    Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes.  After an hour’s flight one of the scientists wrote in his book, "Look here for probable metal. "Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain area, sent a message to other scientists on the ground, "Gold possible, "Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, "This ground should be searched for metals. "From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word:" Uranium

    None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers of looking down below the earth’s surface.  They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground, using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.     This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.

    At Waston Bar Greek, a brook(小溪)six thousand feet high in the mountains of British  Colunbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds.  Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees.  Roots were dug and put into boxes.  Each bag and box was carefully marked.  In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested.  Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.

    Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver.  But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds.  The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.

60. Scientists were flying over a desert of a hilly wasteland or a mountain area in order to search for_________ in the ground.

    Several days ago, a Beijing-based IT company fired about 400 people overnight.  No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China.  Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift―the book "Who Moved My Cheese?"

    The book―a bestseller in the US―is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work.  Some large organizations, including Coca-Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.

    Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood-Our jobs, the industries we work in, relationships and love as well.

    With China’s official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges.  So what we should do once this" cheese" on which we are so dependent is moved?

    "Whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely," Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.

    Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. "We should change our way of thinking.  The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive. "

    "With hardwork and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese. " Zhang smiled confidently.

64. The whole passage is about_________.

    A. a bestseller in the US

    B. what people think about China’s entry into the WTO

    C. the change in people’s attitude towards changes and challenges

    D. how a book influences the Chinese workers

65. The company in Beijing gave each of the 400 fired workers a copy of "Who Moved My Cheese" in order to_________.

    A. be more competitive with foreign firms

    B. find an excuse for their job cuts

    C. let the workers make a living on their own

66. The word" cheese" in the passage can refer to_________.

    A. something we depend on      B. a most important kind of food

    C. change or challenge         D. way of life

    Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality.  Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit.  The beginnings of modem dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed.

    Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature.  She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea.  Her great contributions are in three areas.

    First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance.  Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concerts.  In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity(技巧高超)shown by complicated, codified positions and movements.  Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way.  Her dance stemmed from(源自)her soul and spirit.  She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.

    Her second contribution lies in dance costumes(服裝).  She discarded corset, ballet shoes, and stiff costumes.  These were replaced with flowing clothes, bare feet, and unlimited hair.  She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.

    Her third contribution was in the use of music.  In her performances she used the symphonies(交響樂)of great masters, including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.

    She was as exciting and eccentric in her personal life as in her dance.

68. The best title for the passage would be"_________".

    A. Dance in the Twentieth Century        B. Artists of the Last Century

    C. Natural Movement in Dance             D. A Pioneer in Modern Dance

69. According to the passage, nature meant_________ to Duncan.

    A. something to conquer        B. a model for movement

    C. a place to find peace       D. a symbol of disorder

70. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses_________.

    A. Duncan’s further contribution to modern dance

    B. The music customarily used in ballet

    C. other aspects of Duncan’s life

    D. audience acceptance of the new form of dance
