It was a half-mile walk from our small house to the beach road, where the 36 would be waiting for us.

But that morning Janet was much worse. She couldn‘t make 37 walk. And I couldn‘t carry her. The path to the beach was steep and narrow and 38 at the water‘s edge.

I was a stranger far from home. I didn‘t know 39 to turn for help. But I needed it badly. I hurried down to the beach and I found help. Four fishermen were about to go out for their morning 40 . I told them about my sick little sister. Could they help me get her down the 41 ? I hardly got the words out of my mouth 42 they dragged their boat back onto the sand. They climbed the hill with me. One looked at Janet and they 43 their heads. They talked softly to one another. ―44 sick to sit in a chair,‖ one said.

―Better carry her 45 in bed,‖ said another.

An iron cot（儿童床）46 along the cliff! I was frightened. How could they do it?

47 the men told me not to worry. ―Truly easy, truly 48 ‖ they said.

They tied a rope to each leg of the cot. Each of them threw a rope 49 his shoulder and held the end in one hand. I understood what they meant to do. 50 they carried the cot down the path, they would use the ropes to keep the cot 51 . But what if one of the men slipped and lost his balance? What would happen to him –to the others-to 52 ? The men just sm iled at my alarm. ―That 53 will make us even more careful.‖ They said.

The men went down the path. Every 54 was a careful one. Always the cot was level, with never a bump. When they reached the beach road, they quietly lifted Janet into the taxi. 55 , they stretched her out on the back seat .

We made the morning train for Tokyo. And there an ambulance was waiting to take Janet to the hospital. The doctor told me that I had got my little girl there just in time. Janet would be all right soon.

A

You may have heard the saying, ―One picture is worth 1,000 words.‖ Many photographers believe this is true. They use photographs to tell different groups of people in our country what is happening to other groups.

Photography has grown more and more popular as a hobby in recent years. But photography has also become more important to national communication.

Before television, photos were the best way for people in one part of the country to learn about the troubles of another part.

During this country‘s hard times,in the 1930s, two photographers, Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans, used

Photographs to record the lives of poor people in rural America. Those who saw the photos could see the sadness in the people‘s faces. The pictures showed the struggles many people were having. People felt great sympathy for each other when they saw these photos.

Dickey Chapelle was a wartime photographer –journalist. From 1945 to 1965,she worked on combat duty, traveling with the troops and recording everything with her camera. She took photos of battle and of the misery of wounded soldiers. National magazines printed her photos. They told a powerful story about the hardship of war.

Today, many photographers use movies to tell important stories. Some stories are about teenage problems in Harlem, some are about the struggles of migrant workers in Texas. These photographers are using cameras to communicate stories cross-country from one group to another

56.The story does not say so, but it makes you think that _____.

A.people in rural America like to take pictures

B.photography is a way of recording history

C.hobbies are important to Americans

D.photography has become a popular hobby recently

57.On the whole, his story is about_____.

A.how to start a camera club

B.the wars in 1940

C.the importance of serious photography

D.three great photographers

58.Which statement does the story lead you to believe?

A. Photographers earn a lot of money for their families.

B. Photographs form a connection between people.

C. Cameras are no longer important today.

D. Owing to photography, there are less sadness and less sympathy in the world nowadays.

Have you ever wondered how plants produce other plants?

Pollen（花粉）is a yellow powder that contains the male cell of plants. It is found on stalk-like parts of the plant called stamens. Then, when pollen is carried to the pistil, or female parts, of the plant, pollination（授粉）takes place. Pollination is the way in which plants are fertilized. In order for most plants to reproduce or make new plants, pollination is necessary.

Pollination can take place in many ways. The wind helps pollinate corn. The stamens of the corn plant grow above the leaves, and the wind blows the pollen from the stamens onto the pistils.

Sometimes the stamens grow inside the flowers of a plant. Insects help to pollinate these plants. The monarch buttery, for example, feeds on milk-weed nectar（花蜜）. While the butterfly is feeding, its legs get covered with pollen. When the butterfly moves to other milkweed plants, some of the pollen comes off its feet. The pollen lands on the plants‘ pistils and fertilizes them.

People who grow fruit often use hand-pollination. They do this only with healthy trees. The pollen from these trees is collected and placed, by hand, on the pistils of other healthy trees. Hand-pollination usually results in larger and better-tasting fruit. With this method, the pollination is not simply left to chance.

59.The female part of a plant is called the ____.

A.cell

B. stalk

C. stamen

D. pistil

https://www.360docs.net/doc/3816792274.html,pared to hand –pollination, the pollination of milkweed is _____.

A.left to chance

B. carefully controlled

B.done by the wind D. more scientific

61.According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?

A.It is safer than waiting for the wind to do it

B.The pollen ripens faster

C.Only healthy trees are selected as parents

D.The pollination takes place unexpectedly

C

Nuclear power's(核能的)danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word: radiation(辐射).

Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio w aves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.

At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer.Sometimes this does not show up for many years.

This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.

Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

62. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in ____.

A. nuclear mystery

B. radiation detection

C. radiation level

D. nuclear radiation

63. Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.

A. when it kills few cells

B. if it damages few cells

C. though the damaged cells can repair themselves

D. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves

64. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can _____.

A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately

B. damage cells which may grow into cancer years later

C. affect the healthy growth of our younger generation

D. lead to all of the above results

65. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?

A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized (过分强调).

B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.

C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.

D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.

D.

Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still questioning the refereeing on their decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was asked to study the performance of some top referees.

The researcher organized an experimental tournament involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes, during which different referees were in charge.

Observers noted down the ref erees‘ errors,of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a very high number.

The researcher then studied the videotapes to study the matches carefully. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of error was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum distance is about 20 meters.

There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.

If FIFA, football‘s international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of referees at the next World Cup,

it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.

He also says that FIFA‘s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less important.

66.The experiment done by the researcher was meant to ______.

A.review the decisions of referees at the 1998World Cup

B.Find out the cause of errors made by football referees

C.Set a standard for football refereeing

D.Re-examine the rules for football refereeing

67.The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was ____.

A.slightly above average

B.higher than in the 1998 World Cup

C.quite unexpected

D.as high as in a standard match

68.The findings of the experiment show that ______.

A.errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball

B.The farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors

C.The more slowly the referee runs, the more likely errors will occur

D.Errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot

69.The word ― officials‖ (Para .4) most probably refers to _____.

A. the researchers involved in the experiment

B. the inspectors of the football tournament

C.the referees of the football tournament

D.the observers at the site of the experiment

70.What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?

A.the ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.

B.Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.

C. A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.

D.An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.

Wild Bill Donovan would have loved the Internet. The spymaster who built the Office of Strategic Service in World War Ⅱand late laid the roots for the CIA(美国中央情报局)was very interested in information. Donovan believed in using whatever tools came to hand in the ―great name‖of discovering information-spying as a ―profession‖（职业）.These days the Net, which has already re-made such everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail, is reshaping Donovan‘s job as well.

The latest revolution isn‘t simply a matter of gentlemen reading other gentlemen‘s e-mail. That kind of electronic spying has been going on for decades. In the past three or four years, the World Wide Web has given birth to a whole industry of point-and-click spying. The spies call it ―open-source intelligence （情报）, and as the Net grows, it is becoming increasingly to affect people‘s lives. In 1995 the CIA held a contest to see who could collect the most facts about Burundi. The winner was a tiny Virginia company called open source solutions, whose clear advantage was its mastery of the electronic world.

Among the firms making the biggest splash in this new world is Straitford, Inc., a private intelligence-analysis （情报分析）firm based in Austin, Texas. Straitford makes money by selling the results of spying (covering nations from Chile to Russia ) to corporations like energy-services firm McDermott International. People may find its forecasts online at https://www.360docs.net/doc/3816792274.html,.

Straitford president George Friedman says he sees the online world as a kind of tool for both collecting and giving out information, a spymaster‘s dream. Last week his f irm was busy searching for information from the far corners of the world and saying there would be a crisis (危机)in Ukraine. ―As soon as that report runs,we‘ll suddenly get 500 new Internet sign-ups from Ukraine,‖ says Friedman, a former political science professor. ―And we‘ll hear back from some of them.‖ Open-source spying does have its risks, of course, since it can be difficult to

tell good information from bad. That‘s where Straitford earns its keep.

Friedman relies on only 20 people in Austin. Several of his staff members have military-intelligence (军事情报) backgrounds. He sees the firm ?s outsider positio n as the key to its success. Straitford‘s brief don‘t sound like the usual Washington back-and-forth, by which people avoid dramatic declarations on the chance they might be wrong. Straitford, says Friedman, takes pride in its independent voice.

71.The Internet has ______.

A. received support from fans like Donovan

B. reshaping the intelligence services

C.offered people more chances to enjoy many common pastimes.

D.Made spying a job respected by people.

72.Donovan‘s story is mentioned in the text to ______.

A.introduce the topic of online spying

B.show how he fought for the U.S.

C.give us an example of the information war

D.honor his special services to the CIA

73.The underlined phrase ―making the biggest splash‖ (Line 1,Prara.3) most probably means ____.

A.causing the biggest trouble

B.making the greatest effort

C.achieving the greatest success

D.enjoying the widest popularity

74.It can be learned from Para.4 that ______.

A. what Straitford said about Ukraine has proved true

B.Straitford can promise that all its information is true

C.Straitford cam never prove the truthfulness of its information

D.Straitford is able to provide fairly reliable information

75. Straitford is most proud of its____

A.independent outsiders

B. outsider position

C. working staff

D. military background

Possible version

Dear editor,

I‘m writing t o tell you about the discussion we recently had about whether we should know our parents‘ income.

We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us(about 70%) think we should know our parents‘

income since it will help us understand how hard our parents have to work, no matter how much they earn. Then

we will study harder and will not waste money any more. We may also learn to share our parents‘ trouble.

About 30% of my classmates think it unnecessary to let the children know how much their parents earn. If they know their parents have enough money to support the family, they will not study hard since they needn‘t worry about the future. It is said, especially when their parents have a higher income, the children will easily form a wasteful habit.
