Look! she shouted to her friends. Thats a spaceship up there and its going to land here.Frightened by the strange silver-colored spaceship, most of the young people got in their cars and drove away quickly. Peter was fond of Mary and always stayed close to her. They, more curious than frightened, watched the spaceship land and saw a door open. When nobody came out, they went to the spaceship and entered inside. Peter followed Mary into the spaceship and did not hear the door closed behind him. The temperature fell rapidly and the two young people lost consciousness.When they woke up, they were surprised to see that they were back by the river again. The spaceship had gone. Their car was nearby.What happened? asked Mary.Peter scratched (抓) his head, saying slowly, Dont ask me. Perhaps we had a dream. Did you.Did you see a spaceship?Yes, said Mary. And we both went into it. Then. she looked at her wrist. Thats funny. My watch has stopped. Oh, well, come on. Its time to go home.Driving about fifty meters, they found their way blocked by a thick wall made of something like glass. They got out of the car and tried to find their way round the wall but discovered that they were inside a circular wall. It was like a mirror and prevented them from seeing through it.On the other side of the wall, strange creatures walked past slowly. A few stopped to stare through the wall and read a new notice which, translated into English, said: New arrivals at the zoo: a pair of Earthlings in their natural surroundings with their mobile house.61.

While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk along long distances from where we live.（76）I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It is really an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.（77）People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.64. Why was the bike so important to the couple? A. They used it for work and daily life. B. It was their only possession (财产). C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. The mans job was bike racing.65. We can infer from the passage that _. A. the couple worked 60 hours a week B. people were busy before Christmas C. the stranger brought over the bike D. life was hard for the young family66. How did people get to know the couples problem? A. From a stranger. B. From a newspaper. C. From TV news D. From radio broadcasts.67. What do the couple learn from their experience? A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike. C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.Passage CNow satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones.（78）Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.68. Satellites travel _.A. in space B. in the atmosphere C. above the ground D. above space69. Meteorologists forecast the weather _.A. when they have received satellite picturesB. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier onesC. before they received satellite picturesD. during they study satellite pictures70. Maybe well soon be able to forecast the weather for _.A. one day B. two days C. five days D. seven days or even longer71. The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _.A. taking pictures of the atmosphereB. receiving pictures of the atmosphereC. doing other work in many waysD. weather forecastingPassage D(79)As prices and building costs keep rising, the do-it-yourself (DIY)trend（趋势）in the U.S. continues to grow. We needed furniture for our living room, says John Ross, and we just didnt have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs. John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420.I was deeply upset about it. Now Ive finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.John and Jim are not unusual people.(80) Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a do-it-yourselfer, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who dont have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.72. We can learn from the text that many newly married
