The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights， radios， televisions， and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure， people move about in dim candlelight， cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them， and food goes bad in silent refrigerators.
Yet people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has in fact been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.
All living cells send out tiny pulses（脉冲） of electricity. As the heart beats， it sends out pulses that can be measured and recorded on the surface of the body. When the pulses are recorded， they form an electrocardiogram（心电图）， which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain， too， sends out brain waves of electricity， which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living cells are very small — often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals， certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators（发电机） that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together， the effect can be astonishing.
The electric eel（电鳗） is an amazing living storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it lives. （An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.） As many as four- fifths of all the cells in the electric eel’s body are specialized for generating electricity， and the strength of the shock it can deliver equals the length of its body.
59.What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Electric eels are potentially dangerous.
B. Biology and electricity appear to be closely related.
C. People would be at a loss without electricity.
D. Scientists still have much to discover about electricity.
60.The author mentions all of the following as results of a power failure EXCEPT ______.
A. refrigerated food items may go bad
B. traffic lights do not work
C. people must rely on candlelight
D. elevators do not function
61.Why does the author mention electric eels?
A. To warn the reader to stay away from them.
B. To compare their voltage to that used in houses.
C. To give an example of a living electrical generator.
D. To describe a new source of electrical power.
62.How many volts of electricity can an electric eel send out?
A. 1，000. B. 800. C. 200. D. 120.
63.It can be inferred from the passage that the longer an eel is， the ______.
A. more beneficial it will be to science
B. more powerful its electrical charge will be
C. easier it will be to find
D. tougher it will be to eat
C
The opera house in Santa Fe， New Mexico， is one of the most beautiful in the United States. It is small and open， with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountains is one of the best in the country. It may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in the summer， and because Santa Fe is a very small city.
One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday， and they work hard to become well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras （管弦乐队） and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe， which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in the summer.
The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country， and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera. Still， most of the audience do come to Santa Fe and other nearby cities， and all the seats in the theater are sold out for every show.
There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera， and that is the cold weather. Because the theater is open， performances can’t start before it gets dark at nine o’clock in the evening， and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air， but because the operas are good， these people come back again — wearing warm coats.
64.This passage mainly introduces ______.
A. a mountain city B. young singers
C. an opera house D. the tourism in Santa Fe
65.Young singers come to perform in Santa Fe Opera because ______.
A. the music quality is high
B. they enjoy the climate there
C. they want to be famous

66.It seems surprising that Santa Fe becomes famous because ______.
A. it is only a very small place
B. it is between the mountains and desert
C. all the seats are sold out for every show
D. musicians there are from the best orchestras
67.From the passage， we can learn that ______.
A. the opera house is open without any roofs
B. musicians always spend vacations in Santa Fe
C. the government advertises to attract more musicians
D. performances are held in Santa Fe only after sunset
D

In Britain today， is it possible to tell a person’s class just by looking at him? Physical details alone tell us about health， diet and type of work done. A hundred years ago the working class very often looked unhealthy， small and were either too thin or too fat. The upper classes were often tall， sporting types who were used to a good diet and looked healthy. Today living and working conditions have improved， and such descriptions would no longer be so true. People are taller now than a hundred years ago. Everyone in Britain today is able to have free medicine， a good diet， acceptable working conditions and enough rest and leisure.
The clothes people choose to wear， however， do provide information about their backgrounds. Expensive clothes look expensive and show their wearer is rich. Clothes can provide other clues(线索) as well. The upper classes appear to be less interested in fashion and wear good quality clothes in non-bright colors， made of natural material like wool， leather or cotton. Lower working class people often choose clothes in bright colors， made of man-made material. A sociological(社会学的) explanation for this would be that color and interest are missing from their lives， and therefore any opportunity to introduce this is taken.
Clothes are available at a price within most people’s reach. New clothes make the wearer feel good， and show some degree of wealth to the outside world. Today it is the younger people who spend most money on clothes. Fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich. Young people from all social classes spend a lot of money on clothes. Some new fashions are started by the lower working class people who want to look different and feel important. They want people to look at them.
72.In the past， one’s appearance could NOT tell us about his ______.
A. health B. diet
C. occupation D. habit
73.The clothes people choose to wear can tell us about their ______.
A. education B. richness
C. backgrounds D. hobby
74.The lower working class people start the new fashion because ______.
A. they want to draw the attention of other people
B. they want to look different and healthy
C. they want to show their wealth
D. they want to show their taste
75.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Expensive clothes look expensive and show the wearer is rich.
B. The lower working class people prefer clothes in bright colors because they lack colors in their lives.
C. Today， it is still the upper class people who spend most money on clothes.
D. Today， fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich.
