Geographers compare and contrast various places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 36 . The word geography 37 from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for "earth" and graphein, 38 means "to write." The English word geography means "to describe the earth." Some geography books focus on a small area like a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, anation, or an 39 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another way to divide the study of 40 is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 41 starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act upon each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject,42 branch can neglect the other.A geographer might be described 43 one who observes, records, and explains the differences between places. If places 44 alike, there would be little need for geographers.We know, however, 45 no two places are exactly the same. Geography, then, is a point of view, a special way of looking at places.36.

What do you think?”“I don’t like it.”“Why not?”“I don’t know. There’s just something about thesalesman th at I don’t believe.”A few weeks after we had bought another car elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had been seriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and cleverly done up. The car was, indeed, a very bad risk.Of all the things about women that their husbands do not understand, perhaps the biggest question is this: How can she often be right about things of which she has absolutely no knowledge? How does a woman’s intuition work? What is this strange power that tells her exactly when her husband isn’t working late on business, however honest he pretends to be? Is it guesswork, or some sixth sense that men don’t have?46. When was the “first time” the husband felt “really shaken” by his wife’s intuition?A.W hen they bought another car.B.When he learned about the history of the drop-head..C.W hen he realized she knew so much about cars.D.W hen his wife spoke about the salesman.47. What does a person’s intuition refer to according to this passage?A.T he ability to see through things.B.The ability to make a quick decision.C.T he ability to pick out the best one among a number of things.D.T he ability to know something by using one’s feelings.48. Why didn’t the man know that the car was damaged at first?A.T he damage was not serious at all.B.He was not careful enough.C.I t had been skillfully repaired.D.T he salesman only tried it out smoothly.49. What answer does the writer give to a woman’s intuition?A.I t is simply a blind guess. C. It must be the sixth sense.B.It is a special kind of knowledge. D. Hedoesn’t really answer the question.50. From the passage we learn that the salesman was _____.A. cheatingB. honestC. helpfulD. kindPassage 2Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of socialcustoms. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.51.If one has accepted a dinner invitation ,what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?A. He should find an excuseB. He should ask for excuse.C. He should say sorryD. He should telephone to explain his being late.52."It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable." "Bad manners " means ________.A. uglyB. dishonestC. impoliteD. shameful53.which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Social CustomsB. Social LifeC. American and British CustomsD. Promptness Is Important54.According to the text, the best host_______.A. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortableB. makes his guests feel excitedC. tries to avoid being naughty to his guestsD. tries to avoid being foolish55.The author of this article may agree with which of the following?A. The guest who ate his peas with a knifeB. The other guests who were amused or shockedC. The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same wayD. None of the abovePassage 3Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out thatstress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile toconsider, therefore, what are the causes of stressin our life, and whether we can do anythingabout it.Are we under-employed or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have aright balance of work and leisure(闲暇)in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations( 失意)into the open.People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle their feelings.If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible “ Let not the sun go down upon your wrath(anger)” is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.56. Which of the following statements is true?A.F reedom from responsibilities helps reduce stressB.Stress is the direct cause of cancerC.T he cause of stress is worthy of serious studyD.C ancer is the number one killer in our society today57. According to the passage, which of thefollowing types of people is more likely to suffer from stress?A.P eople who have cancerB.People who like to quarrel with othersC.P eople whose living standards is lowD.P eople who have more responsibilities than they can handle58. Judging from the context, the word “row” inthe third paragraph most probably means____.A. a noisy quarrelB. a very loud noiseC. a neat line of things side by sideD. ajourney in a boat59. Which of the following is not mentioned as away to reduce our stress?A.c hanging our jobsB.changing our attitude to little things that make us unhappyC.speaking out our frustrationsD.r eading the Bible60. “Let not the sun go down upon you wrath”probably means______.A. Don’t let your anger last longB. Don’t get angry while the sun is goingdownC. Don’t get angry easily about littlethings.D. Don’t watch the sun set while you areangry.Passage 4Scientists have developed a slimming（减肥）drug that successfully suppresses appetite and results in a dramatic loss of weight without any apparent ill effects.The drug interferes with appetite control and prevents the build-up of fatty tissue. Laboratory mice given the drug lost up to a third of their total body weight.Within 20 minutes of being given the drug, called C75, the mice lost interest in eating and survived apparently content on just 10 per cent of the food they would normally eat.As a result, mice taking the drug lost 45 per cent more weight than mice fed the same amount of food, which compensate for the lack of food by becoming more lazy.Scientists, from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said that C75 is likely to produce a similar effect on humans becauseappetite control in brain is thought to be based on the same chemical pathways as those in mice.“We are not claiming to have found a fabled（神奇的）weight-loss drug. What we have found, using C75, is a major pathway in the brain that body uses naturally in regulating appetite at least in mice,” said Francis Kuhajda, a pathologist and senior team member.61.The newly-developed drug _______.A.c ontrols appetite and causes obvious weightlossB.reduces weight with some ill-effectC.i nterferes with appetite and builds up fattytissueD.i s still going through laboratory tests62.One of the reasons that the drug helps tolose weight is that _______.A.i t helps mice sleep wellB.it keeps fatty tissue from growingC.i t controls eatingD.i t prevents overeating63.The mice taking C75 lose nearly half oftheir weight on the same amount of food become _______.A.more activeB.more lazyC.more aggressiveD.more noisy64.C75 is likely to produce weight-loss effecton humans because ______.A.m ice and humans have similar brainstructureB.human’s are likely to be more lazy thanmiceC.h uman’s appetite is regulated through thesame pathway as mice’sD.m ice and human body use differentpathways of appetite control65.What is the attitude of the scientiststoward the slimming drug?A.i ndifferentB.excitingC.n egativeD.confidentIV.

But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth (光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.All children soon learn what "Don't touch!" means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well,we have to touch it.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to (习惯于) them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, "Do touch!" There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch it. Then you will really see!61.By touching things, .A.you will have a strange feelingB.you will learn how to reach out your handC.you can tell the difference of the thingsD.you can tell what colours they are62.When people buy things in shops, they often .A.try them on firstB.keep their right hands on themC.ask about themD.feel and touch them63.Why does it say "At first, it is not easy to feel these things?" Because .A.the things are used by people, tooB.people feel the things too oftenC.people know how to use the thingsD.the things are easy to feel64.Which of the following is true?A.Touching is more important than seeing.B.Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.C.People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D.Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.65.Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A.Touching by FeelingB.To See or to Feel?C.To See Better-TouchD.Ways of FeelingPassage TwoThe old Volkswagen (VW) Beetle —“The Bug” — is making a comeback (回潮). People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don't own them are paying high prices when they can find one for sale. It's more remarkable when you realize that VW Company has already stopped producing them.A spokesman for Volkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977. That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW calculates (估算) that about four million of them are still running, and running, and running.Used car businessmen say they can't keep “Bugs” on their lots these days.They feel it's because these cars have a history of reliable ( 牢靠的), inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.But all hasn't been smoothly going for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor.And since it travels very close to the ground, large cars tend to splash(溅) it with winter's snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(管理部门)has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.66.American people like to have a “Bug”.A.because it is no more in productionB.because it is reliable an energy-savingC.because it is remarkable and easy to driveD.because it is safe67.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.“Bugs” are more popular than other cars in America.B.“Bugs” are now produced in a small quantity.C.American feel proud if they can own a “Bug” .D.No “Bugs” have been shipped to America since 1977.68.In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the world “them”refers to .A.a car by the name of Volkswagen BeetleB.heavier cars imported from other countries.C.people in the safety fieldD.people from National Highway Traffic Administration69.Wh at is the problem with a “Bug"?A.I t does not go smoothly.B.I t is not comfortable in winter.C.I t splashes mud and water.D.I t travels too slowly.70.What can be concluded according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?A.T hey are going to investigate into “Bugs” problem.B.S ome of the “Bugs” are not usable any more.C.I t is defenseless when it is hit by a heavy carl.D.T he “Bugs” is good for use.Passage ThreeThere are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear.For thousands of years, people in different parts of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils (面纱) to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.Worldwide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim (帽沿) up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.71.If you want to learn about the differences about people in the world, you . A．should know the ways to study other landsB.should know the four big reasons given in the passageC.may study the different types of clothing people wearD.may be surprised by the ways people wear hats72.In many Moslem countries, women have to in public.A．wear more clothes than men B．wear veils to hide their faces C．protect their faces from being hurt D．wear beautiful clothing73.Which of the following is the reason for the differences in clothing?

A．the effect of customs on dressing style B．the function of wearing straw hat C．the correct way of wearing straw hat D．the long history of some customsPassage FourPressure Cooker(高压锅) SafetyWhen you are cooking with a pressure cooker, you should learn a few common sense (常识) rules:1.Never leave the cooker unwatched when it is in use.2.Add sufficient liquid but never past the recommended fill point. Overfilling the cooker may block the vent pipe (排气孔) and cause the cooker to explode.3.Set the cooking time. Too much time may overcook the food or too much pressure may build up in the cooker.
