The early trains were impractical curiosities, and for a long time th

18、e railroad companies met with troublesome mechanical problems. The most serious ones were the construction of rails able to bear the toad, and the development of a safe, effective stopping system. Once these were solved, the railroad was established as the best means of land transportation. By 1860

19、there were thousands of. miles of railroads crossing the eastern mountain ranges and reaching westward to the Mississippi. There were also regional southern and western lines.The high point in railroad building came with the construction of the first transcontinental sys tem. In 1862 congress author

20、ized two western railroad companies to build lines from Nebraska west ward and from California eastward to a meeting point, so as to complete a transcontinental crossing linking the Atlantic seaboard with the Pacific. The Government helped the railroads generously with money and land. Actual work on

21、 this project began four years later. The Central Pacific Company, starting from California, used Chinese labor, while the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish labourers. The two groups worked at remarkable speed, each trying to cover a greater distance than the other. In 1869 they met at a place c

22、alled Promontory in what is now the state of Utah. Many visitors came there for the great occasion. There were joyous celebrations all over the country, with parades and the ringing of church bells to honour the great achievement.The railroad was very important in encouraging westward movement. It a

23、lso helped build up industry and farming by moving raw materials and by distributing products rapidly to distant markets.

The hot liquid rock piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island ros

28、e up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. O

29、nly plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch, In sects couldn t stay until ther

30、e were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.46 The passage centers on _.（A）how an undersea volcano broke out（B） how an island rose up in the sea（C） how soil was formed on a new island（D）how life began on a volcano-produced island47 According to the passage,

You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work prop

34、erly. You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work. So sleep is quite simply the time when the cells of your body recover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.One of the things we all know about sleep is

35、that we are unconscious in sleep. We do not know what is going on around us. But that doesnt mean the body stops all activity. The important organs continue to work during sleep, but most of the body functions are slowed down.For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The heart beats more

36、 slowly, and the blood pressure is lower. Our arms and legs become limp(柔软的) and muscles are at rest. It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake. So sleep does for us what the most quiet rest can not do.Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep, whi

37、ch is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers. And even though you are unconscious, many of your reflexes(习惯性思维) still work. For instance, if someone tickles(使觉得痒) your foot, you will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead. You do these things without knowi

38、ng it.51 If you dont have as much sleep as your body needs, you will _.（A）work properly（B） think clearly（C） keep your attention on your work（D）easily get angry52 The cells of your body develop supplies of energy _.（A）when you are asleep（B） when you recover from your work of the day（C） in the next pe

40、 same effect（C） that you will never need any rest（D）that you will need the most quiet rest55 When you are sleeping, _.（A）all of you reflexes stop working（B） most of your reflexes stop working（C） many of your reflexes still work（D）all of your reflexes still work55 The first European stock exchange wa

41、s established in Antwerp, Belgium(比利时) , in 1531. There were no stock exchanges in England until the 1700 s. A man wishing to buy or sell shares of stock had to find a broker(agents) to transact his business for him. In London, he usually went to a coffee house, because brokers often gathered there.

42、 In 1773, the brokers of London formed a stock exchange.In New York City, brokers met under an old button-wood tree on Wall Street. They organized the New York Stock Exchange in 1792. The American Stock Exchange, second largest in the United States, was formerly called the Curb Exchange because of i

43、ts origin on the streets of New York City.A stock exchange is a market place where member brokers buy and sell stocks and bonds (债券) of American and foreign businesses on behalf of the public. A stock exchange provides a market place for stocks and bonds in the same way a board of trade does for com
