Tristan da Cunha, a 38-square-mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor, St.Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral（葡萄牙海军上将）of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred.
Coming in a close second---and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land---is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor, Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America.
The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moai, for which the island is most famous.
On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory (智利领土). They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day.
56. It can be learned from the text that the island of Tristan da Cunha _______.
A. was named after its discoverer
B. got its name from Holland settlers
C. was named by the British government
D. got its name from the Guinness Book of Records
57. Which of the following is most famous for moai?
A. Tristan da Cunha. B. Pitcairn Island. C. Easter Island. D. St. Helena.
58. Which country does Easter Island belong to?
A. Britain. B. Holland. C. Portugal. D. Chile.

All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.
In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They drink tea with nothing in it .
Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special(特殊的) way of serving tea called a Tea ceremony(仪式). It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.
Another tea-drink country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “teatime”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot(茶壶) and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies and sandwiches at teatime.
In the United States people drink tea mostly(主要地) for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots. In summer, many Americans drink cold tea- “iced tea.” Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans（罐头）, like soda(汽水).

A. only in the evening at home

The fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected(影响) by color without knowing it. Salesman have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste ,and that cosmetics(化妆品)should never be packed in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology(心理学).
Some of our preferences(偏爱) are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people’s mind. People in bright red surroundings(环境) show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.
64. The passage tells us that salesmen have ___.
A. found out that colors affect sales
B. discovered the relationship between color and psychology
C. tried colors on blind people
D. developed a special subject of color psychology
65. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A. foods sell well in green or blue wrappings
B. blind people cannot see color differences
C. what color we prefer depends on our state of mind
D. a bright color was exactly the opposite effect to red
66. If people are exposed to(置身于)pure blue, _____.
A. their body pressure rises B. they won’t easily feel nervous
C. they want to taste blue foods D. they will feel like buying things
67. The most effective color in the passage for warning people is ____.
A. red B. bright yellow C. dark blue D. green
68. Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage?
A. Color and Feelings B. Colors and Sales
C. The Blind and Colors D. Preferences for Colors

Good Wishes, But Not Good Results
Tom is a kind–hearted boy. One day he was walking along the road when he saw a well uncovered. He thought it was very dangerous to passers–by, so he decided to cover the well. The cover was so heavy that he took great trouble to remove it. At last he managed to cover the well.
When he turned back and was about to leave, he heard someone knocking at the cover. So he had to turn back and moved the cover away. To his surprise, a worker came out with a tool in his hand. He was repairing something inside.

(Text 10)
There are two main reasons why the temperature of the air is always changing. One reason is that the air around you moves in from somewhere else. Air usually moves in large bodies called air masses. Some air masses move in from the north. These air masses usually have cold air that causes the temperature to drop. Air masses also move in from the south. They usually have warmer air that causes the temperature to rise.
Temperature changes during the day or night can be great or small. This depends partly on how many clouds are in the sky. When there are many clouds during the night, they act like the covers on your bed. They blanket the earth and keep the air from losing much of its heat. The temperature usually does not drop much during such a night. When there many clouds during the day, some of the sun’s energy will not reach the earth. The temperature usually does not rise much on such a day.
