A

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.

We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,

“My I get you something ?”

“A coffee would be nice.”

Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,

“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”

“Who?”

“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”

I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!

My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.

  With alarming regularity,we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible consequences of the oil spills(泄露) on people,nature,and the environment.

   Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to clean up the animals,beaches,and land spoiled by the oil.Unfortunately,when many of these chemicals are used,,more damage is caused to the environment,especially to lives in the sea.

   Of all of today’s environmental disasters ,an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious.Although oil is poisonous,it is a natual material.In the end,it breaks down naturally.There are,of course,long-term effects,but it is usually more serious in the short term.

   Nature by itself woks better than chemical materials,but when there is a spill we demand that governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible.In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean,If you go there today,you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened.

    Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental 

damage.Interestingly the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run I

   We shoule be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil,Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies，such as cars run by solar power（太陽能），electricity,

hydrogen，and so on.Much of this research has ,in the past been held back by the oil,gas,and coal.

If the world’s millions of cars were 10% more efficient（高效的）—and the industry could easily produce cars at least twice as efficient？we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year.If this happened,the risks of oil spills would be reduced，and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher ,too.

63.What is the passage mainly talking about?

   A.Oil spills pollution               B.What oil pollution is

   C.Oil tanker accidents              D.How to reduce oil pollution

64.How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe？

   A.Tansportation depending more on oil

   B.Poisonous oil breaking down naturally

   C.Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea

   D.More environmental damage being caused

66.Which suggestion，is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?

   A.We should build safer tankers in the near future

   B.We shoule develop new technologies to cut oil use

   C.Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines

Millions of people around the world cook their food over a smoky fire every day. It is often difficult to find wood for the fire. People who do not have wood must spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun.

Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first solar oven in 1767. Today, people are using solar cookers in many countries around the world. People use solar ovens to cook food and to heat drinking water to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms.

There are three kinds of solar ovens. The first is a box cooker. It is designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sunlight into the box. Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic covering the top of the cooker. A box oven is effective for slow cooking of large amounts of food.

The second kind of solar oven is a panel cooker. It includes several flat walls, or panels, that directly reflect the sun’s light onto the food. The food is inside a separate container of plastic or glass that traps heat energy. People can build panel cookers quickly and with very few supplies. They do not cost much. In Kenya, for example, panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars.

The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic cooker. It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven. Food cooks quickly in parabolic ovens. However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be re-aimed often to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly.

You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper. They will not catch fire. Paper burns at two hundred thirty-two degrees Celsius. A solar cooker never gets that hot. Solar ovens cook food at low temperatures over long periods of time. This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things.

63. Which kind of solar cookers is the best choice for the poor?

   A. a box cooker      B. a panel cooker      C. parabolic    D. above all

64. What does the bold word “parabolic” mean in paragraph 5?

   A. a curve of rising and falling   B. rhombic(菱形的)   C. square     D. triangular

65. Which of the following statements is true?

   A. Solar cooker is a new kind of cooker.

   B. If we want to cook quickly, we should choose a parabolic cooker.

   C. We should be careful with solar cooker for it may cause fire.

   D. Solar cooker is not a good choice for people in England.

66. We can infer that ________.

   A. Solar cookers all can cause burns and eye injuries.

   B. Solar cookers are environmentally friendly.

   C. A solar cooker can get as hot as 232 ℃.

   D. A solar cooker is a good choice for people all over the world.

Although we already know a great deal about flu, and although the World Health Organizations is constantly collecting detailed information from its chain of flu reference laboratories throughout the world, it is extremely difficult for epidemiologists, who study infectious diseases, to predict when and where the next flu epidemic will occur, and how serious it will be. 

There are three kinds of flu virus, known as A, B and C. flu C virus is relatively stable and causes mild infections that do not spread far through the population. The A and B types are unstable, and are responsible for the epidemics that cause frequent concern. Following any virus attack, the human body builds up antibodies （抗體） which can be changed into immunity to that type of virus but a virus with the ability to change its character is able to bypass this protection. Variability（可變性） is less developed in the flu B virus, which affects only human beings. As flu B virus may cause a widespread epidemic but will have little effect if introduced into the same community soon afterwards, since nearly everyone will have built up antibodies and will be immune. The flu A virus, which affects animals also, is extremely unstable and is responsible for some of the worst outbreaks of the disease, such as the world epidemic, of 1918&1919, when about half the world's population were infected and about twenty million people died, some from pneumonia caused by the virus itself and some from secondary complication caused by bacteria. Accurate prediction is difficult because of the complication of the factors. A particular virus may be related to one to which some of the population have partial involved immunity. The extent to which it will spread will depend on factors such as its own strength, or virulence （病毒性）, the ease with which it can be transmitted and the strength of the opposition it encounters （遇到）. Scientists, however, have a reliable general picture of the world situation. 

55. Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage? 

A. Symptoms of Flu                                                       B. Man Vs Flu Virus 

C. WHO: The Major Organization against Flu Virus           D. Variability of Flu Virus 

56. What does the author say about the flu B virus? 

A. B Virus is relatively stable and causes mild infections that do not spread far through the population.

B. B Virus is unstable, and is responsible for the epidemics that cause frequent concern.

C. B virus is extremely unstable and is responsible for some of the worst outbreaks of the disease.

D. B virus has a very developed variability, and it affects only human beings.

57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor contributing to the extent to which a virus spreads?

A. The strength of the virus.               B. The ease with which the virus can be transmitted.

C. The strength of the opposition. D. The immunity the virus can bring about.

58. This article is quite probably ________.

A. a piece of news                             B. a special science report

C. an introduction to a book               D. a scientific fiction
