In those days, ladies wore long bathing dresses, and men wore bathing suits. Women did not walk about on the beach in their bathing dresses. They hired a bathing machine. A bathing machine was used for changing in, and for taking the bather down to the sea. It cost 2 pence to hire a machine and an attendant(侍者). When she had paid, the bather climbed up the back steps and got into the bathing machine. Then she changed into her bathing dress. When she had changed, the machine was pulled down to the sea. The bathing machine stopped in the water and the bather went down the front steps into the water. If she did not want to get into the sea, the attendant pulled her in.36.

Itis 1,510 miles southwest of its nearestneighbor, St. Helena, and 1,950miles west ofAfrica. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral（葡萄牙海军上将）of the same name in1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongsto Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred.Coming in a close second –and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land－is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor, Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America.The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moai, for which the island is most famous.On Easter Sunday, 1772, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean land. They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day.39．It can be learned from the text that the island of Tristan da Cunha _____________.A．was named after its discovererB．got its name from Holland settlersC．was named by the British governmentD．got its name from the Guinness Book of Records40．Which of the following is most famous for moai?A．Tristan da Cunha.

New research shows that sometimes people physically see what they want to see. Cornell University social psychologist (心理学家) David Dunning carried out experiments to test whether wishful thinking can actually affect what we see.“It’s well proved from what is experienced in everyday life, and from the laboratory as well, that people think what they want to thi nk,” he says. “We’re taking this a step further. We're asking if strong wishes and fears can actually affect what people physically see.”Dunning and his assistants told volunteers that a computer game would show them either a letter or number to decide whether they would drink orange juice or fruit syrup (果子露).As they wrote in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the computer would flash an ambiguous picture, whi ch could be seen as the letter “B” or the number “13”. V olunteers who were told that a letter would get them orange juice most often reported seeing “B”. Those who were told that a number would get them orange juice most often saw “13”.The researchers also used a hi dden camera to track volunteers’eye movements, particularly the first eye movement. “We don't control them,” Dunning says, “and they don't even know that we are watching them, so it honestly shows what a person is seeing.”“This research suggests that the brain is doing a lot of work between the eye and the conscious awareness to aff ect what we think,”Dunning concludes(得出结论). “Before we even see the world, our brain has decided to keep what we want to see and avoid what we don't want to see.”43. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. the eye movements of some volunteersB. an experiment by the Journal of Personality and Social PsychologyC. a social psychologist Dunning and his assistantsD. new findings on what may affect what we see44. In Dunning's experiment, if “13” gets you orange juice, which of the following willalso get you orange juice?A. B. C. D.45. The underlined word “ambiguous” most probably means _____________.A. interestingB. unclearC. importantD. old46. Which of the following statements is true according to Dunning's findings?A. The brain can influence people's vision.B. The brain forgets what it wants to see.C. The eyes can't see without strong wishes and fears.D. The brain is not actually connected to the eyes.DTreasure hunts have excited people's imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues found in a book when he wrote a children's story, Masquerade, in 1979.The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried(埋) a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of "red herrings", or false clues, to mislead them.Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic(逻辑), not by luck. His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words: "One of Six to Eight "under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII's six wives. Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea came to him. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he saw two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if hewas wasting his time there. Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth ￡3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.47. The underlined word "them"(paragraph1) refers to _____________ .A. red herringsB. treasure huntsC. Henry VIII's six wivesD. readers of Masquerade48. What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare？A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill.B. Stevenson's Treasure Island.C. Katherine of Aragon.D. Williams' home town.49. The stone crosses in Ampthill were built _____________.A. to tell people about what happened in 1773B. to show respect for Henry VIII's first wifeC. to serve as a road sign in Ampthill ParkD. to tell people where the gold hare was50. Which of the following describes Roberts' logic in searching for the hare?a. Henry VIII's six wivesb. Katherine's burial place at Kimboltonc. Williams' childhood in Ampthilld. Katherine of Aragone. stone crosses in Ampthill ParkA. a-b-c-e-dB. d-b-c-e-aC. a-d-b-c-eD. d-a-b-c-e第二卷四．选词填空（共10小题，满分10分）用方框内所给词的适当形式填空，使短文意思完整、正确。
