shoes, moustache(胡须)and walking stick.Heintended simply to make people laugh. But the add disguises(扮相)made him loak both comic and sad.His appearance was a popular success,right form the beginning.But his early films hadn't much story.They were full of actions.The little man played fast moving games of hide-and-seek with his enemies,racing down city streets, jumping on trains,and boating down rivers.36.Which of the following is true?A Chaplin was a homeless travelerB Chaplin hardly did actions in filmsC Chaplin amused his audience by his actionsD Chaplin always did the sarme acticns in his films37.The secret of Chaplin's success is that he created a character who_A faints away on the floor,trying to be braveB behaves as if he was a successful important richmanC straightens his coat or swings his walking stick in the airD hides behind a fat lady or climbs under a table to escape from his enemies38.The word"tramp"in line1.paragraph3may meana"_".A person who walks farB person who walks heavilyC disabled person who is unluckyD homeless person who moves about39.With the help ofhis odd appearance,Chaplin intended to loak_A richB fumyC successfulD impressive40Chaplin's filns were full of the folloving actions EXCEPT_.A boating down riversB racing down city streetsC jumping ontrainsD driving bicyclesPassage2A cat burglar invaded the bedroom of the President of the United State,who confrented him andhelped him escape.The event occurred in the early moming hours in one of the first days of presidency ofCalvin Coolidge,late in August,1923He and his family were living at the Willard Hotel in Washington thatthey had occupied during his vice presidency.Coolidge awoke to see a burglar search his clothes Fanally he got a wallet and a watch.When he wasremoving the watch chain,Coolidge spoke:"I wish you couldn't take that."The thief,at his voice,said:"why?"I don't mean the watch and chain,only the chamn.Take it near the window and read what isengraved(雕刻)on the badk of it,"the President said.The burglar read"Presented to Calvin Coolidge,Speaker of the House,by the Massachusetts General Court."Are you President Coolidge?"he asked.

If you do, you must be an optimist（乐观主义者）. a leader. an acive person who enjoys life. people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quict. shy. and you would rather follow than lead You tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者) . At least. this is what psychologists tell us. and they should know. because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us. among other facts. that we do not choose our favourite clour as we growup-we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our moods------there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes mostpeople feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River. Near London. used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better. harder. and have fewcr accidents when their machines arc painted orange rather than black or grey.36. The sentence "You would rather follow than lead" in paragraph l means that you would .A. like to lead followersB. be afraid of following othersC. be a member rather than a leaderD. like to be a leader rather than a follower37. If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer .A. red to yellowB. blue to orangeC. blue to yellowD. red to grey38. Which of the following statements is true?A. People's preference of one colour to another is instinct.B. People's preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.C. Factory workers meet fewer accidents when their machines are painted grey.D. More people happen to love brown because they saw it when they were born.39. Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River to others because of itsA. shapeB. colourC. structureD. materials40. The main idea of the passage is that_ .A. colours affect people's moodB. colours affect people's characterC. bright colours make people more activeD. colours preference shows people's couragePassage 2Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed. she lists farming's many challenges: "You don't often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating." she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"Oliver Robinson. 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land. "I'm sure Dan hoped I'd stay," he said. "I guess it's a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn't appeal. For young ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world." For Robinson. farming doesn't offer much in terms of money or lifestyle. Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: "providing for a vital human need . while working outdoors with nature."Farming is a big political issue in the UK. "Buy British" campaigns encourage consumers not a buy cheaper imported foods. The 2001 "foot and mouth crisis" closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming. JamieOliver's 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets. hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are becoming popular.41 . Charlotte Hollins is talking about her feeling of a battle between "A. the poor and the richB. farmers and city developersC. young people and their parentsD. small markets and supermarkets42. In the eyes of Charlotte Hollins. makes fewer people work on farms.A. rich life of farmersB. a low rate of suicideC. hard life on the farmsD. high prices of farm products43. According to the passage, more and more young people leave their fathers' land because farming cannot offer .A. a hard worldB. a vital human needC. a nice and straightforward lifeD. enough money and honourable life44. "Buy British" campaigns____A. bring benefit to farmersB. stopped meat exportC. closed thousands of farmsD. ask children to eat British foods45. According to the passage, Farmers ' Markets are becoming popular because .A. thousands of farms are closedB. farmers are the owners of the marketsC. more people are concerned about healthy foodD. Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaigns urge people to "Buy BritisW'Passage 3No one knows exactly how many disabled people (残疾人) there arc in the word. but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom. about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something hat happens to other people: as we get older. many of us will become less mobile. hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on. the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through. so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability. not their disability, which counts.46. The first paragraph tells us that .A. the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB. there are less than 450 million disabled people in the worldC. there are more than 450 million disabled people in the worldD. the number of disabled people in India is equal to the total population of Canada47. The key word in paragraph 4 is _A. disabilityB. ignoranceC. prejudiceD. barriers48. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. There are about 10 percent disabled people in the UK_B. There still exists prejudice against the disabled because of ignorance.C. Even the able-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.D. The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.49. The clause "which counts " in the last paragraph means that _ .A. ability is the most importantB. disability is consideredC. disability is includedD. barrier is the most important50. It can be concluded from the passage that _A. we should try our best to prevent disablementB. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downD. the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabledPassage 4It is really a surprise that after hundreds of years, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. It is claimed that examinations test what you know, but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability.As anxiety-makers. examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. No one can show his best in worry, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system however, does anything but that. What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus (教学大纲) . so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Furthermore. teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students' examinations. Consequently, they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike. They most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained..The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous (匿名的) examiners. They certainly make mistakes. because they have to mark mountains of scripts (答卷) in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.51. The main idea of this passage is that examinations are .A. anxiety-makersB. harmful to educationC. reliable and efficientD. good measures of memory52. It is clear that the author examinations.A. argues forB. argues againstC. is interested inD. is indifferent to53. The fate of students is decided by _ according to the passage.A. examinationB. educationC. teachingD. learning54. According to the author, the most importance of a good education is to .A. encourage students to read widelyB..teach students how to tackle examsC. train students to think on their ownD. encourage students to seek more knowledge55. Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Examinations can make students anxious.B. The examiners might make mistakes in marking.C. Teachers ' work is .judged based on the results of examinations.D. Tools better than examinations to test students' ability have been found.Part III Cloze (10%)When I come across a good article in reading newspapers. I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the 56 0n the opposite side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 57 in good health. or a report about 58 to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely t0 59 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 60 the title. Therefore. I should prepare 61 I start to cut. Or it will be halfway done when I find out the 62 result.63 two things are to be done at the same time. You can only take up one of them,the other has to wait or be 64 _ But you know the future is unpredictable----the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 65 . Thus you are caught in a 66 position and feel sad. How should the nice chances and brilliant ideas gather around all at once? What are you going to do when you 67 two things at the same time? It may happen that you life 68 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.In fact that is what 69 is like. We are often . 70 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable 71 a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only 72 we get into another. The 73 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a dividcd mind. A famous philosopher 74 said "When one door shuts, another opens in life." So a casual choice may not be a 75 0ne.56.A. newspaper B. article C. text D. title57.A. get B. bring C. lead D. keep58.A. how B. when C. why D. what59.A. do B. reduce C. prevent D. cause60.A. on B. in C. off D. for61.A. because B. since C. after D. before62.A. satisfying B. regretful C. pleasant D. impossible63.A.

2013年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试【广东卷】I 语言知识及应用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1~15各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a 1 in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 ，experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 3 . However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three.Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 .He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's.1.

He saw a lot of people waiting in the station. Some were standing in line, and others were walking around. There was a group of schoolgirls. Their teacher was trying to keep them in line. Tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit.He walked into the station café(咖啡馆). He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror on the wall. Just then, Mike, one of Tom’s workmates came in and sat with Tom.“What time is your bus?” asked Mike.“There’s plenty of time yet,” answered Tom.“Well, I’ll get you some more tea then,” said Mike.They talked while drinking.

The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many as 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.Treating disease by taking baths has been popular for centuries. Modern medical baths first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700s bathing had also become popular in the United States.For many years frequent bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided, and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!By the 1700s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.In the United Sates ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th century, Many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bath every thirty days! That was a law!Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health. Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bathe once a day at least. They consider a daily bath necessary to good health.41.

From the passage, we can infer that .A. bathing has become easier and cheaperB. everybody in American takes a daily bathC. a bath a day keeps the doctor away foreverD. bathing helps to reduce the chance of diseasesPassage 3Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive task, yet any carelessness on an applicant’s part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail.

Write carefully and neatly.――Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed.――Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role.――Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position.――Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally ,adda few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.46. The first sentence of the passage means that .A. you may have to fill in a long application formB. the filling-in of an application form takes much timeC. any slight error in the tiring filling-in of the forms should be avoidedD. application forms are usually difficult to read and require good skills to fill in47.

She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door-“a master key” perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob(门把)on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.51.

广东专插本英语历年英语作文真题My Big Sister and the Zhaunkou ExamHi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 8 years old. I'm in 3rd grade at Sunshine Elementary School in Guangzhou. I love playing basketball, reading comic books, and eating my mom's delicious dumplings. But today I want to tell you about my big sister Meimei and how she studied really hard for the zhaunkou exam last year.Meimei is 22 years old and just finished her three-year program at Guangdong Technical College. The zhaunkou is a special exam that lets students from 3-year career colleges get admission into the last 2 years of a 4-year university bachelor's degree program. It's a big deal because a bachelor's degree opens up way more job opportunities. But the zhaunkou exam is super hard, especially the English part.For months, Meimei was staying up late every night, her desk piled high with textbooks, practice test papers, and tons of xiaohuoban (little yellow practice books). She made these crazy long vocabulary lists of all the big English words she needed to know. Our whole family would quiz her on the words at dinner -it was like a weird new tradition! Meimei also wrote practice essay after practice essay for the dreaded English writing section.One time, I snuck a peek at one of her practice essays. The topic was "If you could change one thing about your hometown, what would it be?" Meimei wrote all about how she would add more bike lanes and parks in Guangzhou to make it greener and more pedestrian-friendly. Her essay was so long and had such big vocabulary words - I could barely understand it! When I asked her what "urbanization" and "sustainable" meant, she just ruffled my hair and told me I'd learn when I was older.In the weeks before the big test day, Meimei was extremely stressed out. She would pace around the apartment mumbling English phrases under her breath. Sometimes she would randomly shout out "Arghhh, I don't know the past participle of that verb!" Mom, Dad and I didn't have a clue what she was talking about, but we made sure to stay out of her way.Finally, test day arrived. Meimei double and triple checked that she had enough pencils, her ID card, a watch, and a small snack packed in her bag. We all gave her a big hug before she headed out the door. Dad joked, "Don't worry, as long as you didn't forget how to say 'hello' in English, you'll be fine!" Meimei just rolled her eyes at him.After what felt like an eternity, Meimei finally came home later that evening. She looked exhausted but had a little smile on her face. "How was it?!" we all asked. She said the listening section was pretty tough, but she felt okay about the reading comprehension passages. The essay ended up being about some environmental issue, which was perfect since she had practiced writing so many essays about things like air pollution andeco-tourism.Then a few weeks later, Meimei got her test results in the mail. She had passed We були собі такий радий для неї! She officially got admitted into the final 2 years of the English major program at the big university downtown. No more would she have to stay up until midnight cramming English words and grammar rules!After all her hard work, Meimei totally deserved to take it easy for a while. Although I still sometimes hear her randomly shouting out "What's the past perfect continuous tense??" when she's cooking or cleaning. Old habits die hard I guess!Anyways, that's the story of how my amazing big sis Meimei conquered the super difficult zhaunkou English exam. I'm so proud of her determination and I know she's going to become an excellent English teacher someday. As for me, I'm just startingto learn simple English words like "apple" and "baseball" in school. Mastering all those crazy grammar things still seems lightyears away! But Meimei's example taught me that with enough hard work and perseverance, nothing is impossible. Well, I better get going now - I hear Mom calling us in for dumplings!。

If a long reading assignment（布置的作业）is given, teachers expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams). The ideal（完美的）student is considered to be one who is motivated（目的明确的）to learn for the sake（原故）of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades（分数）. Grade-conscious （清醒的）students may be frustrated（受挫）with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade（分等级）every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with brief (short) written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned.When research is assigned, the professor in the United States expects the students to take the initiative （积极性）and complete the assignment with less guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books,magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a univesity library works,they expect students, particularly graduate students, to be able to use all the reference sources（资料）in the library.Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students not be over dependent on them.In the United States, professorshave other duties be sides teaching. Often they are responsible for management within their department. In addition（此外）, they may be required to publish articles and books. Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach（接近）a professor during office hours or make an appointment（约会）.36．“Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.”This means“____.”A．teachers want students to fail examsB．teachers care only about exam gradesC．teachers believe that passing exams is not the only purpose of a courseD．teachers design courses for lectures only37．Professors in the United States usually expectA．the students to know all the answersB．the students to take the initiative and be independentC．the students never to ask for their adviceD．the students to work together38．The main idea of this Passage is that ____.A．students should learn independentlyB．students should learn under close guidance of their professorsC．students should learn how to work togetherD．students should not learn mainly for high grades39．If a student has a problem with classroom work, he or she should ____.A．make an appointment with the professor a week beforeB．approach a professor after classC．turn to the professor for help in his officeD．go to the professor's home40．Who is considered to be a good student?A．One who aims at getting good scores.B．One who is planning to get a degree.C．One who can memorize（记忆）knowledge.D．One who has the motivation to learn.Passage2I began working in journalism(新闻工作)when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SA TURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“None.”“ Where did you go?”“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“ What did you do?”“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“ You just stood there?”“ Didn’t sell a single one.”“ My God, Russell!”Uncle Alle n put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insiste d that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workm an’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, suc h a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.41. Why did the boy start his job young?A.

Vice-premier，decided that more people should study abmad，and the policy started a20-year study-abroad feverIn Chinese cities it is difficuh to find a young person who has not heard of TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language)or GRE(Gladuate Recmd Examination)，the primary tests required to attend graduate school in the Uniled States.China sent its first group of students to study in the United States and Europe back in1872.That ended during World War II.During the1950’s,the major destination for students was the former Soviet Union.Many current Chinese leaders were students in Soviet colleges.But the’cutural revolution(1966-76)”dealt a blow to the enthusiasm.Any contacts with foreigners were strictly banned(禁止)“To some extent,the difficulty of a shortage of talented people has been eased,”she said,“thanks to the study-abroad policy which has in turn promoted Chinese had studied in the United States,accounting for56 percent of the students who went overseas to study.”“Facts have proved that Deng’s decision was correct.”Wei said.Another official said that more and more students have returned to China after completing their studies abroad.“China’s economic miracle is providing then with opportunities to develop their talent.”He said,adding that their social status,working and living conditions have been improving.46.In Paragraph2,the“green light”refers to.A.the

kniver and more recently,rubbler and plastic and that was where we stuck,in surgical instrumengt terms,for many years.In the1960s a new tool was developed,one which was,first of all,to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry,but which was also,in time,to change greatly the art and science of surgery.The tool is the laser（激光）and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world.As we all know,light is hot,any source of light---from the sun itself down to a simple match burning---will give warmth.But light is usually spread out over a wide area.The light in a laser beam(激光束),however,is concentrated(密集).This means that a light with no more power that that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized(针尖大小的)beam.Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells.It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye,simply by passing a laser beam right through the eye-ball.No knives,no stitches(缝针),no unwanted damage---a true surgical wonder.Operations which once make patients tired and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling calm and comfortable.So much more difficult operations can now be tried.The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has make it clear that the future is likely to be very excitng.Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective.Altogether,tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically.51.The instruments of surgical operations up until1960s can be described as.A.traditionalplicatedC.magicalD.revolutionary52.What changes have taken place since the appearance of laser in the1960s?A.Industrial revolution has made medical help available for industrial workers.B.Ther research in study of art went through a complete revolution.C.Surgery benefits greatly from the industrial revolution.D.The methods in surgery for patients changed greatly.53.The laser beam is very strong because.A.it is artificially lightedB.it gives off heat in all directionsC.it contains a concentrated beam of the lightD.its temperature increases due to the heat of the sun54.By applying the laser beam,surgeons can perform operations which.A.may make their patients suffer with negative effectsB.may take their patients a long time to recoverC.do little harm to their patientsD.can only treat eye diseases55.The rapid development of laser techniques indicates that.A.in future we also can cure cancersB.surgery is likely to be improved considerablyC.in future all the diseases can certainly be curedD.operations will be performed more complicatedly in futurePart III Cloze(10%)People from different cultures sometimes do things that
