I didn t have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the windowStar Bar. There were
25、 some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of the bar. They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts: even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables wi
26、th their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning themselves unenthusiastically(无精打采地 )with magazines. “ He s not here,“ I said, after a quick look around. The television was speaking out an advertisement for a detergent(洗衣粉 ), and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture
27、of a woman proudly showing how white her husband s underwear was after having been washed. They took no notice of us at all. “Well, what did you expect?“ replied Fergus, yawning(打呵欠 ). “ Its only half past nine, and he said he would be here at nine. You ought to know Graig by this time. Hell turn up
28、 sometime after ten. “ 54 The writer and his friend_. （ A） had never been to that bar before （ B） did not know if they had come to the right place （ C） asked somebody the name of the bar （ D） had little difficulty in finding the bar 55 What does the underlined word “stifling“(Paragraph 1)probably me

31、s. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in your house. Specialists(专家 )advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Diffe
32、rent dogs were developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote(投入 )a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the e
33、xercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where there is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.
34、 The first consideration in buying a dog is whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relations
35、hip with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets. 58 Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? （ A） You can always get help
36、from the specialists. （ B） It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog. （ C） You should decide what kind of dog you want. （ D） Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too. 59 What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog? （ A） The color of the dog. （ B）
37、 The price of the dog. （ C） Whether the dog will fit the environment. （ D） Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house. 60 A dog is a more demanding pet than a cat because_. （ A） it must be trained so that it won t bite （ B） it demands more food and space （ C） it needs more love
38、and care （ D） it must be looked after carefully 61 Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old? （ A） It s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old. （ B） They are less likely to be shy with human beings. （ C） They are less likely to run away. （ D） It s easier for them to form a
39、relationship with their masters. 62 The underlined word “affection“(Line 12 13)refers to_. （ A） love （ B） effect （ C） tie （ D） relationship 62 Every year landslides(滑坡 )cause 25 to 50 deaths and $1.5 billion in damage in the United States. They account for 15 percent of the deaths from natural disas
40、ters in Europe. And in December, a single event killed more than 200 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize mountainsides using steel bars and cement(水泥 )can help prevent disasters, but it introduces new difficulties. Shaking drills produce harmful dust and loosen heavy, dangerous d
41、ebris(岩屑 ). “ It s quite a risky job,“says Giorgio Pezzuto of D Appolonia, an engineering company in Italy. DAppolonia, working with eight other companies, may have an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber. “The idea is to operate a machine far away that can drill without a human being on boa
42、rd,“ says Pezzuto, the manager for the project, which is supported by the European Commission. Engineers claim that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor. The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged mechanical spider, has cost at least $2 million so far. The final product shou
43、ld be able to climb unstable mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement, and collect data on the stability. Testing should begin in May. 63 The underlined word “event“(Paragraph 1)refers to_. （ A） landslide （ B） machine （ C） earthquake （ D） flood 64 What is the purpose in writing this text?
44、（ A） Telling people how serious the damage caused by landslides is. （ B） Telling people that sending workers to stabilize mountainsides is a risky job. （ C） Introducing a product that can be used to stabilize mountainsides. （ D） Showing people how to use a new product. 65 What does the robot look li
45、ke? （ A） A human being. （ B） A spider. （ C） A truck. （ D） A drill. 66 The biggest advantage of this product is that_. （ A） it will be faster and cheaper than manual labor （ B） it can climb mountainsides, drill holes, insert bars and cement （ C） it can collect data on the slope s stability （ D） it ca
46、n drill without a human being on board 66 To fight a noise by making more noise sounds strange, but that s exactly what motor engineers are doing in Germany and some other countries. Carmaker s research and development laboratories have already proved that mixing more noise with the help of loudspea
47、kers can reduce the unwanted noise. Physicists have known about the technique for a long time. Sound is made up of pressure waves in the air. If two sound waves of the same frequency(频率 )mix so that the highest point of one wave happens at the same time as the lowest point of the other wave, the res
48、ult is no sound. Therefore, by producing a perfect copy of the noise and delaying it by half a wave cycle(周期 ),we can kill the unwanted noise. Using this technique many carmakers are racing to develop noise killing systems(系统 )both inside and outside the cars. Another good thing about the use of noi
49、se killing systems is that it saves the need for a silencer: this not only reduces the weight of a car, but also makes the motor burn less fuel and work better. Some engineers believe that the noise killing system will be used in most cars within a few years. But the carmakers havent decided if they will carry it into production beca
