Passage 1

Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its owner didn't know what to do. The food in his restaurant was cheap and good, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.

Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant was always full of men and their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a beautiful menu. The menus looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter handed to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine; while the menu that he handed to the lady gave a much higher price! So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous than he really was!

Passage 2

Mr. White lived in a small village. His parents hadn't enough money to send him to school. He had to help them to do something in the fields. But he didn't like to live in the poor place. When he was sixteen, he got to the town and found work in a factory. Three years later he became tall and strong. So he was sent to Africa as a soldier. He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him. And he hoped they thought he was a famous man and that they could respect him. The children often asked him to tell them some stories and his life in Africa.

One day a few children asked him to tell them something about the animals in Africa. He told them how he fought with the tigers and elephants. His stories surprised them all and some policemen and workers went to listen to him. It made him happier. Just a man who taught geography in a middle school passed there. He stopped to listen to him for a while and then said, "Could you please tell us a rare animal, sir?"

"Certainly," said Mr. Turner. "One day I met a rhinoceros（犀牛）by a river…"

Passage 3

We are busy talking about and using the Internet，but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time，computers were large and expensive. Computer network didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down，then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working，information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working on the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government，but in the early 1970s，universities，hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However，computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s，computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made "surfing"in the Internet more convenient.

Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.

The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.

Passage 4

In 1920, barely out of his teens, Alfred Hitchcock went to work for an American film company which

had opened a studio in Islington, London. His first job at the studio was writing captions （脚本）for silent movies. Within two years, he was writing scripts（剧本）and working as an assistant director.

For the rest of the 1920s, Hitchcock worked on one film after another in Britain and Germany.

Filming was often a rough-and-ready（匆忙做成的）affair and the assistant director was required to step in and plug gaps. A cameraman went missing, Hitchcock became a cameraman. A scene needed rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it. Someone needed to be in charge of money when the film crew was on location, Hitchcock looked after the money.

At the same time, this being the era of silent movies, Hitchcock was learning the language of cinema: telling a story－not through dialogue, but through visual images（视觉影象）. This led to his success later.

When he began to direct his own films, first in Britain and later in Hollywood, he was determined to make films that held the audience's attention and kept tension

（紧张感）. He succeeded. Hitchcock's ability

to put you on the edge of your seat makes him one of the greatest makers of suspense（悬念）movies.

17. According to the context, "step in and plug gaps" (in Line 3, Para. 2) means asking for one's help.

Passage 5

The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage (孤儿院) knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage，she learned something else－to be independent. At twenty-one，she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then，in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary,

something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name，Mary Cheung，was known to everybody.

Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager，she had trouble with her reports. "My English just wasn't good enough." she says. Luckily，she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.

Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987，she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places－China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.

The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.

21. Before Mary Cheung was brought to the orphanage，she had lived in the streets for many years.

Passage 6 If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousands of

kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of

plants and animals.

However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or

30 years. What will happen if they disappear?

If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the

new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the

weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in

the world. That is why we must take care of our forests.

26. The passage mainly tells us about the importance of taking care of plants. A.T B. F 答案：A

27. Forests are homes for different kinds of animals. A.T B. F答案：

A Passage 7 What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant

Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of

where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.

We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a

leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.

Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if

parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing

silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as

"That was a very clever thing you did." or "You are such a smart child."

31. The word "intelligent" in the 1st paragraph probably mean bright. A.T B. F答案：

A

32. According to the context we can guess that a genius is a normal person while an idiot is a funny person.

A.T

B. F答案：

B

33. A person born with a good brain and putting it into active use is more likely to become a genius. A.T

B. F答案：

A

34. It is better for parents to praise and encourage their children more often. A.T B. F答案：

A

35. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live. A.T B. F答案：

B Passage 8 A man got into a train and found himself sitting opposite a woman who seemed to be about thirty-five

years old. Soon they began talking to each other, and the man said to her, "Do you have a family?"

"Yes, I have one son," the woman answered.

"Oh, really?" said the man. "Does he smoke?"

"No, he's never touched a cigarette," the woman replied.

"That's good," the man continued. "I don't smoke either. Tobacco is very bad to one's health. And does
