They started earlyin London. The headman was Auguste Gaudron, and the other two men wereTannar and Soon they heard the sea below
21、them. They were carrying the usualrope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of therope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. Sothey were able to change its weight. It was for use over the sea. They were alsocarrying some bags of sand.A
22、fter the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the airwas very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the mensbasket, and they could see more snow on the ground. There was also some snowon the balloon, and that made it very heavy. It began to go down t
23、owards theground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They triedto break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow andthey were still falling; so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of themfell on an icy lake below and made a black hole
24、in the ice.At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed toget away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. Theywere so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily butsafely. They had traveled 1,797 kilometres from Lo
25、ndon!71. Three men flew in a balloon _.A. for nearly 1,800 kilometresB. to another cityC. to visit PolandD. more than a century ago72.

26、r _.Athe temperature of the balloon began to fallB. they saw the sun go downC. they made a hole in the basket with their knivesD. they could see a black hole on the ground74.

28、handed. This also seems to be true inhistory. In 1799, scientists studied works(作品) of art made at different times from1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are righthanded,so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always beencommon through history. Today, only a
29、bout 10% to 15% of the worldspopulation is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists nowknow that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, theleft hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work withthings. T
30、his is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain(大脑).The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes worktogether, controls (控制) the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controlsthe right hand, is center for thinking and doing problems. These findings show
31、that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that lefthandednessis twice as common among artists than among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of lefthanded.Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed
32、because their main brain is damaged(损害) when they are born. However, thisdoesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reasonwhy people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handedfrom their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for rightha
33、ndedness,he/she may become either right or left handed according to thechance(偶然性)and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people nolonger think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, lefthandedchildren were made to use t
34、heir right hands like other children, but todaythey dont have to.76After studying works of are made at different times in history, the scientistsfound _.A. the art began from 1,500 B.C.B. the work of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are right-handedD. most people shown
35、in the works of art are left-handed77How many people in the world are left-handed now?A. Less than one sixthB. More than a half.C. about 40%D. The passage doesnt tell us.78What is the left hand for most people used to do?A. Its used to find or hold things.B. Its used to make a persons eyes work toge
36、ther.C. Its used to work with things.D. Its the center for thinking and doing problems.79According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to
37、use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reasons why people become left-handed.80The best title for this passage is_.A. Scientists New inventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which handD. Different Brains, Different HandsCWe spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With t
38、he car full of flowers wewere going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it.” My wife said at once, “ Well carry it home on the roof rack (车顶上的架子). Ive always wanted one like that.”What could I do? Ten minutes later I was 20 pounds p
39、oorer; and the cupboard was tied onto the roof racks. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square; quite heavy too.In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually politethat evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniturewas a good idea.Aft
40、er a time my wife said, “Theres a long line of cars behind, why dont theyovertake, I wonder?”In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hourtraffic. The police car stopped at our villag
41、e church. One of the officers came to us“Right, sir,” he said, “Do you need any more help?”I was a bit puzzled, “thanks, officer.” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just down the road.”He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well,”he said, laughing. “Its
42、a cupboard youve got there. We thought it wassomething else.”My wife began to laugh. Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. Ismiled at the officer, “Yes, its a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.81. In fact the husband _ the cupboard.A. would like very much to

46、ess is for everyone. You dont need to care about those people who havebeautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nicecars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses mayoften feel lonely and those who have cars want to walk on the country roads
47、attheir free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you arein trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you do study hard at yourlessons, your parents are always taking care of your life and your health; when youget success, your friends will say c
48、ongratulations to you; when you do somethingwrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do somethinggood to others, you will feel happy, too. All theses are your happiness.
