After buying some magazines to read on the journey, I made my way to the luggage office to collect the heavy suitcase. I
27、 had left there three days before. There were only a few people waiting, and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. The receipt did not seem to be where I had left it. I emptied the contents of the wallet, and railway tickets, money, scraps of paper, and photographs tumbled out of it;
28、 but no matter how hard I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found. When my turn came, I explained the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. The man looked at me suspiciously as if to say that he had heard this type of story many times and asked me to describe the case. I told him that it was
29、 an old, brown-looking object not different from the many cases I could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. If they were correct, he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the articles I had hurriedly
30、packed and wrote them down as they came to me. After I had done this, I went to look among the shelves. There were hundreds of cases there and for one dreadful moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked the receipt up, he could have easily claimed the case already. This had not happened fo
31、rtunately. For after a time, I found the case lying on its side high up in a corner. After examining the articles inside, the assistant was soon satisfied that it was mine and told me I could take the case away. Again I took out my wallet: this time to pay. I pulled out a ten-shilling note and the “
32、lost”receipt slipped out with it. I could not help blushing and glanced up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he had often seen this happen before too! 46 The writer needed the receipt _. （ A） to claim his suitcase （ B） to pay at the luggage office （ C） to prove t
33、hat he had paid at the luggage office （ D） to prove that he had bought the suitcase 47 The writer felt foolish because _. （ A） he couldnt really lost his receipt （ B） he hadnt really lost his receipt at all （ C） he had to fill in a form （ D） the assistant was laughing at him 48 There werent _ people
34、 waiting at the luggage office. （ A） very much （ B） a lot （ C） lots （ D） very many 49 situation means _. （ A） incident （ B） event （ C） place （ D） position 50 wrote them down means _. （ A） copied them （ B） made a note of them （ C） signed them （ D） pointed at them 50 Water is necessary for life and go
35、od health. We often forget this fact when we think about the other building blocks of life, such as vitamins, minerals and proteins. We can live for many days without eating. However, only two or three days without water usually leads to death. The human body may look solid, but most of it is water.
36、 New-born babies are as much as eighty-five percent water. Women are about sixty five percent water, and men about seventy-five percent. Women usually have less water than men because women, in general, have more fat cells. Fat cells hold less water than other kinds of cells. Water is necessary for
37、cooling the body on hot days, and when we are working hard or exercising. Water carries body heat to the surface of the skin when the heat is lost through perspiration. Researchers note that fat cells block body heat from escaping quickly. Fat cells under the skin act like warm clothing to keep body
38、 heat inside. This is why over-weight people have a more difficult time staying cool than thin people. Researchers also note that cold liquids cool us faster than warm liquids. This is because cold liquids take up more heat inside the body and carry it away faster. They say, however, that cold sweet
39、 drinks do not work well. The sugar slows the liquid from getting into the bloodstream. The body loses water every day through perspiration and urine. If we lose too much, we will become sick. To replace what is lost, health experts say grown persons should drink about two liters of liquids each day
40、, and more in hot weather. They say we also can get some of the water we need in the foods we eat. Most fruits and vegetables have more than eighty percent water. Even bread has about thirty-three percent water. 51 From the passage we learn that among the following four groups of people _. （ A） fat
41、women are over eighty percent water （ B） thin men are never eighty percent water （ C） new-born infants are over eighty percent water （ D） elderly adults are over eighty percent water 52 Why do thin people usually feel better in hot days than fat people? （ A） Thin people perspire less. （ B） Fat peopl
42、e do not sweat as much as thin people do. （ C） Thin people have less heat inside their bodies. （ D） Fat people have more fat cells which keep the heat inside. 53 The author suggests that on hot summer days one should drink _. （ A） warm milk （ B） iced tea （ C） cold Coca-Cola （ D） hot coffee 54 What s
43、hould we do to keep enough water in the body? （ A） To take two liters of water daily all through the year. （ B） To eat everything that contains water. （ C） To take in as much as we have lost. （ D） To drink only when we feel very thirsty. 55 What can we conclude from this passage? （ A） Water is almos
44、t as important as food. （ B） Many people tend to neglect the importance of water. （ C） Water is the origin of life. （ D） Most fruits and vegetables contain much water. 55 Doctors, sixty years ago, could do little to help victims of polio. Serious cases usually ended in death. In 1955, a vaccine was
45、developed that prevented the disease. Today, polio is no longer a major health problem. Many of the most important drugs that doctors prescribe today have been developed in the last 30 years. Modern drugs are complex, specific and powerful. People need to know more about drugs in order to use them s
46、afely. Early people discovered by accident that some of the plants growing around them seemed useful to heal sores, relieve pain, or even cure diseases. These plants were the first drugs. Now plants are still the source of some drugs. Quinine, for example, is a bitter-tasting drug used to treat the
47、chills and fever of malaria and to reduce attacks of the disease. It is made from the bark of the cinchona tree, which grows in the Andes Mountains. The Indians of that region were the first to use the bark as a medicine. The Spanish people probably brought it to Europe in the early 1600s. Chemists
48、learned how to get the pure drug from the bark and in 1944;it was made artificially in the laboratory. Other important drugs, such as hormones and vaccines, are obtained from animals. But most of the modern drugs come from chemical combinations worked out by research scientists. Most people never se
49、e drugs in their simple form as chemicals. Instead, they are seen as tablets, capsules or liquids that contain the drug and other ingredients. People use drugs to get different results. Some drugs attack the organism that causes a disease. They cure by killing the organism. Other drugs relieve what we call the symptoms of the disease, the headache, pain, fever or chills, and make the patient more comfortable. Thes
