Passage 1My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that’s young and growing-your brain. Keep your mind awake and you’ll stay young all over. These are exciting times. T ake an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the motion that you are too old to go to back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do itif you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; that’s the only youth elixir guaranteed to work .31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is _______A. an impossibilityB. a scientific factC a suppositionD a ridiculous conclusion32. It is wrong to _______A think oneself too old to go back to schoolB keep one’s mind awakeC try to stay young D. get one’s degree with honors33. The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became_______A. an active lawyerB. an electric engineerC. a distinguished doctorD. a highly paid ceramic artist34. The only youth elixir is to ______A go back to schoolB forget one’s own ageC keep in touch with young people D. keep one’s mind awake and active35. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that _____A. human brain never gets old with ageB. every person should take up a new occupation when he becomes oldC. staying young is not difficult if one is willing to tryD. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what’s going on around youPassage2If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago. We should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day. We should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes , of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history.” Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact orso valuable to us as written history is. Because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.36. Which of the following ideas is not conveyed in the passage?A. “Remembered story”, compared with written history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past plays a most important role in our learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to answer some questionsD. Where there are no written records, there is no history.37. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _______A. there wad nothing worth being written down at that time.B. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record.C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there had not known how to write38. “remembered history” refers to ______A. history based on a person’s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC songs and dances about the most important events.D. both B and C39. “remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ______A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be true.D. people are interested in it40. It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if our ancestors had ____A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPassage3For years, international swimming has been controlled by a small number of powerful nations. The U.S, Russia, Germany and Australia have produced some of the sport’s finest players and have won most of the top competitions and medals. But the results of this month’s world championships, which are being held in the Australian city of Perth, will not be so easy to predict. Since the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, many new names and nationalities have emerged to take on the worldleaders.The 1996 Olympics should have been an opportunity for the U.S to display its great swimming power, but instead it faced some embarrassing defeats. The surprises started on the first day of the competitions, when Fred of Belgium set a world record in the competition for 100-metres breast-stroke(蛙泳). Never before had Belgium produced an Olympic champion swimmer. Two other countries also won swimming gold medals for the first time on the opening day. Ireland’s Michelle Smith delighted her country with the first of her three gold medals. New Zealand also celebrated with Danyon Loader’s gold in the men’s 200-metres free style. Loader went on to win the 400 meters later in the competition.But late on the second day, the U.S team’s officials and coaches were starting to be surprised. Penny Heyns of South Africa had broken the women’s 100-metre breast-stroke record in the morning competitions before claiming gold in the final.41. It is hard to predict the results of this month’s championships because ________A. players from different countries have emerged as new championsB. many names of the players haven’t been heardC. a few countries have won international swimming competitionsD. the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta was a success42.What the U.S had to face at the 1996 Olympics was ______A. new swimming powerB. a big successC. several unpleasant failuresD. a great deal of embarrassment43. The player of Belgium broke a world record in 100-metre breast-stroke which ______A. it had won beforeB. it had not gained beforeC. it had won many timesD. the U.S. had never won before44. How many medals have the other countries won on the opening day?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Six45. It can be inferred from the passage that ______A. the U.S. is still the only powerful country in swimmingB. the U.S. has been a great swimming powerC. Ireland once controlled international swimming.D. Belgium had won several world swimming championshipsPassage4When the steam engine was invented in the eighteenth century, it began one of the greatest revolutions that have ever happened in our world. The invention of the petrol engine at the end of the nineteenth century led to another enormouschange in our lives. And the computer is almost certainly going to be an invention no less important than these engines were.Just as there was a Stone Age. An Iron Age and so on, we have been living for centuries in a Paper Age, during which almost all information was kept and sent on paper, and so much of it is wasted after it has been used once that enormous numbers of trees have to be cut down every year to provide us with this paper. But now, with the computer, enormous amounts of information can be stored and sent without any paper at all, using small discs or the Internet.Computers have made it possible to do very difficult calculations very much faster than any earlier machine could. Computers also allow one to send information to others anywhere in the world, via the telephone line, and to receive information from them. One can send a very long message more quickly from England to Australia, for example, than from one’s house to someone in the garden. Computers are not only used for writing; they can produce diagrams and pictures, and they can be used for playing games. One now sees them at airports and railway stations, in hotels and restaurants, in fact, almost everywhere where people gather.46. The author seems to say that the invention of the computer is ___A. not so important as that of the steam and petrol enginesB. at least as important as that of the steam and petrol enginesC. less important than that of the steam and petrol enginesD. far more important than that of the steam and petrol engines47. According to the author the disadvantage of using paper to keep and send information is tha_______A. it is hard to get enough paperB. it wastes our timeC. it damages the environmentD. there is too much paper around48. We may infer that the fastest way for computer to send messages is by using _____A. paperB. discsC. the telephone lineD. air mail49. Which of the following functions of the computer is not mentioned in the passage?A. Handling informationB. Doing office and business workC. Offering entertainmentD. Making phone calls50. The title that best express the main idea of the passage is _____A. Computer AgeB. Paper Age and Computer AgeC. Computer and Our PastD. Computer and Our Future四、完型填空(10%)请将答题卡上相应的字母涂黑，做在本试题册上无效。
