Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour´s flight, one of the scientists wrote in his book, "Look here for probable metal." Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain area, sent a message to other scientists on the ground, "Gold possible." Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, "This ground should be searched for metal." From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word: "Uranium." None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic power of looking down below the earth´s surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground... trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing. This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow in the surface. At Watson Bar Greek, a brook(小溪) six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory, the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it. Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds.
The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunks had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.

Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.
The most frightening words in the English language are, "Our computer is down." You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, "I´m sorry, I can´t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down. " "If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket. " "I can´t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so. " I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do?" "We give the computer the
information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not." "So when it goes down, you go down with it. " "That´s good, sir." "How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know. "I have no idea. Sometimes it´s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There´s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it´s down it won´t answer us. " After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said. "Let´s forget the computer. What about your planes? They´re still flying, aren´t they?" "I couldn´t tell without asking the computer. " "Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he´s frying to Washington," I suggested. "I wouldn´t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn´t take you if you didn´t have a ticket. " "Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?" "I wouldn´t know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only ´IT´ knows. It can´t tell me. " By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white; some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage. 第20题

Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Directions: Read the text from a magazine article in which several people expressed their different opinions on the same issue. Please match the name of each person to one of the statements given below. Hong Yu It is the same spirit that will guide, in part, our children´ s desire to serve in the military.
Whether it is tradition, idealism, heritage, spirit, or just a dream—a hope—our children may wish to join the profession of arms, their success will be dependent on their education and training while in military, as well as the support of parents, family and friends.
Our personal example and steadfastness in standing by our children, If they should choose the military, will go a long way to ensure their success. Military service opens our children to the opportunities for intellectual and professional development. If they chose the military, let us remember how we once served with pride and dignity; then let us honor and respect them for their service to our country.
Wang Ao Military life does not bring some material benefits, so perhaps you don´t intend on making the military your career. But, for the young person just out of high school, who does not really know what they want to do, the military offers other benefits.., non-material benefits that even Congress cannot touch. I´m talking about self-esteem, self-confidence, learning to be a team player and leadership training.
Chen Juan I am a father of three men, all of whom have chosen the military as their first adulthood experience without pressure from me. I simply showed them the pros and cons to military versus civilian life. We analyzed their objectives and determined what they needed to do to obtain them.
No, not everyone is cut out to be in the military or has the military as a career. But my advice to parents is to let the young man or woman decide, not you. Don´t steer them away from the military because we have lost some material benefits.
Li Shu Parents who maintain that the military today is one of eroding pay and benefits and steer their kids from this opportunity ought to re-evaluate their own career. The civilian job market is not the same one as our parents had. Look around, and you don´ t see people staying with the same company for 25 or 30 years (with vacation and sick pay, medical, dental and retirement benefits intact.)
A military career offers stability and opportunity that isn´t available to the most talented of individuals in the civilian job market. Spending 10, 15 or more years in the military and then embarking on a civilian career can be very rewarding, financially and otherwise, for the well prepared.
Peng Xue A college education is no longer the guarantee of a middle-class lifestyle. Today´s middle managers are entrepreneurial souls who are contract employees. Union jobs, with their associated benefits, are very few and far between.
The military is still the outstanding value it is advertised to be. A three to six-year enlistment period before attending college or entering the job market will put the average youngster head and shoulders above his or her peers. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements. Statements
A. Let your children make their own decision.
B. The situation today is quite different form before.
C. Do as I say, not as I do.
D. Parents´ attitude will play an important part in children´ s success.
E. As a veteran, I can not bear the thought of my own children´ s serving in the military as I did.
F. Military experience can be very valuable to young people.
G. Young people will gain many non - material benefits from military experience.

"We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not." "So when it goes down, you go down with it. " "That´s good, sir." "How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know. "I have no idea. Sometimes it´s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There´s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it´s down it won´t answer us. " After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said. "Let´s forget the computer. What about your planes? They´re still flying, aren´t they?" "I couldn´t tell without asking the computer. " "Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he´s frying to Washington," I suggested. "I wouldn´t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn´t take you if you didn´t have a ticket. " "Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?" "I wouldn´t know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only ´IT´ knows. It can´t tell me. " By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white; some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage. 第20题
