One day he became very ill and everyone thought he would die. They sent for a doctor, who arrived two days later and examined the sick man. The doctor asked for a pen and some paper to write down the name of the medicine. But there was no pen or paper in the village, because no one could read or write.The doctor picked up a piece of burned wood from the fire. Using the wood, he wrote the name of the medicine on the door of the house. "Get this medicine for him," he said, "and he will soon get better."Mike's family and friends did not know what to do. They could not read the strange writing. Then the village baker had an idea. He took off the door of the house, put it on his cart and drove to the nearest town. He bought the medicine and Mike was soon well again. Hewould not let anyone wash the magic words from the door.26. People in the village thought Mike would die since ____.A) he was seriously illB) he was badly woundedC) doctors could do nothing for himD) he refused to see a doctor.27.

When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation's hopes, dreams and reputation.A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world's most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention "Argentina" to someone and the chances are that he'll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup "puts Argentina on the map".Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational（失去理性的）about the World Cup, People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentinean really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But it's nice to know mat if you win, and that in one way at least your country is the best.31. What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?A) To show that Argentina is better than all others.B) To explain the importance of sports in our life.C) To prove that football is the world's most important sport.D) To describe how thousands of Scots travel to Argentina.32.

Because ___.A) it has a large number of sports fans and supportersB) it is excellent at most important sportsC) it has won the football World CupD) it has an obvious position on the map34. If a sportsman only thinks about winning, according to the passage, he will ____.A) be successful B) lose enjoyment C) be irrational D) lose heart35. What does the author think of winning international matches?A) Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as the best in all aspects.B) Nations that win international matches prove the best in one aspect at least.C) Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many'D) Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefield.Passage 4The wheel was one of man's first inventions and yet it has also proved one of the most useful. So wide and varied are the uses of wheels, in machines and vehicles of all kinds mat it is difficult to imagine what the world would be like without them. It is surprising to hear it said, therefore, that the wheel's importance will perhaps be greatly reduced by the end of the century by an invention so new as to be still unnamed.This invention is a machine that floats above any surface on a cushion of air. The cushion is formed when air is blown into the bottom of the machine. This part is shaped like a saucer turned upside down. If air is blown into the saucer, the machine rises to a height that may vary from a few inches to a few feet.Industry is already using one form of the invention to deal with heavy loads. It can lift them with ease and since there are no wheels, and therefore no friction(磨擦), they can be put into motion with the touch of a finger.The new invention, however, is having a great effect on transport. Not only does it make expensive road systems unnecessary, but also it enables vehicles to travel equally well over land or water. This unique ability to reach most destinations has given rise to the prediction that wheeled vehicles may be as uncommon at the end of this century as airplanes were at the beginning of last century.36. The first paragraph tells us that____.A) big wheels have all kinds of usesB) the wheel's usefulness hasn't been provedC) a new invention may make wheels less importantD) the wheel was man's earliest invention37. In the third paragraph, the phrase “with the touch of a finger" means_____.A) without friction B) by hand C) without difficulty D) with a hand38. The new invention works on ___________.A) water B) air C) land D) friction39. The passage tells us that the new invention_____________.A) makes it possible to travel without using roadsB) will replace wheeled vehicles in a few yearsC) will be used instead of airplanes in the near futureD) is more important for industry than for transport40. Vehicles using the new invention will probably be _____ at the end of this century.A) unique B) unnecessary C) unusual D) plentifulPart III ClozeDirections:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.
