Nick Campbell sat at the side of the road and wondered what to do next.He looked at the secondhand Harley Davidson he’d bought from a backstreet garage back home in Miami at the beginning of his trip six weeks before.
For years he had dreamt of crossing the United States from east to west by motorbike and he’d finally decided that it was now or never.He’d given up his job，sold his car and set off for the journey of his dreams.He’d been lucky，or so he thought，to find this old Harley Davidson and had bought it for a very reasonable price—it had cost him just $600.But five kilometres from Atlanta，he had run out of luck.The motorbike had broken down.
He pushed the bike into town and found a garage.The young mechanic told him to leave the bike overnight and come back the next day.The following morning，to his surprise，the man asked if the bike was for sale.‘Certainly not，’ he replied，paid his bill and hit the road.
When he got to Kansas the old machine ran out of steam again.This time Nick thought about selling it and buying something more reliable，but decided to carry on.When the bike was going well，he loved it.
However，in Denver，Colorado the bike broke down again so he decided to take it to a garage and offer it for sale.The mechanic told him to come back in the morning.
The next day，to his amazement，the man offered him $2,000.Realising the man must be soft in the head，but clearly not short of money，Nick asked for $3,000.The man agreed and they signed the papers.Then the mechanic started laughing.In fact it was several minutes before he could speak and when he could he said，“That’s the worst deal you’ll ever make，boy.”
He removed the seat.On the underside was the inscription (铭文)：
‘To Elvis，love James Dean.’

In the year 480 BC the Greek allies (联军) faced invasion by the King of Persia，Xerxes，who commanded a huge army of about half a million men.When the Persian army marched into northern Greece，the Greek states，led by Athens and Sparta，were ill equipped to deal with the threat.The Persians were well supplied with food and weapons.Their army included infantry，cavalry，and a large navy.It seemed that they would easily defeat the Greeks.
The Greek allies decided to send 10,000 men northwards to slow down the Persians，while the rest prepared to defend their homelands.A group of 300 best Spartan soldiers were chosen to lead the force going north，with Leonidas in command.Leonidas realised that the only hope of slowing the Persians would be to block the narrow passage of land at Thermopylae.The Pass of Thermopylae was the route between the mountains and the sea，and was so narrow that only a few men could get through at a time.
When the Persian army arrived at Thermopylae，they found Leonidas’ tiny army opposing them.The Persians attacked，but could not get through.They attacked again and again，but each time they were driven back by the Greeks，led by the fearless Spartans.Leonidas’plan worked well until a Greek traitor called Ephialtes went to Xerxes.He told the Persian king about a goat’s path in the mountains that would take the Persian army past Thermopylae.When Leonidas saw the enemy crossing the mountains，he realised that he could no longer hold Thermopylae.He sent all the Greek soldiers except the 300 Spartans back to their homelands.
The Spartans waited for the 500,000 Persians at the goat’s path.Although hopelessly outnumbered，the Spartans fought bravely.They all died，but the other Greeks were able to get home to strengthen the defences.
36．Compared with the Persian army，the Greek allies were very______.

C．it was a secret pass unknown to the Persians
D．a huge number of soldiers could be stationed there
38．Why did Leonidas send most of his soldiers back to their homelands?
A．Because their homelands were under attack.
B．Because he found they were not brave enough.
C．Because the Persians gave up attacking Thermopylae.
D．Because he found it impossible to hold Thermopylae.
39．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Leonidas was a great commander.
B．The Persians failed to pass Thermopylae.
C．Ephialtes betrayed his own country.
D．The 300 Spartans would be regarded as heroes by the Greeks.
40．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

None of our early ancestors could digest milk as adults because their bodies never had to—milk drinking simply wasn’t an option.As people began to extract milk from animals，though，some people developed the ability to keep drinking it throughout their lives.
Scientists now know of a milkrelated mutation (变异) in our genes—the chemical instructions for life that we carry in almost every cell in our bodies.People who have a mutated form of one particular gene can drink milk just fine.People without the mutation tend to get sick from milk.
To figure out where，and possibly why，milk drinking started，some scientists have been looking at who has the milkdigesting mutation today.Patterns are striking.
Most adults in Northern and Central Europe are able to digest milk—and they do.Cheese，butter and other dairy products are popular in countries such as Sweden，Denmark，Germany and England.Because European settlers dominated North America，most people here can handle milk just fine，as well.That may explain why ice cream is such a popular dessert in the United States.
In much of Africa，Asia and South America，on the other hand，people tend to avoid dairy products because they lead to diarrhea (腹泻) and other stomach problems.(That’s why you won’t typically find cheese on the menu at a Chinese，Japanese or Ethiopian restaurant.) Native Americans are also unable to digest milk.
Based on these genetic patterns，scientists have long thought that milk drinking started in Northern Europe，where dairy is an institution and the milkdigesting mutation is everywhere.
A recent study painted a different picture.With a computer model，Thomas and colleagues looked at the spread of the milkdrinking mutation，farming and other related factors.Working backward，the scientists concluded that the first milkdrinkers lived in Central Europe around what’s now Hungary about 7,500 years ago.The practice didn’t start farther north，as scientists had thought before.
41．Which of the following is the proper order of events according to the passage?
a．Their children were able to digest milk as adults.
b．They got sick from the milk.
c．Some people got a mutation in their genes.
d．Some people tried drinking milk from animals.
e．Some people started to drink milk from animals on a regular basis.
A．c→d→b→e→a B．d→e→b→c→a
C．d→b→e→c→a D．e→b→d→c→a
42．Most people in the USA can digest milk because________.
A．they have strong stomachs
B．their ancestors were Europeans
C．that’s where milk drinking started
D．farmers raise a lot of cows there
43．Which of the following is LEAST likely to appear on the menu in a Japanese restaurant?
A．Butter. B．Vinegar. C．Fish. D．Beef.
44．Which of the following is the author most likely to agree with?
A．Milk drinking first started in Northern Europe.
B．Milk drinking first started in Central Europe.
C．North American Indians were able to digest milk.
D．Dairy products are very popular in North Korea.
45．The main focus of the scientists’research was________.
A．mutation of human genes
B．development of the human stomach
C．why milk drinking started
D．where milk drinking first started
