"I just said that for fun.^ Hearing this, Beethoven knocked at the door, and it opened. In the dim light of a candle a young girl was sitting before a piano and a young man was making shoes by a table. "Pardon me," said Beethoven, “but I heard the music. You wish to hear..： He paused? To his surprise, he found the girl was blind. "Excuse me, then you play by ear? But where did you hear the music?" “I used to hear a woman practicing pieces in the house opposite? Her windows were open and I walked outside to listen to her?" Beethoven said no more. He sat down before the piano. The moon shone brightly in through the window. He looked up thoughtfully to the sky and stars. He said to himself, “I will make up a sonata to the moonlight!^ And then his hands dropped on lhe keys and began to play. Listening silently, the young man put aside his work, the girl, with her head bent slightly forward and her hands pressed tightly over her breast, sat silently near the piano, lost in thought...

3.Passage Three Of all the animals in the animal kingdom, which one （aside from man） is the cleverest? There arc

several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals? In one test some scientists set three identical cans on a table?

While an animal watches, he puts food under one of the cans? Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings

it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No smelling is allowed; the animal must go to the conect can or it

fails? This is called a dclaycd-rcsponsc test. The idea is to find out how long an animafs memory can keep the

infbnnation. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal an hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day

later. They discovered that chimpanzees （黑猩狎）and elephants have the best memory, and are able to remember the

con-ect can for at least twenty hours? No other animal is close? Dogs come next, but they only remember for nine hours ? To settle the matter, the scientisfs designed a huge maze （lllj径，迷宫）and ran the chimpanzees and elephants through it. The maze was very difficult, with many blind paths and dead ends? It took the chimpanzees ten minutes to

find their way out. The elephants needed a half hour. Even allowing for the elephants slower rate of speed, the lest shows

that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals. From this and other tests, the scientists drew the following conclusion: an

animafs intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion to （与成比例）the size of its body. The elephant's

brain weighs ten

pounds. But this is only l/600lh of its 6,000-pound body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimpanzee has four times as much brain as the elephant, thus more brain for less body. （10 分）

4.Passage Four The existing oil resources will not last very long. This means that all vehicles such as cars, trains, buses, planes and ships that need oil to work will not be able to run. So it will be necessary to develop a new system of transport which uses a fuel other than oil. Electric vehicles are one possibilit y. In Britain, most families have at least one car and this car is used everyday. It could be that only one person in the family drives the car to work or for shopping. The number of cars on the road which are almost empty perhaps helps to explain why the oil is used up so quickly. The family car is a veiy useful form of transport but it is also a great waster of energy, especially if it is compared with buses or trains which use less petrol per person than a car; this also wastes fuel. A car traveling at 8（） kilometers an hour uses only half as much petrol as a car running at 120 kilometers an hour. Clearly, it would be better if there were fewer cars on the road and more speed limits so that the oil which is left will last as long as possible. About 25% of Britain's total consumption （扌肖耒E） of energy is domestic - it is used only in the home? Just over 20% is used for transport? Most of the energy is used in industry .It is difficult to suggest any possible energy conservation in industry because many of the suggestions would mean that some people would lose their jobs? It is important that industry produces the same amount of products using the same amount of workers? Obviously, conservation is not going to be the answer to the energy crisis.

7.Passage Two

Today people all over the world are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of natural substance, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.

The whole industrial process, which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily life, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the ecological balance? Many of those waste products can be disposed of sensibly, but when more new goods are produced, there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of the larger and more complex problem - the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods? Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods make farmers grow more on their land to feed population. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used? Chemical mixture cannot restore the balance?

Whatever its underlying causes, there is no doubt that much of the pollution problem could be controlled if only everyone would make more effort. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste? Food comes wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused? This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but to throw away much of what we do buy. So we can solve pollution problems by cutting out excess consumption, unnecessary buy and so on. （10 分）

9.Passage Four

I came to live here where I am now between Wounded Knee Creek and Grass Creek. Other Indians followed, and we make these little gray houses of wood that you see, and they are square. It is a bad way to live, for there can be no power in a square.

You have noticed that everything an Indian docs is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tends to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to

us from the holy hoop （圣环）of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken, the people flourished? The flowering tree was the living center of the hoop, and the circle of the four quarters nourished it. The east gave peace and light, the south gave wannth, the west gave rain, and the north with its cold and mighty wind gave strength and endurance ? This knowledge came to us from the outer world with our religion. Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle? The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its

greatest power, blows wildly. Birds make their nests in circle, for theirs is the same religion as OUTS. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves? Our tepees （圆顶帐篷）were like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation^ hoop, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant lor us to hatch （生多=）our childrc n.

But the Wasichus （Indian word for "white people、'）have put us in these square boxes? Our power is gone and wc arc dying, for the power is not in us any more?

10.Passage Five

All of us rely on what we see. We say to ourselves, "I know, I was there; I saw it happen" and that seems to settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the evidence of our eyes?

Take competitive sports. Fans who see the same game will not agree with each other and will disagree with the referee. "He was out of bounds when he caught the pass,” says one fan. Says another, "You're crazy. I saw it with my own eyes?He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind." The referee rules that the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not convinced-because they were there!

It's the same story in the courtroom. Trial procedure depends on witnesses giving sworn testimony （ilE词）? But just how reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study, ten thousand witnesses were asked to describe the man they saw commit a crime? The study reveals that, on the average, the witnesses overestimated the man's height by five inches, his age by eight years, and gave the wrong hair color in 83 percent of the cases? These witnesses didn't play tricks on them!

What can wc do to keep error to minimum? First of all, don't let your emotions interfere with your vision. Don't see something because you want to see it. Secondly, try to stay rclaxcd? If you arc tense, you arc liable to see red when the color is blue? And finally, it helps to make notes of what you see. Dorf t rely on your memory alone?

12.Passage Two Data from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) apparently prove the theory that the searing 900-degree Fahrenheit surface temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket of carbon dioxide? Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the fbnn of sunlight easily passes through a planet's atmosphere, wannsils surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then help in by the atmosphere? The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus' atmosphere fiom top to bottom, enabling NASA's scientists to establish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planet's atmosphere and on is surface? Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles (变化曲线)，and radiative heating predicted Venus9 surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has a relatively thin atmosphere like Earth's，but Venus' atmosphere consists of more than ninety percent carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus' surface temperature is much higher than Earth's. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possible adverse

(不利于)effects on Earth's agriculture and sea levels that could result from the long-term use of fossil fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. (10 分)

13.Passage Three It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which arc brought into the present by mcmory. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only "remembering^ things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves? Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed (something suspicious in the grain pile? Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat. Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use .It is interesting to compare the memory- storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being? The instant-access (艮卩H寸调用) memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 "words" ready for instant use. An averageU? S.teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has storeD.Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.
