34、ce of booking air tickets to tourists D. provide the British with a better understanding of China.CHave you ever wondered?1. Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?It can take five hours to go west-east from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY .

35、The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet（喷射）stream. The jet stream is a very high altitude wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go faster in the west-east direction when they are movin

36、g with the wind than in the opposite direction.2. What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?Supposing we could magically turn off gravity. Would buildings and other structures（建筑物）float away? What happened would depend on how strongly the things were attached to the Earth. Th

37、e Earth is moving at quite a speed, moving at over a thousand miles per hour. If you turn something around your head on a string（细绳）, it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string. Then it flies off in a straight line. Switching off gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things

38、not attached to the Earth would fly off in a straight line. People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling. Most things outside would fly off into space.63. What information can we get from the first passage?A. Planes go slower when they are moving with

39、the wind. B. It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly.C. It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY.D. The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic.64. The word “shoot” underlined in the 2nd passage probably means “_”.A. send for B

40、 grow quicklyC. move quickly D. come out 65. It can be inferred that without gravity _.A. trees and buildings would not so easily fly offB. buildings and other structures would float away C. something around your head would not float away D. everything outside buildings would fly off into space66. W

41、here can we most probably read this text?A. In a research paper. B. In a travel magazine. C. In a students book D. In a short story.DThe Internet will open up new vistas (前景)，create the global village you can make new friends all around the world .That, at least, is what it promised us. The difficul

42、ty is that it did not take the human mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationships with more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the Internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.The problem is twofold（双重的）.First, the

43、re is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest（投入）in them. We invest a lot in a small number of people

44、and then distribute whats left among as many others as we can. The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline（减弱）until eventually it dies into “someone I once knew”.This is not, of course, to say that the Internet doesnt serve a socially valuab

45、le function. Of course it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to move to the other side of the world.In one sense,

46、thats a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see them, then certainly you arent using your time to make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that probably isnt the best use of your time. Meaningful relationsh

47、ips are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The Internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it wont stop that happening eventually.67. What is stressed in the first paragraph?A. The present situation of the Internet.B. The difficulty in communication

48、 on the Internet.C. The socially valuable function of the Internet.D. The role of the human mind in the Internet communication.68. The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”.A. appointment B. interview C. connection D. agreement69. According to the passage, the autho

49、r holds the view that .A. the Internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promisedB. the Internet determines the quality of social relationshipsC. the Internet greatly increases the size of social circlesD. the Internet communication is no less effective than the face-to-face ta

50、lk70. What is the authors attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships?A. He is uncertain about it. B. He doubts it.C. He is hopeful of it. D. He approves of it.第二节 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项Public Speaking and Critical ThinkingWhat is critical thinking? To a ce
