So where did that nickname come from?The term “bookworm” (28)_ (use) since the 1500s. Way back then, libraries did not have the modern air conditioning systems (29)_(control) the environment (30) _ (surround) the books. As a result, some old libraries became musty and attracted various pests, some of which then took the form of insects and worms loving to eat paper and stay inside of books, (31)_ they would spend their entire lives.

Theyve uncovered gold coins, jewelry, giant statues, ships and a sign. These items provide clues to help find out (37)_ life was like in Heracleion.Secret of the DeepBut so far, the sinking of this city remains a mystery. Goddio isnt sure how the city sank. He thinks that earthquakes or tidal waves (38)_ have caused it to fall into the sea. “Stories from long ago tell of other cities in this area disappearing because of either or (39)_ of those things,” explains Goddio.With many of Heracleions treasures still buried under the sea, it may be many years before all its secrets (40)_(reveal). “Weve barely scratched the surface with this city.” another scientist Robinson says.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read A Its a typically Snoopy card: cheerful message, bright colors, though a little yellow and faded now. Though Ive received fancier, more expensive card over the years, this is the only one Ive saved. One summer, it spoke volumes to me. I received it during the first June I faced as a widow to raise two teen age daughters alone. In all the emotional confusion of this sudden single parenthood, I was overwhelmed with, of all things, the simplest housework: leaky taps, oil changes, even barbecues. Those had always been my husbands jobs. I was embarrassed every time I hit my thumb with a hammer or couldnt get the lawnmower started. My uncertain attempts only fueled the fear inside me: How could I be both a father and mother to my girls? Clearly, I lacked the tools and skills. On this particular morning, my girls pushed me into the living room to see something.(I prayed it wasnt another repair job.)The “something “turned out to be an envelope and several wrapped bundles on the carpet. My puzzlement must have been plain as I gazed from the colorful packages to my daughters bright faces. “Go ahead! Open them! “They urged. As I unwrapped the packages , I discovered a small barbecue grill and all the necessary objects including a green kitchen glove with a frog pattern on it. But why? I asked. Happy Fathers Day! they shouted together.Moms dont get presents on Fathers Day. I protested. You forgot to open the card. Jane reminded. I pulled it from the envelope. There sat Snoopy, on top of his dog house, merrily wishing me a Happy Fathers Day. Because, the girls said, youve been a father and mother to us. Why shouldnt you be remembered on Fathers Day? As I fought back tears, I realized they were right, I wanted to be a professional dad, who had the latest tools and knew all the tricks of the trade. The girls only wanted a parent they could count on to be there, day after day, performing repeatedly the maintenance tasks of basic care and love. The girls are grown now, and they still send me Fathers Day cards, but none of those cards means as much to me as that first one. Its simple message told me being a great parent didnt require any special tools at alljust a willing worker.66、 By it spoke volumes to me, (Para. 1) the mother in the story means the card_.Aconveyed significant meanings to herBaroused great sorrow in herCbrought her pleasant feelingsDmade her feel important67、 After her husbands death, the mother found it was the hardest to_.A. handle the emotional shock B. face the terrible lonelinessC.
