26、 to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop(拖把 ). She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors. “ “Yes. Im glad they ve finally decided to clean them,“ the nurse said.

27、But arent you working late?“ Mum just pushed harder, each swipe(拖 )of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall.

32、. （ C） Changeable. （ D） Clever. 62 In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet(彗星 ). When the fragments(碎片 )landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hi
33、t 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 caused panic. On 17 July, a fragment four kilometres wide enters the Earth s atmosphere w
34、ith 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. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the
35、 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 the north won t escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by th
36、e 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 more than 10 million people have survived. Could it really happen? In fact, it has alread
37、y 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 was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn t survive in the cold climate that foll

40、never live in the same age. 65 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） tell the historical development of the Earth （ D） warn of a possible disaster in the f
41、uture 66 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 66 It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different
42、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 and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. There was
43、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 decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something. He was just wr
44、iting 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-collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the differe
45、nce was now returned to the taxpayer. 67 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 one s children are （ D） where one lives 68 The word “proper“ in the first line of the second para

47、ist? （ A） To send him a new tax form. （ B） To return the money over-paid. （ C） To remind him of paying the tax. （ D） To explain the rules of tax-paying. 70 It is reported that over 300 million people in China are suffering from nearsightedness(近视 ). As more children have got eye trouble, their paren
48、ts hope to cure the disease by medicine, equipment or by correcting the way children read and sit. But in fact the care given to one s eyes should start with the exercise on one s feet. Three methods on how to protect eyes are as follows: Firstly, dont fasten your shoes too tightly. Try wearing loos
49、e socks or walking barefooted at home. When traveling, try wearing cloth shoes so as to make blood circulation(循环 )easier. Secondly, walking on tiptoes will help improve one s eyesight, and prevent nearsightedness. Figures show that few ballet(芭蕾舞 )performers are nearsighted.
