A
Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some
questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends---you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you---loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease but the situation is somewhat different from that of a ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.
66. When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.
A. as slowly as possible B. in a low voice C. loudly D. forcefully
67. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.
A. noisy B. quiet C. having a rest D. serious
68. The situation in the class is _________that in your house.
A. not very different from B. sometimes the same as
C. sometimes not the same as D. not the same as
69. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is____.
A. to show your ability B. to be very gentle
C. to make sure that you can be heard D. to put the official at ease
70. The main idea of this passage is _______.
A. that we should talk in different ways in different situations

C. that we must keep silent at any time
D. that we must talk with the class
B
Today it seems perfectly natural for us to shake hands when we greet someone or say goodbye. But like so many things that we do without thinking such actions at one time probably represented something.
For example, in primitive(原始的) life the hand was used to fight enemies, kill animals, and make spears and tools. So when the hand was extended to someone, it showed that the person was not armed or ready for fight.
We know that the hand was an important symbol in early religion, probably as a mark of power. The Greeks prayed to their gods with raised hands. Presenting the hands palm to palm was at one time the way an inferior(身份低的) person paid respect to a superior(身份高的) one.
Among the Arabs, it was customary at one time to kiss the hand of a superior. Later on, polite Arabs began to resist the efforts of people to kiss their hands, and sometimes they would end up shaking hands as each tried to prevent the other from showing this mark of “inferiority(下级).”
The early Greeks held out the right hand when they wished to show friendship to a stranger. So we can see that the hand, and what was done with it, was full of meaning to people down through the ages. And while we shake hands without thinking, we are really carrying on a custom that has been handed down to us from ancient times.
71. The second paragraph tells us __________.
A. the handshake didn’t mean greeting B. what hands were used to do in primitive life
C. the handshake showed men’s kindness D. the handshake showed nothing
72. Human beings first made their living by________.
A. hunting B. fishing C. hand D. farming
73. Among the Arabs, at one time,_________.
A. people kissed each other whenever they met
B. men kissed the women whenever they met
C. less important person kissed more important person’s hand
D. more important person kissed less important person’s hand
74. Generally speaking, in different countries________.
A. people shake hands in the same way B. handshake has different meanings
C. strangers never have handshake D. people only use handshake to show friendship
75. The phrase “ hand down” in the last sentence means ________.
A. put down B. leave down C. give down D. pass down
C

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.
Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.
If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

B. you will learn how to reach out your hand
C. you can learn more about them
D. you can tell what colors they really are

C. To See Better—Feel D. Ways of Feeling
83．Which of the following parts can tell you the difference between two coins in your pocket?

Many of the earth’s plants and animals have already died out, and a hundred species become endangered every day. If nothing is done, we may find ourselves alone on the earth.
Wild animals live in forests which are being destroyed by people. As a result, the animals are losing their habitats. Without the trees, the animals are short of food. And many animals are dying out because of pollution.
I suggest that measures be taken to protect wildlife. The government should keep people from destroying forests and shut down the factories which pollute rivers and air. I think more wildlife centers should also be built.
