For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said:“Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, lide many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husba nd tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her a nd say:“Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Ev erything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping a nd had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea a nd went towards the cash-desk.. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approachher.“Madam,” he said, holding out his ha nd,“I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer a nd everything you have in your basket is free!”51.The housewives learnt about the offer of free goods .A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper52.Mrs.Edwards .A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily53.Mrs.Edwards’s husba nd tried to .A. make her unhappyB. cheer her upC. buy things with herD. stop her buying things54.Mrs.Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to .A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping55.Mrs.Edwards must have been .A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day ,we have all been told , a nd told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 a nd 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast , however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that , for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,”said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, a nd most of the recent work involves children , not adults,“The literature”, says one reaearch er , Dr, Erresto at the University of Texas ,“is poor”.56. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is .A. the year the author wrote the articleB.1997C. any year between 1977 a nd 1983D.198357.For those who do not take breakfast ,the good news is that .A .several studies have been done in the past few yearsB. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healtyC. adults have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health58.“… nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means .A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB. not giving people breakfast improve performanceC. having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD. people having breakfast do improve their performance59.The wore “literature”in the last sentence refers to .A. stories , poems, play, etc .B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the moden literature of America60.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that .A. breakfast does not affect performanceB. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage ThreeBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors(储户) not to dema nd payment all at the same time .If depositors should come to fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day .If they did ,the ba nd could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it .Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced .One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, a nd so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on ha nd to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on dema nd. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank a nd on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone .People began to push a nd then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right a nd could pay all depositors, drew their own miney from the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.61.A bank run happens when_____.A. a book is closed for one or more days.B. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank62.

She knew that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank..C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.65. According to the passage ,the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the ____.A. ease with which they could get their moneyB. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC. failure of several other banks to openD. confidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourThe energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction ,a nd only a minute part of it falls on the earth .Even so , it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower(马力)per square mile perday ;the sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in a year .At present , we use this energy indirectly , a nd it is our final source of power . Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousa nds of years ago . Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine . Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating effects of the sun in different places . Some day ,through chemistry or some type of solar engine , we shall harness this great source of energy more directly . Already a scientist has worked out an engine , surprisingly efficient , in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a rube of water to create steam .66. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?A.100% but indirectlyB.5%C. 50%D. only a very tiny amount67. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that ____.A. only a very small part is availableB. the sun is too distant from the earthC. it takes thousa nds if years for this energy to be stored up in coal a nd oilD. our scientific knowledge is not sufficient68. Which of the following statements is NOT true ?A. Even windmill’s action depends on the sunB. The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of ..C. Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.D. The sun produces different heating effects in different places.69. In order to support this argument , the writer gives the example that____.A. a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developedB. the sun is our final source of powerC. man uses only a tiny part of the sun’s e nergyD. the part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly70. This passage centers mainly on_____.A. harnessing energy through chemistryB. our last source of powerC. how water power is producedD. the amount of solar energy that can be utilizedPart V Cloze (20points)Directions : There are 20 blanks in the following passage . For each blank there are four choices marked A , B , C a nd D below the passage . You should choose the one that best fits into the passage . Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with single line through the center .From childhood to old age , we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves a nd the world about us . When humans first 71 , they were like newbornchildren ,unable to use this 72 tool .Yet once language developed , the possibilities for human kind’s future 73 a nd cultural growth increased .Many linguists believe that evolution is 74 for our ability to produce a nd use language . They 75 that our highly evolved brain provides us 76 an innate language ability not found in lower 77 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 78 for language is inborn ,but that language itself develops gradually , 79 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood . Therefore there are critical 80 times for language development .Current 81 of innateness theory are mixed ,however ,evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable . 82 , more a nd more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 83 grades . Young children often can learning several language by being 84 to them ,while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 85 of their first language have become firmly fixed .86 some aspects of language are undeniable innate ,language dose not develop automatically in a vacuum . Children who have been 87 from other human beings do not possess language . This demonstrates that 88 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development . Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 89 than any innate capacities . These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior . 90 ,children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations a nd negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.71. A. generated B. evolved C. born D. originated72.
