It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea.Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it， but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added.She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did， so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.At first， tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so， tea-time was born.56.Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?A. Tea reached Britain from Holland.B. The Britons got expensive tea from India.C.The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.D.It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.57.This passage mainly discusses_____________.A.the history of tea drinking in Britain B.how tea became a popular drink in BritainC.how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea D.how tea-time was born58.Tea became a popular drink in Britain.A.in eighteenth century B.in sixteenth centuryC.in the late seventeenth century D.in seventeenth century59.People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because.A.it tasted like milkB.it tasted more pleasantC.it became a popular drinkD.Madame de Sevinge was such a lady with great social influence that people triedto copy the way she drank tea60.We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostlydue to the influence of ________.A.a famous French lady B.the ancient ChineseC.the upper social class D.people in HollandBIt is natural that children are curious (好奇的) about the world around them. For example， they want to know how their hearts beat. They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty.As children grow up， they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies， they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. They become interested in the physical world around them: the plants， the animals， the sky. Later， they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels， bicycles， cars. And when they are adults， their curiosity continues. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career (生涯、职业) in science.Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world.Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth， the oceans， and the skies. Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. A third group of scientists study the physical sciences， e. g. physics， chemistry .These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world.For example， they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet， your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Your heart is a pump (泵) that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run， your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen， too . So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.Of course， scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask， “Why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold， it cracks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask ， “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world， but there are still many answers that we do not have， and we are curious.61.According to the passage， which of the following statements is true?A.People of different ages are interested in different thingsB.People in different countries are interested in different things.C.Men and women are curious about different things.D.People are curious in the same way.62.Scientists who work with the biological sciences study____.A.the earth ， the oceans and the sky B.plants and animalsC.man-made things D.ocean water63.When you run， your muscles need ____.A.more nutrition and oxygen B.more signals C.more salt D.water64.A rock cracks _____.A.in wet regions B.in dry regionsC.at very high or very low temperatures D.when salty water falls in65.People are always curious because ____.A.they cannot explain many things B.they know nothing about the worldC.they know little about the world D.they want to be scientistsCJeremy Wirick， 9， has been back in school for less than two months， but he has already had several asthma(哮喘)attacks. A recent attack happened on October 2， after he pushed himself too hard in gym class. Running， power walking， jogging and push-ups took their toll. When Jeremy got home an hour or two later， he was out of breath. He needed to use a nebulizer， a machine that helps send medicine quickly to the lungs， to get his breathing back to normal.Asthma attacks like Jeremy increase in September and October. More than six times as many asthma sufferers who are elementary-school age need hospital treatment in the fall as in the summer.Experts believe many factors can contribute to back-to-school asthma. Kids get together in close spaces， they start passing viruses around. A viral infection can cause an asthma attack. There are also certain fall allergies(过敏症)that can cause attacks. Exercise is another common cause of an attack. Besides， the stress of school can make asthma worse.Parents can play a big role in helping kids with asthma start the school year right. Dawne Gee’s10-year-old son， Alexander， has had asthma since he was a baby. Before the school year starts， she tells school workers in writing about her son’s asthma.The Gees live in Kentucky， which has passed laws allowing students to carry their asthma medication(药物治疗)with them at school. Alexander’s mom makes sure he has his inhaler(人工呼吸器)with him when he goes to school and that he keeps it on hand at all times. In Delaware， where Jeremy lives， kids are allowed to carry their inhalers at school.The American Lung Association says that about 6.2 million American children suffer from asthma. Asthma is the chronic (慢性) illness that causes students to miss the most days of school. There are many things that schools can do to help students control their asthma66. The passage mainly deals with _______.A. the causes of Asthma and its treatmentB. what Asthma is and its symptomsC. the side-effects Asthma has on kidsD. how to prevent and treat Asthma.67. By saying “Running， power walking， jogging and push-ups took their toll.”， the writer means that_____.A. physical exercise gave them a deep thoughtB. physical exercise affected their healthC. asthma attacks made them like physical exerciseD. asthma attacks could be cured through physical exercise68. Which of the following statements is NOT supported by the passage?A. Kids are likely to suffer asthma attacks in the fallB. Stress can add to the risk of asthma attacksC. Medical officials should be blamed for asthma attacksD. Asthma attacks will need necessary medical treatment69. The passage lists many factors that cause asthma attacks except_____.A.

The following paragraph is probably going to talk about______.A. further understanding of Asthma B. a survey on students with asthmaC. the effects asthma has on students D. tips on asthma for schoolsDAs computers become all the more popular in China， Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much， they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画)of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people， especially students， write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing， students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly， problems appear."When I'm writing with a pen， I find I often can't remember how to write a character， though I feel I’m familiar with it.""I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper."Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer， why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei ， the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting， people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them"To encourage students to handwrite more， many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities， some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.71.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.B. To Type or To Hand WriteC. Writing By Computer Will Replace Writing By HandD.

Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE of the advantages of handwriting?A. Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.B. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting，C. Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidenceD. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.74. The underlined expression “taking stock in”(Paragraph 4) probably means_____.A. getting bored with B. becoming crazy aboutC. getting dependent on D. getting curious about75.We can draw the conclusion from the passage that_______.A. more and more students will pay attention to handwritingB. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one dayC. more and more students will give up writing on a computerD. the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and quality
