19、 everyday, but most of us dont understand nutrition (营养). We often make mistakes in talking about good diet.For example, many people think that food, such as rice, bread and potatoes, will make one grow fat. In fact, those food are very good to ones health. They are good sources of many vitamins (维他
20、命). And in comparison with steak and beef, they contain less amount of calories.Some people dont like canned or frozen vegetables, because they think fresh vegetables cooked at home are always better. This is again wrong. In fact, whether the vegetables are good or not depends more on how they are p
21、repared. Overcooking, for example, destroys many good qualities of vegetables. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a large amount of vitamins.It is widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesnt make it function better.It is also wrong to
22、 say that vegetables grown in poor, worn-out soil are lower in vitamins than vegetables grown in rich soil. The vitamins in our foods are in the plants themselves. They dont come from the soil. However the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil.In short, there are many false ideas ab
23、out nutrition. We need to correct them.50 This passage is mainly about _.（A）nutrition（B） vitamins（C） vegetables（D）health51 Why dont some people like canned and frozen vegetables?（A）They think fresh vegetables contain less vitamins.（B） They think fresh vegetables contain more vitamins than the canned
24、 or frozen ones.（C） They dont think the canned or frozen vegetables are fresh.（D）They dont think the canned or frozen vegetables taste as good as the fresh.52 Which of the following is true according to the passage?（A）Many people know almost everything about nutrition.（B） Food, such as rice, bread a
25、nd potatoes, makes people fat.（C） Vegetables grown in poor, worn-out soil may are not worse than those grown in rich soil.（D）Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always better.53 In many stories on TV and in science-fiction books, men travel to faraway stars. They have quick, easy journeys. But so fa
26、r, men have been able to reach only the earths own moon.Suppose a man wanted to reach a distant star. Even if he traveled his whole life, he would have to move faster than the speed of light. Nothing can move that fast except light itself.Strange things happen to an object when it moves rapidly. The
27、 object weighs more. An object moving at 86 percent of the speed of light is twice as heavy as it is at rest. A stick appears shorter. A clock runs more slowly. A man would not age so fast as he would on the earth.Light travels more than 186, 000 miles a second, or about 11 million miles a minute. I
28、n one year, light travels six trillion(万亿) miles. That great distance is called a light-year. It is used to measure distances in space.The star closest to our sun is Alpha Centrauri (半人马座 a 星). It is more than four lightyears away. If one traveled at the speed of light, he could make a round trip to
29、 Alpha Centauri in nine years. But, even at that speed, he could not reach Alcaid (北斗星)in the handle of the Big Dipper. A one-way journey to Alcaid would take almost 200 years!53 Why do we measure the distance in light-years instead of miles?（A）Units of light-years sound better.（B） Using light-years
30、 reduced the number of figures used.（C） We used to measure distance in light-years long ago.（D）We do not make mistakes when we use light-years.54 If a stone moved at the speed of light, it _.（A）would weigh twice more than it is motionless（B） would weigh as much as it is on earth（C） would weigh less
31、than it is on earth（D）would have no weight at all55 This story is mainly about _.（A）the distance between the sun and the other stars（B） the problems of traveling to faraway stars（C） what happens when we travel faster than the speed of light（D）the tool we use when we measure the distance of faraway s
32、tars56 Bananas are widely believed to grow on trees: this is incorrect. The banana is a plant which finishes all its growth in one year, reaching a height of 30 feet. Bananas have a subterranean (地下的) stem from which come large, green leaves. The plant reaches its maturity in about 18 months.As the
33、bunches of bananas mature and the fruit develops, they can be propped (支撑) up with poles and covered with blue polyethylene (聚乙烯) bags. These prevent injury, protect against the frost, and speed ripening by increasing heat and humidity.Once the bananas plant has produced its fruit, the mother plant
34、dies and is replaced by pups (sucker plants). These grow next to the parent and make a new generation of banana plants.56 What would be the best title for this passage?（A）Beliefs About Banana Plants（B） The Growth of a Banana Plant to Maturity（C） A Year in the Life of a Banana Plant（D）Bananas Plants:
35、 from Birth to Maturity57 Why are “blue polyethylene bags“ mentioned in paragraph 2?（A）They are used to prop up bananas.（B） They protect growing bananas and speed ripening.（C） They help increase heat and humidity and so prevent injury.（D）Bunches of bananas are always covered with them.58 What is the
36、 main idea of the last paragraph?（A）How the banana plant produces its fruit.（B） How a sucker plant is called a pup.（C） The death of mother plants.（D）The growth of sucker plants.59 Another way of expressing the last sentence underlined is_.（A）sucker plants grow beside the parent plant and create new
37、banana plants（B） a new generation of parent plants grows next to the sucker plants（C） growing next to the parent plant helps sucker plants make a new generation of banana plants（D）parent plants have sucker plants growing beside them: two generations of plants thus grow together60 Most Americans dont
38、 like to get advice from members of his family. When they need advice, they dont usually ask people they know. Instead, many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which give advice on many different subjects, including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care,
39、clothes, and how to buy a house or a car.Most newspapers regularly print letters from readers with problems. Along with the letters there are answers written by people who are supposed to know how to solve such problems. Some of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers or educators. But two of
40、the most famous writers of advice are women without special training for this kind of work. One of them answers letters addressed to“ Dear Abby“. The other is addressed as“ Dear Ann Landers“. Experience is their preparation for giving advice.There is one writer who has not lived long enough to have
41、much experience. She is a girl named Angel Cavalieve, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her advice to young readers now appears regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin in a column called DEAR ANGEL.60 The passage shows us when Americans need advice they often get it
42、from _.（A）women（B） books（C） letters（D）strangers61 Which of the four persons listed below is NOT mentioned as adviser?（A）A doctor.（B） A teacher.（C） A writer.（D）A lawyer.62 According to the passage, newspapers and magazines do not advise on how to _.（A）keep fit（B） take care of the kids（C） repair a car
43、（D）treat the generation gap between parents and their children63 From the example of Dear Angel we have the idea that as an adviser, the person _.（A）does not have to be very experienced（B） must be a professional（C） should be a know-all（D）does not necessarily need to know how to write64 In the last s
44、entence of the passage, the word “column“ means _.（A）a pillar used in a building（B） a large number of people（C） anything looking like a pillar in shape（D）a regular article by a particular writer, which appears in a newspaper65 Every human being has a unique (惟一的) arrangement of the skin on his finge
45、rs and this arrangement is unchangeable. Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.The ridge(脊状) structure on a persons fingers does not change with
46、 growth and is not affect- ed by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed. Some criminals make
47、use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.Finger-prints can be made very easily with printers ink. They can be recorded easily. With special methods, identification(识别) can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity
48、and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind
49、at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Special techniques are used to“ develop“ them. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.65 Scientists and experts have proved that the pattern of a human beings finger skin _.（A）is similar to his mothers（B） is valuable to himself only（C） is like that of ot
