Passage One

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out(伸出手) and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth(光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For

example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.

All children soon learn what “Don't touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to(习惯于) them!

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see! 61. By touching things,_______ . A、you will have a strange feeling

B、Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food. C、People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up. D、Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums. 65. Which of the following can be the best title of the story? A、Touching by Feeling B、To See or to Feel

C、To See Better—Touch D、Ways of Feeling

Passage Two

The old Volkswagen Beetle—“The Bug”—is making a comeback. People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don't own them are paying high prices when they can find one for sale. It's more remarkable when you realize that VW doesn't even make them anymore!

A spokesman for Volkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977. That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW estimates that about four million of them are still running…and running…and running.

Used car dealers say they can't keep “Bugs” on their lots these days. They feel it's because these cars have a history of reliable, inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.

But all hasn't been smooth going for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor. And since it travels very close to the ground, larger cars tend to splash it with winter's snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.

66. American people like to have a “Bug”_______ . A、because it is no more in production B、because it is reliable and energy-saving C、because it is remarkable and easy to drive D、because it is safe

67. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A、“Bugs” are more popular than other cars in America. B、“Bugs” are now produced in small quantity. C、Americans feel proud if they can own a “Bug”.

D、No “Bugs” have been shipped to America since 1977.

68. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the word “them” refers to_______ . A、a car by the name of Volkswagen Beetle B、heavier cars imported from other countries C、people in the safety field

D、people from National Highway Traffic Administration 69. What is the problem with a “Bug”? A、It does not go smoothly.

B、It is not comfortable in winter. C、It splashes mud and water. D、It travels too slowly.

70. What can be concluded according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration? A、They are going to investigate into “Bugs” problem. B、Some of the “Bugs” are not usable any more. C、It is defenseless when it is hit by a heavy car. D、The “Bugs” is good for use.

Passage Three

There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different part of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.

One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion.

The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.

The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing.

Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.

World-wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.
