success were broken again and again, however. hollywood just did not seem interesting. when he first came to california, larry had decided never to give up and return home without success. therefore, he kept on trying. someday, he told himself, his big opportunity would come.larry found a job parking cars for one of hollywoods big restaurants. his pay was basic, but since the guests were kind enough to give him more money, he managed to make a living. one day he recognized an important film director driving into the parking lot(停车场) and getting out of his car. larry had recently heard that the man was ready to make a new picture.larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it. then he stopped, jumped out, and ran over to the director. “excuse me, sir, but i think its only fair to tell you that its now or never if you want me in your next picture. a lot of big companies are after me.”instead of pushing away the boy, the director laughed, then wrote something on a card and handed it to the young man.” come and see me tomorrow.”larry got a small part in the directors next film. he was on his way！41which of the following was larry interested in?aworking as a waiter. bbecoming a film star.cparking cars for film stars. dowing a big company. 42why did larry find a job parking cars?abecause he liked the job. bbecause the parking lot was near

larry. bhe recognized larry at first sight.che was kind and gave larry a try. dhe thought larry would become a star. 44“he was on his way” refers to the fact that_.ahe gave up and returned home bhe began to work towards successche took a journey to hollywood dhe had difficulty in playing the small partbfinland is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious of the countries in northern europe . two-thirds of its surface is covered with thick forests and among them lie lakes, connected with rivers and canals. the northern part of this country is inside the arctic circle, where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer to transport(运输)clothing and food.the finnish(芬兰的) history began in the middle ages . in about 1155, finland was conquered by its western neighbor sweden. after a period of rule by denmark in the 14th century, the swedes won back independence(独立) and power in 1523 under their brave king. during the napoleonic wars(18031875) finland was passed finally from sweden to russia. the opportunity came in 1917, when the russian revolution brought foreign rule of finland to an end. shortly after soviet russia made peace with germany, 1919 saw the founding of the finnish republic.the years between the first and second world wars were years of progress and growing development. finland has no coal or oil, and the nations wealth lies in the timber(木材) from its forests, which supplies material for paper and furniture making, and in the electric power from its water.45from the passage, we learn that finland _.alies inside the arctic circle bis next to the countries of northern europec1ies east of sweden dis totally covered with forests and lakes46in history, finland was sequentially(相继地) ruled by _.asweden, germany, denmark and russiabsweden, denmark, sweden and russiacsweden, denmark, russia and germanydsweden, russia, denmark and russia47among natural resources, the finnish people benefit mainly from _.acoal and oil bforests and watercpaper and furniture dtimber and power industry48the word “conquer” in the second paragraph means “_”.atake control of bfight against ctake advantage of dfight with cthousands of years ago people guessed the time of day by watching the sun. later, they found it was easier to tell the exact time by looking at the shadows. thus, the sundial(日晷) was invented.the sundial proved a useful timepiece in sunny weather. however, another type of timepiece was necessary for cloudy weather and night time. a sand glass was another common measurer of time. two glass bottles were connected by a very small opening. the top bottle was filled with sand, which dropped slowly into the bottom one in a certain period of time. hour glasses were widely used then. three-minute sand glasses are still used in many homes to time the boiling of eggs.the real ancestor (祖先) of modern clocks was the water clock. in china, an early water clock was made up of several bowls. water trickled(滴) from one bowl to another to keep the clock going. visitors to the beijing palace museum can still see the old water clocks showing the time there.in the middle ages a waterless clock was invented which worked by means of weights. to keep the weight falling at the same speed, a system of wheels was invented. the pendulum(钟摆) was soon developed to control the speed of the wheels. thus the modern form of clock came into being.49which of the following is the correct picture of a sand glass?50three-minute sand glasses are still used in many homes _.ato boil eggs bto measure the time of boiling eggscto hold the boiled eggs dto have eggs boiled51if you visit beijing palace museum, you _.awill see the old water clocks brokenbwill find the time shown by the old water clocks is wrongccan find the old water clocks still telling the time theredwill find the old water clocks have gone52in the middle ages the weight falling speed of a clock was kept by _.aseveral bowls ba system of wheelsca system of pendulum dseveral springs (弹簧) dis your schoolbag too heavy to bear? the e-schoolbag will free you from the weight.it is said that e-schoolbags are going to be brought into use in chinese middle schools soon. an experiment with several hundred e-schoolbags will begin in seven cities：beijing, shanghai, dalian, shenzhen, chongqing, taiyuan and shijiazhuang. and the e-schoolbags are going to cover all over china if the experiment shows to be successful. in fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-notebook. it is a small hand-held computer for school students.heavy schoolbags have long been a serious problem for school students. the average schoolbag of middle school students weighs up to 5 kilos. but the e-schoolbag will change everything. it is much lighter than a usual schoolbag, weighing less than 1 kilo.also, it is no bigger than a usual book, but it can still hold all the things for study, such as a textbook, a notebook and exercise book. they could be made into chips that are as small as a stamp. the students can read the text page by page on the screen. they can still take notes using a special electronic pen. if they want to know the meaning or the pronunciation of a new word, or even e-mail their teachers, its just a press of a button.in some foreign countries, it is becoming common. but it is hard to tell when people will receive this new form of study. some say that e-textbooks can easily be broken; some say that it is not good to students eyesight to look at the screen for long. but only time will tell.53the e-schoolbag has many functions except _.ait can pronounce the words. bit can send e-mails.cit can be used as a dictionary. dit can phone somebody. 54according to the passage, the e-schoolbags -_.aare not heavy as before but still large bare used as an experiment in tianjincare made of metal dare going to cover china if it shows to be successful55which of the following statement is true?aall the students in china will use this new schoolbag.bwe can do a lot of work based on the programmes of the chips.cthe e-notebooks are very perfect.dwe will not make notes because the e-notebook can make all by itself. 56which of the following can be the general title of the passage?aan experiment in china bplease change your schoolbagca new invention, a new schoolbag dchipse“body clocks” are biological methods of controlling body activities. every living thing has one. in humans, a body clock controls normal periods of sleeping and waking. it controls the times when you are most likely to feel pain. eating, sleeping and exercising at about the same time each day will help keep body activities normal. but changes in your lifea new job, for exampledestroy the balance and thus cause health problems. you could have difficulty sleeping, for example. scientists suggest that early afternoon is the best time of day for physical exercise. they say we are stronger and faster then. later, about four oclock, most people feel tired because of the drop of sugar level in the blood. early afternoon also is a good time to do tasks about memory(记忆) and mathematics. if you must study, however, do it just before going to sleep at night. scientists say you are more likely to r
