When it was 31 to make a turn, two passengersa 32 of young loverswere so attracted by the beautiful scene
18、ry that they 33 a stop to get down. They were left behind and the bus went 34 . Suddenly they heard a loud boom 35 of the road. It was a huge rock rolling down in the landslide that hit the bus and fell with it into a deep valley. The lovers were greatly 36 by the news that no passengers on board 37
19、 . When they calmed down they 38 and expressed their feelings in a few words.The above story was told by a guide when we were riding a tourist 39 to a scenic mountain. He asked us to guess what the lovers said 40 after the disaster that they had narrowly escaped. Often we read reports about traffic
20、accidents, among which there were 41 ones who missed the bus and 42 the disaster. Those people usually said with a sigh of 43 “Fortunately I was not on board.” On our bus the passengers 44 to the guide were various.But the answer was quite out of our expectation. “If we hadnt got down and 45 the bus
21、, it would have 46 the dangerous spot and all the passengers would have survived.”The story passed from person to person as a sort of wit (智慧 ) test, but I think 47 . It actually serves as a(n) 48 of a persons mind. I pay my heart-felt respect to the couple who, instead of feeling lucky, 49 themselv

Many people are put off by the idea of “ch
26、emicals in food.” The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas. Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would
27、find nothing to eat.The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made in gredients are to be avoided. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory-m
28、ade substances increase the nutritional value of food. Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange. Like “chemical”, “man-made” doesnt necessarily mean “not fit to eat”.Food additives are used for
29、 many reasons. We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better. Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilize, thicken, harden, keep wet, keep firm, or improve the appearance of their products. Additives can make food more convenient o
30、r nutritious, give it a longer shelf life, and make it more attractive to the consumer, thus increasing the sales and profits of the producers.Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument. Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe; some
31、substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market. Many people feel theres a risk of eating food to which anything has been added. But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives will go through strict testing before they
32、 can be placed on the market. For most people, the chances of developing serious side effects (副作用) from the long-term use of presently approved (批准) food additives are very small.51From the passage we can learn that .A. natural foods are much safer than man-made onesB. it is right to refuse chemica
33、ls in foodC. food additives are harmful to our healthD. all foods have chemical substances52Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Food additives can improve the quality of foods in many ways.B. To ensure food safety, the FDA will stop food additives.C. Foods free of additives ca
34、n keep a much longer shelf life.D. Foods with more additives have higher nutritional value.53We can infer from the regulation to the food additives by the FDA that .A. new additives will be approved more easily than beforeB. food with common-used additives will be taken off the marketC. food additiv

All you have to do is send a few comets (彗星) in the direction of Earth, and its orbit will be changed too. O
45、ur world will then be sent spinning into a safer, colder part of the solar system.This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of U. S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the us
46、eful lifetime of our planeteffectively doubling its working life.The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth.“Earths orb
47、ital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun,” Laughlin said.Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated.In the short term
