Alex felt restless. Along with his sister Rosita and his friend
Hugo, Alex had been 36 in the cave for nearly three hours expecting
either an 37 from the returning robbers or the
arrival of a 38 party, but nothing happened.
“I do hope Ruark is all right,” she said, “her eyes on the view look
39 .”
“I’m sure he’s okay,” answered Alex. “I’m certain the enemy thought
it was a(n) 40 attack.
Anyway, they were too busy rushing to 41 in their landrover (越野车) to waste time 42 at a condor (神鹰). I’m not worried about him. What
I am worried about, though, are the 43
on that tape that was fastened to Ruark’s leg. I keep saying the
words to myself: What about the cave? There’s a two-metre hole at the back of
it. 44 will find it. There are so many caves… The money they stole is
45 somewhere out there and I should
46 them to come back and take it from under our noses.”
“Well,” replied his sister, “you 47 what the man said. There
are so many 48 . At a guess, I can see about two
hundred of them dotted 49 .
It could take a week to look in them all.”
“Yes. It’s a clever 50 place, but I think we’ve one 51 that might help us. Ruark stayed
somewhere near enough for the 52 to pick up their voices. He was
probably 53 just above the entrance. Condors are not exactly tiny birds
54 he may have been on a shelf or overhanging rock 55 enough to take
his big feet and body.” He half closed his eyes against the strong light
outside and tried to examine the opposite side of the valley.

B
One of the qualities that most people admire in others in the
willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a
simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say , “I
was wrong, and you were right about that.”
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he
had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a
certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I
remembered the egg cartons（in many countries, eggs are sold by the dozen and are put in
cartons.）Then he
related an incident（event, matter）and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at the time. I went into the store with
my mother to do some shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way
to the food department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there
were lots of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put three
or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of the piles of egg cartons. Just
then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the cartons. For
some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the eggs back together, so I went
to work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had
happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to
see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the
one who just did it. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any
broken eggs. I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly
forgot all about the incident, it is plain that the manager did not.
60. According
to this passage, many people will have a good opinion of those who________.
A. have never made any mistakes
B. often make mistakes but correct them in no time
C. admit their mistakes
D. forget other people’s mistakes easily
61. Which is
the correct order of the following？
a. I forgot all about the incident.
b. I went into the store.
c. A woman knocked off the egg cartons.
d. I stood in front of the egg cartons.
e. The manager reminded me of the incident.
f. The manager didn’t believe my explanation.
g. I picked up the unbroken eggs.
A. b; d; g; c; a; f; e B.
b; d; c; g; f; e; a
C. b; c; d; g; e; f; a D.
b; d; c; g; f; a; e
62. The word
“reprimanded” in the last paragraph most exactly means ________.
A. frightened B.
scolded C. warned D.
comforted
63. The best
title for this passage should be________.
A. A Case of Mistake B.
The Manager I Never Forget

An Incident 15 Years Ago
C
“It’s over! Thank goodness!”
School was over and I was tired. I sat at the front of the school
bus.
Janie, the driver, tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere(气氛) by striking the match of talks.
I try to listen politely, but usually I’m too busy thinking about my day. On this
day, however, her talk was worth listening to.
“My father’s ill,” she said to no one in particular(特别地). I could see worry in her eyes.
I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students with a smile.
With a sudden chance of interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
With her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, “Heart trouble”.
Her eyes lowered as she continued. “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think
I can stand losing him.” I couldn’t answer. My heart ached for her.
I sat on the seat thinking of the great pain my own mother was
thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her.
I wouldn’t want anyone to go through that.
Suddenly I realized(意识到)Janie wasn’t only a bus driver, that was just her job. She had a whole
world of family and cares too.
I shouldn’t have been so selfish(自私的). I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had
judged(判断) her by her
job and brushed her off as unimportant.
I shouldn’t have been so selfish and self-centred(以自己为中心).
Understanding people is an art.
64. When the
students get on the school bus, Janie usually ______.
A. listens
to music
B.
talks about her own worry
C. sits on
her seat without words

meets them with a smile
65. After
she learned Janie’s story, the writer thought of ______.
A. her father’s
death B. her mother’s pain
C. the ache of
her own heart
D.
the pain of Janie’s parents
66. Why did
the writer feel selfish? Because ______.
A. she had
never had Janie as anything except a driver
B. she had
made only a few friends in the school
C. she had hardly
thought of herself
D. She had
never listened to others
67. In this passage
the writer tries to tell us that ________.
A. losing parents
makes people sad and helpless

the people around us takes time

try to look deeper into the people around us
D. it’s not
right to judge the people around us by their clothes
D
Rome—Doctors and
medical groups around the world last weekend reacted with strong opposition to
the news that an Italian specialist is on the brink of cloning the first
human baby.
Dr.Severino Antinori,
who is the head of a hospital in Rome, has been referred to in an Arab
newspaper as claiming that one of his patients is eight weeks pregnant（怀孕）with a cloned baby.
Antinori
refused to comment on the reports, but in March 2001 he said he hoped to
produce a cloned embryo（卵）for implantation within two years. So far seven different kinds of
mammals have already successfully cloned, including sheep, cats and most
recently rabbits.
Doctors
showed their doubt and were strongly opposed although they admit that human
cloning would finally come true unless there was a world wide ban on the
practice.
Professor
Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology: “I find it astonishing that people do
this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby. It is
using humans as guinea pigs. It makes people feel sick.”
But Ronald
Green, director of the Ethics Institute at Darmouth College in the US, said it
is unlikely that an eight-week-old pregnancy would lead to a birth.
So far all
cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders, many of
them dying soon after their births.
Doctors are
opposed to human cloning because they are worried about the welfare of the
cloned child if there is one.
“There are no benefits
of cloned human beings, just harm,” said Dr .Michael Wilks of the UK.
68. What do
the underlined words “on the brink of” in the first paragraph mean most
probably?
A. on the side of B.
on the point of
C. in search of D.
in favour of
69.
What is the doctors’ general attitude to cloning of humans according to the
passage?
A. They are against
it.
B. They support it.
C. They welcome it. D. They pay no attention to
it.
70.
What does the underlined word “ban” in the third paragraph mean most probably?
A. order that forbids
cloning
B. suggestion to carrying on cloning
C.
anger at cloning D.
cheer for cloning
71.
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Dcotor Severino Antinori is strongly opposed to cloning human
beings.
B. Up to now, seven kinds of animals have been cloned, including
sheep, cats humans and rabbits.
C.
Professor Rudolf Jaenisch is carrying on an experiment on cloning an
eight-week-old
embryo.
D. Ronald Green doubts
about the future successful birth of the so-called cloned embryo.
72.
Which is the best title for the passage?
A. The Success of
Cloning Humans. B.
The Anger at Cloning Humans.
C. Failure of Cloning
Humans. D.
First Cloned Human.
What is intelligence, anyway? When I was in the army I received an
I.Q. (intelligence) test that all soldiers took, and I scored 160 against an
average of 100.
All my life I’ve been making scores like that, so that I have the
feeling that I’m highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so,
too. Yet, such scores mean actually that I am very good at answering the type
of academic questions devised by the people who make up the I.Q. tests—a professor like myself.
Once I had an auto-repair man. I always took it for granted that I
was far more intelligent than he was. I thought he could not have scored more
than 80 on such I. Q. tests. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I
hastened to him, and he always fixed my car. Well, then, suppose my auto-repair
man devised questions for an I. Q. test. Or suppose a carpenter did, or a
farmer, or almost anyone but an academician. By every one of those tests, I’d
prove myself an idiot. In a world where I could not use my academic training
and my verbal talents but had to do something working with my hands, I would do
poorly.
My auto-repair man had a habit of telling me jokes. One time he
asked me, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb guy went into a hardware store to ask for some
nails. He put two fingers together on the counter and made hammering motions
with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He shook his head and
pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk brought him nails. He
picked out the sizes he wanted, and left. Well, doc, the next guy who came in
was a blind man. He wanted scissors. How do you suppose he asked for them?”
Naturally, I lifted my right hand and made scissoring motions with
my first two fingers.
Whereupon my auto-repair man laughed loudly and said, “Why, you dumb
fool, he used his voice and asked for them.” Then he said, “I’ve been trying
that on all my customers today.” “Did you catch many?” I asked. “Quite a few,” he
said, “but I knew for sure I’d catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked.
“Because you’re so goddamned educated, doc, I knew you couldn’t be
very smart.”And I have an
uneasy feeling he had something there.
73. The
speaker scored 160 on an I. Q. test simply because he was________.
A. considered highly intelligent B.
much smarter than others
C. trained for answering such questions D. educated to be a medical doctor
74. After
joking with the speaker, the auto-repair man remarked that________.
A. he was unwilling to tease his customers
B. education always makes one smarter
C. he was very ashamed of playing a practical joke
D. a highly educated person might lose common sense
75. Which of
the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. One can be fooled once but not all the time.
B. Success is 1% intelligence and 99% diligence.
C. Intelligence cannot always be measured by an I. Q. test.
D. An I. Q. test should include questions on auto repair.

One possible
version:
I was in the
kitchen for only a few minutes around 10:00 am. But I think someone was there
between then and 11:00. The kitchen has one window. Along the north wall is a
sink with a stove on the left hand and a refrigerator on the right. At about
10:00, the refrigerator was closed but now it is open. Also, now there are only
two pans hanging on the wall, but at 10:00 there were three hanging there.
Another change is that now the stove is on, but before it was off. Finally the
curtains are closed, but at 10:00 they were open.

things turned out differently.
W: But you seemed so
determined to do that. What happened?
M: Well, it’s very
complicated, and I’m sure you don’t want to know all the details. Anyway I
decided that opening my own business just wasn’t for me. So I decided to stay
at my old job instead.
W: So you are still working
in that shop.
M; Yes. Well, a lot sure has
happened since we last saw each other.
W: I’ll say! You know, we
should try to stay in touch.
M: Let’s have lunch together
sometime soon.
W: Good idea.
M: I’d like to put an ad in
the newspaper, please.
W: A classified ad?
M: Yes. I want to sell my
furniture. I’m moving.
W: I see. May I have your
name, please?
M: Bill Martin.
W: M-A-R-T-I-N. And your
address?
M: The Garden Apartment on
Books Road.
W: Well, the price depends on
the size, not on the words. So, if you want to use shorter words, that might
save you some money.
M: Oh, that’s a good idea. I
have everything written out here, but I’ll just check it over before I give it
to you. Maybe I should use phrases instead of sentences.
W: Would you like to pay cash
or by credit card?
M: I’ll probably be gone
before a bill could be sent. I’m going to pay cash.
W: Okay. You can use that
table. Just bring it back to me when you are ready.
W: Dong, I didn’t see you
around last week! Everything OK?
M: Thanks Sarah. I was down
with the flu.
W: Oh, sorry to hear it. How
are you doing now?
M: Much better, thanks. Still
a little weak and have a sore throat. But I’m finally up and about.
W: Glad to hear it. Well, you
didn’t miss much. Things have been pretty slow. We are reviewing Unit 10. You
can copy my notes, if you want to. If you need any help catching up, just let
me know.
M: Thanks, I appreciate it.
Take care of yourself. I’ve heard quite a few people have had the flu.
W: I wil1. In fact, my mother
was down with it a couple of weeks ago. I’ve already seem exposed, but so far I
seem to be OK. I’ll keep on taking Vitamin C and getting plenty of sleep. Nice
to see you back to school.
W: John, how many years have
you been studying at this college?
M: I started …er…well, one
year ago. Tell me again. What is it that you’re studying? Computing, isn’t it?
Basic Programming?
W: Yes. I worked as a computer
programmer after I graduated from high school.
M: So why are you doing Basic
Programming now?
W: No, no. Advance!
Programming.
M: Right. Well, here we are
at the Student Center.
W: Oh, it’s huge!
M: Yeah, well, it has to be.
There are 500 students on Campus and 50 staff.
W: Oh, look, there’s some
information about clubs.
M: I’m already a member of
the Table Tennis Club and the Cinema Club. Do you want to play table tennis? W:
I’m not much good, I’m afraid. What about the Film Club? How much is it to
join?
M: For second year students
it’s cheaper. Only 10 pounds, but for first year students, it’s 20 pounds, I
think. Do you want to become a member?
W: Why not?
M: Ok. Let’s go to the
student information office, over here…
Good morning, ladies
and gentlemen! Welcome to “Get away from it all Holiday Tour.” I’d like to tell
you now a few things about the holiday we have arranged for you.
(1) First, for those who
want to ski, you can rent skis on the spots and boots too. Surely it’s better
if you have your own boots.
(2) Don’t forget
that it can gel quite cold in the day, so warm clothes are quite important.
(3) This isn’t the season for
sunbathing, but the ski-slopes are often very sunny, so be careful not to get
burnt.
(4) We hope that
you will also enjoy our indoor snorts, there is, for example, an excellent
heated swimming pool.
(5)The hotel
booked for you is very comfortable, but the nights do get very cold sometimes,
so be prepared for that.
(6) For those looking for
other activities, there are lovely walks, good views and interesting birds up
the hill. And higher up there are good opportunities for climbers to enjoy the
mountains. But be prepared for wet weather occasionally in the valleys.
(7) Finally, I’d like to
mention that we offer excellent opportunities to try delicious and unusual
local food, many restaurants, night-clubs and discos.
