Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the

40、 lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomeshd the land of fire. Death Valley s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada were lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their experience turned out to be a sad stor

41、y. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument（ 纪念碑）and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by humansettlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like

42、the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors.

46、ter this century. He was a man famous for his escapes 一from prison cells, from wooden boxes floating in rivers, from locked tanks full of water. He appeared in theatres all over Europe and America. Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his“magic tricks.Of course, his secret was not magic or super

47、natural powers. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in club in

48、NewYork. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his fist prison escape, in Chicago in 1898 Harry persuaded a detective to let him

49、try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.It was the publicity（ 宣传）that came from this that started Harry Houdini s success Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs（手铐）and toes trained to escape ankle chins. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the

50、 prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks, pass quickly from her mouth to his. Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. What was the result? World-wild fame, and a name remembered

51、 today.According to the passage, Houdini s success in prison escapes depends onhis special tricks and supernatural powershis unusual ability and a skeleton keyhis magic tricks and unhuman powershis wisdom and magic tricksIn the fourth paragraph, the underlined word this refers to .A. his first priso

52、n escapeB. the year 1898C. the publicityD.

A Skeleton KeyB.A Man of Many SecretsC.

53、World-wild FameD. Great EscapeEWhen a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no questio

54、n that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the world s great religions（ 宗教）order us to beopen-hearted and share what we have with those less fortu

55、nate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally （道德方面）right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.Fist, some bel

56、ieve that many city beggars dress up on purpose to took pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil（ 恶彳亍）.Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there

57、 is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one s sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that theproblem should be dealt with bythe government rather than ordinary people. Somepeople think beggars should go to the local government de

58、partment and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.What is mainly discussed in t

59、he passage?A. Moral deeds of people.B. Religious activities ofthe church.C. Moral goodness of the giver.D. Arguments on giving tobeggars.What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.Some people wi

60、ll not do what was morally right in the past.We don t meet with those who need help any more.Now it is the government s duty to help the beggars.79.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.Some beggars want money to help their children go t
