The only cleft (穿过) in Northern Californias 600-mile continental wall, for years this mile-wide strait was considered unbridgeable. As much an architectural as an engineering feat, the Golden Gate took only 52 months to design and build. Designed by Joseph Strauss, it was the first really massive(庞大的)suspension bridge, with a span of 4200ft, and until 1959 ranked as the worlds longest. It connects the city at its northwesterly point on the peninsula to Marin County and Northern California, and was designed to withstand(经受住)winds of up to a hundred miles an hour and to swing as much as 27ft. Handsome on a clear day, the bridge takes on an eerie（阴森森的） quality when the thick white fogs pour in and hide it almost completely. You can either drive or walk across. The drive is the more thrilling of the two options as you race under the bridges towers, but the half-hour walk across it really gives you time to take in its enormous size and absorb the views of the city behind you and the headlands of Northern California straight ahead. Pause at the midway point and consider the seven or so suicides(自杀) a month who choose this spot, 260ft up, as their jumping-off spot. Monitors of such events speculate that victims always face the city before they leap. In 1995, when the suicide toll from the bridge had reached almost 1000, police kept the figures quiet to avoid a rush of would-be suicides going for the dubious(令人怀疑的)distinction of being the thousandth person to leap.Perhaps the best loved symbol of San Francisco, in 1987 the Golden Gate proved an auspicious （幸运的）place for a sunrise party when crowds gathered to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. Some quarter of a million people turned up (a third of the citys entire population); the winds were strong and the huge numbers caused the bridge to buckle, but fortunately not to break.56.The underlined word “buckle” here means_.A.collapse B.crashC.bendD.shake57.The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in _.A.1922B.1995C.1937D.195958.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The Golden Gate is the longest bridge in the world.B.So far about 1000 people killed themselves from the Golden Gate.C.It took the workers 52 months to build the Golden Gate.D.San Francisco had a population of about 750,000 in 1987.59.If you want to enjoy the views of San Francisco from the bridge, youd better cross the bridge _.A.by trainB.on footC.by carD.by ship (B)One summer evening I was sitting by the open window, reading a good science storybook. (1) I was so interested in the story I was reading that I did not notice that it was getting dark. When I realized it was too dark for me to read easily, I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone crying, “Help! Help!” It seemed to come from the trees at the other end of the yard. (2) I looked out but it was now too dark to see anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again. It sounded like a child, but I could not imagine what anybody could be doing in our backyard, unless one of the neighborhood children had climbed a tree and had not been able to get down. I decided that I should to out and have a look in the yard, just in case someone was in trouble. I turned on the light and found for myself a flashlight and a stick in the room. I thought they might be useful. Armed with these, I went out into the yard. Once again I heard the cry and this time there was no doubt that it came from the trees at the far end of the yard. “Whos there?” I called out as I walked across the yard towards the trees. But there was no answer. With the help of my flashlight, I searched all over that end of the yard, including the branches of the tree. There was no sign of anybody or anything. I came to the conclusion that my imagination was playing tricks on me, probably because of the story I was reading about strange creatures on another planet. Feeling rather foolish about hunting around in my own backyard with a baseball bat, I went back into the house and put the bat and the flashlight away. I had just sat down to read my book again when I was frightened by the cry of “Help! Help!” from right behind me. I dropped my book and jumped up. There, sitting on the table was a large green and red bird. It was my neighbors parrot（鹦鹉）！ While I was out in the yard, the parrot must have seen the light in the living room and come in through the open window.60.One summer evening the author was reading by the open window because _. A.it was getting dark B.it was too dark for him to read easily outsideC.he didnt turn on the light D.none of the above61.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The author heard a cry for help as soon as he put the book down and got upB.Hardly had the author got up and turned on the light when he heard a cry for helpC.The author looked out because it was too dark to see anything insideD.A child, whose voice sounded like a parrot, was crying for help on the top of a tree 62.The book the author was reading was _ .A.an ordinary book about science B.a science book on soundC.a science story-book about strange creatures on a certain heavenly bodyD.a book on how to play tricks on others63.Finally the author found _ .A.that he was a very foolish person B.that he had got used to the cry for helpC.a large green and red bird flying into his living room from his neighbors house D.the secret (C)Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving. There are some aspects(方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sportsand it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at themthere are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation(放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activityphysical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the otherwhich were the natural way of life of our forefathers.64.Pollution, noise and stress are examples of _.A.causes of unfitness B.bad features of living in townsC.the things we can completely do away with D.unavoidable things in town65.We dont get much out of separate sports because we _.A.dont do them very often B.dont do them actively enoughC.find it hard to get out of our armchairsD.dont find them interesting66.To be healthy we must _.A.keep fit and active B.keep fit and learn to relaxC.be active and practise Yoga D.have a sound mind67.Our forefathers were healthy because_.A.their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxationB.they were careful to get plenty of fresh airC.they spent most of the time out of doorsD.their environment was not polluted (D)Lisa, a middle-aged woman, went to prepare lunch, leaving her 3-year-old son, Barney, playing by himself in the backyard.All of a sudden, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mothers ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyard and found a big snake entwining（纠缠） the little child with its body and trying to swallow the boy. Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snakes mouth.It was a fearless mothers love that made Lisa forget what she faced. She took up an old hatchet （斧头）from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.One.two. With the hatchet, Lisa hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she were striking a mass of solid rubber. The little boys voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisas heart was broken and she nearly went mad.Suddenly Lisa put aside the hatchet and threw herself on to the snake, opened her mouth and bit into its back, as if tearing a tough steak（牛排）. Lisa was really mad.A small piece of flesh was bitten off. Lisa picked up the hatchet again and hit at the wound in the snakes back madly and savagely.Stinking blood was spraying out of the snakes body. The snake was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest. It had never imagined that human beings had such terrible, sharp teeth. Halfway home, the snake died.68.What did Lisa find when she came into the backyard?A.A big snake was swallowing her son. B.Her son was playing with a poisonous snake.C.Her son was in danger of losing his life. D.Barney was fighting a big snake. 69.Why did Lisa fail in killing the snake at first?A.Because she was afraid that what she did would hurt her son.B.Because the hatchet was not sharp enough and the snakes skin was too hard.C.Because the snake was even stronger than Lisa.D.Because she was too astonished to do anything. 70. _, so she bit the snake.A.Lisa was really driven madB.Lisa thought her teeth were much sharper than the hatchetC.Lisa couldnt refuse the temptation of the snakes meatD.Lisa had not got any other way to deal with the snake 71.From the story, we learned that it was a mothers love that made_ .A.Barney brave B.the snake frightened C.Lisa mad and angry D.the woman fearless (E)As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, its not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail. The ant works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people dont care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票) with low risk. The cricket fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesnt think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have
