（一）Most great inventors in the capitalist society meet with much opposition to their inventions from the people who place their own interests before those of the people.Big monopolies try to buy inventions and turn them to their own profits.When they fail, they resort to other tricks.Inventors have to overcome thousands of difficulties put in their path before they can see their dreams realized.When George Stephenson was experimenting with the stream engine, there was much opposition from the Parliament, the newspaper, and landlords.They claimed that the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that hot coals from it would set fire to their houses.So it was a very difficult matter for George Stephenson to persuade the people that trains could go on smooth rails, could pull carriages and wagons full of people and goods, and that there was no great danger of accidents.However, he was able to do it, and the first train driven by Stephenson himself showed that the newly invented steam engine was a complete success.56.The word “those” in the first sentence refers to A.inventors B.inventions C.interests D.monopolies 57.Why do big monopolies buy inventions? A.They want to make a further research.B.They want to improve them.C.They want to make more money.D.They want to play tricks with inventors.58.Which of the following is not the very reason for the opposition to Stephenson's experiment? A.It would make terrible noise.B.It would give off heavy smoke.C.It would waste coal.D.It would set fire to houses.59.The word “dream” in the first paragraph refers to _____ A.inventors' interests in inventions B.inventors' plans for inventions C.the profits inventors would make D.the difficulties in their inventions.60.What is the main idea of this paragraph? A.Stephenson invented the stream engine.B.Big monopolies opposed to inventions.C.Inventors' difficulties in their invention.D.Oppositions to Stephenson the inventor.（二）

As a young girl, Elizabeth Barrett(Browning英国作家勃朗宁)ruptured a blood vessel on the lungs which did not heal.The physician consigned her to a milder climate for the winter

and she went Devonshire for restoration.Among the members of her family who accompanied her to those healing shores was her eldest brother.For a whole year they lived side by side in affectionate companionship, she all the while being greatly benefited by mild sea breezes of Torquay.One summer morning her brother went board a small sailboat with two friends for a trip of several hours around the coast.Just as the vessel came in sight of the window where Miss Barrett sat watching, the boat struck a sunken reef;and all who were in it went down and perished in the sea, before assistant could be rendered.None of the bodies were ever found although the whole village, full of sympathy, assembled in search.This was the tragedy which utterly prostrated for some years afterwards the health and soul of Elizabeth Barrett.Somehow she felt that she herself had in some measure been the cause of all this horror, and she suffered accordingly.Her whole being seemed shattered, and a year longer elapsed before, she was able to be more to London.This fatal event, which so saddened her youth gave also a still deeper devotional feeling to hue of sorrow so apparent in many of her earlier pieces.61.What sort of climate did Elizabeth's doctor prescribe? A.Temperate.B.Tropical.C.Humid.D.Arid.62.How many people were drowned when the boat sank? A.One B.Two C.Three D.The article doesn't indicate 63.How did the tragedy affect Elizabeth?

A.Her brother.B.Herself.C.No one.D.The villagers.65.The incident had _____ on her poetry.A.no influence B.very little influence C.a superficial influence D.a strong influence

（三）SYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999 , Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well , chatting about sport , life and “ anything else that came up.” Yet in Sydney next month , they will meet again by the pool , and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly（蝶泳）in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.Gould , now a 47-year-old mother of four , has announced she will be making a return to elite competition（顶级赛事）to swim the one event , having set a qualifying（合格的）time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last year's United States Masters championships.Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.Schipper , now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics , yesterday recalled（回忆）her time with Gould five years ago.“ I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train , ” Schipper explained.“ It seemed as if we had long been good friends.I don't know why.We just started talking and it went from there.” “ She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp.She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it's like to be on an Australian team.It was really interesting.” Next time , things will be more serious.“ I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals , so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould , ” said Schipper , who burst onto the scene at last year's national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly.66.What is the passage mainly about ?

（四）Giving Back Fair Way The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize.The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home.And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong with one of the score cards.A 9 had been recorded as a 7.They were not the state prize winner;Wobum High had won.“No one would have known,” said Wobum's instructor, Bob Doran.For Rota, it wasn't a difficult decision: “The prize wasn't ours to take.” Coin Stars “College students are lazy, but they also want to help,” says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork.So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms.Her “ Change for Change” effort has collected $40,000 for charities 慈善机构), which were decided upon by students.Never Forgotten A school in Massachusetts received a $ 9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth.But it took

officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school.Records showed the LeBermuth came from Belgium and studied in the school in the 1920s.When his family fell on hard times, he was offered free room and board.LeBermuth became a trader, owned shares of AT&T and lived off the earnings until he died, at age 89.71.What did Greg Rota probably do in the end?

（五）Television ,the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound,1.And the word “television” means “seeing far”.Television works in much the same way as radio.In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic(invisible light)waves which are sent through the air.Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago.By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models.Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become an industry.The influence of TV on the life of people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life.It can also add to their store of knowledge.Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects.Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations.At first television programs were broadcast in black-and-white.With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones.Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast “live” from all over the world.People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo.And live telecasts now come from outer space.In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic “moon walk” to viewers on the earth.Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.56.Television is said to be the modern wonder of electronics, because _______.A.it is an industry B.it broadcasts most of the programs in color C.it brings the world into people's own home in sight and sound D.it influences people's thoughts 57.Television became an industry in _______.A.1920 B.1969 C.the l920s D.the 1950s 58.The word “incalculable” means______.A.very great B.uncertain C.hard to tell D.very small 59.The development of science and technology made it possible for television programs to _______.A.be telecast again B.be kept for later use C.be put on video tape D.be telecast in full color 60.The launching of communications satellites made it possible for people to _______.A.get close up views of operations B.learn various subjects C.watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo D.watch local programs

（六）The seriously depressed person sees himself in a very negative way.He is sure that he is alone and hopeless.He often blames himself for ordinary faults and shortcomings which he exaggerates.He is very discouraged about himself, the world, and his future.He becomes less interested in what is going on around him and doesn't get satisfaction from things he used to enjoy.Fatigue and early morning sleeplessness are quite common.The depressed person may want to sleep more than usual.He may lose his appetite and lose weight, or eat more than normally and gain weight.Another particular sign, seen in women, is crying spells.Many of these spells are short and common.Depressives share the feeling that they have lost something very important to them, though often this is not really the case.From a feeling of loss, the depressed person progresses to false ideas that he is a loser and will always be a loser, that he must be worthless and perhaps not fit to live.He may even attempt suicide.So many very depressed people attempt suicide that depressive illness may be considered the only fatal mental illness.Not all those suffering from depressive illness do attempt suicide.But the relationship is striking.It is estimated that as many as 75 percent of those who attempt suicide are seriously depressed.Other studies show that the person hospitalized for depression is about 36 times more likely to commit suicide than is the non-depressed person.The greatest risk occurs during or immediately after hospitalization.After age 40, the possibility of suicide increases in very depressed person.Almost twice as many women as men suffer from depressive illness.Almost twice as many women as men attempt suicide, but three times more men than women succeed.61.Depressives share the feeling that they______.A.have been unloved B.have grown old C.have lost something D.have got something 62.Depressive illness may be considered the only mental illness_____.A.which is fatal B.Which is puzzling C.Which is incurable D.Which is sad

（七）It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare.While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pocket for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger's figure.He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town.He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this.The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs;his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lad's father.In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung.Brown, curly hair, well-shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment.The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day.As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis of a New England colony.66.The story took place in ____.A.spring B.summer C.fall D.winter

It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble.That's more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville.As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway.The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me.He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.” But Hyde couldn't go after him.Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident.But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car.As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult.Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to h
