Paris,London,Tokyo,Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known.The stock market,also called stock exchange,is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or a company.And each share means certain ownership of a factory or a company.Different people go to stock markets.Some are rich,who want to get more money than they have.Others are not very rich,who buy stocks and try to become rich.Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course,investing money in the stock markets is not the safest way to make money.No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well.The factory or company may do badly.Then the stocks will go down and investors will lose money.The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons.Everyone wants the stock to go up,but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job,the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling.All are eager to make money by“gambling”in the stock market.Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to gamble”.Indeed,the stock market is an attractive part of the business

market is not the safest way B After nearly a decade of planning,the Egyptian Government has announced an ambitious plan to build the world?s biggest museum devoted enti rely to exhibiting the ancient relics（文物）.Called the New Egyptian Museum,it will eventually house the largest collection of Pharaonic（法老的）monuments,including the solid gold death mask of Tutankhamun.King Nebkheperura Tutankhamun remains the most famous of all the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt.He lived over 3,300 years ago during the period known as the New Kingdom.The museum also will house more than120,000 antiquities（ancient arts）from the 4thmillennium（1,000 years）BC to the fall of the Roman Empire.For the first time,the entire 3,500 items from Tutankhamun?s tomb will be displayed.Permanent exhibitions will include the royal mummies of Ramses II and III and other pharaohs and a large quantity of collection of Pharaonic jewellery.Antiquities will be organized by theme rather than chronologically（编年地）.The four main themes will be:the land of Egypt;royalty and the state;arts of life and death;and scribes（文牍）and wisdom.With building costs estimated near US$311 million,funding for the new museum will come from corporate sponsorship and charitable（慈善的）donations.The Egyptian Government is expected to pay one third of the final bill.60._ will build the world?s biggest museum devoted entirely to exhibiting the ancient relics.A.The Egypt government B.A corporate body C.The charitable body D.The Egypt government and a corporate body 61.When you go into one exhibiting hall of the would-be museum,you?ll see _.A.all the exhibits are arranged by the year B.all the exhibits are arranged by theme C.more than 120,000 Egyptian antiquities are on show D.Pharaonic monuments of Tutankhamun and the royal relics

C.the Pharaonic monuments of Tutankhamun are the oldest relics D.the royal mummies of Ramses II and III and other pharaohs will be displayed for the second time 6 63.The best title of the passage

studying volcanoes for a long time.Though they have learned a great deal,they still have not discovered the causes of volcanic action.They know that the inside of the earth is very hot,but they are not sure exactly what causes the great heat.Some geologists have thought that the heat is caused by the great pressure of the earth?s outer layers.Or the heat may be left from the time when the earth was formed.During the last sixty years scientists have learned about radium,uranium,thorium,and other radioactive elements.These give out heat all the time as they change into other elements.Many scientists now believe that much of the heat inside the earth is produced by radioactive elements.Whatever the cause of the heat may be,we do know that the earth gets hotter the farther down we dig.In deep mines and oil wells the temperature rises about 1 for each 50 feet.At this rate the temperature 40 miles below the earth?s surface would be over 4000.this is much hotter than necessary to melt rook.However,the pressure of the rock above keeps most materials from melting at their usual melting points.Geologists believe that the rock deep in the earth may be plastic,or puttylike（似粘性材料）.In other words,the rock yields slowly to pressure nut is not liquid.But if some change in the earth?s crust releases the pressure,the rock melts.Then the hot,liquid rock can move up toward the surface.Where the melted rock works its way closed to the earth?s crust,a volcano may be formed.The melted rock often contains steam and other gases under great pressure.If the rock above gives way,the pressure is released.Then the sudden expansion of the gases causes explosions.These blow the melted rock into pieces of different sizes and shoot them high in the air.Here they cool and harden into volcanic ash and cinders（灰烬）.Some of this material falls around the hole made in the earth?s surface.The melted rock may keep on rising and pour out as lava（岩浆）.In this way,volcanic ash,cinders,and lava build up the cone-shaped（锥形的）mountains that we call volcanoes.64.The subject of this passage is the _.A.formation of volcanoes B.results of volcanic action C.interior of the earth D.causes of the earth?s internal heat 65.The cause for the heat in the interior of the earth is probably _.A.radioactive elements B.the great pressure of the earth C.not determined D.the heat remaining from the formation of the earth 66.From the information given in the passage,most minerals would melt fastest _.A.at 4000 at sea level B.at 4000,5000 feet below sea levelC.in the absence of oxygen D.at the exact center of the earth at 400067.If the temperature at the earth?s surface is 20 the temperature in a coal mine 500 feet below the surface would,in degrees,be _.A.40 B.30 C.50 D.120
