Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers(探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people expressed their surprise. “Why, they asked, “are you travelling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space? H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it. Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as *****, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “chunnel”, a tunnel(隧道)connecting England and France, is now complete. But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome(太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city. Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells “moon people” would agree. Would you? 56. The explorers in H.G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the “moon people” _____. A. knew so much about the earth. B. understood their language. C. lived in so many underground cities. D. were ahead of them in space technology. 57. What does the underlined word “it (paragraph 2) refer to? A. Discovering the moon’s inner space. B. Using the earth’s inner space. C. Meeting the “moon people” again. D. Travelling to outer space. 58. What sort of underground systems are already here with us? A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations. B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas. C. Gardens, car parks, power stations. D. Tunnels, gardens, offices. 59. What would be the best title for the text? A. Alice Cities—Cities of the Future B. Space Travel with H.G. Wells C. Enjoy Living Underground D. Building Down, not Up   B LONDON(Reuters)—Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food. “Organic product is always better,” Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides(农药), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally(本地) grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences—but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(进口) to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business. 60.

A. they are getting richer B. they can get the food anywhere C. they consider the food free of pollution D. they like home-grown fruit 61.

A. growing interest in organic food B. better quality of organic food C. rising market for organic food D. higher prices of organic food 63. What is the best title for this news story? A. Organic Food—Healthy, or Just for the Wealthy? B. The Making of Organic Food in Britain C. Organic Food—to Import or Not? D.

Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues(线索) found in a book when he wrote a children’s story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of 搑ed herrings, or
