25、D 中，选出最佳选项，并在答题 卡上将该项涂黑。 A Have you ever thought of what the polluted air might be doing to your health? An oxygen bar in New York is giving its customers a clean choice- 20 minutes of 99 percent pure oxygen for $16.This oxgygen treatment, the owner of the bar says, will purify your body, and make y
26、ou healthier and happier. Doctors, however, do not agree to this treatment, and they call it a shame. Pure oxgygen, they say, does nothing to purify your body. On the contrary, it can be harmful- particularly for people with serious lung disease. Why do we breathe? We breathe for two reasons. First,
27、 our bodies “tell” us to take in oxygen. Second, we need to breathe out carbon dioxide. But people with serious lung disease often lose the ability to respond to the carbon dioxide “signal”. Their bodies only tell them to breathe when they need oxygen. Give them pure oxygen and their bodies think th
28、ey dont need to breathe. So they dont. Their cells fill up with carbon dioxide, which wont cause any harm. Even if you dont have a serious lung problems, breathing pure oxygen for a long period of time can be dangerous. After 24 hours, it can cause fluid to build up in your lungs, leading to lung co
29、llapse. But to breathe pure oxygen for a short period of time, say 20 minutes at an oxygen bar, perhaps wont cause any harm. And the trend is on, with oxygen bars opening one after another in New York and other big cities in the world. Many people, especially young people, go there to purify their b
30、odies. You must be at least 16 to get in. After knowing what some doctors say about oxygen bars, would you still want to go there to have such a dangerous treatment? 56.Which of the following statements about oxygen bars is TRUE according to the passage? A.They are disappearing B.Doctors say that th
31、e oxygen treatment can purify your bodies C.Oxygen bar owners say that oxygen treatment is good to your health D.Customers say that the price for the oxygen treatment is too high 57.Why will people with serious lung illness die if breathing pure oxygen? A.Because the air they breathe is polluted. B.
32、Because pure oxygen burns their lungs. C.Because their hearts will collapse. D.Because they no longer breathe out carbon dioxide. 58.What makes oxygen bars popular in big cities according to the passage? A. People like to follow a new trend. B. Everything popular in New York is followed by other cit
33、ies. C. Air in big cities is polluted. D. Carbon dioxide is damaging our health. 59. What does the writer think about oxygen bars? A. They are harmful B. They are useful C. They have the right to exist. D. They are good to patients. B How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more
34、when we are in early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are satisfied with ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the demands of fashion. Most fashion magazines or TV advertisement try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain ma
35、nner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence, or a belief in ourselves, and deal with every situation confidently. Changing fashion, of course, does not refer just to dress. A barber today does not cut a babys hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not m
36、ake up in the same way as their mothers aadn grandmothers did. The advertisement show us the latest fashionable styles and we are often under pressure to followed his example. What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the liking of an important person can f
37、orm a fashion. Take hats, for example, in cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: most Americans followed his example. There is a
38、lso a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and American, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle(脚踝)length. Then they got shorter and shorter until the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, shirts became longer again. Today, society is m
39、uch freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction agai
40、nst the increasinglly expensive fashions of the top fashion houses. 60.What does “ fashion” mean in the passage? A.时尚 B.时装 C. 时代 D.形式 61.We worry most about our appearance at the age between_ A. 15-20 B. 21-25 C.26-30 D.31-35 62.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A.
41、 Most people follow closely the fashion in the magazine. B. If we want to impress people and get a job through the intervie, we should ignore fashion. C. Short skirts used to be in fashion before World War II D. You do not need courage to refuse to follow the fashion. 63.In the writers opinion, thin
42、gs in the following can be considered as a fashion in China except_. A. carrying a mobile phone B. learning through Internet C.wearing hair long like a certain pop star D. buying new shoes once in a while 64.We are often under pressure to follow the fashion mainly because of _ A.TV B. magazines C. j
43、obs D. some people we know very well C The first scientists to visit Mars are not going to be flesh and blood humans, but metal robots. This summer, NASA(美国国家宇航局) plans to start the Mars Exploration Rovers Mission, （MER, 火星漫游者探险任务） sending a pair of robotic twins into space. If all goes well, the si
44、x-wheeled rovers will be rolling around the Red Planet sometime in January 2004. NASA first sent a rover to Mars in 1997. It proved that the technology could get to, and land on the planet. This time, the MER robot will act as a scientist and look for any signs of water- past or present. Both MER ro
45、bots will be delivered into space by a rocket. Wrapped in a landing shell, an airbag will protect them when the shell hits the planets surface. Once it lands, the shell will open, and the rovers will come out. “What we tried to do was take everything youd find in a field scientists bag on Earth and
46、make a robotic scientist for Mars,” said Steven Squyres, a NASA scientist. Each carries nine cameras, which will send pictures of Mars back down to Earth. One camera sits on the tip of each robots arm. This arm is the same size as that of a human adult. Every time the robot moves, the cameras feed i
47、mages to its computer. The computer then decides whether an obstacles can be dealt with or should be avoided. And if it gets in a real trouble, the rover phones home for instructions. “The rule is: Dont go over anything larger than your wheels, ”said Squyres. The wheels on each of the 180kg rovers stand at about 25cm tall. And they move slowly around 5cm per second. The MER robots are able to dig, in any rock, holes about 45mm wide and 5mm deep. This will allow researche
