(A)
The old monk sat by the side of the road. With his eyes closed, his legs crossed and his hands folded in his lap, he sat. In deep thinking, he sat. Suddenly the peace and silence was interrupted by the harsh and demanding voice of a samurai.(武士) “Old man! Teach me about heaven and hell!” At first, as though he had not heard, there was no response from the monk. But gradually he began to open his eyes, the faintest hint of a smile playing around the corners of his mouth as the samurai stood there, waiting impatiently, growing more and more irritated with each passing second. “You wish to know the secrets of heaven and hell?” replied the monk at last. “You who are untidy. You whose hands and feet are covered with dirt. You whose hair is uncombed, whose breath is awful, whose sword is all rusty and neglected. You who are ugly and whose mother dresses you funny. You would ask me of heaven and hell?” The samurai uttered a curse. He drew his sword and raised it high over his head. His face turned red, and the veins of his neck stood out as he prepared to cut the monk's head from its shoulders. “That is hell,” said the old monk gently, just as the sword began its descent.
In that fraction of a second, the samurai was overcome with amazement, awe, compassion and love
for this gentle being who had dared to risk his very life to give him such a teaching. He stopped his sword in mid-flight and his eyes filled with grateful tears. “And that,” said the monk, “is heaven.”

The tennis tournament must have attracted many devoted fans to stay up all night, watch the games and shout and yell in front of the TV. However, watching a tennis match in a stadium is very different: while it’s more exciting, it’s not as informal as being at a soccer match. When you watch a tennis match, certain things are expected of you.
In recent years, the dress code for tennis spectators has generally become more relaxed. Those in VIP boxes have to dress more formally, for example, wearing suits. For most audiences, comfort is their main concern. Wear something comfortable such as shorts, tank tops or T-shirts. Light colors are recommended. Wear comfortable shoes because you may have to walk a long way. A hat or a pair of sunglasses is also necessary. Going barefoot or removing your shirt is forbidden.
While cheering is a great part of tennis, booing(发出嘘声) is never appropriate. Tennis isn’t like other professional team sports, where fans are one side and hate the other team. It’s natural for people to have favorite players they want to cheer for, but they should be courteous to the opponent.
Naturally, at some point you may have to get up to go to the restroom or to get something to eat. Tennis players change sides after odd numbered games, and they get a small break at that time. This is the best time to leave or return to your seat. Try not to stand in the aisles at any time. Try not to distract others.
Signs are common in sports, but not in tennis. Holding up a clever sign in an effort to get on TV may appeal, but it can distract the players. It can also be disrespectful to other spectators, if it blocks their view.
Tennis is there for you to enjoy, and if you follow the basic unwritten rules, you will get a lot more out of the experience.
31. For ordinary audiences, it is not allowed to __________.
A. get dressed in dark colors
B. take off their shoes
C. wear shorts and sunglasses
D. wear casual clothes
32. What attitude should the fans hold towards the opponent?
A. Devoted.
B. Disrespectful.
C. Polite.
D. Objective.
33. Holding up signs _________.
A. may prevent others watching the game
B. shows respect for the fans on the other side
C. distracts TV audiences from enjoying the game
D. is not common to in sports games
34. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Watching a football game is more casual than a tennis match.
B. Fans dislike the other team in some professional team sports.
C. It is not polite that devoted fans yell in front of the TV.
D. Audiences are suggested leaving their seats during the break.
35. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. do’s and don’ts in a tennis match
B. skills of appreciating a tennis tournament
C. differences between tennis and football matches
D. rules for watching a live tennis match
(C)
When you've seen a couple fighting or having a pity argument, what is the first thing that comes in your mind? Probably you think that you will never allow arguments to set in your relationship, especially when you get married, or will never think to start one, but arguments seem to come naturally.
You argue about the brand of coffee, or what to eat at lunch, who will do the dishes, etc. Sometimes, more than that, but regardless of your reasons for the argument (or fight), fixing a troubled relationship and having a solution is very important.
Our partners are our most valuable fortunes. Companions provide a listening ear for our troubles, support for our dreams, and a safety net when we fall. They give us love, even when we are unlovable. They are and must be our friends.
Inevitably, though, sometimes we go through troubled periods and a solution should be sought through the following steps:
Address the situation. Admit to your partner that something is wrong and needs to be fixed. Determine the problem. Together, discuss what problems we are facing. Be honest and let your honesty be in its proper place. Remember, you are talking to your partner, another half of yourself. Apologize. We accept responsibility for our actions and seek forgiveness.
Refuse to blame. In addition, we must avoid defending ourselves. There could be a temptation to argue over who did what; however, the goal is not proving who is right but saving the relationship. Begin repairs. Ask, "What can I do to rebuild our relationship?" The key here is to do willingly whatever is requested.
Commit to rebuilding. Immediately start investing your time, energy, and love in restoring the relationship. In order to have a good relationship with a partner who accepts and loves us, we must be willing to pay the high price of patching up the broken relationship. Walking away might seem easier, but in the long run, we would lose a valuable treasure.
36. It is essential to fix a troubled relationship in that __________.
A. arguments seem to come naturally
B. arguments are not allowed in a good relationship
C. companions provide us with comfort and support
D. sometimes we inevitably go through troubled periods
37. The solutions to fixing a troubled relationship do NOT include __________.
A. asking for forgiveness of the mistakes
B. bravely facing the existing problems
C. being honest when discussing the problems
D. trying to speak for ourselves to protect our rights
38. The author does NOT agree that __________.
A. our partners are our most valuable treasures
B. it’s sensible to ignore the heated argument for a while
C. proving who is to blame has nothing to do with the solution
D. it takes time, energy, and love to rebuild the broken relationship
39. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A. avoiding
B. repairing
C. keeping
D. ignoring
40. The purpose of the text is to __________.
A. tell how to sensibly deal with troubled relationships
B. confirm that arguments are common in daily life
C. encourage people to invest love in a relationship
D. persuade people not to blame those who make mistakes
(D)
Bissel is a small village of the West Sahara. It lies next to a l.5-squarekilometer oasis(绿洲), from where three days and nights are generally required to go out of the desert. However, before Ken Levin discovered it in 1926, none of the people had walked out of the desert. Reportedly, they were not unwilling to leave this barren land, but had no way to walk out of it after they had tried many times.
As an expert of the British Royal College of Sciences, Ken Levin did not believe this viewpoint. He asked the reason of the people here but got the same answer: to whichever direction they went from here, they would eventually return to this place. To prove this parlance, he did an experiment. He went north from Bissel Village and finally walked out from it in three and a half days.
Why couldn’t the Bissel villagers walk out of it? Ken Levin was ver y puzzled. He had to employ a Bissel villager to lead the way and wanted to find out the reason. They prepared the water that could be used for half a month and two camels, but this time Ken Levin didn't bring his compass, following the man.
Ten days later, they walked for about 800 miles. On the 11th morning, an oasis came into their view. They really came back again to Bissel. This time, Ken Levin came to understand that the Bissel people couldn’t walk out of the desert because they had no knowledge of t he North Star. In the desert, if a person goes forward relying on his or her sense, he or she will make lots and lots of circles of different sizes, and the final footprints will be most likely the shape of a tape.
Leaving Bissel Village, Ken Levin brought a young man called Argutel, the man who had cooperated with him last time. He told the young man, “As long as you rest in the daytime and walk towards the brightest star at night, you would be able to walk out of the desert.” Argutel did as he was told.
Three days later, he came to the edge of the desert.
Now in the West Sahara Bissel has been a bright pearl, where tens of thousands of tourists come here. Argutel’s bronze statue stands in the center of the town. On the base of the bronze statue a saying was carved.
41. Villagers in Bissel didn’t walk out of the desert because ________.
A. they loved the land where they were born
B. they were discouraged by their failures
C. they believed they had no way out
D. they knew little about astronomy
42. The un derlined word “parlance” (Paragraph 2) most probably means ________.
A. theory
B. idea
C. truth
D. argument
43. According to the passage, Ken Levin ________.
A. became the first man to walk out of the West Sahara desert
B. was energetic and physically healthy and strong
C. came to Bissel to do experiments on behalf of his college
D. taught Bissel villagers science and technology after he arrived
44. It can NOT be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. a person depending on his sense always makes mistakes
B. the use of compass was vital in the walk out of the desert
C. tourism in Bissel was greatly developed and improved
D. Argutel was thought highly of by the local people in Bissel
45. Which of the following sayings will most probably be carved on the base of the statue?
A. A long journey starts with the first step.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. A new life starts from the fixed direction.
D. Two heads are better than one.
