He walked with his head down. Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street, painted on the side of an old house. On the sign a big woman with yellow hair and a five-mile smile held out a big bottle. “Coca-Cola. Drink-Cola-Cola,” the sign said.“Boy!” the silence was cut by a sudden cry. He turned around quickly to see who had called.An old woman was standing at her door.“You boy! Come here this minute!”Slowly the boy 21 onto the cold flat stones leading to the old womans house.

After arriving, we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded by cliffs. If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.We ate rather slowly, talking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river -we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep(悄悄移动)down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.41. The writer in the text mainly tells us _.A. the story of his childhood B. a strange camping experienceC. about a stranger by the river D. about a good place for camping42. Why did the boys eat their supper slowly?A. They wanted to delay going to the river bank. B. They were waiting for their scoutmaster.C. They had a supper earlier than usual . D. They were talking while eating.43. The word bewildered in the text probably means _.A. ashamed B. nervous C. unable to understand D. eager to know something44. When he heard what had happened, the scoutmaster _.A. realized who the man was B. started to worry about the manC. went back to look for the man D. felt it hard to believe the boysB. The PenPeople have never been satisfied with simply talking. For some reason, they have always considered their ideas to be so important that they have always tried to find ways to record them on paper. People have developed many systems of writing; they have also developed various tools with which to write.One of the first instruments developed by people for writing was the stylus. It was a sharp instrument made of bone or metal, and with it, the writer could make marks on stone or wood. It was used for thousands of years and was very practical.When the Egyptians invented the first paper-like material called papyrus, they needed something to write on it. Therefore, they developed the idea of using pen and ink. Their version of the pen was made from bamboo. They sharpened one end of the stem (or the body) to make a nib, that is, the point which you write with. Then they filled the empty part of the stem with ink and forced the ink onto the nib. It was a good idea, but when paper was introduced later, a much finer instrument was needed.The problem was solved with the introduction of the quill pen. The quill is a large feather from the wing or tail of a bird. Because this pen was a feather, however, it had to be sharpened quite often. A special instrument was made for this purpose: the penknife.The quill was used from the 6th through the 18th century, but in the 19th century a machine was invented to make a nib out of metal, and this solved the problem of sharpening. The metal nib could be fitted into a holder and dipped into a bottle of ink. Finally, in 1884, a young American, Lewis Waterman, found a way of putting the ink into the holder, and the fountain pen as we know it was complete.45.According to the text, people have developed various systems of writing because they _.A. have tried to find new ways B. have been satisfied with what they haveC. have invented tools to write with D. have wanted to write down what they think46.The quill pen was better than the stylus because people could _.A. sharpen it frequently B. write finely on paperC. force the ink onto the nib D. make clear signs on stone47.A nib made from metal was an advantage because _.A. it was used for many centuries B. it didnt need to be sharpenedC. the pens couldnt be filled with ink D. people could fit it into a bottle of ink48.Which of the following is TRUE?A. People could write on paper with the stylus.B. The quill pen was developed by the Egyptians.C. The fountain pen was developed in the 6th century.D. People could use ink with a pen made from bamboo.CA new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as a result of a condition known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane. People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days. They may also have problems thinking clearly and remembering.Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study, which involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines. They had served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas.The researcher took some saliva(唾液) from the womens mouths to measure levels of a hormone (荷尔蒙) that increases during stress. He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen. And he took pictures of their brains to measure the size of the brains temporal lobes (脑叶).It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test. And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones.The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember went worse after working on planes for about four years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory.Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain. They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory.49. According to the text, jet lag _.A. can cause difficulties in speaking B. can make people feel tired for a few monthsC. can be only found in flight attendants D. can be caused by flying over several time zones50. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. scientists refuse to accept that jet lag could permanently affect memoryB. scientists fear that this research is not done properlyC. memory is closely connected with the size of the brains right temporal lobesD. the women who were examined in the research were not healthy51. From the result of the research we can see that _.A. the women who have a longer rest between long flights show better memoryB. the women who fly for a short time have smaller right temporal lobesC. the women who have longer flights fail the memory testD. the women who rest more than 14 days produce more hormones52. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A. The cause of jet lag.B. The way to avoid jet lag.C. The importance of having enough rest after flights.D. A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain.DViolin prodigies（神童）, I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers if the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the worlds greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,” he told me. “They were all Jews（犹太人）and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parents dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture（培育）talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stem, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.Thats a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy .J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.53. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because _. 【正确答案】A A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talent C. they wanted their children to enter into the professional field D. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country54. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that _.
