　　阅读下列短文，然后根据短文的内容从每小题的四个选择项中选出最佳的一项，并把它前面的大写字母填入左边的括弧里。

　　A

　　Bill and his family have been living in the same old building for eight years. The landlord (房東) also lives there， and usually all the tenants (房客) got along fairly well with one another. Recently， however， there has been a change in their relations.

　　A nice， quiet old couple used to live there， too. The old lady would sometimes bring some small cakes she made to Bill‘s mother， who in return would give her some meat or help her with shopping. Unfortunately， the old lady died last month. As her husband couldn’t live alone， his grandson moved in.

　　The grandson， a youth of about twenty， has become a problem to Bill‘s family because he is so noisy. Bill’s family members were used to peace and quiet， but the youth likes to listen to his radio late at night. Sometimes his friends came for a visit， and they also made a lot of noise. Everyone in Bill‘s family has been bothered by the new comer and getting angry.

　　Bill‘s mother once politely asked the old man if he was able to sleep well at night， but it seemed that he didn’t understand what she meant and so never spoke to his grandson about it. If he did， the grandson apparently didn‘t listen， since things have not changed any. Everyone in Bill’s family agrees that something has to be done， but no one wants to hurt the old man‘s feelings or cause him any problems.

　　( )51. Which of the following statements is not true?

　　A. The old man could not live without his wife‘s help.

　　B. The old couple could not do any shopping.

　　C. Bill‘s mother was kind to her neighbour.

　　D. Bill‘s mother was the only one in the family who liked their neighbour’s grandson.

　　( )52. The grandson makes a lot of noise as _________.

　　A. he never cares whether the neighbours might want to live in peace and quiet

　　B. the walls of the building are thin

　　C. he likes to listen to his radio early in the morning

　　D. friends come to visit him

　　( )53. ________ will be able to solve the problem.

　　A. Only Bill‘s mother B. Only the old man

　　C. Only the grandson‘s friends D. Nobody

　　( )54. In the sentence “Everyone in Bill‘s family is bothered by the new neighbour”， “bother” means ________.

　　A. scare B. cause trouble to C. worry D. make sorry

　　B

　　The sea is the largest unknown part of the world. It covers seventy-one percent of the earth. There is still much to be discovered about this vast blanket of water.

　　If the waters of the oceans could be moved away， the sea floor with its wide valleys， irregular mountains and rivers in the sea would be an unbelievable sight. Around the edges of the continents the ocean floor is flat and the water does not become much deeper for about thirty miles. Where there are high young mountains along the coast， this flat part may be much less than thirty miles. But where rivers flow into the sea， the flat area may extent for hundreds of miles.

　　The region near the continents， where the water is not so deep， is the place where the ocean‘s greatest riches in marine life are found. Below these creatures and plants are the largest known quantities of minerals.

　　At the end of the flat part the sea floor suddenly drops down， forming deep hollows which are shaped like bowls. These huge hollows hold most of the world‘s water.

　　Imagine， if you can， a mountain chain stretching 40，000 miles around the earth. It is hard to believe that this great under-water chain of mountain encircling the earth was discovered only a few years ago.

　　( )55. Land areas cover _______ of the earth.

　　A. seventy-one percent B. two-thirds

　　C. thirty-one percent D. twenty-nine percent

　　( )56. Around the edges of the continents the water is relatively ________.

　　A. narrow B. deep C. shallow D. regular

　　( )57. _______ is the good place for living creatures and plants.

　　A. The deep water area of the sea

　　B. The edges of the continent

　　C. The shallow water area not far from the continents

　　D. The area around the continents

　　( )58. A few years ago， ________ of 40，000 miles was ________.

　　A. a chain of mountains; found

　　B. a mountain chain; engirded

　　C. an under water chain of mountains; discovered

　　D. a mountain chain around the earth; imagined
