Numerous arti
10、cles have been written and intensive research has been conducted on dinosaurs.Scientists believe that dinosaurs came into existence about 180,000,000 years ago, but have been extinct for several millions of years, and to-date, only reconstructed fossil (31) serve as tangible(实际的) proof that dinosaur
11、s did exist on earth at one time.Dinosaurs were actually reptiles, a separate class of animals with the following (32) ;they are cold-blooded; they can live on land; they have a (33) type of heart and most of them have scales.The first reptiles appeared long before the dinosaurs (34) big lizards and

14、rs are only found in books, pictures and in motion pictures. With the remarkably widespread interest in dinosaurs, people become agog in asking this question: Why did the giant creatures become extinct? Many scientists offer one conjecture(猜测) that they disappeared because of the changes in the clim
15、ate of the earth, which deprived them of the places to live in and feed.

17、at it will no longer be necessary to incur(引起)the costs of exchange from one currency to another. Travelers know that these costs are not negligible. First of all, there is a commission (41) (usually a fixed amount); secondly, the price (42) which the traveler purchases foreign currency for domestic
18、 currency (43) from the price of exchanging back surplus (过剩)foreign currency. The removal of these transaction costs constitutes a gain from monetary union.Another benefit is that removal of exchange rate (44) between the countries of the EU would provide much more assurance to (45) location decisi
19、ons. At present, a company takes (46) of the risk of exchange rate variation in its location decision, and this may lead it to scatter its plants across the various economies to hedge against(防范)the risk of exchange rate variation. Removing this source of uncertainty allows investors to (47) accordi

25、 them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdo
26、m and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become better people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who dont go. But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, thos
27、e who dont fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each others experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Other find no
28、 stimulation in their studies, and drop outoften encouraged by college administrators. Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselvesthey are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesnt explain all campus unhappiness. O
29、thers blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cant absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-ol
30、ds, either. Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through
31、the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesnt make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn thingsmay it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attract
32、ed to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evid
33、ence is beginning to mount up.56.what do stiletto heels refer to according to the passage?, _.A.Heels most appropriate for catwalks.B.shoes that fit retail sector workers best.C.heels with the limit of an inch.D.very high heels that women wear.57.why did the Trade Union leaders propose to ban stilet

36、th.B.The union officials shouldnt have debates on any motions.C.Its unnecessary and women have right to decide what to wear.D.The union leaders should decide on the tightness of ties instead.DABC(B) Noad was a tall, handsome 23-year-old Balinese man who was in love with one girl but expected to marr
37、y another. His stepmother had arranged everything- he would wed a distant relation and bring the two families closer together. Noad had two choices. He would either marry the girl he did not love, or he could go against the wishes of parents and be expelled from his village. Actually he had another
38、choice, one which none of his family foresaw. One day his friends found him slumped in a comma on hes bed after he had consumed two litres of a powerful insecticide. For more than 60 years the tropical Indonesian island of Bali has been portrayed to the outside world as a heavenly paradise where a s
39、trong culture and sense of community protect its inhabitants from the rigors of the modern world. It is an image supported by many millions of dollars from the international hotel community which provides luxury accommodation and facilities for nearly a million foreign visitors now travelling annual
40、ly to the holiday island. Yet behind the marketing hype lies another story- one which exist in stark contrast to the sun, sand and sea”dream”. The truth is that the lives of Balis 2.7 million local inhabitants are often marked by poverty, suffering and family conflict. Ketut is a 22-year-old maid wh
41、o works part-time for an expatriate resident in Ubud, in the centre of the island. Her husband works as a driver for a white-water rafting company which provides day trips to tourists.”sometimes i have no money for my baby because my husband gambles all his wages.” the husbands father, unfamiliar wi
42、th western support system, combats his sons behavior by calling in the dukun, a spiritual” healer”who makes offerings to the bad spirits at play in his mind.60. You would expect to find this passage in_ ?A. A newspaperB. An advertisementC.a travel brochureD.a book61. It can be inferred from the para
43、graph 1 that the third choice that Noads family failed to foresee is that_.A. He fell into sleep B. He went against their wishes and left homeC. He commited suicide D. He started to take drugs62. In paragraph 2 it refers to_A. Strong culture. B. Sense of community.C. Heavenly paradise. D. The modern
44、 world.BCC(C) Most people dont leave their front door unlocked, and the same is true of their home Wi-Fi networks. But some believe that preventing access to your wireless Internet actually does more harm than good. Peter Eckersley of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organisation devoted to de
45、fending digital rights, is calling for an Open Wireless Movement and encouraging people to be socially responsible by sharing their connection. Eckersley compares the current situation of locked-down networks to finding yourself parched(干透的)and thirsty while everyone around you is sipping from nice
46、tall glasses of iced water, and offers a technological solution. We restrict access to our networks for two reasons: to prevent other people from using up our bandwidth, and to ensure our security and privacy. He suggests we can still protect ourselves from both problems by using routers(路由器)that sh
47、are a certain amount of bandwidth in the open while also providing an encrypted(加密的)connection for personal use, but such technology already exists, and people arent choosing to use it. Perhaps the problem is not technological, but legal, as home users dont want to be responsible for the activities of others on their network. Quite understandable,
