They first made a word-for-word 43 and then an idiomatic translation into English. 44 they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without 45 the book and then compared their translation 46 the original. The schoolmaster was always 47 to give support. All the schoolmasters believed schoolboys should be 48 if they had difficulty learning Latin.After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions in imitation(模仿) of the Latin writers they 49 . And as they began to read Latin poems, they began to write 50 in Latin. 51 Milton was already a poet at ten, his poems were much better than 52 painfully put together by the other boys.

Had he stayed away, everything might have been fine, but he returned and infected her with HIV. He died of AIDS in 1990 while she was taking her final exams for a degree in social work, leaving her with two children. Her husband‟s brother, according to the custom of the place, was allowed to take her as wife. “I saved the boy‟s life,” 30-year-old Were says now, “I stood up and said …I‟m HIV-positive.‟” Were says the family disowned her.Thanks to the aid by an international organization, Were is now taking the “triple cocktail” that promises to extend the lives of the infected by several years. The drugs cost upwards of $15,000 a year. But for the help of the organization, Were would never be able to afford it, for one day‟s medicine costs much more than what the government spends on each citizen‟s health care in a year. Her pills are alwayswith her in a silver box, but she admits that she often cut back her doses to avoid the weight gain that often occurs as a side effect, even though taking the drugs improperly will make them less effective.56.Beatrice Were‟s husband returned home _____.A. to remarry herB. to make everything fine with the familyC. only to cause his wife‟s deadly diseaseD. and became a bank official57. The fact that Beatrice told the family that she was HIV- positive shows that _____.A. she disliked her husband‟s familyB. she cared more for others than for herselfC. she wanted to be disowned by the familyD. it was unlawful for her husband‟s brother to marry her58. The government of Uganda _____.A. pays for the “triple cocktail” for Beatrice every yearB. promises to extend Beatrice‟s life by several yearsC. thanks to an international organization for their help to save BeatriceD. spends much less than $40 on each citizen‟s health care each year59. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. the “triple cocktail” can prevent AIDS from spreadingB. Beatrice Were pays much attention to cutting a good figureC. the government of Uganda spent a lot on its citizen s‟ health careD. AIDS can sometimes be curedBThe famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audience could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent the camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”“No, Sir,” the men answered.The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.“Well, Sir,” one of the men answered, “We are on the east coast here, and the sunsets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”“But I want a sunset!”the director shouted, “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don‟t you photograph a sunrise,”she suggested, “ and then play it backwards? Then it will look like a sunset.”“That‟s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o‟clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, Sir,” they said, and give it to him. He was very pleased.They all went into the studio.“All right,”the director said, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.”The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.The birds in the file were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.60.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?A.Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset.B.Because he was angry about his crew.C.Because it was his secretary‟s suggestion.D.Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset.61.Which of the following is NOT true?A. The crew had to follow the secretary‟s advice.B. If you want to see a sunrise, the east coast is a place to go to.C. The camera crew wasn‟t able to film the scene the first day.D. The director ordered his crew to stop filming the “sunset”.62.The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because _____.A.it went well with the separation of the hero and heroine.B.when they arrived at the beach it was already in the eveningC.it was more moving than a sunriseD.the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset63. After the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands _____.A.because he was moved to tearsB.as he saw everything in the film moving backwardsC.as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imaginedD.because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and the heroineCReading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.It‟s worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one‟s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry had a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者): poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed (背叛) us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions hostile(不利的) to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know somethingabout the craft(技巧) of a poem, and they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.64.Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because _____.A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure65. The underlined word “diversion” most probably means _____.A. informationB. changeC. amusementsD. happiness66. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readersand poetry?A. Poems have become difficult to understand.B. Students are poorly educated in high school.C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.D. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.67. In the last paragraph, the writer questions ____.A. the difficulty in studying poemsB. the way poems are taught in schoolC. students‟ wrong ideas about poetryD. the techniques used in writing poemsDOn May 3On May 3, 1937, Margaret Mitchell won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel “Gone with the wind”.On May 3, 1898, Golda Meir, the fourth prime minister of the State of Israel, was born.On May 3, 1802, Washington, D.C. officially became a city.On May 2On May 2, 1903, Benjamin Spock, the American pediatrician(儿科医生) whose book on child rearing(扶养) influenced generations of parents, was born.On May 2, 1885, Harper’s Weekly featured a cartoon about the construction of the Statue of Liberty.On May 1On May 1, 1967, Singer Elvis Presley married Priscilla Beaulieu in Las Vegas.On May 1, 1907, Kate Smith, the American singer who was considered the “first lady of radio”, was born.On May 1, 1880, Harper’s Weekly featured a cartoon about the mass migration of Southern blacks to the West.On April 30On April 30, 1945, Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler committed suicide(自杀) along with his wife of one day, Eva Braun, as Russian troops approached his Berlin Bunker.On April 30, 1902, Theodore Schultz, the American economist who won a Nobel Prize for his important studies of the human factor in the workplace, was born.On April, 30, 1859, Harper’s Weekly featured a cartoon about a U.S. military expedition to Paraguay(巴拉圭).68.Arrange the following events in order of time they happened.a.

When you honked (按响) your horn, I realized I was holding up traffic, so please accept my apology. However, I do want you to know why I behaved like that.

Please, accept my apology.I remember you from the department store last week. I was so mean to you, when you were doing your job to the best of your ability. Please accept my apology.

Please, accept my apology.The above are fictitious(虚构的) incidents, and yet they express a very real truth.Perhaps when we are inconvenienced in similar cases, we should all think for a moment and understand that things may be going on in other‟s lives which have caused them to be slower, absent-minded or angry.
