In the early 1900s all women wore their skirts down to the ankle. Today, skirt length varies from floor-length to ten inches above the knee. Womens shoes have also gone through all sorts of changes in the last seventy years. For example, boots for women were very common at the beginning of last century. Then, for years, they were not considered fashionable. Today they are back in style again in all colors, lengths, and materials. In fact, todays women can wear all types of clothes-even T-shirts and shorts on almost any occasion. While all of these changes were taking place in womens fashions, mens clothing remained pretty much the same until a couple of years ago. And ,in fact, most men still wear the traditional:suit jacket, shirt, tie though bright colors, patterns, and a variety in cut are now more common.67.

TV Turnoff week started in 1995 and is more popular every year. Many people discover that you can have a good time with the TV off. If that sounds crazy to you, just have a look at some numbers: -An American teenager spends 900 hours every year at school; the same teenager spends 1,023 hours every year watching TV. Thats 2 hours 49 minutes every day. -An average(平均) British person (not just teenagers) watches 3 hours 35 minutes every day. -In the US, most TV has adverts. American children see 20,000 adverts every year. By age 65, an American has seen two million ads! But some research from Britain says that may not be a problem. The London Business School watched people carefully during TV adverts and they discovered that people dont watch a lot of the ads. The researchers discovered that the most common activity during the adverts was walking to the other people in the room. Many other people started reading or doing housework or changed channels during adverts. They only really watched them about 25 percent of the time.70. During TV Turnoff week, many people dont .A. watch TVB. change channelsC. watch advertsD. do their school work71. From the passage we can learn that .A. American children see more adverts on TV than their parentsB. British people spend more than 3 hours a day in front of their TVC. Researches noticed that most people changed channels during adsD. An American teenager spends more time at school than watching TV72. The writers purpose is .A. to advise us to spend less time on TVB. to tell us how to avoid watching advertsC. to show us how many adverts American TV hasD. to ask us to turn off TV during TV Turnoff weekC Lets suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different. Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010s. At a number of scenery spot (风景胜地) on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old. What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants. Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earths surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pets(害虫). The harvest is always good. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers. People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they dont eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more. Such would be our life in 2060.73. What will be on the moon in 2060 according to the passage?A. Many green plants.B. Many wild animals.C. Many interesting places.74.

He is not very satisfied with some things of the future.C. He seems really sad about what is happening in the future.D Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often enjoy happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problem. Many people experience dancing or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elder person, or simply help around the house by washing the dishes.78. The second paragraph tells us that .A. we shouldnt think about our futureB. some people fail to live a happy lifeC. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in lifeD. the more friends you have, the happier you will be79. The passage gives us pieces of advice on happiness.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four80. Wh
