4．The majority of Indian women wear a red dot （圆点） between their eyebrows．While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital （婚姻的） status，the practice is primarily related to the Hindu religion．The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects，and"bindi"is the one that is most commonly known．Traditionally，the dot carries no gender restriction：Men as well as women wear it．However，the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times，so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one．
The position of the bindi is standard：center of the forehead，close to the eyebrows．It represents a third，or inner eye．Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes：The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world，and the third one is there to focus inward toward God．As such，the dot serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer's thoughts．
Red is the traditional color of the dot．It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wife's eyes to seal their marriage．According to Hindu beliefs，the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple．Today，people go with different colors depending upon their preferences．Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes．Decorative or sticker bindis come in all sizes，colors and variations，and can be worn by young and old，married and unmarried people alike．Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom．
35．Why did people in India start wearing a red dot on their forehead？C
A．To indicate their social rank．
B．To show their financial status．
C．To show their religious belief．

36．What is the importance of the third eye in Hindu tradition？A
A．To pay respect to God．
B．To stay in harmony with nature．
C．To see things with a subjective view．
D．To observe the outside world more clearly．
37．Why was red chosen as the original color of the bindi？D
A．The red dot represented the blood of God．
B．Red stood for a wife's love for her husband．
C．The word"bindi"means"red"in some Hindi dialects．
D．Red was supposed to bring good luck to a married couple．
38．Which of the following statements is true about the practice of wearing a bindi today？A

5．Two things I did may have caused people（31）to think （think） that something is wrong with me．The first was when my wife asked me to have the sitting-room clock （32）repaired （repair）．I drove into the market place of our little town and，clock under arm，entered a shop．Only it was the meat shop．（33）Withmy thoughts far away，I stood staring into the shop-keeper's eyes．I （34）had been（be） his customers for a long time and the good man smiled at me．
This went on for several very long seconds before I realized where I was．There is no doubt that I should have calmly bought a pound of meat，（35）butI merely nodded briefly and left．
The other man in my town who probably thinks I am mad is Mr．Smith．Some years ago he was manager of Mead's Shop，and he and I knew each other quite well．One day，he（36）was standing（stand） in the doorway of his shop when I passed．My brain was on some distant problem and my eyes stared into space．
"Hello，Mr．Herriot，"I heard his voice．I turned a blank gaze on him-I just had no idea（37）whohe was though his face was familiar．Then I saw（38）theword"MEAD"in foot-high letters above the shop window．
"Good morning，Mead，"I cried heartily and continued my way．I had gone only a few steps before I realized that my greeting had been（39）impolite（polite）．I turned back and said to him again，"Good morning，Mister Mead．"
It was only when I had turned the corner of the street that I realized，too late，（40）thathis name was Tony and the time was late afternoon．

8．A rapidly advancing contemporary science that is highly dependent on new tools is Earth system science．Earth system science involves observation and measurements on the Earth at all scales from the largest to the smallest．The huge amounts of data that are gathered come from many different locations and require special techniques for handling data．Important new tools that facilitate Earth system science include satellite remote sensing，small deep-sea submarines，and geographic information systems．
More than any other way of gathering evidence，satellite observations continually remind us that each part of the Earth interacts with and is dependent on all other parts．
Earth system science was born from the realization of that interdependence．Satellite remote sensing makes possible observations at large scales，and in many cases，measurements of factors that could not otherwise be measured．For example，the ozone hole over Antarctica--the decrease in the concentration of ozone high in the atmosphere--is measured by remote sensing，as are changes in deserts，forests，and farmlands around the world．Such measurements can be used in many areas of specialization besides Earth system science．Archaeology，for example，has benefited from satellite observations that reveal the traces of ancient trade routes across the Arabian Desert．
New tools for exploring previously inaccessible areas of the Earth have also added greatly to our knowledge of the Earth system．Small deep-sea submarines allow scientists to travel to the depths of the ocean．There they have discovered new species and ecosystems thriving near deep-sea vents that emit heat，sasses，and mineral-rich water．
Just as important as new methods of measurement and exploration are new ways to store and analyze data about the Earth system．Computer-based software programs known as geographic information systems，or GIS，allow a large number of data points to be stored along with their locations．These can be used to produce maps and to compare different sets of information gathered at different times．For example，satellite remote sensing images of a forest can be converted to represent stages in the forest's growth．Two such images，made at different times can be overlaid and compared，and the changes that have taken place can be represented in a new image．

76．According to the passage，satellite observations of the Arabian Desert allow archaeologists to knowA．
A．indications of ancient routes

77．What is the main idea of the passageB？
