24、ly the question is asked of a man in action a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? Hell probably say, “Fine, Im all right,“ but you have put a bug (小虫子 ) in his ear maybe now hes not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have se
25、en something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked (忽略 ) that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else “How do you feel?“ Every question has its time and place.
26、Its perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?“ if youre visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, its no asking him that silly question. When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer
27、of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him, “How do you feel?“ Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,“ he said, “either you feel all right or youre dead.“ 58 According to the writer, greetings such as “How do you feel?“ _. （ A） show ones consideration for others （ B） are a good way

30、Oct. 12, 1989, some Chinese scientists were working at the computers to look for the information they needed. Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright spots crossing the computers screens. At the same moment the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening, they stopped their wor
31、k to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses (病毒 ). Obviously all these computers had been infected (传染 ) by computer viruses. It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fo
32、nd of playing tricks. They all have excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. This kind of computer viruses is named Jerusalem (耶路撒冷 ) Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the
33、 functions, damaging normal programs or even getting rid of all the information. We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Fridays and that they are spreading to a lot of computers. Among the countries that suffered computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switze
34、rland and the US. But till now, how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem. 62 The group of young men created the viruses to _. （ A） damage all the computers （ B） test their good ability （ C） play tricks on operators of the computers （ D） attack foreign computer experts 63 According to

We
38、can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle. There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapor in clouds condenses (凝结 ). Drops of water form and fall to the g
39、round. The water soaks into the ground and feeds streams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapor. The vapor rises onto the air. Water vapor is norm
40、ally invisible. On a very damp of humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapor rising from a puddle (水坑 ) or pond in a mist (薄雾 ) above the water. Water vapor also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapor from th
41、eir leaves. People and land animal drink water and breathe out water vapor. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail (冰雹 ) fall instead because bo
42、th eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist (潮湿 ) in the tropics (热带 ) than in the cold polar regions. 66 What is the main idea of the passage? （ A） Water cycle. （ B） Water vapor. （ C） How rain forms? （ D） Water, vapor, rai
43、n. 67 How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text? （ A） Two. （ B） Three. （ C） Four. （ D） Five. 68 Whether water vapor can be seen or not depends on_. （ A） how much water is evaporated （ B） how good your eyes are （ C） in which way water is evaporated （ D） climate or weat
44、her 69 From the passage we get to know _. （ A） there is more water vapor in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regions （ B） there is more water vapor in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics （ C） it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar region because there are fewer vap
45、ors （ D） the amount of water vapor in the air depends on how often it rains 69 I feel very excited at the thought that in another week I shall be with you again on holiday. I have enjoyed my stay in England very much indeed. Mr. Brown and classmates are nice to me, but, as they say in England, “Ther
46、es no place like home,“ and I think you feel this above all at Christmas time. I am leaving here early on Thursday, the 23rd, and I shall arrive in Basle on Friday morning, so I shall be home somewhere about lunchtime. Can you meet me at the station, as I shall have a lot of luggage? In some of my e
47、arlier letters I have told you all about the other students here, well, I want to ask my Polish friend Jan to come and spend Christmas with us. Will that be all right? His father and mother died last year, he can not go home for Christmas, and he has no friend in England except the Browns. He is a n
48、ice boy. I know you all like him, and I feel sure he will enjoy Christmas with us. It is very short notice, but you are always pleased, I know, if we bring our friends home.
