Ⅶ．阅读理解。

(每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

(A)
Is there a strange creature(生物)high up in the world’s h ighest mountains? If so，is it a bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?
No one knows．This has puzzled the world for years．
In 1887．a mountain climber found very big footprints of a very large mail．But human beings don’t walk without shoes in the sn ow at a11．
In 1906, another climber saw more than footprints．Far off，he saw a very large animal with lots of hair standing on two legs．As he watched，it ran out of sight．
Fifteen years later，there were stories about the strange creature in the newspaper．A mountain climber said that he had seen a“snowman”walk slowly across the snow，far below him．He said it looked like a very large man．
From then on，more and more people had stories to tell．But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of big footprints．The pictures showed clearly that the“snowman”walked on two legs，so it was not a bear or a monkey．Could it be all ape man? It’s getting stranger! And the mystery keeps growing．Someday we may find out what makes the footprints．
46．The passage is about __________．
A．some mountain climbers B．some strange animals
C．some footprints D．the mystery of the“snowman”
47．Why were people interested in the footprints?
A．Because they were footprints of a large bear．
B．Because they were footpri nts of a large man in the world’s highest mountains．
C．Because they were found in the snow．
D．Because the pictures of them were taken clearly by a mountain climber．
48．The pictures of big footprints were taken by It mountain climber in __________．A．1887 B．1906 C．1921 D．1951
49．Why did the mystery grow when a mountain climber brought back pictures of big footprints? A．Because they were footprints of an ape man．
B．Because they were footprints of a snowman．
C．Because the pictures showed clearly how the“snowman”walked，
D．Because the pictures showed clearly how an ape man walked on two legs
50．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Man and animals．B．Snowman in the mountains
C．The nature．D．A great invention．
(B)
A friend of mine was fond of drawing horses．He drew horses very well，but he always began from the tail．Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse，and that is why I was surprised．It struck (给…留下深刻印象)me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly or the foot of the horse。

if he really knows his business．And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people’s rules．
They make their own rules．Everyone of them does his work in a way peculiar to himself；and the peculiarity means only that he finds it easier to work in that way．
Now the very same thing is true to literature．And the question．“How shall I begin?”only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else．That is，you are not yet experienced enough to trust your own powers．When you become more experienced you will never ask the question，and I think that you call begin at the tail—that is to say，you Can write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning．51．One of the writer’s friends drew horses ___________．
A．in the same way as others do B．in the way of western rule
C．in the way of his own rule D．all of the above
52．The writer was surprised because __________．
A．the artist began to draw at the head of the horse
B．the artist began to draw at the foot of the horse
C．the artist followed others’rules
D．the artist did not follow other people’s rules
53．You ale not yet experienced because __________．
A．you don’t know where to begin
B．you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail
C．you always ask questions
D．you do not trust your own powers
54．When you become more experienced，
A．you will still ask the question
B．you must draw beginning at the tail
C．you will never ask the question
D．you must write beginning at the end
55．The topic of the passage is“____________．”
A．how to draw a horse B．how to write a story
C．how to make friends D．trust your own powers
(C)
Have you ever noticed an advertisement that says“Learn a foreign language in six weeks．or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent．Just send…”and so on? Of course，it never happens quite like that．The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue．And think how much pratice that gets! Before the Second World War，people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature(文学)of the country．Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want．Every year millions of people start learning one．How do they do it? Some people try at home，with books anti tapes；others go to evening classes．If they use the language only two or three times a week．learning it will take a long time，like language learning at schoo1．A few people try to 1eam a 1anguage fast by studying for six or more hours a day．It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken．However，most people cannot afford this，and for many it is not necessary．They need the 1anguage in order to do
their work better．For example，scientists and doctors mainly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language．Machines and good books will help students to study foreign languages，but they are just tools of students．
56．In the advertisement．it is possible for a person to learn a foreign language in _________．A．more than two months
B．half a year
C．six months
D．less than two months
57．Before the Second World War，people learned a foreign language in order to __________．A．speak to each other

59．Most people now learn a foreign language to _________．

B．talk to foreign friends
C．go to the foreign country to learn a language well
D．try their best to work better
60．The passage tells us that ____________．
A．the more time you spend，the more quickly you’ll learn the language
B．it is possible for you to learn a foreign language by yourself
C．it is not good for you to learn a foreign language by yourself
