studying this question and found the answers interesting.
One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, "Well, it's my first day back in New York
in seven years. I've been in prison." Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. "Yeah, I shot a man in Reno."
I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian
driver, "Reno? That is in Nevada?"
Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic when I said I'd just been fired. "This is America," a Haitian driver
said."One door is closed. Another is open." He argued against my plan to burn down my boss's house. A
Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope; he refused to take me to the middle
of George Washington Bridge-a $ 20 trip. "Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don't worry. Take
a new job."
One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word
"BANK" on it, I tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My
ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received.
"Let's go across the park." I said. "I just robbed the bank there. I got $ 25 000."
"$ 25 0007" He asked.
"Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?"
"No, man. I work 8 hours and I don't make almost $ 70. If I can do that, I do it too."
As we approached 86th and Lexington, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.
"Hey, there's another bank," I said, "Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?"
"No, I can't wait. Pay me now." His reluctance may have something to do with money-taxi drivers think
the rate for waiting time is too low-but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can't expect
unconditional support.
B. he was afraid of the author
C. he looked down upon the author
D. he thought the author was crazy
B. Because he wanted to go home and relax.
C. Because it was far away from his home.
D. Because he thought that the author would commit suicide.
B. The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.
C. The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.
D. The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery.
B. They often refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.
C. They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.
D. They work only for money.
B. how to deal with taxi drivers
C. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards riders in personal trouble
D. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards troublesome taxi riders
Many people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring．Many like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn．But sometimes，when the wind becomes a storm，it can be very destructive．
A series of such storms struck the us last month and caused very serious damage and human pain．
Every year，major storms cause many problems around the world．There is nothing people can．do to stop these powerful forces of nature．But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how，when ,and where big storms will happen．The more exact scientists’ warnings are，the better people can prepare for the storms．
Predictions are improving．“We’ve gotten better over the years，especially the last few years，”says Phil Klotzback，a scientist at an American university．How is a storm formed ? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen，winds can suddenly change，carrying the storm to a new direction．“For a hurricane to happen，conditions have to be just right，”Klotzback says．
First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air．As it rises．the vapor cools and turns back into liquid．This process gives off heat．This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase．It drives the formation of a hurricane．
If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour，the system is called a“tropical storm”（热带风暴），and it gets a name．At 75 miles per hour，it becomes a hurricane．
Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa．Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world．
On average，60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year．About l0 of them get names．There are usually about six hurricanes．Two tend to be very big，with winds of 115 miles per hour of higher．
The hurricane season lasts from June to November．Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in Au
gust，September，and October．
1．According to the text，hurricanes usually ________
A．form off the coast of Africa and America
B．travel at 40 miles per hour and get its name
C．cause sea winds to rise and blow over the sea
D．hit parts of the world in summer and autumn
2．If _______，people can prepare for the storms better．
A．people fully realize the destroy of storms
B．scientists give predi6tions or warnings of storms more exactly
C．scientists know where a storm will happen
D．conditions of the storms are just to be right．
3．The underlined word“evaporates”（in Paragraph 5）probably means“________”．
A．begins to move B．gets lost
C．becomes hot D．changes into a gas
4．Which of the following about the information of a hurricane is the correct order
a．The ocean water evaporates and goes into the air．
b．Heat creates energy and causes winds to increase．
c．ne vapor cools．
d．The ocean water is warm enough．
e．The vapor changes back into liquid．
f．This course gives out heat．
A．a，d，e，b，c，f B．a，b，c，f，d，e
C．d，a，c，e，f，b D．d，a，b，c，e，f
5．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．The speed of the biggest two hurricanes reaches 115miles per hour．
B．About one third of the hurricanes tend to be very big．
C．One out of six or seven storms get names．
D．Every year at least 60 storms form off Africa．

It is natural that children are curious about the world around them. For example, they want to know how their hearts beat. They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty.
As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. They become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky. Later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity continues. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career (生涯、职业) in science.
Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world．Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies. Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e. g. physics, chemistry .
These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world．For example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Your heart is a pump (泵) that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen, too . So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.
Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask , “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.
We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.

Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.
Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal’s teeth.
Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.
Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.
67．The holly plant has more spines on the lower leaves because most animals________.
A．are not tall enough
B．like the lower leaves only
C．are not clever enough
D．can get the lower leaves easily
68．To defend themselves, oak trees use________.
A．chemical means B．physical means
C．bitter chemicals D．sandy materials
69．How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?
A．Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.
B．Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.
C．Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.
D．Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.
70．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Plants and Animals
B．How Plants Defend Themselves
C．Attacks and Defenses
D．How Animals Eat Plant Leaves
