ABill Javis took over our village news-agency at a time of life when most of us only want to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at six a.m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his door-stepbefore that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometime in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doormat, and at 4 o’clock Bill reopened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.”I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.31. Bill Javis became a news-agent when ________.A. he needed the money.B. he decided to take things easyC. he was quite an old manD. he gave up clock-repairing32. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because ________.A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to workB. the shop had to be open when the morning papers cameC. he was never sure of timeD. it was then that he did a lot of business33. On that sunny afternoon, the writer was surprised when he saw Bill because _______.A. he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishingB. he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at allC. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strangeD. Bill stayed in his flat34. From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?A. The bell was; it must have gone off at the wrong time.B. Bill was; he had dropped off to sleep.C. The writer’s watch was ; it went fast.D. Bill’s clock was ; it was old.BHow the iron of tomorrow (the first Self Clean Iron) can change your lifestyle today?General Electric introduces the iron of tomorrow. The iron can clean itself inside where irons get dirty. Because it cleans itself each and every time you empty it.How? With a push of a magic blue button.The magic blue buttonThe first thing you'll notice that's different about this iron is the blue button on the side. It's marked “Self Clean”. Push this blue button, and you can wash out loose mineral deposits that remain and block up inside. Push this button, and you’ve made life a lot easier.Less chance of brown spotsSure, Self Cleaning Iron is going to cut down on brown spots. (Those ugly spots that happen on nice, cleanly pressed clothes.) Because a Self Cleaning Iron becomes clean each time you press that magic bluebutton.Steams much longerCommon sense tells you that if you've an iron that blocks less often it has to stay younger for a long period of time. In other words, it steams much longer. That’s another joy of owning General Electric’s Self Cleaning Iron.What does it mean to you?Today you are doing so much more than just running a house and running after the kids. You're working. You're going to school. It's all part of your lifestyle. The iron can change that lifestyle. By giving you less trouble before you iron. If we can make it easier for you to be a better wife, a better mother, a better house-maker, we want to. The new Self Cleaning Iron is another one of Home-Makers from General Electric.Life-style. We're with yours. GENERAL ELECTRIC.35.

And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! So in orde r for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation — or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel —private rooms, meals, bar s. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views — of Earth and space — and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity — including sports and other activities that make use of this.The hotels themselves will vary greatly — from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structures at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as late as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expec ted launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Lu ckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar witha window looking down at the turning Earth below.Of course all good things have come to an end, unfortunately. And so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back though you’ll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again — or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.39. When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because _____.A. it is expensive to travel in spaceB. they would find the possible life in other star systemsC. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotelsD. they want to realize the full potential of tourism40. Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?A. The gravitational pull.B. The special views.C. The relaxation in a bar.D. The space walk.41. Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?A. When was the space traveling made possible?B. What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer?C. Why were there not many published designs for space hotels?D. How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels?42. This passage is mainly about ________.A. traveling in spaceB. the ways of living in space hotelsC. zero gravity and space hotelsD. the description of space hotelsDUS researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently, increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the Red planet hosted life.The lake, which dates back some 3.4 billion years, appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1,500 feet deep, said the team from the University of Colorado."This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars," said Boulder's research associate, Gaetano Di Achille, in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Research Letters."The identification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake, which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago."Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon (溪谷) in which it was found, which then opened out into a valley depositing (使淤积) sediment (沉积) which formed a delta (三角洲)."Finding shorelines is a great discovery to us," said assistant professor Brian Hynek, adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch, about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago.The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years, according to the study.Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life.43. The size of the lake found on Mars is ______.A. 80 square milesB. 1,500 square milesC. 3.4 billion square milesD. 300 million square miles44. When the lake existed, the weather on Mars was ____.A. hot and wetB. wet and warmC. cold and dryD. cold and wet45. Why do scientists think deltas near the lake may hold secrets about past life on Mars?A. Because similar places on Earth have become natural deposits of markers of life.B. Because someone has put secrets about past life on Mars there.C. Because past life has been found in other deltas on Mars.D. Because some people are said to have already seen life marks there.46. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Noachan epoch was a wet and warm era.B. The lake might have existed 3.4 billion years.C. The discovery can’t fully prove that the Mars once hosted life.D. The lake traces prove that there exists life on Mars now.EHolidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some ’ this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down lo four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.47. The passage is probably written by _________.A. an experienced teacherB. a working parentC. an inspired studentD. a city council member48. The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to _________.A. environmentsB. holidaysC. wagesD. benefits49. The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students_________ .A. obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costsB. get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in schoolC. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environmentD. have more school days to receive free school meals50. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their childrenB. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried outC. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real "down time"D. some school staff will say “ No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday四：补全对话（共5 小题每题2 分，共10 分）—— You look worried this evening, dear. 51_______________——I’m going through the telephone bill.
