He once said, Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover. Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (契诃夫), was a great playwright (剧作家) and one of the masters of the modern short story. When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper. As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhovs medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference (冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a fulltime writer and published some of his most memorable stories. Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia. Tragic events controlled his characters who were filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhovs stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhovs works combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity (敏感) of an artist. Some of Chekhovs works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell (装在套子里的人), about a school teachers extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.60. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov_.

Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves”Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricityMost waves are created when winds blow across the ocean“The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ”Taylor said“Waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey”When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮)The turbine can then power an electrical generator (发电机)The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in ScotlandThe resource is hugeWe will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coalOceans cover three quarters of the earths surfaceThat would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the worldThere are some drawbacks, howeverJamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much moneyHe said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknownPlus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat trafficWith more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the worldFinding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day”In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!64Which of the following is NOT true? _ AWave power costs too much moneyBWave energy creates the same amount of pollution as other energy sourcesCWave power affects fishing and boat trafficDWave power may affect marine animals65We can infer from the passage that _Afinding new energy sources like wave energy is important Bwave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the worldCwave power is perfect for creating energy around the worldDwave power doesnt create any pollution66The underlined word “drawbacks” probably means _AregretsBadventuresCdisadvantagesDdifficulties67What can be the best title for the passage?AHow to Get Electricity by WavesBA Huge Resource of EnergyCCan Waves Make Electricity?DThe Disadvantages of Wave Energy DWhen many people are worried that there are no more heroes in the modern era，two university students who lost their lives to rescue drowning children have shown that heroes still exist（存在） According to the Inner Mongolia Morning Post，the tragedy（悲剧） occurred on the afternoon of December 14,2002 when three school students skating on a frozen lake in Qingcheng Park in Hohhot fell through the ice into the freezing water More than 20 university students who happened to be near the spot immediately went to the rescue of the children Two children were quickly rescued，but the third diedThe childs body was not found for three hours Two of the rescuers，Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao，also died of cold and exhaustion（筋疲力尽） The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake When they heard the childrens cries for help， they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children But the ice kept breaking， causing most of them to fall into the icy water Local residents held mourning ceremonies（祭奠仪式） at the lake Eight of the students were seriously affected by the freezing water and were being kept in hospital for further observation， but their lives were no longer in danger 68 When the three students fell into water， the university students were A skating on the ice B taking photos at the lakeC having a picnic D walking along the lake69 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A Three students died on the same day in allB Hao Longbiaos body was found on December 14,2002 C The university students didnt think it dangerous to save the drowning children in the lake D Local residents were not brave in face of danger 70 It can be inferred that A people think little of the two university students deathB the ice on the lake wasnt strong enough to skate onC some students regretted for what they had doneD heroes dont agree with the steps of modern times71 The author wrote the passage to A warn people of the danger of skating on iceB call on people to learn from the brave university studentsC tell us a tragedy D advise university students to cherish（珍惜） their livesECanada is a very large country.
