  If was not until one hundred and fifty years ago that scientists learned about the existence of dinosaurs (恐龙). Thanks to an English doctor and his wife, the door was opened to this zoological study. Reasoning that the reptiles’ (爬行动物) huge size must have made them terrible creatures, scientists combined two Greak words, “deimos”, meaning “terrible” , and “sauros” , meaning “lizards’ , to form the word “dimosaur”.

   After many years of study, they determined that these beasts roamed the earth for millions of years, and ceased to exist some sixty million years ago.

  Unbelievable as it may seem , not all dinosaurs were carnivorous, that is, meat eating. Many were herbivorous, or vegetarians. 

  By reassembling the bones found at excavation (发掘) sites, scientists have been able to reconstruct the skeletons (骨架) and ;earn a great deal about the dinosaurs’ living conditions. They have learned that dinosaurs inhabited not only the land, but also the water and sky.

63.  What is the passage mainly about?

A.     The mane of the dinosaur.

B.     The food of dinosaurs.

C.     The living conditions of dinosaurs.

D.     The existence of dinosaurs millions of years ago

64.  When do scientists believe that the last of the dinosaurs disappeared?

A.  150 thousand years ago.     B.  60 million years ago.

C.  16 million years ago.       D.  150. million years ago.

65.  How have scientists been able to learn of the living conditions of these animals?

A.      By digging at the excavation sites.

B.  By reconstructing skeletons.

C.  By observing them closely.

D.  By living with them.

66.  Which of the following is NOT true or these animals?

A.  Scientists have studied them for centuries.

B .  They were meat eating as well as plant eating.

C.  They wandered the earth for millions of years.

D.  They lived on land, in the sea, and in the sky.

67.  What does the under lined word “inhabited” mean?

A. walked    B. wandered      C. lived in     D. found out

D

  Although many people probably do not know this, English is not the official language of the United States. The official language is not Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Japanese or Creole either, although those languages are all common. Which is the official language, then? There is none!

  Unofficially, there are large immigrant communities on the United States where languages other than English are dominant. Street signs in Miami are in Spanish and English. In New York, they might be translated into six or seven languages. In California, you can take a driver’s license exam in 35 different languages.

 Some people think that this multilingual situation is bad. They think that all of these different languages divide the country and that declaring English to be the official language would unite the country. Others think. However, that all of the different languages and cultures in the United Stats make it a great place to live, and that making English the official language would isolate (孤立) and exclude immigrants, not unite the country.  

68. The purpose of this text is to _________.

A.     show the popularity of Spanish language in America.

B.     explain English is not the official language of America    

C.     show support to English to be the official language of America

D.     show the disadvantage of too many languages in America

A. basically the same               B. opposite to each other.

C. supporting each other.           D. Not related.

  You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting mew blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.

  There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB and O. A simple test can show a person’s blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood . Blood type, like hair color and height, is received from parents.

. Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence, it is often called the universal donor (供血者). For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient (受血者). However, because so many reactions can happen in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (血浆) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to keep away from any bad actions to the transfusion.

  There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.

71.A good title for this selection is ____________.

A.     Getting Blood and Plasma

B.     Special Blood Color

C.     Human Blood Types

D.     The Relationship Between Your Blood Type and Your Nationality

72.The word “hence” in the third paragraph means _____________.

A. always    B. often     C. sometimes    D. therefore

73. The author suggests that the third most common blood type in Europe is _________.

   A. A         B.B        C.AB         D.O
74. People with type A blood can receive ______________.

   A.AB        B.B        C.O         D. None of the above

75. If you need a transfusion, the best and safest blood for you is _________.

A. type AB                     B. type B  

C. exactly the same type as yours   D. a mixture of salt, plasma, and type O
