curiosity in itself. whether it is good or bad 37 on what people are curious about. curiosity 38 can be foolish or wrong. some people with nothing to do are 39 of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. they have a strong wish to know what they are 40 home or taking outside, or why they have come home so 41 or late. to be interested in these things is silly because it is none of their 42 to know what their neighbors do or are doing. such curiosity is not only foolish but also 43 . for most probably, it may lead to a small talk 44 often brings harm, loss of honor or disrespect to others, and thus 45 their feelings. on the other hand, there is a 46 curiosity- the curiosity of wise men, who 47 at all the great things and try to find out all they 48 learn about them. columbus could 49 have found america if he had not been 50 . james walt would not have made the steam engine 51 his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid. all the 52 in human history have been made as a 53 of curiosity, 54 the clever curiosity is never about unimportant things which have 55 or nothing to do with the happiness of the public. 36. a. anything b. everything c. nothing d. something37. a.

阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30）aa couple had a son eleven years after they married. they were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. when the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. the mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.later the boy lost his way on the street. when the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didnt find him. the mother felt very sad and didnt know how to face her husband.when the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. what do you think the four words were? the husband just said i love you, darling.the son was missing. if he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. there is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. his wife had also lost her only child. what his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. that is what the husband gave his wife. several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. the familys relationship became stronger over that time.sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. we miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful. 56. what is the meaning of the underlined phrase the apple of their eye? a. a person who always has a sweet smile. b. a person who is as pretty as an apple.c. a person who is loved more than anyone else. d. a person who looks like an apple.57. why didnt the father pick the boy up himself? a. he was very lazy. b. he thought the mother had picked him up.c. he forgot to pick him up. d. he was too tired to do it. 58. what can we learn from this passage? a. be careful in everything you do. b. love is the most important thing.c. learn to forgive others. d. everyone can make mistakes.59. what do you think of the husband? a. warm-hearted. b. careful. c. hard-working. d. broad-minded.bwhat is language for? some people seem to think its for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of wordsthe longer the lists，the better. thats wrong. language is for the exchange of ideas and information. its meaningless knowing all about a language if you cant use it freely. many students i have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they cant speak correctly or fluently. they are afraid of making mistakes. one shouldnt be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. bernard saw once wrote, foreigners often speak english too correctly. but the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that chinese students make. theyre english mistakes in the english language. and if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. what used to be wrong becomes right. people not only make history, they make language. but a people can only make its own language. it cant make another peoples language. so chinese students of english should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldnt overdo（做过头）it. they should put communication first.60language is used to _.a. express oneself b. practice grammar rulesb. talk with foreigners only d. learn lists of words61foreigners often speak english too correctly. this sentence means that _. a. foreigners speak correct englishb. foreigners speak incorrect english c. foreigners speak english according to the grammar rulesd. foreigners never make mistakes when they speak english62if too many native speakers break a rule, _.a. what they use will become right b. they are against the lawc. they should say sorry to others d. they will become heroes63when we speak a foreign language, we should _.a. speak in chinese way b. speak by the rulesc. speak to native speakers d. not be afraid of making mistakescgetting a new pc is one thing. keeping it running smoothly is quite another. while a personal computer should continue to perform well for years, users know that system unsteadiness does exist. yet you can reduce it to the smallest amount by following the tips below. first, put in as little software as possible. you have fewer software-related problems and a system that is easier to manage. second, you should ensure that you have as much as memory (ram) in your pc as you need. if you run windows 98, your computer should have at least 128 megabytes (mb) of ram and more. you can also get by with 128 mb of ram if you use windows nt or windows 2000, but these operating systems will run much more smoothly if you have 256 of ram or more. third, make sure you buy good hardware. no-name products may be cheaper and sometimes just as good as name-brand products, but name-brand products usually become well-known because of their steadiness. its wise to buy products from famous companies because windows will more often support the hardware that you buy. if you are starting out with computers, its also a good idea to buy ready-made systems from major manufacturers. they are likely to have been tested thoroughly with your operating system, and you will generally experience fewer problems. fourth, do prepare for disaster. no matter how well your system runs when you get it, the day will come when it will need to be replaced. hopefully, you will replace it because technology has become out-dated, but you may need to replace it also because the hard drive crashes or you begin experiencing problems that no one can figure out. thats why its important to copy your important information regularly. whether you use a tape backup device or a cd-rw drive, its important to make a regular backup plan and stick to it.64. if you want to use windows 2000, but your computer only has 64 mb. what will you have to do?a. enlarge its ram to at least 256 mb. b. put in good software in your computer.c. enlarge its ram to at least 128mb d. buy another new computer to match it65. how many pieces of advice on buying good hardware does the writer give us?a. three b. two c. one d. four66. it can be inferred from the last paragraph that_.a. your computer will copy the important information when the system fails.b. your computer might lose all the information when its hard drive crashes.c. you have to replace your computer one day.d. you must change your system regularly.67. the best title of this passage can be_.a. the tips you must follow b. how to start out with a computerc. how to use your pc better d. how to keep your pc stable(稳定).dfood sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. a person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. the symptoms （征兆）of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. fever is one of the most common symptoms. certain microorganisms（微生物）cause most types of food poisoning. bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. after entering the body, these tiny living things release（释放）poisons that make people sick. some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. they are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. for example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops. some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. these include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms. when people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. this means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. people should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. in addition, some types of fish can be poisonous. most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. if people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied. 68. which of the following statements is not true? a. food when poisoned can make people sick. b. food poisoning means death. c. food poisoning comes in varieties. d. food poisoning can be serious. 69. we know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning_.a. are always accompanied by a fever b. are too common to be noted c. can be noticed within hours d. can be ignored 70. from paragraph 5, we can learn that_.a. mushrooms should not be eaten b. vegetables are safer than meat and seafood c. natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicalsd. different types of food should be handled differently 第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空不超过1个单词。maybe you are an average student. you probably think you will never be a top
