Passage One
Mr. Smith was a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with life. He did not sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time. Finally, after several sleepless nights, he decided to ask his doctor. The doctor advises a change of the place where he lives. “Go abroad,”he said. “But I’m not good at foreign language,”said Mr. Smith. “It doesn’t matter, said the doctor. “It won’t hurt you to talk a little less. Go on a voyage. Take plenty of exercise. Try to become thinner. Avoid rich food.”
Mr. Smith went to Switzerland. He did not know French or German, and had to communicate through gestures. He attended a physical training course. The teacher made him bend his knees, wave his arms, and shake his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs one after another. After a time his muscles grew hard and firm. He forgot the problems in his business and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice small trees and small birds.

Passage Two
Cancer is among the top killer disease in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it out. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do something about them.
Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure (休闲) in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?
All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations (失意) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.
If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath (愤怒)”is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religions.
46.Which from the following statements is true?
A.Freedom from responsibilities helps relieve stress.
B.Stress is the direct cause of cancer.
C.Cancer is the number one killer in our society today.
D.The causes of stress are worthy of serious study.
47.According to the passage, which of the following types of people is more likely to suffer from stress?
A. People who have more responsibilities than they can handle.
B. People who have cancer.
C.People who like to quarrel with others.
D.People whose living standard is low.
48.Judging from the context, the word ―row‖ in the third paragraph most probably means _________.
A. a noisy quarrel
B. a very loud noise
C. a neat line of things side by side
D. a journey in a boat.
49.Which of the following is not mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?
A. Changing our job.
B. Reading the bible.
C.Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.
D.Speaking out about our frustrations
50.What does ―Let not the sun go down upon your wrath‖ probably mean?
A. Don’t watch the sun set while you are angry.
B.Don’t get angry easily about little thing.
C.Don’t let your anger last long.
D.Don’t get angry while the sun is going down.
Passage Three

On the way to London, a storm arose, the ship was wrecked (失事)，and we barely escaped with our lives.

He took a fancy to me, and offered me a chance to with him on his voyages, which I gladly accepted.
A great storm came up, and the ship was tossed ( 被颠簸) about for many days, until we did not know where we were. Suddenly we struck a bank of sand, and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces. So we launched (使…下水) a boat. After we had been driven four or five miles, a mountainous wave struck us so hard that it overturned the boat at once. Though I swam well but the waves were so strong that I was dashed (被猛撞) against a rock with such force that it left me senseless.

In the eighteenth century young ladies in Italy were taught reading, writing, music and arithmetic. But their knowledge of history and geography was very poor.
Once the French ambassador in Rome was giving a ball to which many important people were invited. The Italian Minister of foreign Affairs came very late. A young lady, who was well acquainted with him, saw him enter the ball-room and asked why he was so late.

Passage Two
The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal, the younger one of the Portuguese king and an English princess.
Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century. As a boy he became devoted to the sea. And he decided himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them. In 1416, when he was twenty-two, Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invented everyone who could help him –Jewish astronomers（天文学家）, Italian and Spanish sailors, and Arab mathematicians and map makers who knew how to use the crude（粗糙的）compass（罗盘）of the day and could improve it.
Henry’s goal was to design and equip vessels（船）that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to keep close to the shore. The caravel, which he helped design, carried more sails and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made, yet was tough enough to stand up against gales at sea. He also developed the carrack, which was a slower ship, but one that was capable of carrying more cargo（货物）.
The world owes credit to Prince Henry for the development of craft that made oceanic exploration possible. He lives in history as Henry the Navigator.
46. Henry the Navigator was a member of the royal family of _________.
A. England
B. Spain
C. Italy
D. Portugal

A. members of the royal family
B. astronomers, sailors and map makers
C. shipbuilders
D. All of the above
49. Prince Henry’s goal was to design vessels that could _______.
A.make long deep-sea voyages
B.travel faster than those in use at that time
C.explore the coastline of Portugal
D.carry larger crews and more cargo than existing ones

A. The First Modern Sailing Vessels
B. The Mariner Prince.
C. Prince Henry’s Role in the History of Shipbuilding.
D. The First School for Sailors.
Passage Three
I worked as a manager for a number of years. I liked my job, and was doing well there, but
our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something I’d always wanted to do – become a freelance (自由撰稿人) writer. Changing professions (职业) has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.
The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible (灵活的) schedule. I work about as much as I did before – between 45 and 50 hours a week – but my schedule is much less rigid than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day, with a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I worked when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 A.M., then sleep until noon.
I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me.
I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and felt much better. I’ve also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home.
Of course, not all the changes have been that easy. For example, I don’t feel as secure financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I don’t have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure there’s enough money until the next arrives.
All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll never want to have a ―regular‖ job. But for now, at least, it suits me.
51. Why did the author decide to become a freelance writer?
A. He had always liked writing.
B. He was dissatisfied with his company.
C. He never liked his job as a manager.
D. He wanted to change his lifestyle.
52. What is the main difference the job change brought to the author?
A. He works fewer hours a week.
B. He does not have to work as he likes.
C. He can change his schedule as he likes.
D. He can work at night and sleep late.
53. Why does he do his own cooking now?
A. He wants to lose weight.
B. He has got lots of free time on his hands.
C. He no longer feels tired after work.
D. He wants to eat more healthfully.
54. What is his chief problem now?
A. He can’t count on his paycheck to arrive on time.
B. He has no regular work to do.
C. He has to find a publisher for his books.
D. He has to worry about money.
55. At the end of the passage, the author indicates that ________.
A. he is going to find a regular job
B. he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near future

III. Read the following passages and do the questions below: (30%)
Passage One
Some peope have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simple direct answer: ―I put out fire‖ or ―I fix sick people‖ or ―I teach primary school‖. As a theoretical （理论的）physicist, I never had this luck. Society has come to expect many things from the physicists. It used to be that we only had to discover the baicc laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next Silicon Valleu (硅谷). With these expectations we were fairly comfortable – and what makes it hard for us to tell our kids what we’re up to – is that in this century we have become, though unwillingly, gurus on questions such as ―what is the nature of Reality (现实)？”
We now deal with a whole new class of problems. We ask how the world began and what is the nature of matter. The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person.
So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they leave a familiar world and enter a place where things act in strange ways that are impossible for ordinary people to understand.
41. According to the passage, in a way physicists are ______.
A. intelligent
B. comfortable
C. strnage
D. unlucky
42. Judging from the context, the word ― gurus ‖in the first paragraph most probably means a person
______.
A. who acts as a teacher and answers big questions
B. who gives wrong answers to real questions
C. who does not have answers to real big problems
D. who is eager to supply answers to big problems
43. Which of the following is true according to what the author says about physicists?
A. Physicists do not like their jobs.
B. Physicists live in two different worlds.
C. Physicists are coming up with new answers to old questions.
D. Physicists don’t have to tell people what they are doing.
44. Which of the following statements is true of theoretical physicists?
A. They only have to answer the basic questions about the world.
B. They have contributed to the new industry in Silicon Valley.
C. They have been disappointed to the expectations of many people.
D. They have found it hard to make friends with ordinary people.
45. Which of the following is true about the job of today’s physicists?
A. It is getting easier and easiere with the help of modern technology..
B. It is not related to any practical use.
C. It can’t be done by a person with average intelligence.
D. It is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Passage Two
Do you want a car? Many people want to get rid of their cars, and they are doing just that. Police say that about 110 cars are abandoned (丢弃) every night in New York City.
Why do people leave their car to be towed away by the police? Maybe the car just doesn’t run any more. It would have to be towed to the junk dealer. Besides the cost of towing, the car owners would have to find a way to get home from the junk yard. This might cost money, too. So the license plates are removed, and the car is abandoned.
How can the police stop people from filling the streets with abandoned cars? Faced with about 21,000 abandoned cars a year, the Chicago police made a plan. They checked engine registration numbers and were able to find the owners of the cars. Then the owners were charged for the towing. So far, the plan has turned the problem into a profit. The city has collected almost a million dollars from the towing, and sale of abandoned cars.
Even if the city police can stop people from abandoned cars, we still must face the problem of cars that wear out. At present, there are about 40 million cars in junk yards across the country, and that number keeps going up.
How can the U. S. get rid of its large and growing car junk yards? A U.S. Senator from Illinois said that the government should use the tax collected on new cars to pay for the “burial”of old cars.
If you are thinking of looking for and fixing up an abandoned car, forget it! You have to have a bill of sale or title from the owner before you can get new license plates.
46. The author’s purpose is _______ .
A. to call for a tax on new cars
B. to praise the Chicago police
C. to tell about the problem of abandoned and worn-out cars
D. to tell you how to get a car
47. From the information in the article, you could not say that ______ .
A. abandoned cars are nuisance
B. worn-out cars are piling up in junk yards
C. Chicago police found a solution to abandoned cars
D. If you want a car, find one that’s been abandoned
48. If one has to drive a car legally, one has to ________ .
A. have a license plate
B. pay for the towing of the car
C. get rid of his old car properly
D. pay for the burial of his old car
49. In this selection, the word “tow”probably means _______ .
A. sell
B. gain
C. drag
D. collect
50. A word opposite in meaning to “profit”is _____________ .
A) expense B) loss C) payment D) increase
Passage Three
Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.
Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat time differently. In the Western world, particularly in the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one cannot escape. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road or a ribbon stretching into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections, which are to be kept separate—―one thing at a time‖. Thus an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.
Americans look ahead and are concerned almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of the South Asians’, which may involve centuries. Someone has said of the South Asian idea of time: ―Time is like a museum with endless halls and rooms. The Gods is in charge of the museum, and only. He knows all that is in it.‖Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.
51. This passage is mainly about ______.
A.the American idea of time
B.the South Asian idea of time
C.the importance of keeping appointments
D.the communication between different culture
52. According to this passage, an announcement made during the day in a factory must be very important
because ______.
A.it interrupts the work of all employees
B.it is made by the manager
C.it makes everyone lose his job
D.it communicates in many ways
53. In the United States, a phone call made after 11:00 p.m. is considered ______ , in the view of the
writer.
A.more important than one made during the day
B.impolite since it disturbs the receiver’s sleep
C.to be a threat to the receiver’s life
D.even more urgent than one made early in the morning
54. The writer concludes that people of different countries will understand each other better if ______.
A.they know how to communicate with each other
B.they are concerned with the future
C.they learn the way time communicates
D.they bear in mind that different cultures treat time differently
55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The American idea of the future is quite different from that of the South Asian’.
B.The South Asian regards time as something controlled by God.
C.Americans are not concerned with the idea of the future which is limited.
D.The South Asian idea of the future may go beyond one’s lifetime.

My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12.” Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, madam,”he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .” The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?” “Yes,”she answered. “The beach was beautiful.

Online HomeWork_U1B3 I. Reading Comprehension Section A Fast Reading Back in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. Just to keep food on the table for the family members, the father worked almost eighteen hours a day. Two of Albrecht Durer the Elder’s children, Albrecht and Albert, wanted to pursue talent for art, but they knew that their father would never be financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the academy. After many discussions, the two boys decided to toss a coin. The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother while he attended the academy. Then, when that brother who won the coin toss completed his studies, he would support the other brother at the academy, either with the sales of his artwork or, if necessary, also by laboring in the mines. They tossed a coin after coming back from church on a Sunday morning. Albrecht Durer won the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous mines and financed his brother, whose work at the academy was an almost immediate sensation. Albrecht’s etchings (版画), woodcuts (木刻画) and oils were far better than those of most of his professors, and by the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn considerable fees for his commissioned works. When Albrecht Durer returned to his village, the family held a big dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s homecoming. After the meal, Albrecht rose to drink a toast to his beloved brother for the sacrifice that had enabled Albrecht to fulfill his ambition. He said, “Albert, now it is your turn to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you.” Albert rose and glanced down the long table at the faces he loved, and said softly, “No, brother. Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis (关节炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less make delicate lines on canvas (画布) with a brush.” By now, Albrecht Durer’s hundreds of masterful portraits, sketches and woodcuts hang in every great museum in the world, but most people are familiar with only one of Albrecht Durer’s works. More than merely being familiar with it, you very well may have a reproduction hanging in your home or office. To pay homage to Albert, Albrecht Durer drew his brother’s hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his drawing “Hands,” but the entire world immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and named it “The Praying Hands.” Statements based on the passage: T 1. The father of Durer family could not afford any child’s study at the academy. F 2. Albrecht and Albert had to toss a coin to decide who should go to the academy, because one of them had to stay at home and help their father. F 3. Before deciding to toss a coin, Albrecht and Albert had many discussions with their father. T 4. Albrecht achieved great success at the academy, and his works were even better than most of his professors’. F 5. Albrecht decided to support Albert’s study at the academy with the sales of his artwork and by laboring in the mines. F 6. Albert said it was too late for him to go to the academy because he was no longer interested in art after working in the mines for many years. F 7. Although Albrecht had many masterful portraits, only one of them has received popular recognition. T 8. Among Albrecht’s works, “Hands” is the one which is reproduced most. T 9. Albrecht created “Hands” in order to show respect and honor for his brother Albert. F 10. People renamed Albrecht’s drawing “The Praying Hands” because they just wanted to pay homage to his great achievement. Section B Passage Reading Passage 1 Valentine’s Day probably has its origin in the ancient Roman celebration called Lupercalia(牧神节). It was celebrated on February 15. In the Roman calendar February was in the spring. The celebration honored the gods Lupercus and Faunus as well as the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. As part of the ceremony the priests paired up young men and women. The girls’ names were placed in a box and each boy drew a girl’s name. The couple was paired then until the next Lupercalia. In 260 AD the emperor Claudius II, called Claudius the Cruel, decided that young soldiers would only be distracted by marriage and so ordered that young men may not marry. Valentinus (Valentine), a Christian priest, defied the emperor and got married in secret. He was caught and executed on February 14, the eve of Lupercalia. His name became associated with young love forever after. In 496, Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor him as Saint Valentine and it has been St. Valentine’s Day ever since. In the Middle Ages some of the customs of the Lupercalia still persisted in spite of the attempts of the Church to put an end to these non-Christian customs and Christianize the holiday. Both men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear the names on their sleeves for a week. Today we still sometimes “wear our hearts on our sleeves” when we cannot conceal our feelings. In the 1600s, it became common to give flowers, particularly the rose, as a sign of love as the “language of flowers”. This came to Europe from Turkey. The color and placement of the rose held a special significance--a red rose, for example, meant beauty. Flowers have been part of Valentine’s Day ever since. D 11. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. The custom of Valentine’s Day. B. A story about how Valentinus defied the emperor. C. The relationship between marriage and religion. D. The origin of Valentine’s Day. B 12. Young soldiers were not allowed to marry because the emperor was afraid that ______. A. they would associate with St. Valentine B. they wouldn’t concentrate on their job C. they would defy the emperor’s order D. they were too young to marry
