The earliest maps were probably drawn in the Middle East. Some of these maps have 16and they show us the people at that time thought the earth flat(平的).As time went by, the pictures became more detailed and maps were more 17made. Later on, ancient Greeks(希腊人) used their 18of math and science to make maps. Greek maps tell us the Greeks knew the world was 19.From simple pictures, map-making has turned into a science. Maps are made 20surveying(勘测) land. In the 1900s, people around the world started to share information to make 21maps. With the help of the photographs taken from the sky and space, maps are now more exactly made than ever.22the world is always changing, we will always need new maps.There are many types of maps, but almost all use 23and pictures to describe what a place is like when the map is made.

AThe next time you look up at the sky and see a cloud that looks like Mickey Mouse or your favorite fruit, look again. It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo —a logo that flies. It’s a new form of advertising in the sky that’s never been used before. It’s a different way to market your products, logos, and events.These funny logos are made with soap bubbles(肥皂泡)mixed with a little helium gas(氦气), which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for$2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15—25 seconds.Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20,000 feet, they usually float around at 300—500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.Flogos are Green,100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment.26.Flogos are mainly used to.A. advertise in the skyB. make funny bubblesC. improve weather conditionsD. see colorful clouds27.Why are Flogos healthy and good for the environment?A. Because they can float high and last for a long time in the sky.B. Because there is a little helium gas mixed with soap bubbles.C. Because the machines used to make them are special and expensive.D. Because the soap used to make them comes from plants and leaves.28.From the passage, we can infer that Flogos.A. can fly for hours in the sky all dayB. can have different colors at presentC. may be influenced by the weatherD. may be the cheapest way of advertising29.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Machines—Used for Flogos!B. Flogos—Logos That Fly!C. Advertising—Made of Fruits!D. Clouds—like Mickey Mouse!BDolls(玩偶)come in all shapes and sizes. Many people like to collect them. The reason is probably that dolls makepeople feel like they just gave birth to their own children.One famous doll company(公司)is Madame Alexander. The dolls it produces are usually bought by mothers for their daughters to play with. Two of the most expensive dolls they have are Kathleen Toddler whose market price today is from $125 to $300 and Binnie, which costs about $175 to $475.Cabbage Patch Kids are another kind of dolls. That company’s marketing policy(政策)is different because you don’t buy a doll but rather adopt(收养)one. You just have to pay a small, regular fee(定额费用).They were very successful in the 1980s.Lee Middleton also produces(生产)baby dolls, including different collections. As they are very lively, these dolls are still very popular among collectors.Another company that makes dolls is Tiny Miracles. They have a collection called the Ashton Drake Galleries that consists of(由……组成)10-inch long babies. They are not sold in stores, so if you want one, you have to order it straight from Tiny Miracles.These are just a few of the baby dolls on the market. The best place to sell dolls is online because almost everyone has a computer and the company can make money here much more easily than by putting an ad in the newspaper.The companies don’t even have to create their own websites because they can use auction(拍卖)sites easily, meaning they just have to open an account(开户).30.Who usually buy dolls produced in Madame Alexander?A.

Mothers like to buy expensive dolls for their daughters.B. Kathleen Toddler is the most expensive doll in the world.C. The policy of adopting a doll was popular in the 1980s.D. Dolls make people feel that they are children.34.The writer’s purpose(目的)of writing the passage is to.A. introduce ways to make baby dollsB. introduce different kinds of baby dollsC. tell us how to choose a beautiful baby dollD. show different baby doll collectionsCMost of us could probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don’t act soon.There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage—chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world’s largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse,many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoaplants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope!35.The first paragraph tells us that.A. chocolate is healthier than vegetablesB. the world could soon be without chocolateC. people love vegetables more than chocolateD.it’s not necessary to eat so much chocolate36.In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years?A.
