One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track t owards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back whenhe saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He s aved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She hadto jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s hor se. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie herto her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack ri ght to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, b ut she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” s he said.But she did say one thing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the far m that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16.

Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couplesˇ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence ¨Theirjudgements were no better than chance〃implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than withthe second23. The underlined word ¨imitate〃(in Para. 2) has a similar meaning to__________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw theconclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesThe three biggest lies in America are: ( 1 ) “ The check is in the mail ” ( 2) “ Of course I’ll respect you in the morning .”( 3 ) “ It was a computer error . ”Of these three little white, the worst of the lot by far is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today , if a bank statement cheats you out of ＄900 that way , you know what the clerk is sure to say: “ It was a computer error . ”Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cash register in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker , bagger and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “ It was acomputer error . ”It wasn’t, of course . That high-tech cash register is really nothing more than an electric eye. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—that ribbon of black and white lines on the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory . If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is , somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices . If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error is supposed to excuse everything”.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misunderstanding that huge, modern computers are “electric brains”with “artificial intelligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence,but none exists today. The smartest computer on earth right now is no more “intelligent ”than your average screwdriver (螺丝刀) . At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to so .26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on oneˇs own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing wereeither selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocerˇs shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value. His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicyclingdown the village street in their lunch hourto take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouthwith a friend who happened to be passing. Thericher customers telephone their shoppinglists and the goods are on their doorstepswithin an hour. They have only to hint at afancy for some commodity outside the usualstock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocerˇs shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocerˇs assistants feel about giving extra service?A. They donˇt think it a trouble.B. They donˇt think it worthwhile.C. They donˇt consider it a good deal.D. They donˇt consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shopis that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be deliveredto doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
