The secretary could tell in a moment that such country people had no business at Harvard. She frowned(皱眉). “We want to see the president,” the man said softly. “Hell be busy all day,” the secretary said coldly. “Well wait,” the lady replied.For hours, the secretary didnt talk to them, hoping that the couple would finally become tired and go away. They didnt. And the secretary finally decided to disturb the president. “Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, theyll leave,” she told him. He frowned too. Someone of his importance obviously didnt have the time to spend with them.The president walked toward them unwillingly. The lady told him, “We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard, and was very happy here. But he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to set up a memorial(纪念碑) to him somewhere on campus. ” The president was so surprised that he shouted sharply, “We cant put up a statue(塑像) for every person who attended Harvard and died. This place would look like a cemetery (墓地).“Oh, no” the lady explained, “We dont want to build a statue. We thought we would give a building to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at their plain clothes, and said with surprise, “A building! Do you have any idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard.”For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a university? Why dont we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they set up the university with their name, Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.30 .

We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highlycompetitivewith cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, theyre cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesnt stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we cant fly in because we dont have enough money to buy the oil.39 . （小题1）Some people think railways are dying because_.Aplanes and cars are expensiveBoil is expensive todayCtrains are slowDrailways look ugly40 . （小题2）The writer thinks that railways are much alive because_.Athey are cheaper and more convenientBthere arent any planes or carsCwe can have a comfortable journeyDwe feel dangerous on highways41 . （小题3）According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?AIt is cheaper to travel by train than by planeBThe railway station is usually at the center of the city.CWhen you get off a plane you will find yourself right in the city center.DNo car or plane can carry as many goods as a train.42 . （小题4）What does the underline wordcompetitiveprefer to?A参与性的B性价比高的C竞争性的D对比性的43 . （小题5）The best title for this passage may be _.AWhich is the Best, Train, Car or Plane?BRailways, not the End, but the BeginningCTrains are More Competitive than Cars or PlanesDOh, Super-fast Trains四、句型转换同义句转换。44 .

So how can you keep away from this kind of situation? Learn how to speak English smoothly. Here are 4 English speaking tips you must know to become a more confident English speaker.1. Listen first.One of the best English speaking tips is to listen carefully every day. Most people turn to textbooks to study English grammar rules, but you cannot learn the correct English pronunciation of the words just by reading them. You dont need to learn grammar in detail because this prevent you from speaking English well.Instead, listen to how native（母语） English speakers pronounce and watch their mouths movements. Also watch English shows and movies to build on your English accen（口音）and make your vocabulary（词汇）better.2. Practice makes perfect.Studies show that itll probably take three months to practice every day in order to have strong mouth muscles（肌肉）. Read aloud in English for 30 minutes a day in front of the mirror, which helps with your English communication skills.3. Think in English.One of the most effective English speaking tips is to think in English. What most English learners do in the early stages of learning is that they think of what they have to say in their native language, translate and then say it in English.

Be more confident.All these English speaking tips will be useless if you are not confident in your English speaking skills.Try to relax if you
