The beat generation mainly referred to the youth who were born and brought up around the Second World War. They showed their ignorance of almost everything traditional, such as government authority ,respect for parents, one’s duty, moral standards, and traditional customs. They developed a kind of absolute individualism and liberty. They preferred long hair, mini dresses or close fitting clothes to show off the figure. They advocated （倡導(dǎo)）freedom of sex and cohabitation (同居).Their influence could be seen from the fact that about one third of the American couples living together were not married by law. And the divorce rate was very high. The endless U.S wars abroad and sharp class struggle at home caused many American youths to develop a kind of cynicism. They doubted the existing social system, possibility of harmonious human relations, and the long honored standard for correct behavior. They felt society overlooked their needs. Therefore, they refused to do any duty that was required of them by society. They declared “Don’t believe anyone over thirty.” All this came from the sick society. It’s wrong to imagine they all fought against capitalism in support of revolutionary things. Some of their ideas were even more decadent (頹廢的)and impractical. It was an abnormal phenomenon in an abnormal society.?

generation practiced cohabitation?       
A. about 20 couples.             B. about 30 couples.
C. about 60 couples.             D. about 40 couples.?
73.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage??
A. The beat generation’s refused to do any duty.?
B. The beat generation was in support of almost everything traditional.?
C. The beat generation believes no one except that he is over thirty.?

C. a theory advocating mutual help
D. a theory advocating individualism?
75..This passage is mainly about ____.?

It is natural that children are curious (好奇的) about the world around them. For example, they want to know how their hearts beat. They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty.
　　As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. They become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky. Later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity continues. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career (生涯、職業(yè)) in science.
　　Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world. Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies. Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e. g. physics, chemistry .
　　These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world. For example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Your heart is a pump (泵) that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen, too . So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.
　　Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask , “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.
　　We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.
【小題1】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A．People are curious in the same way.

A．more nutrition and oxygenB．more signals
C．more saltD．water
【小題4】A rock cracks _____.
A．in wet regions B．in dry regions
C．a(chǎn)t very high or very low temperaturesD．when salty water falls in

You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have great note-taking abilities but because you ask the most number of questions.   76    It is important to ask the right questions, though. Here are a few tips for improving your questioning skills:

Be clear and precise about what you want to know.

Be clear about what you want to know and frame your question accordingly.   77     If you beat around the bush, your teachers won’t be entirely sure what it is that you haven’t understood, or need an explanation for.

78    

If you are uncertain about a particular subject, clarify it when it is being discussed. Because questions often open up new avenues within a subject. Doing this would benefit the whole class.

Do not hesitate to talk to your teacher after class.

79     Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over. This will probably put you more at ease.

Write down your questions.

80     They may appear when you’re studying, reading or taking notes. Note them down on a piece of paper so that you won’t forget to ask them later. This can also make sure that you don’t have any unanswered questions when the exam approaches.

A．Do not ask more questions.

B．Questions may crop up（出現(xiàn)）at any time.

C．Being curious is not a bad quality.

D．You may think this is good.

E. Ask questions relevant to context.

F. A question needs to be easy to be understood and to-the-point.

G. One-to-one interations（互動(dòng)） are always much better than one-to-many.

     In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the Explorers
(探險(xiǎn)者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed
their surprise to the"moon people" they met.In turn, the"moon people" expressed their surprise."Why," they
asked,"are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?"
     H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon.
People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the qu- estion that the "moon
people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of acientists are seriously thinking about it.
     Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such
as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The"Chunnel", a tunnel (隧道)
connecting England and France, is now complete.
     But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground
systems, called"Alice Cities," The designers imagine using surface space for pubic parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太陽(yáng)能穹頂) would cover the whole city.
     Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use
the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness, H. G. Wells
"moon people" would agree. Would you?
1. The explorers in H. G. Wells, story were surprised to find that the "moon people"_____.
A. knew so much about the earth
B. understood their language
C. lived in so many underground cities

B. Using the earth's inner space.
C. Meeting the "moon people" again.
D. Traveling to outer space.
3. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
A. Offices, shopping areas,  power stations.
B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.
D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
4. What would be the beat title for the text?
A. Alice Cities-cities of the future
B. Space travel with H. G. Wells
C. Enjoy living underground
D. Building down, not up
