It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few　 21　.On their faces was confidence（信心）.This was their 22  exam—then on to graduation（毕业）and jobs.

Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they　23　get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt  24　and able to take control（控制）of the world.

The coming exam, they knew, would be a（n）　25　task, as the professor had said they could bring　26  books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not　27  each other during the test.

　28　they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 29　 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.

Three hours had passed　30  the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.

He looked at the  31　faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?” 　32　a hand was raised.

“How many answered four?” Still no hand.

“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.

“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 33　.” But the class remained silent.

The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 　34　,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are　35  many things about the 　36　you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common（普遍）in everyday　37　.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all　38　this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 39　.”

The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the 　40　he taught.

For centuries, the only form of written correspondence (通信)was the letter .　 Letters were, and are, sent by some form of postal service, the history of which goes back a long way .Indeed, the Egyptians began sending letters from about 2000 BC, as did the Chinese a thousand years later.
　　　Of course, modern postal services now are much more developed and faster, depending as they do on cars and planes for delivery. Yet they are still too slow for some people to send urgent documents (紧急文件)and letters.

　　　 The fax service is still very much in use when copies of documents require to be sent, but, as a way of fast correspondence, it has been largely taken the place of by email, Email is used to describe messages sent form one computer user to another.
　　　There are advantages and disadvantages with emails. If you send some one an email, then he will receive it extremely quickly .Normal postal services are rather slow as far as speed of delivery is concerned.
　　However, if you write something by email, which you might later regret, and send it immediately, there is no chance for second thoughts. at least, if you are have to address and seal(封)the envelope and take it to the post box.

 For the first time in modern history, less than half of the U.S.adult population now reads literature, according to a recent survey. Reading at Risk A Survey of Literary Reading in America presents a detailed review of the decline of reading's role in the nation's culture.

Reading at Risk is a survey of national fashion in adult literary reading. The data source for Reading at Risk is as reliable and objective(客观的)as any such survey can be. The key results of the survey are presented in the "Summary", but the report can be further explained as: literary reading in America is not only declining rapidly among all groups, but the rate of decline has been speeded up, especially among the young. Reading at Risk merely shows a great cultural change that most Americans have already noted－our society's great turn to electronic media for entertainment and information.

Reading a book requires a degree of active attention and devotion.Indeed,reading itself is a progressive skill that depends on years of education and practice. On the contrary, most electronic media such as television, recordings, and radio make fewer demands on their audiences, and indeed require no more than passive participation. While oral culture has a rich reality and electronic media offer the considerable advantages of variety. Print culture affords irreplaceable forms of focused and thought than make various communications and views possible. The decline in reading. therefore ,equals a larger retreat(减少)from participation in public and cultural life.

　 What is to be done? There is surely no single solution to the present problem. just as there is no single cause .The important thing now is to understand that America can no longer take active and devoted reading for granted.

　 Reading is not a timeless, common ability. As more Americans love this ability .our nation becomes less informed, active ,and independent minded .There are not qualities　that a free, inventive, or productive society can afford to love.

53.The main purpose of the survey is to _______.

A.focus on the role of electronic media and reading

B.show that American young people read less and less

C.give a report of the national of literary reading

D.review that less that half of the population now reads literature

54.According to the passage ,reading _______.

A.requires less attention and devotion

B.demsnds no more than passive participation

C.limits various communications and views

D.means active participation in public and cultural life

55.The underlined phrase "cultural change" in Paragraph 2 refers to the change _______.

A.from oral culture to electronic media

B.from print culture to electronic to electronic media

C.from electronic media to oral

D.from electronic media to print culture

56.The author of the passage ________.

A.misunderstands oral culture

B.doubts the Americans to read more

C.encourages the Americans to read more

D.agrees to the solution to present problem in reading

Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis, cricket--- anything with a round ball, I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.
　 It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.
　　 The following year he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's school of adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway's cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, the decided that this would be his future.
　　In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition（探险）　towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite（冻疮）, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled up and over rocky rice.
　　Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.
　　Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.
57. What change happened to Saunders after he was 15 years old?
 A. He became good at most sports.　  B. He began to build up his body.
 C. He joined a sports team.　　　　　D. He made friends with a runner.
58. The underlined word “exploits” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ______.
 A. journeys　 B. researches　 C. adventures　 D. operations.
59. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Saunders?
　a. He ran his first marathon. 　　　  　b. He skied alone in the North Pole.
　c. He rode his bike in a forest.　　　　　d. He planned an adventure to the South Pole.
 A. a c d b　　 　B. c d a b 　　　　　　  C. a c b d　　　　　   D. c a b d
60. What does the story mainly tell us abut Saunders?
 A. He is a success in sports. 　　　　　  B. He is the best British skier.
 C. He is Ridgway's favorite  student. `　　　　D. He is a good instructor at school.
