Falling down some steps, he 36 three priceless Qing dynasty vases, 37 fell to the ground and 38 into more than 400 pieces. He was sitting there 39 when the museum staff arrived. Everyone stood around in silence---only the man kept pointing to 40 , saying, “There it is! That’s what 41 me fall. ”Today 42 others has turned into big legal business. In one famous case, McDonald’s was43 to pay $ 2.7 million to a woman who 44 burned herself with hot coffee. Although the amount was later reduced to $ 480,000, this 45 terrified businesses so much that they began to create 46 for their product that even an idiot would understand.There are limits, though, 47 which even American courts are not prepared to go. Two overweight girls claimed that McDonald’s was 48 for their eating habits. Their lawyer said that McDonald’s food was “physically or psychologically addictive”. The poor girls had no chance---McDonald’s just reached out and 49 them in and forced them to eat hamburgers and drink Coke. This time, a United States federal court judge 50 the case out.We may shake our heads at the people who pass the blame, but under pressure, 51 of us are immune to acts of irrationality (没有理性). How many of us have not cursed (诅咒) a hammer that hit a finger? Or, more commonly these days, have we not shouted at a 52 computer?Maybe it is simply human 53 to find a whipping boy (替罪羔羊) when things 54 wrong. Before you go, though, consider the old 55 : “he who points the finger of blame at another, does well remember that three fingers point back at him.”36.

Even though this was against the rule on cutting classes in the student handbook, my student didn’t fuss. When the students who missed classes received telephones or warning notices from me, they knew I meant business. Most seemed to recognize that it did good to their own study. It was also a rule that all of them would have to follow throughout their working lives. In fact, a major part of making it in life is simply showing up.I told my classes about recent research that if students want to do well in school, they have to attend classes regularly. Like other students, I feel disappointed when I carefully prepare to a class but only a small number of students attend. I want my students to get the message that I care about their learning and expect them to care about my professional effort.After I took the no-cut rule, student performance in my classes improved greatly. Such a result is surely worth thinking over. Additional advantages of the policy are those that result from a full classroom. Students’morale is higher, as is mine. Discussions are livelier, homework is generally handed in on time, and very few students miss quizzes.I was a little busier than usual because of the policy, especially at first. I called or mailed noted to several students about their cuts, some more than once. I finally advised a few with poor attendance to drop my course.No doubt this kind of policy is easier in a small college. But it can work almost anyplace where a teacher cares enough to make it work. The important element is caring.56. Why did the writer telephone the students who were absent from classes?A. Because he wanted them to know that he cared about their learning.B. Because he wanted them to recognize that it was important to attend classes.C. Because he wanted them to know that he was serious.D. Because he wanted them to do business with them.57. According to the passage, we can infer __________.A. no one was absent after the writer announced the new policyB. the writer cared about his studentsC. it is only possible to adopt this kind of policy in a small collegeD. according to the student handbook, no absences would be allowed except for illness orpersonal emergency58. What does the underlined word “morale” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Principles concerning right and wrong.B. Performance.C. The amount of confidence and enthusiasm.D. Attendance.59. The writer mentioned a recent research in order to ________.A. advise his students to work hardB. make his students know the importance of attending classes regularlyC. show that he cared about the students’ learningD. tell them the development of technologyBWhen my interest shifted from space to the sea, I never expected it would cause such confusion among my friends, yet I can understand their feelings. As I have been writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years, a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea does seem peculiar. To explain, I’d like to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind. The first excuse I give is an economic one. Underwater exploration is so much cheaper than space flight. The first round-trip ticket to the moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. On the other hand, the diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My second argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things in common with space. In their different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile. If we wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have mechanical aids. The diving suit helped the design of the space suit. The feelings and emotions of a man beneath the sea will be much like those of a man beyond the atmosphere.60. How did the speaker’s friends respond to his change of interest?A. They wanted to follow his example.B. They fully supported his undertaking.C. They were puzzled by his decision.D. They were afraid he wasn’t fully prepared.61. What is one of the reasons for the speaker to switch his interest to underwater exploration?A. It is more exciting than space travel.B. It is much cheaper than space travel.C. It is much safer than space travel.D. It is less time-consuming than space travel.62. In what way does the speaker think diving is similar to space travel?A. They both attract scientists’ attention.B. They can both be quite challenging.C. They are both thought-provoking.D. They may both lead to surprising findings.63. What is the speaker’ s purpose in giving this talk?A. To show how simple the mechanical aids for diving can be.B. To provide an excuse for his changeable character.C. To explore the philosophical issues of space travel.D. To explain why he took up underwater exploration.CWhen you feel tired, how do you relax? Drink coffee, take a bath, do some exercise, or play some music and have a dance?For dance music fans and night-club lovers, the world-famous English DJ Sasha will bring them the world’s finest dance music. He is coming to Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai on November 18-20 as part of his world tour in support of his new CD.One of the main roles of music has always been to go with dancing. But, today’s dance music is very different from that of the past. The history of dance music goes back to the 16th century. In the Renaissance(文艺复兴) and Baroque periods in Europe, rich people were expected to be able to dance at social events. Each type of dance gave rise to its own form of music.During the 18th and 19th centuries, the most popular dances were the Waltz and the Polka. In this period, dances were often written for the concert hall. For example, symphonies(交响乐) would have a Waltz movement, and piano pieces were sometimes in Waltz or Polka.In the 1970s, dance music moved into new places called discos. The music was faster, had more bass(低音部) and started to become more electronic. Disco music began to develop in the US and around Europe. By the 1980s the music became much faster and even more electronic.In the 1990s clubs took over discos. DJs mixed other people’s music. Club dance rhythms became a major part of popular music. Club dance music has difference forms, including drum and bass, hip-hop, and R＆B. It makes use of technology and DJs play a bigger part in spreading the music.64. Which of the following is not related to the difference between today’s dance music andthat of the past?A. It has more forms.B. More technology is made use of.C. The music is faster.D. Today’s music is more interesting.65. From the third paragraph, we can see that _______.A. dancing cannot be separated from musicB. in the 16th century, people still did not have much social lifeC. people’s social needs have nothing to do with dance musicD. today’s dance music is almost the same as that of the past66. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The Waltz and the Polka were the earliest dances.B. Disco music began to develop in the US and around Africa in the 1970s.C. Dance music dates from the 18th century.D. DJs are making contributions to spreading dance music.67. According to the passage, a DJ’s job is mainly to ______.A. create music for the clubB. put different music forms togetherC. develop disco musicD. play music using technologyDWhat science fiction (story), once told of other worlds far away, is now a fact. Astronomers (experts at the science of the universe) prove another solar (of the sun) system like ours with some planets in the constellation(星座) Andromeda (仙女座) .Geoffrey Marcy is a professor of astronomy and physics at San Francisco State University and says, “W hat we have found now, for the first time ever, is indeed a fully-grown system of planets around the star Upsilon Andromeda. It appears to have three planets, one close in, one at a middle distance, and one farther out.” The star is slightly larger than ou r sun. The planets are huge, like our Jupiter(木星座)Marcy’s partner in this research, Debra Fischer, describes the solar system, “Here’s the inner planet that goes around every 46 days, the middle planet that goes around every 242 days, and then the outer p lanet that goes around every three and a half to four years.”Astronomically, it’s not far away, 44 light years. The sun of that solar system, Upsilon Andromeda, is so near and bright that it can be seen by using no equipment during summer and fall.For twelve years astronomers searched the skies in the belief that if our sun has planets around it, surely others do, too. Geoffrey Marcy says, “And then starting three and a half years ago, we began finding for the first time planets singly, one planet here ar ound one star.”“When I look up at the stars now at night, I can imagine easily that every one of them hasplanets around them,” says Debra Fischer.It was a tremble (shaking) in the star that led Marcy to the planets. “The star rocks around due to the gra vity of the planet much like a dog owner gets pulled around by a little dog.”Can they support life? We don’t know, because present technology is not advanced enough to determine what the planets are made of. “That”, Marcy says, “is astronomy’s next challe nge”.68. What’s the relation between Andromeda (A), Upsilon Andromeda system (U) and the mentionedplanets (P)?69. According to Debra Fischer, in the new solar system, ___________.A. the larger a planet is, the shorter it takes to go around the star.B. it takes all the planets around three and a half to four years to go around the starC. the planets move around the star at uneven speedsD. the farther a planet is from the star, the longer it takes to go around the star70. What led to Marcy’s discovery of the planets?A. The tremble of Upsilon Andromeda.B. That any planet has gravity.C. That he believes any star has its planets.D. that he found a dog owner was pulled by his dog.71. We can infer that the scientists are .A. to find means to communicate with the living beings on the planetsB. to find means to travel to the planetsC. soon to be able to answer the question of whether there is life on these planetsD. to find out whether the planets can support life.EFor over 50 years, the people of Britain have relied on welfare state to make sure that they have adequate health services. But now the National Health Service is sick. Government cutbacks are forcing hospitals to close, and waiting lists for treatment are getting longer and longer. Under such circumstances, it is no surprise that more people are turning to private butexpensiveA B C.healthcare.For some, however, there are alternatives. They are turning their back on modern pills, tablets and other traditional medicine. It seems paradoxical (自相矛盾), but in an age of microchips and high technology, traditional medicine is making a comeback. Consider these case studies:Maude is 76 and has been suffering from arthritis for almost ten years. “The inflammation (症状) in my joints was almost unbearable. I was told at London Hospital that I need surgery, but would need to wait for at least two years before I could have the operation. So, I started having massage sessions. To my surprise, these were very effective, and while they didn’t cure the disorder, they did relieve it to some degree.”Ron is 46. His high-powered city job was responsible for a series of stress illness, and the drugs he took did little to relieve the nervous strain. “I read about treatments which involve the while person rather than the individual symptoms, but I had always been doubtful about it. However, my friends recommended a doctor who advised me that part of my problem was diet-related. Basically, the foods were contributing to my disorder. She gave me a list of foods that would provide the right vitamins and minerals to keep me in good health. Now I feel great.”So is there still a place in our lives for modern medicine? While it is true that some infections and viruses my be prevented by using alternative medicine, more serious illnesses need more drastic (严厉的) measures. We do need our services at these times.72. What do we know about Maude?A. He has been suffering from a stress illness.B. His illness was cured at last.C. He had an operation after waiting for two years at London Hospital.D. Having massage sessions really relieve his pain.73. What made Ron feel better?A. Taking drugs.B. Receiving some treatments in hospital.C. Having massage sessions.D. Having a healthy diet.74. The following are the reasons why more British are turning to private but expensive ortraditional medicine Except ______.A. they have not enough money for treatmentB. the National Health Service goes wrongC. they have to wait for the treatment in hospital for a long timeD. the government cut back on spending on health75. We can conclude that ______.A. traditional medicine is the bestB. people still need modern measures while alternative medicine can prevent some infectionsand virusesC. there is no room for modern medicineD. modern treatment is not necessary any more第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共35分）第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）In recently years, studying abroad has flourished(兴盛).
