| The night was dark, though sometimes the moving clouds allowed a star or two to be seen in the sky. The poor men held on to any bit of wood they could find. They called to the Marie for 1 , but she was far 2 the reach of the human voice. At one o'clock in the morning, the water was getting 3 , and a strong 4 had begun to blow. Suddenly 5 were seen in the distance; another ship! The shouts of the swimmers were heard on board, and willing hands pulled them out of the water. The 6 of the ship that had so fortunately arrived on the scene in time to 7 their lives was the Ellen. What had brought her to the exact spot through the 8 and the pathless sea? Her captain had known 9 about the wreck (沉船) and had indeed tried to sail away from it. But let him speak for himself. "I was forced by the wind," he said long afterwards, "to 10 my course (航道). Just as I did it, a small 11 flew across the ship once or twice and then 12 at my face. I took no 13 of this until exactly the same thing happened at a 14 time, which caused me to think it rather 15 , and while I was thus 16 it, the same bird for the third time, made its appearance and flew 17 in the same way as before. I was then 18 to change my course back to the original (原来的) one. I had not gone far 19 I heard strange noises; and when I tried to 20 where they came from, I found I was in the middle of people who had been shipwrecked. I immediately did my best to save them. | ||||

| I work in a major U.S. factory. We make refrigerators. Four thousand five hundred new refrigerators every day. It is a union workshop and it's gradually shrinking as many blue collar factories seem to be but that is not what this story is about. This story is about one man who works in this huge factory. I've seen him around for years but never paid much attention. He always seemed just a little strange. A little short. A little... scruffy (肮脏的). Always the same old red ball cap. And always a garbage bag in one hand. He walks around this big old factory on his breaks and his lunch time collecting aluminum (铝) cans. Day after day, month after month on hot days and cold days. Over the years I've followed him as he walked  to his old pickup truck on the coldest day with snow blowing and everyone with their collars turned up and their hands in their pockets. He would be there with a 40 gallon garbage bag full of aluminum cans. He'd toss it into the back of his truck and jump in and I'd reach my car and jump in and we'd all race to the exit of this big half empty parking lot. Today I was working on a broken machine in this factory and the can man came by with his bag picking up cans. Our manager was standing there because the machine I was working on had been "down" for a couple of hours and he was getting worried that we might run out of the parts for one of the assembly lines(装配线). I was finishing and I stood up just as the manager asked the can man what he did with all those cans. I'd never thought to ask him that question because I always just assumed he cashed them at the recycle center. The can man said: "I give them to my neighbor. He's disabled and can't hold a job." I blurted out: "You mean you've been collecting all those cans for all these years to give to your neighbor?" "It isn't much," he said, "but I give them to him. He can't hold a job." Right then and there in that factory I found myself staring at him. He was wearing a T-shirt and an old red ball cap and he had a garbage bag full of aluminum cans in his hand! I don't even know his name, but I thank him for the lesson he's taught me. |

| When American inventor Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it was a revolution in communication. For the first time, people could talk to each other over great distances. Over the last two decades a new means of spoken communication has appeared: the mobile phone. The mobile phone is like a two-way radio. But the two-way radio is a limited means of communication. As soon as the users move out of range of each other's broadcast area, the signal is lost. In the 1940s, researchers experimented with the idea of using a number of radio masts (无线电杆) to pick up signals from two-way radios. A caller would always be within range of one of the masts. When he or she moved too far away from one mast, the next mast would pick up the signal. (Scientists referred to each mast's reception area as being a "cell". This is why in many countries mobile phones are called "cellphones".) However, 1940s' technology was just at the beginning. The "mobile phones" were huge boxes. They had to be moved by car. The first real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper. As soon as his invention was complete, he tested it by calling a rival (竞争对手) scientist to announce his success. Within a decade, mobile phones became available to the public. They have changed the way we do a lot of things. One powerful feature is: the short message service (SMS) or text message. It's the perfect communication method for the busy modern lifestyle. The text message has changed the way we write in English. The language construction became more lax (松散的). Traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important. Over the last few years mobiles have become more and more advanced. We have seen the introduction of cameras, global positioning system and Internet access. Alexander Graham Bell would be surprised if he could see how far the science of the telephone has developed in less than 150 years. If he were around today, he might say: ''That's gr8! But I'm v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite." |
| 1. The article is intended to ______. |
| A. warn people of the possible risks in using mobile phones B. inform readers of the history and benefits of mobile phones C. convince people of the uses of mobile phones D. predict the applications of mobile phones |
| 2. What's the correct time order about the development of communication? a. the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell b. mobile telephone call made by Dr Martin Cooper c. "mobile phones" with very large boxes d. mobiles with cameras, GPS and Internet access |
| A. a, c, b, d B. b, a, c, d C. a, c, d, b D. a, b, c, d |
| 3. The last sentence of the whole passage ''That's gr8! But I'm v busy rite now. Will call U 2nite." may probably means ______. |
| A. That's great! But I'm very busy right now. (I) Will call you tonight B. It's eight now. I'm very busy. (I) Will call you tonight C. That's great! But I'm busy writing now. (I) Will call you at two tonight D. "8" is great! But I'm very busy right now. (I) Will call it "U" to night |
| 4. What do you think of the author according to the last paragraph? |
| A. Humorous. B. Ironic (讽刺的). C. Kind. D. Worried. |
| I don't ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes. At 19, when I began studying astrophysics (天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as 3 post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement-jobs, research papers, awards-was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind. Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would finally become my reply to any and all provocations: I don't talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don't study sociology or political theory. Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women's college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer: 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don't dismiss those concerns. Still, I don't tell them "war" stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant (怀孕) doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that's a sight worth talking about. |
| 1. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute the author's failures to ______. |
| A. the very fact that she is a woman B. her involvement in gender politics C. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist D. the burden she bears in a male-dominated society |
| 2. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research? |
| A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science. B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle. C. People's stereotyped(模式化的)attitude towards female scientists. D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurture. |
| 3. Why does the author feel great satisfaction when talking about her class? |
| A. Female students no longer have to worry about gender issues. B. Her students' performance has brought back her confidence. C. Her female students can do just as well as male students. D. More female students are pursuing science than before. |
| 4. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest? |
| A. Women students needn't have the concerns of her generation. B. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success. C. Women can balance a career in science and having a family. D. Women now have fewer problems about science career. |
| The English are famous for their manners. The phrase, "Manners make the man" was coined by Englishman William of Wykeham back in 1324, but they're just as important today. Books are written on the subject; advice columns in magazines tell people how to behave; and "finishing schools" still exist to ensure that young girls become young "ladies". The best example of English manners is in their mastery of the art of forming a queue. It is a popular joke in England (the land of sporting failures) to say, "If only queuing was an Olympic sport, we'd win hands down." No one knows exactly how and when it started, but queuing plays an important role in the English social make-up. School children are taught to queue for roll-call, assembly and lunch, and English people across the land form orderly queues at shops, banks, cinemas and bus-stops every day. The English obviously aren't the only people who queue, but they seem to do it better than anyone else. As one visitor said, "I have travelled across Europe, the Middle and Far East and nowhere have I seen the single-file queues which are formed in England." The English are also famously polite when it comes to language. Whereas many other notions are more direct in their communication, the English prefer a more indirect form of asking for things. For example, an American who wants to talk to a colleague might say, "Got a minute?"; however an English person will often use a more indirect means of requesting the chat, "Sorry to bother you, but would you possibly have a minute or so to have a quick chat if you don't mind, please?" The English also love to apologize for things. When squeezing past someone, people say "Sorry". And they will apologize if you bump into them, "Whoops! Sorry! My fault." In fact, no one seems to say "Sorry" as much as the English: "Sorry I'm late. /Sorry I forgot to call you last night./I'm sorry you didn't get the e-mail." And so on. They also like to use "Please" and "Thank you" a lot. In a shop, they will say, "I'd like a packet of crisp, please. Thanks." British students thank their lectures, and bosses often thank their employees for doing their jobs. |
| 1. Why does "finishing schools" still exist to help young girls become "ladies"? |
| A. Because the English mind their manners very much. B. Because the English parents want to marry their daughters to the royal family. C. Because the English girls are so rude that they need to be taught to be polite. D. Because the English government ensures their existence. |
| 2. The underlined sentence in paragraph2 implies ______. |
| A. The English love the Olympics very much. B. The English spend nothing winning an Olympic medal. C. The English are best at queuing. D. The English prefer to queue with their hands down. |
| 3. According to the passage, if Americans say "Waiter! Could I have another fork, please?" how will the English express such a meaning? |
| A. Excuse me! Give me another fork, please! B. Excuse me! I have to be a bother, but would you mind awfully changing this fork, please? C. Hi! Would you mind giving me another fork? D. Waiter! Come here and change the fork! |
| 4. According to the passage, why do the employers often thank their employees for doing their jobs? |
| A. The employees can bring them a lot of benefits. B. The employees finish their jobs perfectly. C. The English employers' good manners lead them to do so. D. The employers do it as a result of the company's regulation. |
| Ever thought you'd get to experience the smell of ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra's hair, or the scent(气味)of the sun? Visitors to the Reg Vardy Gallery will soon be able to do just that. The gallery, at Sunderland University, England, is holding a new exhibition, If There Ever Was. It focuses on scent rather than sight． The creative idea is the brainchild of curator Robert Blackson.His inspiration came from reading the book Fast Food Nation. The book discussed the use of artificial chemicals to flavor things such as milkshakes, making them smell and taste like strawberries, when they're not actually made from them. A smell can often call up memories such as school dinners or a childhood holiday by the sea, but the smells on display, will allow visitors to experience smells their noses won't have been able to pick out before. "There's various different smells, including some extinct flowers," explains Blackson. "Some have been gone for hundreds of years." One extraordinary smell is the consequence of the first atomic bomb, dropped on Japan on August 6, 1945. There is also the smell of Cleopatra's hair, based on incense that was popular among ancient Egyptians. The Soviet Mir space station, which burnt up in the atmosphere in 2001, smells of charred(烧焦的) material(the space station caught fire). Among the strange smells is the "surface of the sun". "It is hard to sum up. It is an atmospheric smell, like walking into a room when the sun has been pouring in," says Blackson. "It gives a freshness, a sun kissed feel with a bit of metal. If you can say something smells hot, this is it." A team of 11, including perfume designers, have been working on recreating the smells for the exhibition. James Wong, a botanist at Botanic Gardens Conservation International, UK, helped in the recreation of the smells of four extinct flowering plants. He did this by closely linking the extinct flowers with the smells of existing ones. With the help of historical reports of how the extinct flowers smelled, he was able to remix the smell. The exhibition runs until June 6. Fourteen extinct and impossible smells are on display. |
| 1. What might be the best title of the passage? |
| A. The Reg Vardy Gallery B. Egyptian queen Cleopatra's hair C. A visit to a new exhibition D. The scents of ancient Egypt |

A. Visitors go to Reg Vardy Gallery to enjoy beautiful sights.B. James Wong managed to remix the smell by referring to some historical reports. C. The exhibition will last until July 6. D. The scents visitors will smell are found in the tomb of the ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra. |
| 4. In which session are you likely to read the passage in a newspaper? |
| A. Science B. Education C. Entertainment D. Economy |
