He left them in his car in a quiet street. Then he bought other things at other shops. At six oclock he came back to the car. One window was
22、 open-and the books were not there! David drove home to Fry Road. That night he wrote a letter to a newspaper. The next day he went to the police. On Friday people read this in the newspaper: BOOK: Have you any old books? I buy old and modern books. Open all day on Saturdays. David Moore,26 Fry Road
23、. David stayed at home on Saturday. His first visitor came at .eight oclock. David took him to the kitchen. At half past nine another man arrived. He had a bag under his arm. “Mr. Moore? the man asked. “Thats right. “David said. “Can I help you?“ “Ive got some good book. You buy books, dont you?“ “Y
24、es. Bring them in. Ill have a look at them.“ Soon the books were on the dining-table. “Come in now, “David called, “and bring the list.“ A policeman came into the dining-room.

28、 skies, he saw a lot of things. In the universe(宇宙 ),the earth seemed to be just a small bit of dust. It is only a small planet, and travels around the sum The sun together with its planets, travels in the Milky Way(银河 ), our galaxy(星系 ). The Milky Way has about thirty billion stars like our sun, an
29、d is one of about a hundred million galaxies in the universe Because the space (空间 )is so great, it is difficult to work out how far away a star is. Instead of kilometres, we have light-years. A light-year means how far light travels in one year. Our nearest neighbour galaxy is more than 9000,000 li
30、ght-years away from the earth. 52 Man has known that _. （ A） the Milky Way is the only galaxy （ B） other galaxies are near ours （ C） the sun is a large star in the Milky Way （ D） the earth is a small part of the universe 53 A galaxy is the name of _. （ A） a large group Of stars （ B） the sun （ C） pla

32、ly. Her husband had a factory in the town. One of her sons was a lawyer and the other two were drivers. And her two daughters worked in the post office. The old woman stayed at home and could do all housework and wouldnt employ any body. One evening, the telephone rang while the old woman was prepar
33、ing supper. She went to answer it. She was told that one of her sons died in a traffic accident- She heard this and fell in a faint (晕倒 ). When she came back to life, she was in hospital. And she needed to be helped after that. Several months later she was told on the telephone her daughter died whi
34、le she was being operated on. The old woman was so sad that she had to be in hospital again. From then on she was afraid to answer any telephones and sometimes she was afraid to hear the bell. Of course it brought them some trouble and some important business was held up(耽误 ). So her husband advised
35、 her to see a psychiatrist(精神病医生 ). The man examined her carefully and then asked her some questions. “Youll soon be all right if you follow my advice, Mrs. Keller, “said the psychiatrist. The old woman took the medicine the doctor gave on time and tried to forget her dead son and daughter. And two
36、months later she went to see the psychiatrist again. “Youve saved me, Doctor, “the old woman said, as soon as she saw him, “Are you afraid to answer the telephones now?“ “No,“ answered Mrs. Keller. “I dare(敢 )answer it whether it rings or not!“ 56 Mrs. Keller could do all housework because _. （ A） s
37、he had no money to employ a helper （ B） she was strong enough to do all at home （ C） she-didnt believe anybody （ D） only she was free at home 57 The old woman fell in a faint because _. （ A） she went to answer the telephone （ B） she was very ill that evening （ C） she walked in the room carelessly （

39、ad news 60 What difference does it make if we read texts displayed on a computer screen instead of on paper printed with ink? The computer certainly does not guarantee deeper comprehension, greater subtlety of mind, or a wider range of imaginative reference. The mediation of a computer, however, put
40、s new powers at the disposal of intelligence. For one thing, the computer itself can do simple reading-as I have noted, it can “read“ an immense body of literature in search of designated(指定的 )words. As anyone knows who has ever spent days in libraries in search of errant information, simply identif
41、ying relevant sources absorbs inordinate amounts of time in research. The objection may be raised that a search of texts by computer may block the occasional(偶然发现的 )discoveries that occur while browsing in the stacks of great libraries. No member of the academy need fear that the use of a computer w
42、ill keep him from the stacks, but browsing is, if anything, easier if texts can be called up on a screen in the serenity(宁静 )of ones chosen surroundings. The great deficiency of libraries, as we know them, is that while titles are catalogued, the libraries have no master indexes of the contents of b
43、ooks. Individual volumes, it is true r have indexes, often of inferior quality, but even the best indexes must be examined one at a time. The great advantage of the electronic library is that a computer could search and analyze its contents without proceeding volume by volume. As work in artificial
44、intelligence develops, computer systems may also become adept at more complex tasks, such as summarizing texts, which has been accomplished experimentally. 60 What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage? （ A） The deficiencies of the library in providing information. （ B） The different app
45、lications of the computer and the library. （ C） The advantages and disadvantages of the computer and library. （ D） The advantages of the computer in search of information. 61 In the expression “an immense body of literature“(Para. 1), the underlined word “literature“ is nearest in meaning to _. （ A）
46、 specific information for a research （ B） printed material in general （ C） words that are designated （ D） fiction written by famous writers 62 The writer believes that reading by the computer is advisable chiefly because it _. （ A） saves a lot of time to find information needed （ B） reads more effic
47、iently than a human mind （ C） covers a much wider range of reference （ D） guarantees reading efficiency and validity 63 According to the context, the underlined“ simple reading“(Para. 1)done by the computer most probably refers to _. （ A） rending in search of intended information only （ B） looking f
48、or unexpected information only （ C） reading to locate text to be used in teaching （ D） reading to set up superior master indexes 64 The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would mak
49、e sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structrue of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, We can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and
