His father wanted him to follow in his 50 and refused to help Young go to college.So, with $ 10 in his pocket, Young set off for Tennessee State University, 51 to register. "I walked up to the bursar's (财务主管) office and 52 my two $ 5 bills up there on the counter," Young says. "I plan to make something out of myself." Young told the school official. He saw this country boy and said, "But you can't go to school with $ 10." Young said, "But I 53 " Young was taken to see the school dean, who asked if he could drive a truck. Young had never driven before, but said yes 54 He got a job carrying trash. "I didn't know what I was doing, but 55 the grace of God, I did it. That took care of my tuition, but they didn't know I didn't have a place to stay.""One morning, the matron (女舍监) of the dormitory came up and saw me — between two mattresses in the dormitory, and it scared her. She 56 and cried when I told her my 57 . And afterwards, she gave me everything that I needed. "Young is 58 to say he was the first African American to be the director of food sanitation for the Detroit Health Department.Young remembers a female high school student who came to work at the department. "She was 59 . She came from a family of seven — some of them were on drugs — and she had 60 right to be mad. So I sit her down and I talk to her. ""I said, 'You see this big desk here — it wasn't designed for me. Do you see these 61 — way back in the South, in the sticks, I picked cotton. But you see 62 I am today.' And she became a different person." Young ended up 63 her. It's been over 19 years ago. She's an executive secretary today."That is the greatest thing I've 64 done in my life.

Coffee with caffeine does make some people restless, just when they want to go to sleep.So, before you rush to the doctor for "something to make you sleep", change over to H. A. G. — a new kind of caffeine-free coffee, the nicest coffee so far.This kind of coffee is made by modern scientific methods and has come to the perfection for the greatest pleasure that drinking good coffee gives, but without any harmful effects. H. A. G. is the coffee that continental people, who are such great coffee drinkers, have been taking in the evenings for over 50 years.Make your choice of H. A. G. Enjoy good coffee and good sleep.

Polly's son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified as the educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. His parents knew his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother sent this letter to the newspaper:Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time. If I had only known I would have said, "Jim, I love you and I'm very proud of you.I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people.When you put all the good qualities on the scale and try to balance all the irritatingphenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn' t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc. , your angry feelings won't amount to much.I won't get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died. He called me to say, "Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. Got to go to work. Bye." He gave me something to treasure forever.If there is any purpose at all for Jim's death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much we care.You may never have another chance.() 68. According to the passage, we know that____________ .A.Jim was always ashamed of himselfB.Jim did very well in his studiesC.Jim's parents were patient with himD.Jim failed to finish his high school() 69.

By writing the letter printed in the Palo Alto Times, the author intends toA.mourn her son's sudden death in a traffic accidentB.remind people to be cautious of motorcyclesC.tell parents to take better care of their childrenD.suggest people taking the chance to express their love in time( ) 71. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Love Your Family.B. Do It Today.C. Walk with Pride.D. Appreciate Smiles.(C)To build a safer car, Japanese automakers are trying to replace the most accident-prone(易出事故的) part: the driver. Inspired by statistics blaming human error for most accidents, Toyota and its competitors are designing "intelligent" cars that can almost drive themselves on the high way.The systems are designed to reduce human tiredness and the mistakes that often result. This kind of support is what drivers need most in a country with some of the most prowded roads in the world. That is why it should not be surprising that Japan is leading the race to make cars smarter.To provide a safer ride, Japanese automakers are turning to technologies like laser radar and machine vision to replace tired eyes and wondering minds. An infrared(红外线的) radar unit fixed on the bumper is part of a new cruise control method that Toyota introduced in August 1997. It's now an optional feature on its Celsior luxury sedan that costs 70000 yen(US $ 648).The "adaptive" system tracks the car ahead, and slows down or speed up the car automatically to keep a safer distance in highway traffic. The same technology has also been used by some cars made by Toyota's competitors. Subaru, a type of its Legacy wagon, made its first appearance last September with Active Driving Assist(ADA), which besides adjusting cruising speed, sounds an alarm if the car goes out of its lane or makes a turn too fast. In the latter case, it down shifts gear even before the driver starts to brake.An even smarter system is coming from Honda. Called Honda Intelligent Driver Support (HIDS), it "sees" the road through a tiny camera on the windshield and helps steer the car down the middle of lane. A computer picks out lines on the highway surface and touches the car's steering wheel in the right direction. Honda got approval in March to start testing HIDS on the highway and says it will arrive in showrooms in the near future.() 72. Why are Japanese automakers developing cars that can almost drive themselves on the highway?A.Because they want to win the car competition.B.Because many accidents resulted from the mistakes made by drivers.C.Because drivers are always tired when driving the car.D.Because people don't want to drive the cars themselves.() 73. What is the main purpose for the automakers to design the system of the new cars?A.To make them run faster so that they can sell them at higher prices.B.To make them keep to the lane without being controlled.C.To help drivers make fewer mistakes so that accidents can be avoided.D.To use some advanced devices like laser radar and machine vision.( ) 74. We can infer from the passage that____________ .A.accidents always occur in the crowded streetsB.traffic accidents are likely to happen when drivers are tired and carelessC.accidents happen because traffic rules are not obeyedD.many accidents occur because there are no advanced systems( ) 75. If you drive the car with HIDS, you will find .A.your car is always keeping the right directionB.your car is slowed down or sped up automaticallyC.your car is controlled by an infrared radarD.you are always keeping a safer distance on the highwayKeys(A)65.

There is one extra heading -which you do not need.A.Effects of a strokeB.The main cause of death and disability in the USC.Definition and description of a strokeD.Breakthroughs in treatmentE.Risk factors of a strokeF.Warning signs of a stroke76. _________________Every 45 seconds, someone in America has a stroke. Every 3.1 minutes, someone dies of one. Stroke killed an estimated 167,661 people in 2000 and is the nation's third leading cause of death, ranking behind diseases of the heart and all forms of cancer. Stroke is a leading serious, long-term disability in the United States77. ________________Stroke is a type of cardiovascular disease. It affects the arteries leading to and within the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood(and oxygen)it needs, so it starts to die.78. ________________The brain is an extremely complex organ that controls various body functions. If a stroke occurs and blood flow can' t reach the region that controls a particular body function, that part of the body won't work as it should. If the stroke occurs toward the back of the brain, for instance, it's likely that some disability involving vision will result. The effects of a stroke depend primarily on the location of the obstruction and the extent of brain tissue affected.79. ________________The American Stroke Association has identified several factors that increase the risk of stroke. The more risk factors a person has, the greater the chance that he or she will have a stroke. Some of these you can't control, such as increasing age, family health history, race, and prior stroke. But you can change or treat other risk factors to lower your risk. Factors resulting from lifestyle or environment can be modified with a healthcare provider's help. Some of these include: high blood pressure, current smoking, heart disease, and high red blood cell count.80.A stroke can happen to anyone at any moment. In fact about 600,000 people have strokes every year. For many years,there was no hope for those suffering a stroke. However, recent breakthroughs have led to new treatments. For the treatments to work, the person must get to a hospital immediatelyKeys76. B 77. C 78. A 79. E 80. DSection DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even reasonably good at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do to their mother tongue is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about undertaking it in the right way.Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill — one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to ignore the branch of stud> concerned with speaking the language in their practical teaching. So English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention.It is important that the teacher should possess the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some idea of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic theory. But it does not follow that you can teach pronunciation successfully as soon as you have read the necessary books. It depends on after that what use you make of your knowledge; and this is a matter of technique.(Note: Write NO MORE THAN 15 WORDS for each question or statement.)81.According to the writer, the teacher needs in order to teach pronunciation successfully.82.It can be inferred from the passage that many language teachers do not devote enough lesson time to .83.What will the author would most probably discuss about in the next paragraph? .84.Why don't many people speak foreign languages well? __________________________________________________ .Keys:81.necessary information and technique82.teaching pronunciation83.Techniques for teaching pronunciation84.Because they fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language (well) requires / needs special trainingPart III、Translation ( 20分)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the "words given in the brackets.1.他太骄傲不肯承认自己的错误。
