24、ever, that by 100 A.D., Rome was the centre of a big empire. It was from Syria in the east to Spain in the west, from Britain in the north to Africa in the south. All or part of 27 of todays countries were included in the Roman Empire. All of their people were ruled by one government, that of Rome.

25、All educated people spoke the same language, Latin. And one of the empires outposts was called Londinium. This unimportant town would later become London, England, and the centre of another empire.The Roman Empire came to and end about 1,500 years ago. Yet in some ways it is still with us. Take the

26、letters you are reading, for example, English, like many other languages, uses the Roman alphabet (字母) while also borrowing many words. The laws of many European countries are based on ancient Roman laws. Roman ruins are seen throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. In some places, Roma

27、n roads and water courses are still in use. To this day, a European in North Africa is likely to be called “Roumi”-Roman. Even modern place names are often after Ancient Rome. Both Greece and Germany have the names given by the Romans rather than the names that their own people first called them. 56

28、. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that Roman culture is _.A. dead and gone B. based completely on languageC. still part of the present D. unimportant to history57. What happened first?A. Londinium was an outpost.B. The Roman Empire fell apart.C. The city of Rome was founded.D. London became the cent

29、re of an empire.58. Which of the following is NOT true?A. In Europe people still use Roman names in some places.B. Londinium became the centre of an empire after Roman Empire fell apart.C. We may see some remaining parts of Roman Empire in North Africa.D. In Europe 27 countries had the same laws.B W

30、here on Earth are you? Navigators (导航员) use lines of latitude and lines of longitude to locate places. Lines of latitude run east and west around Earth. On a map or globe, these lines appear as running sideways or horizontally. Lines of longitude run north and south around Earth. These lines go up a

31、nd down or vertically on a map or globe. These lines create an imaginary graph paper on the Earth. They make it possible to find an absolute, or exact, location on Earth. They even allow us to give an absolute location to a place out in the middle of the ocean. Lines of latitude tell us how far nort

32、h or south of the Equator we are. Sailors have used primitive navigation tools, like astrolabes, since ancient times. The astrolabe uses the sun and stars to find an approximate location. Using such tools, they have been able to approximate their distance from the equator. Although their instruments

33、 may not have been the high quality we have now, they were incredibly accurate (精确) for their time. Lines of longitude tell us how far east or west of the prime meridian (本初子午线) we are. Sailors constantly looked for new ways to increase their navigation skills. Still, it wasnt until the 18th century

34、 that they were able to measure degrees of longitude. They would have been very envious of the technology available to us today.When we use lines of latitude and longitude together, we can get a very precise location. If we want to identify the absolute location of a point, we look where the latitud

35、e and longitude lines cross nearest to that point. We use the coordinates (坐标) for that point as its address. Many maps today include degrees of latitude and longitude.59. _ make it possible for people to find an exact place on Earth.A. Latitudes B. Longitudes C. Navigators D. Sailors60. The second

36、paragraph mainly talks about _.A. the function of latitude B. the use of the equatorC. the invention of astrolabe D. the high quality instruments61. Why do maps include degrees of latitude and longitude?A. To help trade expeditions.B. To locate a precise place.C. To cross the lines of the nearest po

37、int. D. To identify how far a place is.62. The best title for this passage is _.A. The map and the globe B. Latitude and longitudeC. The equator and the prime meridian D. Absolute coordinatesC As shocking as the idea of baby birds growing up in a cigarette-filled home sounds, a new study suggests th

38、at some birds may benefit from putting the stuff from cigarette butts (烟蒂) into their nests. The nicotine remaining in smoked filters (滤嘴) may serve as a natural insecticide (杀虫剂), driving harmful insects away from the nests and the baby birds living within. Tobacco plants produce nicotine because i

39、t defends against insects that would otherwise eat the plants.The butts are undoubtedly smelly. But birds are actually quite fond of smelly chemicals, such as those found in aromatic (芳香的) plants. Some nest-building species regularly fill their nests with fresh aromatics, possibly because the chemic

40、als are good for the immune system or the development of the chicks. Alternatively, the plant chemicals might act as insecticides.In the study, researchers at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala in Mexico set up heat traps, which attract harmful insects, in 55 nests around Mexico City. Some traps

41、were lined with the stuff in smoked cigarette filters. The others were lined with the stuff from unsmoked cigarette filters, which did not contain nicotine and other smoking by-products. Whether the nest held eggs, chicks or nothing, the unsmoked cigarette traps collected more harmful insects, sugge

42、sting that it is the chemicals that drove harmful insects away.In a second experiment, the researchers collected 28 house sparrow nests and 29 house finch (朱雀) nests from Mexico City immediately after the chicks flew out for food. They found that the more smoked filter stuff filled a nest, the fewer

43、 harmful insects it had.The missing piece of the puzzle is whether the reduced number of harmful insects in the nests actually provided any benefit to the chicks. It is also unclear if nicotine or another chemical found in cigarettes may have turned the harmful insects out of the nests.If the result

44、s hold, then this study is an example of wildlife adaptation to urbanization or at least evidence that birds are smart and can still follow their noses in urban environments.63. What may be the function of nicotine in cigarette butts for birds? A. To provide building materials for bird nests. B. To

45、drive harmful insects away from bird nests. C. To protect the plants from being eaten by insects.D. To attract baby birds to stay in the nests.64. What is the first experiment aimed at? A. Proving that heat traps attract harmful insects in Mexico City. B. Comparing smoked cigarette filters with unsm

46、oked ones. C. Analyzing what is produced from smoked cigarette filters. D. Studying what it is that drives harmful insects away. 65. What can you infer from the passage?A. Birds tend to use insecticide to protect the baby birds.B. Nicotine is the only chemical that drives harmful insects away.C. Som

47、e insects are afraid of smelly chemicals in aromatic plants.D. Unsmoked cigarette traps attract more harmful insects.66. Where could you possibly see the passage?A. In a science report B. In an urbanization essayC. In a tobacco advertisement D. In an anti-smoking brochureD It is a truth universally

48、acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families that he is considered the rightful prop

49、erty of someone or other of their daughters.“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day. “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?” Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.“But it is, ” returned she, “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”Mr. Bennet made no an

50、swer.“Do you not want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently.“You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.”This was invitation enough.“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that h

51、e came down on Monday in a chaise to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”“What is his name?”“Bingley.”“Is he married or

52、single?” “Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!”How so? How can it affect them?“My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.”“

53、Is that his design in settling here?”“Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”“I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps

54、 will be still better, for as you are as beautiful as any of them. Mr. Bingley may like you the best of the party. ”67. The sentence “ a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife” means that _.A. a single man without money neednt a wife B. women want to get married to fina

55、ncial stable menC. a single man who is financially stable needs a wifeD. once man becomes rich, he must want to get a wife68. From the conversation between the Bennets, we can conclude that Mrs. Bennet _.A. wanted to persuade her husband to visit the young manB. wanted to get an invitation from their new neighbor to a partyC. asked for her husbands permission to visit the new neighborD. wanted to tell her husband something about their new neighbor69. At the end of the passage
