阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
The yearly Academy Awards ceremony was once a private affair. Now, because of television, it is very much a public affair. Hundreds of people gather in Hollywood to see the Oscars presented to outstanding(杰出的) actors, and others involved(参与) in the motion picture industry. Millions more watch on television.
It all began on May 16, 1929, when 270 men and women sat down to dinner at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. There was no secret about the winners. The names of the winners had been known for months. Janet Gaynor, for example, had won as Best Actress. Douglas Fairbanks presented her with the famous gold statue(塑像). The little statue was not then called Oscar. Like a new actor, Oscar was unknown. About six years later, it somehow got that renowned name. A number of explanations have been offered for its origin(由来), but nobody knows the true story for certain.
Nowadays the results of the Oscar voting are kept secret. Only two people know the winners before the names are announced at the ceremony. The counting of votes is not done by one group of people but by different groups. Nobody except two members of an accounting(计票) company sees the final results.
The information is not kept in open files(卷宗). Winners' names are placed in closed envelopes. The accountants each carry a complete set of envelopes to the ceremony. One set is simply a spare to be used in case something happens to the other one.
56.As used in Paragraph 2, renowned means ______.
A.strange B.wonderful C.much-disliked D.famous
57.May 16, 1929 marks ______.
A.Douglas Fairbanks' first winning of an Accademy Award
B.The first time Oscar got its name
C.The first time the Awards were kept secret
D.Janet Gaynor's recognition as Best Actress
58.Two sets of envelopes are prepared for the ceremony ______.
A.one for New York, one for Hollywood
B.in order to be perfectly safe
C.one for the ceremony, one for the newspapers
D.just because that is the custom
B
When the famous dancer Fred Astaire was interviewed for a job by a Hollywood producer, the movie “expert” turned him down, saying, “Can't sing. Can't act. Dances a little.” Here's another stupid mistake. When the great scientist Albert Einstein was at school, his teachers considered him rather dull. And a final story, the famous Polish pianist Paderewski was told by a teacher that he'd never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.
What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences? First, true genius(天才) cannot be suppressed(压抑). For some reason or other it works its way out. Second, early judgements of a person's abilities may be unfair or just wrong. Third, when there is a real determination to succeed, obstacles fall by the wayside.
The famous motto “ad astra per aspera” can be translated as “To the stars through hardships.” Astaire, Einstein and Paderewski proved their critics wrong.
59.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.Fred Astaire was a famous dancer. B.True ability will always make itself known.
C.Some people never get discouraged D.Albert Einstein proved his teachers wrong.
60.When Paderewski's teachers told him he'd never be a success, they were ______.
A.being humorous B.cheerful, though concerned
C.somewhat hesitant D.seriously mistaken
61.“Ad astra per aspera” is used in the passage ______.
A.as a motto for the three men's lives
B.to show the value of Latin
C.to send the reader to the dictionary
D.to point out that genius is always recognized early
62.The writer of the passage thinks that the reader ______.
A.knows that the three men were successes
B.someday dreams to become like one of the men
C.sympathizes with(同情) the poor teachers of the three men
D.knows that Fred Astaire was an actor famous for performing Shakespeare's plays
C
The Erie canal(运河) was the first important national waterway built in the US. It crossed New York from Buffalo on Lake Erie Troy to Albany on the Hudson River. It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. The canal served as a route over which industrial goods could flow into the west, and materials could pour into the east. The Erie canal helped New York develop into the nation's largest city.
The building of the canal was paid for entirely by the state of New York. It cost $7 143 789, but it soon gained its price many times over. Between 1825, when the canal was opened, and 1882, when toll charges(过运河费) were stopped, the state collected $121 461 891.
For a hundred years before the Erie was built, people had been talking about a canal which could join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton. Those who were against the canal laughingly called it “Clinton's Ditch(沟)”. Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it. He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal, but they were unsuccessful.
Clinton became governor of New York in 1817, and shortly afterwards, on July 4,1817, broke ground for the canal in Rome, N.Y. The first part of the canal was completed in 1820. As the canal grew, towns along its course developed fast. The length of the canal is 363 miles.
63.We can see that the Erie Canal ______.
A.joined the Great Lakes together
B.crossed New York from north to south
C.played an important part in developing New York City
D.was the first waterway built in the US
64.It can be inferred that ______ into the Atlantic Ocean.
A.the Great Lakes flow B.the Hudson River flows
C.Lake Erie flows D.the Erie Canal flows
65.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The Erie Canal brought profits of over $114 000 000.
B.It's 363 miles from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.
C.The West was more advanced than the East when the canal was built.
D.Many other states helped New York built the canal.
66.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Clinton broke ground for the canal at both ends.
B.Clinton started building the canal before he became governor.
C.All parts of the canal were completed at the same time.
D.Construction of the canal took eight years.
D
Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural(文化的) difference, not an economic(经济的) one. Knowing your own psychological(心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very unusual in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.
The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.
Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure. It is almost impossilbe, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.
67.The first sentence in Paragraph 1 “Not eveyone in the world requires the same amount of space” means “______”.
A.Not two people need exactly the same amount of living space
B.Living space requirements are not always the same
C.The world requires the same amount of living space
D.Nobody needs a required amount of living space
68.Some families gather closer to each other at home than others because ______.
A.they have limited living space
B.they are brought up in a large family
C.it satisfies their psychological space needs
D.the children in the family sleep in the same bed with their parents
69.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Americans are trained to live in the large rooms at birth.
B.Economic situation decides one's amount of space needs.
C.People in various countries demand different psychological space.
D.Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it affects your future.
70.According to the writer of the passage, psychological space needs ______.
A. are not affected by income at all
B.can hardly be changed altogether
C.can be changed if you make up your mind to do so
D.have nothing to do with cultural background
71.The best title for this passage is ______.
A.American Way of Living
B.Psychological Space
C.Space Needs in Different Countries
D.Psychological Space and Economic Pressure

When Johnson called again, the manager received him very politely. “That is a most remarkable oil you brought us, Mr Johnson,” he said. Johnson nodded his smooth, dark head. That was something he knew very well.“I've never seen anything like it,” the manager admitted. Johnson nodded again.“No?” he said politely. Then he added, “But I think you will, sir. A very great deal of it.” He appeared to think for a moment. “I think you will find it will be on sale seven, perhaps, eight years from now.” He smiled.
The manager thought that was uncertain. He said, “It is better than our fish oils. I admit that.”“So I am told, sir,” agreed Johnson.
“Have you any plans to produce it yourself, Mr Johnson?” Johnson smiled again.
“Would I be showing it to you if I had?”
“We might add some chemicals to one of our own fish oils,” said the manager.“It would be expensive to do that, even if you could,” Johnson said gently.“Besides,” he added,“I am told that this oil will be much cheaper than your best fish oils. Cheaper than any vegetalbe oil, in fact.”
“Perhaps,” said the manage.“Well, I suppose you want to make an arrangement, Mr Johnson. Shall we discuss it?”
“Of course,” said Johnson. “There are two ways of dealing with a situation of this sort. The usual one is to prevent it altogether or at least to delay it as long as possible. That is, of course, the best way.” The manager nodded. He knew plenty about all that.
“But I am so sorry for you, because, you see, that is not possible this time.” The manager had his doubts, but all he said was an inquiring(asking), “Oh?”
“The other way,” continued Johnson,“is to produce yourself before the trouble starts.”
72.The manager thought of adding chemicals to the fish oil to make it ______.
A.cheaper than the new oil B.more quickly

On the morning of last Friday, Peter went to school as usual. He was walking along the road when he saw a well uncovered. He thought it was dangerous for passers-by, so he decided to cover the well. The cover was so heavy that he took great trouble to remove it. At last he managed to cover the well. Hardly had he turned his back and gone when he heard a cry for “Help” coming from the well. So he turned back and moved the cover away. To his surprise, a worker was inside the well. Peter tried his best to pull the worker out of the well. After that Peter covered the well again properly.
