And good writers, like good-cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo(经历) an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose is; school-work, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be very great. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes that whatever we write is read, from first word to last. Not just thrown into “letters-to-be-read” file or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.56. In this passage, good writing is compared to fine food because .A. both writers and cooks have to work long hours every dayB. both are necessary to lifeC. both writers and cooks can earn a good livingD. both are enjoyable57. The author thinks that the most important reason for us to practice writing skills is to .A. earn our livingB. attract others to readC. do daily reports easilyD. become good secretaries58. According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some “letters-to-be-read” file, .A. it will receive immediate attention B. it will be dealt with by the secretaryC. it is likely to be passed over D. it is meant to be delivered soon59. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to .A. comment and blameB. introduce and describeC. explain and persuadeD. interest and inform(B)Everyone has a childhood full of dreams. Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I, we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happens, that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist, up to point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.60. The first paragraph tells us the author .A. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodB. lost his hearing when he was a childC. didnt like his brothers and sisters D. was born to a naturalists family61. The author cant remember his relatives clearly because .A. he didnt live very long with themB. the family was extremely largeC. he was too young when he lived with themD. he was fully occupied with observing nature62. It can be inferred from the passage that the author was .A. a scientist as well as a naturalistB. a naturalist but not a scientistC. no more than a born naturalistD. first of all a scientist63. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he .A. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticB. lacks some of the qualities required of a scientistC. just reads about other peoples observations and discoveriesD. comes up with solutions in a most natural way64. According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be .A. full of hopeB. full of enthusiasmC. knowledgeableD. self-disciplined(C)Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to ones life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So in spite of all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be got, the number of people who didnt have breakfast increased by 33%from 8.8 million to 11.7 millionaccording to the Chicago-based Marken Research Corporation of America.For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for grown-ups especially. There may be nothing wrong with leaving out breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,” said Amold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate (不充分的), and most of the recent work involves children, not grown-ups. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Pollitt at the University of Texan, “is poor.”65. The main idea of the passage is .A. breakfast has nothing to do with peoples healthB. a good breakfast used to be important to usC. breakfast is not as important to us as gasoline to a carD. breakfast is still as important as us we thought before66. The underlined part “nor does giving people breakfast improve work” means .A. people without breakfast can improve their workB. not giving people breakfast improves workC. having breakfast does not improve work, eitherD. people having breakfast do improve their work, too67. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is thatA. several studies have been done in the past yearsB. the omission of breakfast does no harm to ones healthC. grown-ups have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health68. What is implied but not stated by the author is that .A. breakfast does not affect workB. Dr. Pollitt works at the University of TeaxasC. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London(D)On May 29，1973，Thomas Bradley, a black man, was elected mayor of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States, with a population of three million. About sixteen percent of the citys population are black.News of this election appeared on the front pages of newspapers everywhere in the United States. Here is how one of the newspapers reported the event:LOS ANGELES ELECTS BRADLEYMAYOR UNSEATING YORTYBLACK WINS 56% OF VOTESBradley called his victory over Yorty “the fulfillment(实现) of a dream”. During his childhood and youth, people had kept telling him, “You cant do this, you cant go there, because you are a Negro.” Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory over a man who had been the citys mayor for three terms. Bradley had won 43. 7 percent.Los Angeles has had many opportunities to judge Thomas Bradley and to form an opinion of him. The son of a poor farmer Texas, he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940. During his twenty one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night. He was elected to the city council ten years ago.At the time of the Los Angeles election, three other American cities already had black mayors, but none of those cites had as large a population as large a population as Los Angeles. Besides, the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. Cleveland , Ohio, had thirty-six percent black when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967. In the same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Gary, Indiana, which had fifty-five percent black. In Newark, New Jersey, sixty percent of the population were black when Kenneth Gibson was elected in 1970. Thus election of a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising.In Los Angeles thousands of white citizens voted for Thomas Bradley because they believed he would be a better mayor than the white candidate. Bradley had spent forty-eight of his fifty-five years in Lo
