The city of Venice, in Italy, is one of a kind. It is built on more than 120 islands, just off the coast (=land next to the sea). The islands are small and close together. The waterways between them are used as streets. They are called canals.
In this watery world, people use boats to get from place to place. Gondolas, small boats that are moved with one oar(桨), were once the only boats used in the canals. But today motorboats make getting around faster, there are still lots of gondolas, though. Many tourists(游人) go to Venice all the year round. And they like to ride in the old-style(老式) boats.
If you aren't going far in this city, it's easier to go on foot. There are hundreds of narrow footpaths. About 400 low bridges connect the footpaths and islands. But these bridges cause problems for the boaters. When the sea tide(潮) is high, the canal water rises. People in the boats must “duck” to fit under bridges.
56、Having read the first paragraph, we can come to the conclusion that ________.
A、all the buildings in Venice are held up on seawater
B、there's no land in the city of Venice
C、the streets in Venice are all lined with waterways
D、nobody can be seen walking in the streets of Venice

A、All the Venetian people like to ride in the old-style boats.
B、Neither cars nor buses are used in Venice.
C、Citizens in Venice don't walk much.
D、Gondola rides are much more expensive.
59、Which of the following sentences leads us to the conclusion that travelling around Venice by gondola can he slow?
A、Gondolas, small boats that are moved with one oar, were once the only boats used in the canals.
B、But today motorboats make getting around faster.

Today there are about 7,000,000 Americans in colleges and universities. In the
United States nearly half of the population are young people under twenty-five.
Many of them will soon be in charge of (管理) the country. So their ideas are important to everyone in the country , and it is necessary for older people to understand what young people think and how they feel.

Mr Lewis was a dance teacher. He was a nice man and a lot of students came to his classes every week. One year he moved to a new town, and was soon teaching a lot of students in the dance school there, but then he decided to move again to a big city because he would have more work to do there.
A girl had attended(参加) all his classes. When she heard that he was going to leave, she said to him,“I am told a new teacher will come to take your place, but I'm sure he won't be as good as you are.”

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone.“The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows Marketing Manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says,“We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near- but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several compete strangers simultaneously(同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn't know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they're space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
71、How do you understand ‘Point 1 - The telephone creates the need to communicate,…’? __________
A、People don't communicate without telephone.
B、People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C、People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D、People communicate more because of more traffic.
72、Which of the following best shows people's attitude towards mobile phones?_________
A、Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
B、Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.
C、Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D、Mobile phones are part of people's life.
73、Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people's life?
a. Point 1 b. Point 2 c. Point 3 d. Point 4 e. Point 5.
A、c,d B、a,e C、a,c D、b,e
74、It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through ____________.
A、the TV screen B、a fax machine
C、the phone line hooked up to the computer D、a microphone
75、The best heading for the passage is ____________.
A、Phone Power B、Kinds of Phone C、How to Use Phones D、Advantage of Phones
