(A)
Henry Ford，American car manufacturer, founded the Ford Car
Company and produced Type T cars．He succeeded in making America a
big car country．
Growing up on a far-away Michigan farm，Henry Ford knew little
of fanning--but he soon showed signs that he belonged to a new
generation of Americans interested more in the industrial future
than in the agricultural past．His father, William，hoped that his
eldest son would join him on the farm enable it to become larger,
and at last，take it over．But Henry hated farm work and did everything he could to avoid it．It was not that he was lazy．Far from it．Give him a mechanical job to do and he would set to work eagerly．It was the daily life of the farm，with its repetitive tasks，that frustrated him，“What a waste it is，”he wrote years later,remembering his work in the fields，“for a human being to spend hours and days behind a slowly moving team of horses．”
So Henry turned his attention elsewhere．When he was twelve．he became very interested in clocks and watches．Soon he was repairing clocks and watches for friends，working at a bench he built in his bedroom．In l876，Henry left the farm，and three years later, he took a job as a mechanic in Detroit. By this time steam engines had joined clocks and watches as objects of Henry’s fascination．
According to Henry himself, he first saw a steam—driven road engine one day in 1877 when he and his farther in their horse-drawn farm wagon，met one on the road．The engine driver stopped to let the wagon pass，and Henry jumped down and went to him
with many technical questions about the engine’s performance．From then on，for a while；Henry became fascinated with steam engines.
A chance meeting with an old co-worker led to a job for Henry as an engineer at the Edison Detroit Electricity Company, the leading force in another new industry. Power stations were being built and cables being laid in all of the United States’ major cities；the age of electricity had begun．But although Henry quickly learned the rules for his new job—so quickly that within four years he was the chief engineer at the Detroit power plant—his interest in fuel engines had control of his life．At first in the kitchen，and later in a shed at the back of his house, he spent his spare time in the evenings trying to build an engine to his own design． Henry learned it was a stow, hard business to build an engine by hand．Every piece of every part had to be made separately, checked and rechecked, and tested．Every problem had to be worried over and solved by the builder．To ease the burden，Henry joined forces with another mechanic，Jim Bishop. Even so，it was two years before they had succeeded in building a working car．It was a simple one, fixed on bicycle wheels and driven by a rubber belt that connected the engine to the back wheels．Henry called it the “Quadricycle”．

B. Henry built his first working car with his own efforts．
C．It took them two years of hard work to build their first car．

The Cave of Lascaux
It was Thursday, September l2，1940．Four
French teens were out exploring in the woods off
the northern slopes of the Pyrenees．Many years
before，an old pine tree fell and left a large hole
in the ground．The teenagers were out exploring
in the woods off the northern slopes of the
Pyrenees．Many years before，an old pine tree fell
and left a large hole in the ground．The teenagers were curious and they started to explore the area and fell into one of the most important archeological finds of the twentieth century!
There are over a hundred limestone caves in this region of France．Some were inhabited by humans thousands and thousands of years ago．Between l5，000-17,000 years ago，humans painted lively creatures such as cows，bulls，horses，and even cats on the walls of the cave．
Why did they mark these walls? Was it to tell a story? Was it to record a famous battle? There are many mysteries and ancient secrets still waiting to be discovered in the cave of Lascaux．There were dots in many of the paintings. What do these dots mean? Were they meant to record time，a calendar? Deep in the cave，there is a drawing of a “birdman”, What does this mean? Was it a place for sacred ceremonies? No one knows for sure．
The actual cave of Lascaux was closed in l 963 due to the overabundance of tourists visiting the site. The carbon monoxide that people were breathing out，was causing damage to the fragile cave paintings. Up till now the Lascaux cave is still closed for tourists．Only a specialist can visit the cave by a special order that must be made out almost a year in advance．Not more than six persons can enter the cave per day．Two days a week，the cave is completely closed，Due to the great interest of numerous tourists, in l983 Lascaux Ⅱ was opened for tourism．It is an exact replica of the cave of Lascaux．

If there is one thing I’m quite sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers．Not that newspapers are a necessity．Even now some people get most of the news from the television or have the radio switched on in the background or in the car, many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The basic British character won't change，and one of the characteristics of the British is that we do n’t much 1ike talking to each other when we get up．So，what better way is there to keep yourself thinking in the morning than to wrap yourself in a newspaper?
Over the past couple of centuries, human beings have developed a close relationship with the newspaper．It has become as natural as breathing or enjoying the sun．And it is not just the British who love newspapers．On Suburban trains in Calcutta．For instance，just one person in the whole car will buy a newspaper and read aloud the best bits to his fellow passengers, much to everyone’s enjoyment. The nature of what is news may change，What essentially makes news is what affects our lives and the big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same．I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though．It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives，like genetic engineering(基因工程)．In the future I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do——whether it’s love or depressions we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite poss ible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from the national equivalents of Fleet Street(伦敦的舰队街，以报馆集中而著称)and printed out in our own homes，In fact，I'm pretty sure that is how it will happen in future．Yo u’11 probably select from a menu，making up your own bespoke newspaper by picking out the things you want to read. You might even have an intelligent screening device to do the job for you．
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about the competition between the different media．They actually have a relationship，feeding off each other．It was once predicted that television would kill off newspapers，which hasn’t happened．What is read on the printed page is more enduring than pictures on a
flickering screen or sound lost in the sky．And as for the internet,it's never really satisfying to read something just on a screen.
66．The writer of the passage is probably from .
A．Russia B．India C．Britain D. America
67．According to the passage the future of newspapers .
A．will be mainly connected with scientific research
B．will report more important political activities
C．will directly cover more on science
D．will build a bridge between different people
68．The underlined part “bespoke newspaper” of the passage probably means .
A. a newspaper which dares to report the truth
B．a newspaper edited to one’s own interest
C．a newspaper edited and published for the public
D．a newspaper which only cover the life of family members
69．The writer thinks that competitions between different media .
A．have a relationship，depending on each other
B. will destroy some media in the word
C．do great harm to people
D. are becoming more and more severe(严重)
70. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．It was centuries ago that newspapers came into being
B. Televisions have taken place of newspapers
C．The internet will gradually take place of newspapers
D．The British are active

Many American schools have a student exchange programme with foreign countries．Along with this programme, there is usually another one called the “American Host Family” programme．
As its name indicates，the programme gets American families involved in foreign students’ lives in America and offers homes for them．
Foreign students generally welcome such an opportunity to have a “family”here，but there are also those who prefer to stay “homeless．”
Many American families volunteer to host foreign students.
However，if there，is a shortage of host families，schools also contact local people and recommend foreign students to them．
The “American Host Family”programme varies in length of time．It can go from a few days to a few years，depending on each individual school．It is typical that
a host family invites its foreign daughter or son over, and they cook the students’home food together．
Many foreign students establish a close relationship with their host families，especially during their first year in this country．In some cases，this relationship extends to a considerably long period of time．
The “American Host Family”programme has bridged a mutual understanding between American people and students from all over the world．It is a country-wide programme and has existed for many years．As long as foreign students come to study in America, it will keep bringing more and more people into friendly families.
