At three a.m., Jack Mills was sitting at the controls of the mail train. The train was made up of 13 cars. At the end of the train, 71 mailmen sat sorting the mail. Inside the second car, there were only five mailmen and 128 bags full of five-pound notes. This train had run more than 100 years without being robbed(抢劫). At three minutes past three, Mills and his helper, David Whitby, saw a yellow warning light. They slowed the train, and then stopped. Whitby went to the telephone beside the track. It was out of order. Then he saw a man moving between the second and the third cars. Before Whitby could give a warning, he was knocked down by two men. Mills’ cars with all the mailmen had been disconnected by the robbers. At the bridge, the bags of money were unloaded from the train and thrown into waiting trucks. One of the robbers who obviously knew the schedules(时刻表) of all the trains kept looking at his watch. At 3:45 he said, “That will have to be enough.” The robbers drove away with more than 2,500,000 pounds.

41. The robbery took place______.

A. before 3:03                                                         B. in the early morning   

C. after three o’clock in the afternoon             D. after 3:45

42. The robbers_____ before the train stopped.

A. were all in the train                                          B. forced Mills to stop the train

C. were waiting for the train to stop                D. ordered Mills to go on driving

43. Why didn’t the other mailmen help the mailmen in the second car when the robbery happened?

A. Because they were busy sorting the mail.

B. Because they didn’t want to help the mailmen in the second car.

C. Because the last eleven cars were separated from the front cars.

D. Because they knew nothing about the robbery.

44. One of the robbers kept looking at his watch because________.

         All of us eat every day, but most of us don’t understand nutrition. We often make mistakes in talking about good diet.

For example, many people think that foods such as rice, bread and potatoes will make one grow fat. In fact, these foods are very good to one’s health. They are good sources of many vitamins. And in comparison with steak and beef, they contain less amount of calories.

Some people don’t like canned(罐装的) or frozen vegetables, because they think fresh vegetables cooked at home are always better. This is again wrong. In fact, whether the vegetables are good or not depends more on how they are prepared. Overcooking, for example, destroys good qualities of vegetables. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a large amount of vitamins.

It is widely believed extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn’t make it function better.

It is also wrong to say that vegetables grown in poor, worn-out soil are lower in vitamins than vegetables grown in rich soil. The vitamins in our foods are in the plants themselves. They don’t come from the soil. However, the minerals(矿物质) in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil.

In short, there are many false ideas about nutrition. We need to correct them.

46. This passage is mainly about_______.

A. nutrition                B. vitamins                C. vegetables            D. health

47. Rice, bread and potatoes do good to people’s health mainly because_______.

A. they make people fat                              B. there are lot of vitamins in them

C. they contain less amount of calories compared with steak and beef.

D. both B and C.

48. Why don’t some people like canned or frozen vegetables? Because______.

A. they think fresh vegetables contain less vitamins

B. they think fresh vegetables contain more vitamins than the canned or frozen ones

C. they don’t think the canned or frozen vegetables are fresh

D. they don’t think the canned or frozen vegetables taste as good as the fresh ones

49. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Many people know almost everything about nutrition.

B. Food such as rice, bread and potatoes make people fat.

C. vegetables grown in poor worn-out soil may have the same amount of vitamins as vegetables grown in rich soil.

D. extra vitamins provide less energy.

50. The point of the passage is that______.

A. the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soil

B. people make mistakes when talking about good diet

C. taking more vitamins than the body needs doesn’t make it function better

D. vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a large amount of vitamins

         Men usually want to have their own way. They want to think and act as they like. No one, however, can have his own way all the time. A man cannot live in society without considering the interests(利益) of others as well as his own interests. “Society” means a group of people with the same laws and the same way of life. People in society may make their own decisions, but these decisions ought not to be unjust(不公平) or harmful to others. One man’s decisions may so easily harm another person. For example, a motorist may be in a hurry to get to a friend’s house. He sets out, driving at full speed like a competitor in a motor race. There are other vehicles and also pedestrians (行人) on the road. Suddenly there is a crash. There are screams and confusion. One careless motorist has struck another car. The collision(碰撞) has injured two of the passengers and killed the third. Too many road accidents happen through the thoughtlessness of selfish drivers.

We have governments, the police and the law courts to prevent or to punish such criminal acts. But in addition, all men ought to observe certain rules of conduct. Every man ought to behave with consideration for other men. He ought not to steal, cheat, or destroy the property(财产) of others. There is no place of this sort of behavior in a civilized society.

51. A man cannot have his own way all the time because________.

A. he may have no interest in other people

B. he has to share the same interest with the people in the same society

C. his decisions are always unjust            D. his decisions always harm other people

52. According to the passage, people in a civilized society should usually______.

A. be honest to each other                         B. be cautions in doing everything

C. behave in a responsible way                 D. punish criminal acts

53. The purpose of this passage is to_________.

A. tell people how to behave in society  

B. illustrate the importance of laws

C. teach people how to prevent criminal acts

D. persuade people not to make their own decisions

54. It is implied that there will be fewer road accidents if_______.

A. the drivers are more considerate(体贴的) of other people

B. there are fewer cars or walkers in the street

C. the motorists are not always in a hurry

D. the passengers are calm but not confused before the accidents

55. We can draw a conclusion that_______.

A. the government should contribute more efforts

B. the criminals should be more severely punished

C. man should be more strict with himself

D. man should have more and more similar interests
