and analysis meant that he was able to solve cases which left the real police completely perplexed．As a problem solver in the law forced business, he was a knowledgeable person equal to Superman, the comic book hero． Like Superman, of course, Holmes did not exist． He was the creation of a Scottish doctor and novelist Arthur Conan Doyle, and remains one of the most famous of literary fiction characters of all time． Holmes’ general rule when trying to solve a case was as follows: Completely get rid of the impossible．Then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth． It's said that Holmes' powers of deduction（推理） were superhuman, particularly his ability to process information from what he observed． In a story called The Boscombe Valley Mystery, Holmes examines the area near a lake where a murder has been committed． The local police have already searched the area and found no clues． Holmes spends ten minutes in the area, and announces that the murderer "is a tall man, left handed, limps with the right leg, wears thick-soled shooting-boots and a grey coat, smokes Indian cigars, uses a cigarholder, and carries a pen-knife in his pocket．There are several other indications, but these may be enough to aid us in our search． " Needless to say, he has found evidence to support all of these statements． The fictional Holmes lived in an apartmnt at 221 Baker Street, a real street in Central London． When Conan Doyle wrote about olmes． there was n 221 Baker Street, but after the street was extended northwards, there was． There is currently a bank at that address． The fact that Holmes didn't actually exist doesn't stop thousands of people writing to him for help every year．The bank kindly responds to every letter they receive, with the following message: "Mr．Holmes thanks you for your letter． At the moment he is retired in Sussex, keeping bees, and does not undertake detective work nowadays． "56．In the first paragraph the word "perplexed" suggests that the police were ． A． confident B． worried C． confused D． sure’57．How does the writer describe Holmes and Superman?A．Neither Superman nor Holmes were real characters．B．Both Superman and Holmes used super intellect to solve problems．C．While Superman was a comic book figure, Holmes was a real detective．D．Superman and Holmes were equally intelligent and brave．58．How did Holmes use his powers of deduction in the fourth paragraph?A．He spent a long time thinking about possible solutions．B．He found clues to help him create a full description of a suspect．C．He looked at the crime area and guessed what happened．D．He searched an area with the police and iscussed it with them．59．When letters are written to Holmes,． A．he answers letters when he receives them B．his secretary answers them for him C．the bank where he used to live on Baker Street sends the letters back D．the bank at his address replies that Holmes is no longer working as a detectiveB In 1993 New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on drink containers．Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum（铝） cans, and glass and plastic bottles． Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products． But because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it was wound up buried in landfills（垃圾填埋场）．The problem was not limited to New York． Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic． Today, one out of five plastic bottles is recycled in the United States． The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying plastic bottles that are no longer useful and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc． As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish． Something that is useless remains rubbish until somebody figures out how to give it a second life and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value． Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, prices for used materials are actually pulled down． Shrinking （收缩） landfill space and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling．In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option． For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to saving of more than $ 100 per ton．Recycling also makes the local economy develop by creating jobs, and reduces the pollution and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more high-quality raw material．60．The returned plastic bottles in New York used to ． A． end up somewhere underground B． be turned into raw materials C． have a second-life value D． be separated from other rubbish61．The key problem in dealing with returned plastic drink containers is ． A． to sell them at a profitable price B． how to turn them into useful things C． how to reduce their recycling costs D． to rise the prices for used materials62． Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because A． local governments find it easy to manage B． recycling has great appeal for the jobless C． recycling causes some pollution D． other methods are more expensive63． It can be concluded from the passage that ． A． rubbish is a potential way for the shortage of raw materials B． local governments in the U． S． can expect big profits from recycling C． recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentally D． landfills will still be widely used for waste disposalCStatistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel and you can make fying even safer, just by following these simple rules． As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil（零）, many of these rules concern what you should and shouldn’t do to make your journey safer when you are in the air． ●Fly on non-stop routes Most accidents occur during the take off, climb, descent and landing period of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complicated procedures． ●Choose larger aircraft Although small aircrafts have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply （遵守 ） with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply． Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger survival． Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing（简报） The information may seem to be repeated, but it's worth listening to the flight attendants． And even if you have flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit． tore things safely Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins．They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury．Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during the violent movements of air caused by the wind． Keep your seat belt fastened while you are seated Cabin crew always tell you this, but it's important． You could be seriously injured if the plane hits the violen2月份百题精练（2）英语 Word版含答案
