Passport Control(护照检查处)
If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland，you must pass through the Passport Control and the Customs(海关) immediately after leaving your plane . If you are not from Britain or a citizen of the European Community(欧共体)，you must fill out a special form before your passport is examined . This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London.
After landing，follow the ARRIVALS signs . Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach the Passport Control . There is one channel for holders of European Community Passports，and a second channel marked “Other Passports”．
Baggage Reclaim Area (取行李处)
After passing through the Passport Control，follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area . If you have luggage which is carried in the aircraft hold，it will be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area . Look for the sign with your flight number . If you have only hand luggage，go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to the Customs.
Customs（海关）
All passengers must pass the Customs after the Passport Control . There is a choice of two channels: Green and Red . If you have nothing to declare，go through the Green Channel . If you are not sure about your Duty Free Allowance(免税限额) or if you have something to declare，go through the Red Channel . Information about Duty Free Allowance can be found on special notice boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area . You should study this information carefully whether you are going through the Red Channel or not . Please note that if you go through the Green Channel，you may be stopped and asked to open your luggage for inspection.

A huge cloud of dust rose and an overpass disappeared . This was the scene in Zhuzhou ，Hunan Province on May 17.Nine people were killed and 16 injured.
Things were similar last year in the Sichuan earthquake . Thousands of people were buried in the ruins and lost their lives . What if we could have warned them? to find a way of preventing buildings’ collapse . Better materials and technology help，but they are not a solution.
Just like humans，a building has its own life cycle from “birth” to “death”．If we know when a building is going to collapse，we can repair it in advance or get out of it before it falls.
Now，scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a material that turns red before it breaks . The invention could be used in things like climbing ropes or bridge supports.
The research was led by Nancy Sottos ，a professor at the university’s Beckman Institute，and Douglas Davis，a graduate research assistant.
The secret behind the color-changing material is a type of molecule (分子)．A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds . Imagine you and your friends standing in a circle，holding hands . Each person stands for one atom，your hands represent the bonds，and the entire circle represents a molecule . If one person lets go of his or her hands，the molecule changes color.
The research team put the molecule into a soft material . When the researchers stretched the material，it turned bright red for a few seconds before it broke into two pieces . When they
repeatedly stretched and relaxed the material，without breaking it，it only turned a little red.
The major problem is that light can get rid of the red color . When the team shone bright light on the molecule，the broken bond was fixed，and the color disappeared.
If the bright light keeps the red color from appearing，the material’s warning system will be useless . Scientists still have a lot of work to do before the color-changing molecules can be used outside the lab.
66．What does the passage mainly introduce?
A．The collapse of an overpass in Zhuzhou，Hunan Province.
B．The Sichuan earthquake last year.
C．A material that turns red before it breaks.
D．A way of preventing building from collapsing.
67．The underlined words “racking their brains” in the third paragraph mean ________.
A．suffering a lot
B．collecting beyond imagination
C．losing a lot
D．thinking very hard
68．Which of the following is a WRONG statement?
A．Thousands of people died from the collapse of buildings in the Sichuan earthquake
because they hadn’t been warned.
B．There is no building that will never collapse.
C．A new material has been applied to buildings to warn people of collapse.
D．A color-changing material can turn red before it breaks.
69．What is the major problem in the research of the color-changing material?
A．Bright light can get rid of the red color.
B．When the material is relaxed，the color disappears.
C．The material’s warning system is useless.
D．The molecules only change color in the lab.
70．What can we infer from the passage?
A．The color-changing molecules are certain to be used outside the lab.
B．There will be no collapse with the help of the color-changing material.
C．There is a long way to go before the material can be applied.
D．The problem caused by bright light will be solved by scientists.
D
A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for the old and how to
improve their lives . It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society . I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First，employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees . To make this possible，a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose . But when a company must take lifelong responsibility for its employees，it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual . This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement . This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years . This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition，the government could take the responsibility for the care of the old . This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions（养老金）. Furthermore，some institutions should be created for senior citizens，which can help provide a comfortable life for them . Unfortunately，as the present situation in our country shows，answer . The government can seldom afford to care for the old，particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some workplaces especially for the old where they are independent.
To sum up，all these options have advantages and disadvantages . Therefore，it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to the old generations.
71．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The problem faced by the old in society.
B．Why we should take responsibility for the old.
C．How we can improve the lives of the old.
D．Where the old can go to get their pensions.
72．According to the passage，how can the government help to improve the lives of the retired people?
A．Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
B．Increase saving levels of people during their working years.
C．Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.
D．Make available pensions for those who have retired.
73．The underlined word “viable” most probably means “________”．
A．impossible B．practical C．useful D．successful
74．What can be concluded from the passage?
A．Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.
B．Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.
C．Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.
D．There is no single solution to the problem of the old.
75．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage?
A．To point out the need for government supporting for old people.
B．To make general readers aware of the problems of the retired people.
C．To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.
D．To instruct the retired people on how they can have a happier life.
