It is not the capital city of the United States
25、(that is Washington, D.C. , where the Preisdent lives) or even the capital city of New York State(that is Albany), but many people call it the greatest city on earth.“ The five parts, or boroughs, of New York City are Manhattan, Queen, Bronz, Richmond and Brooklyn.

30、 to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(读写能力 ).With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Sa
31、lt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Association Dogs (READ). The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below th
32、e level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache, “ said Lisa Myron, manager of the childrens department. Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon“ in the childrens department of the main libra
33、ry. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed“ book at the last class.

When the fragments (碎片 ) landed in the southern part of the giant planet,
37、the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet? The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has
38、 caused panic. On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earths atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads.
39、The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia. Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but th
40、e north wont escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No m
41、ore than 10 million people have survived. Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs(恐龙 ) were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth
42、was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldnt survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct.

43、he coastal cities in Africa are destroyed. （ C） The whole mankind becomes extinct. （ D） The visit of the comet results in wars. 67 Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage? （ A） Because they could only live in the warm climate. （ B） Because they once dominated the earth. （ C）
44、Because their extinction indicates future disasters. （ D） Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age. 68 In writing the passage, the author intends to _. （ A） give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future （ B） prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed （ C
45、） tell the historical development of the Earth （ D） warn of a possible disaster in the future 69 It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n) _. （ A） horror story （ B） news report （ C） research paper （ D） article of popular science 69 It is often difficult for a man to be quite
46、 sure what tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much interest he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on an
47、d so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount. One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he d
48、ecided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something. He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-coll
49、ector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer. 70 It is mentioned in the passage that one has to pay tax according to _. （ A） how much education one has received （ B） whether one is single or married （ C） how old ones children are （ D） where one lives 71 The word “proper“ in the first line of the second paragraph means _.
