The ice trade grew with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War (1861-1865), as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families of their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, a precursors of modern refrigerator, had been invented.Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of physics of heat, which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was rudimentary. The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was melting of the ice that performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to pay a premium(奖金) price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks. One advantage of his icebox, Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to keep their produce cool.51. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The influence of ice on the diet.B. The development of refrigeration.C. The transportation of goods to market.D. Sources of ice in the nineteenth century.52. According to the passage, when did the word “icebox” become part of the language of the United States?A. in 1803 B. sometime bore 1850C. during the civil war D. near the end of the nineteenth century.53. The phrase “forward-looking” in line 3 is closest in meaning to_.A. progressive B. popular C. thrifty D. well-established54. The author mentions “fish” in the passage because _.A. many fish dealers also sold ice.B. fish was shipped in refrigerated freight cars.C. fish dealers were among the early commercial users of iceD. fish was not part of the ordinary persons diet before the invention of the icebox.BIf Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day ,few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学).Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.55.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to.A. provide some key facts about ConfuciusB. attract the readers interest in the subjectC. show great respect for the ancient thinkerD. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations56.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students.A. have a great interest in studying ChineseB. take an active part in Chinese competitionsC. try to get high scores in Chinese examsD. fight for a chance to learn Chinese57. What is the best title for the passage?A. Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB. Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC. Chinese Culture for WesternersD. Old Thinker with a Big Future58.The passage is likely to appear in.A. a biography B. a history paperC. a newspaper D. a philosophy textbookCIsaac Stern was more than a great violin player.

Later, he began studying music at the San Francisco Conservatory (音乐学院).He progressed quickly. When he was 16, he played with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. The next year, he performed in New York City and was praised by music critics.During World War , Mr. Stern played for thousands of American soldiers. It was the first time many of them had heard classical music. After the war, he was the first American violinist to perform in a concert in the Soviet Union. He also supported young musicians and cultural organizations in Israel.In 1979, Isaac Stern visited China. He met with Chinese musicians and students. He taught them about classical Western music. His visit was made into a film, which is called From Mao to Mozart: Isaac Stern in China. It won an Academy Award for best documentary film.In 1984, Isaac Stern received the Kennedy Center Honors Award for his gifts to American culture through music.

He said he believed that music makes life better for everyone, especially children.Mr. Stern supported and guided younger classical musicians.

Which of the following shows the RIGHT structure of the text?A. B.C. D.DA private group of scientists has announced plans to make an exact copy of a human being. An American member of the team says he and the others will soon begin a serious effort to clone humans. Panos Zavos says the team hopes to manufacture the worlds first cloned baby within the next two years.In recent years, scientists have produced exact genetic copies of sheep and a few other animals. They created these clones from a single cell of an adult animal.Three years ago, another American doctor, Richard Seed, announced plans to clone a human being. However, there is no evidence that he has been successful.Doctor Zavos says the new international group plans to offer human cloning only to women who are currently not able to become pregnant or produce children. He says the aim is to assist people who want to have their own biological child.The technology would be similar to that used to clone animals. It would involve cleaning genetic material from a womans egg. Doctors then would place genetic material from the womans husband into the egg before putting it into the womans uterus(子宫).Doctor Zavos says his group plans to do the work in a country near the Mediterranean Sea. He did not name the country. He says an Italian reproductive expert, Sevorino Antinori, is leading the team. Doctor Antinori has led the efforts to help many older women become pregnant. He is known for establishing pregnancies in women as old as sixty.Many medical experts and other groups are opposed to the idea of cloning humans. Several countries ban or restrict work on human cloning. Several doctors criticize the announcement by Doctor Zavos. They say doctors do not know if cloning humans is possible or safe. They say it would be irresponsible to attempt to clone a human being. That is because the chances of success are too small and the risks are too great.63. The underlined word “manufacture” in the first paragraph means “_”.A. produceB. opposeC. attemptD. experiment64. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. In theory, scientists are unlikely to clone humans.B. Richard Seed has fallen behind other scientists in cloning humans.C. Cloning human beings is good for men.D. People have different ideas about cloning humans.65.How do many medical experts and other groups like the idea of cloning humans？A. They are in favour of the idea.B. They are against the idea.C. They have an optimistic attitude to the idea.D. They think it is none of their business.EPart II: 阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意66至70四个小题后面的词数要求;每题2分，共10分)。1Ashley Powers mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thi
