On Midsummers Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back till midday on Sunday, the men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out rabbitting, without bothering (麻烦) to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa. With the News of the world over his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the store-house with her horns (角) and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains, It was Just than that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the store-house with whips in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with their horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen animals act like this before, and this sudden uprising of creatures whom they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose, frightened them After only a moment or two they gave up trying to defend themselves a minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road, with the animals running after them joyfully.51.

We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains A. great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be baldPerhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.56. The passage mainly tells us that_.A. mans life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. mans organs functions will be one the wane57. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever hadB. Mans hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.58. The change in mans size of forehead is probably because_A. he makes use only 20 % of the brains capacity.B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time.D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.59. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesnt have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.60. It is implied that _.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictable.Passage 3McDonalds is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And the companys symbol Ronald McDonald is now （or so the company claims） the words most recognized person after Santa. Claus.The first McDonalds restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac. and Richard “dick” McDonald Mac. ran the restaurant side; dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray a Kroc. who owned the franchise to the MultiMate, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonalds chain. A year later, Kroc, had bought the McDonald brothers chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m（44m）. Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc. fell out over Krocs claim that the chain was his creation.Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc. （who died in 1984） at McDonalds, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc. did not found McDonalds, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac.（1968） and the Egg McDuffie（1973）; and helped launch Ronald McDonald “in any language he means fun” on to television in 1963.Every three hours, a new McDonalds franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India（vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace）and Israel (non kosher, despite fierce local objection. McDonalds chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If youve got time to lean, youve go time to clean.”61.

There is another large reservoir(知识库)which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman(工匠)has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them. The information from them differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical(理论的)part- the explanations of why things happen - is frequently quite fantastic(神奇的). But the demonstration(示范) and report of what happens, and how it happens are correct even if t
