Of the 54 big cities studied by the World Health Organization and the United Nations, Milan was considered to have the worst air pollution.According to these two 10-year studies, the level of air pollution in Milan is twice as high as the levels in Paris and Beijing and three times those in Tokyo and London, and four times that in New York.The reason for Milans bad pollution, according to experts is that the city is situated in a valley that holds back the poisonous gases.Though Milan has taken some measures to lower the level of pollution, the situation is still worrying. People joke to each other, “If youre travelling to Milan, be sure to bring your gas mask (防毒面具).”61) Which of the following correctly shows the level of air pollution in Milan?62) Why is the air pollution in Milan so serious?aBecause the city lies in a place where it is difficult for polluted air to move away.bBecause too many cars are being driven in the city.cBecause the city lies in a place where there are some mountains near it.dBecause Milan has taken some worrying measures.(B)To discover whether bees can see colors, the following experiment is set up. A table is put in a garden, and on the table is a piece of blue cardboard with a drop of syrup (溏浆) on it. After a short time, bees come to the syrup. The bees then fly to their hive (蜂窝) and give the syrup to other bees in the hive. Then they return to the feeding-place which they have discovered. After a while, the blue cardboard with the syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue card is now put on the left side of the first feeding-place and a red card to its right. These new cards have no syrup on them. Thus, the blue card is on the left, the red card on the right, and there is nothing where the first blue feeding-card used to be. Very soon bees arrive again, and fly straight to the blue card. None go to the red card.63) To do the experiment, altogether how many cards do you need to prepare?aTwo, one blue and on red.bThree, two blue and one red.cThree, one blue and two red.dFour, two blue and two red.64) If figure I below shows the table top during step 1 of the experiment, which picture in figure 2 represents （代表）step 2 ?65) During step 2 of the experiment, the bees come to _ .athe original (原来的) blue card with syrup on itbthe new blue card with no syrup on itcthe empty space where the original blue card was.dthe new blue card with syrup on it.66) The experiment has proved that bees _.acannot see colors bcan see colorsccannot see blue dcannot see red(C)In 19th century England people liked to go to the seaside. In those days, ladies wore long bathing dresses, and men wore bathing suits. Women did not walk about on the beach in their bathing dresses. They hired a bathing machine. A bathing machine was used for changing in, and for taking the bather down to the sea. It cost 2 pence to hire a machine and an attendant (侍者). When she had paid, the bather climbed up the back steps and got into the bathing machine. Then she changed into her bathing dress. When she had changed, the machine was pulled down to the sea. The bathing machine stopped in the water and the bather went down the front steps into the water. If she did not want to get into the sea, the attendant pulled her in.67) A 19th century English lady bathing in the sea would would wear something like.68) Who used the bathing machine?aWomen bathers.bBoth men and women bathers.cBathers who couldnt swim.dBathers who couldnt walk.69) A bathing machine was mainly used for _.agiving the bather a pleasure ride on the beachbgiving the bather some exercise before getting into the watercprotecting the bather from catching cold from the sea winddprotecting the bather from being seen in a bathing dress out of water70) In the 19th century people who used the bathing machine usually did the following things.

Now here is the answer.In modern times, the middle part of cinema film has lots of small photographs, each one of which is different from the one before it. Each photograph is brought in front of a strong light, and there it stops for a very small part of a second. This photograph, therefore, appears on the screen, and we see it. Then the light is covered and the next photograph is moved to the position in front of the strong light. Meanwhile, the metal cover turns away from the light. Thus, the second photograph is shown on the screen. This is done again and again, twenty-four times a second, and we think we are watching a moving picture on the screen. But nothing on the screen actually moves, “The moving picture” is in fact made of a lot of bits. We see about 86,400 different pictures every hour, but none of them moves.The voices, noises and music are recorded on the side of the cinema film. The record looks like marks of strange shapes. The side of the film passes in front of another light, and the rays of light which pass through change as the marks change. These marks have been made from the voices and other sounds of the people and events (事件) in front of the cinema camera. When the film is being made, The marks may be considered as “printed sounds.”71) When a film is shown, each photograph appears on the screen for _.aOne twenty-third of a secondbOne twenty-fourth of a secondca pat of a seconddOne twenty-fifth of a second72) We see pictures moving on the screen because _.awe see about 86,400 different pictures every hourbeach picture is a little different from the one before itcphotographs change quicklydboth b and c73) A cinema film is made
