| The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat (脱帽打招呼) to the figures in the picture. Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale seum,which he founded in Philadelphia. The world's first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum's most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge,extinct elephant,which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in l801. Three of Peale's seventeen children were also famous artists. Raphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers,fruit,and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people,including one of George Washington.

| There are about a billion bicycles in the world, twice as many as there are cars. But if Karl von Drais, the Baron of Sauerbronn (1785-1851) hadn't been such a lazy person,the bicycle may never have been invented at all. Although he had a very important title (and was also a qualified and skillful engineer), the Baron was in fact a forest ranger, in other words, a gardener with responsibility for a very large garden. He was in charge of several hundred square kilometers of royal garden and forests in Central Germany. In 1817, he invented a "running machine" that would help him get round the estate more quickly. The machine was made of wood, and had two wheels, which were the same size. The machine had a wooden frame and a leather seat. The rider rode the machine like a horse,but with his feet on the ground. After running for a while, he could then take his feet off the ground and glide along. It was possible to change direction by controlling the front wheel, but there were no brakes! In 1863, a Frenchman called Pierre Lallement attached pedals (踏板) to the front wheel of a bicycle, and the modern idea of a bicycle was born. Every generation sees new designs and new interest in bicycles. Mountain bikes, for example, transformed the way people thought about cycling and introduced a new sport,which was accepted into the Olympics in 1996. New materials such as titanium and carbon fiber are now used to build strong, lightweight machines and combined brake and gear systems have been developed. Englishman Chris Boardman astonished the world in the 1990s with his carbon fiber Lotus bicycle, winning Olympic gold in the 4,000 meters track pursuit (追逐) in Barcelona. More recently, the Great Britain team took several medals at the Athens Olympics. For most people, however, the bicycle remains what it has always been-a pollution-free way of taking exercise and getting from A to B. |
| 1. The underlined word "estate" in Paragraph 3 refers to _____. |

| 2. Karl von Drais invented the first bicycle _____. |
| A. with wooden wheels and a seat, no pedals B. with two wooden wheels like a wooden horse with pedals C. so he could walk faster around the garden D. to ride downhill with his feet off the ground |
| 3. What kind of gardener does the text suggest the Baron was? |
| A. Someone who took care of forests across Germany. B. Someone responsible for a big estate of loyal forests and gardens. C. Someone responsible for the gardens in the whole of Central Germany. D. Someone who was a qualified engineer looking after running machines. |
| 4. Changes to the bicycle have occurred over the years because of _____. |

| The host poured the tea into the cup and placed it on the small table in front of his guests, who were a father and his daughter, and put the lid on the cup with a clink. Obviously thinking of something, he hurried into the inner room, leaving the thermos (热水瓶) on the table. His two guests heard a chest of drawers opening and rustling. They remained sitting in the sitting room, the ten-year-old daughter looking at the flowers outside the window, the father just about to take his cup, when the crash came, right there in the sitting room. Something was hopelessly broken. It was the thermos, which had fallen to the floor. The girls looked over her shoulder suddenly, shocked, staring. It was mysterious; neither of them had touched it, not even a little bit. True, it hadn't stood steadily when their host placed it on the table, but it hadn't fallen then. The crash of the thermos caused the host, with a box of sugar cubes in his hand, to rush back from the inner room. He looked foolishly at the steaming floor and blurted out. "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!" The father started to say something. Then he said in a low voice, "Sorry I touched it and it fell." "It doesn't matter," the host said. Later, when they left the house,the daughter said, "Daddy, did you touch it?" "No. But it stood so close to me." "But you didn't touch it. I saw your reflection in the window. You were sitting perfectly still." The father laughed. "Then how would you explain the cause of its fall?" "The thermos fell by itself. The floor is uneven. It wasn't steady when Mr. Li put it there. Daddy, why did you say that?" "That won't do,girl. It sounds more acceptable when I say I knocked it down. There are things which people accept less true it sounds." The daughter was lost in silence for a while. Then she said, "Can you explain it only this way?" "Only this way." her father said. |
| 1. Which statement is a possible main idea of this story? |
| A. People seldom tell the truth. B. You can't always make people believe the truth. C. If you try to defend yourself,people will believe you. D. People never believe others. |
| 2. It can be inferred from the story that the father _____. |
| A. didn't know Mr. Li very well B. was sorry that he hadn't told the host the truth C. didn't think Mr. Li would believe the truth D. was glad that he had told the truth |
| 3. From the story,we know that the daughter _____. |
| A. thought her father should have told the truth B. knew the thermos would fall and stepped out C. thought her father shouldn't have told the truth D. thought her father must have known the cause |
| 4. From the passage, we can see the reason why the thermos fell was that _____. |
| A. the table was too small B. the father sat too close to the thermos C. the father wanted to help himself with some water D. something impossible to explain happened |

| It is impossible not to make a mistake at some point of your life. We may as well accept that something will go wrong and we will be to blame. It is therefore sensible to work out some plans for apologizing, and the best way to apologize is by letter. This way you can take care over every word you write-which you can't do if you say sorry to someone in person. We all say or do something that we wish we hadn't said or done. You may say something that accidentally hurts someone, or you may provide a service which doesn't come up to the standards that a cheat or customer expected. You may feel that it was a mistake which couldn't be avoided. Rather than dwell on the mistake, you should quickly try to remedy (补救) the problem. An effective letter of apology is an important part of that process. For the content of the letter, just remember TABS-Timing, Action, Brevity, Sincerity. The timing of a letter of apology is crucial-it must be sent as soon as possible. Any delay in sending the letter will only compound the problem. In this case, "better late than never" is not the best motto! The longer you wait before writing a letter of apology, the more it will seem that you have been forced into writing it. Although it is important to recognize what has gone before, it is also necessary to detail the action you plan to take to rectify whatever it was you did wrong. Research has shown that some indication that you have thought about what future action you plan to take is always well received. A letter of apology should be brief and the word "sorry" should appear no more than twice. Indicate that you are aware you are using it a second time "once again, I'm so sorry for" or "as I said early, I'm so sorry about." Finally, the tone of the letter has to be sincere. In fact, all the above factors will help in this respect. And don't think that letters are out of date in the Email-oriented 21st century. An apology email can be worse than no apology at all! |
| 1. What kind of advice does the text suggest about apologizing? |
| A. It's a good idea to write a letter of apology as soon as something goes wrong. B. It's a good idea to sends several emails to apologize and show that you mean it. C. Write a long letter apologizing several times to make your point. D. Wait to see how they react to your letter before planning to do anything |
| 2. What kind of things do you NOT apologize for? |
| A. Services that are not as good as they should be. B. Genuine mistakes. C. Car accidents. D. Causing anger or hurt. |
| 3. According to the writer,you should not _____ after you have made a mistake. |
| A. waste time worrying about what happened B. write an effective letter of apology C. avoid what happened D. recognize what has gone before |
| 4. The underlined word "rectify" means _____. |
| A. to put right B. to improve C. to put aside D. to apologize |

| The average man who uses a telephone couldn't explain how a telephone works. He takes for granted the telephone, the railway train, the airplane, as our grandfathers took for granted the miracles of the gospels (福 音书里的奇迹). He neither questions nor understands them. It is as though each of us investigated and made his own only a tiny circle of facts. Knowledge outside the day's work is regarded by most men as a gewgaw (花哨无用的东西). Still we are usually in reaction against our ignorance. We excite ourselves sometimes and think deeply. We enjoy thinking about anything at all-about life after death or about such questions as is said to have puzzled Aristotle. "Why sneezing from noon to midnight was good,but from night to noon unlucky". One of the greatest joys known to man is to take such a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge. The great pleasure of ignorance is after all, the pleasure of asking questions. The man who has lost this pleasure or exchanged it for the pleasure of dogma (教义), which is the pleasure of answering,is already beginning to stiffen (僵化). One envies so inquisitive (好盘根究底) a man as Jewell, who sat down to the study of physiology in his sixties. Most of us have lost the sense of ignorance long before that age. We even become proud of our squirrel' store-house of knowledge and regard increasing age itself as a school of omniscience (无所不知). We forget that Socrates was famous for wisdom not because he was Mr. know-all but because he realized at the age of seventy that he still knew nothing. |
| 1. The underlined part "made his own" probably means "_____". |
| A. produced something by himself B. made believe by himself C. made his own way D. found out the truth by himself |
| 2. From the passage we may infer that _____. |
| A. the writer values those who often ask "why" B. the writer regards these who like asking "why" are very silly C. the writer is against the idea that one is never too old to learn D. the writer is for the idea that one should know everything |
| 3. From the passage we can see the most joyful the writer think is _____. |
| A. to master useful knowledge B. to know a great deal just as Socrates C. to seek the truth D. to learn at one's sixties |
| 4. The best title of the passage is _____. |
| A. Socrates is Ignorant to Learn B. Seeking Knowledge Makes One Happy C. To Learn the Miracles of the Gospels D. To Learn Is Asking for Trouble |
