The pilot was in constant radio communication with Ground Control when the engines suddenly cut out and all contact was lost. The plane crashed on the side of the ancient Roman camp at Hadrian’s Hill, a place well known to archaeologists and tourists. So far few details have been reported, but it is feared that at least twenty people lost their lives, and among them was the pilot, who was killed instantly. The local ambulances and firemen were on the scene of the crash within minutes. But additional help had to be rushed from other areas.

    Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

    A

    It is very important for people to drink water in our everyday life. Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a recent report offers some different advice. Experts say people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking. The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies. The report contains some general suggestions. The experts say women should get about 2.7 liters of water daily. Men should get about 3.7 liters. But wait——in each case, that is more than eight glasses.

    There is one important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. People do not get water only by forcing themselves to drink a set number of glasses per day. People also drink fruit juices and sodas and milk. They drink coffee and tea. These all contain water. Yet some also contain caffeine. This causes the body to expel(排出)more water. But the writers of the report say this does not mean the body loses too much water.

    As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do. All this, however, does not answer one question. No one seems sure why people have the idea that good health requires eight glasses of water daily.

    It may have started with a misunderstanding. In 1945, the National Academy of Sciences published some guidelines. Its Food and Nutrition Board(营养膳食) said a good amount of water for most adults was 2.5 liters daily. This was based on an average of one milliliter(毫升)for each calorie of food eaten. But that was only part of what the board said. It also said that most of this amount is contained in prepared foods.

    56. In experts’ opinion, every day a person should drink ____.

       A. as much water as he can                                            B. more than eight glasses of water

       C. according to actual need for his body                     D. when he comes in sight of water

    57. What is mainly described in the second paragraph?        

       A. People know about the daily water requirement.        

    B. People need water instead of all kinds of drink.

       C. People get daily water not only from drinking.    

    D. People drink all kinds of drink every day.

    58. Who might drink less water according to the third paragraph?

       A. meet with good results                                                        B. follow the advice

       C. give up his idea                                                              D. correct the conclusion

    Directions：Read the following passages．Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage．

    　　Can you imagine a stranger will read your e－mails without your permission or scan the website you've visited or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills? All of the things may happen to you one day．

    　　In fact, it's likely that some of these things have already happened to you．Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal．Whoever it is they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen or even do something that may bring a disaster to you．

    　　Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, and that it's important to reveal to riends, family and lovers at appropriate times．But few boundaries remain nowadays．The digital bread crumbs(碎屑)you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to know who you are, where you are and what you like．In some cases, a simple Google search can leak the deepest thought in your mind．Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret．

    　　The key question is：Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no” ．

    　　When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy? most of them say they are really concerned about losing it．And 60 percent of the respondents say they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me"．

    　　But people say one thing and do another．Only a small of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy．Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站)to avoid using the EZ－Pass system that can track automobile movements．Privacy economist Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give up personal information such as telephone number, address , or social security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50－cents－off coupon(优惠券)．But privacy does matter－at least sometimes．It's like health; when you have it, you don't notice it．Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it．

    Without privacy, one will be naked in front of others．
