In the 1960s, many young Americans were dissatisfied with American society. They wanted to end the Vietnam War and to make all the people in the U.S. equal. Some of them de tided to "drop out" of American society and form their own societies. They formed utopian communities, which they called "communes", where they could follow their philosophy of "do your own thing". A group of artists founded a commune in southern Colorado called "Drop City". Following the ideas of philosopher and architect Buckminster Fuller, they built dome- shaped house from pieces of old cars. Other groups, such as author Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters, the followers of San Francisco poet Steve Gaskin, and a group that called itself the Hog Farm, lived in old school buses and travelled around the United States. The Hog Farm became famous when they helped organize the Woodstock Rock Festival in 1969. Steve Gaskin's followers tried to settle down on a farm in Tenessee, but they had to leave when some members of the group were arrested for growing marijuana.
Not all communes believed in the philosophy of "do your own thing" however; Twin Oaks, a commune founded in Virginia in the late 1960s, was based on the ideas of psychologist B. F. Skinner. The people who lived at Twin Oaks were carefully controlled by Skinner's "conditioning" techniques to do things that were good for the community. In 1972,Italian architect Paolo Soleri began to build Arcosanti, a utopian city in Arizona where 2,500 people will live closely together in one large building called an "archaeology". Soleri believes that people must live closely together so that they will all become one.

A group of scientists rowing toward the center of a lake saw something shocking. They turned back as fast as they could. What had they seen.? The lake was boiling!
The group was investigating a crater lake in the mountains of St. Vincent. A crater lake is the mouth of a volcano that has been dormant for some time and has filled with water.
This particular crater was the tip of a volcano called Soufriere, which erupted last in 1902. Since that time, it had not shown any signs of action. But in the fall of 1971, mountain climbers who had hiked near the lake returned to the lowlands with strange stories. They said the water had turned yellow and was giving off a smell like burnt eggs. A seething fog was rising from the lake's surface.
Local scientists rushed to Soufriere to see if this might be the beginning of a new volcanic explosion. They found a huge black mass in the middle of the water. It was a great blob 1,000 feet long and 300 feet wide. Lava had pushed up through the bottom of the lake and formed a new island.
The investigators wanted to make sure that the volcano was safe, and that the lava would not over- flow into the surrounding countryside. But they could never reach the island to study it, because the lava was so hot that the water around it bubbled and boiled.

You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.
There are four basic types of blood; A, B, AB and O. A simple test can indicate a person's blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.
Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group, hence it is often called the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB sometimes called the universal recipient. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.
There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.

1. A good title for this passage is ______ .

A.Getting Blood and Plasma
B.Special Blood and Colors
C.Human Blood Types
D.The Blood Bank of a Hospital

通过上下文可知，hence这里就是“因此”的意思。

3. People with type A blood can receive ______ .

A.AB
B.B
C.O
D.None of the above

A B C D

根据句子“Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB”可以推论出，A可以接受A和O型的血。

4. If you need a transfusion, the best and safest blood for you is ______ .

A.type AB
B.exactly the same type as yours
C.a mixture of salt, plasma and type O
D.type A

A new kind of radar has been developed for spaceship travelers. A working laboratory model of a new system of radar that makes use of a beam of light is said to be ten thousand times more accurate than the best comparable system of radar that used microwaves.
The model has shown that this radar system, known as laser-doppler radar, can measure with absolute precision speeds varying from spaceship orbital injection (进入) velocities (速度) of five miles per second down to virtual stops—speeds of less than one ten thousandth of an inch per second. According to the scientists who are developing this system, such fine measures of velocity are of prime importance in space missions. In a rendezvous (对接) between two spaceships, or in a landing approach by a vehicle onto an orbiting space station, a bump could rip open a ship's skin, or a nudge could knock the station out of its orbit.
The light-beam radar, which operates at a frequency of trillions (百万兆) of cycles per second, could easily detect and measure the movement of a vehicle edging up to a satellite space station. A control system using so precise a signal as this would allow a huge vehicle to dock at a space station as lightly as a feather.

1. Laser-doppler radar ______.

A.measures the movements of a spaceship by means of light beam
B.makes use of microwaves
C.makes use of sound waves
D.Both A and B

A B C D

2. Laser-doppler radar is especially valuable in space missions because ______.

A.it is one thousand times more precise than microwave radar
B.it provides precise measures of the velocity of space vehicles
C.it is a new system of radar
D.it can measure the movement of a spaceship less accurately than a microwave radar

A B C D

3. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage ______.

A.accuracy in speed measurement is essential to spaceships
B.the speeds of space vehicles will vary
C.inaccuracies in measurement could cause accidents in space missions
D.a bump could affect the preciseness of the laser-doppler radar

A B C D

4. Implied but not stated is that ______.

A.laser-doppler radar is more accurate than microwave radar
B.microwave radar may not ensure absolute precision in measuring varying speeds
C.the light-beam radar can measure only slow speeds with accuracy
D.microwave radar operates at a higher frequency than laser-doppler radar

[参考范文]
During the summer holiday, 2002, I thought I should do something meaningful instead of enjoyable. I got a job at a fast food restaurant and worked there as a cleaner. I worked 7 hours a day for three weeks.
The job was hard and boring and seemed endless, which made me so tired that I nearly stopped it half way. After all, I stuck to it with determination. Every day I started off for work early in the morning and got home late in the evening.
Finally, I finished the job before the new school term began. Now, I understand what labor means. I think it is really a successful experience.
