I didn t have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon let
24、ters over the window Star Bar. There were 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
25、 thin dogs lay under one of the tables with 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 r
26、ound had their eyes glued to the picture 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 ). “ It s only half past nine, and he said he would be here at nine. You ough
27、t to know Graig by this time.

30、 their companion at some time in their lives. 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
31、the decision depends on common sense. Different 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
32、 the dog when it is young and give it the exercise 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 consequentl
33、y wants him to show proof of his affection. 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
34、 baby dogs have not established a relationship 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
35、 the passage? （ A） You can always get help 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 bu
36、ying a dog? （ A） The color of the dog. （ B） 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 m
37、ore food and space （ C） it needs more love 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
38、 away. （ D） It s easier for them to form a 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
39、15 percent of the deaths from natural disasters in Europe. And there was ever 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 produ
40、ce harmful dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris(岩屑 ). “It s quite a risky job,“says Giorgio Pezzuto of D Appolonia, an engineering company in Italy. D Appolonia, working with eight other companies, may have an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber. “The idea is to operate a machine far awa
41、y that can drill without a human being on board,“ 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 le
42、ast $2 million so far. The final product should 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
43、64 What is the purpose in writing this text? （ 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
44、a new product. 65 What does the robot look like? （ 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 col
45、lect data on the slope s stability （ D） it can 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 tha
46、t mixing more noise with the help of loudspeakers 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 a
47、s the lowest point of the other wave, the result 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
48、 cars. Another good thing about the use of noise 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 y
49、ears. But the carmakers haven t decided if they will carry it into production because it would add several hundred dollars to the cost of their cars. 67 Which of the following gives a general idea of how the noise killing system works? （ A） By producing pressure waves going in the opposite direction. （ B） By mixing high frequen
