My sisters and I used to play it for hours at a time.We had twenty-six small pieces of cardboard. On each of these we had printed a letter of the alphabet (字母表).Before we started to play, we decided what the game would be about. Let us imagine that we chose to play animals. One of us would then mix up (弄乱)the cards and turn over one of them. If the letter on the card happened to be C, we would try to think ， as quickly as possible ， of an animal which began with C ， such as cat ， cow ， camel and so on. The one who first gave the name of the animal received that card. This was done with each of the twenty-six cards. In the end the person who had the most cards won the game.26. Which of the following drawings is like the cardboard?27. How many cards do you need to win the game? A. All. B. Half. C. None. D. More than anyone else has.28. Why did the writer and her sisters like the game very much?A. It helped them to know more about animals.B. It helped them to remember the names of animals.C. They could learn something while they had a good time.D. They were working hard at English.BAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blind ness in some way. Women are luckier. Only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. So some people say it is safer to be driven by women.There are different forms of colour blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades (色调)of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.Colour blindness in humans is a strange thing to explain. In our eyes there are millions of very small things called "cones" . These help us to see in bright light and to tell differ ences between colours. There are also millions of " rods" ， but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but no colour.Some insects have favourite colours. Mosquitoes (蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract in sects ，but a blue lamp will. In a similar way humans also have favourite colours. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colours by day ， and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible (看不见的)colours around us.29. With the help of the cones, we can .A. see in a weak lightB. tell different shapesC. kill mosquitoesD. tell orange from yellow30. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer colour-blind women.C. All of them see everything in shades of green.D. None of them has trouble in recognizing(识别 ) colours.31. This passage is mainly about .A. colour and its surprising effectsB. danger caused by colour blindnessC. colour blindnessD. the invisible colours around usCDo you think there is too much noise in our city? If you live near an airport ， you will be unhappy because a plane often makes a loud noise. The sound of planes or heavy vehicles is likely to cause deafness if heard continuously (不断地).However, most people in our city do not seem to mind noise. They like to enjoy music when they are doing uninteresting jobs. It is a new danger because pop music, when played through powerful amplifiers (放大器)，can reach 120 decibels (分贝)at a distance of five feet. A continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness. It was discovered that many young people in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people.In the past we used to think that only workers in very noisy places would become deaf. For example, when news papers and books are being printed ， the noise level is over 85 decibels ， and some of the workers become deaf. Today ， how ever, scientists believe that 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise.Sometimes noise of less than 85 decibels can make some people tired and stressed. We all know that too much noise makes life difficult and unpleasant. It can do great harm to people's health and prevent people from working well. Work ers in noisy offices are not as efficient (效率高的)as those in quiet offices. Noise makes people less efficient. Can anything be done to reduce or control noise?In Britain the government has made several laws to reduce noise. Though the government has spent a lot of money in mak ing airports and main roads quieter, many people think that there are still not enough laws. For example ， there are no laws to control the noise of machines. In Japan, America and Nor way there are such laws. As a result, workers can be given compensation (赔偿)if they become deaf.32. Some workers become deaf because of .A. hard workB. a continuous noise of over 85 decibelsC. powerful amplifiersD. uninteresting jobs33. Noise below the level of 85 decibels .A. can affect some people' s moodsB. cannot do any harmC. can cause sudden deafnessD. can make office workers efficient34. In Britain there are laws to .A. stop workers from becoming deafB. control the noise of machinesC. keep down noiseD. help deaf workers in need35. Who can be given compensation if they become deaf?A. American workers.B. British workers.C. Both American workers and British workers.D. None of the above answers.DMary picked up a pencil and a piece of paper, saying, "Now ， you want to earn money for the autumn camping trip ， right?" Tom, her brother, nodded.
