A number of these delicious things are laid out in a row during the Christmas season. Here you can try them before coming to a decision.I have often wondered whether some people would take advantage of（利用）this. One day I asked a shop girl:“Now there’s one old gentleman, for example,” she told me. “He comes here almost every week and tries each one of the puddings, though he never buys anything and I don’t think he ever will. Well, let him come if he wants it, and welcome to it. ”She was still speaking when an elderly gentleman came up to the counter（柜台）and began looking closely at the row of puddings with great interest.“That’s the very gentleman I’ve been telling you about, “ said the shop girl in a low voice. “Just watch him now.” And then turning to him, “Would you like to try them, sir? Here’s a spoon （勺）for you to use.”The elderly gentleman was poorly but neatly dressed. He accepted the spoon and began to try one after another of the puddings.I went up to him and said, “Pardon me, sir, will you please let me buy you one of these puddings. It would give me such pleasure.”“Excuse me,” he said with dignity（自尊）, “I do not believe I have the pleasure of knowing you. You must have mistaken me for someone else.” And with a quick decision he turned to the shop girl and said in a loud voice: “kindly pack me up this one here. I will tak e it with me.”He pointed at one of the largest and most expensive of the puddings. He pulled out a worn little black pocketbook and began counting out shillings and pennies on to the counter. To save his face he had to buy what he could not possibly pay for. How I regretted (后悔) having said these words.“You pay at the desk,” the shop girl was telling him, but he did not seem to understand and kept trying to put the coins into her hand. And that was the last I saw or heard of the old man. Now he can never come there to try puddings any more.1.All the buyers can_______ .A. buy one of the puddings at lower priceB. get one of the puddings for freeC. have a break in the store after workD. try the puddings before they decide to buy them答案：D2.The writer offered to buy the old man the pudding because _______ .A. he was one friend of the old man’sB. he wanted to make fun of the old manC. he thought the old man might have forgotten to bring money with himD. he did it out of kindness答案：D3.When the writer offered to buy the pudding for him, the old man was _______ .A. pleasedB. thankfulC. movedD. surprised as well as hurt答案：D4.The old man finally bought one of the largest and the most expensive puddings because _______ .A. he wanted to save his faceB. he was extremely hungryC. he was not poor at allD. he liked it best答案：A5.Which of the following is NOT true?A.

These brave men often risk their lives, but they receive no money from their work. They live in small towns on the coast, and most have their jobs. The special lifeboats that they need are provided by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, a private group which depends completely on money from private people. The R.N.L.I. does not accept any money from the government. As a result, it cannot always buy the best and most modern lifeboats. For example, about ten years ago, British researchers began to criticize(批评) the lifeboats which were in use that time. According to their studies, the lifeboats never sank, but they turned over in certain sea conditions and stayed upside down in the water. However, there was a new kind of lifeboat that did not turn over, The R.N.L.I. began to buy this safer kind of boat, but they could buy one or two every year.Some years ago on the southwestern coast of England, a lifeboat station that did not have the new type of lifeboat received a radio call from a ship that was sinking. The call came in the middle of the worst storm. The sea was very rough, but the lifeboat went out to try to save the men on the sinking ship. Two hours later, their radio stopped, and nothing more was heard from them. One day later a helicopter found the lifeboat. It was lying upside down in the sea. Probably a large wave hit it and turned it over. There were no more survivors(幸存者).The news shocked the people of Great Britain. A number of people began to criticize the lifeboat system. In their opinion, the US system is better. “ We cannot send brave men out in boats which are not safe,” the said. “ They need the best boats s ystem.” Today, however, the system remains the same.31 According to this passage, the lifeboatmen receive no money because_____.A.they all have moneyB.they are sent by the governmentC.they have their own jobsD.they don’t have money32 The lifeboatmen risk their lives because the_______________ is not in good condition.A．the life boatB．t he sea is coldC．the money is not enoughD．people often criticize them33 The system does not change because________.A．they risk their livesB．t hey don’t receive moneyC．people often criticize themD．the boats are still old34 The R.N.L.I does not provide good boats for them because_________.A．it can not afford the moneyB．p eople often complainC．the government does not have the awarenessD．the system is acceptable35 The British people think the government should_________.A．offer more money to improve the life boat systemB．l earn from the lifeboatmenC．provide the lifeboatmen with more moneyD．stop the lifeboat system36 Which of the following is true of the lifeboat system in Great Britain?A．It needs better lifeboatsB．E veryone is satisfied with itC．It has a good supply of moneyD．It is controlled by the government37 What happened in the storm some years ago? The lifeboat__________A．sank lying deep in the seaB．s topped their radio for two hoursC．saved the people on the small shipD．turned over and all the lifeboatmen died38 It is implied in the passage that_________A．no one expected the kind of disaster that happened some years agoB．the lifeboatmen should not be sent out when the sea is too roughC．the US lifeboatmen have more money than the British systemD．the lifeboat system in the US remains the same as before39 What is the purpose of the passage?A．To compare the US lifeboat system with the British systemB．To prove that the British lifeboatmen are really braveC．To show the lifeboatmen’s honesty to the Brutish governmentD．To explain the situation of the lifeboat system in Great Britain40 This passage is taken from an article. What was possibly discussed preceding this passage?A．The lifeboat system in another countryB．The lifeboatmen in Great BritainC．The special lifeboat used by the British lifeboatmen.D．The news of the disaster which shocked the British people（B）India’s population is 844m and expanding by almost 18m a year. This is alarming, except by African standa rds: India’s growth rate of 2.22% a year is far exceeded by Africa’s 3.2%.India spends $400m a year on birth control, much of which is wasted. Sterilization(绝育手术) is undergone mainly by other people who have had families. Those who have the operation get a $5 reward.Small families are commonest in the cities. There health care is available and people can generally find some cash. Moreover, city Indians do not feel they need lots of children to look after them when they are old.

And now he takes to air once again.Michael Jordan was the greatest player in the basketball game, and after he retired at the top of his game he vowed, “I’m never coming back to play basketball. Not in this lifetime. Never. Unless I change my mind.” Sometimes in February this year, Jordan did change his mind.For the league, the timing couldn’t be better. Without Jordan, ratings for the last season’s playoff finals dropped 31 per cent. This season, things have only gotten worse. Despite the coming out of nice new stars like Shaquille 0’Neal and Detroit’s Grant Hill. The game’s image has been riddled (full of something bad) with the cries of spoil sports and dissatisfaction.For the Bull, the question is whether Jordan is in shape. According to reports, Jordan has in recent months worked out with the same personal trainer he used to during his basketball career. And even in his retirement, he occasionally dropped by practice to train with the team. But that still doesn’t mean he’s in game shape. In workouts last month, Jordan’s shot was off, but t eam-mate says his intensity was there. The Bulls players all say unhesitatingly they want him back.But to another audience, Jordan’s career and comeback mean more than baskets and championships and market share. Now all across America, kids in struggling neighborhoods are his family and especially about his relationship with his father, James Jordan, who was murdered in 1993. Out here, to “be like Mike” can mean a lot more than knowing how to handle a basketball.51 Which title best gives the idea of the passage?A.Michael Jordan, A Big Star and HeroB.Basketball in the United StatesC.Jordan Is Coming Back to the CourtD.Jordan Changed His Mind52 When did Jordan retire form the basketball court?E.He retired eighteen months before he vowed.F.After his father died, he was too sad to continue playing basketball.G.After a game, he walked away.H.When he was the most successful, he retired.53 What is the problem for Jordan to come back to the Bulls?I.He was not strong enough to play the game.J.In workouts last months, Jo rdan’s shot was off.K.The trainer didn’t agree to accept him.L.The Bulls players hesitatingly want him back.54. The underlined word “intensity” is closest in meaning to .A.force to doB.increase in strengthC.strong-mindedD.smart and skillful55. We can infer from the passage that .A.children are talking about Jordan.B.Jordan has a good relationship with his father.C.Jordan means much more to children than playing basketball.D.Jordan’s return made sure that the Bulls would win.56. “take to air” in the first paragraph means________.A. retireB. come back to play the game againC. come back to help other audienceD. come to work for the audience57. Jordan keeps on training with______.A. with the leagueB. with a new trainerC. with his former trainerD. with his audience58. In order to be in a good state in the playfield, Jordan needs to________.A. help more peopleB. do more trainingC. help his leagueD. help his audience59. His league believes that ___________ though he is not in good state.A. he can help the trainerB. he can help the audienceC. he can help the leagueD. he can still find himself back in the playfield60.

He laughed too,21he laughed too long and too loud. That made me think. I realized that he didn’t believe that I could do it. That made me angry, but 22.On the day of the race in London, I lined up with about 30,000 other runners. The faster runners were at the23, while slower runners like me were placed further back. In that way, the professional runners and club runners were not24 down by the amateurs （业余者）.At first, there were so many runners close together that we were almost falling 25each other. We could only run very slowly but that was a good thing because it meant that we didn’t rush off too quickly. Gradually the runners26out and there was more space. There were thousands of people watching us along the route and they cheered and clapped everyone, even the slowest runner. It was wonderful !For the first 10km I felt very happy and my legs felt very27. However, at 15km I got a pain in my side and running became difficult, but I kept going and the pain disappeared. At the 30km28, I felt extremely tired, and wanted to stop, but I kept on going. I covered another 3km and then I began to feel better again.When I finished 35km, I knew I was going to get to the end of the course. Somehow that 29made me feel lighter and faster and it seemed as if my legs flew over the last few kilometers. Finally I came round the last 30and saw the finishing line. I finished the race in just under four hours. The winner had completed the race in 2 hours and 10 minutes, but I didn’t care! I had run 42km and completed my first marathon!21 A. so B. or C. but D. and22 A. disappointed B. determined C. encouraged D. surprised23 A. back B. side C. front D. end24 A. fell B. slowed C. looked D. pulled25 A. down B. over C. off D. behind26 A. held B. broke C. gave D. spread27 A. heavy B. tense C. comfortable D. weak28 A. leg B. stop C. mark D. break29 A. pride B. satisfaction C. success D. confidence30 A. bend B. route C. part D. course三、阅读理解：（A）While it is true that Americans believe climbing the educational ladder leads to success, they are less certain that intellectual(知识的) achievement, which is the main purpose of the school, is not the only important factor to success, especially in men. The development of social and political skills are also considered to be very important.To help Americans develop these other important skills, schools have added a large number of extracurricular activities to daily life at school. This is especially true of high schools and colleges but extends down into elementary schools as well.Athletics, frequently called “competitive sport”, are perhaps the most important of these activities. Football, basketball, and baseball teams are seen as very important in students particularly boys, the “winning spirit”. At times athletic teams seem to become more important to some students and their parents than the academic programs offered by the schools.Students government is another extracurricular activity designed to develop competitive, political, and social skills in students. The students choose a number of student government officers, who compete for the votes of their fellow students in schoolwide elections. Although these officers have little power over the central decisions of the school, the process of running for office and then taking responsibility for a number of minor maters if elected is seen as good experience in developing their leadership and competitive skills.Athletics and student government are only two of a variety of extracurricular activities found in American schools. There are clubs and activities for almost every student interest, all aimed at helping the student to become more successful in later life. Many parents watch their childre n’s extracurricular activities with as much interest and concern as they do their children’s intellectual achievements in the classroom.31 The main idea of this passage is that_______________.A.Americans have more time to develop interest outside classB.Americans all go to collegeC.Outside class interests are important in addition to educationD.Americans concentrate solely on intellectual achievement32 According to the passage, the most important extracurricular activity especially for a boy would be___________________.A．being a student officerB．joining the football or baseball teamC winningD being president of the math club33 The reason why extracurricular activities are important is probably that__________________.A．society is composed of many other social skillsB．sports scholarships are important in AmericaC．education should be funD．everyone should know something about politics34 Climbing the educational ladders means________________________.A．getting good high school gradesB．developing your academic education step by stepC．participating in extracurricular activitiesD．running for president for the class35 In the passage boys are especially urged to participate in outside activities. Why aren’t girls urged to participate in these activitie s?A．Because men still dominate societyB．Because men and women are still not equalC．Because girls are not interestedD．This is not mentioned in this passage36. According to this passage, students should learn_______ as well as knowledge at school.A. how to play sportsB. how to become a political leaderC. other skillsD. how to be a government officer37. American schools provide a lot of extracurricular activities in order to________.A. help students to develop other skillsB. help students to become political leadersC. help students to become sports playersD. help students to go to university38. American schools provide__________ of extracurricular activities.A. only two kindsB. different kindsC. three kindsD. none39. Those activities aim at__________.A. helping them to be richer in their later lifeB. helping them to be popular in their later lifeC. helping them to be more successful in their later lifeD. helping them to be stronger in their later life40. Both students and parents consider those activities ________ academic knowledge.A. more difficult thanB. easier thanC. more important thanD. less important than（B）Europeans work fewer hours, for more money, than ever before. What do they do with all that time off? In the cold, grey north they watch television: Denmark now has 386 sets for every 1,000 people, Germany 385---40% more than in 1970. In sunny Spain they eat out: 14% of household spending, the largest share in the Community, goes on restaurants, cafes and hotels---- not including alcoholic(酒精) drinks. Europeans everywhere watch football. One European in three is interested football, a quarter in tennis and swimming, a fifth in athletics and gymnastics.Their houses are well-equipped, and getting more so, as long ago as 1980, the most recent year for which comparable figures exist, nine-tenth of Europe’s (except in Ireland and Portugal). Ownership of washing machines varied more: 87% of Dutch had one, but only 58% of Danes. Ownership of dishwashers was stuck at 3% in Britain in 1980, but rising fast in France: up from 13% in 1980 to 22% in 1985. In Holland 95% of household had a telephone in 1985, in Italy only 72%.Above all, the newly rich Europeans go on holiday. In 1985, 56% of them went away at least once. As anyone who has tried to spread a towel on a Mediterranean beach in high summer can confirm(证实), 34% of them took their main holiday in August and another 28% in July. For peace (if not sun), try February or November, when only 1% of Europeans take their main holiday. One European in three holidays abroad. These, not surprisingly, are mostly northerners.Half of Europe’s holidaymakers head for the seaside. But in Holland more people prefer a holiday in the countryside to a week on the beach. So there are some differences left.41. From this passage, we know that people in different countries spend their spare time________.A. in the seaB. on the mountainsC. at homeD. in different places42. The expenditure for household_____________ every year in some European countries.A. increasesB. decreasesC. stays the sameD. goes up and down43. People in Spain prefer ________ to watching TV.A. spending money on holidayB. spending money on sportsC. going to the Mediterranean beachD. eating in different places44.

European people go for holiday___________.A. only in summerB. only in winterC. mostly in summerD. mostly in winter46. North Europeans spend their time off_________.A. watching televisionB. eating outC. visiting eastern countriesD. fishing47. One European in four is interested in__________A. footballB. athleticsC. gymnasticsD. tennis and swimming48. In 1985 ownership of dishwashers was at________A. 87% of DutchB. 58% of DanesC. 22% of FrenchD. 72% of Italians49. In 1985 56% of the newly rich Europeans went on holiday at least_________.A. onceB. twiceC. three timesD. four times50. 28% of Europeans take their main holiday in____________.A. FebruaryB. NovemberC. JulyD. August（C）Millions of aircraft take off around the world every year. The skies they fly in seem limitless ------miles of empty space. However, with the number of flights increasing each year, this emptiness no longer exists. Researchers in the world of aviation (航空) are worried about the increasing pressure on pilots and ground controllers. And increasing collisions, happening at or near an airport, have called attention to the need for more aids (help) to aviation control.People who travel the skies are not certain about air safety. A great deal of money is spent on new and bigger aircraft and airports to deal with the huge increase in passengers traveling by air. Only a small percentage of this money is spent on navigation (导航) and other aids. Actually, suitable electronic equipment has long existed, and many companies sell safety aids which are designed to make it safer for aircraft to take off, fly any distance, and land, whatever the weather is like. Yet there are two problems to be solved. The first is to get governments, airlines and airport officials to agree to basic safety aids. The second problem is to find a way of meeting these basic requirements.But no matter how well the equipment works, operators of the equipment still play an important role. Communications between pilots and ground controllers are extremely important to air safety. It is worth pointing out that the mishearing or misunderstanding of instructions in English, and the use of another language in an international conversation have caused two recent aircraft accidents. A new type of instrument called FLIGHTWATCH would help pilots prevent airport collisions. It would be very helpful near airports.51.. The underlined word “collisions” probably means________.A. accidents in which two planes hit each otherB. pilots and ground controllers misunderstand each otherC. quarrels among passengersD. breakdowns (机械故障) of new types of instrument52. The increasing number of flights leads to (引起) the fact that________.A. flying is no longer limited in the skyB. there is no empty space for aids to aviation controlC. piloting and controlling planes is getting more difficult。

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. “Is this your car, Mister?” he asked.Paul nodded. “My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was astounded. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish….” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, “Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”ned and with his eyes aglow, said, “Mister, would you mind After a short ride, the boy turturned and with his eyes aglow, said, “Mister, woulddriving in front of my house?” Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a a cent. And some day I’m gonna give you one just like it…, then you can cent. And some day I’m gonna give you one just like it…, then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car.

If the diggers strike water, the tunnel will be flooded. If the rock is too hard, workers will not be able to dig through it. Before a tunnel can be built, people must know what they will find. They call in a geologist. She or he helps plan a tunnel so it can go through rock that is dry and hard, but not too hard.A steel and concrete skyscraper is going up. A skyscraper cannot be built over sand or mud. Sand and mud cannot hold up a building. Before a skyscraper can be built, people must know what lies under the surface of the earth. They call in geologists.Geologists find the best place to build dams and bridges. They look for the best places to dig wells for water.

Some people don't need very much sleep. But we all need to dream, scientists say.Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short movies. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old movies. They cometo us over again. That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They could have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams can disappear quickly from memory.Too much dreaming can be harmful. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.40、The main idea of the story is that ________.A：people need to dream B：people like to sleepC：dreams are like movies D：dreams are harmful for us答案：A41、The title for the story could be ________.A：Secret Dreams B：The longest Sleep C：All about Dreams D：What Is Your Dream 答案：D42、Dreams and movies are usually ________.A：very long B：in color C：about work D：very short答案：B43、Which of these ideas is expressed in the story?A：We always remember dreams. B：All dreams are happy.C：Long dreams can make you tired. D：We have bad sleep when we dreams答案：CPassage 3How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cites in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount if garbage piling up on the earth. 44、What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?A：The shortage of energy and air pollution.B：The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C：Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.D：Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage.答案：B45、According to the passage, using garbage is ________.A：for heating in France each year B：a new way in a modern societyC：a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage D：too expensive as an energy source答案：C46、What is the author's attitude?A：Delighted B：Sad C：Agreeing D：Disagreeing答案：C47、The best title for the passage may be ________.A：Garbage and the Earth B：Fossil Fuel and GarbageC：Land and Garbage D：Garbage? Energy Source答案：DPassage 4I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career（职业）.I wasn't an excellent student because I didn't do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn't have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn't the type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn't too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she'd give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn't often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didn't think I would be accepted because I didn't take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I've got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren't top of the class at school.48、What is the author's present job?A：Working part-time in college. B：Taking care of children for a familyC：Helping children with their schoolwork D：Looking after children at a kindergarten.答案：D49、When staying with the two girls' family, the author ________.A：was paid for extra work B：often worked long hoursC：got much help from her boss D：took a day off every other week答案：B50、Why did the author leave her first job?A：She needed a rest after working extra hours B：She was fed up with children.C：She decided to attend a part-time course D：She found a full-time job.答案：C51、What has the author learned from her own experiences?A：Less successful students can still have a career. B：Qualifications are necessary for a careerC：Hard work makes an excellent student D：One must choose the job she likes答案：AV.

B He’s out there somewhere, an instant icon in the records of American conflict, the final big-game hunter. But a puzzle, too, his identity would be kept a secret for now, and maybe forever. He is the unknown shooter. The nameless, faceless triggerman who put a bullet in the head of the world’s most notorious（臭名昭著的）terrorist, Bin Laden. He’s likely between the ages of 26 and 33, says Marcinko, founder of the “SEALs Team 6” that many believe led the attack on Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. He’ll be old enough to have had time to hurdle the extra training tests required to join the counter-terrorism unit, yet young enough to stand the body-punishing harshness of the job. The shooter’s a man, it’s safe to say, because there are no women in the SEALs. And there’s a good chance he’s white, though the SEALs have stepped up efforts to increase the number of minorities in their ranks, Marcinko and Smith say. He was probably a high school or college athlete, Smith says, a physical specimen who combines strength, speed and wisdom. “They call themselves ‘tactical athletes,’” says Smith, who works with many future SEALs in his Heroes of Tomorrow training program in Severna Park. “It’s getting veryscientific.” Marcinko puts it in more conventional terms: “He’ll be ripped,” says the author of the best-selling autobiography “Rogue Warrior.” “He’s got a lot of upper-body strength. Long arms. Thin waist. Flat stomach.” On this point, Greitens departs a bit. “You can’t make a lot of physical assumptions,” says the author of “The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, the Making of a Navy SEAL.” There are SEALs who are 5 feet 4 and SEALs who are 6 feet 5, Greitens says. In his training group, he adds, there were college football boys who couldn’t hack it; those who survived were most often men in good shape, but they also had a willingness to show their concerns in favor of the mission. The shooter’s probably not the crew-cut（平头）, neatly shaven ideal we’ve come to expect from American fighting forces. “He’s bearded, rough-looking, like a street naughty boy,” Marcinko supposes. “You don’t want to stick out.” Marcinko calls it “modified grooming standards.” His hands will be calloused（长老茧）, Smith says, or just rough enough,” as Marcinko puts it. And “he’s got frag in him somewhere,” Marcinko says, using the battlefield shorthand for “fragments” of bullets or explosive devices. This will not have been the shooter’s first adventure. Marcinko estimates that he might have made a dozen or more deployments（部署）, tours when he was likely to have dealt with quite a number of dangerous situations, getting ready any time for explosive devices or bullets. 5. Which of the following is most likely to be the title of the passage?A. Who shot Bin Laden?B. What do the SEALS do?C. How can boys be SEALS?D. What SEALS are like? 6. From the passage we can know that the writer ___________.A. knows clearly what the shooter is likeB. doubts whether Bin Laden is dead B. is certain that the shooter is a manD. is not sure of the shooter’s gender 7. We can say for sure according to the passage that ___________. A. the shooter will eventually be revealed in the Press B. the writer is a person who is curious about the shooter C. the writer is a detective who tries to arrest the shooter D. the shooter is a strong man with a pair of rough hands 8. Which of the following are the names of writers mentioned in the passage? ①. Marcinko ②. Greitens ③. Smith ④. AbbottabadA. ①④B. ③④C. ②③D. ①② C Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research—the mapping of all DNA in a human gene（基因）is complete. Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish. All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away. Human cloning has always been a topic of argument，in terms of morality or religion. Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial, among many cases, it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning. If the clone was free of genetic limitations. Then the other clone would be as well. The latter could foe inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term. Moreover，cloning would enable women, who can’t get pregnant, to have children of their own. Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned, so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs. This, surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single(or more) organ(s）.It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists. Arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side. Primarily, I believe that cloning would step in the normal “cycle”of life. There would be a large number of same genes., which reduce the chances of improvement，and, in turn, development-the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment. Life processes failing to do so might result in untimelydisappearance. Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappea. Thus, leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and, chances are, that those individuals would be regarded as “objects” rather than people in the society. Scientists haven’t 100 percent. guaranteed that the first cloned will be normal. Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human “gene-pool”. Regarding such arguable topics in “black or white” approach seems very innocent to me personally. We should rather try to look at all “shades: of it. I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs, not humans. Then we could regard this as for “saving life” instead of “creating life”. I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable. 9.Which of the following is true according to the passage？ A. Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women B. A large number of genes will prevent us from developing C. Prohibition of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists D. First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists 10.What’s the author’s opinion on cloning? A. Cloning should be entirely banned B. Cloning should be used in creating life C. Cloning will take away the right to reproduce D. Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs 11.Where can you read this article?A. In a story book.B. In a magazine.C. In a science fictionD. In a brochure 12.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage D “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity,” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I’ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it’s probably worth listening to. Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you’re a Chinese, you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump(树桩) for arabbit to run out and break its neck. A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It’s not about going to a temple to burn some incense(香) hopes that the gods will give you good fortune; it’s practical advice you can follow each day. Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he divided volunteers into two groups; those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why? On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message. It’s easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are “lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and don’t go through the same routine every day. I first came to China in 2002 when it was considered a rather strange thing to do. Like many foreigners, my plan was to teach English for one year. Seven years later, and still here, I’ve had many great opportunities such as writing for newspapers and magazines. I did not dream these would have been possible. I’ve also never been sick, had an accident, got into a fight or had problems with the police. Coincidence? After reading about Professor Wiseman’s studies I think not. As Wiseman advises, I usually trust my own judgment. Your friends and parents may give you advice based on rational thinking, but it’s important to consider how you feel about each choice you make. Your feeling acts as a warning for a potential problem. Finally, try to turn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English. 13. Which of the following proverbs most agrees with the writer’s point? A. Make the best of a bad job. B. Rome was not built in a day. C. All is not gold that glitters. D. A good heart conquers ill fortune. 14. What do you know about Oprah Winfrey? A. She became famous through her family background. B. She is a British talk show host. C. She became successful by her own effort. D. She was very lucky and seldom suffered setbacks in her life. 15.

A. man can conquer nature B. luck is in your own hand C. bad luck can turn into good D. you should not sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you BCCA ABBD CDBA ACD。

Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.26. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD. Current Problems in the Economy27. According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?A. Bartered foodsB. Fiat moneyC. Coin currencyD. Intangible forms28.

Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?A. They promote international trade.B. They allow very rapid money transfers.C. They are still limited to small transactions (交易).hey are dependent on good telecommunications systems.BDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. T ennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guin ness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indiannation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sandscrawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water. Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.31. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.A. part of a historical cave systemB. the biggest underground lake in the worldC. listed in the Guinness Book of World RecordsD. the largest body of water in T ennessee32. The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them33. Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A.

Many old Indian objects.35. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race courseCBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possiblypay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.36. A bank run happens when _______.A. a bank is closed for one or more daysB. too many depositors try to draw out their money at onetimeC. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank37. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________.A. explain why they could not pay out all accountsB. pay out accounts as requestedC. make the depositors believe that the bank was standD. pay out money as slowly as possible38. The main cause of a bank run is _______.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers39. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?A. She know that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.40. According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaugh t’s bank were affected mainly by the _______.A. ease with which they could get their moneyB. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC. failure of several other banks to openD. confidence shown by other depositors of the bankDOne of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probablethat by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a m ere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box ofcandy or a bunch of flowers.41. What is the main topic of this passage?A. The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem.B. Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century.C. The imporance of the American buffalo.D. Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.42. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived.B. The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips.C. The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips.D. Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel.43. The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed _______.A. in greater amounts in summerB. in greater amounts in winterC. only in summerD. only in winter44. Which of the following does the author not express surprise at?A. The children needed competitions to them.B. The buffalo chips gave off no smell.C. Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem.D. Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends.45. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Early SettlersB. One Use of the Buffalo ChipsC. Nebraska’s ProblemsD. How Young Men Express Their Love for Girls三．完型填空(每空1分, 20题, 共20分)Harriet Tubman was born a slave.

Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owners to please him.One of my friends has a large German shepherd named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a long walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much.One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time and he talked and talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn’t leave. Jack became very worried about his walk in the park. He walked around the room several times and then sat down directly in front of the visitor and looked at him, but the visitor paid no attention. He continued talking. Finally Jack couldn't stand it any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the man’s hat in his mouth.36. The dogs in general _____.A) tried hard to please his owner like other dogsB) tried hard to like his ownerC) tried hard to make his owner happyD) tried hard to make his owner please him37. Jack was the name of _____.A) one of my friends B) a dogC) a German sheep D) a German38. The dog sat down directly in front of the visitor _____.A) to look at him clearly B) to frighten himC) to listen to his talking D) because he wantedthe man to leave39. What does the word “it”in the sentence “Jack couldn’t stand it any longer” refer to?A) His walking around the room several times.B) His sitting in front of the visitor.C) His owner's visitor's staying and talking.D) His walking in the park.40. Why did the dog hold the visitor’s hat in his mouth this time?A) Because he wanted to play with the hat.B) Because he wanted to remind the visitor that he should leave.C) Because he was a friendly dog.D) Because he was angry with his owner.Passage TwoA man stayed in his house as a flood engulfed his town. Two men in a rowboat came to his house and offered to take him to safety. “No, thank you,”said the man, “God will help me.”As the waters rose, the man retreated to the second storey of his house. Now, two men in a motorboat came by and offered to rescue him. Again, the man declined, saying, “No, thank you.God will help me.”As the waters rose still higher, the man retreated again to the rooftop of his house. A helicopter came by, and someone inside it threw down a rope, urging the man to grab it and he pulled up into the helicopter. Once more, the man declined and said, “No, thank you. God will help me.” Just then a mighty voice called out to the man, “You idiot! I sent you a rowboat, a motorboat and now a helicopter. What more do you want me to do?”26. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A) A Man in Floods B) God Will Help MeC) A Town in Floods D) Different Ways to Help People out of Water27. Why didn’t the man enter the rowboat at first?A) Because he didn’t know the men in the boat.B) Because he thought he could retreat to a higher place.C) Because he was sure God would help him.D) Because he was sure he could take himself to safety.28.

He was _____.A) very faithful B) very stupidC) helpless D) uselessPassage ThreeWhen the TV viewer turns on his set, what sort of programs does he have to choose from? You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but that’s not the case. In most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. U.S. figures are high—34.8%，and the fun loving Canadians are even higher with 44%. Except Canada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information (news, documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times. In Japan though, more than 60% of broadcasting time is takenup with education of one kind of another—just another example of the businesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U.K., the figure is 56.4%. The Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They do n’t go in for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports, etc. You will find more news information programs on Italian TV than anything else. That’s understandable in a country experiencing social and political changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them what’s going on—and events are happening almost too fast to follow. The percentage of time the U.S. devoted to news and documentary programs is much smaller. After education, most TV time is given to entertainment. Many of these programs are shown around the world.41. Based on this passage, the percentage of TV broadcastinghours devoted to education is greatest in _______.A. JapanB. ItalyC. CanadaD. the United States42. More news information programs are broadcast on Italian TVthan anywhere else because the Italians _______.A. are interested in what is happening in the worldB. like to undergo social and political changesC. prefer to learn news information on TV rather than in newspapersD. expect TV to tell them the latest news about what is goingon in their country43. So far as the broadcasting hours devoted to entertainment are concerned, _______.A. the Japanese figure is the highest in the worldB. the U. S. figure is smaller than the U.K. figureC. the U.K. figure is second to the Japanese figureD. the Canadian figure is higher than that of any other country44. From this passage, we learn that most TV stations in theworld devoted more broadcasting hours to _______.A. educational programsB. entertainment programsC. news information programsD. dramas, serials, music, sports and so on45. In the United States, _______.A. TV programs are shown for world audience to watchB. most of TV broadcasting hours are given to entertainmentC. educational programs are shown during peak viewing timesD. TV broadcasting hours devoted to education are more thanthose devoted to entertainmentPassage FourCopernicus was born in Torun, Poland, on February 19, 1473. Little is known about his early life except that his father died when he was 10. An uncle adopted him, his two sisters, and his brother. The uncle saw to it that the two boys received a good education. Copernicus went to the University of Cracow. There he studied such subjects as Latin, mathematics, and astronomy. It was probably at that time that he changed his Polish name, Niklas Koppernigk, to the Latin form of Nicolaus Copernicus. In 1496 Copernicus went to Italy, where he spent the next 10 years studying at various universities.In Copernicus time people still believed that all things—the sun, the stars, and the planets—moved around the earth. It was an old belief that few men had ever questioned. Aristotle had based his theory of astronomy on this belief. Because the Church had long been the center of learning, the theory was also linked to religious beliefs.In 1506 Copernicus returned to his homeland. A few years later he began to work for the Church. All those years Copernicus carried on his work in astronomy. He had just the most basic equipment and, like other scientists of his day, madeobservations with only his eyes. Still, using mathematics and logic, Copernicus worked out a different theory, which held that the planets went around the sun.Copernicus did not announce his ideas. He did not want to make trouble. But he could not hide the scientific truth. So he talked about his theory with his friends, who strongly advised him to have his work published. His great book, On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies, appeared at the very end of his life. Copernicus saw the first copy on the day he died, May 24, 1543.31. Which of the following is TRUE about Copernicus？A. He had two brothers and a sister.B. He used to be called Niklas Koppernigk.C. He lost his father soon after he was born.D. He spent 10 years at the University of Cracow.32. From the passage we can see that Astronomy is ______.A. the life experience of great menB. the movement of the stars and the planetsC. the scientific study of natural objects in spaceD. the theories developed by scientists of old times33. Copernicus developed his theory ______.A. using various telescopesB. based on Aristotle’s beliefsC. through observations and reasoningD. under the encouragement of his friends34. The writer of the passage wants us to know that ______.A. Copernicus did not tell about his discovery until the day of his deathB. for many years Copernicus dared to do nothing openly against the ChurchC. pushed by his friends Copernicus decided to write a book in May 1543D. shortly before he got back to Poland Copernicus started to work for the Church35. Copernicus had his great book published because ______.A. he didn’t agree with AristotleB. he could not hide the scientific truthC. he worked for the churchD. his friends advised him to do soPart IV ClozeDirections:In this part, you are required to read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answerfrom the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D) . Thenmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Young people and older people do not always _46_. They always have different ideas about living, working, and playing.

Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.26. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD.

T ennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indiannation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water. Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.31.

Many old Indian objects.35. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race courseCBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possiblypay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.36. A bank run happens when _______.A. a bank is closed for one or more daysB. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank37.

She know that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.40. According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the _______.A. ease with which they could get their moneyB. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC. failure of several other banks to openD. confidence shown by other depositors of the bankDOne of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box ofcandy or a bunch of flowers.41. What is the main topic of this passage?A. The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem.B. Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century.C. The imporance of the American buffalo.D. Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.42. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived.B.

Which of the following does the author not express surprise at?A. The children needed competitions to them.B. The buffalo chips gave off no smell.C. Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem.D. Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends.45. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Early SettlersB. One Use of the Buffalo ChipsC. Nebraska’s ProblemsD. How Young Men Express Their Love for Girls三．完型填空(每空1分, 20题, 共20分)Harriet Tubman was born a slave.
