There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.41. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself .A. a serious newspaperB. foreign newspaperC. any independent paperD. a popular newspaper42. The Times is an independent paper because .A. it supports no political partiesB. it is not controlled by the British GovernmentC. it gives special support to all the political parties.D. the editor’s opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper43. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “ ”.A. improveB. compete with each otherC. are differentD. keep in touch with each otherBIslands in the world are famous for different things. But Hawaii is special for its variety of features. Beautiful sandy beaches, active volcanoes, a great canyon （山谷） and special history and culture add up to create its famously romantic atmosphere.Formed by volcanoes（火山） at the bottom of the sea, the Hawaii islands are like a necklace in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 6,000 kilometers off the west coast of Mexico. There are eight main islands in the group Hawaii (or Big Island), Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau.The youngest and biggest island, also called Hawaii was formed 430,000 years ago and is still growing. Kauai, the oldest was formed 5.1 million years ago. For tourists, the sight of the lava that still flows from some of the volcanoes down to the sea, is a major attraction.Hawaii is the newest and smallest state in the US. In 1900 the islands joined the US. In modern history it will always be remembered for the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese air force in 1941.About 1,000 years ago the islands were settled by Polynesians. Captain James Cook led the first group of Westerners there in 1778.Native Hawaiians have a special culture and languages. Although nowadays English is the official language of Hawaii, folk music and dancing are still widely practiced. The traditional dance of the islands is the hula, a Hawaiian word that means dance. Hawaii’s reputation for romance was spread when Hollywood started to use its typical music in movies in the 1960s.Today, Hawaii is famous for its mix of cultures. Chinese, Japanese and Filipinos all live there.Chinese arrived in the islands as early as the late 18th century. Dr Sun Yatsen, the famous Chinese revolutionary, grew up there.Everyone in Hawaii is a member of an ethnic minority and generally they exist ina pleasant harmony of races and cultures.44. Which of the following directly led to the formation of the Hawaii islands?A. The sea.B. The volcanoes.C. The violent meeting of the earth’s different plates.D. The nonstop turning of the earth.45. Which of the following shows the correct order of the listed events?a. Japan attacked Hawaii.b. The Hawaii islands became part of the US.c. Hawaii began to be known for romance.d. First group of Chinese settled there.A. dbcaB. bdacC. dbacD. badc46. The main idea of the story is about Hawaii’s ______.A. historyB. geographyC. cultureD. featuresCThe poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists(经济学家) study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today's relatively high standard of living, about 10% of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40% of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age. Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick; they do not have any motivation. They have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.Second, if society invests（投资）in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.47. Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because______.A. they do not have any motivation to workB. they are not very self-confidentC. they are too young or too old to workD. they have physical and family problems48. Which of the following is NOT true?A. About 10% of the Americans live a poor life.B. Poor people are those who live below the poverty line.C. The poverty line rises as the general standard of living rises.D. The poverty line tends to be at the same level.49. More than 40% of the poor people are children. This is mainly because ______.A. they do not have enough motivationB. they are so young that they are deprived（剥夺）of chances to workC. they fail to get enough educationD. they are very poor in health50. We may conclude from the passage that ______.A. better solutions to the poverty problem are not yet foundB. welfare will enable people to be richC. poor people are bound（注定）to go out of the poverty line if they have chances to do businessD. employment is the best solution to the poverty problemⅤ。

People watched him, and they beganto buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable. People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.41. A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong42. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D. People liked folic acid.43. The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A. ironB. folic acidC. spinachD. exercise〔B〕In 1977, a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a 19-month-old baby in a most unusual way. The author was Agatha Christie, one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world.In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia. Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness with confidence, so she was sent to HammersmithHospital in London. She was then only semi-conscious and on the "Dangerously Ill" list. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were confused by the very unusual symptoms (症状). While they were discussing the baby's case, a nurse asked to speak to them. "Excuse me," said Nurse Marsha Maitlan, "but I think the baby is suffering from thallium (铊) poisoning." "What makes you think that?" Dr. Brown asked. "Thallium poisoning is extremely rare." "A few days ago, I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie," Nurse Maitlan explained. "In the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are described. They're exactly the same as the baby's.""You're very thoughtful and you may be right," another doctor said. "We'll carry out some tests and find out whether it's thallium or not."Tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making special glass. Once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar.

Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth.A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs .The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752.

This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the EmpireStateBuilding in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car.Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress.
