26、） unlucky （ D） unfortunately 60 It was 7:00 am in Kyoto, Japan, and the taxi company had just called a second time to say they couldnt find my house. Once again I spelt out directions even a blind person could follow. I glanced impatiently at my watch, and waited. Only two hours remained until my fl

27、ight left-and it was an hour-and-a-haft trip to the airport. Outside, heavy rains were pouring down. My house was so far north in the city that buses pass only three times a day. The telephone rang again. “Terribly sorry,“ began the man at the taxi company. Then I realized that the taxi company, flo

28、oded with calls, could only offer in-city runs. I had heard this happens when the weather gets bad. I shouted into the phone that I had a plane to catch and I would meet the taxi outside my house. Standing in the wind-driven rain, I looked up and down the road. No taxi. A car went by, the driver and

29、 passenger staring at the crazy foreigner in the downpour. Finally a white car appeared and pulled to a stop. A young man throw open the door, waving for me to get in. Shaking with cold and anger, I climbed in. In the most polite Japanese, the man said he was called Mike, with whom I had spoken thre

30、e times that morning. He had left his post in the office and raced here in his personal car. He apologized again, but did not explain why a taxi would not pick me up. Delivering me straight to the air- port, he refused the 2,000 yen I pressed into his hand. A few hours later, as the storm-delayed 72

31、7 took off, I opened the newspaper. On the second page my eyes caught the headline of a short article: Taxi Strike Begins This Morning in Kyoto. 60 Why did the writer call a taxi early in the morning? （ A） He wanted to catch a plane. （ B） He was unable to find the airport. （ C） There were few taxis

32、in town. （ D） All the buses stopped because of the rain. 61 What was the reason for the taxi company not being able to pick him up? （ A） More people were riding in taxis on rainy days. （ B） The writer didnt give the correct address. （ C） The taxi drivers refused to work. （ D） The taxi drivers didnt

33、like to drive long distance. 62 The writer got to the airport _. （ A） by riding in Mikes car from the taxi company （ B） with the help of Mike from the post office （ C） by getting a lift in a passing car （ D） with the help of a taxi driver sent by his company 63 We can learn from the text that the dr

34、iver was _. （ A） quick-minded at taking actions （ B） a self-employed driver （ C） unfamiliar with the read （ D） warm-hearted toward people 64 The banana “tree“ is actually not a real tree. This is because there is no wood in the stem(树干 ) rising above the ground. The stem is made up of leaves growing

35、 very close together, one inside the other. The leaves spread out at the top of the stem and rise in the air. Banana plants need a lot of care and attention. They must be provided with water if the normal rainfall doesnt supply enough. The area around the plants must be kept free of weeds and grass.

36、 About nine or ten months after planting, a flower appears on the banana plant. This flower is at the end of a long stalk(茎 ), which grows from the base up through the center of the stem and turns downward when it comes out from the top. Small bananas form on this flower stalk as it grows down- ward

37、. Bananas really grow upside down. As the small bananas form on the stalk, they point down- ward, but as they grow they mm and point upward. Bananas are harvested while they are still green. Even when they are to be eaten where they are grown, they are not allowed to ripen on the plant. A banana tha

38、t turns yellow on the plant loses its taste. 64 The first paragraph in the text mainly discusses _. （ A） why the banana tree is not a tree （ B） how the banana grows on the stem （ C） why the stem of the tree is wood （ D） how the leaves grow out of the stem 65 The underlined word “it“ in the third par

39、agraph refers to _. （ A） the leaf （ B） the plant （ C） the stem （ D） the stalk 66 According to the text, where do bananas actually grow? （ A） On the flower stalk. （ B） On the leaves. （ C） On the stem. （ D） On the base of the stem. 67 From the text we know when bananas are harvested, they are _. （ A）

40、green and pointing downward （ B） yellow and pointing downward. （ C） green and pointing upward （ D） yellow and pointing upward 68 The research was done by a Dr. Griffiths in England. He compared the behavior of 15 regular gamblers with that of 15 non-regular gamblers before and after they gambled. Bo

41、th groups had increased heart rates during gambling because it was exciting. But the regular gamblers heart rates went down almost straight after the game. while the non-regulars remained excited and had increased heart rates for longer. When the heart beat increases, the body produces chemicals cal

42、led endorphins which make you feel good. Dr. Griffiths thinks that regular gamblers lose this good feeling soon after a game and need to play again quickly to regain the pleasure. He has also discovered that regular gamblers have different psychological reactions from those of non-regular gamblers.

43、In an experiment where regular and non-regular gamblers thought aloud while playing, regular gamblers had far more unreasonable thoughts. In their minds they turned losses into near-wins, Dr. Griffiths thinks that nearly winning gives the gambler a high in the way that a win would do. Based on Dr. G

44、riffiths research, doctors suggest that one way to help regular gamblers to give up gambling is to give them beta-blockers drugs that stop them getting a high in the first place. 68 Dr. Griffiths research helps you find out _. （ A） a way to help gamblers give up gambling （ B） a chemical to increase

45、gamblers heart beat （ C） which group of gamblers played the game better （ D） when gamblers should be given drugs 69 How did Dr. Griffiths discover the gamblers feelings when winning and losing? （ A） By examining the different chemicals in gamblers bodies. （ B） By testing the gamblers heart beat. （ C

46、） By asking the gamblers to discuss their ideas. （ D） By asking the gamblers to speak aloud their feelings. 70 The underlined words “a high“ (Line 4, Para. 3) probably mean “_“. （ A） a great expectation （ B） a reasonable thought （ C） a feeling of happiness （ D） an exciting idea 71 According to the t

47、ext, what do we know about non-regular gamblers.? （ A） Their bodies produce less endorphins during the game. （ B） They dont consider losses in a game as reasonable near-wins. （ C） Their bodies have no reaction to beta-blockers. （ D） They have faster heart rates during the game than regular gamblers.

48、 72 There are hundreds of TV channels in the United States. Americans get a lot of entertainment and information from TV. Most people probably watch it for entertainment only. For some people, however, TV is where they get the news of the day. But some new TV programs or shows put entertainment and

49、news together. This new kind of program in the United States is called “infotainment“, which means information (info-) and entertainment (-tainment). These kinds of programs use actors to act out news stories, making the news of the flay more interesting and exciting to people. The shows also use special effects. An example of infotainment is the show “Americas Most Wanted“. The producers of this pro- gram get stories from rea
