We were a very quiet crown of people who took the bus every day that summer 33 years ago. During the early morning ride from the suburb, we sat with our collars up to our ears, a cheerless and dull bunch.

One of the passengers was a small grey man who took the bus to the centre every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him. Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver before he sat down. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent.

The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice: “And a very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good morning” in reply.

The following weeks we were more alert. Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.

One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver tuned around smilingly and asked: “Have you got yourself a girlfriend? Charlie?”We never got to know if his name really was Charlie, but he nodded shyly and said yes. Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower.

The summer went by when one morning Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or hopefully in holiday somewhere. Later we were told the elderly gentleman was fine, but he hadn’t been coming to the centre that week. One of his very close friends had died at the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work!

The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping(弓背) a bit more, a little bit more grey. Inside the bus was a silence similar to that in a church. Even though no one talked about it, all those of us sat with our eyes filled with tear and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.

45. From the first paragraph we can infer that the passengers _____.

A. had a cheerful trip every morning

B. were not so easy-going

C. seldom talked to each other

D. talked and laughed on the way

46. How did the passengers feel when Charlie was not there the next day?

A. Concerned.

B. Pleased.

C. Surprised.

D. Disappointed.

47. What could be the best title of this passage?

A. Say “Hello” to everyone

B. Flowers on the bus

D. Making friends with others D. Feeling pity for others

C

We have mentioned there are different ways to store fish. Two ways to keep fish

for future use are canning and freezing. Two other methods are smoking and drying.

Today we will come to the last method--- drying. We’ll describe, step by step, how to prepare dried fish.

Begin with fish that are just out of the water. If the fish are small, leave their heads on. Cut off the heads if the fish are longer than twenty centimeters or weigh more than one hundred fifteen grams.

Now clean the freshly caught fish. Cut off the scales and cut open the stomach. Remove everything inside. Then wash the fish in clean water and rub salt into them.

Next, put the fish in a container with a solution of three hundred grams of salt and one liter of water. This will remove the blood from the meat. Keep the fish in the salt water for about thirty minutes. After that, wash them again in clean water.

Next, put the fish in a solution that has more salt in the water. The water should be salty enough so that the fish float to the top. If the fish sink to the bottom of the container, add more salt to the water.

Cover the container with a clean piece of wood. Place a heavy stone on the wood to hold it down. Leave the fish there for about six hours.

After that remove them from the salt water and place them in a clean surface. Cover the fish with a clean piece of white cloth and let them dry.

Another method of preparing fish is called dry salting. Wooden boxes or baskets are used for dry salting. After cleaning the fish, put a few of them on the bottom of the box or basket. Cover them with salt, and then put more fish on top. Cover them also with salt. Continue putting fish and salt in the container until it is full.

So do not use too much salt when using the dry salting method. You should use one part salt to three parts fish. For example, if you have three kilograms of fish, you should use one kilogram of salt.

Remove the fish after a week or ten days. Wash them in a mixture of water and a small amount of salt and let them dry.

We have talked a lot about salt. Keep in mind that doctors advise people to limit the sodium (钠) in their diet. It can raise blood pressure, and some people have more of a reaction than others.

52. Which is the correct order according to the first method?

1). Clean the fresh fish, cut off the scales, cut open the stomach and remove everything inside.

2). Cover the container with a clean piece of wood and place a heavy stone on the wood.

3). Put the fish in a container with salt water to remove the blood from the meat.

4). Remove the fish from the salt water and place them on a clean surface.

5). Put the fish in a solution that has more salt in the water.

6). Cover the fish with a clean piece of white cloth and let them dry.

A. 2)--1)--3)--4)--5)--6)

B. 3)--1)--4)--2)--5)--6)

C. 1)--3)--4)--2)--5)--6)

D. 1)--3)--5)--2)--4)--6)

53. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. All the heads of the fish which will be dried must be cut off.

B. When drying fish, the less you use the salt, the better.

C. While using the dry salting method, you should hold the fish with wooden boxes.

D. While salting fish, firstly you should put all the cleaned fish at the bottom of a box.

54. Which will be probably talked about in the next paragraph?

A. The bad effect upon people’s health when abusing salt in storing fish.

B. some tips about how to smoke fish.

C. Some other ways about how to store fish.

D. Some ways about how to cook the dried fish,.

55. We can read the passage in the _____ part of the magazine.

A. entertainment

B. cooking

C. science

D. business

I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.

At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement--- jobs, research papers, awards ---was viewed through the lens of gender( 性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus right brain, or nature versus nurture( 培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.

Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.

Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war”stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.

56. Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?

A. she feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.

B. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.

C. She is not good at telling stories if this kind.

D. She finds space research more important.

57. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author’s failure to _____.

A. the very fact that she is a woman

B. her involvement in gender politics

C. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist

D. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society

58. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and

post-doctoral research?

A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.

B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside of her circle.

C. People’s stereotyped attitude towards female scientist

D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture.

59. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class?

A. Female students no longer have to bother about gender issues.

B. Her students’ performance has brought back her confidence.

C. Her female students can do just as well as male students

D. More female students are devoting themselves to science than before.

60. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?

A. Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.

B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.

C. Women can balance a career in science and having a family.

D. women now have fewer problems seeking for a science career.

Japan has become world leader in using robots. It has about 14,000 robots. No other country has that many. Most of the robots are use in factories. But soon they may be more common in hospitals and other places. They can be used to care people who need 24-hour-a-day attention. They can carry food, medicine and newspaper. Some day they may even be smartly enough to talk with people. Most of the robots looked like the machines they are. A computer is the “brain”inside each robot. A list of instructions in the computer gives the robot to orders so that it will know exactly how to do. More companies are buying robots as their prices are becoming cheaper.
