26、an reading while floating in the Dead Sea. What a miracle! How would it feel to lie back in water so thick with salt that it was impossible to sink?Fed by the Jordan River and smaller streams, the Dead Sea is the lowest pointon the earth' s surface, and its water is ten times saltier than the Me

27、diterranean.As evaporation （蒸發(fā)）is its only outlet, salt and other minerals become super-concentrated.Earlier this year, I drove down the long, steep hill to realize my dream. The shoreline was a broad area of bare salt-mud, but the water edge was out of sight. It seemed as if somebody had pulled the

28、 Dead Sea' s plug（插頭）.Eli Dior, an Israeli official, explained the problem “The Dead Sea is drying up. Every year, the surface falls about one meter, and as the water level falls, shallow areas are left high and dry.”O(jiān)ver the last half-century, the five neighboring countries have used up almost

29、all the water flowing into the Dead Sea to meet human and agriculture needs. Result the Dead Sea is being emptied.With population in the neighbouring countries to double at least in the next 50 years, there is little hope of restoring the water being used in this area. No country has a drop to spare

30、 for the Dead Sea, where they know it will just evaporate. To dream of opening the dams and restoring natural balance is unrealistic.Yet one ambitious high-tech dream may turn out to be not only the solution to the Dead Sea but also a ticket to peace around its shores. The"Red-Dead' is apro

31、posed $5 billion project to bring sea water some 240 kilometers by pipeline and canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea. The Red-Dead may be the only solution, but even if the project is carried out successfully, the Dead Sea will be 10 to 20 meters lower than now and two thirds of its current size.W

32、hatever the future holds, the Dead Sea' s magical mix of sun, mud, sea and salt will surely survive. Many might complain that the Dead Sea is half emptybut forme the Dead sea will always be half full.51. What's the passage mainly about ?A. The Dead Sea is a miracle of the world.B. How to sav

33、e the environment of the Dead Sea.C. Why the Dead Sea is so salty.D. The Dead Sea is slowly becoming smaller.52.

It can be inferred from the passage that.A. water crisis is a potential threat to the peace of the area around the Dead SeaB. as a result of the project“ReckDead' , the Dead Sea will be two thirds largerC. the countries around th

35、e Dead Sea will join hands to spare water for the SeaD. If the Dead Sea dried up, great natural disasters would happen in the region 54. What is the writer's attitude towards the future of the Dead Sea?A. Reserved B. Doubtful C. Optimistic D. ConcernedBMoving to a new city and state was difficul

36、t for me, especially in winter. Little did I know that a Colorado snowstorm would greet me after I had been in my new home for only a week.I just missed home. But more than the old house and the beach, I missed Stacey, my best friend. And I missed our lovely tea. Going to a sweet little tearoom, we

37、had discovered a special treat for us. The place was a Victorian dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints. The hat shelf near the front door swept us back to childhood. Stacey and I became little girls, trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up t

38、ea party. We would then choose a lovely table and order our tea. That was a precious time, filled with laughter between scones （煎餅）and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches.Springtime descended upon Denver, and the sun lightened my heart. But I still fought loneliness almost every day.

39、I decided to explore the Denver area. While my husband went to the office, I took time to see what our new area had to offer.One day, I was walking along the street when suddenly the words "Tea Leaves" caught my eye. A tea room? Here, in the land of loneliness and pain?I walked through the

40、 doors, and tears came to my eyes. It was a beautiful room, not Victorian, but simple and lovely.I sat down and ordered a pot of tea, a cucumber sandwich, and some scones. It felt silly and wonderful - and it felt like home. For the first time since moving, I felt as if this new city and state could

41、 be, would eventually be, my home. I would come back here and bring new friends. When Stacey visited, we would come here.I lifted my cup and made a silent toast. I toasted Stacey, whom I missed, and I toasted the sweet little tearoom that lessened my pain.55. The underlined word "treat" in

45、ome and do homework.That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators madeit easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone poli

46、cy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we' ve madea terrible mista

47、ke. One such teacher is Sharon Clomps who says of her students “so passive ” - and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Clomps, contributes to children ' s passivity. "We re talking about a generation of kids who' vet never been hurt or

48、hungry. They have learned somebody will always do itfor them, instead of saying 'go and look it up' , you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid. ”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It' s time for parents to endtheir vacation and come back to work.

49、 It ' s ti me to take the car aw; tab-stops: 1ay, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it' s fortheir own good. It ' s s time to start telling them no again.59. Children are becoming more inactive in study because.A. they watch TV too oftenB. they have done to

50、o much homeworkC. they have to fulfill too many D. teachers are too strict with them duties60. We learn from the passage that the author ' s mother used to lay emphasis onA. learning LatinB. disciplineC. natural developmentD. education at school61.

51、2) the author means a timeA. when children are allowed to do what they wish toB. when everything can be taught at schoolC. when every child can be educatedD. when children are permitted to receive education62. The main idea of the passage is that.A. parents should leave their children aloneB. kids s

52、hould have more activities at schoolC. it ' s time to be more strict with our kidsD. parents should always set a good example to their kidsDAs computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they

53、use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes （筆畫）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school.

54、 And computer dependence is more widelyspreadamong university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.It ' s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that ' s why computers are being ap

55、plied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.“When I' m writing with a pen, I find I often can' t remember how to write acharacter, though I feel I ' m familiar with it. ”"I ' m not in the mood to writ

56、e when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students don' t feel this is something to worry about. Nowthat it ' s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said,

57、“ Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic （審美的）value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer ' s emotion. Through one' s handwriting, people c

58、an get to know one ' s th inking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them. ”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory （必修的） and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.63. The underlined expression “taking stock in" in paragraph 4 probably means.A. getting bored withB. getting dependent onC. becoming crazy about D. getting curious about64. The students interviewed prefer to write
