He would open his shop at 8:00 a.m. after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m. he would go for lunch. In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his

17、shop to complete his daily routine. However, to get time for lunch was really difficult be-cause he didnt have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returne

18、d from lunch. One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch. One of the thieves went at 1:00 p.m. to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop. The thief, pretending to be a customer, went in at 1:00 p.m. and started buying several items. A

19、s planned, the shop-keeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch. Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pretend customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility f

20、or the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time. His friends did not agree. As the now honest man tried to stop them, they resisted (抵抗) and a fight started. And at the same time the shopkeeper returned and asked why there was a fighting. The now honest man explained the entir

21、e plan. The shopkeeper had been searching for an honest man who could take ownership of the shop and run it. The shop-keeper felt that he had found the right man.56.

It

25、 was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians. Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960s. All were Ameri

26、can. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles. Some people say the Beatles music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry. But th

27、e Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group be-fore them. The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

28、.” It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea.The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is

29、one of the few groups from the 1960s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction”. The musical instrument most linked to rock and roll is the guitar. Experts say Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitar players in r

30、ock and roll during the late 1960s. His “Purple Haze” was liked by many people. By the 1970s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. It expanded into many new forms. For example, there was country rock, hard rock, acid rock, and heavy metal rock. Punk rock, jazz rock, and glitter rock. In t

31、he middle 1970s, experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run”. Springsteens music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about so

32、cial issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam. 60. The main topic of this passage is _.A. the history of American music B. the development of rock and roll musicC. the famous rock and roll groups D. the new forms of rock and roll music61.

33、s is NOT true?A. the Beatles Chuck Berry B. the Rolling Stones SatisfactionC. Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze D. Bruce Springsteen Born to Run62.

34、 we can know that _.A. one of the Rolling Stones albums was called “concept” B. the Beatles and the Rolling Stones became popular at the same timeC. rock and roll music had many different forms at the beginningD. rock and roll music probably came from African American musicC For the most part, you a

35、re probably only exposed to the music that is played on your favorite radio stations and TV shows, music Web sites, or the music that your friends and family members enjoy. While you probably know a lot about your favorite type of music, it can be a rewarding experience to enlarge your horizons (眼界)

36、, discovering artists and types of music that youre not familiar with. Who knows, you might discover you like certain types of music you never even considered. Have you ever wondered about the history and influences of your favorite types of music? For example, did you know that rock n roll originat

37、ed (起源) from the blues, and that the blues began as a form of musical expression for African Americans during slavery(奴隸制度)? Did you know that most hip-hop is heavily influenced by early rhythm blues and jazz? There are many fun ways to learn about different musical styles and their historical roots

38、. For example, if you like hip-hop, listen to some of your favorite CDs and take note of the samples the performers used to create the songs. There is a possibility that the artist used parts of older songs to create the music. You can go to the library or online to learn more about the artists and

39、listen to more of their music by checking out CDs from the library or downloading songs online for a small fee. You can learn so much about culture and history just by paying attention to different types of music and what is being expressed in the songs. There are so many different styles of music t

40、o learn about, and you owe (欠) it to your-self to make an effort to listen to and learn about them.64.

C

43、ool looks. Unusual names. That is what a typical American looks for when buying a car. This is a wasteful method because the cars we buy dont fit our lifestyles of thriftiness (節(jié)儉). But we feel powerful when we drive huge cars, so thats why we buy them. More people should drive hybrids (混合動力汽車). You

44、 may complain, “Theyre not cool.” But what are you going to say when your planet gets so fouled (弄臟) up that you need a gas mask just to go outside? Well, thats whats going to happen if we dont act soon. Hybrids may cost more, but they will end up saving our life one day. Gasoline cars are inefficie

45、nt ones that chew up cash. The best ones get only around 40 miles per gallon. We need to change our habits or we are going to run out of fossil fuel, and then no cars will be traveling down the street. Gasoline cars also pollute the air and create breathing problems. Some problems we will have in th

46、e future if we continue using gasoline cars are global warming, high levels of air pollution and groundwater toxicity (毒性). We will also use up our supply of fossil fuels. A part of civilizations will disappear and many will die because of air pollution and the poisoning of groundwater sources. We m

47、ay also cause a large increase in the speed of global warming, which will result in a rise in temperature and in turn bake our planet and all its living things. Cars should be bought not based on looks, but because they work well and help save the environment. Hybrids fulfill this. If enough people

48、used them, we wouldnt be as worried about global warming. We are at a point where we can only do one thing: reduce the amount of fossil fuels we use. If we dont, we may spell our own doom and end up creating natural disasters that we cannot control. 68. According to the passage, hybrids can _.A. mak

49、e the air smell bad B. pollute the groundwaterC. increase the speed of global warmingD. cost buyers more money 69.

51、 gasD. remind people of some problems they will have in the futureE A huge market is preparing itself for a new technical revolution “e-paper”. What if, tomorrow, with text shown on plastic-coated paper, we would turn the pages nearly with a click, and words and pictures would come to life? OK tomor

52、row, it probably wont happen, but why not the day after tomorrow? For Bruno Rives, founder of Tebaldo, a company connected in new technological trends (趨勢) and usages, there is no doubt that “we are now in Year Zero of electronic paper.” The idea appeared several decades ago. But it has now reached

53、its “technological maturity (成熟)”, according to Jacques Angelé, director of technological programmes for Nemoptic, a French company which is in the lead of e-paper development. “This new paper weighs 150 to 200 grams, is 5mm thick, and 7 to 8 inches diagonal (對角線) . It must be simple to use and

54、 be always updated; after several unsuccessful attempts, the e-paper is now ready.” “Its a new opportunity for the press!” cheers Rives, who personally worked on this project. “Its a chance to at-tract readers who dont usually read the papers, and recon-quer those who have turned to the Internet. Th

55、e money we will spend is not so big if we consider whats involved (涉及)!” As for us, we will have to get used to a new object. Though a page in black and white doesnt shock us if we think of it like a pocket book, it may seem serious for other uses. Will it be long until it hits color or video, and w

56、ill it be long before we get a foldable (可折疊的) electronic page? Maybe the technological attraction will make us forget the grainy texture of paper between our fingers. In fact, and even Rives agrees, it is not an easy task. He reminds us, “Paper did not explode in 321 BC, we had to wait until the 1500s.” 72. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably m
