Animals have been
25、 killed for their fur and feathers,for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger. Why should people c
26、are? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers kille
27、d large numbers of hawks(鹰 ), the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied(繁殖 ) quickly. Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise
28、money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing. 56. Ani

31、ling all rats and mice may cause some new problems. D. People must not kill any animal or plant. 59.

32、e killed any more. C. The number of some animals in danger will increase. D. Animals in danger will be kept away from people. 60. What is the best title for the passage? A. Save the Animals B. Useful Animals C. Laws for Animals D. Animals in Danger B About ten men in every hundred suffer from color
33、blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are
34、all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed. In certain jobs, color blindness can be dangerous. For example, when fighting in the jungle at night, soldiers use ver
35、y lights or fires to signal each other. A green light may mean “ advance” and a red light may mean “ Dange! Keep back!” You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small t
36、hings called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the differences between colors. There are also millions of “roads” , but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but not colors. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes like blue but do not l
37、ike yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings have favorite colors. Blue is often popular because it is the color of the cool sky and sea. Green is a peaceful color which makes us think of wide fields and forests. Yellow is the cheerful color o
38、f the sun. On the other hand, red is the color of blood and fire. It makes some people think of accidents, danger and bloodshed. Black is the color of night. In the dark we cannot see what is around us, so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a color. Perhaps that is why i
39、t is often the color of mourning(哀悼 ). Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the roads we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us. 61. Which of the following is TRUE? A
40、. More men suffer from color blindness than women. B. More women are affected by color blindness than men. C. No women suffer from color blindness. D.

41、here are fewer color-blind women. C. Women are fond of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but more careful. 63. What is the best title for the passage? A. Good Driver B. Cones C. Invisible Colors D. Color Blindness C Our surroundings are being polluted faster than nature and mans present efforts
42、cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials. What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man by his desire for a modern way of life. We make “
43、 increasing industrialization” our chief aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modern society. But as our tech
44、nological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem. Isnt it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “ Ive some good news and some
45、 bad news. The good news is that were making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that were lost and dont know where were going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society. 64.Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted mainly because_. A. the population of the world is decreasing fast B. people use too many man-made materials C. we have more and more industry D. we are producing more cars, trucks and buses 65.
