28、 actress（C） a musician（D）a director59 Television, or TV, the modern wonder of electronics (电子学), brings the world into your own home in sight and sound. The name TELEVISION comes from the Greek work TELL, meaning “far“, and the Latin word VIDERE, meaning “to see“. Thus, television means “seeing far“
29、. Sometimes television is referred to as VIDEO, from a Latin word meaning “I see“. In Great Britain, the popular word for television is “telly“.Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio sound is changed into ELECTROMAG NETIC(电磁波)waves which are sent through the air. In TV, both sound
30、and light are changed into electromagnetic waves. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the year 1920s, inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models. Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become an industry.As an ind
31、ustry ,TV provides jobs for hundreds of thousands who make TV sets and broadcasting equipment. It also provides work for actors, technicians, and others who put on programs. As an art, television brings the theater and other cultural(文化的)events into the home.59 From which languages is the word “tele
32、vision“ taken?（A）Greek and English.（B） Latin and English.（C） Greek and Latin.（D）English and Japanese.60 How is television different from radio?（A）Sound is changed into electromagnetic waves.（B） Light is changed into electromagnetic waves.（C） Both sound and light are changed into electromagnetic wave
33、s.（D）Either sound or light is changed into electromagnetic waves.61 What is the effect of television on the film and theatre industry?（A）It brings the world into the home.（B） It brings foreign languages such as Latin and English into the home.（C） It brings work of actors, technicians and other peopl
34、e into the home.（D）It brings the theatre and other cultural events into the home.62 Every animal is a living radiator(散热器) - heat formed in its cells and given-off through its skin. Warm-blooded animals keep a normal temperature by continuously replacing lost surface heat; smaller animals, which hav
35、e more skin for every ounce (盎司)of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because small animals burn fuels faster, scientists say they live faster. The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen (氧气). A chicken, for example, uses one-h
36、alf cubic (立方的) centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the mouse is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded animal, the humming-bird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant. There
37、 is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A bird that weighs only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not be able to eat fast enough to supply itself more fuel.62 The passage says that every animal is a living radiator because it _
38、.（A）produces heat in its body cells（B） burns fuel to produce heat（C） sends out heat through its skin（D）takes in oxygen for burning fuel63 Small animals are said to live faster than big ones because they _.（A）have more skin for their weigh（B） replace lost heat faster（C） burn fuel faster than big ones
39、（D）keep a higher body temperature64 The amount of oxygen an animal uses determine _.（A）the heat the body produces（B） the food it eats（C） its size and shape（D）the length of time it lives65 What can we infer from the text?（A）There is no limit as to how large a warm-blooded animal can be.（B） The hummin
40、g-bird lives faster than any other warm-blooded animals.（C） Small animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones.（D）The humming-bird is the smallest of the warm-blooded animals.66 Signs in Chinese will be set up in public areas, such as airports, to help Chinese travelers, the Italian
41、Government announced in late February,2005. Now many European countries are expected to follow this example.Despite the different language, traveling across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had t
42、o wait for weeks to apply for different visas(签证) from the two countries. You also needed a calculator(计算器) because both countries had different money.Today, with a Schengen Visa issued(签发)by any member countries, you Can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most
43、of the EU, there is now just one type of money called the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and already makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid (有效的) in the other countries. And you can use your mobile phone ever
44、ywhere.All the countries in the continent are melting(融于) into a united Europe under the EU. For Europeans and visitors the result is that it is more convenient to travel back and forth between the different countries.66 What does the writer mean by saying“ Now many European countries ,are expected

47、five years ago?（A）Because you neednt drive a car on your own.（B） Because you can use a calculator to exchange money.（C） Because applying for different visas is much simpler.（D）Because one visa is good enough for a number of countries.69 What is the purpose of writing the text?（A）To praise the touris
48、m policy of the EU.（B） To introduce tourism conditions in the EU.（C） To encourage us to travel across Europe.（D）To suggest the world be melted into one like the EU.70 An old Indian story says that the game of chess was invented by Sissa Ben, prime Minister of King Shirham. As soon as the invention w
49、as finished he gave it to the king, who was glad and asked him what he would like to have in return. To the kings surprise, what Sissa wanted seemed very little. “Your Majesty,“ said the minister, kneeling(跪下) in front of the king. “I want nothing but some wheat. Please put a grain of wheat on the first square of the chessboard, two on the second, four on the third, eight on the fourth, and so on, doubling the number for each following square, give me
