21、er shops. At six oclock he came back to the car. One window was openand the books were not there! David drove home to Fry Road. That night he wrote a letter to a newspaper.

22、dern books. Open all day on Saturdays. David Moore, 26 Fry Road. David stayed at home on Saturday. His first visitor came at eight oclock. David took him to the kitchen.

It is only a small planet, and travels around the sun. The sun together with its planets, travels in the Milky Way(银河 ), our g
28、alaxy(星系 ). The Milky Way has about thirty billion stars like our sun, and is one of about a hundred million galaxies in the universe. Because the space (空间 )is so great, it is difficult to work out how far away a star is. Instead of kilometres, we have light-years. A light-year means how far light
29、travels in one year. Our nearest neighbour galaxy is more than 9000,000 light-years away from the earth. 52 Man has known that _ . （ A） the Milky Way is the only galaxy （ B） other galaxies are near ours （ C） the sun is a large star in the Milky Way （ D） the earth is a small part of the universe 53 A

31、） metres （ C） light-years （ D） months and years 56 Mrs. Keller had a big family. Her husband had a factory in the town. One of her sons was a lawyer and the other two were drivers. And her two daughters worked in the post office. The old woman stayed at home and could do all housework and wouldnt em
32、ploy anybody. One evening, the telephone rang while the old woman was preparing supper. She went to answer it. She was told that one of her sons died in a traffic accident. She heard this and fell in a faint(晕倒 ). When she came back to life, she was in hospital. And she needed to be helped after tha
33、t. Several months later she was told on the telephone her daughter died while she was being operated on. The old woman was so sad that she had to be in hospital again. From then on she was afraid to answer any telephones and sometimes she was afraid to hear the bell. Of course it brought them some t
34、rouble and some important business was held up(耽误 ). So her husband advised her to see a psychiatrist(精神病医生 ). The man examined her carefully and then asked her some questions. “Youll soon be all right if you follow my advice, Mrs. Keller, “said the psychiatrist. The old woman took the medicine the
35、doctor gave on time and tried to forget her dead son and daughter. And two months later she went to see the psychiatrist again. “Youve saved me , Doctor , “the old woman said, as soon as she saw him. “Are you afraid to answer the telephones now?“ “No,“ answered Mrs. Keller. “I dare(敢 )answer it whet
36、her it rings or not!“ 56 Mrs. Keller could do all housework because _ . （ A） she had no money to employ a helper （ B） she was strong enough to do all at home （ C） she didnt believe anybody （ D） only she was free at home 57 The old woman fell in a faint because _ . （ A） she went to answer the telepho

38、vice （ B） Her husbands suggestion （ C） Her poor health （ D） The two pieces of bad news 60 What difference does it make if we read texts displayed on a computer screen instead of on paper printed with ink? The computer certainly does not guarantee deeper comprehension, greater subtlety of mind, or a
39、wider range of imaginative reference. The mediation of a computer, however, puts new powers at the disposal of intelligence. For one thing, the computer itself can do simple reading as I have noted, it can “read“ an immense body of literature in search of designated(指定的 )words. As anyone knows who h
40、as ever spent days in libraries in search of errant information, simply identifying relevant sources absorbs inordinate amounts of time in research. The objection may be raised that a search of texts by computer may block the occasional(偶然发现的 )discoveries that occur while browsing in the stacks of g
41、reat libraries. No member of the academy need fear that the use of a computer will keep him from the stacks, but browsing is, if anything, easier if texts can be called up on a screen in the serenity(宁静 )of ones chosen surroundings. The great deficiency of libraries, as we know them, is that while t
42、itles are catalogued, the libraries have no master indexes of the contents of books. Individual volumes, it is true, have indexes, often of inferior quality, but even the best indexes must be examined one at a time. The great advantage of the electronic library is that a computer could search and an
43、alyze its contents without proceeding volume by volume. As work in artificial intelligence develops, computer systems may also become adept at more complex tasks, such as summarizing texts, which has been accomplished experimentally. 60 What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage? （ A） Th
44、e deficiencies of the library in providing information. （ B） The different applications of the computer and the library. （ C） The advantages and disadvantages of the computer and library. （ D） The advantages of the computer in search of information. 61 In the expression“ an immense body of literatur
45、e(Para. 1), the underlined word“ literature“ is nearest in meaning to _ . （ A） specific information for a research （ B） printed material in general （ C） words that are designated （ D） fiction written by famous writers 62 The writer believes that reading by the computer is advisable chiefly because i
46、t _ . （ A） saves a lot of time to find information needed （ B） reads more efficiently than a human mind （ C） covers a much wider range of reference （ D） guarantees reading efficiency and validity 63 According to the context, the underlined“ simple reading“(Para. 1)done by the computer most probably
47、refers to _ . （ A） rending in search of intended information only （ B） looking for unexpected information only （ C） reading to locate text to be used in teaching （ D） reading to set up superior master indexes 64 The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An e
48、stimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structrue of
49、American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, We can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Person
