23、s ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid got higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves hit ag
24、ainst the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little living things there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the soil, water and air. While many
25、 animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider made its web uselessly, because there were no insects (昆虫) for its web to catch. Insects couldnt stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the first life on this new island.61 The passage centers on_.（A）how an u
26、ndersea volcano broke out（B） how an island rose up in the sea（C） how soil was formed on a new island（D）how life began on a volcano-produced island62 According to the passage, the island got its first soil from_.（A）sea waves（B） the sand brought by the wind（C） its own rock（D）cool rains63 The word “nak
27、ed“ (in para. 3) could be replaced by which of the following?（A）Red.（B） New.（C） Old.（D）Bare.64 The order of coming into being on the island is_.（A）soil, plants and animals（B） soil, little creatures and plants（C） soil, birds and plants（D）soil, human beings and animals65 According to the passage, whic
28、h of the following is TRUE?（A）Spiders were the first life that could live on the island.（B） The island is far away from any piece of land.（C） Insects could not live on the island without plants.（D）Plants were brought to the island by human beings.65 Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899
29、in Oak Park, Illinois. In the nearly sixty two years of his life that followed, he built a literary fame unsurpassed (无法超越)in the twentieth century.As a boy he was taught by his father to hunt and fish along the shores and in the forests around Lake Michigan. The Hemingways had a summer house in nor
30、thern Michigan, and the family would spend the summer months there trying to stay cool. Hemingway would either fish the different streams that ran into the lake, or would take the small boat out to do some fishing there. He would also go squirrel hunting in the woods, discovering early in life the p
31、eace to be found while alone in the forest or going through a stream. It was something he could always go back to throughout his life, and though he often found himself living in major cities like Chicago, Toronto and Paris early in his life, once he became successful he chose somewhat isolated plac
32、es to live in.When he wasnt hunting or fishing his mother taught him the good points of music. She was a skilled singer who once had wished a life on stage, but at last settled down with her husband and spent her time by giving voice and music lessons to local children, including her own. Hemingway
33、was never talented for music and suffered through singing practices and music lessons, however, the musical knowledge he got from his mother helped him share in his first wife Hadleys interest in the piano.66 Ernest Hemingway died in_.（A）1969（B） 1979（C） 1981（D）196167 Which of the following statement
34、s is NOT true according to the passage?（A）His father taught him to fish and hunt when he was a boy.（B） His family had a summer house in northern Michigan.（C） He taught himself music when he was a boy.（D）He also went squirrel hunting in the woods.68 After he became successful, Ernest Hemingway_.（A）pr
35、eferred to stay in big cities（B） chose to live in somewhat isolated places（C） moved his family to Paris（D）killed himself69 Being talented in music, Hemingways mother once wanted to_.（A）be a music teacher（B） help Hemingway learn music（C） perform on the stage as a singer（D）marry a rich husband70 The p
36、assage is most probably from_.（A）a literary biography（B） a science textbook（C） a term paper（D）a personal diary70 What will man be like in the futurein 5 , 000 or even 50, 000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For
37、man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Agai
38、n, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change toolthe head,
39、 in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less u
40、se of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not ser
41、ve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in commo
42、n with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.71 The passage tells us about_.（A）how mans life will be in the future（B） how future man will look like（C） the fact that mans organs will function differently in the future（D）the fact that man is growing uglier a
43、s time passes72 There is evidence that man is changing, _.（A）he has been growing taller over the past 500 years（B） he has got stronger eyes than he ever had（C） his hair is getting thinner and thinner（D）his limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them73 Mans forehead will grow l
44、arger because_.（A）he will make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity（B） the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time（C） he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago（D）he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on74 Future man will probably_.（A）have smaller eyes（B） h
45、ave larger eyes（C） see better（D）have to wear better glasses75 The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he_.（A）will grow stronger（B） never stops changing（C） hopes for a change（D）will live a different life75 Auctions (拍卖) are public sales of goods, made by an officially appro
46、ved auctioneer. He asked the crowd assembled in the auction room to make offers, or bids, for the various items on sale. He encouraged buyers to bid higher figures, and finally named the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down“ the goods, for the bidding ends when the
47、 auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands. This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “ increase“. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken
48、in war, these sales were called “ sub hash“ , meaning “ under the spear“ , a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth century, goods were often sold “by the candle“ ; a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.Practically all goods whose qualities varied are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, hides, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, spices, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and simi
