Are you going to sell me half a head?”-“Wait a minute,”said the clerk nervously.“Let me ask the manager.。” ”She went back where the manager was stamping prices on canned goods.“Hey,”she said,“theres a big, stupid-looking buffalo（水牛）out front who wants me to sell him half a head of cabbage. Shall I tell the fool to”She noticed the manager staringnot at her, but behind her.Turning, the clerk saw that the big and tall customer had followed her and heard every word. Quickly, the clerk turned back to the manager.“And this gentleman,”she said,“wants to buy the other half.”-51What is the best title for this passage? -AA Strange Customer-BA Friendly Customer-CA Nervous Customer-DA Polite Customer-52What did the customer insist on buying? -ASome vegetable.-BA whole cabbage.-CA small cabbage. -DHalf a cabbage.-53What was the clerks attitude（态度）to wards the customer? -AFriendly-BUnfriendly-CPolite-DWarm-hearted-54When talking to the manager, the clerk was referring to _. -Atwo different customers-Bthe same customer-Cmore than two customers-Da stupid-looking customer and a gentleman-55What is your impression（印象）of the customer? -ALooks like an animal. -BLooks like a housewife.-CLooks like a gentleman. -DA ma of strong build.B-Air is a colourless, tasteless and invisible gas that surrounds the planet Earth. It is everywhere on the planet. An“empty”drinking glass and an“empty”room, to give two examples, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. Where the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.-Air, as a gas, has no definite（一定的）shape, but because it is matter, it takes up space. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a dry handkerchief into the bottom of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the upside-down glass, held straight up and down, into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of the water, the handkerchief will be dry. The air inside the glass took up space and kept the water from coming in.-56Air has no definite shape because _. -Ait is a mixture-Bit is a gas-Cit is matter-Dit is nothing-57Since air is matter, it has _. -Aroom as well as weight-Bboth room and shape-Ceither room or weight-Dneither shape nor weight-58“Stuff a dry handkerchief into the bottom of a glass”, here -the word“stuff”means _. -Adip-Bbuy-Ctake-Dpress tightly-59The writer tells tat the experiment _. -Ais carried out in the space-Bmust be done in the lab-Cis easily done-Dis made in the room-60Which of the following pictures gives us the correct result -of the experiment?(W=water, A=air, H=handkerchief)-A-B-C-DC-Have you ever heard the old saying,“Never judge a book by its cover”?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence（智力）of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. When he speaks, he may not be able to find the right words. But dont make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody.-Other people may fool you into overestimating（过高估计）their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentivelyand takes notes in class is bound（一定）to make a favourable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.-It all boils down to thisyou cant judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine（测定）a persons intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts（反应）to different situations.The more situations you see, the better you judgement is likely to be. So take our time. Dont judge the book by its cover.-61The passage suggests that _. -Aa good writer may not be a good speaker-Ba good writer is always a good speaker-Ca speechless person always writes well-Da good writer will find himself speechless-62According to this passage, a student who listens attentively -and takes notes in class _.-Ais an intelligent student-Bwill score better in exams-Cmay not be an intelligent student-Dwill not be a good student-63The passage suggests that we should judge a persons -intelligence through _. -Ahis teachers-Bhis appearance-Chis deeds in the classroom-Dhis reactions to different situations-64The writer of this passage wants to tell us _. -Anot to judge a book by its cover-Bnot to make the mistake of thinking a young man stupid-Cnot to overestimate a students intelligence-Dnot to judge a persons intelligence by his appearanceD-Fifty-six years ago Japans warplanes surprised U.S. troops at Pearl Harbor（珍珠港）, marking the start of Japans war against the United States. In 1995, however, the Japanese Foreign Ministry officially apologized for the first time for not delivering（递交）a war declaration beforehand.-It was said that Japan did plan to deliver war declaration before its attack（攻击）, but the declaration was delayed by Japans embassy（大使馆）in Washington.-According to the Japanese Foreign Ministry, the Japanese government then sent a secret telegram to its ambassador（大使）in Washington, asking him to inform U.S.25 minutes before Japans attack on Pearl Harbor,that Japan would stop its talk with America. Not realizing the stop of the talk actually meant a war declaration, the Japanese ambassador didntinform U.S.of the Japanese govenments decision（决定）in time, thus making a so-called“great historic mistake.”-65Japan _ before its attack on Pearl Harbour. -Aprepared to have delivered a war declaration to U.S.-Binformed U.S.of its govenments decision-Csent a secret telegram to its ambassador in Washington-Dmade a war declaration on U.S.25 minutes ago-66It was by _ that U.S.troops at Pearl Harbor were -completely defeated. -Athe unexpected attack-Bthe delayed telegram-Cthe stop of the talk-Dthe careless ambassador-67Which of the following is NOT true? -AUnderstanding what the stop of the talk meant, the -Japanese ambassador would have in formed U.S.of his -govenments decision.-BJapan apologized for the first time for making a war on U.S.-without a war declaration beforehand.-CThe main cause of the delayed war declaration was that the -words in the secret telegram are too difficult for the -ambassador to understand.-DU.S.troops were not informed of the enemys attack and didnt-prepare for any war.E-19th NovemberDear Mrs.Huggett,-You may remember that we have discussed the noise your children make while practising their musical instruments（乐器）.You agreed to make sure that they would stop practising in the evening.-You can imagine my astonishment, then, when I realized that nothing had changed and the situation was continuing as before. I find it difficult to stay in the house and I invent any excuse to go out for the evening to be away from the terrible noise. Much as I like music, I have had enough, and , to be frank（直率的）, I am not prepared to put up with the situation any more.-I think it is high time you realized our responsibilities（责任）as a member of the community（社区）, and I must warn you that unless you do something about the situation I will be forced to take legal（法律的）action.-I have sent a copy of this letter to my solicitor（律师）.-Yours sincerely,-R.G.Barge-68Mr Barge feels angry because _. -AMrs.Huggetts children play their musical instruments so -badly-BMrs.Huggett has refused to talk about the noise problem with -Mr Barge-CMrs.Huggett does not allow her children to play their musical-instruments in the evening-DMrs.Huggett has broken her promise-69Which of the following statements is correct according to the-passage? -AMr.Barge is not fond of music.-BMr.Barge likes music but he doesnt like the noise.-CMr.Barge often goes out in the evenings to give music lessons.-DMr.Barge expects a reply from Mrs.Huggett.-70Mr.Barge is prepared to _. -Ahelp Mrs.Huggett to persuade her children not to play their -musical instruments any more-Btake his responsibilities as a member of the community-Csue（控告）Mrs.Huggett for the noise made by her children-Dforce Mrs.Huggett to send a copy of his letter to her -solicitorB）根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项选项中有两-项为多余选项Whats the matter, Bill?
