Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr. John Evans had never found the time or the money – to make the trip from his home near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse.

Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Walse, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling=1/20 pound) return from Swansea – too much I thought. All my money went to the family then,” he said.

During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament(国会).

The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about if he gets tired. “I don’t like the chair business – people will so think I am getting old,” he said.

His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized – no alcohol, no cigarette and no anger. Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-yeare-old son, Amwel, he quipped, “I’m glad to see they’ve given me a return ticket.”

 

57.  It was reported that Mr. Evans’s healthy long life was to a certain extent due to his ______.

A. wine drinking                               B. proper smoking

C. mild temper                                     D. sense of humor

58.  Which of the following statements is true?

A.        A single trip from Mr. Evans’s home to the White City used to be ten shillings

B.        The first place for Mr. Evans to visit is the Houses of Parliament.

C.       He appreciated people’s arrangement of a wheelchair during his visit.

D.       Mr. Evans once made the journey to London at the turn of the century.

59.  The word “quip” in the last sentence most probably means ______.

A. to make a witty remark                 B. to express a happy message

C. to make a wish                      D. to tell a joke

Paracutin was born in Mexico in February, 1943. At the end of one week Paracutin was 500 feet high, and it is now over 9,000 feet high. Today Paracutin is asleep.

What is Paracutin? It was the first volcano (火山) in the world which was seen from its birth right up to the present day. On February 20, 1943, a peasant and his wife set out to work in their corn fields from the Mexican village of Paracutin. They were surprised to find the earth warm under their feet. Suddenly they heard noises deep in the earth and a small hole appeared in their field. In the afternoon there was a sudden loud noise and stones were thrown high in the air. The peasants ran from the field and turned to watch. They saw the birth of a volcano.

Large quantities of stone and lava (岩浆) broke out and a little hill began to form. By evening this hill was 100 feet high and hot ashes were falling on the village. At night the strong light of the hot lava lit up the countryside. The trees near the village were killed and the villagers had to leave their houses. When the village was destroyed, its name was given to the volcano. The news quickly reached Mexico City, far to the east. Many people came to watch the scene. The volcano grew and grew for ten years and hundreds of square miles of forest were destroyed. Then Paracutin went to sleep.

 

 

61.    Paracutin was once the name of ______.

A.    a peasent                                         B.   a village        

C.   an old mountain                               D.   a Mexican

       A.    Paracutin is not active any more.

       B.   Paracutin is the first volcano in the world.

       C.   Paracutin did not exist until the early 1940s.

       D.   It took Paracutin 10 year to grow to its present size.

63.  What was destroyed in the growing up of the volcano?

       A.   The little hill of stone.

       B.   The villagers living close by.

       C.   The forests and fields round Paracutin.

       D.    The Mexican peasant and his wife.

64.  In this passage the writer is trying to ______.

       A.    tell us an interesting happening      B.    explain a scientific theory

Direction: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A.        Earthquakes Forecast

B.        Historical Records of Earthquake

C.       Intensities of Earthquakes

D.       Cause of Earthquakes

E.        Indications of Earthquakes

F.        Damaging Earthquakes

 

66.        

   Every year earthquakes are responsible for a large number of deaths and a vast amount of destruction in various parts of the would. Most of these damaging earthquakes occur either in a narrow belt which surrounds the Pacific Ocean or in a line which extends from Burma to the Alps in Europe. Some of the destruction is directly caused by the quake itself. An example of this the collapse of buildings as a result of the quake itself. Other damage results from landslides or major fires which are initiated by the quake.

67.        

    There are about a million quakes a year. Fortunately, however, not all of them are destructive. The intensity of an earthquake is measured on the Richter Scale, which goes from 0 upward. The highest scale recorded to date is 8.9. Major damage generally occurs from quakes ranging upward from 6.0.

68.        

   The actual cause of the quake itself is the breaking of rocks at or below the earth’s surface. This is produced by pressure which scientists believe may be due to a number of reasons, two of which are the expansion and contraction of the earth’s crust and continental drift.

69.        

   In order to limit the damage and to prevent some of the suffering resulting from earthquakes, scientists are working on ways to enable accurate prediction. Special instruments are used to help people record, for example, shaking of the earth. Scientists are trying to find methods that will enable them to indicate the exact time, location and size of an earthquake.

70.        

   Certain phenomena have been observed which are believed to be the signs of imminent earthquakes. These include strange behaviors of some animals, the changes in the content of mineral water, etc. The magnetic properties of rocks may also display special pattern before major earthquakes happen.
