Big monopolies try to buy inventionsand turn them to their own profits. When they fail, they resort to other tricks. Inventors have to overcomethousands of difficulties put in their path before they can see their dreams realized.When George Stephenson was experimenting with the stream engine, there was much opposition from theParliament, the newspaper, and landlords. They claimed that the noise and the smoke would kill cows,horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that hot coals from it would set fire to their houses.So it was a very difficult matter for George Stephenson to persuade the people that trains could go onsmooth rails, could pull carriages and wagons full of people and goods, and that there was no great dangerof accidents.However, he was able to do it, and the first train driven by Stephenson himself showed that the newlyinvented steam engine was a complete success.56. The word those in the first sentence refers toA. inventors B. inventions C. interests D. monopolies57.Why do big monopolies buy inventions?A. They want to make a further research.B. They want to improve them.C. They want to make more money.D. They want to play tricks with inventors.58.Which of the following is not the very reason for the opposition to Stephensons experiment?A.

The physician consigned her to a milder climate for the winter and she went Devonshirefor restoration. Among the members of her family who accompanied her to those healing shores was hereldest brother.For a whole year they lived side by side in affectionate companionship, she all the whilebeing greatly benefited by mild sea breezes of Torquay.One summer morning her brother went board a small sailboat with two friends for a trip of several hoursaround the coast. Just as the vessel came in sight of the window where Miss Barrett sat watching, theboat struck a sunken reef； and all who were in it went down and perished in the sea, before assistantcould be rendered.

The other teams,disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed somethingwrong with one of the score cards. A 9 had been recorded as a 7. They were not the state prize winner；Wobum High had won. No one would have known, said Wobums instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasnta difficult decision: The prize wasnt ours to take.Coin StarsCollege students are lazy, but they also want to help, says University of Pennsylvania graduate DanaHork. So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handingout cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms.

In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic (invisible第 21 页 共 31 页第 21 页 共 31 页 21light) waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place morethan a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into workingmodels.Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become an industry.The influence of TV on the life of people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and theirway of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in varioussubjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At firsttelevision programs were broadcast in black-and -white. With the development of science and technology,the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networkswere broadcasting most of their programs in color.The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the firstcommunications satellite, more and more programs are telecast live from all over the world. Peoplein San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come fromouter space. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic moon walk toviewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.56.

He is very discouragedabout himself, the world, and his future. He becomes less interested in what is going on around him anddoesnt get satisfaction from things he used to enjoy. Fatigue and early morning sleeplessness are quitecommon. The depressed person may want to sleep more than usual. He may lose his appetite and lose weight,or eat more than normally and gain weight. Another particular sign, seen in women, is crying spells.Many of these spells are short and common.Depressives share the feeling that they have lost something very important to them, though often thisis not really the case. From a feeling of loss, the depressed person progresses to false ideas that heis a loser and will always be a loser, that he must be worthless and perhaps not fit to live. He mayeven attempt suicide.So many very depressed people attempt suicide that depressive illness may be considered the only fatalmental illness. Not all those suffering from depressive illness do attempt suicide. But the relationshipis striking. It is estimated that as many as 75 percent of those who attempt suicide are seriously depressed.Other studies show that the person hospitalized for depression is about 36 times more likely to commitsuicide than is the non-depressed person. The greatest risk occurs during or immediately afterhospitalization. After age 40, the possibility of suicide increases in very depressed person.

While the youth stood on thelanding-place searching in his pocket for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which,together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the strangers figure. He was ayoung man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visitto town. He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters beforethis. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscularlegs； his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was athree-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lads father.In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantlystocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shapedfeatures, bright, cheerful eyes were natures gifts, and worth all that art could have done for hisadornment. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town witha light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyedhis surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolisof a New England colony.66.The story took place in _.A. spring B. summer C. fall D. winter67.

Thats more or less what happenedthe night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lightsand sirens going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quicklydown the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred milesan hour and began passing cars on the shoulder. But Hyde couldnt go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worryingabout speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebirdin sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car.As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made wasthe very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found another unit had alreadyarrived at the accident scene. His help wasnt needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of theFirebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.Just about that time, Hyde says, I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oilgoing everywhere. Hed blown his engine. Now he had to stop. After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didnt have a drivers license（执照）.

The purpose of open policy is to acquire advanced technology,management skills to serve our socialist construction so as to promote the realization of the four modernizations.Wemustadheretotheopenpolicy.Becauseeconomicrelationsbetweenstatestodayhavebecomeincreasinglyclose,and no country can possibly advance behind close doors. Only in this way, can we gradually close the gap between ourcountry and the developed countries.Throughtheimplementation of policy, wecan learn advanced technology andmanagerial expertise from abroad；makefull use of the foreign capitals to set up great enterprises； absorb useful and healthy ideas and new knowledge ofthe modern civilization； and broaden our views and raise our level of competence.2. The place of Science and Technology in Modern Life.Human life can not continue without science and technology. For many years, human society has developed with theadvance of science and technology while the development of science and technology has in turn brought the process tomankind. So the life we are living now is more civilized than that of our fore fathers.Thedevelopmentofscienceandtechnologyhavebroughtaboutmanychangesinpeopleslife.forexample,theinventionof television and space rocket have opened a new era for mankind. Through the use of TV people can hear the sound andlearn the events happening thousands of miles away. Owing to the invention of spaceship and rocket, the dream of manslanding on the moon has now come true.Science and technology also play an important role in our socialist construction. We may say, our socialistconstruction is just like a skyscraper, while science and technology are its base. Without the base, the skyscrapercant be built. Therefore, we should try our best to contribute to the development of science and technology so asto provide a more solid base to build our country.3. Importance of EducationChina, as a developing country, is determined to catch up with and even surpass the developed ones. I think thatoneofthebestpossiblewaystodosoistogivefirstpriority(优先）tothedevelopmentofculture,scienceandespeciallyeducation.Inmodern times,whenscienceandtechnologyaremakinggreat progress,theeducationof theworkforce isofprimaryimportance. Moreover, many of the success in advanced countries have demonstrated that a nation s prosperity mainlydepends on the quality of its labour force, namely those who have been well educated.In a developing country such as China, our investment in culture, education and science, and especially elementaryeducation,mustenjoytoppriority.Thisiscrucial(决定性的）forChinatocatchupwiththedevelopednationsintodayssurging(汹涌的) waves of technological revolution. Otherwise, the gap between China and advanced countries will bewidened rather than bridged.4. Air PollutionAir pollution is one of the major problems of the modern world. A great deal of energy is needed to run the factoriesof modern industrial nations. Automobile, trains, planes and busses need energy, too. Nearly all of this energy isproduced by burning fuels. The burning produces wastes, some of which remain in the air, causing air pollution.Scientists are finding ways to stop air pollution especially in big industrial areas and densely-populated cities.They are studying new ways of generating electricity that may be less damaging to the environment. In the meantime,many power plants are being modernized to give off less polluted material. Also, engineers try to design and locatenew power plants to do minimum damage to the environment.However, it may be that we still have a long way to go before we have a clean world. Nearly all of the countriesare trying hard to prevent and control air pollution. There indeed seems to be no end to tasks that environmentalistswill be required to do. People will continually find new ways to control pollution.第 25 页 共 31 页第 25 页 共 31 页 255.

If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive.Concernedpeoplehavemadesomeprogressinenvironmentalprotection.Governmentsofmanycountrieshaveestablishedlaws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution.Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognizethe importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve(保存） our natural resources andrecycle（再循环） our products. We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.6. AutomobilesAutomobiles, as a product of modern civilization, have been playing a vital part in the daily activities of humansociety. Industry needs automobiles for farming as well as transportation. Every day, automobiles drive people to andfrom work. On weekends automobiles take families for joyful outings. And during holiday seasons, automobiles fill thehighways everywhere, even in remote areas. It could be said that the wheels of automobiles move society forward.But automobiles have also given rise to a series of problems. For example, cities are overcrowded with automobiles.They create a lot of noise and traffic accidents which disable（伤残） or kill many people each year. Worst of allperhapsistheairpollutioncausedbytheexhaustgasesproducedbyautomobiles.Someofthegasesarehighlytoxic(有毒的） and a serious health hazard.7. ComputerThe computer is widely used in all fields of society. Today, wherever you go, you will find computers being used.For example, computers are used in universities, large corporations, and small offices, etc. It has even entered thehomes of ordinary people. As it is able to store and process a large amount of information, the computer bring aboutgreat convenience and high efficiency to people of all walks of life.Computerscanhelppeopleindifferentways.Forexample,computerhelpscientistsinanalyzingdataanddoingcomplexcalculation.Foranotherexample,computersaremadeuseofbyengineersindesigninga plane,oraspaceship.Besides,computersmayalsoplayagreatroleinhelpingchildrenwiththeirlesson.Whateveryouaredoing,youmanyfindcomputera useful aid.However,thecomputermustbedesignedandinstructedbyman.Whatismore,itistruethatcomputerscanmakedecisions,buttheyneeddetailedinstructionsandprogramspreparedbyhumanstooperate.Therefore,thecomputercanneverreplacethe human brain.8. TravellingIt is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will see beautiful sceneries typical of the region.Besides, you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. Finally, you can get to know thecustoms and living habits of the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one ofthe fasters growing industries in most countries.Themainreasonwhypeopletravelis,perhaps,forpleasure.Forexample,havingworkedhardthroughouttheweekdays,people will find a widened trip to the nearby mountains or beaches a real relaxation. For another example, spendingan annual holiday travelling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of anopportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh andenergetic, ready to work harder.Travelling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have read or heard about something but you can neverget an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing. Furthermore, if you area carefulobserver, you can learn much during your travel about the geography, biology, and history of the places you visit.No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through travelling. The knowledge acquiredfrom travel, as you will have found in your life, is no less valuable than that from any influential reference book.9. The World Population Explosion第 26 页 共 31 页第 26 页 共 31 页 26The human race has experienced a consistent increase in population since the beginning of its history. Famine anddisease have done little to offset(抵消）this steady increase. Too many people are added annually to the populationof the world. So both the causes of population increase and the results of having more people are worth careful study.Cultureevolutionisthemajorfactorresponsibleforpopulationincrease.Earlyinhumandevelopment,peopleinventedtoolstohuntanimals.Latertheybuiltshelterstoprotectthemselves.Stepbystep,theymadelifeeasier.Asaresult,fewer died from natural forces, such as harsh climate and disease.In the past, when population grew, there was unexplored territory to inhabit. But now, almost all the habitable landhas been explored.Theworldspopulation mayreach 8.7billion in2033. It isclear thatworld populationis a seriousissue thatneedscareful attention. Human beings are unique to solve problems through cultural evolution.(发展） Facing the worldpopulation explosion in the near future. we must carry out the birth control program in order to save the mankind andsave the world.10.

Closing the county to international exchanges will only keep it weak.11. Choosing an OccupationEvery one faces the problem of choosing an occupation after graduation from college or university, which plays avital role in his life. An appropriate occupation makes a man work with zest(热情） and vigor, as well as contributeto his country.To make a wise choice, two important things should be taken into consideration. One is the interest, the other, thedemands of people and society. Only if the two aspects are connected, can a man show his talent and ability to thebestadvantage.Ifthetwoconflict,theformershouldbeunderthelatter,forthepeoplesinterestsaremoreimportantthan the individuals.In regard to my choice in the future, I am fond of learning foreign languages； what is more, with the implementationof the Open-Door Policy, exchange between home and abroad in economy and culture has been growing significantly, thusIm determined to be a qualified interpreter.12. The Brain and the ComputerSome recent developments in the computer industry make scientists predict that the gap between human beings andmachines will be closed about the year 20000.To understand the significance of this prediction let us compare the human brain with existing computers. The brainconsumes electrical energy at the rate of 25 watts and occupies a volume of one tenth of a cubic foot. The brain housesbetween 10 billion and 100 billion items of information. Every brain cell is directly connected to many other cells.As a result, the cells in which information is stored can communicate with thousands of other cells.However, the computer consumes 1000,000 watts of electrical power and occupies hundreds of cubic feet of space. Itsmillion items of immediately accessible information. In contrast, the computer memory is like a cell of pigeonholes,with no thinking capacity and no connections elsewhere.In a word, the electronic brains are hopelessly inadequate in comparison with the human brains.第 27 页 共 31 页第 27 页 共 31 页 2713. Modernization of Family LifeWith the rapid development of the society, family life is becoming modernized. Years ago, people considered owingradios, sewing machines, watches and bicycles as being modernized. but in recent years, almost all families have TVsets, refrigerators and washing machines. It is very common to see people ride motorcycles or even drive private carsand more and more families have telephones, computers and air-conditioners.The modernization of family life brings us convenience and comfort. One may enjoy TV or radio programs, communicatewithhisfriendsthroughtelephoneorworkwithhiscomputerwhilehiswashingmachine,refrigeratorandair-conditionersare running. and by car or motorcycle one can quickly reach wherever he wants to go.Inspiteofthis,thesemodernfacilitiesalsobringusdisadvantages.Forexample,radiationfromTVsetsandcomputersis harmful to our health； improper driving of cars and motorcycles becomes the major cause of traffic accidents. Thequietness of a family is often disturbed by a falsedialing or unwelcome phone call. but it is believed that thesedisadvantages will be disposed of with the improvement of modernization and our life will be more healthy and morecomfortable.14. Energy ResourcesChina is rich in various energy resources. Coal and petroleum, for instance, are two major ones. They are essentialin developing the countrys industry, science and technology. China has done a great deal in the past few decades toraise its output of coal and petroleum.Threeenergyresourcesarebeinguseduprapidly,Withthebuildingoffourmodernization,newindustrialandscienceprojects are springing up like bamboo shoots after rain. They are all big consumers of energy resources. Besides therehas been considerable waste in the utilization of these resources.To avoid an energy crisis in the future, the government must take certain measures. First, it should let people knowthe importance of saving energy. Second, efforts should be made to develop new energy resources, such as solar energy,geothermal(地热） energy and so on. We have reason to be optimistic in this respect.15. CompetitionCompetitionmakespeopleoriginalandcreative.Itverynecessarytocompeteifhumansocietywantstoadvance.(Evenanimals compete for survival.) Without it, we would become lazy and nobody would rake any responsibility. When threemonks live together, there will be no drinking water. This Chinese proverb vividly describes why Chinas productivitywas so low before Mr Deng came to power. At that time, we had the so-called planned economy. There was no competitionat all. So neither farmers nor workers worked hard. China was on the edge of collapse.Competition can stimulate people to try their best to do anything. For example, in 100-meter race, each sportsmanruns as quickly as possible, trying to win the champion. The same things happen in our society and in our daily life.If a company wants to surpass others, it must compete with them. It must raise its efficiency. All the companies doingthis will no doubt benefit the whole society and the whole human race.Being a student, I must compete with other students in our studies. I must study hard in all the fields so that Ican be a useful man when I enter the society after graduation.16.Students Part-time jobsThere are many advantages for a student to have a part time job. For instance, it helps him to realize that no successcomes from nothing. It enables him to be independent and builds up his self-confidence. Therefore, part-time jobs canget the students out of the ivory tower and give them the opportunity to know more of himself and of his personal valuein society.As everything has two sides, the disadvantages cant be ignored. Part-time jobs cut into students study time； someevenbecomesopreoccupiedwithmakingmoneythattheycatfocustheirattentiononstudying.Intheend,thestudentsmay fall behind or fail in their studies.In my opinion, students can choose to take up a job according to their own situation. The most important thing is forhim to keep a good balance, put his study on top of the list and assign an adequate amount of time to it.17.Wealth and HappinessEverybody wants to get wealth. In todays material world, making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a persons第 28 页 共 31 页第 28 页 共 31 页 28success and capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money, theycan but nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood； with money, they can own stately luxury cars. Wealth seems withmoney, they can own stately luxury cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.In my opinion, people cannot do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you dependson your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a goodthing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will and to your ownhappiness. If you want money just for your own needs, youll never be satisfied or happy. In a word, you should havemoney spent for more people, only then can money be the source of your happiness.18.IdealsEveryonehashisideals.A businessmanwishestomakegreaterprofit；afarmerexpectsbumperharvests；a studenttriesto learn more and better. And everyone strives, with more or less effort, to realize his ideal.One should be sensible about whether his ideal is well founded or not. If it is, one has to plan and work hard forits realization. Effort, skill and persistence are all necessary. And very often, one has to get help from others,including advice and support in one form or another.My ideal is to become a doctor, It is said that the field of medicine is a well-paid profession, but I take it as alofty profession entrusted with saving peoples lives. To realize my ideal I have concentrated on laboratory worktodeveloptheanalyticalskillsnecessarytobecomeaqualifieddoctor.IamsureIwillrealizemyidealifIperseverein this pursuit.19.Popular Sports in ChinaSports are flourishing in china now. More and more people are willing to take part in sports of different kinds, suchas table-tennis, football, volleyball, and so on. Every year there are many matches played on the city, provincialor national level. Sports are no longer limited to a few professional players.Early in the morning people may be seen doing exercise. Martial arts (like Chinese boxing or swordplay) which formerlywere cultivated for self-defense, now have become a form of physical exercise and are practiced in parks, streets,gardens,oroncampuses.Inadditionyoungandoldpeoplearealsooftenseenrunninginordertobuilduptheirbodies.China promotes sports to enhance the physical condition of its people； she is formulating policies to provideencouragement of this activity. She awards prizes to the excellent players for the best records both in china and theworld. In the world the Chinese have become a strong people instead of “the weaklings of East Asia”.20.Is Failure a Bad Thing?Failure is what often happens. It is everywhere in our life. Students may fail in exams, scientists may fail in theirresearch work, and athletes may fail in competitions.Although failure happens to everyone, attitudes towards failure are various. Some people dont think their failureis a very important thing at all. So they pay no attention to it. As a result, they will have the same failure a periodlater.Somepeoplethinkthemselvesarefoolsandlosetheirheartsineverythingaftertheygetafailure.Consequently,they spend their time and energy on useless things and they may really be fools as they have thought.Other people are quite different from the two kinds of people mentioned above. Instead of being distressed and lost,they draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced. After hard work, they will be successful in theend. It is said that failure is the mother of success. Success will be gained after times of failures so ling as weare good at drawing lesson from our failures.In my opinion, failure is not a bad thing, the really bad thing is taking a failure as failure or even lose our heartafter failure.21.Health and LifeAs the saying goes, you dont know what happiness is until you lose it you dont know what health is until youare ill. “Health is of vital importance to life” sounds like a cliche to everyone, but it is absolutely true.The negligence of the delicate balance of your body and soul, the harmful habits such as smoking, excessive drinkingand burning mid-night oil will catch up with you someday. How many big plans are interrupted by bad health! Even anormal life is unimaginable without the guarantee of health.第 29 页 共 31 页第 29 页 共 31 页 29How to keep fit is an eternal topic of diversity and controversy. Regardless of all the different suggestions pouredfrom all kinds of sources, one should do at least two things for him/herself. First, hold an active and optimisticattitude toward life and maintain a mental well-being. Second, live a regular life and keep a balanced diet. Anyway,a healthy life is within reach when you begin to adjust your mind and body.22.私家车(private car)Nowadays , there are more and more people owning private cars. On the one hand, some wealthy people who either arethe boss of the private company or the white-collar managers in big companies have their private cars. On the otherhand, some young people who are future-minded buy private cars ahead of their income by loans from banks.Isitagoodorbadthingtohaveaprivatecar?Justasacoinhastwosides,sotherearebothadvantagesanddisadvantagesof having a private car. So far as its advantages are concerned, there are two examples for this. First , it playsa very important part in providing its owner with convenience, enabling the owner to go where he wants to quickly andeasily. Second, it can help its owner to save a lot of time which may be wasted by waiting for other vehicles. However,it also has its disadvantages . For one thing, it will have a negative effect on both the crowded traffic system andthe environment in the long run. For another, it places burden on the public utility in providing more parking lots.In short , owning a private car has both its advantages and disadvantages. It is advisable that we should pay muchattention to the environmental protection by not having a private car if we have little or no practical use of theprivate car.23.西方快餐在中国（Western fast food）Western fast food business has developed tremendously in the past 50 years.Nowadays people will see all kinds of fastfood restaurants here and there.which clearly shows how closely it is related to our daily life.Most people believethatfastfoodbusinesshasbecomepartofourlifeanditsdevelopementisgoodforbothsocietyandpeople.Firstly,thebestthingaboutfastfoodisbeingfast.Noweveryonelivesabusylifesotimeisthemostvaluablethingtousall.Fastfood offers a most efficient way to eat.You will waste no time in waiting or choosing.Secondlu,fast food restaurantsprovide us with a good environment for entertainment and study.Friends come here,chatting or playing cards；studentscome here,reading books or doing homework,and meanwhile you can enjoy a bag of chips and a bottle of cola which willbring more pleasure.Thirdly, youngsters can even find good opportunities of working practice in some fast foodrestaurants.Workingexperiencehelpthemunderstand thesocietybetter andimprovetheir communicating skills.In manyways,we beefit a lot from the fast food business.Therefore,I think it helpful and important to our life.24.如何提高听力Improve English Listening There are many ways.
