Passage 1
Questions 6-20 are based on the following passage．
(76) Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable,whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present． You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower． Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings． The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible,although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book． You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment--without buying a book, of course．
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop． There are not many places where it is possible to do this． A music shop is very much like a bookshop． You can wander round such places to your heart's content． If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with inevitable greeting: "Can I help you, sir?" You needn't buy anything you don't want． In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing, then, and only then, are his services necessary． Of course you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book．
You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop． It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing--something that had only vaguely interested you up until then． This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it． This sort of thing can be very dangerous． Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section．
"Dust-jacket" in the first paragraph probably means __________
A．a kind of clothes
B．protecting paper cover of a book
C．book cover full of dust
D．the title of a book
7、 You may spend too much time in a bookshop because __________
A．the dust-jackets of some books are very attractive
B．you start reading one of the books
C．it is raining outside
D．you have to make sure you don't buy a dull book as a present
8、 In a good bookshop __________
A．nobody notices you
B．the assistant greets you in a friendly way
C．you feel as if you were in a music shop
D．you find yourself satisfied with browsing
9、 An assistant's help is needed __________
A．the moment you have entered the shop
B．before you start browsing
C．only when you have finished browsing
D．when you have made your choice
10、 Picking up books that vaguely interest you can be dangerous because __________
A．you may forget about the book you plan to buy
B．you have to give up the best-selling book
C．it makes you break your appointment
D．it costs you too much money and time
11、Questions11-25 are based on the following passage．
Most of us are used to seasons． Each year, spring follows winter, which follows autumn, which follows summer, which follows spring． And winter is colder than summer． But the earth goes through temperature cycles over much longer perio~ds than those that we experience． Between 65,000 and 35,000 years ago, the planet was much colder than it is now． During that time the temperature also changed a lot, with periods of warming and cooling． Ice melted duringthe warm periods, which made sea levels rise． Water froze again during the cold periods．
(77) A new study from Switzerland sheds light on where ice sheets melted during the ice age． It now seems that the ice melted at both ends of the earth, rather than just in either northemor southern regions．
age． It now seems that the ice melted at both ends of the earth, rather than just in either northern
or southern regions．
This surprised the researchers from the University of Bern． (78) Scientists have long assumed that most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere (半球) during the 30,000-year long ice age． That belief was held because the North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean． It is easier for ice sheets to grow on land． If surrounded by sea the ice can easily just slip into the ocean instead of building up．
The researchers used a computer model to look at ways the ice could melt and how it might affect sea levels． They compared these results to evidence of how temperatures and currents actually changed during that time． The model showed that if it was only in the Northern hemisphere that ice melted, there would have been a bigger impact (影响）on ocean currents (洋流) and sea temperatures than what actually happened． Studies suggest that melting just in the Southern hemisphere would have been impossible, too． The only reasonable conclusion, the scientists could make, was that ice melted equally in the North and the South．
It is still a mystery as to what caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt．
The North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounded by the Antarctic Ocean． So scientists thought that __________
A．most of the ice melted in the Northern hemisphere
B．most of the ice melted in the Southern hemisphere
C．The North Pole is colder than the South Pole
D．The South Pole is colder than the North Pole
12、 We can infer from the passage __________
A．the ice can easily just slip into the ocean
B．volcanoes caused the ice to melt
C．melting just in the Northern hemisphere would have been impossible
D．researchers often use the computer models help their research work
13、 The scientists are not sure__________
A．how long the ice age lasted
B．where ice sheets melted during the ice age
C．what caused the temperature changes
D．what the earth is made up of
14、 Which of the following is the best title for the passage ?
A．A computer model
B．Studies show ice melted equally in the North and the South during the ice age
C．Most of the ice melted in the Northern hemisphere during the 30，000-year long ice age
D．A survey result
15、 Between 65，000 and 35，000 years a90，__________．
A．the temperature changed a lot
B．the earth was much warmer than it is now
C．winter isn’t colder than summer
D．most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere during the 30，000-year long ice age
