At one time or another we probably all have. Theres no 51 in getting depressed about it now its no 52 crying over spilt（溢出的）milk. However, there may be some gain in thinking about exactly what happened and why 53 we might be able to draw some conclusions for the future.One thing we all do now and again is to lose our 54 with a friend or close relative. The odd thing is that we more often display great 55 towards someone we are fond of than towards 56. The explanation may be that we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, an opportunity to 57 a bit of steam in a safe environment, while the consequences（结果）of 58 a stranger could be far more serious.Being honest is usually thought of as a virtue（美德）and undoubtedly this is the 59. On the other hand, we have all experienced occasions when we have spoken our minds to someone, telling them exactly what we feel, and then have found ourselves filled with feelings of 60. Perhaps we should have kept our mouths shut?51. A. reasonB. purposeC. pointD. result52. A. useB. helpC. valueD. benefit53. A. soB. becauseC. butD. though54. A. mindB. memoryC. mannerD. temper55.

A. issueB. caseC. eventD. factor60. A. excitementB. happinessC. prideD. guilt(B)Several factors make a good newspaper story. First obviously it must be new. But since TV can react to events so quickly, this is often a problem for 61. They usually respond to it in one of three ways.By providing 62 detail, ment or background information.By finding a new 63 on the days major stories.By printing pletely different stories which TV doesnt broadcast.What else? Well it also has to be 64 some kind of conflict or danger. This is one reason why so much news seems to be 66 news. “ Plane lands safely no-one hurt” doesnt sell newspapers. “Plane 67 200 feared dead!” does.Next, theres human interest. People are interested in other 68 particularly in the rich, famous and powerful. Stories about the private lives of pop singers, actors, models, politicians, 69, all appear regularly in certain newspapers.Finally, for many editors, 70 is an important factor, too. They prefer stories about people, places and events which their readers know. Thats why the stories in Tokyos newspapers are often very different from the stories printed in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires.61. A. newspapersB. publicationsC. reportersD. broadcasters62.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The wedding took place in a Birmingham hotel. The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sports car. Her father looked nervous and unfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographer and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time.Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio stations petition. The aim of the petition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine, 23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered for a peculiar “experiment” organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham, England. Greg and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on radio. They took a lie detector（测谎仪）test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The petition judges included an astrologer（占星家）who declared that they were suited.The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaines mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordells parents are reported to be less than delighted.Organizations, including the marriage guidance service Relate, have criticized the marriage. As one person put it, “We have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be about love.”The couple are now on a Caribbean honeymoon followed by journalists. Their other prizes include a years free use of a wonderful apartment in the centre of Birmingham, and a car. But will it last?71How did the couples react to the wedding?A.

Two Strangers and a WeddingB. A Wedding Based on LoveC. A Short-Lived MarriageD. A Well-Matched Couple(B)In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a et（彗星）. When the fragment（碎片）landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a et?The year is 2094. It has been announced that a et is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our plant, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic.On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earths atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north wont escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs（恐龙）were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldnt survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?75Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the authors description of the disaster in 2094?A. The whole world bees extremely cold.B. All the coastal cities in African are destroyed.C. The whole mankind bees extinct.D. The visit of the et results in wars.76Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?A. Because they could only live in the warm climate.B. Because they once dominated the Earth.C. Because their extinction indicates future disasters.D. Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age.77In writing the passage, the author intends to _.A. give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the futureB. prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyedC. tell the historical development of the EarthD. warn of a possible disaster in the future78It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n) _.A. horror storyB. news reportC. research paperD. article of popular science( C )Passport ControlIf you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring（转换）another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs（海关）immediately after leaving your plane.
