Passage 2
Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in space. Years ago they knew a lot about the moon. They knew how far away it is from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought and thought. At last they found the only way to know more was to send men to the moon.
The moon is about 384 000 kilometres away from the earth. A plane can not fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometres high above the earth. Then there is no air. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket(火箭).
Rockets can fly out into space. Rockets with men in them have already reached the moon. Some rockets without men in them have flown to other parts, much farther away from the earth than the moon in the universe. One day, rockets may be able to go to any place.

Passage 3
You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion. 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 show 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 (遗传)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 be given to any other group; hence, it is often called the universal giver. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal receiver. However, because so many reactions can happen in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (血浆) until their blood can be matched (匹配)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 32 percent have type A while 35 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.
51. A good title for this selection is . A. Getting Blood And Plasma B. Special Blood Colors C. Universal Giver and Receiver D. Human Blood Types 52. The word “hence” in the third paragraph means . A. therefore B. always C. often D. while
53. The author suggests that the third most common blood type among Europeans be .
A. A B. B C. AB D. O 53. People with type A blood can receive . A. AB B. B C. O D. all the above
55. If you need a transfusion, the best and safest blood for you is .
A. type A B. type AB
C. exactly the same type as yours D. a mixture of salt, plasma, and type O
Passage 4

On Television
Television has many advantages. First, it can provide people with many programs and much information such as news and films.Second, it can provide university courses to people for bettering themselves.
However, television hai its own disadvantages. Its radiation often hurts viewers? eyes. And what?s more, there are too many advertisement and violent shows on TV progame. They are harmful to young kids.
In my opinion, it is hard to say whether television is good or bad, and its value to people totally depend on how they look at it and how to make full use of it.
