Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage or dialog. Coffee is one of the most popular (流行的) drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average. Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine (咖啡因). Caffeine is a chemical that stimulates (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake-at least for a short timebecause of this stimulating effect on the nervous system (系统). A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it. One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850. Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way. Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans (豆荚) that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans. Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village, where he told his story. The green bean got the name “Kaffa“ and later “coffee“ because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa. Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy to do their work. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time. 1.What is caffeine? A. A kind of seed. B. A kind of plant. C. A kind of drug. D. A kind of nut. 2.What is the purpose of drinking coffee? A. To become more awake. B. To become more healthy. C. To become more happy. D. To become more clever. 3.Coffee was first found by a _. A. doctor B. farmer C. druggist（药剂师） D. chemist（化学家） 4.How did the goats react after eating the plants? A. They fell asleep. B. They could not find their way home. C. They started jumping up and down. D. They wanted to eat more. 5.Why did the green bean get the name “Kaffa“? A. Because Kaldi loved his home village very much. B. Because Kaldis goats loved the green bean very much. C. Because the beans were discovered in a place by this name. D. Because the beans could be picked and dried. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog. Pepys and his wife had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2nd, 1666. The servants (女仆) were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow of a fire start in the sky. By 3 oclock on the Sunday morning, the glow had become so bright that one of the servants, Jane, woke her master to see it. Pepys went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see it. So he set to work to tidy (整理) his room and put his things back where he wanted them after the servants had cleaned everything. While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one: three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. Someone told him that the fire had started in a bakers house in Pudding Lane (小巷), and then the flames (火焰) had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So began the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, so it is said, at Pie Corner. 6.The servants were up very late because _. A. they were chatting B. they were having a party C. they were preparing for a dinner D. they were watching a fire 7.Pepys went back to bed because _. A. he was not interested in chatting about a fire B. he did not think the fire was anything special C. the fire was far away D. the fire had died down 8.When Pepys was tidying his room and things, Jane came in and told him that _. A. the fire was dying down B. the fire had been put out C. the fire was a bad one D. no flame could be seen 9.The fire started _. A. on London Bridge B. in a bakers house C. because the lane was too narrow for people to come in D. because people could not get enough water to put it out 10. Pie Corner was _. A. the site of the Tower of London B. the site of the Great Fire of London C. the place where the fire ended D. the place where Pepys lived Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog. In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women. Most of these colleges were established in the 19th century; they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accepted only men. In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result some womens colleges decided to accept men students too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular (流行的) again. The president of Trinity College (三一大学) in Washington, D.C. said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a womens college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that in a womens college a higher percentage of students studies mathematics than in a college with both men and women. Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a womens college, women feel freer to say what they think. Womens schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere. For example, at a womens college every governing office is held by a woman. Recent studies reportedly show that this leadership continues after college. American women who went to womens colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs late
