However, the finest and most sought-after violins were handcrafted by an Italian violin maker over 300 years ago. The craftsmans name was Antonius Stradivarius, and any one of his
25、violins is worth over $100,000 today. Stradivarius, who was born in 1644, began his career as a violin makers apprentice(徒弟). Working on his own by 1680, he became determined to make instruments that could reproduce tones(音调) as rich as those produced by the human voice. He tested several shapes and
26、 styles for his violins until he arrived at a design that pleased him. During his career he crafted over 1,100 violins. Those still in existence have become treasured possessions. Unfortunately, the secret of Stradivarius violin died with its maker. During his lifetime Stradivarius kept his notes sa
27、fely hidden; even his two sons, who helped him in his workshop, did not know all the steps in each violins construction. Through the years, many experts have offered possible explanations for the unique tone of a “Strad”. Some say it is the instruments shape and the combination of its parts. Others
28、suggest that the secret lies in the special wood, which Stradvarius obtained from native Italian trees. The most widely accepted suppositions is that the beautiful tone of the violins is created by the liquid that the old master used to coat his instruments. Chemists have studied and reproduced the
29、liquid as closely as possible, and it has improved the sound of many violins. Still, no violin maker has been able to fully reproduce the tone of Stradivarius violins. 56.According to the passage, Stradivarius made _. A.hundreds of violins every day B.over 100,000 violins during his career C.only on
30、e violin D.more than a thousand violins during his career 57.We can conclude from the passage that Stradivarius _. A.notes were found by chemists B.notes were never found C.secrets were learned when he was an apprentice D.notes were left to his sons 58.In this passage the word rich means _. A.wealth
31、y B.highly amusing C.full and pleasant D.high and sharp 59.Another good title for the passage would be _. A.How to Make Violins B.Expensive Violins C.What was Stradivarius Secret D.Italian Violin Makers B The following notice is posted in a bus terminal(终点站). New York City - Brennan Timetable -Buses

C The camel family is larger and more varied than most people realize. It includes some animals that we normally th
37、ink of as camels and some that we dont usually recognize as camels. Everybody knows about the one-humped camel, or dromedary. And many people have heard of the Bactrian camel, which has two humps. But did you know that IIamas and some other animals without humps are also camels? Camels have played a
38、n important role in the lives of many people for at least four thousand years. And this is mainly because camels have the ability to live in places where other large animals could never survive. In huge deserts like the Sahara, the climate can be too hot and dry for stretch for hundreds of miles, an
39、d animals may have to walk for days to reach water. The deserts of Africa and Arabia are not the only places where camels live. Desert winds often blow sand into the air. To protect their eyes, camels have long eyelashes that catch most of the sand. If sand gets onto an eye, a camel has a third eyel
40、id to get it out. Like a windshield wiper on a car, this extra eyelid moves from side to side and wipes the sand away. The eyelid is very thin, so a camel can see through it. In sandstorms camels often close their third eyelid and keep walking. You might say that a camel can find its way through a s
41、andstorm with its eyes closed. 64.We understand from the passage that _. A.the variety of camels is limited B.camels refer to those animals with one or two humps C.the camel family includes a large variety of species without humps D.some animals without humps are also included in the camel family 65
42、.Camels have been important to human beings for long in history mainly because _. A.they can go without water for a long time. B.they have special structure in their eyes C.they can stand the heat and dryness of the desert D.they can carry heavy loads 66.Camels can protect their eyes from the desert
43、 wind because _. A.their eyes are specially structured B.they have two eyelids C.their eyelids are specially long D.their third eyelid functions as a windshield wiper D There is a range of activities which require movements of about one to four or five miles. These might be leisure activities, such
44、as moving from home to swimming pool, tennis club, the theater or other cultural centers, or to a secondary or more advanced school; or they might be movements related with work and shopping in the central areas of cities. The use of cars which are able to carry five people at 80 mph for satisfying
45、these needs is wasteful of space and most productive of disturbance to other road users. The use of the bicycle, or some more modern derivative of it, is probably worth more consideration than has recently been given to it. The bicycle itself is a remarkably efficient and simple device for using hum
46、an muscular energy for transportation. In pure energy terms, it is four to five times as efficient as walking, even though human walking itself is twice as efficient as the movement of effective animals such as dogs. It is still widely used, not only in some developing countries where bicycles are m
47、ajor means of people and goods, but in a few richer town such as Amsterdam in Holland and Cambridge in England. The bicycle neither gives enough protection from the weather nor is very suitable for carrying goods, and demands considerable muscular work to make progress against wind or uphill. It als
48、o offers its rider no protection against collisions(碰撞) with other vehicles. All these difficulties could, however, be greatly got rid of with relatively small changes in design. The whole machine could enclosed in a plastic bubble(气泡) which would provide some protection in case of accidents. It wou
49、ld be easy to add a small petrol or electric motor. A wide variety of designs would be possible. As in rowing, we might employ the power of the arms or the general body musculature, as well as those of the legs; more muscular exercise would be good for the health of many people in cities, and a wide use of bicycle like muscle-powered vehicles would be a useful way to ensure this. It could also
