Messages can be sent across the land by the electric telegraph(电报); but you cannot put up a line of telegraph posts across the sea. Messages can be sent across the ocean by radio or by cable(电缆). The cable lies at the sea bottom and it has to have very good insulation(绝缘). If any part of it is weak, the water will get through and stop all signals(信号).
The first cable under the sea was between England and France. It was laid in 1851. In 1851 engineers tried to lay a cable across the Atlantic Ocean, but they met a lot of difficulties. Halfway across the Atlantic the cable broke, and the ship that was laying it had to return.
Kelvin advised that another cable should be laid. It was made ready, and put on board a big ship. Kelvin and his friends traveled with it and after many days of hard work, they reached America without breaking the cable. Kelvin himself sent the first message by cable from America to Britain. But only 732 messages were sent through this cable before it broke.
The next cable was laid in 1866, and this time there were no problems. The ship that laid it was the Great Eastern, one of the strongest ships that have ever been built. It was driven by powerful engines and also by sails.
51. The undersea cable must be strong enough to prevent __________ getting through.
A. fish B. water C. ships D. signals
52. The undersea cable laid in 1851 was between __________.
A. England and France B. England and America
C. America and France D. America and Britain
53. From the passage we learn that __________.
A. messages could be sent by undersea cable in 1851
B. Kelvin’s cable broke halfway across the Ocean
C. the Great Eastern was as strong as other ships
D. it was difficult to lay the first cable under the sea

The Romans built great aqueducts to carry fresh water from the mountains to the cities. Many of these aqueducts are still standing today. The Romans also built great pipes under the ground to carry away the dirty water. In Rome, one of these pipes is still used today; it is 2,000 years old. The Roman Emperors even set up a government health service. They built the first great public hospitals in Europe, and they paid doctors to look after poor people.
Then the Roman Empire(罗马帝国) fell to pieces. These civilized(文明的) methods of treatment disappeared from most of Europe for more than a thousand years. People went back to the old ways. They lived in dirty conditions which helped to cause diseases, and they asked God to cure the disease.
But the work of the Greek(希腊的)and Roman doctors was not lost. Over a thousand years ago, the Arabs(阿拉伯人)moved into many of the Mediterranean countries. They took big parts of the old Roman lands. They translated the Greek and Roman medical books into Arabic. Arab doctors themselves made many new discoveries. When civilization at last came back to Europe, men once again translated the Greek and Roman works on medicine into Latin(拉丁文). Slowly, very slowly, European doctors discovered again the things that the Greeks and Romans had known so long ago. Slowly, they began to make new discoveries. They found out more about the way the body works.

七、阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。(共8分,每小题2分)
Forgetful President
George Washington was the first president of the United States. 61 But it seems that the president was not a perfect person.
A New York library recently found that Washington borrowed two books from the library in 17. 62 If he were still alive, he would have to pay the library $300,000 in fines (罚款), for it has been late for over 220 years.
On October 5, 17, George Washington went to the New York Society Library. 63 He didn’t sign his name in the borrower’s book. He just wrote “President” to show who had taken them out.
The two books should have been brought back a month later, but they were never returned. Workers at the library realized the books were missing when they organized the library’s old records. The New York Society Library doesn’t expect anyone to pay the fine.
A. It’s said that he never told a lie.
B. He then borrowed the books from it.
C. However, he didn’t return them on time.
D. But it hopes that someone will return the books.
E. He kept the books, because he didn’t finish reading them.
八、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分,每小题2分)
Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Products(产品)are not produced in a “green” way and people haven’t realized the importance of buying and using environment-friendly products. These lead to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of waste like glass, paper and plastics is produced. The waste problem is difficult to deal with.
However, today, more and more people are choosing “green” and expecting that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this soap be bad for the environment?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
Over 20,000 people took part in a web survey(调查)on buying environment-friendly products. Among them, 8,129 people say that they now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. That is to say, companies must change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that the products are “green”.
A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products their main selling point in advertising.
The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. The public will no longer accept the old idea of “buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” As a result, the companies have to take action.
65. Is it easy to deal with the waste problem?
_____________________________________________________________________
66. What do more and more people consider before they buy products?
_____________________________________________________________________
67. In the survey, how many people prefer green products now?
_____________________________________________________________________
68. Is it possible or impossible to get green products in the supermarket now?
_____________________________________________________________________
69. Why do the companies have to reconsider how to do business and take action?
_____________________________________________________________________
