There are several important islands in the Indian Ocean. These include Madagascar, the largest one, which is near to Africa and Srilanka, which is near India. There is also a group of islands called the Seychelle near the African coast. The Indian Ocean is especially important to the countries in Southeast Asia.

One of the biggest problems for a second language learner is the idiom. When we read a sentence in the language we are learning, we sometimes know the literal (字面上的) meaning of every word. Still, we do not understand the meaning of the sentence. As an example, the Chinese expression “Ma Shang” literally means “on horse”, but the real meaning is “right away”. In English classes, we give the name idioms to expressions such as “to take care of” and “to get rid of”. According to the dictionary, an idiom is an accepted phrase or expression that has a meaning different from the literal meaning. For example, “to catch one’s eyes” does not mean to hold on to someone’s eyeball. Rather, it means to make someone notice you. Right away this makes students feel a little discouraged. Why don’t English speakers just say what they mean instead of using other words? In t he same way Chinese use expressions like “Ma Shang”. Idioms are a natural part of American speech. We American don’t usually discuss idioms among ourselves.
61. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Idiom s－Difficult to Learn
B. English, Chinese Are the Same in Idioms
C. Idioms Are Useful
D. What Is an Idiom
62. The passage is written probably for _______
A. English speakers to learn idioms.
B. Chinese students who are learning English
C. non-English speaking people to learn English
D. second language learners all over the world
63. Which of the following is true?
A.The writer knows Chinese.
B. Idioms only appear in English.
C. According to the literal meaning of an idiom, you can guess its real meaning.
D. A sentence is difficult to understand just because there are some idioms in it.
64. There are idioms in the English language, which the writer regards as ______.
A. simple
B. tiresome
C. necessary
D. natural
65. One of the biggest problems for a second language is the _____.
A. grammar
B. voice
C. idiom
D. sentence structure

The least successful tourist on record is Mr. Nicholas Scotti who lived in San Francisco in the United States. In 1977 he decided to visit Rome in Italy because that is where his family originally came from.
He went to the airport in San Francisco and got on a plane on which was going to Italy. However, because the plane had to make a fuel stop, it landed at Kennedy Airport in New York. Thinking that he had arrived, Mr. Scotti got off and spent two days in New York, believing that he was in Rome.
While he was wandering around the city, the great traveler could not help noticing that many of Rome’s famous and ancient landmarks had disappeared. This must be due to modernization, he thought to himself.
Mr. Scotti, who spoke very little English himself, next asked a policeman the way to the bus station. Naturally he spoke to the policeman in Italian. As chance would have it, the policeman replied in Italian because he, too, was an Italian immigrant who had only arrived in America a few years earlier.
Mr. Scotti then drove round New York for twelve hours in a bus. Eventually the bus driver handed him over to another policeman. Unfortunately, this policeman did not speak Italian and Mr. Scotti got very annoyed and wanted to know why an Italian policeman could not speak Italian.
Finally, even when the policeman told him that he was not in Italy but was in New York, Mr. Scotti refused to believe him. “I can’t be in New York,” he said, “I must be in Rome. Look at the way people drive here. Only Italians can drive like that!”
66. The reason why Mr. Scotti is the least successful tourist is that _____.
A. he lacked common sense
B. he had a very bad luck
C. he was too clever to believe others
D. Italians are usually foolish
67. What happened to the plane in New York?
A. It broke down.
B. It needed repairing.
C. It needed filling up.
D. It stopped to pick up more passenger.
68. Mr. Scotti could n’t see Rome’s famous landmarks, _____.
A. which he thought wonderful
B. which made him very angry
C. which he considered reasonable
D. so he realized that he was not in Rome
69. The word “immigrant” in the fourth paragraph means _______.
A. a traveler from a foreign country
B. a person coming into a country from aboard to make their home there
C. a person who is working in a foreign country.

Professor Reason recently persuaded 35 people to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for two weeks. When he came to analyze their embarrassing errors, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groups.
One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her pet dog her ear-rings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. “People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman’s custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her ear-rings. But somehow the action got reversed (颠倒) in the programme.” About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “programme assembly failures.”
Twenty per cent of all errors were “test failures”—primarily due to not verifying the progress of what the body was doing. A man about to get his car out of the garage passed through the back yard where his garden jacket and boots were kept, put them o n—much to his surprise. A woman victim reported: “I got into the bath with my socks on.”
The commonest problem was information “storage failures”. People forgot the names of people whose faces they knew, went into a room and forgot why they were there, mislaid something, or smoked a cigarette without realizing it.
The research so far suggests that while the “central processor” of the brain is liberated from second-to second control of a well-practised routine, it must repeatedly switch back its attention at important decision points to check that the action goes on as intended. Otherwise the activity may be “captured” by another frequently and recently used programme, resulting in embarrassing errors.
73. The purpose of Professor Reason’s research is___________.
A .to show the difference between men and women in their reasoning
B. to classify and explain some errors in human actions
C. to find the causes which lead to computer failures
D. to compare computer functions with brain workings
74. Which of the following might be grouped under “programme assembly failures”?
A. A woman went into a shop and forgot what to buy.
B. A man returning home after work left his key in the lock.
C. A lady fell as she was concentrating on each step her feet were taking.
D. An old man, with his shoes on, was trying to put on his socks.
75. According to the passage, the information “storage failures” refer to ______.
A. the destruction of information collecting system
B. the elimination of one’s total memory
C. the temporary loss of part of one’s memory
D. th e separation of one’s action from consciousness

Dear Tom,
It is nice to receive your email. Now I’d like to tell you something about the Palace Museum.
The Palace Museum is also called the Forbidden City. It took 200,000 workers more than 14 years to build it. The Forbidden City was finished in 1420. As the largest museum in the world, the Palace Museum holds cultural treasures from the past 5,000 years of Chinese history. The City’s palaces have 9,999 rooms altogether.
Chinese people traditionally have thought of nine as a lucky number. Students from all over China can now visit it in groups free of charge every Tuesday. The museum is under reconstruction.
I hope you can come to China and take a look at this museum with your own eyes.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Ming

Barbara Herrera is my best friend. We’re both from Chicago, but now I live in San Francisco and Barbar a lives in Atlanta. We don’t see each other very often, but we’re in touch all the time. I often write to Barbara and tell her about all the things that are happening at the Ajax Company. I’m the office manager there. And she often writes to me about her w ork at the Valley Hospital. She’s a doctor there.
We talk on the phone once a week, either on Saturday or Sunday morning. There are also other ways we communicate with each other. Sometimes I call her on her car phone, or we send e-mail to each other. We’re really lucky. In this new age of communication, there are so many ways we keep in touch with each other. We live in different cities on different coasts, but we’re in touch all the time.。
