C Hobbs was an orphan(孤儿). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts. One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn’t know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do: painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for one and too little for the other.” “Here is the reading of your uncle’s will(遗嘱),” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.” “Yes, I see. I’ll do that,” said the young man. 49.Hobbs wanted to borrow money to _______. A. study abroad B. work abroad C. pay off the debts D. learn to paint pictures 50.What does the underlined word “dumbfounded” (in Paragraph 2) probably mean? A. surprised. B. frightened. C. satisfied. D. excited. 51.With the money he got, at first Hobbs _______. A. planned to have a happy life for a few days B. decided to give up his work in the factory C. was to give a dinner to his friends D. had no idea what to do 52.Hobbs was asked to _______. A. tell the lawyer what he did with the money after spending it B. tell the lawyer what was to be done with the money C. buy some pictures D. read his uncle’s will |

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分) 阅读下列短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (请将答案写在答题纸的指定区域内) In many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. 71 But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by ear manufacturers. The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. 72 That will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, 73 . Instead,we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing. According to Dr.David Davis,who leads the research team,these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture,which had blocked up our cities,polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together. Davis says,cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices(装置) to regulate(调节) the distance between one car and another. 74 Computers are much safer drivers than people,so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people. By 2010,Dr.David Davis believes,car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road,whatever the weather conditions,by projecting an image(影像)of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen. 75 Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.” says Davis. “ But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount,and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”A.The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized. | B.They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years. | C.And it will not be owned by one individual. | D.And by 2030, cars will travel in line, linked to each other electronically. | E.So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. F.Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns. G.The car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. |
(C) After my husband died suddenly from a heart attack,my world crashed around me.My six children were all under 10,and I was burdened with the responsibilities of earning a living,and caring for the children.I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week,but from Friday nights to Monday mornings,the children and t were alone. One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big pretty German shepherd off our doorstep.This dog seemed to intend to enter the house.The children liked “German” immediately and begged me to let him in.I agreed to let him sleep in the basement.That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks. The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic.Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by,we drove off without him.When we stopped to get gas, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us.No way was he going to be left behind. Monday morning I let him out for a run.He didn’t come back and we were all disappointed. We were convinced that we would never see him again.We were wrong.The next Friday evening, German was back on other doorstep.Again he stayed until Monday morning,when our housekeeper arrived. This pattern repeated itself every.weekend for almost 10 months.We grew more and more fond of German.We took comfort in his strong,warm presence,and we felt safe with him near us. As German became part of the family,he considered it his duty to check every bedroom to be sure each child was cozy in bed. Each week,between German’s visits,I grew a little stronger,a little braver and mole able to cope;every weekend we were no long alone and enjoyed his company.Then one Monday morning we patted him on his head and let him out for what turned out to be the Iast time.We never saw German again. 64.The dog first came when .

(D) Inventor,physicist,surveyor,astronomer,biologist,artist…Robert Hooke was all these and more.Some say he Was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th century.In the course of his work,he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton,and the great architect, Chrish@ler Wren. Hoocke"s early education began at home,under the guidance of his father.He entered Westnfinster School at the age of 13,and from there went to Oxford,where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England.Hooke impressed them with his skills at designing experiments and inventing instruments.In 1662,at the age of 28, he was named Curator of Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London—meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating new experiments at the society’s weekly meetings.Hooke accepted the job,even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him! Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favorite pastimes.He invented a compound microscope for this purpose.One day while observing a cork(软木塞)under a microscope,he saw honeycomb-like structures.They were cells—the smallest units of life.In fact,it was Hooke who invented the term“cell” as the boxlike ceils of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery(修道院). Another achievement Of Hook’s was his book Micrographi which introduced the.Enormous potential of the microscope.It contains fascinating drawings of the things he saw under the microscope.The book also includes,among other things,ideas on gravity,light and combustion(燃烧)that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theories on these phenomena. Hooke made valuable contributions to astronomy too.A crater(坑)on the moon is named after him in appreciation of his services to this branch of science. 68.Why possibly did Hooke accept the job as Curator of Experiments? A. Because his parents couldn’t afford his education. B.Because his family needed his support. C.Because he wanted to please the famous scientists in England. D.Because he liked designing experiments. 69.The cell got its name because of . A.its use B.its shape C.Hooke’s favorites D.Hooke’s experiences 70.The last paragraph is to prove that . A.Hooke was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th century B.Hooke was good at making discoveries C.Hooke’s contributions were not limited to one field D.Hooke was one of the greatest astronomers 71.The best title for the text may be . A.The Greatest Scientist B.A Helper of Newtom C.A Brief Introduction to Hooke D.Achievements of Hook |
