It had been a pleasantly
warm day, without much wind, and with enough cloud to prevent the heat of the
sun becoming too great. Charles had spent a long time studying the 36 of the water in the boat, and had
discovered that, by evening, it had
37 very slightly.

out suggested greater 39 than he felt equal to. One other
immediate problem had 40 his thoughts for a few moments. This was
the problem of Harcourt. Charles realized that he 41 put poor Harcourt in the sea. It should be simple matter and
take no more than a few seconds. Charles arranged in his mind exactly 42 it could easily be done, but his body did
not react to（反应）the 43 of his mind. Charles told himself
that it was his badly burnt hands that were the trouble. And there was nothing
to be done about them except not 44 them.
But
then, suddenly, almost without knowing how he did it, Charles moved, stood up,
bent 45 the body of poor
Harcourt, lifted it and let it slip as
46 as possible into the
sea. Afterwards he stood in the stern（船尾）of the
boat for a long time, watching the color of the sea 47and the sky become increasingly farther off with the coming
of the night. In a curious way he felt strangely happy. The problem of his 48 had not yet begun to trouble
him.
After
a time Charles’s returning interest in 49showed
itself in the simple form of hunger. With some difficulty, 50 the water in the boat, he 51 its stores and found food and
water in air-tight tins. He also found neat package wrapped in green oiled
silk. He unwrapped it and found maps. Neat, beautifully designed and 52 , spotlessly new, they 53 his knees and he was 54 alone in a world of water. At
that moment these clean official maps, correct in every detail, were as 55
as the sound of a human voice, as cheering as a candle in darkness.

Tea
drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in
Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding
out want tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It couldn’t be bought
in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland
did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure
how to use it. They though it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves.
Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their
mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give
them to their children as sandwiches.
Tea
remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India
Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century.
During the nest few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell
and many people could afford to buy it.
At
the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea.
Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French
lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was
added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without
milk. Because she was such a great lady, her friends also drank their tea with
milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only
very few Britons drink tea without milk.
At
first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought
of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess found that a cup of tea and a
piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling
“as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with he r and
so, tea-time was born.
56. According to the passage
which of the following is TRUE?
A.
The
Britons got expensive tea from India.
B.
Tea
reached Britain first from Holland.
C.
The
Britons were the first in Europe who drank tea.
D.
It was
no;t until the 17th century that the Briton had tea.
57. It seems that this
passage mainly discusses .
A.
what
British people thought of drinking tea
B.
how
tea became a popular drink in India
C.
how
the Europeans got the habit of drinking tea
D.
how
tea-time came into being
58. People in Europe began
to drink tea with milk because .
A. it tasted
like milk
B. it tasted more pleasant
C. it became a
popular drink
D. some famous persons did so
59.
From the passage we can learn that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was
mostly due to the influence of .
A. a famous
French lady
B. the ancient Chinese
C. the upper
social class
D. people in Holland

Taste
is such a subjective（主观的） matter that we don’t usually carry out
preference tests for food. The most you say about anyone’s preference is that
it’s one person’s opinion. But because the two big cola companies----Coca-cola
and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively（气势逼人）,
we’ve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in the choice of
brand. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified（确认） themselves as either Coca-cola or Pepsi fans: Find
your brand in a blind tasting. We invited staff volunteers who had a strong
liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. These
were people who thought they’d have no trouble telling their brand from the
other brand.
We
at last located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed
them four unidentified samples(样品) of cola one at a time, regular colas for
the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether
each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed（分析）the
records to compare the participants’（参加者）
choices with what mere guesswork could have achieved.
Getting
all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for
people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of
19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four
trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse---- only 7 out of 27
identified all four samples correctly.
While both groups did better than chance would
predict, nearly half the participants in each group make the wrong choice two
or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the
participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so
tiredness, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test
results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be
able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.
63. According to the passage
the preference test was given in order to .
A.
find
out the role taste preference plays in a person’s drinking
B.
find
out which cola is more popular to the drinkers
C.
show
that a person’s opinion about taste is mere guesswork
D.
compare
the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks
64. The records in the
preference tests show .
A.
Coca-Cola
and Pepsi are people’s two most favorite drinks
B.
There
is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi
C.
Few
people had trouble telling Coca-cola from Pepsi
D.
People’s
tastes differ from one another
65. It is implied in the
first paragraph that .
A.
the
purpose of taste tests is to increase the sale of Pepsi
B.
the
improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies
C.
the
competition between the two colas is very strong
D.
blind
tasting is necessary for identifying fans
66. The word “burnout” here refers to the
state of
.
A.
being
seriously burnt in the skin
B.
being
unable to burn for lack of fuel
C.being badly damaged by
fire
D. being unable to work
because of extreme use
67. The author’s purpose in
writing this passage is to .
A.
show
that taste preference is highly subjective
B.
argue
that taste testing is an important marketing planning
C.
explain
that taste and price are closely related to each other
D.
suggest
that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas
Society
was speeded up by science and technology in the nineteenth century. Great
breakthroughs in engineering, the use of steam power and electricity were there
for all to see, enjoy and suffer. Science is fashionable and it is not
surprising that, during this great period of industrial development, scientific
methods should be applied to(被应用于) the activities of man, particularly to
those involved in（有关联的） the processes of production. Towards the
end of the nineteenth century international competition began to make itself
felt. The three industrial giants of the day, Germany, America and Great
Britain, began to find that the purchasing（购买） power
of markets was obviously limited. Science and competition therefore provided
the means and the need to improve industrial efficiency.
Frederick
Winslow Taylor is generally known as the father of the scientific management
approach（方法）, as a result of the publication of his
book, The Principles of Scientific
Management, published in 1911. However, numerous other academics（学术界人士） and practitioners（实践者） had
been actively applying such approaches since the beginning of the century.
Charles Babbage, an English academic, well-known for his invention of the
mechanical computer (with the aid of a government grant as early as 1820)
applied himself to the costing of processes, using scientific methods, and indeed
might well be recognized as one of the fathers of cost accounting.
Taylor
was of well-to-do background and received an excellent education but, partly
owing to troubles with his eyesight, decided to become an engineering learner.
He spent some twenty-five years on the tough, sometimes cruel, environment of
the US steel industry and carefully studied methods of work when he finally
attained（获得） management position. He made various
significant innovations（改革） in the area of steel processing, but his
claim to fame is through his application of methods of science to methods of
work, and his personal efforts that proved they could succeed in an unfriendly
environment.
In
1901, Taylor left the steel industry and spent the rest of his life trying to
promote the principles of managing scientifically and emphasizing（强调） the human aspects of the method, over the
slave-driving methods common in his days. He died in 1915, leaving a huge
school of followers to promote（促进） his approach worldwide.
68. According to the passage, what was
badly needed to improve industrial efficiency?
A. Great breakthroughs. B.
Unlimited purchasing power.
C. Science and competition. D. International
competition.
69. Taylor is most famous for .
A.
his
application of scientific methods to work
B.
his
book “The Principles of Scientific Management”
C.
his
various innovations in steel processing
D.
the
spreading of his scientific management methods
70. Charles Babbage, an
English academic,
.
A.
tried
to use computers in production processes
B.
invented
jthe scientific management approach
C.
was
the father fo modern computers
D.
was
creative in cost accounting
71. Taylor’s scientific
management method was described as .
A.
scientific and human B.
efficient but slave-driving
C.
academic gut practicable
D. cruel but highly successful
72. What would be the best
title for this passage?
A.
Great
revolutions in science
B.
Taylor,
a scientific management giant
C.
Taylor
and Charles Babbage
D.
Relationship between science and competition
Sometimes,
when Tom Kratten and his 16-year-old daughter, Holland, listen to rock music
together and talk about pop culture ---- interests they both enjoy ---- he
recalls his more-distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
“I would never have said to my mom, ‘ Hey, the new Weezer album is really great
---- how do you like it?’” says Mr. Kratten. “There was just a compete gap in
sensibility and taste, a virtual（实际上的）
gulf.” Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities
and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to
revolve（旋转） in separate orbits.
Today,
the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is shrinking（变小） in many families. The old authoritarian approach to
discipline---- a stiff “Because I said so, that’s why”---- is giving way to a
new egalitarianism and a “Come, let us reason together” attitude. The result
can be a rewarding closeness among family members. Conversations that would not
have taken place a generation ago---- or that would have been awkward（棘手）, on subjects such as sex and drugs ----now are
comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports,
involve an easy friendship that can continue into adulthood. No wonder greeting
cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”
But
family experts caution（警告） that the new equality can also have a
downside, diminishing（减少） respect for parents. “There’s still a lot
of strict, authoritarian（权力主义的） parenting out there, but there is a change
happening,” says Kerrie Laguna, a mother of two young children and a psychology
professor at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pennsylvania. “In the middle
of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”
Family
researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.
They see the 1960s as a benchmark. Dramatic cultural shifts led to more open
communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a
say.
73. From the first
paragraph, we can conclude that .
A.
parents
and children with wide gaps often live separately
B.
parents
and children used to have an extremely wide generation gap
C.
father
and daughter very likely listen to rock music together
D.
parents
differ from their children in clothing and hairstyles
74.
According to the passage, family experts have attributed（归于） the new family relationship to .
A.
the
new egalitarianism（平等主义）
B.
the
evolving roles and attitudes
C.
C.
more open communication
D. changes in culture and
advances in democracy
75. Which of the following
statements is the main idea of the passage?
A.
The
concept of equality has diminished children’s respect for their parents.
B.
Authoritarian
parenting is giving way in American families.
C.
A new
close relationship is taking shape in American families.
D.
Children
used to have a distant relationship with their parents.
