| Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends. My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult,I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard. On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions. Gone was my father's critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before? The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I'm at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I'm delighted with my new friend. My dad in his new home in Arizona is back to me from where he was. |

| The first people who gave names to hurricanes were those who knew them best-the people of Puerto Rico. The small island of Puerto Rico is in the West Indies, off the coast of Florida. This is where all the hurricanes begin that strike the east coast of the United States. Often they pass near Puerto Rico or cross it on their way north. The people of Puerto Rico expect some of these unwelcome visitors every year. Each one is named after the Saint's Day on which it arrives. Two of the most destructive storms were the Santo Ana in 1840 and the San Ciriaco in 1899. Giving girls' names to hurricanes is a fairly new idea. It all began with a story called"Storm", written by George Stewart in 1941. In it a weatherman amused himself by naming storms after girls he knew. He named one Maria. The story describes how Maria grew and developed, and how she changed the lives of people when she struck the United States. Weathermen of the U.S. Army and Navy used the same system during World WarⅡ. They were studying weather conditions over the Pacific Ocean. One of their duties was to warn American ships and planes when a storm was coming. Whenever they spotted one, they gave it a girl's name. The first one of the year was given a name beginning with [A]. The second one got a name beginning with [B]. They used all the letters from A to W, and still the storms kept coming. They had to use three lists from A to W to have enough names to go around. This was the first list of hurricane names that followed the alphabet. It served as a model for the system the Weather Bureau (局) introduced in 1942. Before 1950 the Weather Bureau had no special system for naming hurricanes. When a hurricane was born down in the West Indies, the Weather Bureau simply collected information about it. It reported how fast the storm was moving and where it would go next. Weather reports warned people in the path of the hurricane, so that they could do whatever was necessary to protect themselves. This system worked out fine as long as weather reports talked about only one hurricane at a time. But one week in September 1950 there were three hurricanes at the same time. The things began to get confused. Some people got the hurricanes mixed up and didn't know which was which. This convinced the Weather Bureau that it needed a code for naming the storms in order to avoid confusion in the future. |
| 1. The practice of giving girls' names to hurricanes was started by ______. |
| A. a radio operator B. an author C. a sailor D. local people |
| 2. The purpose for which weathermen of the army and navy began using girls' names for hurricanes was ______. |
| A. not given in the article B. to remember a certain girl C. to keep information from the enemy D. to follow the standard method of the United States |
| 3. The Weather Bureau began naming hurricanes because it would help them ________. |
| A. make use of military records B. remember them C. collect information more rapidly D. warn people more efficiently |

| The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues (疫病) that flesh receives. The most widespread fallacy (谬误) of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes. During the First World War, soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches (战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War prisoners at the Notorious Auschwitz Concentration Camp (奥斯维辛集中营) were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty (通风良好的) room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose. If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors (止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms. |
| 1. The passage is mainly organized by ______. |
| A. reasoning B. contrasting C. giving examples D. providing arguments |
| 2. Which of the following DOES NOT agree with the chosen passage? |
| A. Colds are not caused by cold. B. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time. C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors. D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already had one. |
| 3. The passage mainly discusses _____. |
| A. the experiments on the common cold B. the mistaken idea about the common cold C. the reason and the way people catch colds D. the continued spread of common colds |

| The Mississippi is a great river whose relationship with man goes way back beyond its discovery in the 16th century. The River was used by Indians as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name-"misi" meaning "great" and "sipi" meaning "water". When the length of its branch, the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes greater. 1 . From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2, 480 miles long. Great rivers are likely to suffer floods. In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres, sweeping away farms, towns, everything in its path. In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions homeless. Today the river has largely been controlled. 2 . Industries have spread down some of the waterways of the delta, but otherwise the delta is a remote place, the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th century. They still speak French, mixed with English, Indian, Spanish and Negro idioms. They keep to themselves, fanning the rich soil of the delta. 3 . 4 . Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went, but what lay beyond. In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after their king, Louis XV. This city, named St. Louis, became the jumping-off place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains, and the way to the Far West. Some 40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded another city just above the Mississippi delta, New Orleans. 5 . New Orleans is one of the great ports of the world, and one of the greatest terminals for both sea and river traffic. |
| A. It was the Mississippi that made the city what it is. B. Levees, high banks built of earth, hold back the flood waters. C. Therefore, as we know, it's the third longest river in the world. D. It is known that the "Great Water" has also been a frontier river. E. However, they paddled up and down the Mississippi in their boats to seek their fortune. F. The "Great Water" always remains a threat, for the streets of the city are below the level of the river G. They call themselves Cajuns, who have actually been leading fairly primitive lives and preserving their own traditions. |
