For two hundred years, Japan remained and isolated from the rest of the world. It doubted of western ways. In 1854, Com
27、modore Perry of the U.S. Navy sailed into Tokyo Bay. When he showed the people inventions like the telegraph and railroad train, Japan realized what it was missing. Japan has quickly caught up with western technology. It may have even gone past it. Japan has a population of over 116, 000, 000. The p
28、eople are thickly settled on the four main islands. Since only one sixth of the land is arable, Japan relies on imported food. To pay for the imports, Japan exports manufactured goods. Japan builds and sells cars, motorcycles, television sets, radios and cameras. Textiles and chemicals also made. In
29、 Yokohama Harbor, ships are constructed for use by other nations. The“ head start“ western nations had may be the reason for Japans success today. Western countries are still using machines and technology that they developed many years ago. Japan is using newer, improved methods. For example, robots
30、 are relieving factory-workers of long, tiring jobs. Modern technology has brought modern problems. Air and water quality reached dangerous levels in some parts of Japan in the late 1960s. Since then, the Japanese government has applied strong pollution controls. 56 The main idea of the passage is t
31、hat Japan _. （ A） surprises the world （ B） suffers from serious air and water pollution （ C） leads in exporting goods （ D） leads in technology in the world today 57 Japan started to catch up with western technology from _. （ A） the 20th century （ B） the year 1854 （ C） the late 1960s （ D） 200 years a
32、go 58 With which of the following statements would the author probably NOT agree? （ A） Japan may have got ahead of western technology. （ B） Robots relieve factory workers of boring jobs. （ C） The technological“ head start “western nations is not helping them succeed today. （ D） Factory workers are u
33、nhappy to be replaced by robots. 59 The underlined word“ arable“ most nearly means“ _“. （ A） thickly settled （ B） suitable for farming （ C） fit for mining （ D） unable to be improved 60 These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environme
34、ntally friendly houses, factories, and offices. Green building means“ reducing the impact(影响 )of the building on the land“, Taryn Holowka of the U. S. Green Building Council in Washington,DC, said. According to Holowka, building account for(占了 )65 percent of total U.S. electricity use. But green bui
35、lding can reduce energy and water use. Also, the building are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green building are often built on d
36、eveloped land, so that the buildings dont destroy forests. Marty Dealing is project manger for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the countrys first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “Weve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 pe
37、rcent.“ The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the suns energy into electricity,“ Dealing explained. The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of
38、 windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water reusing it. Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “Its going t
39、o be big.“ 60 In the second paragraph, the underlined words “the building“ most probably refer to _. （ A） an ordinary building （ B） an energy-saving building （ C） a green-colored building （ D） a water-reducing building 61 A green building is often built on an area of land _. （ A） which has thick for
40、ests around （ B） which has already been for buildings （ C） where people of high income live （ D） where was wasted by people 62 When Holowka says in the last paragraph,“ Its going to be big“, she means that green buildings _. （ A） will be more comfortable （ B） will become popular in future （ C） will
41、be more environmentally friend （ D） will be more bigger than before 63 When is the main subject discussed in the text? （ A） Dealing designed the first green building in the U.S. （ B） Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design. （ C） Green building help save environment. （ D） Green building is
42、popular among people. 64 We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When
43、 cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移 )is probably the migration of fish, which is called“salmon“. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water.
44、 There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birth- place in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to
45、 the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea. Recently, scientists have studied the migration of kind of lobster (龙虾 ). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why the
46、y do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we dont. Maybe living things just like to travel. 64 Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _. （ A） give birth （ B） enjoy warmer weathe
47、r （ C） find food more easily （ D） find beautiful places 65 The mice in northern Europe move when _. （ A） they give birth （ B） the weather is bad （ C） the place gets too crowded （ D） they havent enough food 66 The lobsters move _. （ A） w the fresh water （ B） to the sea floor （ C） at a certain time （
48、D） to find more food 67 What is the main idea of the passage? （ A） Animals move in order to find food more easily. （ B） The migration of the fish called “salmon“ is the most famous migration. （ C） Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel. （ D） Sometimes we know why an
49、d how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we dont. 68 In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors. The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People th
