A
For every five men in the Civil War who died in battle , two or three died of disease. Doctors of that time knew very little about causes of sickness or ways of preventing it. Thousands of men in poor health became soldiers. Many of them could not resist epidemic （瘟疫）diseases that went through the places where they lived .
Army life was hard. Soldiers got little fruit or vegetables. There was no milk unless they happened to find a cow. Neither their clothes nor their living places protected the troops from rain, snow, and cold . Sickness and disease were spread by insects , rats , and unclean drinking water . Often the men drank straight from muddy streams .
Gunshot wounds were serious, as in any war, but they did not cause as many deaths as disease did.
1. Disease caused ___.                                                    
A．only a few deaths  B．fewer deaths than wounds did
C．more deaths than wounds did   D．both A and B
2．Men who were accepted as Civil War soldiers were ______.       
A．known to have already had some epidemic diseases
B．required to be in perfect health
C．a(chǎn)ble to resist epidemic disease easily   D．sometimes in poor health
3．Army life was hard for troops because ______          
A．the place where they lived didn't keep them safe from bad weather
B．they had no warm clothing
C．they seldom had good, healthful food   D．a(chǎn)ll of the above
4．Insects and rats were dangerous because they ______      
A．destroyed food  B．carried diseases
C．made the water unclean  D．tore the soldiers' clothes into pieces
5．The best title for this selection is ______.          
A．The Cause of Disease  B．The Greatest Danger in the Civil War

D
In the north of Scotland there is a lake called Loch Ness. It is the biggest lake in Britain. It is over thirty kilometres long and in places nearly 300 meters deep. It is cold and dark and not many people went there until after 1930. Then a road was made around the lake. Holiday makers began to use the road, and this was when the stories began.
Someone said that he had seen a monster in the lake. He said it was twelve meters long. It had a long neck and a small head. Then someone else said he had seen it. Others said the same thing and in 1933 a London doctor took a photo. It looked like a monster with a long neck and a thick body but the photo was not dear. The newspapers printed the picture and called it the Loch Ness monster, or "Nessie".
Then the argument began. Some people, however, were certain there was something living in the lake. Others said there was nothing there.
In 1961, a lot of people joined together to make a real effort to see and photograph the monster if there was one! Several times people thought they saw something but after ten years there was still no real proof.
Later underwater television cameras were used, but no one found any real proof. However, they did find something interesting: a huge underwater cave. It was big enough to be home of a monster, but of course, this was not a proof.
In 1975, however, some American scientists formed a search group. They used an underwater camera. It took pictures every seventy seconds. Some of the pictures seemed to show a red-brown creature. Its body was about four meters long and had a very ugly head on the end of a four meter neck. Many people then began to believe in the monster. But even today we can not be certain.
63. Before 1930, ____.
A. few people went to Loch Ness Lake
B. many people had been there
C. nobody went to the lake
D. nobody knew about the lake
64. What did the monster look like?
A. It looked like a horse.
B. It was a creature with a long neck and a small head.
C. It looked beautiful.
D. It was tiny and pretty.
65. Who first took a photo of the monster?
A. An American
B. A television camera
C. A holiday-maker
D. A doctor from London
66. A search group formed by some American scientists.
A. found the monster itself
B. found a huge cave under water
C. believed that there wasn't any monster at all
D. took some pictures which seemed to show a monster
