You cannot jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called ‎ gravity.     You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you.     Since there is gravity, water runs down hill. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down. Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋转) around.     Then, can we get away from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because spaceships have been invented. Then spaceship will go so fast that it can escape (逃出) the earth’s gravity and carry you into space. 1.

Sea anemones(海葵) are an example. Some have been kept for nearly a century without showing any signs of lifelessness. Some kinds of sea worms can even “grow backwards.” If kept in the dark and given nothing to eat, they get steadily smaller, They finally end as a ball of cells(细胞) looking rather like the egg from which they came.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.     People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear). Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted. Then     People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too.     Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.     Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes. 1. We should take good care of our eyes     .    A. only when we can see well    B. only when we cannot see perfectly    C. even if we can see well    D. only when we realize how important our eyes are 2. When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably     .    A. near-sighted                    B. far-sighted    C. astigmatic                      D. suffering from cataracts 3. The underlined word suffer in the third paragraph probably means     .    A. experience                     B. imagine    C. feel pain                       D. are affected with 4. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for     .    A. seeing at night                  B. seeing objects far away    C. looking over a wide area          D. judging distances 5. People who suffer from astigmatism have     .    A. one eye bigger than the other    B. eyes that are not exactly the right shape    C. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operation    D. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses 13、（1分）     Grandma was a wonderful story-teller, and she had a set of priceless, individually (独特地) tailored stories with which American grandparents of her day brought up children.‎ ‎ There was the story of the little boys who had been taught complete, quick obedience (服从).

When the position and direction of currents are known, ships can use the forward movement of a current or stay away from currents that would carry them off their course. Benjamin Franklin was one of the first to use bottles in the study of currents. He wondered why British mall ships needed a week or two longer than U.S.‎ ships needed in order to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Franklin thought the Gulf Stream (墨西哥湾流) might explain this difference.     Franklin talked with captains of U.S.‎ ships. He found that they knew each turn of the Gulf Stream. They used the current in every possible way. From his talks with the captains. Franklin made his first map of the Gulf Stream. Then he checked his map by using sealed (密封的) bottles.

All of Rick seemed to be shown in the eyes, with a strong feeling that ought to have hurt him     “You knew me,” Rick said. “You hadn’t forgotten.”     “You’re ——just the same,” the boy said, and felt much thankful.     He seemed even to be wearing the same clothes, the same blue shirt and grey trousers.

After everything, the slow white smile still showed the slight feeling of happiness.     “Let’s look at you,” Rick said, dropping into a chair. Then slowly he felt more at home, and he became once more just Rick, as if nothing had happened. There were lines about his eyes, and deeper lines on his cheeks (面颊), but he looked like——just Rick, lined by sunlight and smiling.     “When I look at you,” he said, “You make me think about me, for we look like each other.”     “Yes,” said the boy, eagerly, “they all think we both look like my grandfather.” 1.

Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate (交际) with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.     Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t ‎ trees have ways of sending message? 1. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.    A. are lying on the ground                B. have an unpleasant taste    C. bees don’t like                       D. have an unfamiliar shape 2. The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.    A. growing more branches                B. communicating with birds and bees    C. changing its leaf chemistry              D. shaking caterpillars off 3. According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees by ______.     A. waving its branches                   B. giving off a special smell    C. dropping its leaves                    D. changing the colour of its trunk 4. According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.    A. making special movement               B. touching one another    C. smelling one another                   D. making unusual sound 5. The author believes that the incident described in the passage ______.    A. cannot be taken seriously                B. should no longer be permitted    C. must be checked more thoroughly          D. seems completely reasonable ‎ ‎ ‎19、（1分）     The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single—engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn’t know how high she was flying. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged (冲) into the sea.     Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames (火焰) coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.     In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time on, Amelia Earhart was famous.     What was so important about her flight? Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty—six minutes.     In the years that followed, Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each occasion (时刻) she set a new record for flying time.

To have read Gulliver’s Travels is to have had the experience of listening to Jonathan Swift, of learning about man’s inhumanity (残酷) to man. To read Huckleberry Finn is to feel what it is like to drift (漂流) down the Mississippi River on a raft (木排). To have read Byron is to have suffered his rebellions with him and to have enjoyed his nose—thumbing at (对……的蔑视) society. To have read Native Son is to know how it feels to be frustrated (受挫折) in the particular way in which Blacks in Chicago are frustrated. This is effective communication (交流). It enables us to feel how others felt about life, even if they lived thousands of miles away and centuries age. It is not true that “We have only one life to live.” If we read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish. 1.

Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.     “We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”     I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‎ ‘VACANCLES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!     We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.     English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris. when someone offered me some more. coffee, I said ‘Thank you’ in French. I meant that I would like some more, However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ‘Thank you’ in French means ‘Mo, thank you.’ 1. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.    A. learning English                     B. finding places to stay in England    C. driving their car on English roads        D. going to England by car 2.

Apes all belong to the hot countries of the world—tropical Africa and South—east Asia.     The gorilla is the largest of the apes. He is as tall as six feet when standing upright. Many people think that gorillas are very fierce. They are often described as standing ‎ upright like a man, beating their fists and roaring. In their home, in the forests of Cetral Africa, however, they are not at all like this, They are peaceful animals and never use their great strength unless attacked. Even then, they retreat if they can.     Gorillas have black faces and long, black, hairy coats. They feed during the day on plants and fruit. At night the old male often sleeps on the ground at the foot of a tree, while the others each make a sleeping platform in the tree bending the leafy branches.

If metal is heated and then cooled very quickly, for example by dipping (浸) it in water, it will be very hard but also very brittle (脆) that is, it will break easily. Metal that has been annealed is soft but does not break as easily. It is possible to make metal as hard or as soft as is wished, by annealing it. The metal is heated, and allowed to cool slowly for a certain length of time. The longer the heated metal takes to cool slowly, the softer it becomes. Annealing can also be used on other material, such as glass. 1. Annealing can make metal          .    A.hardand tough(韧) B. hard but brittle C. soft but tough D. soft and brittle 2. Why do people put hot metal in water?    A.Tomake it hard B. To make it soft. C. To make it cool. D. To make it brittle. 3.

In Greece there are the ruins(废墟) of a water system(系统) for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.     Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700’s has also become popular in the United States.     For many years frequent(经常的) bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided(避免), and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!     By the 1700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.     In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were know as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city , for example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days! That was a law!     Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bath once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential (=necessary) to good health. 1.

It is the only continent on the earth without a river or a lake.     The Antarctica is all ice all year round. The warmest temperature ever recorded (所记录的) there is zero, at the South Pole. Explorers (探险家) used to think that a place so cold ‎ would have a heavy snowfall. But less than ten inches of snow falls each year. That is less than half an inch of water. Ten times that much moisture (水份) falls in parts of the Sahara.     The little snow that falls in Antarctica never melts (融化).

The camera is often thought to be a modern invention, but as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkens silver salt. Used as a camera, a big box was set up, and a small hole was cut in one side to let the light in; he made temporary pictures on the salt. Silver salt is still the base of the photographic film today. Then a French scientist made the first permanent (永久的) picture by using a special piece of metal which was covered with silver salt. A photograph he made in 1826 still exists.     The painter De Gear improved the process (制作法) by covering the metal also with placing the common salt which we can eat. This was in 1839, the official date of beginning of photographs. But the problem was the printing of the photographs. And it wasn’t until other scientists developed the kind of photographic paper we now use that good prints were possible and photography became truly modern. In the 1870’s, Matthew Bradey was able to take his famous pictures in American Civil War. In the 20’s of this century, Georges Mann of the United States simplified film developing (冲洗), and Dr Edward Lane invented the so—called ‘Instant Camera’ which uses self—developing film. If we say photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it took more than 100 years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical refinement(密度). 1. What discovery was the basis of ‎ photography?    A. Light darkens silver salt.                     B. Light darkens natural salt.    C. Light darkens silver.                         D. Light darkens self--developing film 2. How was the first permanent picture made?    A. By making use of special paper.               B. By adding common salt to silver salt.    C. By giving a slight colour to the silver salt.       D. By using a special piece of metal. 3. What does the speaker regard as the official date of beginning of photography?    A. 1727          B. 1826            C. 1839            D. 1870 4. According to the speaker why is Matthew Bradey remembered today?    A. He was a soldier.                   B. He took war photographs.    C. He painted portraits.                 D. He designed a portable camera. 5. What did Doctor Edward Lane invent?    A. A cheap process of developing film at home.     B. A new kind of film.    C. An automatic printer.    D. An ‘instant camera’ that develops its own film.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎50、（1分）     The fiddler crab (蟹) is a living clock. It indicates(=shows) the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.     Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.     This characteristic (特性) probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated (受控制) inside the living body of the crab.     The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was cought! 1. The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.    A in a regular 24—hour rhythm            B. in answer to the sun’s rays    C. at low tide                            D. every fifty minutes 2. The crab’s changing colour ______.    A. tells the crab what time it is        B. protects the crab from the sunlight and enemies    C. keeps the crab warm              D. is of no real use 3. When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark , they ______.    A. did not change colour             B. changed colour more quickly     C. changed colour more slowly        D. changed colour on the same timetable 4. The crab’s colour—changing ability was probably developed ‎ ______.    A. in the process of evolution (进化)        B. over millions of years    C. by the work of biologists               D. both A and B 5.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ is about, It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.     The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.      It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment(公寓房间) in New York City.     Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life--style of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series (系列) of short stories, He called it ‘Keeping up with the Joneses’ because ‘Jones’ is a very common name in the United States.’ Keeping up with the Joneses’ came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.     People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.

As I came near to the gates I turned off the headlamps of the car so as to prevent the beam(光荣) from swinging(摇摆)in through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But needn’t  have done so, I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway--- unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps, Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack’s room. He was in bed awake but he didn’t even turn towards me.     “What’s up, Jack?” I said.     “For God’s sake(看在上帝面上), don’t make a noise,” he said.     The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury(伤害).     “Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said.     I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humour (迁就)him to keep him happy, “There’s a snake here” he explained, “It’s asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it. I knew that moving was out of the question. I couldn’t have moved even if I’d wanted to .” I realized that he was serious. “I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home.” Jack went on.” It hasn’t bitten me yet but I daren’t do anything to upset it. It might wake up. I’m sick of this,” he said, ：” I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.”     There was no time to argue or apologize for being late. I looks at him as encouragingly as I could and went out to telephone the doctor. 1. When he got home, Neville found that ______?    A. Jack had fallen asleep while reading        B.

That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about AI Herpin. AI Herpin, it was said, never slept, Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man ‎ themselves.     AI Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised . Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping , In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.     The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injurted(伤害)several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.     Herpin died at the age of 94. 1. The main idea of this passage is that _______.    A. large numbers of people do not need sleep    B. a person was found who actually didn’t need any sleep    C. everyone needs some sleep to stay alive    D. people can live longer by trying not to sleep 2. The doctors came to visit Herpin , expecting to ______.    A. cure him of his sleeplessness    B. find that his sleeplessness was not really true    C. find a way to free people from the need of sleeping    D. find out why some old people didn’t need any sleep 3. After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that AL Herpin ________.    A. was too old to need any sleep            B. often slept in a chair    C. needed no sleep at all                  D. needed some kind of sleep 4. One reason that might explain Herpin’s sleeplessness was ________.    A. that he hadn’t got a bed                B. that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habit    C. his mother’s injury before he was born    D. his magnificent physical condition 5.

Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons (武器) of the gods.     In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡).     The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device (装置物) protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.     Modern science has discovered that one stroke (闪击) of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.     Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average (平均数) of one person every day.     The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.     With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry? 1. People once thought lightning came from ________.    A. the sky             B. the gods        C. the earth          D. nature 2. According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?    A. Metal fences.       B. Electricity.       C. lightning rods.      D. Machines. 3. Lightning can travel ________.    A. as quickly as water            B. not so quickly as ‎ electricity    C. at very low speed             D. at very high speed 4. Which of the following is NOT true?    A. In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning.    B. The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning.    C. Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea.    D. A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm. 5. Lightning is probably ______ to man.    A. useful          B. kind          C. useless          D. friendly ‎ ‎ ‎65、（1分）     Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating(创造) new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.     Sometimes , however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers(汉堡包) are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef(牛肉), they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.     Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting. too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary. 1. According to the writer, English is     .    A. as old as Chinese                  B. older than German    C. not so old as Chinese               D. very difficult to learn  2. Hamburg is     .    A. a kind of food                    B. a round piece of beef    C. the name of a village               D. a city in Germany 3. According to the story,      .    A. few Americans like hamburgers         B. hamburgers are made with beef    C. hamburgers are made with ham          D. hamburgers were first sold about a century ago 4. According to the writer, which of the following can often be found in any large English dictionary?    A. Where all the new words come from    B. Where those Germans came from    C. The reason why a word has a certain meaning ‎ ‎    D. The reason why English is spoken around the world 5. According to the story, the word “hamburger” comes from     .    A. China because it has a long history    B. England because Germans don’t speak good English    C. the round pieces of beef which those people from Hamburg were eating    D. English speakers because they always create new words ‎ ‎ ‎66、（1分）     In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop! That’s our duck!”     The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper(发脾气) very quickly . And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.     In the 1930S,’ 40s and ‘50s Donald and hid friends Mickey , Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.      Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice. 1. Who made Donald Duck film?    A. Mickey Mouse      B. Clarence Nash       C. Walt Disney        D. Pluto 2. When was the first Donald Duck film made?    A.In 1933            B. In 1934             C. In 1966            D. In 1930 3. Who was Clarence Nash?    A. A cartoonist      B. Donald Duck’s voice     C. A film-maker     D. A film star 4. Where do today’s children see Donald Duck?    A. In new film      B. At the cinema         C. On television     D. At concerts 5. The underlined word audience in the second paragraph means     .    A. reads   B.formal interview   C. law freedom   D. the people who watch a film at a cinema 6.

Rays of light from a point (P1)outside reach a very small part of the wall opposite, and we see there a small point. But when the hole is bigger, as in Figure 2, rays from the point(P2)can cover a larger part of the wall opposite, and we don’t see a clear point, Rays from other points(Q) outside can also fall on the same place inside. Therefore the picture is not clear when the hole is big and it is not bright when the hole is small because very very little light can pass through it.. We can get better result with a lens. If the lens is made in the shape shown in Figure 3, all the rays of light from the point(P3) are thrown on point(P’) inside. The picture which we see, therefore, is clear, and it is also bright because more light can pass through a lens than through a small hole. 1. In Figure 1 we see a faint small point on the wall because     .    A. the point(P1) is very small              B. the hole isn’t big enough    C. light rays don’t travel in straight lines     D. light rays can’t pass through a small hole 2. Figure 2 shows that the bigger the hole is,     .    A. the more light can pass through          B. the clearer the picture will be    C. the better result we will get             D. the faster the light rays travel  3. From figure 3, we can see a lens     .    A. can form a clear picture                B. can make light go in a straight line    C. can help light rays to go faster           D. cannot give the picture more light than in Fig. 2 4. The main idea of the second paragraph of the article is that     .    A. a smaller hole is better than a bigger one    B. big holes are better than small ones    C. both a big hole and a small one have their weak points    D. light rays are sure to pass through a hole no matter it is big or small 5. Which of the following statements is true?    A. Light can go through all kinds of materials    B. A camera can’t be made without a lens    C. The lens is only used in a camera    D. Most of the light we get is from the lens ‎ ‎ ‎68、（1分）     Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.     The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians (行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient (效率高的) although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrains use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road ‎ using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.     The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking (冒…危险) their lives by dashing across the road. Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.     Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life. 1. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?    A. Taller trucks can pass under them.    B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.    C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.    D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians. 2. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?    A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.    B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.    C. Because they save money for the government.    D. Because they save time for the pedestrians. 3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?    A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.    B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.    C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.    D. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy. 4. The underlined words a zebra crossing probably mean ________.    A. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the road    B. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes       on its body    C. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the road    D. a safe place across a road for children to play a game 5. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?    A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.    B. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficult,    C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.    D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎69、（1分）     One day, President Lincoln went to a party, At the gathering, a man called Douglas was repeatedly talking about Lincoln’s low position in life and saying that he first met Lincoln ‎ when he was a shop assistant at a village shop. Finally he said, “And Mr. Lincoln was a very good waiter too.”     People burst into laughter, but they quieted down when Mr. Lincoln said quietly.      “Gentlemen, what Mr. Douglas has said is true. I did keep a grocery (食品杂货店), and I did sell cotton, candles and cigars(雪茄烟), and sometimes whisky(威士忌酒). But I remember that in those days Mr. Douglas was one of my best customers. I often stood on one side of the counter and sold whisky to Mr. Douglas on the other side, but the difference between us now is： I have left my side of the counter, but Mr. Douglas still sticks to his as firmly as ever.” 1. Where was Douglas talking about Lincoln’s low position in life?    A. At a meeting      B. In a college       C. At home      D. In a restaurant 2. Why was Douglas repeatedly talking about Lincoln’s low position in life?    A. Because he was friendly to Lincoln.    B. Because Lincoln was an example to show that an American of low position in life can become President of the U. S.    C. Because he wanted others to look down upon Lincoln.    D. Because he wanted to tell other people about Lincoln’s honesty as a shop assistant. 3. How did Lincoln win the oral competition(口头的比赛)?    A. He won it by telling of his low position in life in his early days.    B. He won it by telling of his high position in life in his early days.    C. He won it by saying Douglas was telling lies.    D. He won it by comparing his present position with Douglas. 4.

The sea has provided man with food and a convenient (便利的) way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two—thirds of the world’s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.     In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive (=continue to live). Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs.     The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations (探险) have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined (开采).     Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental ‎ people.     Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents (水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.     Technology is enabling man to explore (勘探) ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.     The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved. 1. The major things that the sea offers man are ______.    A. fish and oil                           B. minerals and oil    C. warm temperature and ocean currents       D. the food, energy sources, and minerals 2. The sea serves the needs of man because ______.    A. in provides man with food              B. it offers oil to man    C. it supplies man with minerals            D. all of the above 3. We can conclude from this passage that ______.    A. the sea resources have largely been used up    B. the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed     C. the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals, and energy sources of the       sea have already been solved.    D. by the year 2000 , the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources 4. The underlined words Oriental people in the fourth paragraph probably mean ______.    A. the people in Asia                  B. African people    C. European people                   D.

I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic(神奇的魔力), wandering into another kind of existence. As a child, I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss(大惊小怪) about any holiday, This still puzzles me. I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear to see it as an irritating(令人困扰的) little habit, like sneezing or yawning(打哈欠).I can never understand this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important. 1. What is the author’s attitude toward dreaming?    A. He likes it                   B. He thinks it puzzling    C. He hates it                   D. He doesn’t accept it as part of his life 2.

For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced wooden sleepers(枕木) under our wheels, and nothing to stop us falling into the steaming pond below if we lost our balance. Right under the bridge lay the body of a dead cow. I watched Mat as he came near to the bridge and rode straight over, without ever, slowing down. I stopped.     “What’s up?” he cried out from the other side.      “I’m not riding over that thing. If I slip, I’ll be in there with that cow,” “There’s nothing to it. I just did it. didn’t I?”     “You’re stronger and taller. My feet don’t touch the ground. You do it for me!”     Mat said strength didn’t come into it and rode off. I knew he would give me at least an hour before coming to help. The sun burned my face, sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my blouse(女衬衫) to my body. Try myself rather than wait for Mat to help. I rode back to get a good run-up and over I went. Mat was that right： all the difficulties were in the mind. 1.

Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930’s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures： detailed(详细的)and lively portrayals(描绘) of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of colour and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it.” she said. 1.

Those around you might not like it, but scratching (moving your nails (指甲) against a part of your body) and twitching (moving suddenly and quickly when you don’ t want to) is an important way of burning up calories (卡路里).     American researchers have found that some people’s squirming (continuously turn your body when nervous) and wigging (move in small movements, especially from side to side) equals (等于) several miles of slow running each day.     The scientists, based at the National Institute of Health’s laboratory in Phenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim.     In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount (量) of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels. By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping, (moving the front part of your foot up and down) finger-drumming (hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard) and other nervous habits. However, others had burned up only 100 calories.     The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men. Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than do thin people. 1. Which of the following can be used to explain the meaning of “fidgeting”?    A. scratching and twitching B. squirming and wigging    C. slow running D. moving one’s body nervously 2.

Scientists found in the experiment that ____ .    A. the energy burned up by fat people when they fidget was more than that burned up by thin people when they fidget    B. some people’s fidgeting burned up more than 800 calories, but some people’s fidgeting burned up less than 100 calories    C. slim women fidget more than fat women but fat men fidget more than thin men    D. thin men fidget more than fat men 4. If someone is thin in a pleasant way, we say they are ____ .    A. skinny B. bony C. slim D. underweight 5.

Unfortunately, people in Europe and the US now eat about 20 times as much sugar and at least five times as much fat as they did in 1800. This may have something to do with the increase in heart disease in Western countries .     For wedding feasts(婚宴), the Bedouin people sometimes prepare a meal of stuffed ‎ roast camel. First, they stuff a fish with eggs. Then they put the fish inside a chicken. They put the chicken inside a whole roast sheep. Then, finally, they put all of this inside a cooked camel!     The avocado contains 165 calories for every 100 grams of fruit. This is more than eggs or milk. It also contains twice as much protein (蛋白质) as milk and has more vitamin A, B and C. 1.

His underwear, night clothes and shirts were all in white, and so were his suits, coats and hats. He became so famous for his clothes and his love for white that he was known all over Ireland as “Linen Cook”.     He refused to have any brown cows in the field of his farm at Cappoquin and even his horses had to be the same pure white as his clothes.     Cook was a eager vegetarian and refused to eat the flesh of any animal or to wear anything produced by an animal.     A fox which attacked (袭击) his chickens was not killed when it was caught. Instead, he gave it a talk on the evils (罪恶) of murder, then offered it a sporting chance by making it run through a line of his farm workers, who had sticks.     Cook had a long and healthy life and showed that “water for drink, vegetables for food and linen and other plant life for clothing were enough to live ‎ on.”     He died in 1726 when he was over eighty years old and was buried in a white linen shroud (寿衣). 1. The man the writer tells us about is a ____ .    A. person who has a strange habit B. famous person all over the world    C. healthy man D. man who lived a long life 2.

But his reply was even ruder.     “You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbours’ atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways.     (a)Said Maureen, “I only found out about it when I was checking in. I’m a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight. A stewardess (空姐) asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking on the plane.” She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived.     (b) I’ve never seen such an unpleasant letter. She said, “I don’t think I’ll ever fly again.” But there was a funny side. Maureen explained, “We were offered duty-free (免税) cigarette from the stewardess on the plane!”     (c) Mr. Ferriday went on; “Believe me, you haven’t. Especially when you travel on my ‎ planes.”     Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal. But they were not told of the company’ s (公司的) no smoking policy.     (d) “He was loud and rude,” said Maureen. “He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police.”     Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply. 1.

And when he was 15 he signed his schoolmates up to start a baby-sitting circle.     Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a company with a £ 30,000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than $15,000 by next summer.     He set up Peter Blackborn Ltd last year to bring out a new, colour term-planner that now students all over the UK are using.     “I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative,” he says, “I believed that I could do a better job and decided to have a go”.     Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him ‎ money.     “Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get a job to support themselves,” he says “I work hard at my company, because that is what will support me next year, after I leave college.”     Friends believe that Blackburn will make £ 1 million within 5 years.     He is not quite so sure, however. “There’s a lot to be done yet,” he says. 1.

He’s clever, careful, and fast .His work is dangerous. Richard thinks of himself as a professional—a professional thief.     Yesterday was a typical day. Richard dressed in a business suit, took his briefcase (手提箱), and drove to a town about ten miles from his home. He parked his car in a busy area, then began to walk along the street. No one looked at him. He was another businessman walking to work.     At 8：05, Richard saw what he wanted. A man was leaving his house. Richard walked around the block again. At 8：10 , he watched a woman leave the same house. After she left, Richard worked quickly. He walked to the side of the house and stood behind a tree.

I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.     Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.     Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use ‎ my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test. 1. The story took place exactly ____ .    A. in the teacher’s office B. in an exam room    C. in the school D. in the language lab 2. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____ .    A. she had not brought a pen with her B. she had lost her own on her way to school    C. there was something wrong with her wn D. her own had been taken away by someone 3. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____ .    A. to go on writing his paper B. to stop whispering    C. to leave the room immediately D. to stay behind after the exam 4. The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was(were) ____ .    A. honesty B. sense of duty C. seriousness D. all of the above 5.

Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.     The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.     A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play： they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.     I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written. 1. What is the text about ‎ ?    A. How to become a good teacher.    B. What a good teacher should do outside the classroom.    C. What teachers and actors could learn from each other.    D. The similarities(相似处) and differences between a teacher’s work and an actor’s. 2. The word “audience” in the fourth paragraph means ____ .    A. students B. people who watch a play    C. people who not on the stage D. people who listen to something 3. A good teacher ____ .    A. knows how to hold the interest of his students B. must have a good voice    C. knows how to act on the stage D. stands or sits still while teaching 4. In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s ?    A. The teacher must learn everything by heart .    B. He knows how to control his voice better than an actor .    C. He has to deal with unexpected situations .    D. He has to use more facial expressions . 5. The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that ____.    A. students can move around in the classroom    B. students must keep silent while theatre audience needn’t    C. no memory work is needed for the students    D. the students must take part in their teachers’ plays 6. Why is it that some good teachers are unable to play well on the stage ?    A. Nobody has taught them how to act on the stage .    B. Their audiences are different .    C. It is impossible for them to do so much memory work .    D. They are not used to repeating exactly the same words . 7. Which of the following is true ?    A. Teachers have to learn by heart what they are going to say in class .    B. A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class .    C. A teacher must speak louder than an actor .    D. A teacher must have a better memory than an actor .‎ ‎ ‎ ‎95、（1分）     In 1909 an English newspaper offered £ 1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an aeroplane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colourful.     One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot (飞行员) because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in an accident!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aeroplane design.     The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up ‎ flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I’ m going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.” Latham was the first to try the flight (飞行) across the Channel. Ten kilometres from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette (香烟). Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer’s field. When he did so, a customs (海关) officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not. “Have you anything to declare?” The officer demanded. 1. The story took place ____ .    A. in the early 20th century B. in the 19th century    C. right after World War I D. at a time not mentioned in the passage 2.

The flight for Bleriot was ____ .    A. a sad one B. a dangerous one C. his first one D. an easy one 4. Why did Hubert Latham want to fly across the Channel?    A. He thought he could manage it easily.    B. He wanted to be the first one to cross the Channel.    C. He knew he only had a year to live.    D. He had always been interested in flying. 5. Which of the following is NOT true?    A. Latham became a pilot on the doctor’s advice.    B. He was told he could live another year.    C. His plane had some trouble.    D. He was saved by a boat when his plane was sinking. 6. Why did the costumes officer rush to the plane?    A. To see if everything was all right with the plane.    B. To make sure that the pilot was not hurt.    C. To ask why the plane had landed in a farmer’s field.    D. None of the above. 7. “Do you have anything to declare?” means ____ .    A. “Do you want any help?”    B. “Is there anything wrong?”    C. “Have you brought anything on which custom duties must be paid?”    D. “Do you have anything to say to the public?”‎ ‎ ‎ ‎96、（1分） The Doctor’s Call     There was ice on the road, and the doctor’s car hit a tree and turned over three times. To his surprise, he was not hurt. He got out of the car and walked to the nearest house. He wanted to telephone the garage (汽车修理站) for help. The door was opened by one of his patients.     “Oh, Doctor.” she said, “I have only just telephoned you. You must have a very fast car. You have got here very quickly indeed.

We reached our new home about the time the state came into the Union. It was a wild area, with many bears ‎ and other wild animals still in the woods. I grew up there. There were some so-called schools, but what was required of a teacher never went beyond “reading, writing, and adding.” If a stranger supposed to understand Latin happened to live for a time in the area, he was looked on as wizard (奇才). There was simply nothing to excite a desire for education. Of course, when I grew up, I did not know much. Still, somehow, I could read, write, and add, but that was all. The advance I have now made is on this store of education, which I have picked up under the pressure of necessity. 1.

It is an extra large bat that has got a fox’s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects (昆虫). Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Sometimes several hundred of them occupy (占据) a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.     Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and squeaks (尖叫) for help. Then the older ones swoop (俯冲) down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree. 1.

As part of his studies he had to work in the mountains. There he often heard of people who had their arms and legs cut off after a snake bite in order to save their lives.     “I was greatly upset by the story of an old farmer I met. It was a very hot afternoon. The old man was pulling grass in his fields when he felt a pain in his left hand. He at once realized he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. In no time he wrapped a cloth tightly around his arm to stop the poison spreading to his heart. Rushing home he shouted ‘Bring me the knife!’ Minutes later the man lost his arm forever.”     “The sad story touched me so much that I decided to devote myself to helping people bitten by snakes,” Shu said. 1.
