22、5 Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners(路边小餐馆)for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man na
23、med Walter Scott had the first “diner“ in 1872. It wasn t really a diner. It was only a food eart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel J
24、ones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a din
25、er at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Diners today look similar to the diners of th
26、e early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in amodern diner.Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonalds and Burger King. However, the diner rem
27、ains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.56 A man named Walter Scott had the First “diner“ in 18Why is diner in quotation marks(引导) ?（A）Because it is spelled differently from “dinner“.（B） Because the fir
28、st diner was not a real diner.（C） Because diner was a new word.（D）Because it is a special kind of restaurant.57 What meals did the first diners serve?（A）Only breakfast.（B） Only lunch.（C） Only supper.（D）All of the above.58 According to paragraph 3, diners changed in_.（A）two ways（B） three ways（C） four
29、 ways（D）five ways59 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?（A）Diners existed before fast-food restaurants.（B） The menu included more food than sandwiches and coffee.（C） Burger King is a fast-food restaurant.（D）Sandwiches became bigger.59 Because we can feel that things are heavy
30、, we think of weight as being a fixed quality of an object, but it is not really fixed at all. If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4, 000 miles out away from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound.Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the
31、earth if we took them 4, 000 miles out into space? The reason is this: All objects have a natural attraction for all other objects; this is called gravitational attraction, but this power of attraction between two objects gets weaker as they get farther apart. When the butter was at the surface of t
32、he earth, it was 4, 000 miles from the centre (in other words the radius(半径) of the earth is 4, 000 miles). When we took the butter 4, 000 miles out, it was 8, 000 miles from the centre, which is twice the distance.If you double the distance between two objects, their gravitational attraction decrea
33、ses four times weaker (two times two). If you treble(翻三倍)the distance, it gets nine times weaker (three times three). If you take it four times as far away, it gets sixteen times weaker (four times four) and so on.60 The best title for this passage is_.（A）The Earth Weight（B） Weight in Space（C） Chang
34、ing Weight on the Earth（D）Weight on and off the Earth61 We can feel things are heavy because_.（A）weight is a fixed quality of an object（B） they are far away from the centre of the earth（C） of the earths strong attraction for them（D）they are not taken away from the surface of the earth62 If the dista
35、nce between two objects is shortened by half, their gravitational attractions will_.（A）double（B） become four times stronger（C） be the same（D）get four times weaker63 If an object weighed one pound 8, 000 miles above the earth, it would weigh_on the surface of the earth.（A）6 pounds（B） 4 pounds（C） 9 po
36、unds（D）1/9 pound63 Our surroundings are being polluted faster than ever and it seems that people cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.What can explain and settle this probl
37、em? The fact is that pollution is caused by manby his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization(工业化)“ our first aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people
38、 from the countryside into the cities, eager for the achievements of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.Isn t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It makes one think of the s
39、tory about the pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker; “I ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is mat we re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we are lost and don t know where we re going. “ The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when
40、speaking of our modern society.64 Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted because_.（A）the population of the world is increasing faster（B） people use too many man-made materials（C） we have more industry（D）we are producing more cars, trucks and buses65 According to the passage, what does man
41、care most among me following?（A）Health.（B） Industry.（C） Clean air.（D）The future of the children.66 The story about the pilot tells us that_.（A）man doesnt know where the society is going（B） people dont welcome the rapid development of modern society（C） man can do little about the problem of pollution
42、（D）the speaker is worried about the future of our society67 What does the writer really want to say in the passage?（A）With me development of technology, pollution has become a serious problem.（B） We should control the speed of the development to stop pollution.（C） Its time we did something to reduce
43、 pollution.（D）As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.67 Some of the notebooks of young Washingtons are now kept in me museum. They show that he was learning Latin and was fond of reading English novels. At school he seemed only to be interested in math. In fact, his schooling w
44、as surprisingly short for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to college of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamburg. He received less formal education man some other early.American presidents such as Adams, Jefferson and
45、 Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack (缺乏)of formal training. He never felt comfortable in a debate(辩论)in congress (国会), or on any subject mat had nothing to do with practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders,
46、he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.68 What reason does the passage give for Washingtons not going to college?（A）A college education was uncommon in his times.（B） His family was too poor to send him to college.（C） he didnt like t
47、he young Virginian gentlemen who went to college.（D）The passage doesnt give any reason.69 The reason why he didnt visit France was probably that he_.（A）didnt know the French leaders（B） couldnt talk direcdy with the French leaders（C） didnt really care about going there（D）was always very busy70 Which
48、of me following statements is true?（A）Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen.（B） Washingtons lack of formal education placed him in an unfavourable position in his later life.（C） Washington was as good a president as Adams, Jefferson or Madison.（D）Washington should have gone to Europe ev
49、en though he couldnt speak French.71 The main idea of the passage is mat Washingtons education was_.（A）rather limited for a president（B） good enough for his times（C） not helpful to him（D）more complete than mat of most young gentlemen71 The United States has a new national park. It is me Great Basin. It is me first
