Recently there has been something of a renaissance （复兴）in cycling, and in many areas it is a very useful way of getting around, especially where bike paths or bike routes have been built. You may well want to buy, hire or borrow a bike. There are two important consequences （后果）of this earlier drop in cycling in the USA. One is that many people do not know how to cycle. That is, cyclists often behave more like pedestrians （行人）than motorists :they ride on the sidewalk or on the wrong side of the road; they do not care for stop signs or traffic lights; they ride without lights at night; they give no hand signals. The other consequence is that cycling is regarded by many people not so much as a way of getting from one place to another but as a way of life, a form of exercise, etc. As a result, large number of young Americans have ten-speed racing bikes. These are very high and fast and great if you are cycling long distances, riding up mountains or racing. At first, though, you may find them awkward for cycling in town, sight-seeing or shoppingthey are expensive, uncomfortable and hard to control until you get used to them, and unsuitable for rough stony roads. There are also ordinary bikes around. If you get hold of one of these, you may find that the brakes work by pedaling（踩踏板）backwards. This is perhaps safer than ordinary brakes when it is wet, but it seems to be less effective. This arrangement also means you cant pedal backwards in order to get the pedals in the right place for getting on or moving off. 56. The passage gives us a brief introduction to . A. advantages of bikes B. cycling in America C. American transportation D. how to ride a bike57. Young Americans prefer racing bikes because they . A. can help keep fit B. are easy to learn C. are safer to ride D. are expensive and popular58. Which of the following does NOT result from the early drop in cycling in the USA? A. Cyclists do not care for traffic lights B. People ride on the wrong side of the roads C. Cycling is not considered a way of transportation D. People have to pedal backwards to stop the bike59. From the passage we can learn that in the middle of the 20 th century . A. many Americans enjoyed cycling B. cycling was popular in the world C. racing bikes were better than ordinary ones D. there were no special roads for bikes in AmericaB If Catlin was the painter of the American Indians and Bierstadt the portrayer （painter）of the Rocky Mountains, the artist of the Western cowboys and settlers was Remington. Born in New York, the son of a wealthy publisher, Remington was a boxer and a football player at Yale Universitythe last man would expect to become the artist of the Old West. But as a boy he loved horses and fed on the journals of some famous writers. At the age of nineteen, he left college to look for adventures. He traveled from Montana to Texas as a prospector （勘探者）. Remington had always been interested in journalism. Now he began to write about and to paint and draw what he saw. The subject of the “Winning of the West ”attracted the East. Magazines and newspapers were filled with account of prospectors adventures, and of battles with cattle thieves and other outlawsall the tales that were then news and have since become legends. There were also stories by many other writers. Often these were presented by drawings and paintings from Remingtons hand, but it was as a successful journalist that Remington was a great artist. 60. In his pictures, Remington often painted . A. the prospectors stories B. mountains and rivers C. horse races D. American Indians61. From the text, we can learn that Remington based his art on the . A. stories he had read in the newspaper B. things he had seen and experienced C. ideas he had learned at Yale University D. paintings he had copied from early settlers62. During his youth, Remington . A. showed his gift as an artist B. was influenced by his father C. enjoyed sports and reading D. learned journalism at Yale University63. The paragraphs before this passage most probably discussed . A. cowboys in American art history B. works of Catlin and Bierstadt C. the problem of “Winning the West” D. magazines about the westC A person, like a commodity（商品）, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the persons unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment （装饰）, so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely. A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony （和谐）with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elders company is like reading a thick book of deluxe (better quality) edition that attracts one so much as to be unwilling to part with . As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging. 64. It can concluded from the text that . A. people should be packed at all ages B. people should be packed in a special way C. elderly people also care about packing D. proper packing makes people attractive65. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should A. dye your hair B. make up at a young age C. follow the ageing process D. give up fame and wealth66. For the middle aged, attractiveness . A. hardly exists B. is the strongest C. comes from the inside D. comes from the appearance67. The underlined sentence means that elderly people A. are usually packed like a finely-made book B. experience a lot and have rich knowledge of life C. do a lot of traveling and can give you much information D. enjoy reading thick books of beautiful nature and fairylandsD With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone （克隆）the animal and save the endangered species （物种）. Thats a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark. ” Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos（胚胎）, semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & Ms College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future. It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years. This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal. The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete. “The nuclear transfer （核子移植）of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available （capable of being used ）panda eggs could be a major problem, ”Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy （having a baby）. It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort, ”adds Kraemer, who it one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog. “They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn form what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much needed. ”68. The aim of “Noahs Ark”project is to . A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas B. save endangered animals from dying out C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another69. According to Profess
