Cloze Test (30 points, 1.5 for each)Directions:There are 15 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper(脾气) has _31 me with plenty of opportunities(机会) to make them. In one of my earliest 32 , my mother is telling me, “Don’t watch the33 when you say ‘I’m sorry’. Hold yourhead up and look the person in the 34 , so he’ll kn ow you 35 it.”My mother thus made the key point of a(n) 36 apology: it must be direct. You must never 37 to be doing something else. You do not 38 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 39 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 40 . You do not apologize to a hostess(女主人), whose guest of honor you treat 41 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 42 .One of the important things you should do for an 43 apology is readiness to 44 the responsibility(责任) for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 45 for the other person to 46 us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 47 about themselves. That, after all, is the 48 of every apology. It 49 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault: answering for one’s50 encourages others to take their share of the blame.31.A.provided B.mixed C.compared D.treated 32.A.dreams B.courses C.memories D.ideas 33.A.side B.ground C.wall D.bottom 34.A.mind B.soul C.face D.eye 35.A.imagine B.enjoy C.mean D.regret 36.A.useful B.successful C.equal D.basic 37.A.pretend B.forget C.refuse D.expect 38.A.hold on B.put away C.look through D.pick up 39.A.poorer B.weaker C.worse D.lower 40.A.fault B.reason C.result D.duty 41.A.cruelly B.freely C.roughly D.foolishly 42.A.manners B.excuses C.efforts D.roles 43.A.active B.effective C.extra D.easy 44.A.raise B.perform C.admit D.bear 45.A.situation B.need C.sign D.room46.A.advise B.forgive C.warn D.blame47.A.wiser B.warmer C.better D.cleverer48.A.purpose B.method C.end D.advantage49.A.cares B.matters C.depends D.remains50.A.facts B.states C.rights D.actionsIII.

It grew up by the river Granta, as the Cam was once called. A bridge was built over the river as early as 875.In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries more and more land was used for college buildings. The town grew much faster in the nineteenth century after the opening of railway in 1845. Cambridge became a city in 1951 and now it has a population of over 100,000.

Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the works of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’ s writing that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations. ”Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.61. English people_______________.A. have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatest poets and dramatist dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatest poets and dramatist dramatist62. Every Englishman knows____________.A. More or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of the greatest English writer63. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases and questions from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings.64. “HAMLET” is _____________A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complaining about65. It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English because______.A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’s daysSection B Short Answer (15 points, 3 for each)Directions: Answer each of the following questions in less than 10 words.Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced astronauts. Knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought, it would be exciting though a little dangerous. “We are the best men for the job, ” they said to the boss. “There may be problems, but we can find the answers. ”“They are the last people I’d trust, ” thought the boss. “But all the other astronauts have refused to go. ”Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs. When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again, no answer came. Then he hit the door as he could and finally a voice said, “Who is there ?”“It’s me. Who else could it be?”shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again.66. Why were most of the astronauts unwilling to go on a trip?They thought they ________________________________.67. Why were Sam and Joe chosen? They were the only men who ________________________.68.What did the two astronauts think the trip would be like? _______________________________.69. Joe didn’t want to work with Sam again. What’s the reason? Sam was possibly __________________________.70. What does this story show us ? ___________________________of the astronauts’ life.

WritingChildren can’t live happily and healthily without parents, because parents have done a lot during the growth of children. From the necessities such as three meals a day to school education at different levels, parents’ love of and devotion to children are felt everywhere.As children have become grown up, they realize how much their parents have done for them and how important it is to repay their parents. Some work so hard to earn large sums of money to provide big houses for their parents. Others are always cooking delicious food or buying expensive clothes for them. Still others arrange for parents to go traveling both home and abroad and the like. Naturally all these would make their parents happy. However, as far as I am concerned, what parents need most is simply a call, a talk, or a dinner together. To tell you the truth, whenever I have spare time, I try to see them in person, have meals with them, talk with them and share with them my joys and sorrows, which offers them the greatest happiness. In a word, I think we should repay our parents with the deep love from the bottom of our hearts as they have done for us在这一学年中,不仅在业务能力上,还是在教育教学上都有了一定的提高。

I would ban television.I grew up a couch potato. Looking back, it seems I hardly read anything else at all—I watched TV almost seven hours a day.There are so many good reasons for you to be a couch potato. Television is good before-breakfast entertainment. Television is good after-school entertainment. Television is good before-bed entertainment. Everybody watches it, so you have to watch it too in order to talk about it with friends. Otherwise you cannot say a word, which makes you look like an idiot.But when I stopped watching television completely several months ago, I found that I had become a more reflective person, simply because I had more time to think. Television had stopped stuffing its ideas into my head. I was thinking of my childhood,and to my disappointment, I found that it could be summed up adequately in one sentence: “I watched a lot of TV.” And I wasted too much of my youth that I cannot have back. I will never be more imaginative than I was in my childhood.Now I can totally resist the temptation of TV no matter how marvelous the programs are, and I’m entering into a new stage of life. In the meantime, I’d hope th at all couch potatoes would turn off their TV. But I am afraid that with more and more attractive TV programs, I’m not going to be the last person in this country to idle away the best years of life sitting passively in front of a television.6. A couch potato is someone who ______.A. spends much time sitting and watching TVB. plants potatoC. plants potato in the couchD. sits in a couch eating potato7. People watch TV so much because ______.A. television is good before breakfast entertainmentB. television is good after-school entertainmentC. television is good before-bed entertainmentD. All of the above8. According to the passage, people will ______ if they stop watching TV.A. fill themselves with idea on TVB. be more lazy and relaxedknow a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa becausethey had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ?remembered history”. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But if there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.11. Which of the following is NOT suggested in the passage?A. Written history is more reliable.B. Written records play an important role in learning about history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps to answer many questions.. D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.12. Little is known about the central Africa 200 years ago because ______.A. there was nothing worth writing down at that timeB. people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. people there did not know how to writeD. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire13. “Remembered history” refers to ______.A. history based on a person’s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and dances about the most important events.D. both B and C14. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ______.A. it is written downB. No written account is availableC. it proves to be timelyD. People are interested in it15. It is suggested that we could have learned more about our past if ancient people had ______.A. kept a written record of every past eventB. burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers are developing a pill which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Somethink it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some me mories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want tohave them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,”said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.“This could relieve a lo t of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but they can make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out,”said Rebecca Dresser ,a medical ethicist.16. The drug tested on people can ______.A. help cure brain damageB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. stop the body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories17. According to the supporters of the pills, ______.A. the pills might relieve people of troubling memoriesB. the pills could help people avoid mistakesC. taking th e pill will do harm to people’s healthD. the pills should be produced in American soon18. The word “they” (Para.6) refers to ______.A. the researchersB. the people on testC. memoriesD. mistakes19. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people’s lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people’s sufferings from bad memories.20. The passage is mainly about ______.A. an argument about the research on the pillB. a new research on the pillC. a way of deleting painful memoriesD. a new medical inventionPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

(3’* 20 =60’)Directions: There are four passages in this section. Each section is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D.You should decide on the best choice and write your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1It remains to be seen whether the reserves of raw materials would be sufficient to supply a world economy which would have grown by 500 per cent. Southeast Asia alone would have an energy consumption five times greater than that of Western Europe in 1970. Incidentally, if the underdeveloped countries started using up pet petrol at the same rate as the industrialized areas, then world reserves would already be exhausted by 1985.All this only goes to show just how important it is to set up a plan to conserve and divide up fairly natural resources on a world-wide scale.This is a matter of life and death because world population is exploding at an incredible rate.By the middle of the next century population will expand every year by as much as it did in the first 1500 years after Christ. In the southern, poor part of the globe, the figures are enough to make your hair stand on end.Even supposing that steps are taken to stabilize world population in the next fifty years, the number of inhabitants per square kilometer will increase by from 4 in the United States to 140 in Southeast Asia.What can we do about it?In the first hypothesis we do nothing.By the year 2000, the southern parts of the world would then have a population greater than the total world population today. Calcutta would have 60 million inhabitants. It is unthinkable.Alternatively, we could start acting tight now to bring births under control within fifteen years ago so that population levels off.Even then the population in the southern areas would not stop growing for seventy-five years.71.By the year 2000 the world economy will have grown by ______.A.500 per centB.100 per centC.four timesD.an unknown amount72.World petrol reserves will be used up by 1985 if ______.A.Western European consumption continues to expandB.Southeast Asia does not limit its consumptionC.underdeveloped countries start to use petrol at the same rate as Western EuropeD.World population continues to expand73.If we took effective measures right now, the world’s population _________.A.could stabilize in thirty-five years’ timeB.would not stop growing for seventy-five yearsC.would stop growing in about fifteen years’ time from nowD.could stabilize in about seventy-five years’ time74.The author suggests in the passage that _________.A.world petrol supplies will have been exhausted by 1985B.we need to use natural resources carefully and divide them up equallyC.to slow down the economic growth in developed countries might be a best policyD.raw materials will not be enough for the world economy in 200075.The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _________.A.urge people to start taking action right awayB.tell people about the astounding rate of population growthC.describe the problems the world will be faced withD.give an account of the relationship between population growth and industryPassage 2Why do some new products succeed, bringing millions of dollars to innovative companies, while others fail, with great losses? The answer is not simple, and certainly we cannot say that “good” products succeed while “bad” products fail. Many products that function well and seem to meet consumer needs have fallen by the wayside.Sometimes, virtually identical products exist in the market at the same time with one emerging as profitable while the other fails.McNeal Laboratories’ Tylenol has become successful as an aspirin substitute, yet Bristol-Meyers entered the test market at about the same time with Neotrend, also a substitute for aspirin, which quickly failed.The nature of the product is a factor in its success or failure, but the important point is the consumer’s perception of the products need-satisfying capability. Any new product conception should be aimed at meeting a customer need, and the introductory promotion should seek to communicate that need satisfying quality and motivate the customer to try the product. Often, attitude change is involved, and, in the extreme, changes in life-style may be sought.Here the company walks a tightrope.A new product is more likely to be successful if it represents a truly novel way of solving a customer problem, but this very newness, if carried too far, may asked the customer to learn new behavior patterns. The customer will make the change if the perceived benefit is sufficient, but inertia is strong and consumers will often not go to the effort that is required.During the late sixties and early seventies Bristol-Meyers met with new product failures that exemplify both of these problems. In 1967 and 1968 the company entered the market with a $5 million advertising campaign for Fact toothpaste, and an $11 million campaign to promote Resolve.Both products failed quickly, not because they didn’t work or because there was no consumer need, but apparently because consumers just could see no reason to shift from an already satisfactory product to a different one that promised no new benefit.76.The first sentence of first paragraph is a question, to which, the answer is _______.A.that the good products succeed while the bad failB.that the “good” are not really good but the “bad” are actually badC.that new products will succeed if they function well and fail if they don’tD.not given in the paragraph77.What are Tylenol and Neotrend?A.They are names of two drug manufacturers.B.They are probably two brands of medicine which serve as a substitute for aspirin.C.Tylenol is a drug manufacturer whereas Neotrend is a new substitute medicine for aspirin.D.They are probably the names of two laboratories.78.The success or failure of a product seems to be determined by a number of factors, one of which, the author emphasizes, is the consumer’s perception of the product’s _______.A.quality and priceB.usefulness and durabilityC.need-satisfying capabilityD.appearance and inner packing79.What does the author mean when he says “the company walks a tightrope” (see sentence 1, paragraph 3)?A.The company has both the chance to succeed and to fail in dealing in a new product.B.The company has to study the customer’s behavior before a new product is introduced.C.The company has to find a new way to solve customer’s problems before a new product is put on the market.D.The company has to make a great effort to overcome the customer’s intertia.80.Bristol-Meyers failed in promoting Fact toothpaste and Resolve because _____.A.these products were too expensive as compared with their direct competitorsB.both products failed to meet the customers’ needC.the customers could see no sense of a radica1 change of their habitsD.the company forgot an English saying: “You cannot teach an old dog new tricks”Passage 3The more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management, the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid.The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye, in the process sometimes coming up with critical analyses of the forces that shape everyone’s experience in the organization.Consider the novel views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of getting ahead.Coleman is black.He spent 11 years with IBM, half of them working in management development, and now serves as a consultant to the likes of AT&T, Coca-Cola, Prudential, and Merch.Coleman says that based on what he’s seen at big companies, he weighs the different elements that make for long-term career success as follows: performance counts a mere 10%; image, 30%; and exposure, a full 60%.Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won’t secure you the big promotion. He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work, and how high up they are.Ridiculous beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who, like Coleman, feel that he scales have dropped from their eyes. “Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs,” says Kaleel Jamison, a New York-based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues. “They think that if you work hard, you’ll get ahead – that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion.” She adds, “Most women and blacks are so frightened that people think they’ve gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down their visibility.” Her advice to those folks: learn the ways thatwhite males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight.81.According to the passage, “things formerly judged to be best left unsaid” (Lined 3, Pare.1)probably refers to “______”.A.criticisms that shape everyone’s experienceB.the opinion which contradict the established beliefsC.the tendencies that help the newcomers to see office matters with a fresh eyeD.the ideas which usually come up with new ways of management in the organization82.To achieve success in your career, the most important factor, according to the passage, is to _____.A.let your superiors know how good you areB.project a favorable image to the people around youC.work as a consultant to your superiorsD.perform well your tasks given by your superiors83.The reason why women and blacks play down their visibility is that they ______.A.know that someone in authority will reach down and give them a promotionB.want to give people the impression that they work under false beliefsC.don’t want people to think that their promotions were due to sex or colorD.believe they can get promoted by reason of their sex or color84.The author is of the opinion that Coleman’s beliefs are ________.A.biasedB.popularC.insightfulD.superficial85.The best title for this passage would be ________.A.Role of Women and Minorities in ManagementB.The Importance of Being VisibleC.Job Performance and AdvancementD.Sex and Career SuccessPassage 4Geologists have been studying volcanoes for a long time.Though they have learned a great deal, they still have not discovered the causes of volcanic action, they know that the inside of earth is very hot, but they are not sure exactly what causes the great heat. Some geologists have thought that the heat is caused by the great pressure of the earth’s outer layers. Or the heat may be left from the time when the earth was formed.During the last sixty years scientists have learned about radium, thorium, and other radioactive elements. These give out the heat all the time as they change into other elements. Many scientists now believe that much of the heat inside the earth is produced by radioactive elements.Whatever the cause of the heat may be, we do know that the earth getter hotter the farther down we dig.In deep mines and oil wells the temperature rises about IF. for each 50 feet. At this rate the temperature 40 miles below the earth’s surface would be over 4000 F. This is much hotter necessary to melt rock.However, the pressure of the rock above keeps most materials from melting at their usual melting points. Geologists believe that the rock deep in the earth may be plastic, or puttylike.In other words, the rock yields slowly to pressure but is not liquid.But if some changes in the earth’s crust releases the pressure, the rock melts. Then the hot, liquid rock can move up toward the surface.When the melted rock works its way close to the earth’s crust, a volcano may be formed.The melted rock often contains steam and other gases under great pressure.If the rock above gives way, the pressure is released.Then the sudden expansion of the gases causes explosions. These blow the melted rock into pieces of different sizes and shoot them high in the air.Here they cool and harden into volcanic ash and cinders. Some ofthis materials falls around the hole made in the earth’s surface.The melted rock may keep on rising and pour out as lava.In this way, volcanic ash, cinders, and lava build up the cone-shaped mountains t that we call volcanoes.86.This passage mainly deals with the ______.A.A. causes of volcanic actionB.formation of volcanoesC.results of volcanic actionD.work of geologists87.The cause for the heat in interior of the earth is _____.A.radioactive elementsB.the great pressure of the earthC.not mentioned in the passageD.the heat remaining from the formation of the earth88.From the information given in the passage, most minerals would melt ____.A.A. at 400 F, 5000 feet above sea levelB.at 400F, 5000 feet below sea levelC.at 4000F, at sea levelD.with the pressure of the rock above89.From the passage we know that “thorium”(para.1)may be _____.A.volcanoB.radioactive elementC.the earth’s out layerD.heat inside the earth90.The main idea of the last paragraph is _____.A.what causes explosionsB.cause of volcanoesC.formation of volcanoes at earth’s surfaceD.melted rockPartⅤTranslation.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneWhat’s the best way to protect a tender, green seedling from the hungry stomach of deer Give the seedling bad breath! The same chemical that gives people bad breath after they have eaten garlic can save small trees from being eaten by animals.A kind of chemical selenium(硒), which is also found in garlic, is planted in the soil near a young tree. The tree’s roots absorb the selenium which is then carried to the leaves.From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethyl selenide (乙烷硒化物)-the same chemical made in the human mouth after eating garlic. As deer wander around looking for food, they smell the seedlings’ leaves and leave the plants alone.The selenium is important. Why Because each year deer eat millions of dollars’ worth of trees farm seedlings.So far, selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir (枞树) seedlings, but researchers think they could protect fruit trees and garden plants, too.61. When people eat garlic, ________.A. they send out a horrible smellB. they are out of breathC. they will feel sickD. it is hard for them to breathe62. According to this passage the bad smell given off from those leaves is that of ______.the young trees absorb garlicthe roots of the young trees smell like garlicthe young trees aren’t fit for the deer to eatthe leaves of the young trees smell like garlic64. Up till the time the news was announced, this kind of chemical was used _______.A. all over the worldB. all over the United StatesC. on fruit trees and garden treesD. on Douglas fir young trees65. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Hungry Deer and Young TreesB. Why Don’t Deer Eat Young Fruit TreesC. Plants Saved by “Bad Breath”D. How to Protect Young Trees Passage TwoHair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时的), an effect of illness. In those cases we canexpect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root.This is not something that should cause great concern. Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth.The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. This is no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.66. According to science, _________.hair loss is a normal, healthy signman should pay special attention to hair lossit’s likely that men have more problems of hair lossmen lose more hair than women do67. The writer thinks _______.illness causes hair losshuman beings have no way to cure hair losshair loss happening in the fall is an effect of illnesshair loss is permanent68. We now know that the most hair loss happening in the autumn is ________.A. permanentB. healthy signC. seasonalD. nothing serious69. The sentence “This, however, is not the end of the world”means _______.man is sure to find the best way of curing his hair loss in the futurethe writer believes the earth exists for everwe can’t destroy the world by any meansthe last day will never come to our people70. The best title for the passage may be ________.A. Loss or GrowthB. Hair LossC. Healthy SignD. Change with SeasonsPassage ThreeOn the morning of November 18,1755, an earthquake shook Boston,Massachusetts. John Winthrop, a professor at Harvard College, felt the quake and awoke. “I rose,” Winthrop wrote, “and lighting a candle, looked on my watch, and found it was 15 minutes after four.” John Winthrop went downstairs to the grandfather clock. It had stopped four minutes before, at 4:11. Except for stopping the clock, the quake had only thrown a key from the mantel (壁炉台) to the floor.The clock had stopped because Winthrop had put some long glass tubes he was using for an experiment into the case for care. The quake had knocked the tubes over and blocked the pendulum (钟摆). Winthrop, therefore, had the exact time that the earthquake had hit Boston. He looked at the key on the floor. The quake had thrown it forward in the direction of the quake’s motion (运动) by a shock coming from the northwest, perhaps in Canada.71. The text proves that _______.the power of nature is terribleearthquakes happen most often during nighttime hoursthe direction of an earthquake can be discovereduniversities study the cause of earthquakes72. The text suggests that _________.A. Boston was badly destroyedB. earthquakes are common inBostonC. John Winthrop had difficulty sleepingD. John Winthrop wasa scientist73. Which of the following is true________.Some tubes were broken into pieces and stopped the old clock The professor lit a candle because of power failureBoston is in the southeast of CanadaThe shocks were slight in one way74. The earthquake happened ________.A. several minutes before the professor awokeB. and the professor awoke at 4:15C. in the centre of BostonD. when John Winthrop felt it75. Choose the right order according to the text.a. The bed was shaking and John Winthrop awoke.b. John Winthrop looked attentively at this watch.c. John Winthrop got up to light a candle.d. The earthquake happened in Boston in 1755.e. John Winthrop knew the quake’s direction.f. John Winthrop knew the exact quake’s time.g. John Winthrop looked at the key on the floor.A. g, d, e, a, c, b, fB. d, a, c, b, f, g, eC. a, e, d, c, b, f, gD. e, d, g, b, c, a, fPassage FourOceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”.Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, someof his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.76. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on ________.A. an academic aspectB. a military aspectC. a business aspectD. an international aspect77. It was ________ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.A. the American NavyB. some early intercontinental travelersC. those who earned a living from the seaD. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable78. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was _______.to make some sounding experiments in the oceansto collect samples of sea plants and animalsto estimate the length of cable that was neededto measure the depths of the two oceans79. “Defied” in the 5th paragraph probably means “________”.A. doubtedB. gave proof toC. challengedD. agreed to80. This passage is mainly about _______.A. the beginnings of oceanographyB. the laying of the first undersea cableC. the investigation of ocean depthsD. the early intercontinental communicationsⅤ.

That is where I hid all the gold.” A week or so later, he received another letter from his wife: “You would not believe what happened. Some men came with shovels to the house, and dug up the whole back garden.” The prisoner wrote another letter: “Dear wife, NOW is the best time to plant the lettuce.”。
