Daban town is famous for girls and windmills（风车）, while Loulan is a myth（神话）in the desert. From Daban, we move to another ancient city, Loulan.

Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful and rich Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan, ancient city on the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.

However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. Then it became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.

Loulan was first “discovered” by a Swedish man Sven Hedin in 1900. People from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden, all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made.

It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin dynasties. In the past century many things have been dug out there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others from Greece and Rome. All these things show that a lot of business between East and West once took place there.

Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless “forests” of mounds（小丘）which aren’t easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery (神秘) has been attracting so many people from so many countries.

A. a European                 B. an American

C. an Englishman              D. a Japanese

A. a lot of business between East and West had taken place there

B. people from America and Japan had set foot there

67. We can infer from the passage that       .

A. Loulan was destroyed by the terrible weather there

B. wars between dynasties made Loulan disappear

C. foreigners came to Loulan and destroyed it

D. how Loulan disappeared is still unknown to us

68. What makes so many people visit Loulan Kingdom?

The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation．

    All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go．

    But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone．And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious．College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school．Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out ------ often encouraged by college administrators．

Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves ----- they are spoiled and they are expecting too much．But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and does not explain all campus unhappiness．Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right．We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cannot absorb an army of untrained 18-year-olds．But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained 22-year-olds, either．

Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school．

We_may_have_been_looking_at_all_those_surveysand_statistics_upside_down,_it_seems,_and_through_the_rosy_glow_of_our_own_remembered_college_experiences．Perhaps college does not make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things ----- maybe it is just the other way round, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are only the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place．And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not．This is heresy （异端邪说） to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if little schooling is good, more has to be much better．But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up．

64．According to the passage all of the following statements are true EXCEPT______．

     A．about half of the high school graduates continue their studies at school

     B．college graduates are believed to be able to earn more money

     C．administrators often encourage college students to drop out

     D．more and more young people are found unfit for college

65．Which of the following is one of some observers’ opinions?

     A．The students expect so much that they are not satisfied with the hard college life．

    B．The economic situation is so discouraging that the youth have to attend college．

     C．College should improve because of so much campus unhappiness．

     D．Colleges provide more chances of good jobs than anywhere else．

66．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?

     A．Our college experience proves that those surveys are incorrect．

     B．The surveys may remind us of our beautiful college experiences．

     C．The surveys should all be re-examined according to our college experiences．

     D．Our college experiences may make us misunderstand the results of the surveys．

67．What is the main purpose of this passage?

     A．To argue against the idea that college is the best place for all young people．

     B．To put forward an idea that college should not be the first choice．

     C．To value young people’s further education in colleges．

     D．To persuade young people into working after the completion of high school．
