He emigrated（移居）to the United States of America when he was seventeen years old. His brothers sold cloth, and he worked for them even though he could not speak English very well. At this time many people were moving to California because gold was discovered there. Strauss went to look for gold, too.Strauss took a lot of cloth with him to San Francisco. He thought that he could make tents out of the cloth and sell them to people working in the gold fields. But when he got there, he saw that people had a greater need for clothes than tents. Clothes did not last very long in the gold fields. At first Strauss made pants out of canvas（帆布）. They were very strong - much stronger than other pants. Soon everyone was wearing them, so he decided only to make pants. He opened a small store and made a lot of money from selling pants.After a while, Strauss found a material even stronger than canvas. It came from a town in France called Nimes. The French called the material serge de Nimes, which means “cloth from Nimes”. The Americans called it denim. Strauss also bought some cloth from Genoa, a town in Italy. To Americans this name sounds like “jeans”, so they called his pants jeans. The cloth that Strauss used was always blue, so people also called his pants blue jeans and blue denims. Other people called them Levis. Levi Strauss jeans are some of the best-selling jeans in the world today. They last a long time and are very comfortable.41.

A. where cloth came fromB. the man who first made jeansC. how to make lots of moneyD. life on the gold fieldsB If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to grasp what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar(不熟悉). You can not enjoy a story if you stop half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this. When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to rely mainly on(依靠) the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main thread(主线) of the story. In all probability(可能) you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it your understanding of it will become more exact.45.

But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students. Its no doubt to call this HK craze(狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves. How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarships, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, its easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual(双语的) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK？Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees are among students top concern when they are choosing universities. Its time to move.53. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. Some thought brought by the enrollment of Hong Kong universitiesB. Higher education in Hong Kong C.

A. many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience. B. HK universities offer higher scholarships, better environment and more opportunities for their further study C. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities. D. Peking University has lost its worldwide reputation55. From the passage we can see HK universities_. A. didnt mean to enroll top students from mainland B. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities C. didnt expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular D. have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there56. What does the author mean by saying “Its time to move.” in the last paragraph? A. Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students. B. The opportunities come for top students to study abroad C. HK universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities. D. Top students should be offered further education free of chargeEAn old woman diverted ( 转移 ) attention from the book when I was sitting in my car. She walked slowly towards my parked car with a large shoulder bag. She stopped and put a hand out to rest against the car. She gently closed her eyes, took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off her forehead. Was there a way I could do anything to help her? But I wondered if the lady noticed me sitting inside the car, she would feel embarrassed and walk away.I stilled my body while my mind searched for answers. I turned my head towards my driver, wanting him to ask the lady if we could give her a ride. Because of my head movement, she noticed me and moved her hand away from the car. Her calm expression changed to a cautious one. I grabbed the water bottle next to me, smile, gently opened the door and offered the bottle to her. She looked at me hesitatingly, shook her head with downcast ( 低垂的 ) eyes and walked away.I was so annoyed with myself. I should have been more careful not to move. However, she was back I opened the door and patted the seat next to me. She sat down, opened her bag and offered me a banana. I took it and offered her the water bottle again. She took it. I ate, she drank and we smiled. She rested for a couple of minutes.Those minutes brought such tranquility ( 宁静 )to me. She took my head in both her hands and kissed my forehead, and then she left. I was trying to help someone in distress. In turn, I became distressed and she took away my distress and replace it with tranquility.57. What did the author want to do when the old
