Indeed it is, for during childhood, one undergoes a step-by-step transformation not only in 41 capacity, but also in physical and verbal skills. Each step 42 an increase in the difficulty of a child’s conceptual and learning abilities. During the early stages of childhood, from infancy to about five, the child learns simple skills including using the toilet, bathing and dressing himself 43 . At this stage, he also learns to be very observant, curious, imaginative and creative. His ability to remember things also 44 at this stage. He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering. Gradually, he learns 45 skills in problem-solving. At school, particular in art classes, the child is especially creative. Given a piece of paper and some colored pencils, he draws a variety of 46 from his surroundings as well as from his family circle. It is not surprising to see a child draw a 47 to represent an abusive father, and an angel to represent a loving and caring mother.
As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the 48 of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates. He also learns to 49 with new life situations, including dates and part-time work. Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play; the more practical and less serious ones manage to take time out of their busy schedules of assignments, reports and tests and examinations to go with their friends on relaxation

The seventh-inning stretch is one baseball tradition that helps make the game one of America’s favorite pastimes. In the middle of the seventh inning(局) fans ritualistically stand and stretch before the home team comes to bat.
No one really knows the origin of the custom, but there are theories on how it started. Baseball historian Dan Daniel provided this explanation: “It probably began as an expression of fatigue. That would explain why the stretch comes late in the game instead of at the halfway point.”
A more popular story involves President William Howard Taft and the birth of two baseball traditions. According to the account, Taft attended the first game of the 1910 baseball season. On the spur of the moment, plate umpire (裁判) Billy Evans gave Taft the ball. He asked him to throw it over the plate. Taft did so, and the custom of having the president launch the baseball season with the first pitch was born.
The story continues that later that same day, President Taft, who weighed well over 300 pounds, became uncomfortable in his small chair. In the middle of the seventh inning, he stood up to stretch his legs. The crowd thought that the president was leaving, so they stood up out of respect.
A few moments later, Taft sat down again. The fans followed, and the seventh-inning stretch was born. What a day for traditions!
No matter how the tradition began, fans have since added to the fun. Now, as they stand to stretch during the seventh inning, they can sing along to Jack Norworth’s 1927 version of the song “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” after the visiting team has batted.
65. Which of the following best defines the word “ritualisticall y”in Paragraph 1?
A. Attracting attention.
B. Showing excitement.
C. Continuing a custom.

__________.

C. between the sixth and seventh innings
D. after the home team has batted in the seventh inning
67. In the more popular story, __________.
A. Billy Evans attended the first game of the 1910 baseball season
B. Taft asked Billy Evans to throw the ball over the plate
C. President Taft stood up to stretch his legs to relax himself
D. the crowd thought the president didn’t respect the players
68. How did the custom of following the “seventh-inning stretch” begin?
A. No one knows for sure where or when the custom began.
B. Jack Norworth started the tradition with the song in 1927.
C. Fans used it as a time to stand and stretch their legs after sitting for the first six innings.

Humans have sewn by hand for thousands of years. It was said that the first thread was made from animal muscle and sinew. And the earliest needles were made from bones. Since those early days, many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency.
Charles Wiesenthal, who was born in Germany, designed and received a patent on a double-pointed needle that eliminated the need to turn the needle around with each stitch(缝合) in England in 1755. Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine, but each design had at least one serious imperfection.
Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked. However,
he was nearly killed by a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory. They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine.
American inventor Elias Howe, born on July 9, 1819, was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources. Howe’s machine had a needle with an eye at the point, and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch. However, Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America. In frustration, he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there. When he finally returned home, he found that dozens of manufacturers were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines.
Isaac Singer, another American inventor, was also a manufacturer who made improvements to the design of sewing machines. He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines. He also developed a foot treadle(脚踏板) to power his machine. This improvement left the sewer’s hands free. Undoubtedly, it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past. Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical, it could be adapted to home use and it could be bought on hire-purchase. The Singer sewing machine became the first home appliance, and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.
However, Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented. As a result, Howe accused him of patent infringement (侵犯). Of course, Elias Howe won the court case, and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties (版税). In the end, Howe became a millionaire, not by manufacturing the sewing machine, but by receiving royalty payments for his invention.
72. Barthelemy Thimonnier’s garment factory was burned down because _____________.
A. people did not know how to put out the fire
B. Elias Howe thought Thimonnier had stolen his invention
C. the sewing machines was couldn’t work finally
D. workers who feared the loss of their jobs to a machine set fire
73. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Singer is an American inventor and manufacturer.
B. The Singer sewing company became more practical.
C. The foot treadle helped to make the sewer’s hands free.
D. Singer made improvements to the design of sewing machines.
74. Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elisa Howe a lifetime of royalties?
A. Because the judge was against Singer for his surly attitude.
B. Because Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer.
C. Because Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it.
D. Because Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine.
75. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. A Stitch in Time Saves Nine
B. The Case between Howe and Singer
C. Patent Laws on the Sewing Machine
D. The Early History of the Sewing Machine

Section D
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Relations between the United States and Spain were not very good in 1898. On February 15, a battleship called the USS Maine blew up and sank in the harbor at Havana, Cuba. More than 260 Americans were killed. Many Americans thought that Spanish saboteurs(破坏者) had set an underwater mine that caused the explosion.
Witnesses and survivors had different versions of what happened. Some said that they heard two explosions. It was discovered that the magazine—which is a storage place for arms, ammunition (军火), and explosives—had exploded. Questions were raised about what caused the first explosion. Did the first explosion come from outside the ship, causing the magazine to explode? Or, did something on the ship blow up the magazine?
Other witnesses said that there was only one explosion. If they are right, then what on the ship caused the magazine to explode? A theory supporting the two-explosion version was that rebels from Cuba had caused the explosion. The rebels were aware of the bad feelings between the United States and Spain. They would have been willing to cause trouble between the nations to bring an end to Spanish rule in Cuba.
The United States government issued an ultimatum (最后通牒) to the Spanish government to end its occupation of Cuba. When Spanish officials refused, Congress and President William McKinley declared war on Spain. The war did not last long, because the United Sates forced an early surrender.
More than 100 years after the explosion of Maine, the cause of the explosion is still unknown. Many questions remain. If an attack from outside the ship caused the magazine to explode, why didn’t witnesses see a splash in the water? Why were there no dead fish in the water if there was an external explosion?
With the mystery still unsolved, the question of what really happened to the USS Maine may never be answered.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)
