One of the greatest mysteries (奥秘) of the world, for which scientists have so far been unable to find any satisfactory explanation, is the Bermuda Triangle: This is an area of the Western Atlantic between Bermuda and Florida, where since 1945 at least a hundred ships and planes and over a thousand people have disappeared. No broken parts of ships or planes have been found, no bodies, lifebelts or any other evidence (迹象) of disaster. It is as if these planes, ships and people had never existed. In some cases a radio message had been received from an aircraft reporting everything in order a few minutes before all contact (联系) was lost. In other cases a weak S. O. S. message had been picked up and, in perfect weather, unexplained references to fog and loss of bearings (方位). There have been references to the curious white light which is a feature of the sea in part of this area, and it is interesting to note that not only was this white light observed by the astronauts on their way to space, but was also noted by Columbus, five centuries ago.

C
He was the baby with no name. Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912' his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him our baby. In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: To the memory of an unknown child. He has rested there ever since.
But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. This is our baby, says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula,42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer.
Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared the
DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years."
Adapted from People, November 25, 20025

67.This text is mainly about" how__________.
A. the unknown baby's body was taken from the north Atlantic

Deserts are found where there is little rainfall or where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks' time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive (存活)if the rain is
spread throughout the year, If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand , rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing -very, very slowly ---as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that :have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day' a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
68.Many plants may survive in deserts when_________.
A. the rain is spread out in a year B. the rain falls only in a few weeks
C. there is little rain in a year D. it is dry all the year round
69.Sand dunes are formed when_________.
A. sand piles up gradually B. there is plenty of rain in a year
C. the sea has dried up over the years D. pieces of rock get smaller
70.The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably means that in a desert there is_______.
A. too much sand B. more sand than before
C. nothing except sand D. something else besides sand
71.It can be learned from the text that in a desert________.
A. there is no rainfall throughout the year B. life exists in rough conditions
C. all sand dunes are a few feet high D. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat

WASHINGTON The largest ozone (臭氧) hole ever observed has opened up over Antarctica, according to NASA scientists. They believe it is a sign that ozone-destroying gases
produced years ago are just now causing the largest quantities of ozone to disappear.
This year's South Pole ozone hole spreads over about 28.5 million square kilometers, an area three times larger than the land mass of the United States.
Pictures of the hole have been offered by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The hole appears as a giant blue mass, totally covering Antarctica and stretching (延伸) to the southern tip of South America.
The last time the ozone hole was close to this size was in 1998, when it spread over about 27.2 million square kilometres, NASA said.
Paul Newman, who works with NASA's Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometrer (TOMS) instrument on a NASA satellite, said ozone-watchers had expected a big hole this year, but not this big.
The Antarctic ozone hole, first observed in 1985, is caused by the depletion (消耗、破坏) of Earth-protecting ozone by human-made chemicals such as chloroflurocarbons, known as CFCs.
Even though these chemicals were forbidden to use from the beginning of 1987, they remain in the atmosphere and will continue to do so for years, Newman said.
The peak years for the giant ozone hole will continue until 2010 or so, Newman said.
This year's large hole may have been caused by a change in a swirling high-level air current over Antarctica, which circles the area and contains the ozone hole, Newman said. REUTERS
72.The text is mainly about .
A. the discovery of the largest ozone hole
B. the discovery of the Antarctic ozone hole
C. the history of the Antarctic ozone hole
D. the size of the largest ozone hole
73.The time 1985 was talked about in the text because it was when the Antarctic ozone hole .
A. was watched by Newman B. was first closed
C. disappeared D. was first watched
74.There is a giant ozone hole over Antarctica because over there.
A. human-made chemicals have protected ozone
B. ozone has protected the earth
C. human-made chemicals have destroyed ozone
D. human-made chemicals have increased ozone
75.When Newman says "The peak years for the giant ozone hole will continue until 2010 or so,
he means .
A. During the next ten years the ozone hole will become smaller and smaller
B. During the next ten years the ozone hole will become larger and larger
C. During the next ten years the ozone hole will remain exactly the same
D. The ozone hole won't become too small until about ten years later

Dear Jane, Barbara and Roger,
As you know, we've been looking for a new house for some time.Now that all our children have left home, we find that the house is too big for us. Also, since your father retired, there has been no reason for us to stay in this district. Although we like our neighbors, we've decided to move south for two reasons. First, the weather will suit us better, and second, we'll be a little nearer to your Uncle George and Auntie Hilda. It will make visiting each other much simpler.
We stayed with your Uncle and Aunt last weekend and saw several houses. One of them sounded as if it were just what we wanted. The right number of rooms, a small garden, etc. When we saw it, we nearly died! It was in a terrible condition and would have cost a fortune to make habitable. The roof and all the walls needed repairing and the whole inside redecorating. After that, we were very careful about believing details from the estate(房地产)agent. The next two that we saw were not much better, but the fourth house was exactly what we wanted. It was empty, so we're going to move in immediately. We gave details of our house to the estate agent only last week, but its already been sold. We'll put all your things in boxes and take them with us. Youll have to sort them out, throwing away what you don't want.
Can you all come next weekend? You can have a nice rest in the country. Telephone on Wednesday at the new number to let us know.
Lots of love,
Mum and Dad
P.S. Bring some old clothes, because between the rests, you'll be sorting out your belongings and digging the garden!

C A Tight Situation
Sometimes funny memories are the most special way to remember a beloved lover. It helps take away some of the feeling of loss. Before he passed away, my husband loved to share this story with our friends. Now, it makes a smile to share this story with you.
Our neighbor's son was getting married in 1971 at a church, and we were invited. We immediately rushed out of the store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.
June 29 came and, of course, I had not lost a single pound; in fact, I had gained two. But, I thought a new girdle(收腹健美裤)would solve my problem. So on our way to the wedding, we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a size large girdle.
The clerk round the box with the described girdle, marked "L", and asked if I would like to try it on. "Oh, no, large will fit just right. I won't need to try it on."
The next morning was hot, so I waited to get dressed until about forty-five minutes before time to go. I opened the girdle box only to find a new $49.95 girdle in a size small. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake twenty pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? Finally, my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it, and I was ready to go.
As we walked into the church, he asked if I could make it. Now, he was getting worried because I was breathing funny. I told him that it would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight-and-one-half seconds--the minister blessed everything except my girdle!
My knees were blue and my legs lost all the feeling. My husband was asking questions and trying to com-fort me.
As soon as the minister pronounced them married, I rushed out with my husband. "Please, just get me out of here! "I said.
We ran out to our car, and once there he opened the front and back passenger doors against the next car. Right there, before God, human and the wedding party, I took off that girdle. When the girdle flew out of my hand and landed under the car next to ours, my husband was laughing so hard and we drove away.
Over the years, he and I had often wondered what the people of that church thought the next morning when they found $49.95, size small girdle in their parking lot.

When we think about people who are leaders, we often get a mental picture of someone who is older, smarter, and wiser than ourselves. Studies of leadership, though, have usually found that there is almost no relationship between skill as a leader and traditional measures of intelligence.
Some recent research by psychologist Red Fiedle and his colleagues suggests that both intelligence and experience may be important--but just now how important depends upon how stressful the work situation is and what kind of task is to be accomplished. The researchers obtained measures of intelligence, experience, performance, and stress.
Overall, these variables did not relate to one another. Men with high and low intelligence were equally likely to give good performance, as were men with more and less experience, or more and less stress with their bosses. However, when you look separately at those men who have high stress with their bosses, the picture changes.
In high stress situations, there was no association between intelligence and performance, but there was between experience and performance. In other words, in difficult situations, it was helpful "to know the ropes". In low stress situations, the findings were just the opposite. Experience was not related to good performance, but intelligence was. That is, when things are going well, intelligence is very useful in leadership.
A study of fire fighters performance under high and low stress conditions also found the experienced officers performed best under situations of stress. None of this is really very surprising. If you have ever had a supervisory job, you probably found that at least as much energy went into handling (管理)people as went into handling the job itself. Tests of intelligence--at least the ones we have now--do not predict success in handling people.
68.What kind of people can do the best job in stress situation?
A.intelligent people B.experienced people C.calm people D.skilled people
69.In the second sentence of the last paragraph , "a supervisory job" refers to .
A.a management job B.an advisory job C.a teaching job D.an organizing job
70.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.In stress situations, there are no association between experience and performance.
B.Some recent research suggests that most leaders are lack of intelligence.
C.In low stress situations, intelligence plays an important role in leadership.
D.Generally speaking leaders are likely to be cleverer than ordinary people.
71.In the second sentence of the fourth paragraph, "to know the ropes"most probably means .
A.to understand the situation B.to control the situation
C.to get rid of the situation D.to make sure what to do about the situation

"Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell."
This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.
We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.
But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?
Picture this: You're rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.
One family in the UK went "back in time" to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Lyn, said, "It was hard physically, but not mentally." She believed life was less materialistic. "The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes," She said. The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a "trendy (时髦的), beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things."
Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!
Don't be available all the time, Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don't check your e-mail every day.
Don't reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.
72.The passage is mainly about .
A.problem with technology
B.improvements of our life with technology
C.the important roles technology plays in our everyday life
D.major changes which will be likely to happen to technology
73.The writer quoted(引用) what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order
to .
A.share a truth about life
B.tell us what life was like long time ago
C.make us wonder what causes such a thing to happen
D.point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same
74.Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940s house? Because .
A.they liked to live simple lives
B.they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions
C.they were troubled by modern inventions
D.living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them
75.What do you think the underlined word "available?in the 1st suggestion offered by the writer mean?
A.Busy on line B.Free. C.Be able to D.Be found by others.

A
When he took office, George W. Bush, son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush, became the first son to follow his father into the White House since John Quincy Adams followed John Adams in the early 19th century.
Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, the first child of George Herbert Walker Bush and Barbara Pierce Bush. Although George Herbert Walker Bush began his career in the oil industry, he finally served as a congressman (国会议员), and vice (副的) president and president of the United States.
At the age of two, Bush moved with his parents from Connecticut to Odessa, Texas, where his father took up the oil business. After a year in Texas, the family moved to California for business reasons. A year later, the family returned to Texas and settled in Midland, where Bush lived from 1950 to 1959.
In 1959, again for business reasons, the family moved to Houston, Texas. In 1961 Bush left Texas and went to Andover, Massachusetts, to attend Phillips Academy, a boarding school that his father had also attended.
At Phillips, Bush played basketball, baseball, and football. He was best known for being head cheerleader. In 1964 he enrolled at Yale University in Connecticut; his father and grandfather had also attended Yale. At Yale, Bush was considered an average student, but he was popular with his classmates.
Bush graduated from Yale with a bachelor's degree in history in 1968. Then he joined the Air National Guard and remained in the Guard until 1973. After earning his MBA from Harvard in 1975, Bush returned to Midland. Like his father, he first entered the oil industry as a "landsman".
However, Bush's oil companies never enjoyed great success. He took more interest in politics. He helped his father to become president and in 1994 he himself was elected governor of Texas.
In the summer of 1999, Bush began to run for the president of the USA and on January 20, 2001, George W. Bush, hand raised, took the oath (宣誓) of office to become the 43rd president of the US.

An old Indian story says that the game of chess(国际象棋) was invented by Sissa Ben, Prime Minister of King Shirham.As soon as the invention was finished he gave it to the king, who was glad and asked him what he would like to have in return. To the king's surprise, what Sissa wanted seemed very little. "Your Majesty, "said the minister, kneeling in front of the king."I want nothing but some wheat.Please put a grain of wheat on the first square of the chessboard(棋盘), two on the second, four on the third, eight on the fourth…and so on, doubling the number for each following square, give me enough grains to cover the 64 squares of the chessboard."
"You don't ask for much, my honest servant.You might have asked for gold or money, "said the king and then ordered a bag of wheat brought to the palace.
But when the counting began, with one grain for the first square, two for the second, four for the third, and so on, the bag was emptied before the 20th square.More bags were brought, but the number of grain needed for the following squares increased so rapidly that the king soon realized that he was not able to keep his promise even with all the crops in the whole India! In fact, he would have needed 8,466, 744,073, 709, 511, 615 grains, which would be as much as that they would produce in about 2, 000 years!
Now the king found himself deep in debt to his minister. He had either to face the terrible trouble all his life or to cut off Sissa's head, which, it is said, he finally chose.

London Thursday July 26 (Reuters)--Ian Johnstone missed his girlfriend so much that he flew back to Britain from Australia to propose to her. The problem is that she flew in the opposite direction.
He and Amy Dolby even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting-room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights.
Dolby, heartbroken when she arrived at Johnstone's Sydney apartment to find he had flown to London, told the Times: "It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us. He is the most romantic person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive (冲动的) people. We are always trying to surprise each other."
After an l l,000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Johnstone's astonished flat mate asking what she was doing there.
"The terrible truth dawned when I found that Ian's rucksack and most of his clothes were missing. I sat on the end of his bed and cried my eyes out. And that really annoyed me." She said.
Johnstone, a 27-year-old bricklayer, had taken a year off to travel round Australia. But he was missing Dolby, a 26-year-old secretary, so much he got a job on a Sydney building site and started saving for a surprise.
He then flew home to Britain and went to her apartment armed with an engagement ring, champagne and flowers.
"I really missed Amy and I'd been thinking about her all the time. I thought she was winding me up when she phoned me from Australia," he said.
Johnstone then asked Dolby to marry him on the phone. "1 didn't know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted," she said.
Dolby was given a short tour of Sydney by Johnstone's friends and Johnstone had to stay in Britain for two weeks because he could not change his ticket.

The group of tourists walking through Stockholm's old street never knew what hit them. As they admired Swedish art works in a storefront window, one of their mobile phones chirped(唧唧叫) with an anonymous (匿名的) note: "Try the blue sweaters. They keep you warm in the winter."
The tourist had just been "bluejacked" secretly sent a text message using short-range wireless technology called Bluetooth.
The more people get Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones both sender and receiver need them for this to work the more there is likely to be mischievous (恶作剧的) messaging.
Websites are already offering tips on bluejacking, and collections of astonished reactions quickly turn up on the Internet. One site, www.bluejacked.com, was set up by a British teenager.
"I bluejacked three or four people," says 13-year-old Ellie in UK, who runs the site and makes bluejacking a daily affair. Bluetooth has a range of about nine metres. Ellie used it to send a note to a man in a cafe asking how his coffee was and saying that she liked his wife's giasses.
Ellie says he looked here and there to try to figure out where the message came from, even sending text messages back and forth with his wife, but to no avail.
Bluetooth is fast becoming more common on new mobile phones, though Forrester Research says at present only 9 per cent of phones in Europe have such a function.
The technology is handy for people wanting to use wireless headsets with their phones or for sending data by phone to Bluetooth-enabled printers.
When Bluetooth is activated (激活), it seeks out other equipped mobile phones by itself and sets up a link. Bluetooth phones can be set to block anonymous messaging, but people who carry them don't necessarily know that.
71.What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. The meaning of the word "bluejack". B. The technology called Bluetooth.
C. Anonymous messages. D. Tips on bluejacking.
72.When a tourist was "bluejacked", he or she might .
A. receive an anonymous and often mischievous message
B. send others a text message using short-range wireless technology called Bluetooth
C. be persuaded to buy a blue sweater
D. get a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone
73.We may learn from the text that .
A. with Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones people can send anonymous notes to friends far away
B. 13-year-old Ellie makes bluejacking to earn some money by advertising
C. not many people in Europe now carry Bluetooth mobile phones
D. It's not easy for activated Bluetooth to set up a link with other equipped mobile phones
74.What does the underlined phrase "to no avail" (paragraph 6) probably mean?
A. Without a reply. B. Of no use. C. No problem. D. No signal.
75.People often receive anonymous messages though they don't want to because .
A. many of them probably don't know how to block such messages
B. it's not necessary for people to know how to block such messages
C. their phones are not able to block anonymous messaging
D. it's just impossible for people to reject any messages

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
A
The next time you try for a high-ranking post, you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending (推荐)phone call " made"by US President George W. Bush or British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Of course, neither of them could really do that for you-you would just "borrow "their voices.
AT & T labs will start selling speech software that, it says, is so good at reproducing the sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring the voices of long-dead famous people back to life.
The software, which turns printed text into speech, makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a persons voice to say things that the person never actually said.
Possible customers for the software, which is priced at the thousands of dollars, include telephone call centers, companies that make software that reads digital files aloud, and makers of automated voice devices. The advances raise several problems. Who, for example, owns the rights to a famous persons voice? (Some experts even believe that new contracts will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses. )
And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud(假冒),would the synthesized(合成的)voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they knew?
Even Mr Fruchterman, one of AT & T lab's possible first customers, said he wondered what the new technology might bring. "Just like you can't trust a photograph any more, "he said, "you won't be able to trust a voice either. "
56.With the help of the speech software, it is most possible .
A. to improve a famous persons speech
B. to say what you want in another's voice
C. to make a speech much more easily
D. to help you to find a better job
57.If the speech software is widely used, .
A. people would no longer believe each other
B. it would not be necessary to go for a speech by a famous person
C. no radio or TV broadcasters would be needed
D. recording a voice alone would not be taken as a proof in the court
58.According to the passage, you can infer that .
A. the software will turn out to be an immediate success in the market
B. the government will forbid the sale of the software in the market
C. it's hard to decide whether the software will enjoy popularity
D. the software will soon prove to be nothing but rubbish
59.The passage mainly wants to .
A. introduce a new software
B. explain the disadvantage of a new invention
C. advertise a new kind of produce
D. describe the future market of a new produce
B
Millions of women use cosmetics, often called 'make-up'. The cosmetics industry is one of the biggest in the world. Most large stores sell cosmetics, and there are always shops at airports selling them cheaply.
The word 'cosmetics' refers to anything that people put on their faces to make them look better. Lipstick, face powder and cream, and eye make-up are the most popular. Although more women than men use cosmetics, there are cosmetics for men as well as women.
Some people even have cosmetic surgery to make their faces look different. They have the shape of their noses and eyes changed.
The most widely used cosmetic is probably lipstick, as many women who do not wear any other make-up will often put on a little lipstick.
Lipstick is made by mixing together different oils and colors. This mixture is then allowed to get hard and is cut into the shape of a small pencil. When a woman presses the lipstick to her lips, the end of it becomes soft, and some of it sticks to her lips, giving them extra color.
Cosmetics were probably first used in India, but it was the Egyptians, six thousand years ago, who made the most use of them. Rich Egyptian women painted their eyes green and black. They used a red color to paint pretty designs on their fingernails, the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet. Pictures of Cleopatra always show her wearing a lot of make-up.
The Romans also used cosmetics. They liked to make their skin very white and to paint their eyes. They also used a kind of lipstick.
In England at one time, very rich women had baths in milk to make their skin beautiful. They also used a lot of sweet-smelling powder to stop people smelling their bodies, which were often very dirty because they did not wash very often or change their clothes.
At one time, some cosmetics were not safe. They were bad for the skin, and some of the lipsticks and powders that people used were even poisonous. Nowadays, people in the cosmetics industry take great care to make sure that everything they use is completely safe.
60.People use cosmetics .
A. only at airports B. to color their feet
C. to make themselves look better D. instead of surgery
61.'Cosmetics' refers to .
A. lipstick B. make-up C. creams D. surgery
62.In earlier times, cosmetics were .
A. never used in milk baths B. never used on the eyes
C. never used on the skin D. sometimes harmful to the skin
C
Have you ever noticed, when looking at a map of the world, that the east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa look as though they might fit together? If you have, you are not alone. In 1965 the English scientist Sir Edward Bullard used a computer to test the fit of the two continents and found that at an ocean depth of 2000 meters the match was very close indeed.
It seems too remarkable to be possible, but there is a lot of evidence to suggest that Africa was once joined to South America. For example, there is a belt of ancient rocks along the east of Brazil which corresponds with the rocks across the South Atlantic in West Africa.
There is further evidence that existing land masses were once linked. The remains of a 400-to-500-million-year-old mountain chain has been found running down the eastern part of Greenland, western Scandinavia, and through north-west Scotland and Ireland, into western Canada, eventually finding their way to north-west Africa.
Then there is the evidence from life itself. In various parts of the world today the same animals and plants can be found on land masses separated by, in some cases, thousands of miles of oceans. Did they evolve(进化)at the same time in two different places? It seems unlikely. Biologists believe that there must have been land bridges which have now sunk beneath the sea. Also fossils found in sedimentary rocks(fossils are the preserved remains of life forms)have allowed geologists to trace the same plants from South America, and Antarctica in rocks perhaps 300 million years old.
The ice that is now confined to the polar regions has always been so limited in extent. Indeed, during a period of the Earth's history known as the permocarboniferous(二叠石灰纪)age about 250-350 million years ago there is evidence from the rocks that there were glaciers covering South America, parts of Africa, and India Australia. On the other hand, in the northern hemisphere(北半球)there were deserts. If the continents were distributed(分布)as they are today, it is hard to understand how this could be.
So there is considerable evidence to show continents moved apart, and naturally many people have tried to discover how and why whole land masses moved.
63.According to the author's opinion, Africa and South America didn't move apart until .
A. 500 million years ago B. 350 million years ago
C. 200 million years ago D. 300 million years ago
64.The sentence "...eventually finding their way to north-west Africa" means .
A. We can find a way from the eastern part of Greenland to north-west Africa.
B. We can also find these remains in north-west Africa.
C. The mountain chain goes from the eastern part of Greenland to north-west Africa.
D. It is a long way from the eastern part of Greenland to north-west Africa.
65.The best title for this passage would be .
A. The Evidence of the Continental Drift B. The movement of the Two Continents
C. The Continental Drift D. The History of the Earth
66.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. We can find the same animals and plants on the two continents.
B. We can find the same remains of a 400-to-500-million-year-old mountain chain.
C. There are deserts in the northern hemisphere.
D. The same animals and plants evolved at the same time in two different places.
D
Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a persons gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up(打量)and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contacts what sociologist Erving Goffiman(1963)calls "a dimming of the lights". You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger's eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself .
If you hold eye contacts for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second -plus stare, he signals, "I know you". "I am interested in you."or "You look peculiar and I am curious about you. " This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.

In Europe people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag (曲折的)method. Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises. A few explanations for this American style are as follows:
(1)Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently.
(2)Americans, the master of the New World are rebels(叛逆者). They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.
(3)Forced to do so, they respond by "playing" with the silver.
Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of Americans innocence(无知)of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World Dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders (入侵者). However, such alertness(警觉)is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades (刀)
71.Americans use to hold their fork to pick up the salad.
A. the right hand B. the left hand
C. both hands D. either of the two hands
72.As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the
Old World to .
A. show their independence of Mother England
B. show their disrespect to Mother England
C. add a new tradition to those in Mother England
D. show off their creativeness to Mother England
73.In the sentence, the word " juggle" probably means .
A. hold B. play with
C. pick up D. lay down
74.Also in the last sentence, the two "them " refer to .
A. Americans
B. Europeans
C. Americans and Europeans separately
D. Europeans and Americans separately
75.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand .
B. The zigzag eating method is related to American characteristics.
C. The Zigzag eating method has become an American feature.
D. European people will use the American method because of its efficiency.

I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn't believe it. There were no 36 in rows or loud - sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to 37 .Though we lived "in", 38 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no "light out".
The 39 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 40 class. The new ones always went wild 41 , but this never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like 42 ; never did we have to 43 "stand up", "sit down","speak out". I don't 44 one student who didn't try his best.
The subjects were the same as these in the 45 school, but what a difference in the approach (方法) ! For example, in botany we had 46 classes in spring or fall, but instead we planted two gardens: a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few 47 things about what we had grown. In maths the students built three different kinds of storerooms- small ones 48 , but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 49 time too, designing every- thing, drawing the blueprints, figuring out the angles (角度) and so on, I didn't take 50 .But I could do the basic things with numbers. That's 51 !
52 I think I am a 53 person for having gone to the school. I can write as well as any- one else of my age, and I think better. That's probably a real big 54 between the free school and regular school- the amount of 55 .

A
We arranged that Kissinger (基辛格) would fly to Vietnam early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then with President Yapha's help, he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistani jet would fly him over the mountains to China.
Kissinger's trip was given the name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went quite smoothly. His slight illness in Islamabad received only small attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be kept shut up for at least a few days and began making arrangements for their own activities.
Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities (联络设备) between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan, it would still be important to keep it secret, so before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word - Eureka- which he would use if his mission (任务,使命) was successful and the presidential trip had been arranged.
On July 11, A1 Haig, who knew our code word, phoned to say that a cable (电报) from Kissinger had arrived.
"What's the message?" I asked. "Eureka," he replied.
56.Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because .
A. he had a stomachache
B. he needed President Yapha's help in carrying out a secret plan
C. he did not want to be seen by the press
D. he would like to take a Pakistani jet on his way back
57.The reporters in Islamabad believed that .
A. Marco Polo made a trip to China
B. Kissinger would make a journey to China
C. Kissinger was making arrangements for their activities
D. Kissinger was sick
58.Washington would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China, mainly because .
A. his trip must be kept secret
B. President Yapha would not fly together with Kissinger
C. Communication between China and Islamabad was impossible
D. A1 Haig would phone to the author to tell him about Kissinger's trip
59.From the passage we can infer that Kissinger's cable carrying the message "Eureka" must have
been sent .
A. before he had left Beijing
B. soon after he had returned to Pakistan from China
C. as soon as he had arrived in Washington on July 11
D. before he returned to Pakistan on July 11

Good evening. Chinese President Jiang Zemin and his American counterpart Bill Clinton have acknowledged their political differences, but they wrapped up their historic summit (高级会晤) emphasizing (强调) the importance of their common interest. As Mark Thun reports from Washington, the two leaders hammered out agreements on a number of issues (问题,争论点), although human rights remains a sticking point.
The two sides came to agreements over plenty of items, which could shake the world for a long time to come. The most important is probably the high- level dialogues and Consultations (磋商). The Presidents will visit each other regularly, there will be a Washington - Beijing communications link for direct contact, and there will be regular exchanges or visits by cabinet (内阁) and other officials on political and security (安全)issues. On nuclear cooperation, Mr Clinton promises the sale of nuclear technology to China for peaceful use, something not possible now with an American ban after the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown (严厉取缔). The two countries have agreed to strengthen military maritime safety (加强海军方面的安全合作). And Beijing and Washington are both working towards China's entry into the WTO, with China aiming to make substantial tariff reductions (大幅度降低关税). Taiwan is considered the most important issue, but there's little breakthrough (突破) here. The two sides agreed that there should be only one China, and that the Chinese should be allowed to resolve the problem by themselves. It's over the matter of human rights which the two countries have the most obvious differences.
The autumn air might have been chilly(寒冷的), but the welcoming ceremony for the Chinese President was anything but cold. Mr and Mrs Jiang Zemin were greeted by the American President and the First Lady. The two heads of state inspected the honour guard and national anthems were played with the twenty-one gun salute as the background. With a chime swinging leisurely only a few steps away, President Bill Clinton spoke of a better future, "Let us strengthen the bonds between us, let us pursue common causes, let us address our differences openly and with respect, let us build a better world for our children." And Mr Jiang gave a similarly optimistic reply, partly in English, "Let us, the Chinese and the Americans, join hands, and together with people around the world, work hard to bring about the new century of peace, stability and the prosperity."
60.What style is this short passage?
A. TV news broadcasting.
B. A document (文件) on state affairs.
C. A summary of Bill Clinton's speech at the welcoming ceremony for the Chinese President.
D. A newspaper report.
61."The autumn air might have been chilly, but the welcoming ceremony for the Chinese President
was anything but cold." What does the sentence mean to the reader or the listener?
A. Even though the weather was cold, all the people at the welcoming ceremony still felt fairly warm.
B. Both the autumn air and the welcoming ceremony were not a bit warm.
C. People thought it really interesting to hold the warm ceremony in the chilly autumn air.
D. People at the ceremony talked about anything but the cold weather.
62.After the meeting of the two presidents, we can hope that .
A. the two countries will together devote themselves to the study of nuclear weapons
B. Taiwan will soon come back to the embrace of its motherland
C. China will adopt the same system as that of the USA
D. the two presidents will call on each other regularly, which will make the two sides understand
each other better
63.What President Bill Clinton spoke of at the ceremony shows that .
A. he hopes for a better future for the two sides with better understanding
B. he sincerely hopes that the children in the two countries will grow well and healthily
C. he hopes that all the world will understand why the two countries have joined together
D. he thinks that only by addressing their differences openly and with respect can they build a
better world for the children

Four months ago Mrs B ordered a rug from a store, which promised to deliver it in about two weeks. Three weeks passed, but the rug did not arrive. When Mrs B telephoned the store to talk about it, she was told that the rug had been lost and that the store would send her another one.
Weeks later, when Mrs B telephoned again, the store told her that the second rug had been delivered and left on her front porch (门廊). She didn't believe the story, as she had been at home as usual, and her doorbell was in good working order. However, the store promised her that a third rug would be delivered within a week. It wasn't. What could she do? How could she get action?
Mrs B did what many other Americans have done - with excellent results. She wrote a letter to the news- paper in her town, explaining the problem. A few days later her letter appeared in the newspaper and this sentence was printed below it:
"The store found a way to safely deliver your rug immediately after hearing from us."
In this age of machines, it is often hard to get action from businesses that have made mistakes. An individual (个别的) person can complain, but his complaints may accomplish nothing. Luckily, newspapers now employ people to help with such problems, and the results are published in a special section of the paper.
Mrs B's letter appeared in a column called Mr FIX - IT. During the same week the following letter from Mrs J was printed in the ACTION LINE column of another newspaper.
"Many weeks ago I bought some living room furniture from the House and Garden Shop in Parkkersvile. They have set three delivery dates, and each time I had to stay home from work and wait for the truck, which never came. I have called the store at least fifteen times, and each time they said they would look for the furniture. This has been going on for two months. I guess they are still looking."
The ACTION LINE writer's reply was printed below Mrs J's letter:
"They found it. Action Line made one telephone call to the president of the company, who told us. 'the customer will get satisfaction. ' The furniture was found, and it arrived at your home yesterday."
64.It seemed that the purpose of Action Line in a newspaper was to .
A. employ people and publish their letters of complaints
B. help consumers correcting wrongs and getting problems solved
C. find what was lost by the business and delivered them to the consumers
D. make telephone calls to the consumers and business which had made mistakes
65.How long was it after Mrs B called the store again that she wrote to the local newspaper?
A. About a week. B. Three weeks. C. Two weeks. D. Four months.
66.The passage points out that in the machine age people's complaints usually .
A. bring about mistakes B. cause more serious trouble C. prove useless D. prove effective
67.The passage implies that .
A. there are too many mistakes in businesses to be corrected nowadays
B. customers can find what they have lost through the help of newspapers
C. newspapers will be the only means that can help people solve problems of all kinds
D. the influence (影响) of newspapers can sometimes solve problems when individual efforts have failed

The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted (抵制) in the market places despite their product's obvious advantages. Furthermore, the advertising expenditure (费用) for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers' (消费者) seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producers doubt that there might be deeper reasons, however. This was confirmed (证实,确信) by one of motivation research's classic studies, one often cited (引用) in the trade. Mason Haire of the University of California constructed two shopping lists that were identical except for one item. There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots, bread, baking powder, canned peaches, and potatoes, with the brands or amounts specified. The seventh item, in fifth place on both lists, read "lib. Maxwell House coffee" on one list and "Nescafe instant coffee" on the other. One list was given to each one in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in another group of the same size. The women were asked to study their lists and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman (personality and character) who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list was lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was a poor planner. Eight women felt that the instant-coffee user was probably not a good wife! No one in the other group drew such a conclusion about the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee.
68.The result of the investigation showed that .
A. women who used regular coffee were good planners
B. most of the women investigated were good at reasons
C. many women believed that wives who used instant coffee were lazy
D. housewives who used instant coffee were lazy
69.In the study, the women were supposed to give the opinions about .
A. which was better, instant coffee or regular coffee
B. women's attitude towards shopping
C. the necessity of making such a shopping list
D. the personality of a woman who would prepare such a list
70.Judging by the result of the study many women were not interested in instant coffee because .
A. they didn't trust advertisements
B. instant coffee was not suited to their taste
C. they wanted to show that they were intelligent
D. they had a sense of shame about using instant coffee
71.The word "instant" probably has the meaning of .
A. which can be made up slowly for use B. which can be made up quickly for use
C. expensive D. cheap

Here are four pieces of news from China Daily:
SHANGHAI--The Huachen Group, which has put 83 million yuan in the development of the ecommerce market since its official registration late last year, recently held a meeting in Shanghai to show the use of its newly opened tourism business payment network. The network aims to serve tourists from all over the world, but especially from Europe and the United State where credit cards are popularly used. After opening the www. chinaeeent. com website, netizens can get information about hotels and tourism services on tourism page. Hotels and services can be reserved and payments made through credit cards. The network opened in February in Beijing.
SYDNEY-The Sydney Olympic flame will travel underwater on Australia's Great Barrier Reef during the torch relay (火炬接力) following a successful test.
Scuba diver Wendy Craig, a marine biologist, will carry the torch on a three-to-four-minute underwater journey at Agincourt Reef on June 27, creating Olympic history, organizers said yesterday.
Burning at 2,000 degrees, the torch is expected to remain alight (点燃的) three metres under-water because of a special kind of technology which creates a "fierce flame" too powerful to be drowned out by water. Charles Tegner, managing director of torch creator, said the flame would burn like a flare from oxygen- producing chemicals.
BEIJING-The election of a new leader in Taiwan can not change the fact that Taiwan is a part of Chinese territory. "Taiwan Independence" in whatever form will never be allowed, according to a statesman of China's central government.
"We should listen to what the new leader in Taiwan says and watch what he does. We will observe where he will lead cross-Straits relations. We are willing to exchange views on cross-Straits relations and peaceful re- unification with all parties, organizations and personages in Taiwan who favor (赞同) the one China principle.'' says the statesman, which was released (发布) by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee.
HAIKOU-Customs officers in Haikou, capital of South China's Hainan Province, recently stopped a boat loaded with 781 eases of foreign-brand cigarettes being smuggled (走私) into China. The cigarettes are estimated to be worth more than 1.8 million yuan, said a customs officer, they discovered the smuggling boat as they were going around the northern sea area of Yangpu Port.
The smuggled cigarettes cases, packed into two containers, were disguised to avoid (回避) being examined. The boat was registered (登记) in the coastal city of Xiamen in East China's Fujian Province. All eight suspects (疑犯) aboard the boat were kept by the police in Haikou.
72.Why does the network aim to serve tourists especially from Europe and the USA?
A. Because they are from developed countries.
B. Because the payments of hotels and services should be made through credit cards.
C. Because people in these countries travel much more than other countries.
D. Because they have more computers than others.
73.Which of the following statements is Not true according to the second piece of news?
A. The whole torch relay will be held three metres underwater.
B. The underwater journey of the torch will play an important part in Olympic history.
C. A test has been made before this activity.
D. Some chemicals will help the flame burn by the producing oxygen.
74.Which is the best title for the third piece of news?
A. Ready to Fight. B. No Good End. C. Wait and See. D. Peace Comes First.
75.Which of the following best explains the underlined word "disguised" in the last piece of news?
A. Made different from normal. B. Designed for a good purpose.
C. Hidden. D. Pretended.

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。
A
The Happiness
The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免) brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self- improvement.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be more and more satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three- day vacation. I don' t know any parent who would choose the word "fun" to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the liberating realizations. It liberates time--now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely (真正的) increase our happiness. And it liberates us from envy--we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
56.According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because .
A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun, adventure and excitement
57.Raising children, in the author's opinion, is
A. a moral duty B. a thankless job
C. a rewarding task D. a source of inevitable pain
58.From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems (源于) from
A. hatred B. misunderstanding
C. prejudice D. ignorance
59.To understand what true happiness is, one must _______
A. have as much fun as possible during one's life time
B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
C. put up with pain under all circumstances
D. be able to distinguish happiness from fun
B
Let us begin by saying what does not cause our dreams. Our dreams do not come from 'another world'. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either.
All our dreams have something to do with our emotions, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the ' outside' may affect what we dream. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping or resting on the ice and snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experiences you have today.
So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. This is why very young children are likely to dream of fairies (仙女), older children of school exams, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families, and prisoners of freedom.
To show you how that is happening while you are asleep and how your wishes or needs can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of an experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbent cotton. He would dream that he was in a hospital and his charming girl friend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hand!
There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone, but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words, a dream is a way of having your wishes carried out.
60.From the passage we know our dreams .
A. have nothing to do with our daily life
B. are simply messages from another world
C. are to some degree caused by some of our feelings
D. are our imagination of our future life
61.Some scientists' explanation of dreams .
A. is widely accepted by the majority
B. give us an exact answer to the problem
C. offers a meaningful approach to the problem
D. has proved meaningless
62.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Our wishes and needs can never be dreamed by us.
B. Dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that will come true.
C. Some dreams are connected with our past experiences.
D. Scientists of great achievements can dream what they hope to invent.
63.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Causes of our Dreams
B. Feelings and Dreams
C. Scientists and Dreams
D. Scientific Research on Dreams

Dear Doctor,
My husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.
My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.
After several weeks of job-hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relation's firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, "My clever little wife can run that company she's working for."
But as his joking remark was close to reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don' t do these things because he is very unhappy.
We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.
I love my husband very much, and I do not want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don't know how. Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?
Please help.
"DISTRESSED"
64.What do you think shows her husband was supportive?
A. He took up all the work she used to do.
B. He made all the decisions for her.
C. He gave her encouragement.
D. All of the above.
65.Her husband when she first found her present job.
A. was very critical of her B. felt disappointed
C. was proud of her D. was happy but critical
66.Her husband stopped talking to her about her job when .
A. she received promotions B. She earned more money
C. her husband was unhappy D. both A and B
67.The woman has a hard choice between .
A. husband and children B. children and work
C. career and money D. job and marriage

Have you ever stopped in front of the mirror to make funny faces? Guess who else does that too? Dolphins! ! ! Yup, not only do those big beautiful mammals (哺乳动物) seem to recognize themselves in mirrors, but they like to play in front of them too!
Scientists always knew that Bottlenose Dolphins were highly intelligent (clever) creatures. However, the idea that animals have the ability to recognize themselves in front of mirrors has always been a question.
Psychologist Gordon Gallup Jr. was the first doctor to do this type of research on animals. In the1970' s, Dr. Gallup, tested chimpanzees (黑猩猩). During the tests, the chimps appeared to be checking themselves out in front of the mirrors. Since then the experiment has been done on great apes (类人猿), monkeys, Asian elephants and African gray parrots. They all used file mirrors as tools to guide them to hidden foods or objects, but they all failed to recognize themselves in the mirrors. Dr. Diana Reiss, a dolphin scientist for the past 20 years has created a marine ( 海生的) mammal research program at New York Aquarium. Reiss and her colleagues organized experiments to test whether dolphins can recognize their own reflections in a mirror. A preliminary test was done in 1990 on bottlenose dolphins. The results from the test strongly suggested that self- recognition by the dolphins took place. Gallup, Reiss and a graduate student said the dolphins did a variety of repetitive head movements and self-oriented behaviors in front of a mirror.
It is not a proven fact that dolphins recognize themselves in mirrors. Nevertheless, because of the different way that they behave in front of mirrors, it is a strong indication that they do.
68.According to the passage, we can get to know that .
A. almost all animals can check themselves out in front of a mirror
B. scientist have found more and more evidences that marine mammals are so intelligent as to
recognize themselves in a mirror
C. nobody doubts that dolphins can recognize themselves in a mirror
D. it is still a question whether animals are able to see their reflections in front of mirrors
69.During the tests, the chimps appeared to be checking themselves out in front of the mirrors. The
underlined part in the sentence can be substituted by .
A. examining themselves B. appreciating themselves
C. looking for themselves D. behaving themselves
70. A preliminary test was done in 1990 on bottlenose dolphins. The underlined part means .
A. a test was done at the very beginning for a project
B. a test serving as a trial for a real test later
C. a test which was proved to succeed later
D. a test which could possibly fail for the first time
71.Which of the following animals was Not experimented in the research conducted by Dr. Gallup?
A. Chimpanzee B. Monkey C. Elephant D. woodpecker

K. Smith says: "Apart from classroom lecture and textbooks, I read The World of English on my own and am glad to say that I am getting more help from the magazine than from the teacher, who tries to explain Chinese lessons partly in English and partly in offhand (即席的) Chinese. When I get the World of English to teach me Chinese, I find the learning easier with Chinese texts paralleled (对照的), word for word, phrase for phrase, sentence for sentence, with the English original (原文) . The Chinese translation is of course intended to help Chinese learners of English. But I turn it around using the English original as a means to reach my own goal of studying the Chinese language well. I am pleased with my experience and introduce this method of studying Chinese to other foreign students at other Chinese universities in Beijing, especially the Beijing Languages Institute where foreign students of the Chinese language are massed. I think they should use The World of English as their textbook for the study of Chinese, if they haven' t already done so".
72.K. Smith is, probably, .
A. a Frenchman who studies Chinese in China
B. An Egyptian studying the Chinese language
C. an American who knows Chinese
D. a foreign student who knows English studies Chinese

A. only for pleasure
B. only finding something strange
C. mainly to go over his Chinese
D. by regarding it as necessary to his study of Chinese
74. K. Smith finds The World of English .
A. easier for the Chinese and foreign students to read
B. a good and fit book for all kinds of students
C. a great help to foreign students learning Chinese
D. a good help to many Chinese students
75. K. Smith .
A. suggests all his schoolmates should follow him
B. suggests that foreign students studying Chinese follow him and is sure of this

A
Life for Cathy Hanger and her three children is set to permanent(持久的) forward.
Their full school day and her job as a lawyer's assistant are busy enough. But Hanger also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her daughter at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.
Often, the exhausted family doesn't get home until 7 p. m. There is just time for a quick supper before homework
In today's world, middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing some finishing line.
Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius (天才) has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.
"Doctors across the country are reporting a growing number of children suffering from stomachaches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress. "says child expert William Doherty of the University of Minnesota.
Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It's a very serious problem.
Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports, language, music and math classes for children as young as four.
"There is a new parenting trend(趋势) under way which says that you have to tap all your child's potential(潜能) at a young age. Otherwise you will let him down," says Terry Apter, a Cambridge-based child and adolescent psychiatrist(青少年精神病专家).
I t isn't entirely new. There have always been pushy parents. But what was previously(以前) seen as strange behavior is now well accepted.
56.From the second paragraph of this passage we can find that .
A. Hanger wastes much time helping her children with their lessons
B. Hanger devotes all her time to her full time job
C. Hanger is interested in sports and music
D. Hanger busies herself by following a trend
57.British parents, as the writer described in this passage, .
A. treat their children as sports players B. pay no attention to their children's lessons
C. bring up their children in a simple way D. give their children little time to develop naturally
58.The writer's opinion of after-school clubs is that .
A. activities in the country are too competitive B. children should attend four clubs at a time
C. some clubs lead to competitive pressures D. clubs should have more subjects for school children
B
When prices are low, people will buy more, and when prices are high, they will buy less. Every shopper knows this. But at the same time, producers want higher prices for their goods when they make more goods. According to the economic (经济) point of view,changes in the prices of goods cause changes in supply and demand. As is shown in the graph (图表) ,people buy fewer shoes as the price of shoes goes up. On the contrary, a decrease in the price causes an increase in demand.
Business firms look for the perfect price at which the largest profits(利润) can be made. If the price of the shoes goes up to $ 50,the consumers(消费者) will not buy all of 3 000 shoes~ The producers will have a surplus (剩余) of 2 000 shoes and they can only get $ 50 000. If the price of the shoes is lowered to $10,as many as 5 000 shoes can be sold. Still, only $ 50 000 is made.
59.According to this article, the main idea of the first paragraph is that .
A. the lower the price is, the less people will buy
B. producers want to make more money by making fewer goods
C. every shopkeeper knows the price for goods
D. how changes in prices of shoes affect the number of shoes sold
60.From the passage, we can conclude that is the best price for the consumers to buy all of
the shoes which are worth the highest price.
A. $50 B. $10 C. $30 D. $20
61.If the price of the shoes is lowered to $ 20, as many as shoes can be sold. Only is made.
A. 4 000;80 000 B. 2 000;20 000 C. 9 000; 90 000 D. 3 000; 30 000

Getting a new PC is one thing. Keeping it running smoothly is quite another. While a personal computer should continue to perform well for years, users know that system unsteadiness does exist. Yet you can reduce it to the smallest amount by following the tips below.
First, put in as little software as possible. You'll have fewer software-related problems and a system that is easier to manage.
Second, you should ensure that you have as much memory (RAM) in your PC as you need. If you run Windows 98, your computer should have at least 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or more. You can also get by with 128 MB of RAM if you use Windows NT or Windows 2000, but these operating systems will run much more smoothly if you have 256 MB of RAM or more.
Third, make sure you buy good hardware. No-name products may be cheaper and sometimes just as good as named-brand products, but named-brand products usually became well-known because of their steadiness. It's wise to buy products from famous companies because Windows will more often support the hardware that you buy. If you are starting out with computers, it's also a good idea to buy ready-made systems from major manufacturers. They are likely to have been tested thoroughly with your operating system, and you will generally experience fewer problems.
Fourth, do prepare for disaster. No matter how well your system runs when you get it, the day will come when it will need to be replaced. Hopefully, you will replace it because technology has become out-dated, but you may need to replace it also because the hard drive crashes or you begin experiencing problems that no one can figure out. That's why it's important to copy your important information regularly. Whether you use a tape backup device or a CD-RW drive, it's important to make a regular backup plan and stick to it.
62.If you want to use Windows 2000, but your computer only has 64 MB. What will you have to do?
A. Change its RAM for at least 256 MB.
B. Put in good software in your computer.
C. Enlarge its memory to at least 128 MB.
D. Buy another new computer to match it.
63.It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. your computer will save the important information when its hard drive crashes
B. your computer might lose all the information it stores when it crashes
C. you must not put in much software
D. you'd better use 128 MB of RAM if you run Windows NT
64.The best title of this passage would be .
A. The Tips You Must Follow B. How to Start Out with a Computer
C. How to Use Your PC Better D. How to Keep Your PC Steady
65.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. System unsteadiness. B. Personal computer. C. To perform well. D. Getting a new PC.
D
A man steps on what seems like solid ground but discovers with horror that the ground is giving way beneath his feet. The man struggles desperately, but he is trapped. He cannot escape. Slowly he sinks deeper and deeper until at last he is gone, buried in the treacherous earth. The solid ground was solid only in appearance. It was actually quicksand, which is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.
How is quicksand formed? Water pushes up from below the surface and is held by the sand. The grains of sand are forced apart by the water. They cannot hold any weight. The subsurface water may have come from a spring, a river or a stream. Sometimes pools of water near beaches become filled with sand. When the soil under these pools does not allow for good drainage(排水),the sand can become stretches of quick-sand.
Is it true that a man who steps into quicksand is doomed to(注定) die? No, for men have fought their way from quick-sand to firm land again. It is panic(恐慌) that creates the condition that can result in death, for the more a person struggles, the worse matters become. Quick movements will make the sand give way temporarily(临时地), but then it rushes and settles solidly around the body. A man trapped in quicksand should either lie back, or not move at all, except to stretch out his arms. When the weight of the sand his body has displaced equals his weight, he will stop sinking. With feet held still, and with slow movements of the arms, as in the backstroke in swimming men have managed to roll to safety and reach firm ground.
66.Which statement is Not True according to the passage?
A. It is hard to tell quicksand from solid ground.
B. Quicksand appears to be solid.
C. Quicksand is always far off beaches.
D. Quicksand is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.
67.The underlined part in the first paragraph might mean .
A. shaking and moving B. allowing others to be first
C. rising D. breaking or breaking into pieces
68.When you are trapped in quicksand, first of all you should .
A. cry for help
B. quickly begin to struggle hard to get out
C. try your best to push sand away
D. keep calm
69.A person stops sinking when the weight of his body is that of the sand his body has displaced.
A. greater than B. the same as C. near to D. close to
70.Men have managed to reach firm ground by .
A. holding feet still and moving arms slowly B. lying back calmly
C. keeping still and stretching out arms D. swimming quickly
E
It is said that mathematics is the base of all other sciences, and that arithmetic (算术), the science of numbers, is the base of mathematics. Numbers are formed by the digits 0,1,2.3,4,5,6,7,8,and 9 and by combinations of them. For example, 247 , two hundred and forty seven, is a number formed by three digits. Parts of numbers smaller than 1 are sometimes expressed in terms of fractions(分数), but in scientific usage they are given as decimals(小数). This is because it is easier to perform the various mathematical operations if decimals are used instead of fractions.
The decimal, or ten-scale system, is used for scientific purposes throughout the world. It is even accepted in countries whose national systems of weights and measurements are based upon other scales. The other scale in general use nowadays is the binary, or two-scale. In such a scale, numbers are expressed by combinations of only two digits,0 and 1. Thus,2 is expressed as 010,3 is given as 011,4 is represented as 100, etc. This scale is perfectly adapted to the "off-on" pulses of electricity, and so it is widely used in electronic computers. It is because of its simplicity that the scale is often called "the lazy schoolboy's dream"!
Other branches of mathematics such as algebra (代数)and geometry(几何) are also extensively used in many sciences and even in some areas of philosophy(哲学). More specialized extensions, such as probability theory and group theory, are now applied to an increasing number of activities, ranging from economics and the design of experiments to war and politics.
Finally, a knowledge of statistics(统计学) is required by every type of scientists for the analysis of data. Moreover, even an elementary knowledge of this branch of mathematics is sufficient(足够) to enable the journalist to avoid misleading his readers. It is also useful in helping the ordinary citizen find the attempts which are constantly made to detective him.
71.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of statistics.
B. The branches of mathematics and their applications (Gm).
C. The new development of arithmetic.
D. The relation of mathematics.
72.The word "this" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to .
A. using fractions in scientific fields
B. performing the mathematical operations
C. forming a number by the digits
D. expressing fractions as decimals
73.Which of the following descriptions best applies to the decimal system?
A. The base of all national systems of weights and measurements.
B. The number system based on whole numbers and fractions.
C. The widely adopted number system in science today.
D. The basic number system for computer work.
74.According to the passage, why is the binary system often called "the lazy schoolboy's dream"?
A. Arithmetic operations in this system are relatively easy.
B. The schoolboy likes the digital computers.
C. This system is not required to be learned in school.
D. The two-scale mathematical operations are interesting.
75.According to the passage, which of the following statements about philosophy is true?
A. Mathematics in the modern world is advancing faster than philosophy.
B. In natural sciences more areas of philosophy are being used than ever before.
C. Philosophy had made great contributions to the progress of algebra and geometry.
D. Mathematical knowledge plays an important role in some fields of philosophy.

The death of bats seriously affects everything that lives in 41 natural surroundings.
Bats are one of the most effective 42 on insect populations. For example, a 43 little brown bat can catch 600 insects in an hour. Twenty-five million bats 44 lived in a cave in the southwestern state of Arizona.

Clinton to host talk show
Former US President Bill Clinton has met with NBC (全国广播公司) officials to discuss hosting(主持)his own talk show (脱口秀,谈话节目), according to several television sources.
One source says Clinton's interest in the talk show is serious and he asks for a fee of $50 million a year. Clinton hopes that he could become the next Oprah Winfrey , one of the most successful talk show hosts, a newspaper reports.
NBC officials didn't comment on the news. Another source say's Clinton is not likely to take the job once he understands the demands of the job, the newspaper says.
There' s no precedent(先例) for such a TV deal with a former US president, although President Nixon appeared on TV in 1975 when talk show host David Frost paid him $600,000 for a series of interviews.
90-year-old woman finishes marathon
A 90-year-oid Scottish woman has finished the 22nd London Marathon, one of the oldest people to complete the 26.2-mile race.
Jenny Wood Allen finished in 11 hours and 34 minutes. She took up long-distance running at the age of 71 and has taken part in 16 London Marathons so far.
Allen, the great grandmother, was accompanied(陪伴) on the route by two friends who kindly finished behind her so she would not come in last.
She said this would be her last marathon, but not her last race. "I will concentrate on(集中) shorter distances," she said.
Seat Belts for Pets
People must wear seat belts while in a moving vehicle. So why shouldn't pets, too? Car maker General Motors (美国通用汽车公司) will introduce a pet seat belt in all of their vehicles in the USA.

B. It' s agreed that Bill Clinton will soon take up his new job.
C. Pet seat belts are designed for the sake of comfort, safety, and ease.

According to a recent survey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979. They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979 took. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For these days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday --the banker worked 80. hours a week. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker' s activities with him. He discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing busy work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made repeated telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.
Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more she or he accomplishes. However, the connection between time and productivity is not always positive. In fact, many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Furthermore, it is not always easy for individuals to realize that their performance is falling off.
Part of the problem is understandable. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Consequently, they work longer hours and take less vacation time than they did nine years ago. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.
A group of headhunters (people who search out executive personnel for companies) were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had comparable qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an 80-hour-week just as well. According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-week candidate would get the job. The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.
64.The record of the banker' s activities implies that .
A. he worked efficiently
B. he did a lot of unnecessary work
C. his work was well-ordered
D. he was tired of his routine work
65.According to the author, spending more time in office .
A. means doing more work
B. does not necessarily mean doing more work
C. helps people to earn more money
D. leads to greater creativity
66.The reason why employees work longer is that .
A. they want to earn more money
B. they want to save time for holiday
C. they want to please their bosses
D. they want to make more contributions
67.The 80-hour candidate would be chosen because .
A. his work was better than the other's
B. he was more reliable
C. he might set a good example for other employees
D. he had better qualifications

SAN DIEGO COUNTY District Attorney Paul Pfingst said the body discovered is that of a 3 to 4-foot young girl with fair hair.
The child was wearing a necklace, similar to the one Danielle is seen wearing in thousands of "missing girl" flyers(传单) posted since her disappearance more than three weeks ago.
She was also wearing an earring that matched one of those searchers believe Danielle was wearing when she was last seen at her family's Sabre Springs' home. Searchers said the body was not clothed in the light-blue pajamas Danielle was wearing when she was last seen.
"We don't have any other young children missing in the county that have been reported," Lt. Jim Collins said, "It's a high probability that it is her."
Pfingst said, however, it could take several days to positively identify the body using DNA evidence. He said that the body does not appear to have been burned, despite earlier reports.
The searchers found the corpse 25 miles east of downtown San Diego, in a desert section of San Diego County near the city of El Cajon, the county Sheriff's Department said. The body was found behind a group of oak trees at about 2:15 pm along a mad neat the Sycuan Indian Reservation.
The place is in the general area where suspect(疑犯) David Westerfield was believed to have traveled and the girl disappeared.
National Broadcasting Company's San Diego affiliate, KNSD, reported that police had circled a 100-square-yard area around where the remains were found, as well as a dirt road leading up to the area.
Thousands of volunteers have been helping in the search for Danielle' s body, from Mexico to the desert east of San Diego.
68.It seemed to Lt. Jim Collins that .
A. the young girl had nothing on when she was found
B. the body of the missing girl was seen at Sabre Springs
C. the searchers had found the body of Danielle
D. David Westerfield was considered to have killed thousands of girls
69.The body was thought to be Danielle through the fact that no other young children missing in
the county that had been reported and her .
A. jewellery B. DNA C. appearance D. clothing
70.Which of the following shows the correct relationship between San Diego, the desert section
and the Sycuan Indian Reservation?
S = San Diego D = desert section R = Sycuan Indian Reservation
71.From the passage, we can infer that Danielle .
A. might have been burned by David Westerfield in the desert section
B. might have disappeared at a certain weekend three weeks ago
C. might have been taken away from Sabre Springs and killed
D. might have been killed by David Westerfield with a gun

Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on. For most of the time this "conversation" goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.
Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.
There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a "process" conversation as opposed to a "content" conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies(策略) we employ in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a content conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.
72.Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only
when. .
A. the reader's expectations agree with what is said in the text
B. the reader has trouble understanding what the author says
C. the reader asks questions and gets answers
D. the reader understands a text very well
73.At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to .
A. read a text slowly
B. read without thinking hard
C. interpret a text in their own way
D. concentrate on the meaning of words only
74.According to the passage, it is .of great importance for readers at a higher level to maintain a
balance between .
A. conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension
B. the reader's expectations and the meaning of a text
C. lower and higher levels of comprehension
D. interpreting and criticizing a text
75.If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should .
A. learn to use different approaches in reading different texts
B. make our reading process more conscious
C. pay more attention to the content of a text
D. take a critical attitude towards the author's ideas

Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his vast fortune, largely to the cause of global health, during the course of his lifetime. With an estimated(估计)worth of more than $ 40 billion , according to Forbes , the project will be no small feat (功绩)for Gates . Having already provided the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $ 24 billion to address global health issues, Gates said that eventually his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except "a few percent left for the kids."
So what has made the richest man in the world to channel his resources so heavily into one interest? Gates believes that "the equality of opportunity" in which Americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world. Improving the health of the populations, he says, has proved to be an essential method in helping poor cou ntries to be financially successful.
"National borders allow inequalities," said Gates: "We all need to take a more global view, rather than just saying my country is doing well. We have to step up these health issues, knowing how few resources are going into them."
Gates said that both his parents set an example for him as a child. His father, William H. Gates, was the head of the local Planned Parenthood, and his mother, Mary, volunteered for the United Way. As he gathered his fortune, Gates knew he would eventually want to give back as well, but he didn't expect to devote himself whole-heartedly to one project until he was about 60.
However, Gates, 47, began to question his ability to wait that long. "It seemed there was a real time urgency," Gates said. "I started to think, how many lives could I save before then?"
56.Bill Gates will give away his vast fortune to .
A.improve the health of population in America alone
B.improve the health of population all over the world
C.avoid leaving his children too much money
D.spare the American government the burden of health care
57.Bill Gates believes that one important way of developing poor countries is .
A.to set up more foundations for them
B.to aid them with natural resources
C.to put more effort into the health issues in them
D.to help them take a more global view
58.It can be learned from the text that Bill Gates thinks .
A.Americans should care about people in other countries
B.Americans should treat fellow citizens well
C.Americans should devote themselves to certain projects
D.Americans can be world-famous by giving away vast fortune
59.Bill Gates gave away his vast fortune earlier than he had expected because of .
A.his weakening health condition
B.his parents' suggestions

Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only 18 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp., a large software company with several offices across the United States.
"After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy," recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. "We couldn't even send e-mail to each other." In three weeks Mr. Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. "None of the company's 350 other employees could have done the job in three months," says Mr. Braun. "Suleyman can 'see' into the heart of the computer."
Mr. Gokyigit's gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. "The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do," says Mr. Gokyigit.
The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. "Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight," he says.
Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer (合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. "Nothing seems to shake his attention," says Mrs. Nowakowski, his boss.
Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available (可找到的) 24 hours a day. "We consider him our top problem solver," says Mr. Braun.
64.According to Mr. Braun, Suleyman_______
A. can work wonders on computer
B. is the best technician in the world

65.The underlined part "is at home with hardware" ( paragraph 4 ) means_______
A. is good at dealing with computer hardware
B. is fond of computer hardware
C. works with computer hardware at home
D. feels comfortable when working with computer hardware
66.Suleyman was quick while at the computer mostly because of_______
A. his blindness B. his attention on the synthesizer
C. his long, thin fingers D. his ability not to be interrupted
67.What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Computer technicians are more likely to be gifted.
B. One's disadvantages may prove to be advantages.
C. The disabled can also play an important role in society.
D. Top computer scientists have unusual abilities to form ideas of computers.

If the TSA screener was unable to open your bag for inspection because it was locked, the screener may have been forced to break the locks on your bag. TSA sincerely regrets having to do this, and has taken care to reseal your bag upon completion of inspection. However , TSA is not liable for damage to your locks resulting from this necessary security precaution(预防措施).

All plant cells are capable of taking up water. Even dead ones do to a certain degree. Absorption of water by dead cell walls makes wood become larger. In common land plants, the living cells of roots take up most of the water. Land plants without roots do exist, however. Those greenish-yellow lichens(苔藓)you see on rocks in the high mountains have no roots . Half a billion years ago, when water plants started to enter the land, the first land plants did not have roots.
Even among the flowering plants, one finds rootless forms. These flowering plants are "the higher plants" because they evolved(进化) recently and are thus considered higher on the evolutionary scale(进化树). In the Peruvian desert, there grows one of these rootless higher plants, a bromeliad. It is a relative of the pineapple. Even if this plant had roots, they would be of no use, because where the plant grows, it never rains. The plant gets its water only from the dew(露水)it collects at night , when its leaves cool off . Such rootless plants, of course, can be moved with ease, but they will only grow when they are placed out in the open. If they are placed too near a house, the radiation from the heat of the house prevents the leaves from cooling and so prevents dew from forming,and the plant dies.In the southern United States and in Puerto Rico,one sees bromeliadsgrowing high above the streets on the insulation(绝缘物)of electric wires . These plants get their water from rain, and the only soil they ever come in contact with is the dust that may blow on their leaves.
72.Wood becomes larger because of .
A.dead cell walls B.water entering dead cells
C.the growth of cells D.the death of cells
73.From the passage we know that the evolutionary scale is graded according to .
A.evolutionary cycles B.heights and depths
C.time D.kinds
74.The "bromeliad" is a plant that .
A.has useless roots B.is a pineapple
C.can grow anywhere D.takes up water through its leaves
75.The most suitable title for this passage is " ".
A.Absorption of water by plants B.Rootless plants
C.Plants in the desert D.Higher plants

The ship first appeared as a small point on the horizon (地平线).We had grown 36 at the delay and cheered when we saw it .

One of Britain's bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to £30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
She said: "I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there."
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: "He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact (接触)." Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
"It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said 'Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?'. My heart missed a beat."
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor
room and handed over the key.
"I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man's room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (戴上手铐)."
56.The underlined phrase "be in line for" ( paragraph 1 ) means____
A. get B. be paid C. ask for D. own
57.Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because_____
A. the police called her
B. he looked very strange
C. he came to the hotel with little luggage
D. he came to the hotel the day before New Year's Eve
58.Vicki's heart missed a beat because______.
A. the phone went again B. she would be famous
C. the policemen had already arrived D. she saw 20 policemen in the car park
59.David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in_______.
A. the passage B. the man's room
C. Vicki's bedroom D. the top floor room
60.The whole event probably lasted about hours from the moment Bieber came to the
hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.
A. 6 B. 8 C. 11 D. 14

In the world today , there are millions of surveillance cameras , or "spy cams", watching and monitoring our daily activities . There are some benefits of course , as people who are breaking laws can be watched and caught using cameras and this helps keep out society and public places safe .
These cameras are everywhere and most are openly visible on roads , in airports , businesses , shopping centers and government buildings and even in lifts . Even schools have started using spy cams to watch student activity and behaviour .
The cameras are so common now that we hardly ever even notice them . But the problem lies with the ones that are hidden away from our eyes and are unseen . Technology has helped develop tiny cameras that can be very well hidden and they can spy on shoppers , workers , babysitters and people in hotels and clubs without the people even knowing .
It is these spy cams that people feel are an invasion of privacy . Recently , in the U.S ., there have been a number of court cases against babysitters whose actions have been recorded by their employers on hidden cameras .
The number of cameras in public and private areas is on the increase and with rising crime rates and the recent terrorist attacks , more and more surveillance cameras are being used to watch us . This means that we all have to be aware that our employers , department stores , police and even some of our friends could be spying on us at any time !
61.In the writer's opinion , surveillance cameras .
A.do more good than wrong B.are overused
C.should be very popular D.ought to be more widely used
62.In what way can the surveillance camera benefit the public ?
A.By helping keep social safety . B.By monitoring the employees .
C.By watching the students in class . D.By spying on customers .
63.According to paragraphs 3 and 4 , people the use of hidden cameras .
A.object to B.agree to C.feel happy about D.are fearful of
64.Spy cams will be more widely used in the future because .
A.all people want to spy B.of the invasion of privacy
C.people enjoy being watched D.of terrorist attacks

OVER 22 million dead animals that have never been seen by the public before were on display last week in London , Britain . The selection is one of the biggest and the best in the world and the Natural History Museum hopes that it will help people understand nature better .
People were able to examine the animals , which range from tiny insects that lived millions of years ago to the bones of dinosaurs (恐龙)and butterflies (蝴蝶)in amazing detail .
The scientific specimens (标本)are all either stored in alcohol(酒精)or made in a fossil (化石)form and have been given to the new Darwin Centre by scientists and researchers over the last hundred years .
The center , named after the world famous scientist Charles Darwin , will be open free to the public . It is part of the much larger Natural History Museum , which attracts over 2 million visitors a year .
The new museum has actual specimens caught by Darwin , including a parrotfish and pipefish he caught while on his journey around the world . There are also lots of other specimens caught by famous explorers that lived over 150 years ago , which include a tusk (长牙)from an African elephant given by famous British scientist David Livingstone .
People can view specimens close up , watch videos of scientists at work , look at information on computers , and look up through the seven-storey storage hall to sense the huge scale of whats inside . They are also able to take guided tours and join live events with scientists .
Another section of the museum is being planned . When it opens in 2007 , there will be an extra 28 million insects on display and 6 million plants .
65.By visiting the museum , one can .
A.enrich his knowledge of the universe

During the last ten years , several important new technologies have affected advertising considerably . One was the penetration(渗透)of cable television and satellite receivers into a vast number of American homes . Many cable channels are devoted to single types of programming , such as straight news , home shopping , sports , or comedy . This has changed television from the most widespread of mass media to a somewhat more specialized medium . Now smaller companies and companies with products that interest a limited market can use television to reach audiences with particular interests .
Another change in the TV world has been the growing presence of videocassette recorders . For many customers , watching movies on video at home has replaced going to the movie theater . Advertisers have watched this trend with interest . Some videos now begin with an ad , shot in a suitable cinematic cycle , that sells a product valued by that particular movies audience .
Computer technology has had its own effect. Personal computers , modems , electronic mails , electronic bulletin boards , even fax machines give advertisers new media for reaching potential(潜在的)customers. But these choices are largely replacements for print media , and their advertising trends to be more information-oriented than image-oriented . The increased number of computer users has benefited advertisers in another way as well . Now even the smallest companies can maintain a database(数据库)for direct mail . This , too , is an excellent medium for reaching people with particular interests .
Today advertising is a powerful means that announces the availability (实用性)and location of products , expresses the quality and value of those products , and even fills brands with personality while at the same time defining the personality of the people who buy them . In turn , advertising itself is shaped by the technology used to convey its message to potential customers .
69. make it possible for small companies to send advertisements to audiences specially
interested in their products .
A.Single types of TV programming B.Mass media
C.Particular interests D.New technologies of TV sets
70.As more and more people have begun to use computers , advertisements can be directly sent to
particular costumers .
A.by electronic bulletin board B.by post
C.by e-mail D.by fax machines
71.The best title of this passage might be .
A.The Information Age of Advertising . B.Mass Media and Advertising
C.Technologies of Advertising D.Advertising and Customers

Science and technology have advanced at such a rate that cloning (克隆)has now become a reality . The possibility of cloning humans is a serious issue and raises ethical (伦理的)questions . In my opinion , cloning is useful for research into cures for disease .However ,I think that it needs to be approached with caution and carefully monitored by governments .
Research into cloning and stem cell(干细胞)production is primarily aimed at finding new treatments for currently incurable illnesses . While this would improve the quality of life for many ,not enough is understood about what effects cloning would have on the world in the future . This is primarily because we do not understand enough about the effects of cloning and both the physical and psychological effects that is likely to have on cloned humans and on the rest of the world . Furthermore , it is thought that a cloned human would be unlikely to survive birth and would suffer from complications resulting from malformed(畸形的)organs .
There are also quite serious ethical issues in danger . In essence , those who are against cloning would argue that scientists have no right to play God and to interfere with natural processes . Producing embryos (晶胚)for the purpose of harvesting stem cells for research presents important questions about the nature and status of the embryo being produced . It may also make us question whether throwing it away after use reduces the value we place on human life .
I conclusion I do not agree that research into cloning using human embryos should continue . This is not only because it may reduce the value we place on human life , but also because not enough is known about the effects . However , I do think that if there is a way to produce stem cells using cloning which does not put human life at risk , then governments should continue to support it .
72.What is the writer's general opinion on cloning ?
A.It is useful in every area of research
B.It needs to be carefully controlled by governments .
C.It is useful for research into cures for disease if it is controlled .
D.It is only useful for research into cures for disease .
73.The writer's main reason against cloning is that .
A.not enough is known about the effects of cloning
B.a cloned human would be likely to die of malformed organs
C.cloning has negative physical and psychological effects on clones
D.it would affect the quality of life for many
74.The main argument in Paragraph 3 is that .
A.scientists do not value human life
B.the process of cloning needs to be questioned
C.cloning devalues human life
D.scientists should not interfere with natural processes
75.In Paragraph 4 , the writer thinks governments should .
A.not put human life at risk
B.support all forms of research into stem cell production
C.not support any form of research into stem cell production
D.support research into stem cell production harmless to human life

Flooding first appeared at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People straggling higher ground were just in time to get away from the destroy of the flood. Most of the flood victims had to leave their possessions behind.
The flood victims are now housed in various make-shift relief centers in the nearby town of Tulang."Everything possible is being done to help the unfortunate people."A government spokesman said, "In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public-spirited organizations and generous persons."

Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
"I think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生)," said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate (保守的估计)."
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (拉米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years," he said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years."
However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. "It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?" said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. "At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all."
59.By saying "we are knocking at the door of immortality", Michael Zey means___
A. they believe that there is no limit of living
B. they are sure to find the truth about long living
C. they have got some ideas about living forever
D. they are able to make people live past the present life span
60.Donald Louria's attitude toward long living is that________
A. people can live from 120 to 180
B. it is still doubtful how long humans can live
C. the human body is designed to last past about 120 years
D. it is possible for humans to live longer in the future
61.The underlined "it" ( paragraph 4 ) refers to________
A.a great push B. the idea of living beyond the present life span
C. the idea of living from 200 to 300 years D. the conservative estimate
62.What would be the best title for this text?
A.Living Longer or Not B. Science, Technology and Long Living
C. No Limit for Human Life D. Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living

The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.
In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people--- just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a general truth both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence(疏忽).
Researchers have estimated (计算) that as many as 80 percent of all automobile(交通) accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort(歪曲) drivers reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise clear. The experts warn that it is necessary far every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one's emotions under control.
Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers, Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the mad.
Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been both at the point of manufacture and through periodic mad-worthiness inspection. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the mad.
66.What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?
A.To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention
B.To improve understanding between careless drivers and street walkers.
C.To discuss traffic problems and propose solutions.
D.To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving
67.According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because .
A.autos have become most destruction(毁灭) to mankind
B.people usually pay little attention to law and morality
C.civilization brings much harm to people
D.the lack of virtue(德行) is becoming more serious
68.Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph Three?
A.To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents
B.To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.
C.To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers.
D.To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving.
69.Who are not mentioned as being responsible of the road accidents?
A. Careless bicycle-riders.
B. Mindless people walking in the street.
C. Irresponsible drivers.
D. Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.
70.Which of the following best reflects the authors attitude toward a future without traffic accident
problem?
A. Doubtful yet still longing for
B. Happy and rather confident
C. Surprised and very pleased.
D. Disappointed and deeply worried
E
Over the past 10 years, technologies that have combined computers with telephone have developed. Technologies such as PC fax programs and LAN fax servers(局域网传真服务器) have been used to improve fax communications. The latest computer-based technologies are new mechanisms (机制) which use IP (Internet Protocol, 因特网协议) to send faxes, that is, IP fax..
Traditional fax has a fairly simple usage model. First , the user inserts a document into the fax machine, enters the destination fax number and presses the starts button on the machine. The sending machine dials the receiving fax machine. If it connects, the sending machine scans the documents and sends it over the public switched telephone network( PSTN,公共电话交换网) to the receiving machine. At the same time, the receiving machine receives the document and then prints it.
In IP fax system there are two basic transmission modes: store-and-forward mode and real-time mode. Store-and-forward mode has been widely used. In this mode, the entire document is sent to a network-based server that stores it and then sends it to the destination. Real-time IP faxing is similar to traditional fax. Real-time mode allows two fax machines to directly communicate through some standard.
IP fax enabled a fax document to be sent from one person to another. A fax machine or a computer can be used to send or receive the fax. IP fax also allows e-mail to be used to receive faxes. This would enable users to receive faxes anywhere, anything with an internet fax address.
71.The passage deals mainly with .
A. PC fax B.IP fax
C. information technology D. new machines
72.In traditional fax, can be used.
A. even computers B. LAN fax servers
C. e-mail D. only fax machines
73.IP fax can use all of the following to send and receive a fax except .
A. a fax machine B. a receiving machine
C. a computer D. e-mail
74.In real-time IP fax mode .
A. two fax machines communicate directly
B. a network-based server is used
B. users can receive faxes anywhere
D. the PSTN has to be used.
75.In paragraph 2, the word "inserts "can be replaced by .
A. prints B. presses C. puts D. uses

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; and when you start using them again, they will slowly become strong again. 36 knows this, and nobody would think of 37 the fact.
Yet there are many people who 38 to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that 39 has a good memory, he 40 means that he keeps his memory 41
practice by exercising it very 42 ,either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is 43 , he means that he does not give it enough 44 to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of 45 people, one of 46 exercises his arms and legs by playing balls, while the other 47 in a chair or a car all day. If a friend of yours says that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own 48 . But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, 49 of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just 50 , and few of us realize that it is just as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become very strong in body or very clever in mind, 51 all of us can improve our strength and our memory by the same means 52 .
Have you ever 53 that people who cannot read or write usually have 54 memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because they cannot write down something in a little notebook or something else. They have to remember names, places, songs and stories; so their memory is always being exercised.
In a word, if you want to have a good memory, 55 practise remembering.

A
As I jogged over the bridge and round the corner on my regular early morning run, he was standing opposite the jewelers looking extremely suspicious(可疑的 ). But the moment he saw me, instead of trying to avoid me, he came straight across the road as I drew level with the jeweler's. Halfway across he began addressing me: I thought you were going to....- but his voice trailed away as he received no reply and no sign of recognition from me. It was quite obvious that he had mistaken me for someone else. But he started up again as if nothing had happened. Good morning, he said. Nice to bump into someone so early. Someone to talk to. I've taken to talking to myself on this job.
I hate meeting people when I'm out early, and I was almost out of breath. I just paused in my stride, nodded in a friendly manner, and went on up the road. The stranger had spoken quietly, and quite slowly. And I had noticed that he was well dressed, too. But if he looked suspicious dressed like that at that time of the morning, what about me? I was in a track suit, with an old sweater round my shoulders and a cap on my head. As to his odd remark about talking to himself on the job, I hadn't paid any attention to it, although now it began to worry me. Was he perhaps a plain clothes policeman? At the time I somehow felt he was.
I had just turned the corner into the High Street when I heard the sound of breaking glass somewhere behind me, and I thought the sound came from the street I had just left. I stopped dead and almost without thinking looked back around the corner. The stranger was not there, but almost immediately an alarm bell in the jeweler's began ringing loudly.
I found out later that a burglar had broken into the jeweler's shop and stolen watches and rings worth about £5,000.The police are still looking into the matter, but I' m afraid to go and tell them what I know now because they might even suspect me of committing the crime, and it might be difficult for me to prove my innocence(无罪). After all, l haven't offered my assistance as a witness, and the only other person around that morning was the stranger who had spoken to me.
56.The writer .
A. always goes past the jeweler's B. goes jogging regularly
C. meets a few people every morning D. often sees a policeman in the High Street
57.Which of the following statements is true?
A. The stranger was waiting for someone. B. The stranger hated talking to people.
C. The stranger recognized the writer. D. The stranger had met the writer before.
58.Why did the stranger seem suspicious?
A. He was far too friendly. B. He was dressed too well for that time.
C. He was about to go into the jeweler' s. D. He talked to himself a lot.
59.If the writer had been on the spot, .
A. he might have been badly injured
B. the stranger wouldn't have broken the window
C. he wouldn't have heard the alarm bell
D. he would have seen what happened
60.The writer hasn't told the police what little he knows because .
A. he is afraid they might arrest him
B. he thinks the stranger is innocent
C. the stranger hasn't asked him to be a witness
D. the burglar didn't steal very much
B
Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"
This guy's a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!
He didn't say anything that was false, but he deliberately left out important information. That's called a half- truth. Half - truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, "During Governor Smith' s term, the state lost one million jobs! That's true. However an honest statement would have been, During Governor Smith's term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs."
Advertisers will sometimes use half- truths. It' s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast, "Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples." It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception happens too often. It' s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
61.Which statement is true according to the article?
A. Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.
B. You can't trust gamblers.
C. All governors help their states.
D. The truth can be used in dishonest ways.
62.The underlined word "deceive" means .
A. mistake B. ignore C. fool D. repair
63.The author clearly wants people to .
A. think carefully about what they read and hear
B. wear mismatched socks during political campaigns
C. never trust anyone
D. vote for female candidates
64.The best title for this passage would be .
A. Lies Are Lies B. Everyone Lies C. Lying with the Truth D. Nose Pimples

Whoever has made a voyage up the Hudson River must remember the Catskill Mountains. They are a branch of the great Appalachian family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering over the surrounding country, when the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and print their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers around the top of the mountains which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light up like a crown of glory (华丽的皇冠).
At the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village.
In that village, and in one of the houses (which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly time-worn and weather-beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of Rip Van Winkle.
Rip's great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. It could not be from lack of diligence (勤劳), for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without saying a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. He would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields to shoot a few birds or squirrels. He would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. The women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. In a word, Rip was ready to attend to everybody's business but his own.
If left to himself, he would have whistled ( 吹口哨) life away in perfect satisfaction; but his wife was always mad at him for his idleness 懒散). Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house -- the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband.
69.Which of the following best describes the Catskill Mountains?
A. They are on the west of the Hudson River.
B. They are very high and beautiful in this area.
C. They can be seen from the Appalachian family.
D. They gather beautiful clouds in blue and purple.
70.The hero of the story is probably______.
A. hard-working and likes all kinds of work B. idle and hates all kinds of jobs
C. simple, idle but very dutiful D. gentle, helpful but a little idle
71.The underlined words "henpecked husband" in the last paragraph probabl_y means a man who
A. likes hunting B. is afraid of hens C. loves his wife D. is afraid of his wife
72.What would be the best title for the text?
A. Catskill Mountains. B. A Mountain Village.
C. Rip Van Winkle. D. A Dutiful Husband.

Thomas Alva Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. About every two weeks he created something new.
Thomas A. Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11,1847, His family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self - educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.
When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train that ran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. Thomas was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.
Thomas then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock - ticker, for $ 40,000. A stock- ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on a tape. He was then able to build his first shop in Newark, New Jersey.
Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He called himself a "two-shift man" because he worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.
Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18,1931 ,at his estate in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world.
73.Thomas Edison did things in this order .
A. he became a telegraph operator, a newsboy, and then got his first patent
B. he became a newsboy, got his first patent, and then became a telegraph operator
C. he got a patent, became a telegraph operator, and then became a newsboy
D. he became a newsboy, a telegraph operator, and then got a patent
74.Of all the inventions, was probably the most important for civilization.
A. the vote recorder B. the stock ticker C. the light bulb D. the motion picture camera
75.The main idea of this passage is .
A. Edison was always interested in science and inventions, and he invented many important things
B. Thomas Edison could not keep a job
C. Thomas Edison worked day and night on his experiments
D. Deaf people make good inventors without the distraction of spoken conversation

An American group of hackers which calls itself Poizon Box had begun ruining Chinese websites after the April 1 spy plane incident, top Chinese portal sina. com. said.
The Chinese soon attacked back.
On April 29, Chinese hackers invaded two US Government websites over the weekend, forcing the Department of Labour and the Department of Health and Human Services to shut down their sites for a short time.

The page was titled "China hack!" and read, in English, "The whole country is sorry for losing the best son of China- Wang Wei forever, we will miss you until the end of the day."
On May 1 hackers exchanged their remarks in which the official White House website was defaced by a huge amount of e-mail garbage. On May 5, the White House website fell victim(受害者)to a denial of service attack that blocked access(通道)to the site for more than two hours.
The computer Network and Information Security Management office told web operators an average of 100 sites a day had seen "some more form of attack."

C
Tears are nature's way of making us feel more comfortable. When our eyes are made uncomfortable by some small pieces of pollution, or when we are cutting onions, or when we are exhausted and red eyes from over work and late hours, tears form in our eyes to clean and refresh them.
Tears are also a sign of strong emotion. We cry when we are sad and we cry when we are happy.
And tears seem to be uniquely(唯独)human. We know that animals also experience emotion--fear, pleasure, loneliness -- but they do not shed (流) tears. From this, we can conclude that tears are closely related to the emotional and biological make up of the human species.
Biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of saline fluid, which is a little bit salty, produced by a gland(腺)in the body. Because salt is an important component, tears may actually constitute the most conclusive evidence that the human animal is the end product of a long evolutionary process that began in the sea.
And it is clear that, in addition to(除了) the emotional benefits(好处), the shedding of tears has a specific biological function as well. Through tears, we can eliminate from our body certain chemicals which build up in response to stress and create a chemical imbalance in the body. Crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance and making us feel good again. And thus the emotional and the biological functions of tears merge(合并)into one and make us even more "human" than we would otherwise be.
62.According to the passage, human beings may have originated(起源于)in .
A. the sea B. the salt C. chemicals D. animals
63.Which of the following is NOT a function of tears?
A. Biological B. Emotional C. Political D. Chemical
64.According to the article, which of the following is unique to humans?

Most gift-giving shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things bought and the people who buy them..
EXPENSIVE GIFTS Naturally, some gifts will be more expensive than others. But some people give higher priced gifts than necessary for the situation. Someone who gives an expensive gift often feels that he should receive more praise than that if he had given a less expensive one. Therefore he is giving himself a gift, too: status(地位).
HOMEMADE GIFIS. Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries today. If you receive a home- made gift, you are lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love.
BOOKS. People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. A good way to know this is to find out whether or not the giver bought the book according to how large it is. If you receive a large heavy book, its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are. Anyhow, giving a BOOK book can be a way of sharing a feeling or a newly learned meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.
67.Which of the following best express the main idea of the passage?
A. Gift-giving may tell us the giver's personality in some way.
B. Most gift-giving shows the spirit of love and friendship.
C. Homemade gifts are more precious than expensive ones.
D. We should be careful in choosing and giving presents.
68.Expensive gifts may imply(暗示) .
A. deep love B. high respects
C. a sense of superiority D. generosity
69.According to the passage, homemade gifts .
A. are very special B. show deep love
C. should be well kept D. both A and B
70.A BOOK book means .
A. a good book about books
B. a large and heavy book
C. a rare and valuable book
D. a book that the giver wants you to read

Greenspace facilities(设施)are contributing to an important degree to the quality of the city environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self- proved statement than on the base of a closely reasoned scientific proof. Recognizing the importance of greenspaces in the city environment is a first step on the right way, this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which people are using these spaces. As to this subject I shall within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect(方面) only, namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities.
The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town and country planning, has in my opinion resulted in more attention for forms of recreation far from home, while there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighbourhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The city environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more, required activities can also have recreative aspect.
The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.
71.The importance of greenspaces in the city environment .
A. has been recognized
B. is paid little attention to
C. is accepted on the base of scientific proof
D. is still unknown
72.For many years town and country planning has .
A. brought living areas and places of entertainment close together
B. separated recreation facilities far from home
C. improved recreative possibilities in the neighbourhood
D. enabled people to reach the best standard of living
73.The word "recreation" in the passage probably means .
A. activities done for pleasure or enjoyment
B. doing something again in a creative way
C. doing something important after work
D. required activities done after work
74.According to the author, greenspaces should be designed .
A. to reduce the number of recreative activities
B. to attract more and more people
C. for people to use more conveniently
D. for people to do recreative activities at the street door of the house
75.The main idea of this passage is that .
A. attention must be paid to the improvement of recreation
B. greenspace facilities should be used better to improve the quality of life
C. the city enviroment is providing more recreative activities
D. we should try our best to raise our living standard

The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病)that flesh receives.
The most widespread fallacy (谬误) of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses (病毒)passing out from person to person. You catch a cold, and it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever, But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.
In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.
At the Common Cold Research Unit England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be dipped with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
In the cold we have nothing to do with catching colds. Why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains - taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片)such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms(症状).
59. The writer offered examples to support his argument.
A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 3
60. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?
A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.
B. Colds are not caused by cold.
C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.
61. Arctic explorers may catch colds when
A. they are working in the isolated arctic regions.
B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather.
C. they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions.
D. they are coming into touch again with the outside world.
62. Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit .
A. suffered a lot B. never caught colds C. often caught colds D. became very strong
C
Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends? Because they destroy so many insects, and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour(吞食、毁灭)all our crops and kill our cattle, if it were not for the protection we get from insect - eating animals. We owe a lot to the birds and beats who eat insects, but all of them put together kill only a very small amount of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the insect eaters, spiders never do the least harm to us or our belongings.
Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference almost at a glance for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six.
How many spiders are engaged in the work on our behalf? One authority on spiders made a research of the spiders and found that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre; that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on a football field. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by the spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all human beings in the country.
63. Spiders should be our friends, because .
A. they only eat harmful insects
B. they are great insect - eating animals
C. they destroy large numbers of insects which do harm to the human race
D. their harmfulness is the least
64. The difference between spiders and insects is that .
A. insects have only six legs B. insects only eat plants
C. spiders eat insects D. spiders have more legs than insects.
65. One authority on spiders estimated .
A. that there were more than 2,250,000 insects in a grass field in the south of England
B. that every football field in England had 6,000,000 spiders
C. the quantity of different spiders in England was very big
D. that there were 6,000,000 kinds of spiders on a football field
66. In the last sentence the writer means .
A. experts on spiders know exactly how much spiders eat in one year
B. experts on spiders can only make an estimation of the weight of insects eaten by spiders
C. authority on spiders know the weight of all the people in England
D. authority on spiders know both the weight of the insects eaten by spiders and the weight
of people in England
67. Which one of the following statements is the main idea?
A.Spiders, the greatest insects - eating animals, protect us from being destroyed by harmful
insects and they should be our friends.
B.Spiders are not insects but in fact animals.
C.There are great numbers of spiders engaged in destroying harmful insects on behalf of the
human race.
D.The weight of the insects eaten by spiders in one year is greater than the weight of all
people in England.
D
In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more various jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it does not actually makes him work harder.As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.
Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own. way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modem factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.
Another very important consideration is how each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of the worker contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.
To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
68.Which of the following is the best way to make workers work harder according to the author?
A.Increasing their pay. B. Giving them more spare time.
C. Making the work itself meaningful. D. Replacing large production lines with small ones.
69.The reason why a worker cannot have freedom in doing the job his own way is that .
A. the machinery is so complex that it should be fixed.
B. The production lines are too large in modem factories.
C. The bosses can create very little freedom of choices for workers.
D. The machines must be operated strictly according to instructions and rules.
70.For a worker on an assembly line in a car factory, the job is not enjoyable because .
A. he can only make a part of a car
B. he does not know what he is doing
C. his life in spare time is more interesting
D. the importance of his job is not clear to him
71.In the article, the word "productivity" means .
A. the activity of producing something
B. the production volume in a time unit
C .the plan and the method of production
D. both the quantity and quality of a product
72.The best title for title passage may be .
A. Problems of Modem Workers B. Making Jobs More Interesting
C. Pushing Workers to Product More D. How to Improve Labor Productivity

The lottery of the World Cup draw has handed Asia a golden opportunity to make its wonderful performance yet on the global football stage. December last year, the draw of the 200 FI-FA World Cup finals was as kind as it could have been to three out of four of the Asian teams who will do battle in Japan and South Korea in the summer.
China, Japan and South Korea can all hold realistic hopes of advancing from what are likely to be closely fought first round groups. Only Saudi Arabia has been left with what looks like an impossible task, after being pooled with Germany, Ireland and African champions Cameroon.
China's debut (the first appearance)in the World Cup finals will provide the highlight for the Asian teams, after they were lined up to face Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica. "We know Brazil will be difficult but that is okay, "said China's Yugoslav coach Bora Milutionvic. Brazil may have struggled through the South American qualifying competition but few doubt they will be a much more dangerous outfit by the time the action gets underway, particularly if star striker Ronaldo completes his comeback from injury. "Brazil are still Brazil, " acknowledged Milutinovic, "You can never write them off."
For Milutinovic,the match against Costa Rica will be a special occasion.The central American team is one of the four sides he has previously coached at World Cup finals and the team's current coach, Alexander Guimaraes, is one of his former assistants.
Being joint hosts, South Korea and Japan, were equally smiled upon by the gods of fortune.
South Korea, in particular, will be optimistic about its chances of progressing from a group that includes highly - rated Portugal, the United States and Poland. Japan, likewise, will feel it has a chance against Belgium, Russia and Tunisia. However, both coaches--the Korean's Dutch coach Gus Hiddink and Japan's French coach, Philippe Troussier--played down the suggestions that a place in the second round is assured.
73. Which should be the best title of this passage?
A. Asia has a chance in the World Cup
B. South Korea and Japan will join forces to host the World Cup
C. China is expected to do well in the World Cup.
D. Bora's comments on the World Cup finals
74. From the 3rd paragraph we know that .
A. the Chinese coach has written the names of all the teams in the World Cup in his notebook
including Brazil
B. though Brazil had some trouble in the South American qualifying competition, the gods of
fortune will give then a smile in the finals.
C. if Ronaldo can't come back from injury, the Brazil will be a less dangerous opponent
D. Chinese team has paid much attention to its opponents, especially Brazil
75. Why did the coaches of both South Korea and Japan play down the suggestions that a place
in the second round is assured?
A. Because they know they will meet with some strong teams in the first round.
B. Because they know they will meet with some teams that are rather weak but they want to
save their face.
C. Because they know football is football and no one knows the results until the games are played.
D. Because they want to make their opponents confused before the games.

Some people say parents owe their children everything. I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a 36 education. If they can 37 it, they can 38 send them to the best universities. But they must not feel guilty if they can't. If the children really want to go, they'll find a 39 .There are plenty of loans(贷款) and scholarships for the 40 and eager ones who can' t afford to pay.
When children grow up and want to 41 , their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house. They do not have the 42 to baby-sit their grandchildren.If they want to do it, it must be considered a 43 not an obligation(责任).
Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.
One of their obligations is to give their children a personal 44 . A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly 45 to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so unsure,so afraid of 46 that he (or she) won' t try at all.Of course they should be 47 corrected when they do wrong, but it's often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves 48 . All our parent should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate (宽容) them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand 49 . When criticisms(批评) are really needed, they should be 50 with praises, with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.
Parents owe their children a set of solid values around 51 to build their lives. This means teaching them to 52 the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by 53 . A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have 54 laughing and loving.
No child asks to be 55 . If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.
36. A. college B. formal C. usual D. foreign
37. A. find B. get C. afford D. receive

A
Trees should only be pruned(修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning includes the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.
First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseases or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air.
One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will recover. Often there is a race between the recovering and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is necessary to make the area which has been pruned smooth and clean, for recovering will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then brash it with one of the paints from garden shop produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happens, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.
56.Pruning should be done to .
A. make the tree grow taller
B. improve the shape of the tree
C. get rid of the small branches
D. make the small branches thicker
57.Trees become unhealthy if the gardener .
A. allows too many branches to grow in the middle
B. does not protect them from the wind
C. forces them to grow too quickly
D. damages some of the small side branches
58.A good gardener prunes a tree .
A. at times throughout the year B. as quickly as possible
C. occasionally when necessary D. regularly every winter
59.What was the author's purpose when writing this passage?
A. To give practical instructions for pruning a tree.
B. To give a general description of pruning.
C. To explain how trees develop diseases.
D. To discuss different methods of pruning.
B
Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical(外科) operations. Later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives and, more recently, rubber and plastic. And that was what were used for many years. In the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to revolutionize the art and science of surgery.
The tool is the laser(激光) and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world, for a very large number of different cases. As we all know, light is hot; any source of light-from the sun itself down to a small match burning-will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated (集中). This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light lamp becomes quite strong as it is concentrated to a pinpointsized beam.
Experiments with these pinpoint beams have shown researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to carry out an operation on the back of the human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right through the eyeball. No knives, no needles, no unwanted damage-a true surgical wonder.
Operations which once left patients tired and in need of long periods of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable.So much more difficult operations can now be tried.
The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but more effective. Altogether, tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically.
60.We find that after the development of the laser in the 1960s,______.
A.medical help became hard for industrial workers
B.the study of surgical techniques went through a complete revolution
C.more and more surgeons began using surgical instruments
D.man's whole thought to surgery changed completely
61.The laser beam is very strong because
A.it is a highly intensified(强化) beam of light
B.its strength is increased by the sun
C.it can be connected to strong light sources
D.it is a concentration of light from different sources
62.Surgeons can now carry out operations which________.
A.can be performed successfully only on the human eye
B.result in long periods of recovery time for patients
C.result in very little damage to the patients
D.are made much more complicated by using the laser beam
63.The rapid development of laser techniques means that
A.in another ten years we shall be able to cure cancer
B.surgery is likely to improve greatly
C.we shall be able to treat all the diseases we suffer from
D.we are now able to treat most forms of cane
C
Several days ago, a Beijing-based IT company fired about 400 people overnight. No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift---the book "Who Moved My Cheese?"
The book--a bestseller in the US--is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, includes Coca- Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.
Cheese is something related to everyone' s livelihood-- our jobs, the industries we work in, relationships and love as well. With China's official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges.So what we should do once this "cheese" on which we are so dependent is moved? "Whatever challenges and changes we meet,we should face up to them bravely," Jiang Hengwei,a civil servant said after reading the book. Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees, "We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our town products to meet international standards' and be more competitive."
"With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese." Zhang Yang smiled confidently.
64.The whole passage is about .
A. a bestseller in the US
B. what people think about China's entry into the WTO
C. the change in people's attitude towards changes and challenges
D. how a book influences the Chinese workers
65.The company in Beijing gave each of the 400 fired workers a copy of "Who Moved My Cheese?"
in order to .
A. be more competitive with foreign firms
B. find an excuse for their job cuts
C. let the workers make a living on their own
D. encourage the fired workers
66.The word" cheese" in the passage can refer to .
A. something we depend on for a living
B. a most important kind of food
C. change or challenge
D. way of life
67.From what Jiang Hengwei and Professor Zhang Yang said, we can know that .
A. they have different opinions on changes and challenges
B. people are not afraid of competition from foreign companies
C. the Chinese people are ready to face any changes and challenges
D. they are both greatly encouraged by the book
D
Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much time sitting down. If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow-moving. There are some aspects(方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modem city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.
For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports--and it is especially difficult to do so if you are no good at them--there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.
Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation (放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical(讽刺的), though, that as ourselves have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity - physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other - which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.
68.Pollution, noise and stress are examples of .
A. causes of unfitness
B. bad features of living in towns
C. the things we can completely do away with
D. unavoidable things in town
69.We don' t get much out of separate sports because we .
A. don't do them very often B. don't do them actively enough
C. find it hard to get out of our armchairs D. don't find them interesting
70.To be healthy we must .
A. keep fit and active B. keep fit and learn to relax
C. be active and practise Yoga D. have a sound mind
71.Our forefathers were healthy because .
A. their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
B. they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
C. they spent most of the time out of doors
D. their environment was not polluted
E
When several different people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times, you may see different things. The following are but some of the factors that lead to these different senses.
(1) Each person's senses of others ate formed by his or her own cultural conditioning, education, and personal experiences.
(2) Sometimes senses differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we've observed. It is not necessarily true that person sense is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may center mainly on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same standard to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.
(3) Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don't see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective sense. Selective sense is obviously more difficult when contradictory(矛盾的) information is particularly obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore (忽视) the stimulus "He' s basically a good boy so what I saw not shoplifting." We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information --"All kids get into naughty behavior. Taking a book from the bookstore isn't such a big deal." We can change the meaning of the contradictory information --"It wasn't shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later."
72.The first factor given by the author that affects our sense is .
A. the abilities of one' s hearing and seeing sensors
B. cultural background and personal experiences
C. experiences one learns from others
D. critical measures taken by other people
73.While observing a particular person, .
A. one is likely to take all aspects into consideration
B. one pays more attention to his/her advantage,;
C. children often differ from grown- ups in sense
D. one tends to choose certain cues(提示) to look for
74.Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because .
A. their measuring standard are not the same
B. either of them may be slow to catch information
C. the time for observation is not long enough
D. each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions
75.The underlined word "stimulus" in paragraph 4 refers to .
A. something attractive B. selective sense
C. contradictory information D. shoplifting

Sometimes, I have to examine it over and over again to ensure it' s correct. But time is limited. My lack of confidence causes nervousness, and nervousness then causes lack of confidence again!

Rome had the Forum. London has Speaker' s Comer. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.
Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 2Os, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands d people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street comers. Just talk. Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, "Talk to Me," they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.
They don't collect money. They don't push religion (宗教). So what's the point?
"To see what happens," said Liz. "We simply enjoy life with open communication(交流)."
Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return.
"It started as a crazy idea," Liz said. "We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything."
Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.
Marcia had lest her husband to a serious disease. "That was very heavy on my mind," Marcia said. "To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good," she explained.
To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.
They may plan more parties or try to attract mare people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something they say they'll consider.
59. What did Liz and Bill start doing after September 2001?
A. Chatting with people. B. Setting up street signs.
C. Telling stories to strangers. D. Organizing a speaker's comer.
60. What they have been doing can be described as______.
A. pointless B. normal C. crazy D. successful
61. Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text?
A. They knew Liz and Bill very well.
B. They happened to meet the writer of the text.
C. They organized the get-together in the city park.
D. They are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill.
62. What will Liz and Bill do in the future?
A. Go in for publishing. B. Do more television programs.
C. Continue what they am doing. D. Spend more time reading books.
63. How do they like the idea of writing a book?

After the successful landing of the rover(火星探测车) on Mars, scientists from NASA (the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration) have spent the last few days studying data(数据) from the robot and working on getting it ready to roll.
Spirit made a nerve - racking, but safe landing on Mars on Sunday on what scientists believe is the rocky bed of an ancient lake that once may have contained life.
Just three hours later, the six- wheeled rover began sending black - and - white photos of its surroundings back 170 million kilometres to Earth. The rover sent back a few color photos on Monday.
The scientists were overjoyed by the success. Two of every three past tasks to Mars have failed.
"It's a big step forward for man. Now we have another rover on another planet, exploring a new world. What more could you ask for?" said Charles Elachi , director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The first images from Spirit show a flat, wind - damaged surface dotted with small rocks. The scene made scientists eager to send the rover around the planet in search of evidence(证据) that the landing site was once covered with water.
The US $ 820 million project also includes a twin rover called Opportunity, sent to land on Mars' other side very soon.
The dozens of photos show Spirit landed upright, level and facing south on a flat stretch of the hole the scientists believe once contained a lake.
It will be about a week before the six - wheeled robot is ready to roll off its lander and move around Mars.
Spirit's successful landing has ended the trend of failed tasks to Mars. NASA's last attempt to land on Mars, in 1999, ended in failure. Its last successful landing was in 1997, when Pathfinder carried the tiny rover, Sojourner, to the surface of Mars.
Over the next three months, the robot will use a range of instruments to look for evidence of past water activity in the rocks and soil of the planet.
64.The underlined word nerve racking probably means .
A. smooth B. causing great mental stress C. surprising D. disappointing
65.Scientists believed that .
A. there had been life on the Mars
B. there is life on the Mars
C. the surface of Mars used to be flat
D. the exploration of other planets will end in failure
66.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The Spirit has sent back thousands of color pictures of Mars.
B. It cost the US 820 million dollars to send Spirit to Mars.
C. The successful landing of Spirit is a great success of the whole world.
D. The first landing of a rover on Mars left a deep impression on the whole world.
67.Which is the best title of the passage?
A. NASA Pleased with Its Rover.
B. Man's Record of Exploring Mars.
C. Study on Mars.
D. Successful Landing of Spirit and Opportunity on Mars.

One hundred and fifty-nine pilot whales beached themselves on a faraway beach in New Zealand on January8, but rescue workers were able to save 39 of them.
Rescue workers flew to the beach on Stewart Island, the southernmost island of New Zealand, in a helicopter after learning about the beached pilot whales. When they arrived, 80 of the whales had already died. The rescuers covered the living whales in sheets and try to keep them wet to protect them from the heat. They also dug trenches (沟渠) around the whales and pushed them over to turn them upright, afraid the whales might not be able to breathe if their blowhole (呼吸孔)was upside-down.
When high tide came, the workers pushed the whales out to sea and then sent them further out with small boats. Some of the pilot whales became disoriented (不辨方向的)and returned to the beach, and then the rescue workers had to guide them out to the water again. The next morning they used planes to check and make sure the rescued whales were still out at sea.
Pilot whales beach themselves fairly often. Scientists are not sure why, but think it may be when they make mistakes navigating (航行) or when they follow a sick whale too near the shore. They swim toward shore and when the tide goes down they become trapped on the beach and usually die in the sun. One of the worst beachings was on the same island in New Zealand in 1998, when around 300 pilot whales died.
Pilot whales look like dolphins and are small for whales, growing up to 16 feet long and weighing three tons.
68.The rescuers turned the pilot whales upright .
A.to get them ready to swim back B. to help them breathe smoothly
C. to protect them from the heat D. to guide them in the right direction
69.On Steward Island of New Zealand, at least pilot whales have died so far because of
beaching themselves.
A. 159 B. 80 C. 300 D. 400
70.Pilot whales often beach themselves probably for the following reasons except .
A. they are disoriented
B. they make mistakes navigating, and swim toward shore
C. they become trapped on the beach when the tide goes down
D. they sometimes follow a sick whale too near the shore

I'm afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals(罪犯) are getting younger all the time, but unfortunately the crimes are becoming more serious. I only wish we didn't have to admit this but, in doing so,we must first ask ourselves what's wrong with our society,or else our children clearly couldn't care less about law and order. The days of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples or a packet of sweets from a chain store are actually over. I had a chance to say this to a young offender the other day, "Sweets from a chain store?" He said, "You must be joking. That's what kids do." I may add that he was aged 11. In other words, today's young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description. They've got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want, anyway. I think it's all too easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves. Faced as they are with a society that frequently gives them up on the grounds of color, race or low learning ability, these children turn to crime as a means of showing off their self-respect. Natured on films and TV glamorizing(美化) the role of the criminal, they are quick to copy these anti-heroes. It is a matter of increasing concern to the police and government that the Children and Young Person's Act, 1969, is becoming improper to deal with the rise in young criminals. Because the emphasis has been placed on the cause and gentle treatment of their crimes, rather than on old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves know well that there is very little that can be done to prevent them continuing to steal, damage and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorize(恐吓). I don't like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own interests and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take "the its nothing to do with me attitude" we have used for so long. We must unite in a common demand for harder and stricter methods against these young criminals.
71.When he raised the question "Sweets from the chain store ?", the writer was asking the boy whether .
A. he wanted some sweets from a chain store
B. he was caught while stealing from a chain store
C. the days of stealing sweets from a chain store were over
D. stealing sweets from a chain store was illegal
72.Today's young criminals wouldn't commit such crimes as stealing some fruit because .
A. they are afraid of being caught on the spot
B. people will laugh at them
C. they have enough money to buy them
D. it is not worth the risk
73.According to the author, the reason why some youngsters tend to commit crimes is, psychologically speaking, that .
A. they are often rejected on the grounds of race, color or education
B. they don't know what they are doing is against the law
C. they think it the only way of showing their self-respect
D. both A and C
74.In dealing with young criminals, the author is obviously in favor of .
A. severe punishment once used in the past
B. showing great concern about our children
C. more patient methods in educating young criminals
D. treating every young criminal as our own child
75.In the author's opinion, who should be blamed most?
A. TV and films. B. Young criminals. C. Society. D. Police.
