8.For centuries the Atlantic Ocean kept the Americans from being discovered by the people of Europe.It is more than 4,000 miles(6,400km) wide where Columbus crossed it.(71)BThis narrowest place is between the bulge (鼓起) of South America and the bulge of Africa.
One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic.(72)GThe tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands.The Azores are the tops of peaks in the mid-Atlantic mountain range.
Ocean currents (流) are sometimes called"rivers in the sea".One of these"rivers"in the Atlantic is called the Gulf Stream.It is a current of warm water.Another is the Labrador Current-cold water coming down from the Arctic.(73)EToday the Atlantic is a great highway.(74)AStorms sweep across it and pile up great waves.Icebergs float down from the far north across the paths of ships.
The modern fast ways of traveling make the big ocean seem smaller.Columbus sailed for more than two months to cross it.(75)DAirplanes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from South America to Africa in four!

A.It is not,however,always a smooth and safe one.
B.Even at its narrowest it is about 2,000 miles (3,200km) wide.
C.The Atlantic furnishes much food for the people on its shores.
D.A fast modern steamship can make the trip in less than four days.
E.Ocean currents affect the climates of the land near which they flow.

5.New research has found that even if you give up smoking,the damage it has done to your genes(基因)will stay there for a much longer time.
In the research,a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people.Among them,some were smokers,some used to smoke,and the rest were non-smokers.Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes.
According to NBC News,both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes.Some people may have had the changes when they were born,but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like  smoking.
When you stop smoking,a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.This means your body is trying to heal(治愈)itself of the harmful effects of smoking.But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer.They can stay for as long as 30 years.It's almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement(水泥)一it will always be there,even when you've walked away and when the cement becomes dry.
Although the study results may make people unhappy,there is a bright side:the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer ricks.

59.The function of Paragraph 1 is toB.
A.give an example
B.introduce the topic of the passage
C.make an argument
D.show the main idea of the passage
60.Most genetic changes happen because ofC.
A.people's condition at birth
B.environmental pollution
C.people's bad living habits
D.heart disease and cancer
61.The underlined word"it"in Paragraph 6refers toB.
A.the cement  B.the footprint  C.the harmful  D.the genetic change
62.Which of the following statements is true?D
A.The findings are the fruit of more than three years'research.
B.The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking.
C.The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.
D.The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.
