Only the Pacific and the Atlantic are larger. More than onefifth of all the worlds water supply is in the India Ocean. The India Ocean touches four different countries. To the south is Antarctica and to the east is Australia. Africa lies to the west and Asia lies to the north. There are several important islands in the Indian Ocean. These include Madagascar, the largest one, which is near to Africa and Srilanka, which is near India. There is also a group of islands called the Seychelle near the African coast. The Indian Ocean is especially important to the countries in Southeast Asia. Strong winds from Indian Ocean bring warm weather and heavy rains which are necessary for growing food.56. We may conclude that _A. India is larger than AntarcticaB. The Indian Ocean is to the west of AustraliaC Madagascar is smaller than SrilankaD. The Indian Ocean is larger than the Atlantic57.

An interesting ContinentC. Warm Weather From Ocean D. The Worlds Water SupplyB One of the biggest problems for a second language learner is the idiom. When we read a sentence in the language we are learning, we sometimes know the literal (字面上的) meaning of every word. Still, we do not understand the meaning of the sentence. As an example, the Chinese expression “Ma Shang” literally means “on horse”, but the real meaning is “right away”. In English classes, we give the name idioms to expressions such as “to take care of” and “to get rid of”. According to the dictionary, an idiom is an accepted phrase or expression that has a meaning different from the literal meaning. For example, “to catch ones eyes” does not mean to hold on to someones eyeball. Rather, it means to make someone notice you. Right away this makes students feel a little discouraged. Why dont English speakers just say what they mean instead of using other words? In the same way Chinese use expressions like “Ma Shang”. Idioms are a natural part of American speech. We American dont usually discuss idioms among ourselves.61. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. IdiomsDifficult to LearnB. English, Chinese Are the Same in Idioms C. Idioms Are UsefulD. What Is an Idiom62. The passage is written probably for _ A. English speakers to learn idioms.B. Chinese students who are learning English C. non-English speaking people to learn EnglishD. second language learners all over the world63. Which of the following is true?A.The writer knows Chinese.B. Idioms only appear in English.C. According to the literal meaning of an idiom, you can guess its real meaning.D. A sentence is difficult to understand just because there are some idioms in it.64. There are idioms in the English language, which the writer regards as _.A. simple B. tiresome C. necessary D. natural65. One of the biggest problems for a second language is the _.A. grammar B. voice C. idiom D. sentence structureCThe least successful tourist on record is Mr. Nicholas Scotti who lived in San Francisco in the United States. In 1977 he decided to visit Rome in Italy because that is where his family originally came from.He went to the airport in San Francisco and got on a plane on which was going to Italy. However, because the plane had to make a fuel stop, it landed at Kennedy Airport in New York. Thinking that he had arrived, Mr. Scotti got off and spent two days in New York, believing that he was in Rome.While he was wandering around the city, the great traveler could not help noticing that many of Romes famous and ancient landmarks had disappeared. This must be due to modernization, he thought to himself.Mr. Scotti, who spoke very little English himself, next asked a policeman the way to the bus station. Naturally he spoke to the policeman in Italian. As chance would have it, the policeman replied in Italian because he, too, was an Italian immigrant who had only arrived in America a few years earlier.Mr. Scotti then drove round New York for twelve hours in a bus. Eventually the bus driver handed him over to another policeman. Unfortunately, this policeman did not speak Italian and Mr. Scotti got very annoyed and wanted to know why an Italian policeman could not speak Italian.Finally, even when the policeman told him that he was not in Italy but was in New York, Mr. Scotti refused to believe him. “I cant be in New York, ” he said, “I must be in Rome. Look at the way people drive here. Only Italians can drive like that!”66.

He didnt go to school and couldnt read, although he learned all about the forests, streams and hunting. He could move silently like an Indian leaving no marks. He loved to live alone in the woods where nothing frightened him.When he grew up, he married and tried to settle down on a farm. A year later, however, he wasnt satisfied and decided to go into the unknown western lands, crossing the Appalachian Mountains. When he returned after two years, he became famous for his long journey. He brought valuable animal skins and told stories about the Indians.After this, he chose to keep traveling to unknown places. Once he lost to the Indians in battle and was taken away. The Indians liked him and became his friends.Daniel Boone died at the age of 86. He is remembered as an explorer and a pioneer who lived an exciting life in the early years of American nation.70.Daniel Boones early life was mainly spent in_.A. learning about natureB. hunting with his friendsC. learning useful skills from the IndiansD. studying at home because he couldnt go to school71.Daniel Boone became famous because _.A. he traveled a lot in the western landsB. he was very good at telling storiesC. he found better animal skins than othersD. he was the first to climb the Appalachian Mountains.72.In this article, Daniel Boone is best described as _A. warm-hearted B. strong C. careful D. braveEProfessor Reason recently persuaded 35 people to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for two weeks. When he came to analyze their embarrassing errors, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groups. One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her pet dog her ear-rings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer, ” explains the professor. “People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the womans custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her ear-rings. But somehow the action got reversed (颠倒) in the programme.” About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “programme assembly failures.” Twenty per cent of all errors were “test failures”primarily due to not verifying the progress of what the body was doing. A man about to get his car out of the garage passed through the back yard where his garden jacket and boots were kept, put them onmuch to his surprise. A woman victim reported: “I got into the bath with my socks on.” The commonest problem was information “storage failures”. People forgot the names of people whose faces they knew, went into a room and forgot why they were there, mislaid something, or smoked a cigarette without realizing it. The research so far suggests that while the “central processor” of the brain is liberated from second-to second control of a well-practised routine, it must repeatedly switch back its attention at important decision points to check that the action goes on as intended. Otherwise the activity may be “captured” by another frequently and recently used programme, resulting in embarrassing errors.73. The purpose of Professor Reasons research is_.A .to show the difference between men and women in their reasoning B. to classify and explain some errors in human actionsC. to find the causes which lead to computer failuresD. to compare computer functions with brain workings74. Which of the following might be grouped under “programme assembly failures”?A. A woman went into a shop and forgot what to buy.B. A man
