two?” the students moved restlessly in their seats.“one, then? certainly somebody finished 48 .” but the class remained silent.the professor put down the papers. “that is exactly what i 49 ,” he said. “i just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 50 many things about the 51 you dont know. these questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday 52 .” then, smiling, he added, “you will all 53 this course, but remembereven though you are now college graduates, your education had just 54 .”the years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the 55 he taught. 36. a. secondsb. minutesc. hoursd. days37. a. onlyb. firstc. veryd. last38. a. wouldb. mustc. had tod. used to39. a. gladb. readyc. sorryd. nice40. a. interestingb. necessaryc. easyd. unusual41. a. nob. eitherc. anyd. some42. a. listen tob. look atc. care ford. talk to43. a. hardlyb. happilyc. quicklyd. carefully44. a. appearedb. changedc. failedd. stopped45. a. thenb. asc. befored. after46. a. pleasedb. worriedc. surprisedd. moved47. a. notb. oncec. onlyd. even48. a. allb. nonec. oned. it49. a. wonderedb. enjoyedc. hatedd. expected50. a. evenb. alreadyc. sod. still51. a. examb. subjectc. questiond. college52. a. jobb. classc. practiced. study53. a. passb. failc. taked. start54. a. begunb. completedc. failedd. succeeded55. a. subject b. things c. words d. lessons第四部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） aplants are very important living things. life could not go on if there were no plants. this is because plants can make food from air，water and sunlight. animals and man cannot make food from air， water and sunlight. animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. this is why we find that there are so many plants around us. if you look carefully at the plants around you， you will find that there are two kinds of plants： flowering plants and non-flowering plants. flowering plants can make seeds. the seeds are protected by the fruits. some fruits have one seed， some have two， three or four， and some have many seeds. but a few fruits have no seeds at all. an example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. they grow from spores（胚芽）。 spores are very small. some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. we may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. when these spores are all on wet and shady places， they usually grow into new plants.56. the main idea of the first paragraph is that _. a. plants are important for life b. plants cannot grow without air c. there are many plants in the world d. we can not live without water57. plants can make food from_. a. flower, water and air b. water，sunlight and air c. air，water and soil d. air，sun and light58. what can we infer（推断） from the passage ？ a. of all living things animals are most important b. without plants， man will die out c. all fruits of flowering plants have seeds d. spores are seeds59this passage may be taken from_. a. a medicine book b. a science magazine c. a novel d. an experiment report b i suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. looking down, i immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. there i saw ma shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. her calf was floating and screaming with fear. ma shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away. there was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mothers body and was gone. ma shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock. just at this moment, she felt back into the river. if she were carried down, it would be certain death. i knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf. while i was wondering what i could do next，i heard the sound of a mothers lovema shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring(吼叫)all the time，but to her calf it was music60the moment the author got down to the river bank he saw athe calf was about to fall into the river bma shwe was placing the calf on the rock cthe calf was washed away by the rising water dma shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water61how did ma shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water? aby putting it on a safe spot bby pressing it against her body cby taking it away with her dby carrying it on her back62how did the calf feel about the mother elephants roaring? ait was a musical note bit was a sign of danger cit was a call for help. dit was a great comfort63what can be the best title for the text?a.a mothers love b.a brave actc.a deadly river d.a matter of life and deathc when the famous dancer fred was interviewed for a job by a hollywood producer , the movie expert turned him down, saying,”cant sing. cant act. dances a little.” heres another stupid mistake. when the great scientist albert einstein was at school, his teachers considered him rather dull. and a final story, the famous polish pianist paderewski was told by a teacher that hed never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.what lessons can be drawn from these three experiences? first, true genius (天才） cannt be suppressed(压抑）for some reason or other it works its way out. second, early judgments of a persons abilities may be unfair or just wrong. third, when there is a real determination to succeed, obstacles fall by the wayside.the famous motto “ad astra per aspera” can be translated as “ to the stars through hardships”. astaire, einstein and paderewski proved their critics wrong.64. which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
