anything from the people in the village Once these veterans held a reunion dinner in the home of Jules Grandin who had made a good deal of money Grandin produced a curiosity 珍玩 a large old gold coin Each man examined it with interest as it passed around the long table All however had drunk wine freely and the room was full of noisy talk so that the gold piece was soon forgotten Later when Grandin remembered it and asked for it the coin was missing One of them suggested everyone be searched to which all agreed except Blustering You refuse then asked Grandin Blustering said with a red face Yes I cannot allow it 5 One by one the others turned out their pockets When the coin failed to appear attention was focused on poor Blustering Under the pitying stares of his friends he walked out and returned to his home A few years later Grandin made his house repaired A workman found the gold coin buried in dirt between planks 木板 of the floor Hurrying to Blustering s home Grandin apologized to him But why didn t you allow yourself be searched Because I was a thief Blustering said brokenly For weeks we had not had enough to eat and my pockets were full of food that I had taken from the table to carry home to my wife and hungry children 46Francis Blustering lived a poor life because A he was badly wounded in the battle B he was unable to work like ordinary people C he was too proud to get on well with other people D he was waiting for his chance 47The coin was missing because A all the friends were drunk B the room was too noisy C they were too excited to pay attention to it D

hidden somewhere in the room D poor Blustering had hidden some food in his pockets 49 What can we learn from the story A Think twice before you make a judgment B Blustering is a poor father and husband C Blustering would rather live alone than be considered a thief D Blustering is an example we should learn from B In today s world almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people s health However not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution and that is harmful to human health 6 too People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf Today however scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work Many of the workers who print newspapers and books and who weave 织 cloth become deaf Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65 year old persons for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise Besides noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people s life difficult and unpleasant or even make people ill or even drive them mad It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels 分贝 can cause deafness Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels In China the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems 50 The passage is mainly about A air pollution B water pollution C noise pollution D world pollution 51 According to the passage a continuous noise of decibels can make people deaf A less than 85 B less than 65 C about 65 D more than 85 52 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because A they are working in noisy places B they often listen to pop music C they live near airports D they are too busy to listen to others talk C Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need It has been shown that rats will when given a choice over a period of time prefer water with vitamins 维生素 to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles When a sweet smell was added to the vitamins enriched water the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it even after the vitamins were changed to the clear water In time 最后 7 however they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were In experiments babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a room with a wide choice of baby food before them They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating habits but that over a period of time they managed to choose a well balanced diet So in choosing food rats and babies do seem to know and act on what s best for them Clearly there is a kind of body wisdom which humans soon lose Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by old habits Some people eat foxes dogs and blackbirds while we eat cows and pigs So what people eat and how many they eat seem to be greatly influenced by what is going around them 53 In the experiment on rats a sweet smell was added to the rats drinking water to A encourage rats to drink vitamins enriched water B find out rats preference in flavor 口味 C test whether rats know which drink is good for them D show the vitamins are tasteless 54 Talking about eating habits babies and rats are just like each other because A both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet B both prefer flavored food and drink C both have the same eating habits D both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors 55 In the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph babies were A given many choices of drinks B given all kinds of baby food C placed and fed in a hospital D trained to select a balanced diet 56 According to the passage grown up people s eating habits differ from those of babies in that A they know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health B they usually cannot say no to all kinds of delicious foods 8 C their eating habits have much to do with the social and cultural customs 文化习俗 D they have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns D Basic Study Manual Hardcover 37 50 Future success depends on the ability to learn Here are the answers to the questions most often asked by parents

directions which is very difficult to follow When you the audience confuse your listeners with opposing information you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself work to get the facts clear and straight 63 Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus 责任 on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization And it s confusing for them to listen reorganize and figure out what you re saying all at once But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily You can arrange things from beginning to end small to large top to bottom or by some other order Just be sure to organize 64 Repeated use of um ah like you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can t pay attention Recently I attended a
