The difference between a liquid and a gas is obvious ?( 26 )? the conditions of temperature and pressure commonly found at the sur face of the Earth. A liquid can be kept in an open container and ?( 27 )? it to the level of a free surface. A gas forms no free surface but ( 28 )? to diffuse throughout the space available; it must ? ( 29 )? be kept in a closed container, as ?( 30 )?a planet’s atmosphere. The distinction was a prominent feature of early theories ?( 31 )the phases of matter. In the nineteenth century, for example, one theory maintained that a liquid could be “dissolved” in a vapor without losing its identity, and another theory held that the two phases are ?( 32 )? different kinds o f molecules(分子). The theories now prevailing ?( 33 )? a quit e different approach by emphasizing what liquids and gases have in common. They are both forms of matter that have no permanent structure, and they both flow ea sily. They are fluids. ?
The ?( 34 )? similarly of liquids and gases becomes clear ly apparent when the temperature and pressure are raised somewhat.?( 35 )? a closed container partially filled with a liquid is heated. The li quid expands or ?( 36 )?, becomes less dense; some of it evapor ates.?( 37 )?, the vapor above the liquid surface becomes dense r as the evaporated molecules are added to it. The combination of temperature an d pressure ?( 38 )? the densities become equal is ?( 3 9 )? the critical point. Above the critical point the liquid and the gas can no longer be ?( 40 )?; there is a single, undifferentiated fluid phase of uniform density.

Part Ⅵ READING COMPREHENSION ［30 MIN.］?
SECTION A READING COMPREHENSION［25 MIN.］?
?In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished stat ements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one th at you think is the best answer.??
Mark your answers on your answer sheet.??
TEXT A
? Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must communi cate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-t o-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we gi ve information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our vi ews challenged by other members of society.?
Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during th e last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dom inating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused t he enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. secondly, speed has revolutionised the transmission and reception of communicat ions so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself i s often almost eclipsed by international news.?
No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the c inema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program me that is being channelled into millions of homes.? Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information . The modem communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entert ainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.?
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very val uable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modem network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.?
66. In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the___ of face-t o-face contact in social settings.?
A. nature B. limitation C. usefulness D. creativity ?
67. It is implied in the passage that___.?
A. local news used to be the only source of information.?
B. local news still takes a significant place.?
C. national news is becoming more popular.?
D. international news is the fastest transmitted news. ?
68. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT??
A. To possess information used to be a privilege.?
B. Public libraries have replaced private libraries.?
C. Communication means more than transmission.?
D. Information influences ways of life and thinking. ?
69. From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is___.?
A. indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass media?
B. happy about the drastic changes in the mass media?
C. pessimistic about the future of the mass media?
D. concerned about the wrong use of the mass media ??
