D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.
C
You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn‘t really dead. With any luck he isn‘t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains， who crash cars of even catch fire， are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say， they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example， they fall from a high building. However， they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress （床垫）。 Again， when they hit one another with chairs， the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows， the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort， it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman‘ s success depends on careful timing. For example， when he is “blown up” in a battle scene， he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work， but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured， and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman， for example， skied over the edge of a cliff （悬崖） a thousand feet high. His parachute （降落伞） failed to open， and he was killed. In spite of all the risks， this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool.

D
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone， the car， the cooker， the computer， the TV， or her boyfriend， she said “the phone”. Personally， I could do without the phone entirely， which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate， in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist， would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life，” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside， she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance to her rescue.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch， Carl Nicolaisen， to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are ， where they are going， and how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says， “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near--but we didn‘t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously （ 同时地） on chat lines （at least my daughter does. I wouldn‘t know what to talk about）。 We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts （if you know any） while they‘re space-walking. And， with the phone line hooked up to the computer， we can access the Internet， the biggest library on Earth.
68.How do you understand ‘Point 1 -The telephone creates the need to communicate，…‘?
A. People don‘t communicate without telephone.
B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D. People communicate more because of more traffic.
69. Which of the following best shows people‘s attitude towards mobile phones?
A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.
C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D. Mobile phones are part of people‘s life.
70. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people‘s life?
a. Point 1.b. Point2.c. Point3.d. Point 4.e. Point 5.
A. c， d B. a， e C. a， c D. b， e
71. The best heading for the passage is _______.

In 1909 an English newspaper offered ￡1，000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel（英吉利海峡） in an aeroplane （飞机）。 Today， modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colorful.
One is Louis Bleriot. He owed a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot because he had crashed several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said， “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in a crash!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aeroplane design.
The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh， well，” he said， “If I‘m going to die soon， I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.” Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometers from the French coast， his plane had engine trouble. It crashed into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer‘s field. When he did so， a customs officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then but customs officers have not. “Have you anything to declare?” the officer demanded.
