05 Paage1
When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York from London for a one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them.They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture.But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using.The renting of home furnishings(beds, tables, dishes, and so on)has become one of America's fastest growing businees.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Many kinds of people: international businemen, government officials, airline workers, young married couples--the people whose job or busine may force them to move frequently from one city(or country)to another.They are saved the trouble and cost of moving their furniture each time.They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new home.Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they will soon grow to dislike.They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like.Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things.But they don't like to tell people about it.The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.1.The paage is mainly about ____.[A] how some people buy their furniture [B] how some people buy their house [C] why some people move their furniture from place to place [D] why some people rent their furniture
2.What is the characteristic in common about those who rent home furnishings?____ [A] They are wealthy.[B] They are poor.[C] They have to move frequently.[D] They like to change their furniture frequently.3.It can be concluded from the paage that young people ____.[A] like good and expensive furniture [B] like to move about [C] like furnished apartments [D] like to buy used furniture 4.The family keeps renting the furniture because ____.[A] it is cheaper that way [B] they like the furniture very much [C] they cannot afford to buy better furniture [D] they will have to move soon
5.What people are not likely to rent furniture?____ [A] International businemen.[B] Government officials.[C] Young married couples.[D] Old couples.05 Paage2 Do you want to know something about the history of weather? Don't look at the sky.Don't look for old weather reports.Looking at tree rings is more important.Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of the weather even further back.It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall.It is also expected that little sunlight or rainfall would limit the growth of a tree.The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be determined by reading the pattern of rings in a tree trunk.To find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside.If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred.If the rings are close together, then the climate was bad for the tree.Studying tree rings is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man.In a region of New Mexico you can find only sand--no trees and no people.However, many centuries ago a large population lived there.They left suddenly.Why? A scientist studied patterns of dead tree rings which had grown there.He decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees.Trees were neceary to make fires and buildings.So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move.In this instance studying tree rings uncovered an exciting fact about the history of man.6.It is understood that in a favorable climate ____.[A] tree rings grow close together [B] tree rings grow far apart
[C] trees in New Mexico will grow big and tall [D] people can cut down most of the trees in New Mexico 7.Why did ancient people usually live where there were plenty of trees?____ [A] Trees provided them with shades.[B] Trees indicated plenty of sunlight and rainfall.[C] Trees were material for burning and building houses.[D] Trees provided them with fruit and food.8.The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell ____.[A] whether in that area the climate was favorable or not.[B] whether a particular tree was healthy or not.[C] whether people took good care of the trees or not.[D] how old the trees were 9.Studying dead tree rings shows ____.[A] where the people had to go [B] what the people had to eat [C] how the people left [D] why people had to leave
10.The people had to leave the region of New Mexico because ____.[A] they had cut down all the trees [B] there were many trees there [C] they had no water [D] bad weather stopped the growth of trees.05 Paage3 Why are flowers different colors, animals different colors, and people different colors? Colors come from pigment(色素).Different kinds of pigment make things different colors.The main kind of pigment in human eyes, hair, and skin is called melanin(黑色素).It makes the cells in living things brown or black.Most people, even those with light coloring, have some melanin pigment in their eyes, hair, and skin.But not everyone has the same amount of melanin.Some Negroes, for example, have a lot of melanin pigment.Their eyes, hair, and skin are black or dark brown.Some people, called albinos(白化病患者), have almost no melanin pigment.Their hair and skin are white, and their eyes are pink.Other people have different amounts of melanin pigment.Japanese and Chinese people don't have yellow skin.Their skin is really brown, because it has melanin pigment in it.The American Indian doesn't have red skin.He, too, has brown skin.And the “white” man isn't really white.His skin also contains melanin.When he stays out in the summer sun, his skin turns brown.That is because sunshine produces more melanin in the skin.Dark skin protects people from strong sunlight.This may be why most people in hot, sunny parts of world have dark skin.In northern countries, where there is le sun, most people have light skin.Light-skinned and dark-skinned people may move to different countries, but their skin color stays the same.And they usually pa on their skin color to their children.The color of your skin comes from your parents and from your ancestors who lived thousands of years ago.11.The best title for this selection is ____.[A] Eyes, Hair and Skin [B] Melanin in Flowers [C] How to make Melanin [D] What Makes People Dark or Light? 12.____have almost no melanin.[A] Albinos
[B] Some white people [C] People living in the North [D] Japanese and Chinese people 13.The color of the skin is determined by the amount of ____.[A] melanin [B] pigment [C] cells [D] albinos 14.Which of the following statements is NOT true?____ [A] Scientifically speaking, yellow people don't have yellow skin.[B] American Indian doesn't have red skin.He has yellow skin.[C] Dark-skinned people live more comfortably than light-skinned people in hot areas.[D] White-skinned people have le melanin than dark-skinned people.15.In this selection, “ancestors” probably means ____.[A] relatives who lived long ago [B] people from different countries [C] people who live in your country [D] people of the same color as you 05 Paage 4 Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble--and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP(超感官知觉).ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception.It may be called a sixth sense.It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.Here's an example: A woman was ironing clothes.Suddenly she screamed, “My father is dead!I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telegram came.The woman's father had died of a heart attack.He had died sitting in a chair.There are thousands of stories like this one on record.Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental meages.Here's another example--one of hundreds of dreams that have come true: A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by.The driver said, “There's room for one more”.The man felt the driver was Death, so he ran away.The next day, the man was getting on a crowded bus.The bus driver said, “There's room for one more”.Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream.He wouldn't get on the bus.As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames.Everyone was killed!Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidences.Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real.From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.16.The best title for this selection is ____.[A] The Human Mind [B] A horrible Dream [C] A Big Lie [D] A Sixth Sense 17.ESP lets people know ____.[A] about their dreams [B] about events after they happen [C] about events before they happen [D] about heart attacks 18.The studies of ESP could be an important way to ____.[A] understand the human mind [B] predict death [C] understand the five senses [D] avoid accidents 19.The example of the man shows an ability to ____.[A] avoid traffic accidents [B] judge the good and evil of a person [C] know about events that are happening some distance away [D] sense a danger that will actually happen later on
