At the time，the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor a

29、reas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they

30、 could depend on to go to and from work, they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems, the idea of the London Underground, the first subway system, was born.The plans for building

31、 the Underground met with several problems and delays，but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30，000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable

32、 seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed), and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰)，as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels(隧道) later to keep the air clean

33、enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems，riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year.63.What led the British government to build the London Underground？ A. Traffic jams and pollution. B. Population and pollution. C.

35、” most probably means “_”. A. be troublesome B. become popular and fashionable C. keep up with D. seize66. Which of the following is TRUE？ A.

36、opened. C. The subway greatly eased the pressure of traffic.D.

We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different

37、from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will c

38、ontinue to grow taller. Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a ph

39、ysical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the othe

40、r hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modem life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course

41、of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man

42、 will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.67. The passage mainly tells us . A. mans life will be different in the future B. what man will look like in the future C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D. humans

43、organs functions will become weak68. The change in mans size of forehead will probably be larger because . A. he makes use only 20% of the brains capacity B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time D. he will use his brain more and more

44、as time goes on69. What will be true about a human being in the future? A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful. B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses. C. His fingers will grow weaker because he wont have to make use of them. D. He will think and feel in a differe

45、nt way.70. It is implied that . A. human beings will become less attractive in the future. B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degeneration（退化）.
