6．Is there anything more important than health？I don't think so．"Health is the greatest wealth，"wise people say．（36）FIf you have a headache，toothache，backache，or bad pain in the stomach，if you complain of a bad cough，or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure，I think you go to the doctor．
  The doctor will examine your throat，test your blood pressure，take your temperature，sound your heart and lungs，check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed．（37）G．The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice．
  （38）D．
  An old gentleman came to see the doctor．The man was very ill．He told the doctor about his weakness，memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs．The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease．He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest，（39）E．In other words，the doctor advised him to follow the rule："Eat at pleasure，drink with measure and enjoy life as it is．"The doctor also said that if the man wanted to b e well again，he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day．
  A month later the gentleman came into the doctor's office．（40）B．He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man．
"But you know，doctor，"he said，"it's not easy to begin smoking at my age"

5．Considering Australia's size and the fact that early settlements were far apart，Australian society is remarkably homogeneous （ 同种的）．Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them．It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents．
However，there is some difference in lifestyle between city settlers and the country people．Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fastpaced cities along the coast and has little more_than_a_passing_familiarity_with_the_desert． The major cities preserve images of colonial heritage，but the overall impression is modern，with new buildings reflecting the country's youth．In contrast，the rural communities tend to be slowmoving and conservative．For many years，Australia was said to have"ridden on the sheep's back"，a reference to wool being the country's main money earner．However，it is no longer dominant （主宰的）．Much of Australia's relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat，and by being the largest diamond producer in the world．Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important．Australians are generally friendly and relaxed，with a modest sense of humor．
Yet，contrary to widespread belief，very few Australians have true prisoner origins．Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788，Australia had become a nation of immigrants．Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles，today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere．Australia's liberal postwar immigration policies led to a flowing of survivors from wartorn Europe，most notably Greeks，Italians，Poles and Germans．
The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia．Today Australia is a"mixture of nations"and although some racism exists，it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is reasonably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural commu nities in the world．
33．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners．
B．One third of people living in Australia come from Europe．
C．The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports．
D．The pace of life in the city is different from that in the country．
34．What used to be Australia's main money earner？A
A．Wool       B．Wheat．C．Tourism     D．Diamond
35．We can infer from the passage thatD．
A．nothing about Australia's colonial part in modern cities can be seen by visitors
B．tourism and wine making resulted in fast development in rural communities only
C．immigrants from Europe have brought racial problems
D．Australia's recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia．

4．Washington：NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon，Ganymede，has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface．The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface，according to new Hubble observation．
New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon，which is the largest in our whole solar system，is home to a subsurface ocean．
Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick，which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans．But unlike our salty waters，Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice．
While scientists have speculated（推测） since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede-the largest moon in our solar system-until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft，which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean．
This discovery marks an important milestone，highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish．In its 25 years in orbit，Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system．A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth．
Scientists_have_already_confirmed_the_existence_of_an_ocean_on_Europe，_another moon orbiting Jupiter，and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water．
Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth，but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets．Using these same principles，scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well．
25．What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passage？C
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system．
B．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope．
C．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth．
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft．
26．Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble？
A
A．Favorable．B．Doubtful．
C．Negative．D．Cautious．
27．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean？B
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europe．
B．It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europe．
C．The presence of an underground ocean in Europe is not possible．
D．No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europe．
28．What type of writing does this passage belong to？D
A．A term essay．
B．An exploration review．
C．An experiment report．
D．A news report..

1．With time（56）passing （pass） by，styles in Western art have changed many times．In the 5th century，the art of the Middle Ages came into being．A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people； （57）instead his paintings were full of religious symbols．
（58）As time went on，the Renaissance took place，during（59）which period painters began to adopt a more humanistic attitude towards life．Moreover，one of the most important（60）discoveries （discover） during this time（61）was （be） how to draw things in perspective．This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1482．
With new inventions and social changes in the late 19th century，a new style of painting-Impressionism，came（62）on/onto the stage．However，many people said the paintings of the Impressionists were ridiculous．Modern art began in（63）the early 20th century．Some of the paintings of modern artists are so（64）realistic （real） that they look like photographs．
Thus，styles of arts vary a great deal over time．Who can predict （65）what painting styles there will be in the future？
