B In deserts,the wind may help to change the shape of the land by blowing the sand into heaps called dunes(沙丘).In the Sahara Desert,in Africa,the dunes are huge;far,far larger than anything you could find in this country.They are often shaped like a half moon and that is packed(堆压) very loosely.Trying to walk up the side of one is very difficult because the sand moves under your feet.One step upwards is usually followed by sliding down again. Because the sand is so loose,the wind can blow it about easily and the whole position of a dune may slowly shift.If there are any rocks in a part of the desert,these may get worn down by being constantly hit by flying sand.Sometimes they are worn into strange and interesting shapes. 54. The wind helps to change the shape of the land in deserts by___________. A.blowing the sand into the shape of a half-moon B.packing the sand very loosely C.blowing the sand into dunes D.wearing down the rocks in the deserts 55.

The word "worn" (wear) in the last sentence means___________. A.to have something on the body B.to become less useful C.to make holes or grooves in something by rubbing D.to go slowly or to last long 57. Which of the following is the best to be the topic of this passage? A.The Sahara Desert B.The Deserts C.The Winds D.Winds and Deserts C Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another.It doesn't matter where you live-in the middle of a modern city,or a faraway village-the chances are that you'll be disturbed(烦忧) by jet aeroplanes,transistor radios,oil-powered engines,etc.We seem to be getting used to noise,too.Some people feel quite lonely without background muisc while they're working. Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being.However,some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud,and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓).The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas. One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration,what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise.It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn't change too much (music,for example) may even help people to concentrate. 58. According to this passage,the noise pollution___________. A.has become the worst in the countryside B.has become better in big cities C.has spread from cities to villages D.has been controlled in modern cities 59. What does background music refer to? A.Music played while people are working B.Music played in the backyard C.Noise that continues while you're listening to other noises D.Music used to help people to concentrate 60. Some people have thier hearing harmed__________. A.while listening to pop music B.in complete silence C.when speaking loudly D.while watching TV 61. Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating on something is____________. A.all kinds of noise B.great changes in the level of noise C.background noise D.popular music D These days,most people in Beritain and the US do not wear very formal clothes.But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing. Many British people don't think about clothes very much.They just like to be comfortable.When they go out to enjoy themselves,they can wear almost anything.At theatres,cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like-from elegant(雅致的) suits and dresses to jeans(牛仔裤) and sweaters.Anything goes,as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain,as well as the US,men in offices usually wear suits and ties,and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers).Doctors,lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes.And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses. In many ways,Americans are more relaxed(轻松的) than British people,but they are more careful with their clothes.At home,or on holiday,most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes,But when they go out in the evening,they like to look elegant.In good hotels and restaurants,men have to wear jackets and ties,and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles. It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the US,because everyone is different.If you are not sure what to wear,watch what other people do and then do the same.You'll feel more relaxed if you don't look too different from everyone else. 62. Who doesn't usually wear suits and ties? A.lawyers B.doctors C.drivers D.secretaries 63. If you visit an American friend in the evening,you may find that your friend wears ____________.

What can explain and solve(解决) this problem?The fact is that pollution is caused by man-by his desire(欲望) for a modern way of life.We make "increasing industrialization"(工业化) our chief aim.So we are often ready to offer everything:clean air,pure water,good food,our health and the future of our children.There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities,eager for the benefits of our modern society.But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years,pollution has become a serious problem. Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going-and why?It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot(飞行员) who told his passengers over the loudspeaker:"I've some good news and some bad news.The good news is that we're making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour.The bad news is that we're lost and don't know where we're going." The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society. 66. Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted because ____________.
