They walked without an appointment into the outer 21 of the university president. But they were not 22 in by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them, 23 that the couple would finally become 24 and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though 25 .A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a 26 face. The lady told him, “We had a son that 27 Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard, and he was 28 here. But about a year ago, unfortunately, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to 29 a memori al to him, somewhere on campus.”The president wasn’t 30 .

We have spent over ＄7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was 36 , because he thought they could be got rid of at his words.

Is it beca use they are lazy?Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758 —1843). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16th. After the Revolutionary War (1775 — 1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British versions (版本). He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” and “theatre” into “theater” f or children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.Webster wasn't a bit shy about expressing his opinions. While in defining (定义) “preposterous” (unreasonable), he wrote: “A Republican government in the hands of females is preposterous.”Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.“He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a biography (传记) about Webster. “He at last bonded (联合) us through our language. ”41. According to the passage, when he worked on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of thefollowing EXCEPT ______.A. dropping “u” in all the British wordsB. changing “centre” into “center”C. adding some local wordsD. voicing his opinion bravely42. Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?A. Because he wanted to make English simpler and easier.B. Because he wanted American English to have its own characteristics.C. Because he wanted to achieve political freedom in this way.D. Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.43. Which of the following word can best describe Noah Webster’s work?A. InterestingB. BoringC. UnfinishedD. Meaningful44. Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?A. Webster's English dictionaryB. American language identityC. The shaper of American EnglishD. The differences between the two languagesBMachines in the home have a short history. Sewing machines, washing machines and tumble dries are common enough today, but a hundred years ago, few people could even imagine such things. However, inventors have designed and built a wide range of household machines since then. In most cases the inventor tried to patent his machine, to stop anyone copying it. If the machine became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money.In 1790 the first sewing machine was patented. The inventor was an Englishman called Thomas Saint. There was nothing to match his machine for forty years, and then someone built a similar device. He was a Frenchman, Bartelemy Thimonier. Neither of these early machines worked very well, however. It wasn’t until 1846 tha t an inventor came up with a really efficient sewing machine. He was an American, Elias Howe and his machine was good enough to beat fiveskilled sewing women. He didn’t make much money from it, however. The first commercially successful sewing machine was patented by Isaac Singer five years later.Today, we take washing machines for granted, but there was none before 1869. The revolving drum (旋转桶) of that first machine set a pattern for the future, but it was crude by today’s standards. The drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort. Eight years passed before someone produced an electric washing machine. The world had to wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes. The first spin-drier was another American invention, patented in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines were widely used.It was yet another American, called Bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper. He patented t he original machine back in 1876. It didn’t pick up dirt very well, but it was quicker than a dustpan and brush. Thirty-six years later, even the carpet sweeper was old-fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner with an electric motor to suck the dust.45. Inventors patent the inventions so as to ______.A. produce more new machinesB. avoid being copied by othersC. make the inventions more popularD. make more money46. According to the article, modern inventors ______.A. followed the pattern of the first revolving drum but improve it muchB. only imitated the first washing machineC. powered the first ever-made washing machine by electricityD. had to wait for the first spin-drier for a long time47. The underlined word “crude” in paragraph 3 means ______.A. quite uselessB. ugly-lookingC. much tougherD. not skillfully made48. The article mainly tells us about ______.A. the great inventors in the worldB. the important inventions in the worldC. the short history of household machinesD. the importance of the machines used in the homeCWhen a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from, so it seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer practiced by all the people. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.Firstly, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行).Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs.Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is not the reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than by ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, thatdoes not take away the moral goodness of the giver.49. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Moral deeds of most people.B. Religious activities in the society.C. Moral goodness of the giver.D. Arguments on giving to beggars.50. What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.B. There some people not willing to do what was morally right before.C. We don’t meet with those who need others’ help any more.D. Now it is the government that has the duty to help the beggars.51. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars want money for their schooling.C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.52. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks it hard to reach any final conclusion, because .A. the cases can be so differentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different argumentsDThere seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with others. In societies where social roles are rigidly (严格地) determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is important about the history of toys is not how much they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in skilled workmanship and technology. It is the universality (普遍性) of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence (持久性) to the present that is surprising. In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Changes depended on local customs and ways of life because toys copy their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have no technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of rise. The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3000 BC to one used by a baby today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.53. One side of “the universality of toys” lies in the fact that .A. the basic characteristics of toys are the same in the worldB. technological advances have greatly improved some toysC. the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new toysD. there is no improvement of skilled workmanship in making toys54. Which of the following is the author’s view on the historical development of toys?A. Toys are playing a more important role in shaping a child’s character.B. The toy industry has developed greatly in technology in recent years.C. The skilled workmanship in toy-making has still remained unchanged.D. Toys have remained basically the same through the centuries.55. Regarded as a king of art form, toys .A. reflect the pace of social progressB. are not distinguished by skill progressC. follow a direct line of developmentD. also attract some adults greatly56. The author uses the example of “a rattle” to show that .A. it takes a long time to bring new technology into toy-makingB. even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technologyC. even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the timeD. in toy-making there is a continuity in the use of materialsEIf you and your friends wish to share a secret, you can write it in code, and no one else will be able to read it. Codes are one way of writing in secret. Ciphers (暗码) are another. In a code, each word is written as a secret word or number. In a cipher each letter is changed.Codes and ciphers have played an important role in the history of the world. Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler who defeated almost all the countries in Europe about 2,000 years ago, used a cipher when he sent secret messages to his troops. During the American Revolution, George Washington’s spies used a kind of code to send him information about the enemy before his military (军事的) action. In World W ar II, the Americans “broke”, or “figured out”, Japan’s most important navy codes and got enough information to destroy a powerful Japanese fleet.Storekeepers use codes to mark their goods. The codes show how much was paid for the goods or when they were added to the stock (商品). Businessmen use codes to hide plans from their business enemies. Sometimes personal letters or diaries are written in code. Many people enjoy figuring out codes and ciphers simply as a hobby.In the 16th century, codes and ciphers were very popular among scientists. They wrote messages to each other in this way, so that no one else would learn their secrets. Geronimo Gardano, an Italian astrologer (星相家), mathematician, and doctor, invented the trellis cipher. He took two sheets of paper and cut exactly the same holes in each one. Then he sent one sheet, which he called “a trellis”, to a friend and kept the other for himself. Whenever he wanted to write a message, he put his trellis over a clean sheet of paper and wrote the secret message through the holes. Then he removed the trellis and filled the rest of the paper with words that would make sense. When his friend received it, he put his trellis over the writing and read the secret message.57. The best title of this passage is .A. Codes and CiphersB. Differences between Codes and CiphersC. History of Codes and CiphersD. Inventors of Codes and Ciphers58. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Ciphers can be broken or figured out more easily than codes.B. You could read some wo rds in Geronimo’s letter without his trellis.C. The first person who ever used a cipher in history was Julius Caesar.D. Fondness of using codes was the hobby of the scientists in the 16th century.59. According to Geronimo Cardano, a trellis is .A. a piece of paper with many small holesB. a secret message with a lot of small holesC. a letter with unreadable words and sentencesD. a sheet of paper with groups of Arabic figures60. It is NOT mentioned in the passage that codes and ciphers are used for the purpose of .A. military affairsB. commercial secretsC. scientific achievementsD. personal enjoyment阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项 (A 、B 、C 、D 、E 和F )中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，The people below are all looking for a hotel in Scotland for their holidays.

CThis hotel in the trees is famous in the world. People, who know very little about Kenya, know of Treetops. When King George VI died, Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops, and when she came down from there, “She succeededhim as the queen of the country”. Th is hotel in the middle of the forest shows the pleasure of Africa. When you visit it, you will be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses, and then a guide, with a gun to protect you against big game, will go with you to the Treetops. Before and after dinner, for the whole night if you wish, you can sit on the corridor (走廊), watching animals come to the water pool. The earliest hotel Treetops was built round a large tree on the opposite side of th e water, but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel Treetops, which is built round several trees, is much bigger.The dining room at Treetops is small, and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests, a clever “railway service” has been invented. Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them, along a line in the center of the table.There are many animals around the Treetops. When you visit them, you can see:— Animals and their babies are waiting to greet the guests.— Animals, enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight.— A long bodied, long ring tailed very active cat-like animal is a special one coming out at night.He hunts and eats anything he can overpower, and his teeth and claws can do you harm.— Some other animals that have a thick coating of fur to keep them warm in the cold forest nights.— Many buffaloes (水牛) coming near to the Treetops for water and salt during the day or night.【小题1】In Paragraph One, “succeeded” means ______.A．did what she was trying to doB．gained her purposeC．got a position on the death of the KingD．completed a difficult task【小题2】Which of the following description about “the cat-like animal” is NOT true?A．It comes for food only at night.B．It lives in the trees at Treetops.C．Its teeth and claws can do people harm.D．It can catch any other animal in the forest.【小题3】According to the passage. Treetops is famous in the world because ______. A．it can show the pleasure of Americans living in AfricaB．Princess Elizabeth got to the crown when coming down from thereC．they are built round several trees to provide adventures for visitorsD．there are many animals that can be trained and become lovely pets【小题4】We can learn from the passage, that the guests ______.A．should not play games on the TreetopsB．could enjoy their dinner as usualC．could not sit on the corridor at nightD．should keep off the cat-like animals2.With the software product sales ____, the medium-sized IT companies are having a great time.A．jumpingB．addingC．raisingD．developing3.短文改错：（共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误，对标有题号的每一行做出判断：如无错误，在该行右行横线画一个勾（√）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉,在该行右边横在线写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。

Indeed ,the Egyptians began sending lettersfrom about 2000 BC, as did the Chinese a thousand years later.Of course ,modern postal services now are much more developed andfaster ,depending as they do on cars and planes for delivery .Yet they arestill too slow for some people to send urgent documents（紧急文件）and letters.The invention of the fax（传真）machine increased the speed of delivering documents even more .When you send a fax ,you are sending a copy of a piece of correspondence to someone by telephone service .It was not until the early1980s that such a service was developed enough for businesses to be able tofax documents to each other.The fax service is still very much in use when copies of documents require to be sent ,but ,as a way of fast correspondence, it has been largely takenthe place of by email. Email is used to describe messages sent from one computer user to another.There are advantages and disadvantages with emails. If you send someone an email, then he will receive it extremely quickly. Normal postal services are rather slow as far as speed of delivery is concerned.However ,if you write something by email ,which you might laterregret ,and send it immediately ,there is no chance for second thoughts. At least ,if you are posting a letter you have to address and seal（封）the envelope and take it to the post box .There is plenty of time to change your mind. The message is think before you email!41．We can learn from the text that .A．email is less popular than the fax serviceB．the postal service has over the years become fasterC．the postal service has over the years become slowerD．the fax service has a history as long as the postal service does42．It can be inferred from the text that .A．the fax service had been fully developed by the 1980sB．letters have been used in China for about 1,000 yearsC．the fax machine was invented after the 1980sD．letters have been used in Egypt for about 2,000 years43．In the last paragraph ,the writer mentions “think before you email” to show that .A．you may regret if you don’t seal your envelopeB．you may regret before you send something by emailC．you’d better not send your email in a hurryD．you need plenty of time to send an email44．The text mainly deals with .A．the progress in correspondenceB．the advantage of fax machinesC．the advantage of emailsD．the invention of fax machinesBLONDON Thursday July 26 (Reuters)—Eddy missed his girlfriend Anna so much he flew back to Britain from Australia to propose（求婚）to her. The problemis she did the same in the opposite direction.He and Anna even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights.Anna ,heartbroken when she arrived at Eddy’s Sydney flat to find he had flown to London ,told The Times: “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us.”“He is the most romantic person I have ever known .I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive（冲动的）people. We are always trying to surprise each other.”After an 11,000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Eddy’s astonished roommate asking what she was doing there.Eddy, a 27-year-old engineer ,had taken a year off to travel round Australia .But he was missing Anna ,a 26-year-old secretary, so much he got a job on a Sydney building site（工地）and started saving for a surprise.He then flew home to Britain and went to her flat armed with an engagement （订婚）ring, wine and flowers.“I really missed Anna and I’d been thinking about her all the time. I was so excited when she phoned me from Australia,” he said.Eddy then asked Anna to marry him on the phone. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted,” she said.Anna was given a tour of Sydney by Eddy’s friends before going backhome .Eddy had to stay in Britain for two weeks because he could not change his ticket.45．What does the last sentence of the first paragraph tell us?A．Anna flew to Britain from Australia to marry him.B．Anna flew to Australia from Britain to marry him.C．Anna flew to Britain from Australia to propose to him.D．Anna flew to Australia from Britain to propose to him.46．The underlined word “miss” in paragraph 2 most probably means .A．escape from B．fail to understand C．fail to meetD．long to see47．Eddy got a job on a Sydney building site because he .A．wanted to travel round Australia B．needed money to pay his daily cost C．was an engineer at this building site D．hoped to make money from this job48．Which of the following is TRUE about Eddy and Anna according to the text?A．Eddy proposed to Anna on the phone and Anna accepted.B．Anna stayed in Australia waiting for Eddy’s arrival.C．Anna had a good time touring Sydney with Eddy.D．Eddy met Anna in the airport waiting room by chance.CIf you’re like most students , you probably read both at home and outside your home: perhaps somewhere on your schoolyard and maybe even at work during your breaks. Your reading environment can have a great effect on your understanding ,so give some thought to how you can create（营造）or choose the right reading environments. The right environment allows you to stay alert（专注的）and to keep all of your attention on the text, especially when it is both interesting and difficult.When you’re at home ,you can usually create effective conditions for reading. You might want to choose a particular place— a desk or table, for example –where you always read .Make sure the place you choose is welllighted ,and sit in a chair that requires you to sit straight. Reading in a chair that’s too soft and comfortable is likely to make you sleepy! Keep your active reading tools (pens ,markers ,notebooks or paper) and a dictionary close at hand.Before you sit down for a reading period ,try to reduce all possible interruptions. Turn off your phone, the television, and the radio. Tell your family members or roommates that you’ll be busy for a while .If necessary, put a “Do not disturb” sign on your door! The more interruptions you must deal with while you read, the harder it will be to keep your attention on the task at hand.49．The author believes that the right reading environment __________.A．helps readers a little in their reading tasksB．helps readers a lot in their reading tasksC．can only be created at one’s homeD．can only be created outside one’s home50．Which type of the following interruptions is mentioned in the text?A．Dictionaries. B．Paper. C．Phone calls. D．Notebooks. 51．What would be the best title for the text?A．How to Read FastB．Creating an Effective Reading EnvironmentC．The Ways to Reduce Possible InterruptionsD．What to ReadDIn many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people has increased rapidly in recent years. Sadly, not everyone in these countries isso fortunate and many people in rich countries are homeless.The reasons for homelessness are various, but poverty(贫穷) is undoubtedly one of the main causes. The homeless people may have become jobless and then been unable to pay their rent and so no longer have a roof over their heads. Often, the fact that unemployed people get help from the government prevents this from happening, but not always.Some homeless people are mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young people who, for one reason or another, have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of them have had a serious disagreement with their parents and have left home, choosing to go to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have taken such action because they have been unable to get on with a step-parent.Many homeless people get into the habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the police, being accused(指控), whether rightly or wrongly, of forceful begging. There are many who disrespect homeless people.Some cynics(愤世嫉俗的人) declare that homeless people choose to live the life which they lead. But who would willingly choose to live in a shop doorway, under a bridge or in a cardboard box?52．According to the text, what causes some people to be homeless?A．Lack of money. B．The increased standard of living.C．No government help. D．Agreement with their parents.53．It can be inferred from the text that _________.A．the homeless are willing to live under a bridge or in a cardboard box B．you will not find homeless people in countries with a high standard of livingC．the mentally ill live on the streets because they want the company of other homeless peopleD．the unemployed who receive help may still be among the homeless54．In paragraph 2, “a roof over their heads” most probably means _________.A．a cap B．a car C．a home D．a covering55．The author thinks that the homeless people are .A．pitiful B．troublesome C．respectable D．admirableEAmong rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.In most countries and at most times in history, as people have becomericher they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over thelast fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards (回报) to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United Sates also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per hour is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often getlost in its interest. It is too early to explain thedifferent trends (趋势) in happiness over time in different countries. But itis a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance (平衡)?56．From the text we know that the author ___________.A．believes that longer working hours is betterB．prefers shorter working hours to longer onesC．says nothing certain about which pattern is betterD．thinks neither of the patterns is good57．Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?A．Spain. B．France. C．Germany. D．America.58．In the last paragraph, the underlined word “which” refers to __________.A．family life B．situations C．other values D．trends59．What message can we get from the text?A．The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.B．Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.C．People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.D．Americans are happier than Europeans.60．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Americans and Europeans. B．Staying at Home.C．Work and Productivity. D．Work and Happiness.F任务型阅读：阅读下列材料, 从所给的六个选项(A、Ｂ、Ｃ、Ｄ、Ｅ、和F) 中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

For hours, the secretary took no notice of them, 23 that the couple would finally become 24 and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though 25 .A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a 26 face. The lady told him, “We had a son that 27 Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard, and he was 28 here. But about a year ago, unfortunately, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to 29 a memori al to him, somewhere on campus.”The president wasn’t 30 .

Is it beca use they are lazy?Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758 — 1843). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16th. After the Revolutionary War (1775 — 1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British versions (版本). He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” and “theatre” into “theater” f or children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.Webster wasn't a bit shy about expressing his opinions. While in defining (定义) “preposterous” (unreasonable), he wrote: “A Republican government in the hands of females is preposterous.”Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.“He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a biography (传记) about Webster. “He at last bonded (联合) us through our language. ”41. According to the passage, when he worked on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of thefollowing EXCEPT ______.A. dropping “u” in all the British wordsB. changing “centre” into “center”C. adding some local wordsD. voicing his opinion bravely42. Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?A. Because he wanted to make English simpler and easier.B. Because he wanted American English to have its own characteristics.C. Because he wanted to achieve political freedom in this way.D. Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.43. Which of the following word can best describe Noah Webster’s work?A. InterestingB. BoringC. UnfinishedD. Meaningful44. Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?A. Webster's English dictionaryB. American language identityC. The shaper of American EnglishD. The differences between the two languagesBMachines in the home have a short history. Sewing machines, washing machines and tumble dries are common enough today, but a hundred years ago, few people could even imagine such things. However, inventors have designed and built a wide range of household machines since then. In most cases the inventor tried to patent his machine, to stop anyone copying it. If the machine became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money.In 1790 the first sewing machine was patented. The inventor was an Englishman called Thomas Saint. There was nothing to match his machine for forty years, and then someone built a similar device. He was a Frenchman, Bartelemy Thimonier. Neither of these early machines worked very well, however. It wasn’t until 1846 tha t an inventor came up with a really efficient sewingmachine. He was an American, Elias Howe and his machine was good enough to beat five skilled sewing women. He didn’t make much money from it, however. The first commercially successful sewing machine was patented by Isaac Singer five years later.Today, we take washing machines for granted, but there was none before 1869. The revolving drum (旋转桶) of that first machine set a pattern for the future, but it was crude by today’s standards. The drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort. Eight years passed before someone produced an electric washing machine. The world had to wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes. The first spin-drier was another American invention, patented in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines were widely used.It was yet another American, called Bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper. He patented t he original machine back in 1876. It didn’t pick up dirt very well, but it was quicker than a dustpan and brush. Thirty-six years later, even the carpet sweeper was old-fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner with an electric motor to suck the dust.45. Inventors patent the inventions so as to ______.A. produce more new machinesB. avoid being copied by othersC. make the inventions more popularD. make more money46. According to the article, modern inventors ______.A. followed the pattern of the first revolving drum but improve it muchB. only imitated the first washing machineC. powered the first ever-made washing machine by electricityD. had to wait for the first spin-drier for a long time47. The underlined word “crude” in paragraph 3 means ______.A. quite uselessB. ugly-lookingC. much tougherD. not skillfully made48. The article mainly tells us about ______.A. the great inventors in the worldB. the important inventions in the worldC. the short history of household machinesD. the importance of the machines used in the homeCWhen a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from, so it seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer practiced by all the people. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.Firstly, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行).Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs.Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is not the reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than by ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.49. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Moral deeds of most people.B. Religious activities in the society.C. Moral goodness of the giver.D. Arguments on giving to beggars.50. What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.B. There some people not willing to do what was morally right before.C. We don’t meet with those who need others’ help any more.D. Now it is the government that has the duty to help the beggars.51. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars want money for their schooling.C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.52. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks it hard to reach any final conclusion, because .A. the cases can be so differentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different argumentsDThere seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with others. In societies where social roles are rigidly (严格地) determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is important about the history of toys is not how much they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in skilled workmanship and technology. It is the universality (普遍性) of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence (持久性) to the present that is surprising. In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Changes depended on local customs and ways of life because toys copy their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have no technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of rise. The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3000 BC to one used by a baby today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.53. One side of “the universality of toys” lies in the fact that .A. the basic characteristics of toys are the same in the worldB. technological advances have greatly improved some toysC. the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new toysD. there is no improvement of skilled workmanship in making toys54. Which of the following is the author’s view on the historical development of toys?A. Toys are playing a more important role in shaping a child’s character.B. The toy industry has developed greatly in technology in recent years.C. The skilled workmanship in toy-making has still remained unchanged.D. Toys have remained basically the same through the centuries.55. Regarded as a king of art form, toys .A. reflect the pace of social progressB. are not distinguished by skill progressC. follow a direct line of developmentD. also attract some adults greatly56. The author uses the example of “a rattle” to show that .A. it takes a long time to bring new technology into toy-makingB. even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technologyC. even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the timeD. in toy-making there is a continuity in the use of materialsEIf you and your friends wish to share a secret, you can write it in code, and no one else will be able to read it. Codes are one way of writing in secret. Ciphers (暗码) are another. In a code, each word is written as a secret word or number. In a cipher each letter is changed.Codes and ciphers have played an important role in the history of the world. Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler who defeated almost all the countries in Europe about 2,000 years ago, used a cipher when he sent secret messages to his troops. During the American Revolution, George Washington’s spies used a kind of code to send him information about the enemy before his military (军事的) action. In World W ar II, the Americans “broke”, or “figured out”, Japan’s most important navy codes and got enough information to destroy a powerful Japanese fleet.Storekeepers use codes to mark their goods. The codes show how much was paid for the goods or when they were added to the stock (商品). Businessmen use codes to hide plans from their business enemies. Sometimes personal letters or diaries are written in code. Many people enjoy figuring out codes and ciphers simply as a hobby.In the 16th century, codes and ciphers were very popular among scientists. They wrote messages to each other in this way, so that no one else would learn their secrets. Geronimo Gardano, an Italian astrologer (星相家), mathematician, and doctor, invented the trellis cipher. He took two sheets of paper and cut exactly the same holes in each one. Then he sent one sheet, which he called “a trellis”, to a friend and kept the other for himself. Whenever he wanted to write a message, he put his trellis over a clean sheet of paper and wrote the secret message through the holes. Then he removed the trellis and filled the rest of the paper with words that would make sense. When his friend received it, he put his trellis over the writing and read the secret message.57. The best title of this passage is .A. Codes and CiphersB. Differences between Codes and CiphersC. History of Codes and CiphersD. Inventors of Codes and Ciphers58. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Ciphers can be broken or figured out more easily than codes.B. You could read some wo rds in Geronimo’s letter without his trellis.C. The first person who ever used a cipher in history was Julius Caesar.D. Fondness of using codes was the hobby of the scientists in the 16th century.59. According to Geronimo Cardano, a trellis is .A. a piece of paper with many small holesB. a secret message with a lot of small holesC. a letter with unreadable words and sentencesD. a sheet of paper with groups of Arabic figures60. It is NOT mentioned in the passage that codes and ciphers are used for the purpose of .A. military affairsB. commercial secretsC. scientific achievementsD. personal enjoyment阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F )中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，The people below are all looking for a hotel in Scotland for their holidays.
