Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress(紧张) helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.
Are we underemployed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure(闲暇) in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?
All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and bring our frustrations(沮丧，挫败) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health better than shoes who bottle up their feelings.
If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible “Don’t let the sun go down upon your wrath(愤怒)” is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religions(宗教，信仰).
65. Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. Freedom from responsibilities helps relieve(减轻) stress.
B. Stress is the direct cause of cancer.
C. The cause of stress are worthy of serious study.
D. Cancer is the number one killer in our society today.
66. According to the text, which of the following people is more likely to suffer from stress?
A. People who have cancer.
B. People who like to quarrel with others.
C. People whose living standard is low.
D. People who have more responsibilities than they can handle.
67.The word “row” in the third paragraph most probably means          .
A. a noisy quarrel                       B. a very loud noise
C. a neat line of things side by side         D. a journey in a boat
68. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?
A. Changing our jobs.
B. Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.

It seems that great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems. Both Einstein and Dickens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius are linked.
Dr Adele Juda studied 5,000 creative people in Germany. She found there were more people with mental illness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate of mental illness, followed by musicians, with lower numbers for painters and architects.
Other scientists did research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creativity. But, it did nothing to explain it.
Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough. Instead of studying creative people, she took a group of psychiatric (精神病的) patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got much higher scores than a normal group.
Also, the patients’ close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group. This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes (基因).
But this is a problem. According to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed. Some scientists believe that evolution (进化) has created a balance, where the madness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race.
Geniuses(天才人物) may be mad, bad or just difficult to understand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in. It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all.
67. According to Dr Adele Juda, which of the following has the lowest rate of mental illness?
A. Painters B. Musicians C. Poets D. Bus drivers
68. The underlined phrase “make a breakthrough” in the 4th paragraph means “ ___________ ”.
A. discover or find something new and important.

69. Based on the research of Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University, we can conclude that .______
A. great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems
B. the patients’ close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group
C. psychiatric patients have more creativity than the average people
D. it is our genes that determine the link between creativity and mental illness
70. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Among the 5,000 creative Germans, more people suffer from mental diseases.
B. There is a strong link between mental problems and creativity.
C. Psychiatric patients make greater contributions than common people.
D. The key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes.

Today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motorway. But still there is a danger that grows every year. Airliners get larger and larger. Some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. And the air itself becomes more and more crowded. If one large airliner struck into another in mid-air, 600 lives could be lost.
From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident.
Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto, the other 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.
63. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Traveling by air is as safe as by car.
B. Traveling by air is not as safe as by car.
C. Traveling by car is as dangerous as by air.
D. Traveling by car is more dangerous than by air.
64. The air traffic controllers of an airport ____________ .
A. control all the planes flying near the airport
B. give orders to planes leaving the airport
C. only deal with the planes that want to land there
D. are ordered to handle 2500 planes a day in England
65. The danger of air crashes grows every year because ___________ .
A. airliners are getting larger and air traffic is becoming heavier
B. a pilot does not always hear a controller’s order
C. a controller is likely to make more and more mistakes
D. airports can hardly serve the growing number of airplanes
66. The example in the passage is to show that _________________ .
A. air traffic controllers are often careless
B. air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidents
C. it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidents
D. two planes should not fly too close to each other

The desire to make explorations is born with man. Wherever his imagination goes, man also has a strong wish to go. A large part of human history is connected with the exploration of the world in which we live. Again and again people have set out with surprising courage and patience to look into unknown regions(地区) and lands to see what had not yet been seen. With kites, balloons and aircraft they left the ground to pass through the lower atmosphere. Now the outer space receives their attention.
Why should man take the trouble of(不怕麻烦) conquering(征服) space? It is hard to list the specific practical benefits that will result in. But one knows, from past experience in other areas, that man will surely see and discover new things in space that will increase our scientific knowledge, and this new knowledge will find its way into valuable practical uses. What we learn about man himself, from his experience in space, and from the effects of space and the space flight environment on him, will be extremely valuable. The new techniques developed to carry out the exploration of space, and to keep man alive in space, will certainly find practical uses in everyday life in some way. The areas that will benefit are manifold.They include communication, transportation and travel, food production, materials, fuels and many others. But to say definitely(肯定地) just what the practical results will be is almost impossible.
59．The man idea of the first paragraph is that________.
A．man desires to explore what is unknown
B．man often goes wherever his dreams go
C．man is no longer interested in the study of the land and sea now
D．man’s history is his exploration of the world
60．The underlined word "manifold" in the second paragraph probably means________.
A．vast B．various C．valuable D．practical
61．The author seems to be in favor of (赞成)________.
A．doubting the necessity of the space exploration
B．the exploration of space
C．exploring more in space than in other areas
D．his experiencing in space
62．In the last sentence of paragraph 2 the phrase "practical results" refers to the results___________.
A．that are gained from experience
B．that can be learned as knowledge
C．that can benefit us human beings
D．that help us make further exploration
