For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A man steps on what seems like solid ground but discovers with horror that the ground is giving way under his feet. The man struggles desperately(拼命地) , but he is trapped, he cannot escape. Slowly he sinks deeper and deeper until at last he is gone, buried in the dangerous earth. The solid ground was solid only in appearance. It was actually quicksand (流沙), which is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.How is quicksand formed? Water pushed up from below the surface and is held by the sand. The grains of sand are forced apart by the water. They cannot hold many weight. The underground water may have come from a spring, a river, or a stream. Sometimes pools of water near beaches become filled with sand. When the soil under these pools does not allow for good drainage (排水) the sand can become stretches of quicksand.Is it true that a man who steps into a quicksand is sure to die? No, four men have fought their way from quicksand to firm land again. It is panic that creates the condition that can result in death, for the more a person struggles, the worse matters become. Quick movements will make the sand give way easily, but then it rushes back and settles solidly around the body.A man trapped in quicksand should either lie back or not move at all, except to stretch out his arms. When the weight of the sand his body has taken the place of equals his weight, he will stop sinking. With feet held still, and with slow movements of the arms, as in the backstroke(反手拍击) in swimming, men have managed to roll to safety and reach firm ground. ( ) 65.

It is hard to keep calm if you fall into quicksand.D. It is easy to get out of quicksand.( ) 68. Why is poor drainage under sand-filled pools dangerous?A. These pools can become filled with water.B. These pools can become stretches of quicksand.C. Men who step into them start to fight in panic.D.

We waited anxiously, hardly daring to move or to whisper to one another. Suddenly, we heard the quick beating of wings and one of the birds we were looking for flew up from the valley beyond. He came straight to the tree and settled on a thin branch, stripped (剥) bare of leaves. Immediately he began to clean himself .combing with his beak(鸟嘴) the long soft feathers which grew beneath his wings and extended past his tail in a red cloud. Charless camera sounded surprisingly loud, but the bird took no notice and continued with his cleaning until at last he drew himself up and shook himself. Then head held high, he called a single, loud, sharp note which resounded(传遍) over the valley. He seemed in no hurry to begin his dance, for he continued to call for a quarter of an hour. Two other birds flew from the valley and settled in other parts of the tree. They were hens, uninteresting brown creatures, which, attracted (吸引) by his calls, had come to see his dance. He paid no attention to them, and continued his unmusical cries, occasionally cleaning some more feathers. The hens remained silent, moving from branch to branch. Once one of them drew too near his dancing ground, but he beat his wings and she drew back.His calls began to increase in frequency, and I carefully fixed the recording machine so that they produced the highest reading on the scale.With electrifying suddenness, the bird lowered his head and throwing his fine tail-feathers over his back, he ran down his branch, a shaking flame of color, making his loud love-cries. Up and down the branch he danced in a state of wild excitement. After half a minute he seemed to get out of breath, for his cries stopped and he danced in silence.As we watched, unable to move, I remembered that according to the local people the birds sometimes become so excited that they fall off their branches more dead than alive, and can be picked up from the ground before they return to consciousness. Now, watching the dance, I was well able to believe that this might indeed happen.( ) 72.

The writer felt it easy to believe that_.A. the local people might be unable to moveB. the local people picked up the dead birdsC. the birds might fall down unconsciousD. birds could die during the dance(D)I would like to propose that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening, right after the early evening news, all television broadcasting in the United States be prohibited(禁止) by law.Let us take a serious, reasonable look at what the results might be if such a proposal were accepted.
