There are many problems connected with space travel. The first and greatest of them is gravity. If you let your pencil drop to the floor, you can see gravity in action. Everything is held down to the earth by magnetic(磁) force. The weight of something is another way of describing the amount of force taking place on it by gravity. A rocket must go at least 2,500 miles an hour to take anyone out of the gravity of the earth into space.
Once out of the earth’s gravity, an astronaut is affected by still another problem----weightlessness. Here, if a pencil drops, it does not fall. If a glass of water is turned upside down, the water will not fall out. All of us who are used to gravity expect things to have weightless conditions.
Recent long flights have shown that the body needs special exercise in a spaceship.
61. A ripe( 成熟)apple will fall to the earth by_______.
A. itself ’s force B. earth’s force C. magnetic force D. gravity
62. As a rocket leaves the ground, an astronaut feels a force called_______.
A. strain B. gravity C. weightlessness D. a push
63. If a rocket takes anyone out of the gravity of the earth into space, its speed must at least be _______.
A. 6.9 miles a second B. 2.5 miles a second
C. 50 miles a minute D.250 miles a minute
64. In space things do not fall because of ________.
A. the force of the push B. the force of the wind
C. the upward force of air D. weightlessness
C
Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious paper for those who want to know about important happening everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment (娱乐) to information.
The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has had a high reputation (名声) for believable news and serious opinion on the news since then. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.
Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.
65. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself _______.
A. a serious newspaper B. foreign newspaper
C. any independent paper D. a popular newspaper
66. The Times has been famous for ______ years.
A. 20 B. 85 C. 221 D. 231
67. The Times is an independent paper because ______.
A. it supports no political parties B. it is not controlled by the British Government
C. it gives special support to all the political parties
D. The editor’s opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper
68. The writer tells us _____ in this passage.

D
According to the American Automobile（car）Association, since 1964 all cars sold in the United States have been equipped with seat belts（带子）(They are also called safety belts) Many studies of car accidents have shown that safety belts can save lives. One study showed that forty percent of those killed in car accidents could have been saved if they have been wearing seat belts.
Unfortunately seat belts are worn only by a small number of drivers and passengers about fifteen percent in cities and only nine percent in small towns. And safety belt can not protect people who do not wear them.
In order to find out what kinds of people do wear seat belts, a study was made in several cities of the United States. The following facts were learned about those who use their safety belts.
1. They do not smoke while driving.
2. They had more education than less educated people
3. They know some one who was hurt(but not killed) in an accident
Advertisements based on these facts have been printed in newspapers and magazines in order to teach people the importance of using seat belt. But these advertisements have not helped much. Some people believe there should be a law ordering drivers and passengers to use safety belts. In Australia, where there is such a law, death in car accidents have reduced to twenty-four percent.
69. Seat belts
A. are safe clothes car drivers usually wear when they drive.
B. are belts that are used to tie drivers’ hands when they drive
C. have been worn by all drivers in the united States since 1964
D. are something that protect drivers from injury in car accidents.
70. “One study showed that…” Here “study” means
A. lesson B. exam C. research D. education
71. Which of the following sentences is NOT true？
A. More drivers in the country wear seat belts.
B. More educated people in the United States wear seat belts.
C. Much has been done to advise drivers to wear safety belts.
D. About three-twentieths of the drivers and passengers in cities wear seat belts.
72. Which of the following is true
A. Most people who do wear belts smoke while driving.
B. When it is hot, people don’t have to wear their seat belts.
C. A law was made in Australia that only those who don’t smoke can drive a car
D. Some people agree that those who do not wear seat belts while driving should pay money for it.

A letter to Edward, a columnist (报刊专栏作家)
Dear Mr. Expert:
I grew up in an unhappy home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at the age of 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.
Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine so much that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes — it makes the place feel comfortable and warm — but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)
Joan Edward’s reply to Joan
Dear Joan:
If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere, you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with— or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.”
Edward
73. We can learn from the first letter that Joan .
A. lives away from her parents B. takes pride in her friends
C. knows Mr. Expert quite well D. hates her parents very much
74.We can infer from the first letter that .
A. Joan considers her friends more important than her privacy
B. Joan’s friends visit her more often than she can accept
C. Joan doesn’t like the parties at all
D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over
75. According to Mr. Expert, why can’t Joan tell her friends her feelings
A. She likes her friends very much B. She does not understand true friendship.
C. Her family experience stops her from doing so. D. She does not put her needs first.

There are many problems connected with space travel. The first and greatest of them is gravity. If you let your pencil drop to the floor, you can see gravity in action. Everything is held down to the earth by magnetic(磁) force. The weight of something is another way of describing the amount of force taking place on it by gravity. A rocket must go at least 2,500 miles an hour to take anyone out of the gravity of the earth into space.
Once out of the earth’s gravity, an astronaut is affected by still another problem----weightlessness. Here, if a pencil drops, it does not fall. If a glass of water is turned upside down, the water will not fall out. All of us who are used to gravity expect things to have weightless conditions.
Recent long flights have shown that the body needs special exercise in a spaceship.
61. A ripe( 成熟)apple will fall to the earth by_______.
A. itself ’s force B. earth’s force C. magnetic force D. gravity

A. the force of the push B. the force of the wind
C. the upward force of air D. weightlessness

Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious paper for those who want to know about important happening everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment (娱乐) to information.
The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has had a high reputation (名声) for believable news and serious opinion on the news since then. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.
Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.

According to the American Automobile（car）Association, since 1964 all cars sold in the United States have been equipped with seat belts（带子）(They are also called safety belts) Many studies of car accidents have shown that safety belts can save lives. One study showed that forty percent of those killed in car accidents could have been saved if they have been wearing seat belts.
Unfortunately seat belts are worn only by a small number of drivers and passengers about fifteen percent in cities and only nine percent in small towns. And safety belt can not protect people who do not wear them.
In order to find out what kinds of people do wear seat belts, a study was made in several cities of the United States. The following facts were learned about those who use their safety belts.
1. They do not smoke while driving.
2. They had more education than less educated people
3. They know some one who was hurt(but not killed) in an accident
Advertisements based on these facts have been printed in newspapers and magazines in order to teach people the importance of using seat belt. But these advertisements have not helped much. Some people believe there should be a law ordering drivers and passengers to use safety belts. In Australia, where there is such a law, death in car accidents have reduced to twenty-four percent.

A. are safe clothes car drivers usually wear when they drive.
B. are belts that are used to tie drivers’ hands when they drive

C. A law was made in Australia that only those who don’t smoke can drive a car

A letter to Edward, a columnist (报刊专栏作家)
Dear Mr. Expert:
I grew up in an unhappy home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at the age of 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.
Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine so much that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes — it makes the place feel comfortable and warm — but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)
Joan Edward’s reply to Joan
Dear Joan:
If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere, you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with— or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love your company but I also need some privacy. So please call before you come over.”
Edward
