It was the perfect quote for such a momentous occasion. But from the moment he said it, people have argued about whether the NASA astronaut got his lines wrong.(61)___________________ In the tense six hours and forty minutes between landing on the Moon and stepping out of the capsule, Armstrong wrote what he knew would become some of the most memorable words in history.(62) __________________It would have been a more meaningful and grammatically correct sentence. Without the missing “a”, the inte nded meaning of the sentence is lost. In effect, the line means, “That’s one small step for mankind (or humanity), one giant leap for mankind.”(63) __________________Until his death Armstrong himself had never been sure if he actually said what he wrote. In his biography First Man he told the author James Hansen, “Imust admit that it doesn’t sound like the word “a” is there. On the other hand, certainly the “a” was intended, because that’s the only way it makes sense.(64) __________________Using hi-tech sound analysis techniques, Peter Shann Ford, an Australian computer expert has discovered that the “a” was spoken by Armstrong, but a said it so quickly that it was inaudible on the recording which was broadcast to the world.(65)__________________James Hansen said, “Neil is a modest guy, but I think it means a lot to him to know that he didn’t make a mistake.Complete the following sentences.

Suddenly he had a brilliant idea. He stopped the meeting and asked everyone present what would happen if Sony removed the recording function and speaker and sold headphone with a tape player instead. Almost everyone thought he was crazy. Still, Ibuka kept thinking about his idea and worked at refining it. The result, of course, turned out to be the wildly successful Sony Walkman.Good ideas often start with a really silly question. Bill Bowerman was breakfast onr day. As he stood there making waffles (华夫饼干) for his son, he wondered what would happen if he poured rubber into his waffle iron. Later, he tried it and the result looked something like the bottom of most sports shoes we see today. Still, when he took this .idea to several existing shoe companies, he was literally laughed at. In fact, every single company turned him down. Though rather discouraged, Bowerman persevered and went on to form his own company, making NIKE athletic shoes.Sometimes good ideas grow out of frustration. When Fred Smith was a student at Yale University, he had some paperwork that he needed to have delivered across the next day. Fred was amazed to find out that overnight delivery was impossible. He sat for a long while wondering why. Why couldn’t there be a reliable overnight mail delivery service? He decided to design one. Fred did that and turned his design into a class project. His business professor gave him only a “C” for his efforts. However, Fred was not through. He refined the idea inthat class project and eventually turned them into one of the first and most successful overnight mail services in the world-FedEx.We know today, of course, that each of these ideas led to an incredibly successful product or service that has changed the way many of us live. The best questions are usually open-ended and are often silly. Children aren’t afraid to ask such questions, but adults frequently are. Think how different the world might be if people never asked “silly” questions!Question 66-70Answer the following questions according to the passage.66. What was Ibuka doing when he thought of the brilliant idea?67. How did Sony Walkman come into being?68. How many examples are used to explain the theme of the passage? What are they?69. Why did Fred think of designing overnight delivery?70. What is the main idea of the passage?Section D (10 marks)Questions 71—75 are based on the following passage.Get Stressed, Stay YoungFor decades doctors have warned us about the dangers of stress and have given us advice about how to cut down our stress levels. Everyone agrees that long-term stress, for example, having to look after someone who has a chronic illness, or stressful situation where there is nothing we can do, or being stuck in a traffic jam, is badfor our health and should be avoided whenever possible.However, some medical experts now believe that certainkinds of stress may actually be good for us.Dr Marios Kyriazis, an anti-aging expert, claims thatwhat he calls “good stress” is beneficial to our health andmay, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and evenlive longer. Dr Kyriazis says that “good stress canstrengthen our natural defenses which protect ”us fromillnesses common among older people, such asAlzheimer’s, arthritis（关节炎）, and heart problems.He believes that “good stress”can increase theproduction f the proteins that help tp repair the body’scells, including brain cells.According to Dr Kyriazis, running for a bus and havingto work to a deadline are examples of “god stress”, whichare situations with short-term, low or moderate stress.The stress usually makes us react quickly and efficiently,and give us a sense of achievement—we did it! However, in both these situations, the stress damages the cells in our body or brain and they start to break down. But then the cells’ own repair mechanism “switches on” and it produce proteins which repair the damages cells and remove harmful chemicals that can gradually cause disease. In fact, the body’ s response is greater than is needed to repair the damage, so it actually makes the cells stronger than they were before.“As the body gets older, this self-repair mechanism of the cells starts to slow down,” says Dr Kyriazis. “The best way to keep the process working efficiently is to ‘exercise’ it, in the same way you would exercise your muscles to keep them strong. This means having a certain amount of stress in our lives.Other stressful activities that Dr Kyriazis recommends as being good stress include redecorating a room in your house over a weekend, packing your suitcase in a hurry to reach the airport on time, shopping for a dinner party during your break or programming you DVD player by following the instruction manual.Question 71-75Complete the summary with a maximum of three words from the passage.Part V Translation (15 marks)Section A (5 marks)Translate the following sentences into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.76. Chinese characters play a key role in passing on Chinese language and culture. You may not have any special feeling just by looking at them. But by writing you get closer to then and sense their cultural meanings. It is an unavoidable fact that writing ability has declined recently with the advent of keyboard and voice recognition. There are fewer opportunities for handwriting as it is more convenient and faster to type on keyboards. Overreliance on electronic input methods is eroding people’s memory for charterers.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the hints given in brackets.
