By everything that was reasonable, and there were plenty of such things before, he should have been very dead indeed. But he wasn’t. As the people in the hospital pointed out after they had examined him, he was only slightly hurt. Yet he had just fallen 150 feet down a hotel lift shaft（电梯通道）!Unknown to the man, two things had occurred which were to affect his life that day. On the thirteenth f1oor of the hotel, somebody had carelessly left the lift gate open. Down in the basement, a pipe had burst and, it had flooded the bottom of the lift shaft to a depth of two feet. Modern lifts have all sorts of fail-safe system to prevent accidents, but this was ancient equipment unreliable, slow, dangerous, and suitable material to recycle. The man had plenty of things to occupy his mind that morning. He had overslept. The hotel had forgotten to call him and now he was late for an important business appointment. He dressed quickly, shaved hurriedly, took hold of his briefcase and hurried off down the hotel corridor. Good! The life gate was open. The life must be there. He need not press the button and wait while the large, clumsy life made its way upwards. Without looking or thinking, he stepped out into space. The lift cage was, in fact, one floor above him on the fourteenth. The would which he had walked was a narrow space of not very fresh sir, ending 150 feet below in two feet of dirty water.The man fell, making his journey to the ground at a speed he had never dreamed of. Confused patterns, a rush of air, time enough to be afraid, split-second thoughts of death, then-crash! Perhaps this gave him the record for some sort of high-diving act. No doubt in future he always looked before he jumped. Certainly be learnt that this was no way to save time. The experts said that those two feet of water had saved his life.59．What do we learn about the man?A．He fell from the 13th floor. B．He was hit by an ambulance.C．He got caught in a serious flood.

B．The man oversleptC．The hotel forgot to call him D．Someone left the lift door openCA gadget which makes water out of air could become the greatest househo1d invention since the microwave. Using the same technology as a dehumidifier（除湿器）, the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get it from an unlimited source—the air.The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water indeveloped countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage.The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter（过滤器）and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water droplets. It can produce up to 1 2 liters a day. The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases. In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights. Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart. So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost￡800 when it goes on sale here in the spring. Its make Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly calculates that a litre of water cost around 20p to produce. Environmentalists state that half the world’s population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080. One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that won’t be much of a problem.63．What does the underlined word “it” refer do?A．Drinking water. B．Invention. C．Microwave. D．Water Mill.64．What do we learn about the machine?A．It works in the same way as microwaves.B．It is very expensive for families to afford.C．It absorbs steam and turns it into water.D．It helps to make the water clean to drink.65．What does the passage lead us to believe?A．The cost of water will go up. B．Bottled water will disappear sooner.C．The machine is energy saving. D．The machine will be popular worldwide.66．What’s the best title for the passage?A．A New Way to Solve Water Problem. B．A Machine to Make Water out of Air.C．A Dehumidifier to Produce Water. D．An Absolutely New InventionDEvery profession, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary. Its function is partly to name things or processes which can not be described in ordinary English. Such special terms are necessary in technical discussion of any kind. Being universally understood by the specialists of the particular science or art,these terms have the exactness of a mathematical formula（公式）．Besides，they save time, for it is much more convenient to name a process than to describe it．Different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts and other professions, like farming and fishery, hat have occupied great numbers of men in the past, the technical vocabulary is very old. It consists largely of native words, or borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fibre of our language. As a consequence, though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound; and more generally understood，than most other technicalities.Yet every profession still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain extremely unfamiliar, even to educated speech. And the amount has been much increased in the last fifty years. New terms are invented with the greatest freedom, and abandoned unconcernedly when they have served their turn. Most of the new inventions of words and expressions are restricted to special discussions, and seldom get into general conversation.Yet no profession is，nowadays, as all professions once were, a closed association. Specialists in different fields share ideas and associate f reely with each other. Furthermore, what is called “popular science” familiarizes everybody with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote lab, is at once reported in the newspaper, and everybody is soon talking about it—as in the case of the Roentgen rays and wordless telegraph. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.67．Technical terms are created so .A．specialists may communicate more easilyB．people may enjoy varieties of occupationsC．people may save time in everyday discussionsD．specialists may well accept mathematical formulas68．The writer lists wireless telegraph as an example to show special words .A．should represent popular scienceB．may become part of common speechC．should be restricted to scientific fieldsD．may be considered great inventions of man69．What can we infer from the passage?A．Nontechnical words may be replaced.B．Media helps to popularize special terms.C．Various professionals exchange their terms.D．Educated people know most technical terms.The wife-carrying World Championship has been celebrated in a small town in central Finland since 1992. In 1992, the people of the town decided to restart some long-forgotten traditions. 71 He was said to only accept men as members of his gang who proved their worth in challenges.
