　　In the old days, divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships, but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.

　　One famous sunken ship is the “Lusitania”, which sank off the southern coast of Irelin 1915 with a loss of nearly, 1,500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $ 300,000 or more. The ship lying on the sea-bed has been brought by a man called John Light. He paid about $ 1,200,000 for the whole ship.

　　Passage Two

　　Man’s first real invention, one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation every machine in the world depend on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature—no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.

　　It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick. This would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter easier to handle. Thus the wheel axle came into being with them the first carts.

Passage Three

　　Eating in space is different from eating on earth. The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat. Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship the astronaut puts the water back. He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.

　　Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There an be no crambs. Crambs would float around the spaceship get in the way. Meat cake often come in bite-sized pieces. Astronauts can’t drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth. Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must learn to eat this way.

　　71. Some space foods are carried in _______.

　　Astronauts have to go hungry in a spaceship.

　　Passage Four

　　The energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction, only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower (马力) per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every miunte as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, it is our final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating affects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar engine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly efficient, in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.

　　76. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?

　　A. 100% but indirectly. B. 5%.

　　C. 50%. D. only a very tiny amount.

　　77. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that ______.

　　only a very small part is available the sun is too distant from the earth

　　it takes thousands of years for this energy to be stored up in coal oil

　　our scientific knowledge is not sufficient

　　78. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

　　Even windmill’s action depends on the sun.

　　The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of.

　　Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.

　　The sun produces different heating effects in different places.

　　79. In order to support this argument, the writer gives the example that _______.

　　a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developed

　　the sun is our final source of power

　　man uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energy

　　the part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly

　　80. This passage centers mainly on ________.

　　harnessing energy through chemistry

　　our last source of power

　　how water power is produced

　　the amount of solar energy that can be utilized

　　Passage Two

　　Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hat the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.

　　Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics, they can become shorter thicker; they can stretch; they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.

　　More than half of a person’s body is composed of muscle fibers, most of which are involuntary—in other words, work without conscious direction.
