the surfaceTherefore, building an underground subway in the city of Rome is not an easy thingCompared to other European capitals, Romes subway is far less developedFor years, Romes 28 million citizens relied only on two subway lines that fell short of meeting the citys transportation needsBeing one of the oldest cities in the world, the construction of a subway faces the problem of the shortage of money but especially protecting the underground treasuresDuring the construction of the first two subway lines in the 1950s, each excavation（挖掘） exposed archaeological（考古的） remains and the construction had to be stopped to allow the local archaeologists to check them to see whether the discovery proved valuable to the history of the RomansAfter years of debate, work began on a third subway lineNow that the third subway line is under construction, it has been marked as an “archaeological survey” from the very beginning and great care is being takenThis new line will run through the very heart of the ancient cityIt will be 24 kilometers in length and 25 to 30 meters below groundArchaeologists are working together with construction workers to excavate beneath Romes centerAlmost immediately, excavation uncovered some wonderful findsThey dug one layer deeper and this exposed a 10th centurys road that once crossed the city, one layer below which, they discovered a pavement（人行道） from the 8th centuryNear the ancient Forum, workers discovered a sixth-century copper factoryThe early factory consisted of small ovens（爐子） used to work on copperSmall copper masses discovered at the scene were sent for analysisThe workers found the base of an imperial Roman public buildingThere isnt an inch of Rome that doesnt have some artifacts belowLike their ancestors, todays Romans have found a way to protect the old while creating the new56The main problem that the Romans have to solve is_Ahow to get a great deal of money to build a third subway line Bhow to bring in new technology to build a third subway lineChow to make the transportation in Rome more popular with touristsDhow to build a third subway line without destroying their artifacts57Why is a third subway line expected to be built in the city of Rome?ABecause archaeologists want to research the wonderful ancient underground systemsBBecause its present subway lines are not enough to meet the citys transportation needsCBecause the officials of Rome expect to discover the valuable treasures while building itDBecause Romes citizens prefer the subway lines to the other transportation forms58We can infer that the building of the third subway line _Ahas been argued by a lot of people for a long time Bis an easy thing for many people want it to be built Chas no any difficulty for the government supports it Dwill be impossible for Romans protect their artifacts59What can we learn from the passage?AThe large copper masses discovered at the scene were valuableBA copper factory which was built in the 8th century was uncoveredCArchaeologists excavation began with the construction beneath Romes centerDA pavement from the 8th century was over a 10th centurys roadB Students like to use their time in many different waysThis can be a window into the way they treat the rest of their livesFirst, examine the student who does homeworkThe class that they attend endsThey leave their desk, and make their way to the next classroomThey do not waste time talking to friends, and do not wander aboutBy studying, they show that they are preparedThey wont be caught off guard by a pop quiz（突擊測驗）Nor will they be caught off guard when their boss wants them to write the report that was supposed to be written two days laterNext, look at the student who does nothing in generalWhen the bell rings, the students make their way to the next classThey stop for a drink at the drinking fountain（自動飲水器）, but avoid wasting timeThey sit at their desk quietly, and wait for the class to beginThese persons are not particularly prepared, but nor do they show tendencies toward slacking off（懈?。㏕hey will probably make their way through life in a mediocre fashionNever quite the best, but never coming out on the bottom of the pileLastly, consider the irresponsible studentWhen the class ends, they hurry into the hall to meet their friends, who they see every day between classesThe two of them talk for a few minutes, and the bell ringsThey hurriedly say goodbye, and rush off to their classesThese persons will probably not get anywhere in life with their current actionsThey will be late to absolutely everythingThis makes employers unhappy, which in turn makes the employees unhappy when they are firedHow students use their spare time between classes reveals who they areTheir actions in the present influence the way that they will live their lives in the futureThey need to take a look at their lives now and ask themselves, “Am I living my life the way I want to live it in the future?” 60According to the text, how students use their spare time between classes _Acan be used as a window to see their later lives Bmainly determines their performance in schoolCcan be used to judge their preference of lifestyles Dis a prediction of their choice of careers later in life61The students who do homework _Amay not be popular with friends Bdont have any hobby besides studyingCcan do well in their future jobs Dwill miss a lot of fun in school62If later asked to write a report for the boss, the irresponsible student would probably _Ahand in the report in time Bhand in a neat report Cwrite an average report but hand it in on time Dforget about it or hand it in later than required CMost children, even the youngest of children, are delighted to be around cats and dogs. But these pets carry plenty of germs and allergens (過敏原), prompting researchers to ask: Are cats and dogs really safe for children?A study finds that, contrary to many parents fears, owning cats or dogs does not increase a childs risk of developing allergies, and in fact, may actually protect them. The studys lead author, Dr. Dennis Ownby of the Medical College of Georgia, said that even he was very surprised by the results. Ownby and colleagues followed more than 470 children from birth to age 6 or 7, comparing those exposed to cats and dogs during their first years of life to those who were not.By using skin-prick tests for detecting common allergies, the researchers found that, contrary to what many doctors had been taught for years, children who had lived with a pet were not at greater risk.Even more remarkable, children who had two or more dogs or cats had an even greater reduction, up to 77 percent, in risk of allergies. Researchers suggest this protective effect may be the result of early exposure to lots of bacteria that are carried by dogs and cats. Exposing young children to these bacteria helps exercise their immune systems early in life so that theyre better able to resist allergic diseases later.Theres something very important in the first years of life when the immune system is developing that we can retrain it away from an allergic response, said Dr. William Davis.And while researchers are not encouraging parents to buy dogs or cats just to reduce a childs allergy risk, they say if a family already has one or more animals, theres no need to get rid of them.63. Why do the researchers feel very surprised by the results of the study?A. Because the results are contrary to their expectation.B. Because so many children are playing with cats and dogs.C. Because parents are so much worried about their children.D. Because children with animals may develop allergies easily.64. Compared with children who have pets, those who havent _.A. will lose the chance to develop immune system B. may suffer allergic diseases more oftenC. will reduce the harm from bacteria D. can keep doctors away65. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. pets are ill-treated by their owners B. less families would like to own cats and dogsC. keeping pets is a good way to keep children healthyD. the results of the study can make families with pets feel at ease66. What may be the best title of the passage?A. How to protect your kids from allergies B. Your pets may be helping your kidsC. Bacteria do good to your kids D. Advantages of owning petsDGlobal warming thr
