閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項ABCD中選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

Life has changed in Mexico City. Streets normally filled with people are empty. One of the most popular professional soccer teams recently played a game in an empty stadium that can seat more than100,000 people. It's swine flu that has made life in Mexico City grind to a halt (慢慢停了下來).

Seemingly out of nowhere, swine flu has caused confirmed deaths in 12 countries as of April 30. It has sent a wave of alarm around the world. Governments are trying to find ways to prevent further out-breaks. The World Health Organization has raised its swine flu global threat level to five out of six.

People may be familiar with bird flu, but they know little about swine flu. Swine flu is a contagious respiratory disease in pigs. It is caused by a type-A influenza virus.

Humans can also catch swine flu. The virus causes regular outbreaks in pigs, but people usually do not catch it. However, there have been cases of the virus spreading to people, and then from one person to another.

The symptoms of swine flu are similar to the common flu. They include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, and vomiting. The high proportion of young adults among the deaths is one of several mysteries about this virus. Most of the dead had lung damage. What caused it is not yet known.

The virus spreads the same way the common flu does. When an infected person coughs or sneezes around another person, the latter is put at risk. People can get the disease by touching something with the flu virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose or eyes.

There are medicines to treat swine flu. Doctors suggest using anti - viral drugs. They keep the virus from reproducing inside the body.

Although there are no vaccines for it now, several everyday steps can help prevent the spread of the virus: washing hands frequently; avoiding close contact with people who are sick; and avoiding touching surfaces that might have the virus on it.

People may worry that they will get swine flu from eating or preparing pork. In fact, you cannot catch the virus from pork products if they have been properly prepared and cooked. Cooking food at temperatures of 71℃ kills the virus.

Paris has the Eiffel Tower; New York has the Statue of Liberty; and Brussels, the Manneken Piss．

Think of the Belgian capital and, if anything, you think of the small peeing (撒尿) boy—a 60-meterhigh bronze figure standing on a block, supplying a constant stream of water to the basin under him．

Some might laugh．But for Jacques Stroobants, the statue is up there with the best of them．

“I’m proud of him．People come from all around the world to see him,” says 60-year-old Stroobants with a fatherly glance at the little boy．

As the most famous landmark of Brussels, Manneken Piss has a very special place in the heart of Belgians．

The original Manneken Piss dates back to 1388, but the statue tourists see today dates from 1619 when the city built a second one after the original was destroyed．

Many stories go round Manneken Piss．Nobody knows why he was made．One story is that he saved Brussels by putting out the flames of a deadly fire with his well-aimed piss．But the most believable story is that the boy, the son of a wealthy man, was kidnapped (綁架)．The father had a statue built in honor of the way his son was found—peeing against a tree．

Perhaps best-known for his naked beauty, the “peeing boy” has also been clothed in some of the finest clothes money can buy．

Stroobants has been changing his clothes for the last 29 years．On average, he has clothes on 300 days a year．And on special days, he pees beer．

A few of the ways he’s been dressed are：a football player, Mozart and an army general．Now, he has more than 600 pieces of clothes．

There is no strict charge for those wishing to provide clothes for the little boy．But certain conditions must be met．

“The clothes cannot include either advertising or political message,” said Stroobants, because they would cheapen the national treasure．

But Manneken Piss is still something local people can make money from—by selling all kinds of souvenirs．

72．Which of the following is NOT true about Manneken Piss?

A．It has a history of more than 600 years.              

B．It stands in Brussels.

C．It is best known for the clothes he wears.            

D．It is 60 meters high.

A．it’s good looking with water running constantly

B．it brings joys to people who see it

C．it helps people make money

D．it’s a symbol of the city

74．We can learn from the passage that ________．

A．for most of the year, the boy is naked

B．Stroobants is probably in charge of taking care of the statue

C．people can provide any clothes for Manneken Piss free of charge

D．people make money by advertising Manneken Piss

75．The local people can get money by selling _______．

A．objects that remind the tourists of a trip       

B．clothes that Manneken Piss has worn

C．a(chǎn)nything that is related to Manneken Piss

       A．a(chǎn)dmirable B．inspired    C．a(chǎn)ddictive   D．impressed

After years of hearing drivers complain about scratches on their cars, Japan’s Nissan Motor Company has officially announced the next big thing — a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days.

The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin (彈性樹脂) that is able to heal minor marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石頭碎片) or even on-purpose destruction.

    The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works.

Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once they’re gone, there is no trace that they were ever there.

The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period.

Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for at least 80 percent of all incidents.

    But the complete auto-healing won’t come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker notes the special paint adds about $100 US to the price of a car.

It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X-Trail SUVs in Japan for now, as it looks for a more widespread presentation. And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven’t been made yet, if it’s a hit there, you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to these shores, as well.

60. From the article, we can find that _________.

A. the paint has already been used on cars by now

C. car damage is mainly caused by scratches and scrapes

D. marketing this paint in Europe is not under way

A. certain models of Nissan                        B. name for one kind of paint

C. somewhere in Japan                              D. a word standing for a car-dealer store
