Today I am known for my voice. Perhaps the greatest honor came when I was asked to read the New Testament (新约全书) on tape.

“Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it
52 memory”.
By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up. For a moment I stood 53 . Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way through!
Afterwards, Professor Crouch congratulated me, and 54 me to read other writers’ poetry in public.

A.
In 1997, a group of twenty British women made history. Working in five teams with four women in each team, they walked to the North Pole. Apart from one experienced female guide, the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before. They managed to survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men during the same time period.
The women set off as soon as they were ready. Once on the ice, each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge (雪橇) weighing over 50 kilos. This would not have been too bad on a smooth surface, but for long distances, the Arctic ice was pushed up into huge piles two or three metres high, and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other so that they didn’t become damaged. The temperature was always below the freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible. It was also very difficult for them to put up their tents when they stopped each night.
In such conditions, the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometres a day. But there was another problem. Part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift (漂流) back more than five kilometres during the night. That meant that after walking in these very severe conditions for ten hours on one day, they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again. Furthermore, each day it took three hours from waking up to setting off and another three hours every evening to set up the camp and prepare the evening meal.
So, how did they manage to succeed? They realized that they were part of a team. If any one of them didn’t pull her sledge or get her job done, she would endanger the success of the whole expedition (探险). Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else being completely wasted, so personal feelings had to be put to one side. At the end of their journey, the women agreed that it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.
56. On the expedition, the women had to be careful to avoid ________.
A. falling over on the ice B. being left behind
C. damaging the sledges D. getting too cold at night
57. It was difficult for the women to cover 15 kilometres a day because ______.
A. they got too tired B. the ice was moving
C. they kept getting lost D. the temperatures were too low
58. What is the main message of the text?
A. Motivation and teamwork achieve goals.
B. Women can do anything they want.
C. It is sometimes good to experience difficult conditions.
D. Arctic conditions are very severe.
59. Which of the following items is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Weather conditions. B. Protective clothing.
C. Preparing food. D. Feelings and relationships.
B.
The first organized system that was used to send messages began in Egypt around 1500 B.C. This system developed because the pharaohs (法老王) frequently needed to send messages up and down the Nile River in order to keep their empire running smoothly. Later, the Persians (波斯人) developed a more efficient system for sending messages using men and horses. Message carriers rode along the road system stretching from one end of the Persian Empire to the other.
The problem with early systems for sending messages was that only the government was allowed to send messages. Businessmen and other people had to find their own ways for delivering messages to distant places. Later, with the fall of the Roman Empire, organized postal systems almost completely disappeared in Europe for 600 years. In China, however, Kublai (忽必烈) Khan had built up his own system for delivering messages. This system worked in the same basic way as the Roman system. The difference was that Kublai Khan kept 300,000 horses along the roads of his delivery lines.
It wasn’t until the 1500s that a well-organized postal system appeared again in Europe. One family gained the right to deliver mail for the Holy Roman Empire and parts of Spain. This family continued to carry mail, both government and private, throughout Europe for almost 300 years. However, government-controlled postal systems finally took over private postal businesses, and by the 1700s government ownership of most postal systems in Europe was an accepted fact of life. These early government systems remained quite expensive for public use until 1840 when Roland Hill suggested lowering postal rates in order to encourage more people to use the system. Soon after that many other countries took up his idea.
60. ______ was (were) allowed to use the early Roman postal system.
A. Everyone B. Rich business owners
C. No one D. The government
61. What was different about the postal system used by Kublai Khan?
A. It had more horses. B. The roads were smaller.
C. The stations were further apart. D. It delivered mail to all of Asia.
62. In the ______, government monopoly of postal systems became common.
A. 1500s B. 1700s C. 1800s D. 1900s
63. What did Roland Hill suggest which changed postal practices around the world?
A. Make the post faster. B. Make the post bigger.
C. Make the post cheaper. D. Make the post easier.

No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Famous dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed description of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.
Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime and gossip, to the “serious”, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions, American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.
Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try all out to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.
As in other countries, American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The Newspapers also drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.
68. There are fewer national newspapers in ________.
A. Britain than in the USA B. France than in Britain
C. the USA than in Britain or France D. France than in the USA or Britain
69. Most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers because _____.
A. they have to keep up a good relation with them
B. they have to compete with television
C. they have to write about crime and gossip
D. they have to give factual news in an interesting way
70. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political preference by _______.
A. supporting extremist groups from time to time
B. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for them
C. avoiding carrying articles about extremists
D. printing articles representing different political viewpoints
71. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. the characteristics of American newspapers
B. the development of American newspapers
C. the functions of American newspapers
D. the advantages and disadvantages of American newspapers

Work stress levels “lower” in UK
UK workers are among the least stressed in Europe, a survey has suggested.
Just 20% of British workers found their workplace “too stressful” compared with an average of 27% across Europe.
Switzerland and Sweden suffered the highest levels of anxiety in their job (33%), the survey by global recruitment(招募) agency Kelly Services found.
The poll(民意测验) of 19,000 people across 12 countries also found that male workers, older staff and those in steady jobs were under the greatest pressure.
“A certain amount of stress is inevitable and can be a good thing when it pushes people beyond their comfort zone to work harder and smarter,” said Steve Girdler, marketing director of Kelly Services UK.
“But high levels of prolonged stress are not good because they have an effect on productivity(生产效率) and are associated with physical and emotional illness,” he warned.
The group also found stress increased significantly with age-rising from 19% in the 15-24 age group to 23% for those aged 45 and above.
The report suggested these workers could also be suffering from added stress at home and increased responsibility.
Those working the longest hours found their job the most stressful -- 18% for those working 30 hours or less, 34% for those clocking on for 41-50 hours, and 50% for those working longer than 51 hours.
Kelly Services also uncovered a close link between stress and job satisfaction.
For those workers who said they faced too much stress, just 28% were happy in their jobs, while for those with “just the right amount of stress” happiness levels jumped to 65%.
The findings suggest staff enjoy jobs where they face challenges that push them to “learn new skills”.
72. The underlined word “inevitable” in Paragraph 5 means________.
A. unreasonable B. unnecessary C. unavoidable D. unexpected
73. How many British workers surveyed found their workplace “too stressful”?
A. 5130. B. 6270. C. 3610. D. 3800.
74. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Stress is of no benefit to workers at all, whether young or old.
B. Long term of high stress may result in various sicknesses.
C. The longer a worker works, the more stressed he will be.
D. The older a worker is, the more stress he will have to face.
75. The purpose of writing the passage is _______.
A. to offer practical tips on reducing working stress
B. to find the link between stress and job satisfaction
C. to seek ways to reduce the workers’ working stress
D. to report the result of a recent survey in Europe

Handshaking, though a European practice is often seen in big cities of China, nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed hands to each other as a sign of goodwill. As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other’s hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other, as is often the case in China. “Let’s shake (hands) on it” sometimes means agreement reached.
Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her, even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly. There is generally a misunderstanding among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the Chinese are rather reserved in manner. But in fact some people in western countries are more reserved than some Chinese today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you.
