Reading comprehension: AFor years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. “We can do without railways” peopl

9、e say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that theyre dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to ca

10、rry people or goods from place to place, theyre cheaper than planes.And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a strange line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesnt leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from

11、 the city center. It doesnt hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do. Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well,

12、 sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we cant us

16、tlose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself Id lose the weight at slimming classes in t

17、he new year, but it didnt happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. Id lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bags of fish and chips didnt make any difference but the scales dont lie.Roz Juma:To be honest, I never weigh myself any more Ive learnt to be happy with myself. It seem

18、ed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips. My idea is simple. You shouldnt be too much thinking about food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a supper-thin body. This is obviously the size Im meant to be and, most of a

19、ll, Im happy with it.Lesley Codwin:I was very happy about winning Young Silmmer of the Year. Id look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me!

I feel a complete failure because Ive put on weight again.Ros Langfod:Before moving in with my husband Gavin, Id always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year.

25、y hundreds of years, it was not until 160 years ago that it was mined for the first time on the North American continent. H. W. Johns, owner of a New York City Supply Shop for roofers, was responsible for the opening of that first mine.Mr. Johns was given a piece of asbestos which had been found in

26、Italy. He experimented with the material and then showed its surprising powers to his customers. After putting on a pair of asbestos gloves, which looked much like ordinary work gloves, he took red-hot coals from the fireplace and played with them in his hands. How astonished the customers were to d

27、iscover that he was not burned at all. You can well imaging that he had increasing business in asbestos roofing materials. However, because it was very expensive to transport them from Italy to the United States, Mr. Johns sent out a young scientist to seek a source nearer home. This young man found

28、 great vein(岩脉), in the province of Quebec in Canada.Ever since 1881 Quebec has led the world in the production of this unusual mineral, which is made up of magnesium, silicon, iron, and oxygen. When it is mined, the asbestos is heavy, just as you would expect a mineral to be. When it is separated,

29、a strange thing happens ;the rock breaks down into fine, soft, soapy fibers.Scientists do not know why the rock can be separated easily into threads(线), but they have found thousands of uses for this fireproof material, of the called the “cloth of stone”.72The title that best expresses the main idea

30、 of this passage is _.AAsbestos mined in Canada B. Fireproof matterCA “Wonder” mineral D. A new roofing material73. Johns proved his ability as a salesman by _.A. going into the roofing businessB. carrying asbestos from ItalyC. sending a trained scientistD. showing the use of asbestos gloves74. Whic

32、ncrease the sales of asbestosD. present facts about asbestos DThe great advance in rocket theory 40 years ago showed that liquid-fuel rockets were far superior in every respect to the skyrocket with its weak solid fuel, the only kind of rocket then known. However during the last decade, large solid-

33、fuel rockets with solid fuels about as powerful as liquid fuels have made their appearance, and it is a favorite laypersons （外行）question to inquire which one is better. It all depends on the purpose. A liquid-fuel rocket is complicated, but has the advantage that it can be controlled beautifully. Th

34、e burning of the rocket engine can be stopped completely; it can be re-ignited (点燃) when desired. In addition, the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the speed of the fuel pumps. A solid-fuel rocket, on the other hand, is rather simple in construction, though hard to build when a really large s

35、ize is desired. But once you have a solid-fuel rocket, it is ready for action at very short notice. A liquid-fuel rocket has to be fueled first and cannot be held in readiness for very long after it has been fueled. However, once a solid-fuel rocket has been ignited, it will keep burning. It cannot

36、be stopped and re-ignited whenever desired and its thrust cannot be varied. Because a solid-fuel rocket can be kept ready for a long time, most military missiles employ solid fuels, but human-piloted space flight needs the fine adjustments that can only be provided by liquid fuels. It may be added t

37、hat a liquid-fuel rocket is an expensive device; a large solid-fuel rocket is, by comparison, cheap. But the solid fuel, pound per pound costs about 10 times as much as the liquid fuel. So you have, on the one hand, an expensive rocket with a cheap fuel and on the other hand a comparatively cheap ro

38、cket with an expensive fuel.76. Which of the following is inferred from the passage?A. Rockets using liquid fuel was not available 40 years ago although researches were being done on the practicability of using liquid fuel in rockets.B. It was not until the last decade that rockets using solid fuels

39、 made their appearance.C. Complicated rockets using solid fuel have the advantage of flexibility and adjustability that liquid-fuel rockets dont possess.D. Liquid fuel costs about 10 times as much as the solid fuel costs.77. Which of the following was NOT mentioned as one of the advantages of liquid

40、-fuel rockets?A. They are easy to control.B. Their thrust is variable.C. They are easy to construct.D. Their speed is adjustable.78. The chief consideration for using liquid fuels in human-piloted space flights is that the rocket _.A. is inexpensive to constructB. is capable of carrying heavy cargoC

41、. is easy to controlD. is inexpensive to operate79. Which of the following statements is true about solid-fuel rockets?A. They are simple to construct.B. They can be re-ignited when desired.C. They can provide fine adjustments in operation.D. They cost a lot less than liquid-fuel rockets to construc
