C

  The next great land area that man hopes to control is the moon. In size it is nearly equal to the area of North and South America. However, it presents a hostile (不友好的) environment. Temperatures range +120 to -150 degrees Centigrade (攝氏). There is no air, and no water.

  Today there is considerable scientific speculation (思索) about living on the moon. When man will begin life on the moon surface is still not determined. But experts believe that settlement will take place in three steps. First, there will be increasing periods of exploration with temporary shelters (臨時(shí)住所). These periods will be followed by longer stays with housing under the surface of the moon and daily necessities brought by the settlers themselves from the earth. Finally, settlements that are self-supporting will be founded.

  The main job of the early settlers will be to stay alive. They will have to plant crops under huge domes (圓頂屋) to produce food and oxygen and find water sources. After this is done, the settlers will have time to explore the possibilities of commercial (商業(yè)的) development and to make discoveries important to science. The characteristics of the moon that make it bad for human staying alive may make it ideal for certain kinds of manufacturing (制造業(yè)). Operations requiring a vacuum (真空) or extreme cold are examples. Therefore, industrial diamonds might be produced on the moon.

64. The area of the moon is _________.

A. about the same as that of North and South America

B. larger than that of North and South America

C. hardly equal to that of North and South America

D. far smaller than that of North and South America

65. According to this passage, the settlement of the moon ________.

A.will soon be realized

B.can be done under the moon surface

C.is being experimented by many scientists

D. sounds entirely impossible

66. To stay alive on the moon, the early settlers must first of all be able to ________.

A. develop commerce

  B. get enough food, oxygen and water

  C. make discoveries important

  D. explore the possibilities of industrial development

67. Though the environment on the moon is bad for human staying alive, it is very good for ________.

A. making such things as industrial diamonds  

B. all kinds of manufactured goods

   C. medical operations                     

D. commercial development

It seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind.      

Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?

Taking all amateur（業(yè)余）and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list.    The game originated（起源于）in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or “association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.

     . It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.

       In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.

      . It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.

Table tennis, or “ping-pong, surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan.   

   . Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.

A. A famous French humorist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives.

B. It is called soccer in the United States

C. The next is rugby, which is called “football” in the United States

D. Tennis rates high on the list, too

E. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity

F. people often work out to build up their bodies.

G. not everyone likes ball games
