But his positive attitude toward life has given hope to many people.Born in 1911 to a poor family in a small town in Illinois, his father was a failed salesman who drank too much. It was in these difficult times, though, that Reagan developed the powerful optimism (乐观) that would serve him so well. He always believed better times lying ahead, and this was reflected in his high school yearbook entry. Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music, he wrote.As a teenager, Reagan spent summers working as a lifeguard at a local beach, saving 77 lives in seven years. He graduated from college in 1932 with a degree in economics and sociology. But America was still in the middle of the Great Depression, and jobs were hard to find. Reagan finally found work as a radio sports announcer and this road led him to Hollywood in 1937.During the 20 year film career, he never became a leading star. As in his lifeguard days, Reagan loved to play the hero and only took the role of a bad guy once in more than 50 films.A talented speaker who was always able to connect with his audience, Reagan became involved in politics in the 1950s. This popular touch led to him being elected the governor of California in 1967.All the while, Reagan was in California, he had his eye on the White House. In 1980, aged 69, he became the oldest man ever elected president.He held office from 1981 to 1989, the first president to serve two complete terms after World War . When he left, aged 77, he held the highest popularity rate of any retiring president in US history.He remained positive even when he discovered he had an illness that would destroy him. I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal (永恒的) optimism for its future, he wrote.41.Reagan can be best described as a man with_.A. firmness B. humour C. optimism D. talent42.What didnt Reagan do in his life time?A. Playing the role of a bad guy. B. Being a leading star of the film.C. Saving peoples lives. D. Working as a radio sports announcer.43.Which is the correct order of events described in the passage?a. Reagan fought a losing battle against Alzheimers disease.b. Reagan became an actor.c. Reagan worked as a lifeguard.d. Reagan graduated from college.e. Reagan was elected the governor of California.A. a, c, d, e ,bB. e, c, d, b, a C. b, a, c, d, e D. c, d, b, e, a44.When the author of Reagans biography says The world was a vast opportunity for him, he really means that _.A. Reagan achieved much in his whole life B. Reagan could have done much betterC. Reagan did much for America and the world D. Reagan was a very lucky manBThe best advice young men and women can hear these days is not Get Rich. Its Go West.Those who hope to make their fortunes or, at the very least, find good jobs or life long careers have a better chance of doing so in China s western provinces than in the increasingly crowded eastern cities. Along the eastern coast, cities are filled with newcomers looking for work. They seek anything from the lowest-level unskilled jobs to the instant-millionaire Internet chance of lifetime. Few have found the latter, and few ever will.Some 160 years ago, young men and women streamed into New York, Philadelphia, Boston-the United States equivalent of Chinas Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing. All of these young people were searching for work, for riches; for fame. Few found any of that. The rest joined the masses working hard at low-level jobs trying to support themselves and their families.Horace Greeley, a well-known American newspaper editor of the period had sound advice for those seeking work. Do not, Greeley said, lounge (to stand or sit in a lazy manner) in the cities! There is room and health in the country, away from the crowds of idles (people who waste time doing nothing) and imbeciles (a person of weak mind). Go West In the mid- 19th century, when Greeley issued his call to go west, America was about to develop its western regions-much as China is today. Out west, the unemployed could find jobs.What was needed then in the America West is what is needed now in Chinas western regions; men and women with determination to make something of themselves, men and women with skills in any developing nation must have to survive and prosper.It has nothing to do with the Internet. It has nothing to do with becoming a movie star, pop music idol, or a Bill Gates clone. It has everything to do with reality.45. Why does the author think Go West is the best advice for young people in China?A. If they go west, they are sure to get rich.B. Chinas west is richer than its east.C. Eastern cities are too crowded to live in.D. There are more chances of success there than in the east.46. The author mentions young America of the 19th century becauseA. he wants young Chinese to learn from themB. he tries to show how they succeeded in the eastern citiesC. they were poor examples for todays young Chinese to followD. most of them preferred to work in the west47. The underlined word sound in the 4th paragraph meansA. what may be heardB. seem when heardC. produce a sound D. based on truth or good judgment48. What is needed in Chinas west now according to the writer?A. The Internet. B. Movie stars.C. People with skills. D. Pop music idols.CThe human body is a living machine, and like all machines, it needs fuel to supply it with energy. This is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy? The energy value of food is usually measured in calories. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 C. The number of calories people need per day is different, as the chat below shows. Also. the number of calories you use at any moment normally depends on the activity you are in. For example, you need more calories for standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on. The energy in food is mainly in the form of three kinds of chemical materials-carbohydrate, protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm(calories per gram)of energy, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm Each food contains different amounts of these materials, as the second chart Shows.Chart ICALORIES NEEDED PER DAYBABY750OFFICE WORKER2700CHILD AGED 82100WOMAN FEEDING BABY2700MAN OVER 702100BOY AGED 163000WOMAN3600FARMER2600Chart IIFATPROTEINCARBOHYDRATEMILK303040RlCE51085PEANUTS60301049._calories are required to raise the temperature of 5kg of water from 35C to 90C ?

A. a child aged 8 requires more than 3 times the amount of calories that a baby does B. a boy aged 16 requires nearly twice the amount of calories that a boy aged 8 does C. a mother with a baby to feed uses up more calories than a hard-working farmer each day D. an old man needs less calories than an 8-year-old boy on account of his less movement52.Which statement agrees with the passage and the charts above? A. You need more calories for swimming than for mountain climbing. B. Food contains energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins and fuel. C. Different people need different amounts of energy depending on their age, sex , and the activities they are in. D. 3 grams of milk provides 16.6 calories because carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal/gm, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm. DIn the decade of the 1970s, the United Nations organized several important meetings on the human environment to study a very serious problem. We humans are destroying the world around us. We are using up all of our natural resources. We must learn to conserve them, or life will be very bad for our children and grandchildren. There are several major aspects to this problem. Population. Most problems of the environment come from population growth. In 1700 there were 625 million people in the world; in 1900 there were 1.6 billion; in 1950, 2.5 billion; and in 1980, 4.4 billion. More people need more water, more food, more wood, and more petroleum. Distribution . Scientists say there is enough water in the world for everyone, but some countries have a lot of water and some have only a little. Some areas get all their rain during one season. The rest of the year is dry. Petroleum. We are using up the worlds petroleum. We use it in our cars and to heat our buildings in winter. Farmers use petro-chemicals to make the soil rich. They use them to kill insects on those plants. These chemicals go into rivers and lakes and kill the fish there. Thousands of people also die from these chemicals every year. Chemicals also go into the air and pollute it. Winds carry this polluted air to other countries and other continents. Poverty. Poor farmers use the same land over and over. The land needs a rest so it will be better next year. However, the farmer must have food every year. Poor people cut down trees for firewood. In some areas when the trees are gone, the land becomes desert. However, people need wood to cook their food now. Poor people cant save the environment for the future. We now have the information and the ability to solve these huge problems. However, this is not a problem for one country or one area of the world. It is a problem for all humans. The people and the nation of the world must work together to conserve the worlds resources. No one controls the future, but we all help make it.53We humans are destroying our .Aenvironment Bfarms Careas Ddesert54Most environment problems come from .Aforests Bpopulation growth Ctoo much rain Dgood distribution55Good distribution means .Ahaving things in the right place at the right timeBcutting down forests and selling them to other countriesCbuilding water systems to carry water to farmsDconserving our natural resource.56Poor farmers don t give their land a rest because Athey dont have petro - chemicals to kill insectsBthey need firewoodCthey need more waterDthey dont have enough land to let some of it rest each year EPut yourself in these tourists position. You are walking an icy mountain path in the Alps in Europe. Suddenly you spot a body on the ground, face downward and stuck to the ice. You think someone may have been murdered or in a fatal accident. So you rush back and call the police. The police, however, quickly realize that this body is different form others theyve found on the mountain. For one thing, it is mostly undamaged. For another, its skin is dried out, like a mummys. And with it is a knife with a small stone knife.The body turned out to be much older than the tourists could have guessed. When specialists had a chance to examine it, they discovered it had been there for about five thousand years!How could a body stay preserved for all th
