.D. The advantages of alternative chemicals.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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
