The easy way out isn't always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade break. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work . As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything . As Dong loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough(面团)covered with ugly yellowish marks . realizing I had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work , I went on preparing the rest of the meal , and , when Doug got home , we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing . I had to admit what the 'living thing 'was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed(尴尬)by the whole thing Doug or me.
54.The writer's purpose in writing this story is ___________

Decision-thinking is not unlike it often matters not only what you think , but also what others think you think what you think they think you think . The mental process(过程) is similar . Naturally, this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are, by any standards, good thinkers.
The great mathematician John von Neumann was one of the founders of game theory. In particular, he showed that all games fall into two classes; there are what he called games of 'perfect information', games like chess where the players can't hide anything or play tricks; they don't win by chance, but by means of logic and skills. Then there are games of 'imperfect information', like poker , in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another.
One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information. Quite the reverse Business, life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information. Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors(因素), best poker players . But few business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance, and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess, not poker.
59.The subject discussed in this text is ________.
A.the process of reaching decisions
B.the difference between poker and chess.
C.the secret of making good business plans
D.the value of information in winning games
60.An important factor in a game of imperfect information is _________.
A.rules B.luck C.time D.ideas
61.Which of the following can be used in place of Quite the reverse
A.Quite right. B.True enough.
C.Most unlikely. D.Just the opposite.
62.In the writer's opinion , when making business decisions one should ________ .
A.put perfect information before imperfect information
B.accept the existence of unknown factors
C.regard business as a game of chess
D.mix known and unknown factors
D
Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men in which he looked millions of years ahead . He told of different men and of strange civilisations(文明), broken up by long 'dark ages' in between . In his view , what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men . In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.
However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred The next thousand The next million That's much more difficult.
When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life Yet to men of 50,000 years from now , we may seem as primitive(原始的)in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us . Perhaps through the cribe , These words , which I have just made up , have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can't think of .
So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future Here are two reasons. First unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because. we are careless or greedy(贪婪) or quarrelsome . our grand-children will not bother to think of excuses for us.
Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves . For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming , we can think of trying it now . So set you imagination free when you think about the future .
63.A particular mention made of Stapledon's book in the opening paragraph ________.
A.serves as a description of human history
B.serves an introduction to the discussion
C.shows a disagreement of views
D.Shows the popularity of the book
64.The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that _________.
A.human history is extremely long
B.life has changed a great deal
C.it is useless to plan for the next 50 years
D.it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future
65.Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to _________.
A.tools used in farming
B.ideas about modern life
C.unknown things in the future
D.hunting skills in the Stone Age
66.According to the writer of the text , imagining the future will _________.
A.serve the interests of the present and future generations
B.enable us to better understand human history
C.help us to improve farming
D.make life worth living

Excused from recycling(回收利用) because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(垃圾道) You won't be for long. Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too .
In Shantzis' Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic , paper , metal , and other rubbish to go into separate boxes .
The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button , a microcomputer locks all other floors' chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute . The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables
Sorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting . Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.
67.The purpose in writing this text is _________.
A.to encourage people to recycle their rubbish
B.to introduce a recycling system for high rises
C.to describe the use of computer technology in recycling
D.to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises
68.When he says You won't be for long the writer means that _______.
A.you'll soon be living in a cleaner building
B.rubbish chutes will become out of date before long
C.you won't wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish
D.it won't be long before you'll have to recycle your rubbish
69.Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ___________
A.lock the other floors' chute doors
B.check if the container is full
C.press the correct button
D.break up the rubbish
70.The biggest advantage of this new system is that _________
A.it reduces the cost of recycling
B.it saves time and space
C.it saves money for people living in high rises
D.it makes better use of the existing recovery equipment

One possible version
It was 715 on the morning of February 8,2000. It was walking along Park Road towards the east when an elderly man came out of the park on the other side of the street. Then I saw a yellow car drive up Third Street and make a right turn into Park Road. The next moment the car hit the man while he was crossing the road. He fell with a cry. The car didn't stop but drove off at great speed heading west. I noticed the driver was a young woman and the plate number was AC864. About two minutes later I stopped a passing car and took the old man to the nearest hospital.
