Lesson 55 Not a gold mine
'The Revealer' is a new machine which is used for detecting buried gold. Using this machine, a research party recently tried to find gold in a cave near the seashore. Although they examined the cave thoroughly they only found a small gold coin which was practically worthless. However many people
believe that the machine many reveal something of value soon.
Lesson 56 Faster than sound
A lot of old cars entered for the race, which is held once a year. A great many loud explosions could be heard when they set off and though many cars broke down during the race, a few managed to complete
the course. The winning car went downhill so quickly that its driver had a lot of difficulty trying to stop it.
Lesson 58 A blessing in disguise
The number of visitors to the village of Frinley has increased because there is said to be a ‘cursed
tree’ near the church. Since the villagers believe that if anyone picks a leaf he will die, they have asked the vicar to have the tree cut down. As the tree is a useful source of income, the vicar has refused to have the tree cut down. Meanwhile, though tourists have been picking leaves, not one of them has come to harm.
Lesson 59 In or out ?
Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside the front gate and bark so that someone would open it. Ever since my
husband trained him to open the gate himself, Rex has developed another bad habit. He barks when he
is in the garden so that someone will let him out. After this he lets himself in and barks until someone opens the gate again. Now that my husband has removed the gate, Rex has disappeared.
Lesson 60 The future
The writer visited a fortune-teller at a village fair who told him that a relation was coming to see him. She added that a woman he knew well would speak to him when he left the tent and he would follow her out of the fair. This came true because his wife spoke to him when he went outside. She told him they had to meet his sister at the station and she led him out of the fair.
Lesson 61 Trouble with the Hubble
When the Hubble telescope was launched into space in April 1990, the pictures it sent us were very
disappointing because the main mirror was faulty. Four astronauts will soon be making the necessary
repairs, and eventually, pictures from the Hubble will tell us a great deal about the age and size of the universe.
Lesson 62 After the fire
It took the firemen nearly three weeks to get the forest fire under control. Now that all the great trees had been burnt, there was danger that heavy rain would cause serious floods which would destroy the surrounding villages. To prevent this, the forest authorities ordered grass-seed which was sprayed over the ground by planes for nearly a month. By the time that it began to rain, the grass had taken root in many places.
1. b
根據課文第8-9行…but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income 可以判斷只有c. it earns money 與課文的實際內容相符，是牧師拒絕把樹砍掉的原因，其他3個選擇都與課文的實際情況不符，所以選b.
2. d

3. a
該句缺少主語和謂語，只有一個that引導的從句。只有a. They say (他們說，人們說)，最適合這個句子，也合乎語法和習慣用法。其他3個選擇b. it said (它說)意思不對，應該是it is said 才正確；c. Said 缺少主語；d. It is saving 不合乎習慣用法，應該是It is said 才對。

Lesson 56:Faster than sound! 比聲音還快！
Once a year, a race is held for old cars. A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began. One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels. Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. After a great many loud explosions, the race began. Many of the cars broke down on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them! A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hour -- much faster than any of its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.
句子講解：
本文語法：復習級和比較級及數量詞的用法 (參考Lesson 8和Lesson 32的語法分析。
1. c
根據課文第一句和最后一句Once a year, a race is held for old cars. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting 可以推測只有c. All the cars were old 是汽車比賽不尋常之處，其他3個選擇雖然都是課文所提及的內容也與汽車比賽有關，但它們都不能清楚表明汽車比賽為什么不尋常。
2. a
根據課文第8行A few cars, however, completed the race 只有a. but only a few completed the course 與課文的實際情形相符，其他3個選擇都與課文的實際情況不符。
3. c
只有c. lots of 與前一句中的 A lot of (很多)的意思相同，所以應該選c。a. much 不能修飾可數名詞；b. lot of 不是正確的表達方式，應該是a lot of 或者lots of ； d. plenty (充足)， plenty of 是一個短語，表示“足夠的”，而且這個短語也不符合題目意思。
