Unlike modern animal scientists, dinosaur scientists cannot sit on a hillside and use telescopes to watch dinosaurs in order to know how they lived and whether they were good parents. Instead, they have to search hard for information from dinosaurs’fossils(恐龙化石)because dinosaurs died out millions of years ago.
It’s very difficult for the scientists to reach an agreement because different results can be got from the same fossils, Many fossils of the same kind of dinosaurs have been dug out from one place. They might have formed when an entire group of dinosaurs got stuck(焰人)all at once, or they might have been the result of dinosaurs getting stuck one after another over a course of a few centuries . Thus we can say that dinosaurs might have in the first case lived in big groups and in the second lived alone.
Though there are two different results, dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds of dinosaurs lived in big groups. “That’s pretty much settled at this point.” says Paul Sereno. A kind of dinosaurs called Sauropods left behind tracks in the western United States that appear to run north and south, suggesting that they even moved long distances together.
As to whether dinosaurs cared for their young, dinosaur scientists have turn to the closest living relatives of dinosaurs — birds and crocodiles — for possible models. Birds give a lot of care to their young, while crocodiles just help their young to the water. The discovered fossils of dinosaurs sitting on their eggs and staying with their young suggest the parents were taking care of their babies, but we still cannot say that all dinosaurs did the same.
There is still along way to go before the above questions could be answered. Dinosaur scientists will have to find more proof to reach an agreement.
60. Dinosaur scientists can get information directly by _____.
答案：A
A. studying dinosaur fossils
B. examining modern animals
C. watching dinosaurs
D. using telescopes
61. What is pretty much settled according to Paul Sereno?
答案：D
A. Half of the dinosaurs lived alone.
B. Most dinosaurs moved long distances.
C. Many dinosaurs settled in the north.
D. Some dinosaurs lived in big groups.
62. Dinosaur scientists can probably know whether dinosaurs were good by _____.
答案：B
A. watching many kinds of animals
B. studying dinosaur’s living relatives
C. following the tracks left behind
D. working on dug-out dinosaur eggs
63. Which of the following is true according to the 4th paragraph?
答案：C
A. Birds hardly pay attention to their young.
B. Baby crocodiles can look after themselves well.
C. Some dinosaurs took care of their young.
D. Birds and crocodiles take good care of their young.
C
Department stores sell ready-to-wear clothing, which is also called ready-made clothing. Such clothing is made in fixed sizes. Those people who find that ready-made clothing fits them well can save money by buying it. Most often, people do not fit exactly into a producer’s size. Their clothing must be altered（改变）to make it fit better. However, most alterations are not very expensive. The small cost of most alterations means that ready-made clothing can meet the needs of most customers.
Those who can afford it often get someone to design and make their clothing. Such clothing is called custom-made（定做的）. The person who makes it measures the customer, and the sews it so that it fits perfectly. Alterations are not needed. Custom-made clothing is largely sewn by hand, has better quality, better material, and is of the style you have chosen. Of course, it costs much more than ready-to-wear clothing. You need to pay the difference for the special fitting and better skill that you are receiving. This often means that you spend double or more than you would for a ready-made garment（衣服）.
Custom-made clothing is not always that much better than ready-made clothing. It cost more partly because only one garment has been made, just for you. Companies that produce ready-made products make thousands of garments at a time. This means they can buy large quantities of material. Workers cut each size by the hundreds. Companies work out ways to make the garments quickly by machine and pay workers according to their skill. Thus they can sell the finished products at a low price while still making money. Most of the clothing sold in the United States is made in this way. Customers gain from the lower prices, which are made possible by muss production (批量生产). It may or may not give them high quality.
64. According to the passage, people who buy ready-made clothing ___________.
答案：D
A. wish to make alternations
B. can fit into the sizes
C. want to make it letter
D. will spend less money
65. We can learn from the passage that customer-made clothing is __________.
答案：A
A. specially made
B. fashionably designed
C. chosen by few people
D. made with difficulties
66. Which of the following is true about ready-made clothing?
答案：D
A. It is of poor quality.
B. It suits all people.
C. It takes more time to make it.
D. It is labor-saving to make it.
67. The purpose of the writer is __________.
答案：C
A. to explain why custom-made clothing costs more
B. to show the advantages of mass production
C. to provide information about different kinds of clothing
D. to tell readers how to make money from ready-made clothing.
D
Collecting information about pre-employment and filing out an application form(申请表) are
closely connected. However, filling out an application form is much easier because you have total control and have enough time to think and plan.
That you are given a form to fill out does not necessarily mean that you have to answer all the questions in it. If the form contains unclear questions or terms and conditions, you can make some changes before signing(签约) it ,or refuse to answer some of the questions. What you must realize is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly paid lawyers, Each word is important, or it would not be there; and you can be sure that is not anything there that is written with your interests in mind.
I know what I speak of because , as a lawyer for Litton Industries, I wrote the terms and conditions that printed on the back of order forms. I wrote the most tiring terms and conditions anyone has ever seen. Still, 90 percent of the buyers would just sign on them without questioning anything. If anyone questioned them, we would reach an agreement on something that was acceptable to both sides.
So when you see a preprinted application that contains questions or learns and conditions, read it all and read it slowly. If you don’t like something, you can simply change the parts you don’t like. Remember that everything can be settled by discussion. To what degree it can be settled depends on your position (立场), of course, and that is something only you can determine.
68. Filling out application forms is much easier because __________.
答案：D
A. everything connected with application forms is easier
B. it is easier to collect information about pre-employment
C. you can plan and have control of the needed time
D. you can control the form filling with enough time
69. We can learn from the underlined part “Each word is important” that _________.
答案：A
A. everything in a form must be read carefully
B. questions in a form must be answered
C. the conditions that interest you are changeable
D. something of your interposes is most important
70. The writer points out with an example that the side who will sign a form______.
答案：D
A. may know it is thing for both sides to ask questions.
B. has to hire a highly paid lawyer to fill out the form.
C. should refuse to answer the questions in the form.
D. can reach to answer the questions in the form.
71. It can be inferred from the 4th paragraph that______.
答案：A
A. it depends on your position to settle everything in a form.
B. questions in a form are more important than your position
C. you have little right to determine the conditions you like most.
D. you must change a preprinted application before it is discussed.
E.
Important changes took place in the lives of women in the 19 century .When men went out from their farms to cities to seek jobs in industry. Peasant women had to take over the coming. growing , and harvesting of the fields as well as caring for cattle and raising their children. When women also moved to the cities in search of work .they found that it was increasingly separated by sex and that employment opportunities for women were limited to the lower-paid jobs. Later in the century. women in industry gathered mainly in cloth-making factories .though some worked in mining or took similarly difficult and tiring jobs.
In the 1800s. service work also absorbed(吸纳)a great number of women who arrived in the cities from the country .Young women especially took jobs as servants in middle-class and upper-class homes; and as more and more men were drawn into industry ,domestic service(家庭服务)became increasingly a female job. In the second half of the century, however, chances of other service work also opened up to women, from sales jobs in shops to teaching and nursing .These jobs came to be done mainly by women and low paid.
For thousands of years. when almost all work was done on the family form or in the family firm(家庭作坊)，home and workplace had been the same. In these cases ,women could do farm work of hand work .and perform home duties such as child care and preparation of meals at the same time. Along with the development of industry, the central workplace, however, such as the factory and the department store ,separated home from work. Faced with the necessity for women to choose between home and workplace, Western society began to give particular attention to the rule of women as homemakers with more energy than ever before.
72. We learn from the first paragraph that______had been done chiefly by men before they went to cities to seek jobs.
答案：C
A. mining, teaching, and nursing
B. sewing clothes and mining
C. sowing, growing, and harvesting.

73. Domestic service became a female job mainly because______.
答案：C
A. women took care of children
B. women took jobs as servants.
C. men were employed in industry.
D. men seldom worked in shops.
74. We know from the passage that in the 1800s______.
答案：A
A. more and more women began to work in domestic service.
B. women mainly worked as servants, nurses, and miners.
C. service and industrial jobs absorbed more women than men.
D. women enjoyed working as sellers, teachers, and miners.
75. This passage is about _________in the 19th century.
答案：C
A. service and industry
B. female and male jobs
