11、e(敞篷車)with the top down at 60 miles an hour, Mary looked at the flies that sat on top of Marks hair. How could they stay there? She wondered. Mary had not seen Mark in years, until the other day when he came into the caféwhere she worked. His appearance was different from when he was in high sc

12、hool. Now, he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes. However, that didnt change Marys feelings for him at all. He had just bought a brand new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him. Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door

13、 for her. She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away. On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there. Mary stared in amazement. It seemed the faster they drove, the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair. Mary remained silent. She leaned f

14、orward and turned the radio on, to try to divert her attention away from the flies, but she couldnt help thinking about them. She looked up at Mark, who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along. Finally, Mark pulled the vehicle over t

15、o the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said, “Mary, I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat. Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream? ”Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack, which contained a round jar and start

16、ed to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label(商標). “Thats not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says its Fly Trap Glue! ”1. What did Mary probably do? A. A car saleswoman. B. A waitress. C.

17、ought a new sports car for MaryC. Mark and Mary had been in love for yearsD. Mary felt strange when she saw the red car3. The underlined word“divert”in Para. 4 can be replaced by.

18、m for her. B. Because Mary played a trick on Mark. C. Because Mark had mistaken Fly Trap Glue for hair cream. D. Because their ride wasnt well prepared. 5. Whats the best title for this passage?

19、e size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birth rates, that has led t

20、o the population explosion. Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be l

21、eft behind to die. In times of famine(饑荒), infants(幼兒)might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where as if once the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary(當代的)societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether

22、they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the

23、United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often“go on welfare”if they have a seriou

24、s illness. When older people become senile(衰老的)or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave(嚴重的)problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, t

25、here is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent(療養(yǎng)的)hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other non-profit groups. While a few of these i

26、nstitutions are good, most of them are simply“dumping(倒垃圾的)grounds”for the dying in which“care”is given by poorly paid, overworked and underskilled personnel. 6. The author believes that the population explosion results from. A. an increase in birth ratesB. the industrial developmentC. a decrease in

27、 death ratesD. human beingscultural advances7. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures. A. it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could not workB. the survival of infants was less important than that of their parents in tim

28、es of starvationC. old people were given the task of imparting the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generationsD. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freedom of the hardships of life8.

32、ge. In the past, when people had problems, they went to their families or friends to get advice. Today it is possible to get advice from radio shows, TV programmes and telephone hotlines, too. A hotline is a telephone line that offers a direct way of getting in touch with advisers. Most hotlines are

33、 completely anonymous-callers do not have to say their names or telephone numbers. Most hotlines are usually free, too. Callers do not have to pay for the advice or the phone calls-even if the calls are long distance. At some hotlines, the advisers are volunteers. Other hotlines pay their advisers f
