In one sense, there are as many different kinds of English as there are speakers of it. No two speakers speak in exactly the same _ (36). We can always hear differences between them, and the pronunciation of English varies a great deal in different geographical _ (37). How do we _ (38) what sort of English to use as a model? This is not a question that can be _ (39) in the same way for all foreign learners of English. If you live in a part of the world like India or West Africa, where there is a long _ (40) of speaking English for general communication purposes, you should _ (41) to acquire a good variety of the pronunciation of this area. It would be a _ (42) in these circumstances to use as a model BBC English or anything of the sort. On the other hand, if you live in a country where there is no traditional use of English, you must take as your model some standard form of _ (43) English pronunciation. It does not _ (44) very much which form you choose. The most _ (45) thing to do is to take as your model the sort of English you can hear most often.36. A. form B. way C. type D. voice37.

Some of the difficulties they experienced when they were trying to _ (46) themselves to the new medium were technical. When working on radio, for example, they had become _ (47) to seeing on behalf of the listener. This _ (48) of seeing for others means that the commentator has to be very good at talking. Above all, he has to be able to _ (49) a continuous sequence of visual images which add meaning to the sounds which the listener hears. In the _ (50) of television, however, the commentator sees everything with the viewer. His _ (51), therefore, is completely different. He is there to make _ (52) that the viewer does not miss some point of interest, to help him focus _ (53) particular things, and to _ (54) the images on the television screen. Unlike his radio colleague, he must know the _ (55) of silence and how to use it at those moments when the pictures speak for themselves.46. A. adapt B. change C. modify D. shape47.

He perched on a platform built beside Niagara Falls and jumped into the water a hundred feet below. A big crowd had gathered to watch Sams well-advertised leap. The spectators held their breath as the daredevil hit the swirling water. At last his head burst out of the foam, thirty feet clear of the falls, and the crowd let out a mighty roar. Men waved their hats and yelled out the expression that had become Sams trademark: Theres no mistake in Sam Patch!Sam began his career as a leaper in 1827, when he jumped eighty feet into the Passaic River from a bridge that was still under construction. Delighted with the fame he received, Sam traveled from town to town, jumping from masts, cliffs, and bridges. Then he made his great conquest of Niagara Falls.Sam was encouraged by the widespread public excitement over his successful leap from the falls. He turned to the higher Genesee Falls for his next feat. On November 13, a scaffold was constructed 125 feet above the base of the falls. A huge crowd gathered on both riverbanks. At 2:00 P.M., Sam climbed the shaky scaffold, made a brief speech, and jumped. Once again there was a hushed silence as his body smacked the water. But this time Sam didnt resurface.Sams body was pulled from the mouth of the river the following spring. Even so, for years afterward, a legend persisted that the great Sam Patch was still alive.56. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Never Say Die.B. Sam Patch and Falls.C. Conquer Niagara FallsD. A Hero57. What is the general idea of this passage?A. Genesee Falls is a dangerous place.B. Sam Patch jumped at Niagara Falls.C. Theres no mistake in Sam Patch.D. Sam Patch was a popular leaper.58. This passage implies that _.A. Sam Patch is still aliveB. Sam Patch was a foolish manC. Sam Patch loved to get a lot of attentionD. jumping fro high bridges was not very dangerousBThe elephant is the largest of all land animals. It can reach a height of eleven feet and weigh nearly six tons. The African elephant can also boast the biggest ears in the world. They can grow as large as three-and-a-half feet across. You might think that a gigantic animal like the elephant wouldnt have much to worry about, but it has its problems too. And its huge ears can help it to deal with many problems ranging from pesky insects to great danger.The ears are very effective fans that can be used to drive away flies. The elephants huge ears also help them hear everything thats happening nearby. A mother elephant might hear the approach of a dangerous lion that would kill her children.The elephants great size can sometimes present a heat problem. The larger an object, the harder it is for it to lose heat. Elephants live on the hot plains of Africa, where keeping cool is not an easy task. Elephants huge ears help them cool their bodies so they can survive in the heat. The large surfaces of the ears have many blood vessels that are very close to the surface of the skin. Blood that is closer to the surface cools more easily.The most impressive use of the ears, though, is seen in an elephants threat display. When trying to threaten another animal, the elephant bellows and charges with both ears spread wide. This makes the huge beast look almost twice as large as it really is. Few enemies would dare to stand up to anything that huge.59. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. The Use of the Ears.B. Keeping Cool in Africa.C. Survival on the African Plains.D. The Elephants Threat Display.60. We can conclude that if elephants did not have big ears they would probably _.A. see betterB. be smallerC. not be able to surviveD. not live in Africa61. The author calls the elephants threat display “impressive.” This means that it is _.A. interestingB. admirableC. amusingD. normalCOnly one animal can walk 200 miles without stopping once to rest. It would take a person two days and two nights to walk this far, and only one man has ever done it without stopping. What animal has such endurance (耐力)? The camel! The camel is famous for something else, too. It can cross an entire desert without a single drink of water. Its body is built in a special way to help it store water and food.A person has just one stomach, but a camel has quite a few. Within each stomach are layers and layers of cells. These cells are like tiny water balloons, storing liquids until the camel needs them. When the camel drinks, the cells grow larger and larger. For a whole week, they can keep the animals thirst away by sending water to all parts of its body.And did you ever wonder why the camel has a hump (驼峰)? The hump is a storage place for fat. Because it has this storage area, the camel does not need to eat very often. When the animal needs energy, the layers of fat serve as fuel to keep it going on the long, hot days in the burning sun.The camel has one other gift that makes it well suited to arid regions. This gift is its nose. A camel can smell a water hole from miles away!When a camel moves it sways (摇摆) from side to side like a ship on a wavy ocean. Because of this swaying action, the camel has been called the Ship of the Desert.62. This passage is mainly about .A. longdistance walkingB. mysterious shipsC. desert animalsD. the camel63. Where do camels keep the water they have taken in?A. In the stomach together with the food they ate.B. In the cells of their stomachs.C. In the hums on top of their backs.D. In the bags they carry on their backs.64. The camels hum is storage place for .A. fat B. muscles C. extra waterD. body sugars65. We can conclude from this passage that camels .A. will always be usefulB. like to carry heavy loadsC. feel at home in the desertD. look like ships from a distance DThe nuclear age in which the human race is living, and may soon be dying, began for the general public with the dropping of an atom bomb on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. But for nuclear scientists and for certain American authorities, it had been known for some time that such a weapon was possible. Work towards making it had been begun by the United States, Canada and Britain very soon after the beginning of the Second World War. The existence of possibly explosive forces in the nuclei of atoms had been known ever since the structure of atoms was discovered by Rutherford.An atom consists of a tiny core called the nucleus with attendant electrons circling round it. The hydrogen atom, which is the simplest and lightest, has only one electron. Heavier atoms have more and more as they go up the scale. The first discovery that had to do with what goes on in nuclei was radio-activity, which is caused by particles being shot out of the nucleus. It was known that a great deal of energy is locked up in the nucleus, but, until just before the outbreak of the Second World War, there was no way of releasing this energy in any large quantity. A revolutionary discovery was that, in certain circumstances, mass can be transformed into energy in accordance with Einsteins formula which states that the energy generated is equal to the mass lost multiplied by the square of the velocity of light.The A-bomb, however, used a different process, depending upon radio-activity. In this process, called fission, a heavier atom splits into two lighter atoms. In general, in radio-active substances this fission proceeds at a constant rate which is slow where substances occurring in nature are concerned. But there is one form of uranium called U235 which, when it is pure, sets up a chain reaction which spreads like fire, though with enormously greater rapidity. It is this substance which was used in making the atom bomb.The political background of the atomic scientists work was the determination to defeat the Nazis (德国纳粹). It was held I think rightly that a Nazi victory would be a terrible disaster. It was also held, in Western countries, that German scientists must be well advanced towards making an A-bomb, and that if they succeeded before the West did, they would probably win the war. When the war was over, it was discovered, to the complete astonishment of both American and British scientists, that the Germans were nowhere near success, and, as everybody knows, the Germans were defeated before any nuclear weapons had been made. But I do not think that nuclear scientists of the West can be blamed for thinking the work urgent and necessary. Even Einstein favored it.When, however, the German war was finished, the great majority of those scientists who had worked together towards making the A-bomb considered that it should not be used against the Japanese, who were already on the verge of defeat and, in any case, did not constit
