Before the waves reach South America，the second piece of the et lands in Argentina.Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains.The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean.The cities of Los Angeles，San Francisco and Tokyo are pletely destroyed by lions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead，but the north won't escape for long.Because of the explosions，the sun is hidden by clouds of dust，temperatures
around the world fall to almost zero.Crops are ruined.The sun won't be seen again for many years.Wars break out as countries fight for food.A year later，no more than 10 million people remain alive.

B
In a great many cities，hundreds of people ride bikes to work every day.In New York，some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City .They declare that if more people rode bikes to work，there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines.
For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders.For example，they want the city to draw special lanes( 车道) for bikes on some of the main streets，because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars there are accidents.Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes，more people would use bikes.
But no bike lanes have been drawn .Not everyone thinks it is a good idea—they say it will slow traffic.Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic，they will have less business.
The city government has not yet decided what to do.It wants to keep everyone happy.On weekends，Central Park—the largest place of open ground in New York—its closed to cars，and the roads may be used by bike only.
But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bike lanes downtown.
60．In New York，a group of bike riders________.
A．are keeping practicing for health
B．have no cars of their own
C．are plaining (埋怨) there are not enough buses
D．are trying to settle the problem of air pollution

由第一段They declare that if more people rode bikes to
work，there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines.可知，他们组成一个自行车队为的是呼吁更多的人使用自行车，这样就会解决车辆带来的空气污染问题。

答案 D
61．The bike riders suggest that________.
A．bikes should be used instead of cars.
B．bike lanes should be drawn
C．fewer buses or cars should be used
D．the number of special lanes should be decreased
解析细节理解题。

根据第二段For example ，they want the city to draw special lanes( 车道) for bikes on some of the main streets可推知答案。

答案 B
62．The advantage of the special lanes is that________.
A．they will make cars and buses run slowly
B．they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks
C．they will make the city more beautiful
D．they will prevent accidents
解析推理判断题。

根据第二段they want the city to draw special lanes( 车道) for bikes on some of the main streets，because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars there are accidents.可推知，如果自行车车道多了的话，由于自行车和汽车共用同一条车道而导致的事故就会减少。

答案 D
63．Cars are not permitted to enter Central Park on weekends________.
A．so that Bike for a Better City is pleased
B．so that everyone is happy
C．and bike lanes are drawn
D．but Bike for a Better City is still not satisfied

答案 D
C
When I was a child，I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city.We lived on a farm and in the winter especially(尤其)，we were quite cut off from the outside world.As soon as I left school，I packed up my bags and moved to the capital.However，I soon discovered that city life has its problems，too. One disadvantage(不利) is money—it costs so much to go out，not to mention basics like food and housing.Another disadvantage is pollution.I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside.Then there is the problem of travelling round.Although I have a car，I seldom use it because of the traffic jams(交通堵塞)．One choice(选择) is to go by bicycle，but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course，there are advantages(有利)．First，there is so much to do in the city，whatever your tastes in culture(文化) or entertainment(娱乐)．Besides，there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position.Finally，if you like shopping，the variety(多种) of goods(货物) is very surprising—and，what is more，shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then，in the city? Perhaps it is，when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties.However，as you get older，and especially if you have small children，the peace(宁静) of the countryside may seem preferable.I certainly hope to move back there soon.
64．What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A．Staying on the farm.
B．Moving to the countryside.
C．Leaving home for the city.
D．Running away from the school.
解析细节理解题。

第一段第一句话就点出了作者小的时候的梦想，那就是离开乡下到城市里去。

答案 C
65．Where is the writer living now?
A．In the countryside.
B．In the city.
C．In the school.
D．Not mentioned(提到) in the passage.
解析细节理解题。

答案 A
D
What will man be like in the future—in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today，for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example.Man，even five hundred years ago，was shorter than he is today.Now，on average，men are about three inches taller.Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again，in the modern world we use our brains a great deal.Even so，we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity.As time goes on，however，we shall have to use our brains more and more，and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head，in particular the forehead，will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.In fact，we use them so much that very often they bee weaker and we have to wear glasses.But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand，we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.These，as a result，are likely to grow weaker.At the same time，however，our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future，then，both sexes are likely to be bald(光秃的)．
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true.All the same，in spite of all these changes，future man will still have a lot in mon with us.He will still be a human being，with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
67．The passage mainly tells us that________.
A．man's life will be different in the future.
B．future man will look quite different from us.
C．man is growing taller and uglier as time passes.
D．human's organs' functions will bee weak.

She surprised me a little bit when she asked me what it was about.__71__She said she knew what it was about.She said it was because I hadn't done anything wrong and was simply being me.__72__ Why would I be bullied for not doing anything wrong? __73__I was sure that couldn't be right.We weren't very well off so I had second-hand clothes，simple shoes，etc.while the other person was always in the latest fashion and had new things.
Then my grandmother explained that the jealousy(嫉妒)was not of material things but of what I carried inside—my“hidden gems”．My grandmother said that the bully was jealous that I had so many wonderful gems hidden inside of me.__74__ When I was at school the next week，I had a whole different view of the bully.I think the pity must have shown in my eyes because the bullying stopped.。
