Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.37 Everybody may have seen the film “Death on the Nile (尼罗河) ,“ but nobody can imagine that
16、the writer of the story, Agatha Christie, saved a baby in a most unusual way.In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Deleville. Doctors there were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was sent to a famous hospital in London, where there were many excellent doctors. The baby
17、was so seriously iii that a team of doctors hurried to examine her without any delay. The doctors, too, were puzzled by the babys illness, and they also became discouraged. Just then a nurse asked to speak to them.“I think the baby is suffering from thallium (铊) poisoning,“ said the nurse“A few days
18、 ago, I read a story A Pale Horse written by Agatha Christie. Someone uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms (症状) are written in the book. They are exactly the same as the babys.“Youre very good at observing things, “said a doctor, “and you may be right. Well carry out some tests and find out wh
19、ether the cause is thallium poisoning or not.“The tests proved that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew that cause, the doctors were able to give her correct treatment. The baby soon got well and was sent back to Deleville. A week later it was reported that the poison might
20、 have come from an insecticide (杀虫剂) used in Deleville.37 The baby was sent to a hospital in London because _.（A）her parents were living in London then（B） the hospitals in Deleville were full at that time（C） she was the daughter of a famous doctor in London（D）doctors in Deleville were not sure about
21、 the cause of her illness38 When the baby was first sent to the hospital in London, her illness was considered to be _.（A）quite easy to treat（B） the result of thallium poisoning（C） a common one（D）extraordinarily serious39 The one who first suggested the correct cause of the babys illness was _.（A）a
22、doctor in Deleville（B） a famous doctor（C） Agatha Christie（D）an ordinary nurse40 From this passage it seems that the babys illness had something to do with _.（A）a dead writer（B） the water in Deleville（C） a dangerous murderer（D）a harmful substance (物质) used to kill pests41 As far as we can tell from t
23、he story, Agatha Christie _.（A）had never met this baby（B） had spent a long time studying the baby s illness（C） visited the baby both in Deleville and London（D）gave the nurse some advice on, the telephone42 Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observatio
24、ns of comets (彗星) ,which other scientists had made. The orbit (轨道) of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician.
25、Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse (椭圆形) .Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. H
26、e made a surprising discovery. The comets that appeared in the years 1531,1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thoug
27、ht that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He de
28、cided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halleys prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halleys comet, in his honour.42 Edmund
29、Halley figured out the orbit of _.（A）some different comets appearing several times（B） the same comet appearing at different time（C） three different comets appearing three times（D）several comets appearing at the same time43 Halley made his discovery _.（A）by doing experiments（B） by means of his own ca
30、reful observation（C） by using the work of other scientists（D）by chance44 Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year _.（A）1704（B） 1705（C） 1706（D）170745 This passage in general is about _.（A）Halley and other scientists（B） the orbit of a comet（C） Newton and Halley（D）Halley and his dis
31、covery46 According to the passage, which one is NOT true?（A）Newton figured out the orbit of the comet.（B） Halley figured out the orbit of the comet first.（C） Newton gave Halley some help.（D）Halley died before 1758.47 It was Monday, Mrs. Smiths dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
32、Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it, “Give my dog half a pound of meat.“ Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, “Take this to the butcher (卖肉者) , and hes going to give you your lunch today.“Holding the piece of
33、paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butchers shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the ladys handwriting and presently did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.At midday (正午), the dog came to the
34、 shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual it brought a piece of paper in. the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog i
35、ts meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers.But, the dog came again at four oclock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butchers more surprise, it came for the third time at six oclock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to
36、 himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?“Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!47 Mrs. Smith treated her little dog quite _.（A）cruelly（B） kindly（C） badly（D）unfairly48 It seemed that the dog knew well that the paper i
37、ts master gave it _.（A）might do it much harm（B） could do it much good（C） would give the butcher some meat（D）was worth many pounds49 The butcher did not give any meat to the dog _.（A）when he found the words on the paper were not very clear（B） because he happened to have sold out all the meat in his s

39、f paper could bring it half a pound of meat（D）Mrs. Smith would pay for the meat it got from the butcher51 At the end of the story, youll find that _.（A）the butcher found himself cheated by the smart animal（B） the dog was clever enough to write on the paper（C） the dog dared not go to tile butchers an
40、y more（D）the butcher was told not to give any meat to the dog52 Which of your two hands do you use more? Very few of us can use both hands equally well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their
41、hands, but. in about two years they usually use their right hands. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as there are left-handed ones. Next time when you visit a zoo, youll see that so
42、me of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people. We live in a right-handed world.52 Most people _.（A）are left-handed（B） are right-handed（C） can use both hands eq
43、ually well（D）never use left hands53 Most of us are right-handed and _.（A）so are monkeys（B） no one is left-handed（C） scientists dont know why（D）we never use left hands54 New-born babies _.（A）can only use their right bands（B） can only use their left hands（C） cant use their hands at all（D）can use eithe
