说明:11. If you have ever had an

operation, you were first put to sleep

with a gas you breathed or by a

chemical injected into your body.

Medical workers in the United States

of America and Europe have used

these methods in operations since

1842. They have been valuable in

preventing great pain which would

have occurred if the patient had not

been put to sleep.

The Chinese, however, have been able

to perform operations for about 4,000

years without putting the patient to

sleep. They use a method called

acupuncture. This involves sticking

flexible needles into certain parts of

the body.

The person who performs the

acupuncture must know how to insert

the needles so the needles themselves

are not painful. This person also

knows where to place the needles so

the patient feels no pain in the area

where the operation is to be performed.

The needles are not necessarily

inserted near the region where the

pain is to be prevented.

Today, the Chinese are learning to be

more efficient and skilled in their use

of acupuncture: but more research

should be done before the Chinese can

explain more convincingly how it

works.

A surgical patient is given a choice

between having acupuncture or having

one of the chemicals used for putting

him to sleep. It has been estimated

that over half of the patients chose

acupuncture because there is no

sickness after the operation, whereas

the chemicals may make the patient

sick for a few hours or a day.

If the person has chosen acupuncture,

the needles are inserted in the proper

places. After several minutes, the

patient is examined to see if he or she

can feel pain in the region where the

operation will be performed. If no

pain is felt, the operation is performed.

The patient is fully awake and can feel

the surgeon working.

Some doctors in the United States

have been skeptical about acupuncture.

However, it is already being used to a

very limited extent in this country. It

will be interesting to see if the method

becomes adopted here.(10分)

11.1). From the passage we know

acupuncture used in operation

means___________ .(2分)

(A) pushing flexible needles into the

body to inject certain medicine

(B) inserting needles into the head to

make the surgical patient fall asleep

(C) inserting needles in proper places

to prevent great pain while the

operation is being performed

(D) using different ways to make the

patient feel no pain during the surgical

operation

参考答案：C

11.2). If an operation is to be

performed with acupuncture to kill the

pain the needles should be

inserted___________(2分)

(A) near the surgical area

(B) in the very place of the operation

(C) in the areas where the patient feels

no pain

(D) in some special places on the

body

参考答案：D

11.3). According to the writer, which

of the following statements is

TRUE?(2分)

(A) The Chinese are still not able to

give an adequate theory of

acupuncture.

(B) Medical workers in the U.S.A.

began to use acupuncture during the

1840’s.

(C) We have to put the patient to sleep

before we use acupuncture in an

operation.

(D) As soon as the acupuncture

needles are inserted, the operation can

start.

12. Shoe manufacture today is based upon a remarkable invention developed by a young black genius in 1883.

Matzeliger was born in Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana, on September 15, 1852. His father was a Dutch engineer who had been sent to the colony to take charge of the government machine shops. When young Matzeliger was ten years old, he joined his father at the machine shops as an apprentice. At the age of nineteen he became a sailor on an East Indian merchant ship. In 1876 Matzeliger went to Boston, Massachusetts. After working there for a year, he moved to Lynn, where he remained for the rest of his life. Because of his knowledge of mechanics and shoemaking, Matzeliger was able to get a job in a shoe factory, operating a sole-sewing machine. While working there, he noticed that there was no machine that could last shoes. He began his plans for inventing a shoe-lasting machine by closely watching hand-lasters at their work. In his experiments he used old pieces of wood and metal. He even made his own tools. Patiently he tested one idea after another.

For years he lived in poverty, saving his money for his project. Fortunately, he succeeded in getting financial help from two businessmen in exchange for a two-thirds interest in his invention. With this extra money, Matzeliger finally achieved what he was after: A lasting machine that could turn out a complete shoe. His machine indeed changed the shoe industry. It not only greatly increased production but cut the cost of shoes by

half. By 1889 the demand for the new

lasting machine became worldwide.

What was Matzeliger’s reward?

Because of his long and hard work

and the lack of proper food and

warmth during his years of poverty,

his health had suffered. In the summer

of 1886 he caught a cold which

developed into tuberculosis. For three

tears he was so sick that he had to

remain in bed. Finally, on August 24,

1889, he died at the age of

thirty-seven.(10分)

12.1). According to the passage, shoe

industry would not have developed if

it had not been for ___________.(2

分)

(A) the Dutch engineer in the colony

in the 1850s

(B) the shoemaking center in Lynn in

the 1870s

(C) the East Indian merchant ship in

1871

(D) the great invention made by

Matzeliger in 1883

参考答案：D

12.2). While he was working in the

shoe factory, Matzeliger noticed that

shoe production was restricted by the

lack of___________.(2分)

(A) shoe factories

(B) lasting machines

(C) financial support

(D) skilled hand-lasters

参考答案：B

12.3). What Matzeliger wanted to

build was___________(2分)

(A) a large shop selling shoes

(B) the largest shoe manufacturing

company

(C) a machine that could make the

sole of a shoe

(D) a machine that could produce a

complete shoe

参考答案：D

12.4). Matzeliger’s machine not only

increased the shoe production but it

also cut the cost of

shoes___________ .(2分)

(A) by 15%

(B) by 20%

(C) 25%

(D) by 50%

参考答案：D

12.5). Before he developed his

invention, Matzeliger had been

参考答案：C

13. A higher reading rate, with no loss

of comprehension, will help you in

other subjects as well as English.

Naturally, you will not read every

book at the same speed. You would

expect to read a newspaper, for

example, much more rapidly than a

physics or economics textbook----but

you can raise your average reading

speed over the whole range of

materials you wish to cover so that the

percentage gain will be the same

whatever kind of reading you are

concerned with.

Perhaps you would like to know what

reading speeds are common among

native English-speaking university

students and how those speeds can be

improved. Tests in Minnesota, U.S.A.

have shown that students without

special training can read English of

average difficulty at speeds of

between 240 and 250 w.p.m. with

about 70% comprehension. Minnesota

claims that after 12 half-hour lessons,

one a week, the reading speed can be

increased, with no loss of

comprehension, to around 500 w.p.m.

with 70% or more comprehension,

you will be doing quite well, though

of course any further improvement of

speed-with-comprehension will be a

good thing.

When you practice reading with short

passages, do not try to take in each

word separately, one after the other. It

is much more difficult to grasp the

broad theme of the passage this way,

and you will also get stuck on

individual words which may not be

absolutely essential to a general

understanding of the passage. It is a

good idea to skim through the passage

very quickly first (say 500 words in a

minute or so) to get the general idea of

each paragraph. Titles, paragraph

headings and emphasized words

(underlined or in italics) can be a great

help in getting the outline of the

passage. It is surprising how many

people do not read titles, introductions

or paragraph headings.(10分)

13.1). Which of the following is

TRUE according to paragraph 1?(2

分)

(A) You would read any book at the

same speed.

(B) You would read physics books more rapidly than economics books.

(C) Yu can raise your average reading speed by the same percentage whatever kind of material you read. (D) You can raise your reading speed with some kinds of materials but you can’t with others.

参考答案：C

13.2). You will be doing quite well if you can read books of average difficulty ___________ .(2分)

(A) at about 500 w.p.m. with no loss of comprehension

(B) at about 245 w.p.m. with no loss of comprehension

(C) at about 450 w.p.m. with no loss of comprehension

(D) at about 300 w.p.m. with no loss of comprehension

参考答案：C

13.3). When you practice reading with short passages ___________ .(2分) (A) you should carefully read one word after another so as to have a thorough understanding of the passage.

(B) it is a good idea to read very quickly first to get the general idea of each paragraph

(C) you had better read the passage slowly to get the theme

(D) you should look up every unknown word in the dictionary to check its meaning

参考答案：B

13.4). According to the writer, which of the following statement is TRUE?(2分)

(A) Readers usually pay great attention to titles and paragraph headings.]

(B) Many people overlook titles and paragraph headings while reading. (C) Titles and paragraph headings are not so important as emphasized words.

(D) Titles and paragraph headings have nothing to do with the general idea of the passage.

参考答案：B

13.5). The average untrained native English-speaking student at the University of Minnesota can read English of average difficulty___________.(2分)

(A) at about 245 w.p.m

(B) at about 400 w.p.m

(C) at about 500 w.p.m.

(D) at about 600 w.p.m. 参考答案：A

14. Thousands of years ago, ten of our

very distant ancestors were hungry.

They went out and picked berries or

dug up roots to eat. Four of them

chose poisonous food and died. The

remaining six noticed that their food

was safe to eat. They told their

children, who, in turn, passed the

message on to their descendants. In

this way, habit became a vital factor in

the survival of mankind: if you ate the

right plant, you lived; if you wanted to

make your own experiments, you

would probably die.

The importance of habit in the

survival of the human species is an

interesting matter. Even today, most of

us hesitate when we are invited to eat

a new type of food or drink something

we have not tasted before. Even if the

food or drink is offered by a friend,

we are usually not at all anxious to

experiment and accept the offer.

When you get up tomorrow morning,

notice which shoe or sock you put on

first. Then notice which one you put

on other days. You may discover that

(a) you tend to put on one shoe or

sock first every day, and that (b) if you

are right-handed, you usually deal

with your left shoe or sock first. If you

try to change this habit, you may find

it uncomfortable or annoying, and you

will soon return to your old habit.

When it comes to other matters, we

often follow a fixed pattern. We sleep

in one or two favorite ways. We often

follow familiar routes even when they

are not the shortest or best. We often

wear a watch on the same wrist even

when there is no real reason for doing

so. In hundreds of other ways, we

show that we are creatures of habit,

following fixed patterns of behavior.

This characteristic can help us to

survive but it can be a barrier to

progress too. We must be alert and not

let a beneficial factor become a

harmful one.(10分)

14.1). The best title for this passage

might be___________(2分)

(A) Habit----a Barrier to Progress

(B) The Survival of Mankind

(C) Various Patterns of Human

Behavior

(D) We Are Creatures of Habit

参考答案：D

14.2). The first paragraph of this

passage is mainly about

___________the danger of making

experiments (2分)

(A) the importance of habit in the

survival of mankind

(B) the food our distant ancestors ate

(C) the behavior of younger

generations

参考答案：B

14.3). Which of the following

statements is TRUE according to

paragraph 2?(2分)

(A) Habit can be harmful to the

development of mankind.

(B) People usually like to taste new

things at the risk of their life.

(C) Most people hesitate to eat new

things they have never tasted before.

(D) People are usually willing to try a

new food if it is offered by a friend.

参考答案：C

14.4). The example shown in

paragraph 3 proves

that___________.(2分)

(A) it is difficult to change a habit

(B) habit can be changed easily

(C) shoes and socks are essential in

our daily life

(D) everyone puts on shoes and socks

in the morning whether he is

right-handed or left-handed

参考答案：A

14.5). From the last paragraph we

know that in the writer’s

opinion___________.(2分)

(A) habit can never become a harmful

factor

(B) people develop all their habits

with good reasons

(C) habit will always help people to

make progress

(D) everyone follows fixed patterns of

behavior

参考答案：D完型填空

说明:15. In some countries where

racial prejudice is acute, violence has

been taken for granted as a means of

solving differences; and this is not

even questioned. There are countries

the white man imposes his rule by

brute force; there are countries where

the black man protests by fire to

cities and by looting and pillaging.

Important people on both sides, who

would in other respects appear to be

men, get up and calmly argue

violence- --as if it were a legitimate

solution, like any other. What is really

frightening, what really fills you

despair, is the realization that when it

comes to the crunch, we have made no

actual progress . We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed and the suffering nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder hit us.

The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own because they advocate such apparently outrageous things law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were , if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution.(15分)
