题目内容

Many years ago, Norman Cousins was seriously ill. He was given six months to live. His chance for recovery was 1 in 500.

He could see the worry, depression and anger in his life contributed to his disease. He wondered, “If illness can be caused by negativity (消极性), can health be created by positivity (积极性)?” He decided to make an experiment of himself.

Laughing was one of the most positive activities he knew. He watched all the funny movies he could find. He read funny stories. He asked his friends to call him whenever they said, heard or did something interesting.

His pain was so great that he could not sleep. Laughing for 10 solid minutes, he found, relieved the pain for several hours so he could sleep. He fully recovered from his illness and lived another 20 happy and healthy years.

Laughing is necessary to our health. If we’re not well, laughing helps us get well; if we are well, laughing helps us stay that way. So, if you like laughing, do it as often as you can.

Use whatever makes you laugh—movies, books, jokes or friends. The people around you may think you’re strange, but sooner or later they’ll join in even if they don’t know what you’re laughing about.

56. Cousins decided to try to laugh a lot ______.

A. in order to be happy B. in order to cure his disease

C. because he could not live for long D. because his disease couldn’t be cured

57. The text mainly tells us ______.

A. how to be happy B. laughing is good for our health

C. about Cousins’ miserable life D. funny stories make our life different

58. Which of the following is TRUE about his illness?

A. There was little possibility to cure his disease.

B. He had been happy before he was ill.

C. His disease resulted from his hard work.

D. His disease made him sleepy all the time.

The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.

On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people drowned.

Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the Earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.

Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?

1.What is mainly described in the passage?

A. A historic discovery. B. An event of imagination.

C. A research on space. D. A scientific adventure.

2.When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes .

A. an earthquake B. damages to cities

C. an Earth explosion D. huge waves

3.Why can’t the northern half of the earth escape for long?

A. Because the land is covered with water.

B. Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the Earth.

C. Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.

D. Because wars break out among countries.

4.By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove .

A. animals could not live in the cold climate

B. what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story

C. the human beings will die out in 2094

D. the Earth could be hit by other objects in space
