Many of them have even gone through whats called a “dinosaur phase”- a period of time 37 they cant stop talking about dinosaurs, cant 38 without hearing a dinosaur bedtime story, and use a backpack with a dinosaur pattern on it. Adults may have long 39 out of their dinosaur phase, but somehow the appeal is still there. The 40 consists in the success of Steven Spielbergs 1993 film Jurassic Park, and every following installment of the series. And in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which was 41 in Chinese mainland cinemas on June 15, these ancient beasts are taking over the 42 world once again. National Geographic has an explanation behind the animals 43 : Dinosaurs are “ 44 science and imagination meet”, which is probably what makes them so appealing, to kids and adults alike. Dinosaurs are often pared to dragons, but are seen as cooler because theyre 45 . The huge skeletons in museums prove their existence millions of years ago on the same Earth that we now live on. 46 , new discoveries have been made in different parts of the world that open up a bigger 47 of these ancient species. And how they went extinct is also a popular subject of 48 studies.However, we still seem to know so little about dinosaurs, and have to rely on our 49 when it 50 to questions like “How did they live?”, “What did they sound like?” and “How fast could they run?”. Its this sense of mystery that 51 dinosaurs attraction pared to other fierce animals like lions and tigers - animals that can easily be seen in todays zoos.But theres more to this dinosaur appeal.According to Guardian reporter Brian Switek, humans are fascinated by dinosaurs not just because were interested in their history, but also because were trying to have a better understanding of human history.“Dinosaurs 52 be Hollywood monsters, objects of scientific fascination and everything 53 , but at the root of it, our fascination with them 54 from wanting to know more about the prehistory we 55 ,” he wrote. “The dinosaur story is part of our own.”36.

EXECUTIVEYoure in business and need to be able to call your office and your clients whenever the need arises. You value the convenience of a mobile phone but need to keep a close eye on costs.For frequent users: the monthly access fee is slightly higher, but you enjoy the savings of a discounted call rate.

As a high-volume user you pay an access fee of just $60 a month but even lower call rates. Peak time: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-SaturdayOff peak: all other times, including all day Sunday. Billing increments (计费增量) are in 30-second units. Call charges are rounded up to (算到) the nearest cents. Once-only Connection Fee: $30 plus additional $35 for your Smart Card.56.

A. 30.2 cents B. 15.2 cents C. 15 cents D. 30 centsB At the age of twelve years, the human body is at its most vigorous. It has yet to reach its full size and strength, and its owner his or her full intelligence; but at this age the likelihood of death is least. Earlier, we were infants and young children, and consequently more vulnerable; later, we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor and resistance which, though imperceptible at first, will finally bee so steep that we can live no longer, however well we look after ourselves, and however well society, and our doctors, look after us.This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing. It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way, that if we escape wars, accidents and disease we shall eventually die of old age, and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person, so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and eighty. Some of us will die sooner, a few will live longeron into a ninth or tenth decade. But the chances are against it, and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive, however lucky and robust we are.Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it. We are so familiar with the fact that man ages, that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigor with time, of being more likely to die the older we get, was something self-evident, like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes. They have also assumed that all animals, and probably other organisms such as trees, or even the universe itself, must in the nature of things wear out.Most animals we monly observe do in fact age as we do, if given the chance to live long enough; and mechanical systems like a wound watch, or the sun, do in fact an out of energy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics (热力学) (whether the whole universe does so is a moot point at present). But these are not analogous to what happens when man ages. A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound. An old watch, by contrast, bees so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending. But a watch could never repair itselfit does not consist of living parts, only of metal, which wears away by friction. We could,at one time, repair ourselveswell enough, at least, to overe all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents. Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power; an illness which at twelve would knock us over, at eighty can knock us out, and into our grave. If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve, it would take about 700 years for half of us to die, and another 700 for the survivors to be reduced by half again.59. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Our first twelve years represent the peak of human development.B. People usually are unhappy when reminded of ageing.C. Normally only a few of us can live to the eighties and nineties.D. People are usually less likely to die at twelve years old.60. The word it in the last sentence of Paragraph Two refers toA. remaining alive until 65.B. remaining alive after 80.C. dying before 65 or after 80.D. dying between 65 and 80.61. What do the examples of watch show?A. Normally people are quite familiar with the ageing process.B. All animals and other organisms undergo the ageing process.C. The law of thermodynamics functions in the ageing process.D. Humans ageing process is different from that of mechanisms.C Racket, din clamor, noise, whatever you want to call it, unwanted sound is Americas most widespread nuisance. But noise is more than just a nuisance. It constitutes a real and present danger to peoples health. Day and night, at home, at work, and at play, noise can produce serious physical and psychological stress. No one is immune to this stress. Though we seem to adjust to noise by ignoring it, the ear, in fact, never closes and the body still respondssometimes with extreme tension, as to a strange sound in the night. The annoyance we feel when faced with noise is the most mon outward symptom of the stress building up inside us. Indeed, because irritability is so apparent, legislators have made public annoyance the basis of many noise abatement programs. The more subtle and more serious health hazards associated with stress caused by noise traditionally have been given much less attention. Nevertheless, when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise, we should consider these symptoms fair warning that other thing may be happening to us, some of which may be damaging to our health. Of many health hazards to noise, hearing loss is the most clearly observable and measurable by health professionals. The other hazards are harder to pin down. For many of us, there may be a risk that exposure to the stress of noise increases probability of disease and infection. The people more likely to be affected may experience noise as a plicating factor in heart problems and other diseases. Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in health persons may have serious consequences for these already ill in mind or body. Noise affects us throughout our lives. For example, there are indications of effects on the unborn child when mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise. During infancy and childhood, youngsters exposed to high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and obtaining necessary amounts of rest. Why, then, is there not greater alarm about these dangers? Perhaps it is because the link between noise and many disabilities or diseases has not yet been conclusively demonstrated. Perhaps it is because we tend to dismiss annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modern world. It may also be because we still think of hearing loss as only an occupational hazard.62.The authors attitude toward noise would best be described as _.A. unrealisticB. traditionalC. concernedD. hysterical63.Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A. Noise is a major problem and most people recognize its importance.B. Although noise can be annoying, it is not a major problem.C. Noise is a major problem and has not yet been recognized as such.D. Noise is a major problem about which nothing can be done.64. The author condemns noise essentially because it _.A. is against the lawB. can make some people irritableC. is a nuisanceD. does harm to peoples health65.The author would probably consider research about the effects noise has on people to be _.A. unimportantB. impossible.C. a waste of moneyD. essentialD An old man in a faded yellow shirt sat in a windowless room on a raised concrete form. The only source of heat came from somewhere beneath the plastic mattress and the rough blanket the blank-faced police woman had handed him after taking his thumb prints. He heard voices and metallic clang as the cell door swung open. At the front desk a tired looking policeman handed the old man back his belongings, his worn-out cap and the Seiko watch that had stopped working the day his beloved Evelyn left. The policeman dramatically held the blue plastic bag at an arms length to the old man who took it and made sure its contents were undamaged: the goat meat, palm oil, leaves and spices. He ignored the confused expression on the officers face and signed the document declaring he had been returned the possessions they had taken off him the night before. No one spoke to him as he walked slowly towards the exit. “Mr. Easy-nwa?” He stopped and prayed to the God who now took care of Evelyn to please take him far away from this unhappy place of expressionless faces, clipped accents and people who did not even attempt to pronounce his name right. “Ezenwa,” He said and looked at a woman with tangerine lips, her name tag said Jessica Harlow, Social Services. “A bit far from home，she said as she drove fast and with confidence the way Evelyn used to. He wondered if she meant the 50 miles from Liverpool or the 50,000 miles from Enugu，a city in Nigeria. He did not bother replying as this woman had plenty to say about the weather, bad drivers, her daughters school play. At last she drew up outside the block of flats where he lived. “Got here in the end”，said she seriously, “Really Mr. Easy-nwa, if you keep getting lost, we will have to consider moving you into a home”. “No need, I was not lost，he answered. He carefully rolled up the sleeves of the oversize bomber jacket he wore and turned on the tap to wash his hands, relieved the pipes were not frozen. In a clean pan he placed the chopped pieces of goat meat. The herbs and spices that had taken him three months to track down, the uziza seeds had taken him into the heart of Granby Market in Liverpool, his
