A growing number of teenagers are getting a "mobile phone disease" because most of them are using mobile phones.Zhou got his mobile phone five months ago. He sent rues sages to his friends with it all the time. Zhou started to do badly in the exams because he spent much time playing with his mobile phone. His mother got very angry with him. He didn't stop playing with the mobile phone until his arms and fingers got painful.Yang Ling, a doctor, says that if someone, like Zhou Yan,uses the mobile phone too much, he might get a "mobile phone disease".

When walking on the sidewalk or on theside of the road,a man should walk on the outside(closer to the road). But if a man walks with two ladies, he should walk between them. Then if the host (主人) or hostess (女主人),) or both of them come in a ear to get their guest for dinner, the guest should sit at the front seat and leave the back seat.（）56.

Japan is one of them, while others do not have many, for example, there are few earthquakes in Britain.There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (颤动).Houses fall down. Railways are broken, which causes trains to turn over. Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways. About 60,000 were killed in 1783 in the south of Italy. Some people say that earthquakes often happen near volcanoes(火山),but it is not true. The centres of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it, breaking down houses and other buildings. Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself.A terrible earthquake happened in Assam, India, in 1986.The land near Shillong suddenly moved 1.5 feet to one side, and then back again. It continued to act like this 20 times a minute.Few buildings could stand what was happening and the great stones flew four feet up into the air. What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake? The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco(1906) and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete(混凝土) walls together by steel frames. Such are the buildings that can't burn or fall easily.（）60. The best title of this passage should beA. The Centres of EarthquakesB. EarthquakesC. The Loss(损失) Caused by EarthquakesD. Buildings and Earthquakes（）61. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Trains' turning over is directly caused by the earthquakes.B. Some earthquakes have their centres under the sea.C. It isn't certain that earthquakes happen near volcanoes.D. Buildings with concrete walls are better against earth quakes.（）62. Earthquakes often happenA. near volcanoesB. in JapanC. in BritainD. Both A and B（）63. make(s) more loss than the earthquake itself.A. NothingB. VolcanoesC. Forces inside the earthD. Terrible waves by the earthquake（）64. When an earthquake happens, can be heard.A. trainsB. thousands of peopleC. a great noiseD. the powerful forces（D）One fine winter day some ants were working in thefield. They were very busy. Just then a grasshopper(蚱蜢)passed by." Good day, kind ants," said the grasshopper. "I am very hungry. Won't you lend me a little food? (A)我没有东西吃了。

He sent rues sages to his friends with it all the time. Zhou started to do badly in the exams because he spent much time playing with his mobile phone. His mother got very angry with him. He didn't stop playing with the mobile phone until his arms and fingers got painful.Yang Ling, a doctor, says that if someone, like Zhou Yan,uses the mobile phone too much, he might get a "mobile phone disease".

When walking on the sidewalk or on theside of the road,a man should walk on the outside(closer to the road). But if a man walks with two ladies, he should walk between them. Then if the host (主人) or hostess (女主人),) or both of them come in a ear to get their guest for dinner, the guest should sit at the front seat and leave the back seat.（）56.

Japan is one of them, while others do not have many, for example, there are few earthquakes in Britain.There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (颤动).Houses fall down. Railways are broken, which causes trains to turn over. Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways. About 60,000 were killed in 1783 in the south of Italy. Some people say that earthquakes often happen near volcanoes(火山),but it is not true. The centres of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it, breaking down houses and other buildings. Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself.A terrible earthquake happened in Assam, India, in 1986.The land near Shillong suddenly moved 1.5 feet to one side, and then back again. It continued to act like this 20 times a minute.Few buildings could stand what was happening and the great stones flew four feet up into the air. What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake? The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco(1906) and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete(混凝土) walls together by steel frames. Such are the buildings that can't burn or fall easily.（）60. The best title of this passage should beA. The Centres of EarthquakesB. EarthquakesC. The Loss(损失) Caused by EarthquakesD. Buildings and Earthquakes（）61. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Trains' turning over is directly caused by the earthquakes.B. Some earthquakes have their centres under the sea.C. It isn't certain that earthquakes happen near volcanoes.D. Buildings with concrete walls are better against earth quakes.（）62. Earthquakes often happenA. near volcanoesB. in JapanC. in BritainD. Both A and B（）63. make(s) more loss than the earthquake itself.A. NothingB. VolcanoesC. Forces inside the earthD. Terrible waves by the earthquake（）64.

Why have you learned it so well?” Well, there’s one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn: there are so many people to talk to. You’ve probably heard that it’s the most spoken language. Today it’s also one of the most written languages online. And with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn’t be easier to find a friend for language learning. You just have to know where to look for them.The really good place to look for them is Wechat. Wechat has the same status in China as Facebook does in the US. It is reported that at any moment, up to 900,000,000 people are using Wechat. They’re at work, or in a web cafe, or at home, and the information of the users can be found. If you sign in with your address set to “abroad”, you’ll soon find that many thousands of them are interested in speaking to you! This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English. I think that it’s a very interesting way of cultural contact too, for ordinary people from around the world to be able to have one-on-one contact.26.
