Glass has many extraordinary qualities and it is frequently being used in new ways. One of the most interesting new uses for glass is in telephone communication. Scientists have developed glass fibres (纤维) as thin as human hair which are designed to carry light signals. When the light reaches the other end, it is first changed into electrical signals, which are in turn converted (转变) into sound messages. Called light-wave communication, the new system was used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1977. During the experiment two glass fibres were able to carry 672 conversations at the same time. The light-wave cable, containing 144 glass fibres, has the capacity (容量) to carry 50,000 conversations at the same time. The lightwave communication system has two important advantages. First the glass fibre cables are smaller and weigh less than copper (铜) cables; second, they cost less.56. One of the extraordinary qualities of glass is that it can carry_.A. any signal B. light signalsC. sound signals D. electrical signals57. Before you can hear a message on the telephone using the new system, _.A. the light signals have to be changed into electrical soundB. neither the light nor the electrical signals have to be changed in any wayC .light must first be changed into electrical signals and then into soundD. electrical signals must first be changed into light signals and then into sounds58. According to the passage the new telephone communication system _.A. was put on experiment in 1977B. had been put into actual use by 1977C. had been repeatedly experimented before 1977D. was first put into actual use in 197759. From the passage, you can tell that people prefer glass fibre cables to copper cables because _.A. glass fibre is easier to makeB. glass fibre is less expensiveC. glass fibre is more up to date D. glass fibre delivers messages directly60. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. Light signals have changed the use of glass in industry.B. Glass fibres have reduced the cost of telephone communication.C. Glass is very useful because it has many unusual qualities.D. The use of glass fibres to carry telephone messages is an interesting new development. BDenny Parker lived in a bad place. Because of a youth gang（帮派）, he wanted to leave the area. The gang often caused trouble in the high school. As he was walking out of history class one day, Denny bumped into (ran into) another student. “Sorry,” he said, and kept walking. But he was stopped. Turning around, he found himself facing a very large, angry boy. It was Bill Douglas, a member of the gang！“Hey, you pushed me!” Bill cried. “Come on, Bill,” answered Denny. “I said I was sorry.”“Youre going to be sorry,” Bill said. “I will give you a lesson after school.”“Oh, no,” thought Denny, hurrying to his next class. “Im in trouble now.” The more he thoughtabout it, the more fearful he became. Then a word came to Dennys mindcourage (勇气). He decided to face it with courage. He had nothing to loseexcept a few teeth. After school, many students waited on the corner. News had spread that there would be a fight. Bill Douglas and his gang were waiting, too. “Hey, Parker,” Bill laughed as Denny walked near. “Let me teach you a lesson.” Denny answered loudly, “Well, come on. Im not afraid. ”There was silence.

The first great invention was one that is still very important todaythe wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distance. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect（影响）as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didnt have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Sound movies in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world is known to man but stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.64. In the early 1800s, people began to work in order to make _.A. a trip into spaceB. explorationsC. life betterD. discoveries65. Nylon came out nearly at the same time as _.A. jet planesB. the radioC. the cameraD. the movies66. Man didnt have a desire to explore a lot _.A. until the 20th centuryB. in the 1960sC. in the last two centuriesD. at the beginning of the 1800s67. This passage talks mainly about _.A. why cars were very importantB. which country made the first step into spaceC. how inventions affectpeoples lives D. when the electric light was inventedDHaving returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me 12,” she said to Hart Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me 12.” Harry was worried; he remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely.“Ill just check the Jersey time table for May 22nd.”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harrison discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldnt have sold her a ticket that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburst,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”“Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”“Thats fine,” said Harry. “My little girl cant swim a bit yet. Of course, shes only three.”“Im four,” the child said proudly “Ill be four and a half.”Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didnt get one for your daughter, did you?” “Err, well,” the woman looked at the child. “I mean, she hasnt started school yet. Shes only four.” “A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A childs return ticket to Jersey costs., let me see. 13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe 1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine.” The woman stood up, took the childs hand and left the office.68. Thewoman was angry because_.A. she couldnt use the ticket for her round trip B. she had to return home a day earlier than she had planned C. she spent more money than she had expected D. Harry had sold her a ticket to Jersey where there was no sailing69. Harry was worried _. A. the woman was angry with himB. he had not done his work properly C. the Jersey timetable was wrongD. the little girl didnt have a return ticket70. Harry started talking to the little girl _.A. because he was in difficulty and did not know what to do B. because he had a little girl about the same age as this girl C. because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so nice D. when he suddenly realized that the little girl could tell him a way out 71. When Harry said, “The law is the law, but since the fault was mine.” he meant that_. A. they must follow it without other choice, even though the fault was his B. he had to be strict with the woman because of the law, although he didnt want to C. the woman had to pay him 1.50 and the railway would pay her for the hotel D. she should pay 1.50, but he had made a mistake, she could go without paying72.The woman left the office without saying anything because _. A. she wanted to go home and get money for the childs ticket B. she was so angry that she didnt want to have anything more to do with the young man C. she was moved by Harrys kindness D. she knew she would have to pay the railway if she insisted EThis is the age of technological change, the disappearance of class difference and equal educational opportunities for everyone. Many old-fashioned ideas about what our children ought to do in life are no longer preferable. Apart from the traditional academic careers (生涯、职业) in science, medicine, law, and the arts, we also need skilled technicians, technologists and businessmen. We need to modernize our industries and give an encouragement to trade. Young people should be encouraged to see the value of all trades, crafts, and professions and to look upon the career they have chosen with interest and pride.In the old days so
