It is also an excellent form of exercise. Bicycles don't pollute the air， either. At present， there are about a billion bicycles in the world. But how much do you know about bicycles？    About 100 million bicycles are made around the world each year. Now there are over a half billion bicycles in China alone.

Pedals were added in 1840 by a Scottish named Kirkpatrick Macmillan. He is considered as the inventor of the real bicycle.    Riding a bicycle has a number of health benefits. Riding for three hours or thirty kilometers every week cuts your risk of heart disease in half. Many people in Asia and Europe use their bicycles when travelling short distances. However，Americans only use their bicycles once in a hundred trips. If they use their bicycles a lot， they would save a lot of gas and help protect the environment.（1 ）　   　 bicycles are made around the world each year.A.

The volunteers were （51）　   　a photograph of a famous person on a computer and then the face gradually changed into another famous person's． For example a picture of the 1950s film star Marilyn Monroe （52）　   　changed into a picture of the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher! Obviously， Marilyn's beautiful curly blonde hair became greyer， her nos became sharper and longer， and her face developed wrinkles and lines around the mouth． As they watched the person change， complicated equipment scanned thevlunteers' brains to see which parts of the brain were lighting up．The （53）　   　showed that we use three main areas of the brain to identify people's faces． While one section of the brain looks at the physical features such as size and shape of eyes， another part identifies the face as known or unknown． （54）　   　， a third part of the brain is checking out the name or other information about the face in our memory． It sounds （55）　   　but it seems that human beings can store as many as 10，000faces in their memories and most of us can recognize about ninety per cent of our classmates up to thirty five years after we last saw them!50．A． badB． commonC． unusualD． exciting51．A． shownB．slowlyC． slowlyD． suddenly53．A． surveyB． situationC． changesD． results54．A． What's moreB． For the time beingC． As a resultD． At the same time55．A． sillyB． amazingC． seriousD． familiar32．（7分）Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words. （根据首字母填空，每空格限填一词）    Most cell phone companies design models especially for kids.

The percentage goes up with age. Most kids get their （2）f　   　cell phone at the age of 12.

Beautiful houses，wonderful lawns （草坪）， and nice gardens. This was the kind of housing estate where John Wood preferred to work.    It was just before eleven o'clock at night. After John drove around for the fifth time， he thought that he had found the right house﹣No 4. There was no light and the garage（车库） door was open. John parked his car in the next street and then came into the garage.    No one would think that a well﹣dressed gentleman with a white silk scarf and gloves， was really an excellent thief.    After looking around the house for a while， John got down to work. He searched every room， and before long， his hands were full. He had two necklaces， some gold rings and a purse with a lot of money. He put all the things in his pocket.    Then he found a small wall safe in the bedroom. John couldn't wait to take the valuable things from the safe and put them into his own pocket! But the thief met a problem： he couldn't open the safe.    John wiped（擦） a few drops of sweat from his forehead， took off his gloves， and placed them on a chair. Again and again， and finally， he opened the safe. He saw something shining﹣a huge diamond.    At that time， John heard someone opening the front door. It was the owner of the house. John put the diamond in his pocket， ran to the window， climbed out of the house and drove away in the dark.    Ten minutes later， the police arrived. After searching the house， the police found an important piece of evidence （证据） that could easily tell who was the thief.    Do you know what the piece of evidence was？ （1）When did the story happen？　   　（2）Why did John think House No.4 is the right one？　   　（3）Where did John put all the things that he had stolen？　   　（4）How did John feel when he saw the wall safe？　   　（5）John was very good at stealing things， wasn't he？　   　（6）Did the police think they were able to catch the thief？ Give reason（s）.　   　V.
