There is a workman in Britain who earns as much as a company director.He is Max Quarterman, 36 thirty-year-old plasterer(泥瓦匠).
Max lives in an upper middle-class housing area.His 37 are mostly bank managers,airline pilots and the like,but Max’s seven-bedroom house— 38 $80 000 —is the largest in the area. 39 outside the house are Max’s $7 000 sports car and his wife’s Morris Mini. 40 is a splendid colour TV set and the family’s 41 —a circular bath with gold-plated taps.There are also many labour-saving devices(装置)and beautiful and expensive 42 .
How can a plasterer 43 all this?The answer,says Max,is 44 .In partnership with another plasterer,Max does contract(合同)plastering jobs for a firm.The owner of the firm 45 them as human machines,the best and quickest in the 46 ,who can do as much in two days as 47 two-man team can in two weeks.
How do they 48 it?Not by working overtime,they work a 49 eight-hour day,five days a week.The secret 50 in Max’s hod(桶)in which he carries the plaster to the site of the 51 .Max’s has a super-hod—it contains double the usual quantity of plaster,and Max,a strong fellow,runs when he carries it.More time is thus 52 to get on with the plastering.Besides, 53 man wastes time smoking,and they 54 their lunch break to a total of an hour a day.Now Max earns over $800 a 55 which is four times the average weekly pay in Britain today,and if he gets as little as $400,it’s a disaster.

第三部分：阅读理解（共２０小题；每小题２分，满分４０分）
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
You need the following things to carry out the experiment:scissors,white paper,coffee filter,black marker(记号笔）(not permanent非永久性），water,coffee cup.
What do you do?
1.Cut a circle out of the coffee filter(滤纸）.(It doesn’t have to be a perfect circle,just a round shape that’s about as big as your spread-out hand.)
2.With the black marker,draw a line across the circle,about 1 inch up from the bottom.
3.Put some water in the cup enough to cover the bottom.Curl the paper circle so it fits inside the cup.Make sure the bottom of the circle is in the water.
4.Watch as the water flows up the paper.When it touches the black line,you’ll start to see some different colors.
5.Leave the paper in the water until the colors go all the way to the top edge.How many colors can you see?
How does Black Magic work?
Most nonpermanent markers use inks that are made of colored pigments(颜料）and water.When you dip the paper in water,the dried pigments dissolve.As the water travels up the paper,it carries the pigments along with it.Different-colored pigments are carried along at different rates;some travel farther and faster than others.How fast each pigment travels depends on the size of the pigment molecule（分子）and on how strongly the pigment is attracted to the paper.Since the water carries the different pigments at different rates,the black ink separates to show the colors that were mixed to make it.
In this experiment,you’re using a technique called chromatography(色层分离法）.By examining where all the ingredients(成分）ended up,scientists can figure out what was combined to make the mixture.
56.It can be inferred that you need the scissors________.
A.to put the filter in the cup
B.to cut the filter
C.help to draw a line across the filter
D.measure the distance of the line from the bottom
57.In order to do the experiment well,________.
A.you need to fill the coffee cup with water
B.you need to make the coffee cup half full of water
C.you need to put enough water to cover the black line on the circle completely
D.you only need to put enough water to cover the bottom of the circle
58.The reason why different colours appear is that________.
A.ink-makers always use black to cover the other colours
B.water can separate a colour on a coffee filter
C.different kinds of matter in a mixture are carried along by water at different rates and they end up in different places
D.colours travel at different speeds
59.This passage is probably meant for ________.
A.young studentsB.scientistsC.paintersD.teachers
B
New York(Reuters Health)Researchers at Harvard University have timed babies’ ability to retain(keep)long-term memories to the period during which certain regions of the brain develop and mature(成熟）.
Conor Liston and Dr.Jerome Kagan in Cambridge,Massachusetts found that long-term memory—the ability to recall a thing four months later—only begins to develop after babies reach one year of age.
The authors got their findings by testing the long-term memory of babies exposed to a series of actions when they were 9,17 and 24 months of age.Four months later,the now—21 month and 28-month-olds recalled the actions well,while the younger babies did not.
Kagan explained that the human brain starts a dramatic(戏剧性的）period of maturation between the ages of 8 and 12 months.The current findings suggest that this period of maturation is connected with long-term memory.Thirteen-month-olds,whose brains were relatively immature during their exposure to the events,were less able to recall them than older babies,whose brains had already gone through a period of rapid neurological(神经病学的）growth at the time of exposure.
Kagan explained that research has shown that between 8 and 12 months of age,babies experience “dramatic growth” in the regions of the brain known as the frontal lobe and the hippocampus,a part of the brain that is important for making memories.During that period,he said,individual nerve cells(细胞）physically grow.
60.The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A.researchers have found from when a baby is able to remember things for a long time
B.researchers tried to find exactly when a baby begins to develop its long-term memory
C.8-to 12-month-olds haven’t had a good memory yet
D.researchers have tried to find out how well babies can remember things
61.According to this passage,________is able to recall what happened four months ago.
A.a 12-month-old baby and a 16-month-old baby
B.a 11-month-old baby and a 17-month-old baby
C.a 17-month-old baby
D.any baby who has reached the age of 13
62.A baby can recall what happened long ago probably because________.
A.it has seen enough of the world
B.its brain has already gone through a period of rapid neurological growth
C.its brain is going through a period of rapid neurological growth
D.its head has grown big enough
C
Payments to hospitals that serve Medicare(家庭医疗照顾）patients will increase next year,but doctors demanding Congress(国会）to reverse(推迟）expected cuts will have to wait longer to learn their fate.
Payments for each hospital outpatient(门诊病人）service will increase an average 3.7 percent,according to figures by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid(公共医疗补助制）Services.Rural hospitals will get slightly more.
In all,payments to hospitals for outpatient services are expected to be $18.7 billion in 2003,compared with $17.7 billion in 2002,the government said.
The increase is part of a transition(演变，变迁）to a new payment system that took effect two years ago,thus hospitals are paid specifically for outpatient services.Before,as hospital charges rose,a beneficiary’s（受益人)co-payments did too.
Congress wrote the new payment system in 1999 to help bring down the costs for beneficiaries,who were often paying up to 50 percent in co-payments.The new payment system gradually bring those beneficiary costs down to 20 percent of charges.
Government officials said the data on doctor payments,which is calculated under a different formula(方案）from hospitals,was delayed because analysts are reviewing payments to anesthesiologists(麻醉学医师）.
Doctors have asked Congress for more money,saying the present Medicare payment formula depends on the state of the economy,which is now struggling.
Doctors have taken a 5.4 percent cut and are facing an additional 12 percent reduction,equaling about 11 billion,over the next three years,according to the American Medical Association.
Lawmakers on both sides have said they want to address the doctor payment problem,and discussions are under way to try to pass a bill when Congress returns after the elections.
The payment changes are being published Friday’s Federal Register but do not take effect until January.
63.Which of the following will get the most benefit from the policy?
A.Doctors. B.Congress. C.Hospitals. D.Outpatients.
64.It can be inferred that if the policy is carried out,________.
A.doctors will earn relatively less money than before
B.patients will have to pay 20 percent more money to hospitals
C.patients will only have to pay 30 percent of the amount they used to
D.hospitals will get less money from the government
65.It is suggested that________.
A.hospital charges are being reduced because the patients are paying less
B.hospitals will face more financial(经济上的）difficulties than before
C.the government won’t consider the income of doctors within the next few years
D.the government has paid special attention to the interests of the patients
66.According to the passage,which of the following is true?
A.Doctors have succeeded in persuading the government to pay money to the hospitals.
B.The new policy is expected to take effect in January 2003.
C.The government has just had elections and will soon return to their work.
D.Most doctors and lawmakers don’t agree to the new policy.

Superconductivity(超导）was discovered in 1911 by Onnes while he was studying frozen mercury but more than 40 years passed before physicists were able to offer an explanation for superconductivity.The accepted theory,developed in the 1950s,holds that the basic movement of electrons(电子）changes at very low temperatures.Electrons are tiny particles that make up the outer part of an atom(原子）,circling rapidly around the nucleus(原子核）of the atom.In a regular conductor(导体）,the outermost electrons are not tied tightly to the atoms,and so they move around relatively freely.The flow of these electrons is an electric current(电流）.
At normal temperatures,a conductor’s electrons cannot move completely freely through the metal because they are bumped(撞）around by the metals atoms.But according to the leading theory of superconductivity,when a metal is very cold,electrons form pairs.Then,like couples moving on a crowded dance floor but never bumping,the paired electrons are able to move freely through the metal.In pairing up,it seems,the electrons are able to mix together and move in agreement without trouble.
This seems to serve as an explanation of superconductivity at extremely low temperatures,but in 1986 scientists in Switzerland found that some metal-containing ceramics(陶器）are superconductors at much higher temperatures.By 1992,scientists had developed ceramics that become super conducting at—297 F,and some researchers speculated that room-temperature superconductors may be possible.
The new ceramic materials can be kept at their super conducting temperatures,with relatively inexpensive liquid nitrogen(氮）rather than the much colder and much more costly liquid helium(氦）by metal superconductors.However,for the time being,superconductivity is finding application(应用）mostly in scientific research and in some kinds of medical imaging devices.
67.The flow of an electronic current in a regular conductor is made possible by the fact that ________.
A.electrons circle rapidly around the atom
B.the outermost electrons move relatively freely around the atom
C.the innermost electrons stick to the atom
D.the outermost electrons are tied tightly to the inner atoms
68.At very low temperatures,superconductivity in a metal occurs where ________.
A.electrons don’t move freely through the metal
B.electrons are crowded together
C.paired electrons move uninterruptedly
D.paired electrons dance together up and down
69.The discovery made in superconductivity in 1992 is very important because________.
A.metal-containing ceramics turned out to be superconductors
B.higher-temperature superconductivity was made possible
C.ceramics were found to be superconductors
D.room-temperature superconductors were developed
70.The best advantage of new ceramic materials over metal superconductors is ________.
A.their inexpensive cost
B.their more practical uses
C.their better quality in conductivity
D.their nature for application in many fields
71.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Superconductivity Has Greatly Affected People’s Life
B.What is Superconductivity?
C.How Superconductivity Is Made Use of?
D.Developments of Superconductivity Research

Britain’s 101-year-old Queen Mother,who died on March 30,was famous for never giving interviews.However,her few publicized comments showed humor,a strong will and love for life.
In the 1920s,many men wanted to marry lady Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon.She only agreed to marry the future King George Ⅵ when he got down on bended knee for a third time to ask her.But she never forgave her brother Edward Ⅷ for stepping down from the throne (王位) in 1936 to marry divorced (离婚) woman Wallis Simpson.This meant that her shy husband became king.“Those last few days were like sitting on the edge of a volcano,”she said of the crisis.
The Queen Mother’s most famous role in British life was to try to boost Londoners’ morale.(鼓舞士气) during the World War Ⅱbombing (轰炸),especially in the hardest-hit East End of London.When Buckingham Palace (白金汉宫) was hit by a bomb in 1940,she said,“I am glad we have been bombed.It makes me feel I can look the East End (people) in the face.”
Famously,she refused suggestions that she and her children,the princesses Elizabeth and Margaret,should seek refuge (寻求避难)in Canada until the end of the war.“The children won’t go without me,I won’t leave the king and the king will never go,”she declared.“I should die if I had to leave.”
After better times returned,her love of expensive parties and high life continued,well into her old age.Her bank overdraft (透支) reached 4 million pounds.
She enjoyed fishing until well into her 80s but once choked (噎住) on a fishbone.After doctors removed the bone,she joked,“After all these years of fishing,the fish are having their revenge (报复).”
In the end,she outlived the 20th century with energy and enthusiasm.“I love life,that’s my secret,”she told a friend when she was in her 80s. In a television interview last week,her grandson Prince Charles said,“She saw the funny side of life and we laughed until we cried.”
Hundreds of people have signed books of condolence (哀悼) across the country,including former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
“She loved her country and in return her country loved her.”said Prime Minister Tony Blair.
72.The Queen Mother refused to seek refuge in Canada with her children because ________.
A.she didn’t think it safe to stay in Canada.
B.she wasn’t willing to go without her husband
C.she hoped to boost Londoners’ morale
D.she wanted to earn good fame through the war
73.When Queen Mother went into her old age,she ________.
A.was tired of peaceful life
B.began to show interest in fishing
C.was very luxury (奢侈)
D.looked down upon many things people had done
74.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A.George Ⅵ became king of Britain when his wife was in her late thirties.
B.Queen Mother hasn’t expected her husband to become a king.
C.Buckingham Palace was burned to the ground during the World War Ⅱ.
D.Queen Mother showed bravery in face of the World War Ⅱ.
75.From the passage we know that Queen Mother was ________.
A.humorous and brave
B.talkative and humorous
C.talkative but shy
D.brave but shy
