my heart missed a beat.”vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.“i realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so i went to watch. i could not see into the mans room, but i could see the passage. the police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed(带手铐).56. the underlined phrase “be in line for” (paragraph 1) means _.a. get b. wait for c. ask for d. demand57. vicki became suspicious of david bieber because _.a. the police called herb. he looked very strangec. he came to the hotel with little luggaged. he came to the hotel the day before new years eve58. vickis heart missed a beat because _.a. the telephone went againb. she would be famousc. the policemen had already arrivedd. she could catch the man by herself59. david bieber was most probably handcuffed in _.a. the passage（走廊） b. the washroomc.vickis bedroom d. the top floor roombfor a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). they were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. there were little old ladies in gray sweaters, young couples in adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “come on!” my friend alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “youll feel great.” well, i had nothing against feeling great and if alex could jog every day, anyone could. so i took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. im not alone in my opinion. first of all, jogging is very hard on the body. your legs can feel a real pounding（沉重的脚步）runing down a road for two or three miles. i developed foot, leg, and back problems. then i read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and i had something else to worry about. jogging doesnt kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me. secondly, i got no enjoyment out of jogging. putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isnt my idea of fun. jogging is also a lonely pastime. some joggers say, “i love being out there with just my thoughts” well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt. and how could i enjoy something that brought me pain? and that wasnt just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. i never got past the pain level, and pain isnt fun. what a cruel way to do it! so many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog? i dont jog any more, and i dont think i ever will. im walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. i bicycle to work when the weather is good. im getting exercise, and im enjoying it at the same time. i could never say the same for jogging, and ive found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.60. from the first paragraph, we learn that in the writers neighborhood _.a. jogging became very popular b. people jogged only during the daytimec. alex organized an army of joggersd. jogging provided a chance to get together61. the underlined word “them” (paragraph 3) most probably refers to _.a. heart attacks b. back problems c. famous joggers d. physical weaknesses62. why did the writer give up jogging two months later?a. he disliked doing exercise outside. b. he found it neither healthy nor interesting.c. he was afraid of having a heart attack.d. he was worried about being left alone.63. from the writers experience, we can conclude that_.a. not everyone enjoys joggingb. he is the only person who hates joggingc. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitd. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.cbicycle tour(旅行) and racea bike tour and race will be held on august 26 and 27(sat. & sun.). at 5:30 a. m., the riders will leave tiananmen square and ride the first 35 kilometres as a training leg. then the next 55-kilometre leg, from yanjiao to jixian, will be the first competitive part of the tour. the riders and their bikes will then be taken from jixian to changli.the second racing leg of the tour will be from changli to the seaside of nandaihe, covering a distance of 20 kilometres. saturday night includes the stay at nandaihe and supper. sunday morning is free for play at the seaside. at noon all the people and their bikes will be taken back to beijing.cost: 200 yuan telephone: 4675027brazilian footballersthe brazilian football club will play beijing guoan team at the workers stadium on august 26. the club has four national team players. also coming is 1994 us world cup star romario who has promised to play for at least 45 minutes.ticket prices: 60,100,150 yuan time/date:4 p. m. , august 26(sat. ) telephone: 5012372rock climbingthe third national rock climbing competition will be held on august 26- 27 at the huairou mountain-climbing training base. more than 10 teams from beijing, wuhan, dalian, jilin and other places will take part in it. a japanese team will give an exhibition climbing. free for spectators(观众). take along-distance bus from dongzhimen to huairou.time/dates: 912 a.m., august 26 and 27telephone: 7143177, 7144850, wang zhenghua64. the main purpose of announcing the above events is to give information about_.a. visiting teams b. famous playersc. things to do for the weekend d. prices to pay for the sports events65. if you take part in the bike tour, you will ride for_. a. 35 kilometres b. 55 kilometres c. 75 kilometres d. 110 kilometres66. what is special about the rock climbing competition ?a. a foreign team takes part in it.b. you can watch it without paying.c. you dont have to be a sportsman to take part.d. the bus trip to the place of the competition is free.67. if you want to find something to do for saturday afternoon, which telephone number will you call? a. 4675027 b. 7143177 c. 5012372 d. 714485dnot all memories are sweet. some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. often they relive these experiences in nightmares.now american researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. the pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. they hope it might reduce, or possibly erase (抹去), the effect of painful memories.in november, experts tested a drug on people in the us and france. the drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. so far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.the research has caused a great deal of argument. some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. they say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.some memories can ruin peoples lives. they come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. they usually come with very painful emotions, said roger pitman, a professor of psychiatry at harvard medical school. this could relieve a lot of that suffering.but those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). they also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.all of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. im not sure we want to wipe those memories out, said rebecca dresser, a medical ethicist.68. the passage is mainly about .a. a new medical inventionb. a new research on the pillc. a way of erasing painful memoriesd. an argument about the research on the pill69. the drug tested on people can .a. cause the brain to fix memoriesb. stop people remembering bad experiencesc. prevent body producing certain chemicalsd. wipe out the emotional effects of memories70. we can infer from the passage that .a. people doubt the effects of the pillsb. the pill will stop peoples bad experiencesc. taking the pill will do harm to peoples healthd. the pill has probably been produced in america第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） _71 when a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view. the many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 72 .the first and most basic level of wants involves food. once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. by the end of world war ii these wants were satisfied for a great majority of americans. 73 it included such items as automobiles and new houses.by 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. while the other levels involve physical satisfactionthe feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human bodythis level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. it includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 74 on this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? a fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 75 in this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.a. then a third level appeared.b. human wants seem endless.c. when there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.d. there are several levels of wants in ones life.e. at this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.f. also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.g. different people have different wants
