32、 a friendly blue river across the cold green Atlantic Ocean, is one of the mightiest powers in the worlD. By comparison, the Mississippi and the mighty Amazon are but small rivers. Two million tons of coal burned every minute would not equal the heat that the Stream gives forth in its Atlantic cross
33、ing. Without the Streams warmth Englands pleasant green countryside would be as cold as Labrador, which is no farther north than EnglanD. If this “river of blue“ were cooled as much as 15 degrees, England, Scandinavia, northern France and Germany would probably become a region for the Eskimos. The g
34、eneral course of the blue river has never been known to change. From Florida north the Stream follows the curve of the coast but stays well away from the shore. When the warm waters meet the icy Labrador currents, the Stream loses some speed and heat, but even with icebergs at its margin it stays wa
35、rm enough for tropical sea life. As the Stream nears Europe it divides north and south. The northern drift mixed with the Arctic Ocean. The southern drift comes again into the path of Africas hot trade winds, and the waters hurry back to the Gulf of Mexico, gathering again their store of heat. The c
36、omplete course of the Stream, therefore, is like a tremendous 12,000-mile whirlpool. Scientists think that it takes three years for the Stream to make a complete trip. Their belief is based on the courses of bottles that have been thrown into the Stream to drift. These bottles contain papers, printe
37、d in many languages, requesting the finders to note the places and dates of finding and mail them back. Government experts on ocean currents have records of thousands of there “bottle papers“. Other oceans have such currents. In the North Pacific, for example, the Japanese Current makes the climate
38、of coastal Alaska and Americas west coast milD. Science is still not satisfied with what it knows about these currents. But for most of us it is enough to know that the Gulf Stream and similar currents give warmth to countries that would otherwise be very cold indeed.（分数：6.00）(1).The phrase that bes
39、t expresses the main idea of this selection is_. A. interesting facts about the Gulf Stream B. scientific experiments on the Gulf Stream C. currents similar to the Gulf Stream D. tropical sea life in the Golf Stream（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The water in the Gulf Stream is_. A. pleasantly green B. icy and
40、 blue C. cold and green D. warm and blue（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The effect of the Gulf Stream on England is to_. A. make possible the green countryside B. make England a region for Eskimos C. cool pleasantly the air in England D. make necessary the burning of coals in winter（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Scienti
41、sts have used papers in bottles to determine the number of_. A. beliefs about the experiments of the bottles B. languages spoken along the course of the Gulf Stream C. years needed for the Stream to make a complete trip D. similar currents that have not yet been found（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Many countr
42、ies should be thankful to the Gulf Stream and similar currents for_. A. cool summers B. moderate climates C. scientific findings D. specific records of ocean currents（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(6).We may infer from the selection that_.

44、ates. Caught between warring soldiers and Indians, the Pony Express carried important communications 2,000 miles from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, in ten days. The Pony Express made its first historic run in April 1860. Despite its long-lived reputation, it lasted only 18 months,
45、 until October 1861; The Pony Express was a fast, efficient operation, but even with its high prices (averaging $1 to $5 an ounce and sometimes totaling $1,000 in receipts in a single day), it failed completely as a financial venture. Its expenses far surpassed receipts. Even though the Pony Express
46、 was credited with helping to keep California in the Union at the outbreak of the Civil War, the organization never received any financial assistance from Congress. More than 190 stations were built for the Pony (as, it, was familiarly called). Five hundred horses and 80 riders were useD. Most of th
47、e riders were seasoned scouts and skillful guides; all were expert horsemen. Each rider changed horses three times in his 90-mile shift per day, covering some of the most dangerous territory in the West. The ponies were usually half-breed California mustangs quick and full of endurance. The basic eq
48、uipment of the Pony Expressa leather vest, or mochila, containing the mail was placed over the saddle of the animal. Designed for its lightness and ability to be transferred quickly from horse to horse, the mochila had four leather cantinas, or boxes, sewn to it to carry the mail. Openings in the fr
49、ont of the mochila allowed it to fit snugly over the saddle, yet when a rider came into a station, he had only to jerk free the mochila and throw it onto another saddled, fresh horse, and he was on his way. To ensure the privacy of the mails, the four pockets containing the letters, which were wrapped in oiled silk for protection, were locked from St. Joseph to Sacramento.（分数：6.00）(1).What does this passage mainly discuss? A. The development of the post office from the Pony Express. B.
