The shopkeeper wrapped the meat in a piece of paper and the man took it home. When he unwrapped the meat, he was surprised to see some old writing on the paper.This man was in charge of the public library, so he knew a lot about old books and old writing. He realized that the paper was a page of scientific notes."Only one man wrote like that," the librarian said to himself. "It was Galileo who wrote these notes!"Who was Galileo? Galileo was a famous Italian scientist. He was a man of ideas, but he was also a man of action. He made many experiments in order to find out more about the earth and the universe. Galileo believed that scientists should not only sit in universities and talk about theory; they should also make practical experiments and learn from the results.Galileo wrote down notes of all the experiments he made. After Galileo's death in 1642, Viviani, one of his students, collected the notes together and put them into his own library. However, when Viviani died, nobody looked at Galileo's notes any longer. For many years, people forgot about them.The librarian hurried back to the market and asked the shopkeeper where he had got the paper from. The shopkeeper led him to the house where he bought the paperfrom. In the house, the librarian found many more of Galileo's notes. The family gave them to him.In this way, a large number of important notes about Galileo's experiments were saved.31.The librarian got Galileo's notes from ____.A the butcherB VivianiC a family living in Viviani's houseD the market near Viviani's house32.Which statement about Galileo is NOT true?A He was full of ideas.B He did a lot of experiments.C He was an Italian.D He gave his notes to Viviani.33.Which statement about Viviani is NOT true?A He kept Galileo's notes.B He was Galileo's student.C He passed on the notes to his daughter.D He was as famous as Galileo.34.After Viviani's death, the notes ____.A were given to one of his friendsB were left somewhere in his houseC were lostD lost its value35.It can be inferred from the story that ____.A the family was unaware that they had Galileo's notesB the librarian bought the notesC Viviani gave the notes to the familyD the shopkeeper informed the librarian of the notesPassage TwoA favorite story among acoustical (声学的) experts concerns a noisy Long Island suburb where, day and night, huge trucks thundered down a freeway, jet planes roared overhead, and a pumping station maintained a low, continuous thumping. One night all mechanical sounds stopped briefly; immediately half the people in the neighborhood awoke, sat upright, and exclaimed: "What was that?"Americans are drowned in noise, one of the unwanted and unnecessary waste products of the twentieth century. Scientists speak of noise in decibels -- units by which they measure the intensity levels of the sound waves that beat against our eardrums. The shuffling of paper in silent surroundings represents about 15 decibels;a low conversation, 40 decibels; and the sound of an automobile horn, 90 decibels. In general, sounds above 80 decibels begin to irritate the human ear. Noise also causes increased muscular tension, which at night may deprive the body of rest.Experiments have shown that 160 decibels of noise are fatal for small fur-bearing animals. Although equal exposure is not fatal to man, it may destroy hearing. Over the past thirty years the loudest sounds to which man has been exposed have increased from 120 decibels, the equivalent of the roar of a two-engine propeller plane, to 150 decibels, the blast of a four-engine jet. This is an average increase in volume of one decibel a year, and constitutes a potentially dangerous source of physical damage.36.The story about a Long Island suburb is retold in order to show that ______.A we may find it easier to fall asleep in noisy surroundingsB contrary to popular belief, mechanical sounds are bearableC nowadays suburbs are not just as quiet as we expectD noise pollution has become a very serious problem37.The author refers to noise as ______.A an undesirable waste productB an unnecessary mechanical soundC a source of mental illnessD a measurement of the intensity ofsound waves38.Noise may interfere with man's sleep by ______.A causing him to have terrible dreamsB distracting his attentionC increasing his muscular tensionD keeping him restless39.Sounds of 160 decibels may ______.A be the loudest man can imageB do physical damage to manC cause certain small animals to dieD Both B and C.40.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to ______.A draw our attention to the importance of controlling noiseB show that man has more tolerance than animals when exposed to noiseC give a brief introduction to sound measurementD illustrate that noise is a by-product of modernizationPassage ThreeIn recent years, large numbers of people are living a single life, at least temporarily, for this reason or other. However, they are often pressured to marry by their families and friends, who regard single adults as irresponsible and unfortunate.Rose and Bill talk about the frustrations and disagreements. Rose has quarreled with her family. Her parents continually ask her why she doesn’t get married and have been putting pressure on Rose to find a husband. This makes Rose angry.Bill understands how Rose feels. He has also been upset about how his friends react to his single life. His women friends usually find him dates even if he doesn’t want them. They introduce him to new people as the eligible bachelor. Sometimes Rose and Bill feel they might be better off financially if they each found a marriage partner. They know that two people living together and earning two salaries can afford more than a single person can. They also know about the income tax advantages that married couples enjoy. However, for the moment, each of them is committed to remaining single.Young people feel man pressures not to get married.

Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Little children have somehow got the impression that the definition of song is “what you hear 46 singing on the radio”. And when teachers try to 47 these children that they 48 sing, the kids just don’t see the point. Why should they struggle to perform a graceless version that only their mothers could possibly love?

Pleasure is no longer the 50 of our leisure activities; in fact no one even sees anything pleasant 51 doing something less than perfectly well. This is crazy. And it’s 52 a terrible toll. Not only 53 depriving ourselves of creative satisfaction and discouraging our children from finding joy in 54 they can do themselves, we’re also destroying our artists.
