He liked thecountry and noted down every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found more interesting than the others. In his diary Thomaswrote, 〝When the Italians eat meat, they use small forks. They do not eat withhands because, as they say, people do not always have clean hands.〞Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought afew forks.At home Thomas gave a dinner party to show theinvention to his friends. When theservants brought the steak, he took out a fork and began to eat like they did in Italy.Everybody looked at him in surprise. When he told hisfriends what it was, they allwanted to take a good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians were very strange people because the fork was very inconvenient.Thomas Coryate tried to prove the opposite. He said itwas not nice to eat meat withone’s fingers because they were not always clean.Everybody got angry at that. Did Mr Coryate think thatpeople in England alwayshad dirty hands? And weren’t the ten fingers we had enough for us?Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy touse the fork. But the firstpiece of meat he took with the fork fell to the floor.

The steak was too tough.BNew York State has passed the USA’s firststate law banning motorists talking on hand-held cell phones(手机). The ban will begin the following November 1,although drivers caught using hand-held cell phones will be given only warningsduring the first month.First-time violators will face a$100 fine. A second time calls for a $200 fine and every violation after thatwill cost $500.At least a dozen localities(地方) have established bans, starting in 1999; and 40states have had bans proposed but not passed. At least 23 countries, includingGreat Britain, Italy, Israel and Japan, ban drivers from using hand-held cellphones.There are about 115 million cell phones inuse in the United States and more than 6 million in New York State.〝To think that I’m not going to use a cellphone when at the same time I can still use my laptop(膝上电脑), I still can read a paper, I can still change mypants(裤子) while driving 65 mph. I think there’sjust something wrong.〞 An official said.Other critics noted that other things likeeating, drinking coffee and applying makeup while driving posed(造成)at least as much of a concern (关注). They suggested that the ban include a broader rangeof things.59. How much fine will a hand-heldcell phone user receive if he has been caught using it four times while drivingafter November?A. $500B.$1,000 C.$1,200 D.$1,30060. We can see from this passage that .A. the ban has been put into effect in most states in the U.S.B. several of the developed countries forbid drivers using hand-held cell phones while driving.C. Over fifty localities or states ban drivers from using hand-held cell phones while driving.D. More people in the U.S. are against the ban than for it.61. The official mentioned in this passage .A. does not agree with this banB. doesn’t believe using hand-held cell phones while driving will catch any dangerC. doesn’t understand why hand-held cell phones alone should be banned among many others.D. Believes changing pants while driving will cause greater danger62. The writer intends to tell us in thelast paragraph that .A. it is not fair to have this ban passedB. the ban will never be passed in the wholecountry.C. More activities of the same kind shouldalso be banned.D. The ban will meet with more criticism63. In this passage the underlined word〝violators〞 means people who .A. break the lawB.drive a carC. work as policemenD.make the lawCAlthough emailing is very convenient (方便的),there are a number of problems to be aware(意识到的) of. For e_ample, many business people receive morethan 100 emails every day. Because they must also make telephone calls, attendmeetings, write reports and so on, they may not be able to spend much time reading and replying to emails.It is necessary to keep your emails shortand to the point.Make sure that you have a suitable headingin the subject line so that the reader will want to read your message. Many emails are deleted unread because of the lack of time.Make sure that you have given all the timeand place of a meeting.Do answer emails immediately and e_actly.If you can not give the information requested, then reply with 〝Thanks for yourmessage. I’ll get back to you asap .〞 Then make sure that you do!Check your message carefully beforesending.Use the subject line to indicate(指出)what the message is about and then do not replyyourself in the te_t. Because emails already have the person’s name in theheading, it is not necessary to start your message with 〝Dear…〞.Although thelanguage in emails is often quite informal, writing in sentences and correctuse of grammar and punctuation(标点), including capital(大写的) letters, is important. For e_ample, 〝the meeting inHarbin on Monday 11th December〞 does not give a good impression (印象).64. What do we get mainly from the te_tafter reading?A. Useful information about emails.B. Ways of replying to emails.C. E_amples of writing emails.D. Suggestions for writing emails.65. The underlined word 〝asap〞 is anabbreviation(缩写) meaning of 〝〞.A. laterB.early C.clearly D.quickly66. When writing an email, you should dothe following e_cept .A. keeping it short and informative.B. writing the subject.C. starting with 〝Dear…〞D. trying not to write sentences which are wrong in writing or grammar67. The last e_ample in the te_t doesn’tgive a good impression because .A. it is quite informal and careless in writing.B. Readers cannot understand it at allC. It pays no attention to punctuation and capital letters.D. It gives readers wrong use on grammar and spellingDA good education should, among otherthings, train you to think for yourself. The old e_amination system does anything but that. What has to be learnt is strictly laid down by a syllabus(教学大纲) so the student is encouraged to memorize.E_aminations do not motivate(激励) a student to read widely but to restrict (限制) his reading. They lower the standard ofteaching. Teachers themselves are often judged by e_amination results and instead of teaching their subjects, they are reduced to training their studentsin e_am techniques which they despise(鄙视). Themost successful candidates(候选人) are not always the best educated; they are the best trained in the technique of working. The results on which so muchdepends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment(主观评价) by some anonymous(匿名的)e_aminer. E_aminers are only human. They get tired and hungry; they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark in a limited amount of time. There must be manysimpler and more effective ways of assessing a person’s true abilities. Thee_aminations are only a profitable(有利可图的)business for the institutions that run them. The best comment on the system isthat message recently appeared on the wall, 〝I were a teenage dropout and now Iam a teenage millionaire.〞68. Which of the following best e_pressesthe main idea of the passage?A. A good education trains you to think foryourself.B. E_amination system trains you to think foryourself.C. The e_amination result sometimes is notvery objective.D. The e_amination system has a lot ofproblems.69. The word 〝they〞 in the sentence 〝theyare reduced to training their students in e_am techniques which they despise〞refers to .A. the teachers.B.the students.C. the e_aminations.D.the subjects.70. What does the author think of thee_aminers?A. They are very subjective.B.They are very responsible.C. They are always very fair.D.They are very careful.71. According to the passage, why do peoplestill keep the e_amination system?A. Because it trains the student to think for himself.B. Because it motivates a student to learn more.C. Because the e_am’s result can judge a teacher’s ability.D. Because some people want to make money through e_ams.72. What can be concluded from the passage?A. The e_amination result can show how goodthe education is.B. E_amination system enables a student tolearn more knowledge.C. The assessment by anonymous e_aminerssometimes cannot show a student’s ability.D. We cannot find better ways of assessing aperson’s ability than e_ams.ESuppose you work in a big company and findEnglish very important for your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen.

I got a taste of that dream in 2001. When my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to bevery dull. Around that time, I told my husband that they were having an essay competition and the topic was experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Bush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn't believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had even been in, but I wasn't frightened -- I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, "What have I gotten myself into?" But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before jay opened the parachute (降落伞), then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt -- much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don't stop living just because you are 84 years old.

An example of the secondtype of house won an Awardof Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivan’s Islandoff the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house wasbuilt to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane (飓风) Hugo 10 years ago. In September1989, Hugo struck South Carolina,killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina’sshoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes was n’t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo’s wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan’s Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricanewith peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwoodshell makes it resemble "a large party lantern ( 灯笼)" at night, according toone observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house's wooden frame isreinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.To further protect the house fromhurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings --long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appearinsecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. Theyalso elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to rununder the house instead of running into it. "These swells of water comeashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-frontbuildings," said Huff.Huff designed the timber pilings to bepartially concealed by the house's ground-to-roof shell. "The shell masksthe pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pantlegs pulled up," said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shellshould break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architectexplained.36. After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina’s shoreline are required_______.A) to be easily reinforced B) to look smarter in designC) to meet stricter building standards D) to be designed in the shape of cubes37. The award-wining beach house is-quite strong because _______.A) it is strengthened by street rods B) it is made of redwoodC) it is in the shape of a shell D) it is built with timber and concrete38. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to _______.A) withstand beak winds of about 200 km/hr B) anchor stronger pilings deep in the sandC) break huge sea waves into smaller one D) prevent water from rushing into the house.39. The main function of the shell is ___________.A) to strengthen the pilings of the houseB) to give the house a better appearanceC) to protect the wooden frame of the houseD) to slow down the speed of the swellingwaterSection DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Joe Bauer got the call on a Friday afternoon. A 10-year-old dog named Oscar was seriously sick because of a particular cancer in dogs, and had been given only three months, at best, to live. The dog's owners were heartbroken and planned to have Oscar put down the next day.Instead, Bauer, who was a scientist at the Cleveland Clinic's Center, shipped an experimental cancer drug free-of-charge to Oscar's vet, which means he registered Oscar in a trial that could end up benefiting not only suffering dogs but humans as well.Treating dogs as a prelude to finding new cancer drugs for humans is an idea that is catching on. "Dogs are benefiting more and more as people recognize the value of studying new cancer treatment---not just drugs---in dogs," said Bauer. "There are a couple of reasons why dogs are so good."For one thing, the mice usually studied in cancer research are genetically bred to develop cancers. Dogs, like humans, spontaneously(自发的) develop cancers.Also, not only are dogs similar to humans in their genetic makeup, they are also influenced by the same environmental factors that humans are.Experimental drugs might get response rates of 80 percent or higher in mice, but that figure often drops to 10 or 15 percent when applied to humans, added Bauer.It's been five years since Oscar's death-sentence, and he's still going strong. Since then, three other dogs have been treated and have responded to the drug, without any negative reactions, Bauer said."There's a great inequality for drugs available for animal use and those available for human use," Bauer said. "Most of those used to treat dogs and other pets were developed in the 1950s." Bauer added, "This helps animal patients have access to treatments they wouldn't have access to otherwise. We look at this as benefit to both species."(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. For how many days was Oscar believed to live five years ago?82.
