Good news for game lovers― a tank game has come out recently. In this game you are in a tank and the screen shows your view of the landscape outside. You gain points by shooting enemy tanks, supertanks, missiles (导弹) and flying saucers(飞碟).
Expert players can gain scores of around 150,000 points at this game. To get a high score you have to destroy twenty tanks as quickly as possible. After this, the supertanks, missiles and flying saucers appear. These are worth far more points than the ordinary tanks. However, the number of tanks you have to destroy before the supertanks appear varies on different machines.
Try to get close to an enemy tank from the side or the back, so it cannot shoot at you. Then, when you get close, turn to face it, line it up in your sights and fire before it turns to shoot at you. If you miss or are too slow, quickly escape by moving out of the enemy"s line of fire. You can then move around the enemy and come in from another side.
When a supertank appears, try to destroy it as quickly as possible. Then wait safely behind an obstacle(障碍物)for a missile or flying saucer. The cubes are useful objects to hide behind as you can fire over them without exposing yourself to danger. The missiles will fly straight at you, but they are difficult to hit, so do not shoot at them until they are quite close. The saucers are much easier to hit, but do not follow them as you will be open to attack from enemy tanks. 
60. This passage is an / a ______ about a game.
A. instruction    B. liberation        C. tradition     D. construction
61. If you hide behind the cubes during an attack, which of the following may not happen?
A. Avoiding being exposed to danger     B. Destroying a missile
C. Firing over missiles or flying saucers   D. Being hit by a missile
62. If you can destroy a supertank, missile or flying saucer, you will get_____.
A. many more points        B. a machine to play with
C. an ordinary tank         D. nothing
63. From the last sentence we can see that you are likely to be attacked by tanks if you_____.
A. hit a flying saucer            B. run after a flying saucer
C. fire straight at a missile        D. shoot at enemy tanks

Lateral thinking(迂回思维),first described by Edward de Bono in 1967,is just a few years older than Edward’s son.You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker,but the de Bono was so famous,Casspar’s parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school,his teachers might ask,“Where do you get that idea from?”
“We had to be careful and not overdo it.”Edward admits.Now Caspar is at Oxford-which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic(诵读困难).In fact,when he was applying to Oxford,none of his school teachers thought he had a chance.“So then we did several thinking sessions,”his father says,“using my techniques and,when he went up for the exam,he did extremely well.”Soon after,Edward de Bone decided to write his latest book,“Teach Your Child How to Think”,in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brain-storming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share.
Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence,and everybody knows that children aren’t very logical.So isn’t it an uphill battle,trying to teach them to think?“You know,”Edward de Bono says,“if you examine people’s thinking,it is quite unusual to find faults of logic.But the faults of perception are huge!Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view.”
“Teach Your Child How to Think”offers lessons in perception improvement,of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and of exploring the alternatives.
60.What is TRUE about Caspar?
A.He is Edward’s son.   B.He is an adventurous thinker.
C.He first described lateral thinking.      D.He is often scolded by his teacher.
61.It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that Edward        .
A.was likely to improve children’s logic with his book
B.gave a description of lateral thinking several years after his son was born
C.was prompted to study lateral thinking because his son was slightly dyslexic
D.once taught businessmen how to think before he wrote for parents and chikdren
62.According to Paragraph 3,which of the following statements expresses Edward de Bone’s view?
A.Everybody knows that children aren’t very logical.
B.It is an uphill battle trying to teach children to think.
C.We often think ineffectively because we take too limited a view.
D.Thinking is traditionally regarded as something executed in a logical sequence.
63.Lateral thinking refers to the following EXCEPT        .
A.improving one’s logic in thinking
B.improving one’s perception in thinking
C.seeing the implications of what you are saying
D.exploring the alternatives for what you are saying

The ocean bottom, a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth, is even today largely unexplored.Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible and hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep.Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a strangeenvironment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the outer space.
Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks for over a century, the first detailed global study of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1969, with the beginning of the National Science Foundation’s Deep Sea Drilling Project(DSDP).Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP’ s drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean’s surface and drill in very deep waters, taking samples of  rock from the ocean floor.
The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983.During this time, it sailed 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 samples of rocks aroun d the world.Those samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to make out what it will probably look like millions of years in the fu ture, Today, largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger’ s voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics (构造学)and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes.
The samples of rocks drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also provided a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years.The information of past climatic change can be used to predict future climates.
68.What does the underlined word “inaccessible” in line 3 means?
A.unrecognizable     B.unreachable       C.unusable        D.unreasonable
69.Why does the author mention “outer space” in the first paragraph?
A.The Earth’s climate millions of years ago was similar to that in outer space.
B.It is similar to the ocean floor in being strange to the humans.
C.Rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor
D.Techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration
70.Which of the following is true of the Glomar Challenger?
A.It is a type of submarine.               B.It is an ongoing project.
C.It has gone on over 100 voyages.        D.It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968.
71.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as being a result of the Deep sea Drilling Project?
A.Geologists were able to determine the Earth’s appearance millions of years ago.
B.Two geological theories became more widely accepted by scientists.
C.Geologists observed forms of life never before seen
D.Information was revealed about the Earth’s past climatic changes.

An annularity(日环食) is expected to cross China Friday afternoon, a researcher with the Purple Mountain Observatory under the Chinese Academy of Sciences said Wednesday.
The phenomenon, predicted to be the longest annularity of the next 1,000 years, can be seen in some areas of Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Hunan,  Hubei,  Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shandong provinces as well as Chongqing.
A partial eclipse(日偏食) would be seen in most of the rest of China, except for the northeast tip of Heilongjiang Province, said Cheng.
According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States, the annularity will begin in Africa and pass through the Indian Ocean, where the maximum duration(持续的时间) of annularity will reach 11 minutes and 8 seconds.
It will continue into Asia through Bangladesh, India, Myanmar and China. Cheng said the annularity will end at Jiaodong peninsula in Shandong Province, China.
The longest duration of the annularity on China’s territory would be 8 minutes and 17 seconds in Ruili, Yunan Province. A sunset with the annularity would be seen in some areas of Shandong, Guangdong and Taiwan, said Cheng.
An annularity occurs when the moon does not cover the entire disc of the sun so that a ring of light encircles the shadow of the moon.
Another expert said that though an annularity was not considered as wonderful as a total solar eclipse and was of little value in scientific research. It was interesting for the general public to watch the phenomenon, though.
60.The annularity mentioned in the passage is unusual because        .
A. it is expected to cross all over China
B. it begins in Africa and passes through Asia
C. it is of great importance in scientific research
D. it lasts the longest in the next one thousand years
61.From the passage we may conclude that people in Fujian can only enjoy the scene of      .
A. an annularity            B. a partial solar eclipse
C. a total solar eclipse           D. a sunset with the annularity
62.People       can enjoy the longest duration of the annularity on Friday.
A. in Africa    B. in India      C. in China     D. on the Indian Ocean
63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. The annularity will end in Shandong Province.
B. The annularity can be seen by people all over China.
C. The phenomenon is an exciting one to the astronomers only.
D. A partial eclipse occurs when a ring of light encircles the shadow of the moon.

In a surprising discovery about where higher life can survive, scientists have found a shrimp —— like creature and a jellyfish swimming beneath an Antarctic ice sheet.
About 180 meters below the ice where no light can get through, scientists had thought nothing much more than a few microbes (微生物) could exist.
That’s why a NASA team was surprised when they lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly of an ice sheet in Antarctica. A curious shrimp – like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the camera’s cable. Scientists also pulled up a tentacle (触须) they believe came from a jellyfish.
“We were operating on the presumption that nothing’s there.” Said NASA ice scientist Robert Bindschadler. “It was a shrimp you’d enjoy having on your plate.”
“We were just gaga (狂热的) over it,” he said of the 7.5cm long, orange creature starring in their two – minute video. Technically, it’s not a shrimp. It’s a Lyssianasid amphipod, which is distantly related to the shrimp.
The video is likely to inspire experts to rethink what they know about life in harsh environments. And it has scientists thinking that if shrimp – like creatures can live below 180 meters of Antarctic ice in freezing dark water, what about other cold places? What about Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter?
Cynan Ellis – Evans, a scientist of the British Antarctic Survey called the finding fascinating. He said it was possible the creatures swam in from far away and don’t live there permanently.
But Kim, who is a co-author of the study, doubts it. “The site in West Antarctica is at least 19 km from open seas. Bindschadler drilled a 20 cm – wide hole and was looking at a tiny amount of water. That means it’s unlikely that two creatures swam from great distances and were captured randomly in that small of an area,” she said.
Yet scientist were puzzled at what the food source would be for these creatures. While some microbes can make their own food out of chemicals in the ocean, complex life like the shrimp can’t, Kim said.
“So how do they survive? That’s the key question.” Kim Sai.
“It’s pretty amazing when you find a huge puzzle like that on a planet where we thought we know everything.” Kim said.
小题1: What does the underlined word “harsh” probably mean?
A.coldB.loudC.cruelD.ugly
小题2:According to Kim, the shrimp – like creature        .
A.swam great distances to AntarcticB.has always lived in the region
C.gradually evolved from shrimpsD.has nothing in common with shrimps
小题3:The finding is significant in that           .
A.it marks NASA’S first Antarctic biological study
B.it proves there is marine life in the Antarctic
C.it could inspire further study of life in harsh environments
D.it shows that Lyssianasid amphipod is closely related to shrimps
小题4:Which of the following statements about the discovery is FALSE?
A.Complex life usually lives on other forms of life.
B.Scientists saw two creatures in the two – minute video.
C.It is possible for creatures to live 180 meters below the ice though there is no light.
D.Scientists captured the shrimp – like creature in a camera by drilling a hole through the ice.

Humans have observed and explored the oceans since ancient times.But it wasn’t until the 19th century that the scientific study of oceans began.The first major scientific expedition,and the one that firmly established the field of oceanography,was the around-the-world voyage of H.M.S.  Challenger.Setting out from England in 1872,the Challenger spent almost three and a half years gathering a wealth of information about seawater,sea life,and the ocean floor.Major oceanographic expeditions since then have included the South Atlantic voyage of the German ship Meteor in 1926 and the Deep-Sea Drilling Project from 1968 to 1983.Many individuals also have played important roles in advancing our understanding of oceans,beginning with Matthew Fontaine Maury in the mid-1800s;his work on oceanography and navigation led to a uniform system of weather reporting at sea.Since Maury’s time,oceanography has progressed rapidly.Early oceanographers had to contend themselves with tossing buckets overboard to see what they might haul in.Today’s oceanographers are equipped with space images,supercomputer models,and deep-sea robots that can crawl along the seafloor.As they set goals for the future,some oceanographers even dream of doing research in permanently manned stations on the bottom of the oceans.
小题1:Which of the following statements is true?
A.Humans didn’t explore the oceans until the 19th century.
B.Maury first established the field of oceanography.
C.Maury spent a lot of time in studying seawater,sea life,and the bottom of the ocean.
D.Many individuals also plays a very important part in advancing our understanding of oceans,such as Maury.
小题2:How many expeditions are mentioned in this passage?
A.Four.B.Three.C.Five.D.Two.
小题3:What can we infer from the passage?
A.The process of the oceanography has stopped at one time.
B.Maury’s work on oceanography contributes a lot to weather reporting at sea.
C.Nowadays the equipment for studying the oceans needs improving,because it is out of date.
D.The expeditions in the past had great difficulty and made a lot of efforts in order to study the oceans.
