A The first English window was just a slit (裂缝) in the wall. It was cut long, so

that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called “the wind’

s eye”. The word “window” itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.

Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and Britain

were dark and smoky. Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to

let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires. As time went on, people wanted more

light and air in their homes. They made “the wind’s eyes” wider so as to admit

air and light. They stretched canvas(粗布) or tapestry（挂毯） across them to keep

out the bad weather. 51. The word “window” originally means _____. A. opening

to look round. C. Wind’s eye B. letting in light. 52.

The first English window was a _____. A. large hole in the roof B. hole

covered with canvas C. slit covered with paper D. slit in the wall 53. The

window got its name because it _____. A. kept out the light B. blew out

the smoke C. let in more wind than light in mostly light 54. In the ancient

castles of northern Europe, smoke went out through _____. A. the windows

B. the doors

C. a hole in the wall

D. a hole in the roof 55. As time

passed, people covered the windows with canvas so as to _____. the light the wind C. let out the smoke D. keep out the

bad weather B It is New Year’s Eve. As the hands of the clock move towards midnight,

the old year is slowly dying; in a few minutes the New Year will be born. It is a

time for looking back and looking forward. We look back over all that has happened

during the past year, to ourselves, to our city and to the world. We look forward

to the New Year that is just beginning and hope that it will bring health and happiness

to all mankind. In Scotland the last day of the year is the most important holiday

of the winter, much more important than Christmas. On New Year’s Eve friends and

neighbors go about from house to house drinking a toast to the New Year and wishing

each other luck. In England and Wales New Year’s Day is a holiday and most people

sit up till after midnight on New Year’s Eve “to see the New Year in” and many

go to parties and dances. Most of the big -- 5 --

London hotels hold a New Year’s Eve dance, and most families will go out to one of

these parties. The large room where the dance is held is beautiful. Around the edge

of the dance floor, there are little tables where people may sit when they are not

dancing. As the clock strikes midnight hundreds of coloured balloons come down from

the roof, and the dancers shout and make a great noise to welcome in the New Year.

Then all join hands to sing. The New Year has begun. 56. From the passage, we can

tell that New Year’s Eve is a time for _____. A. giving presents to one’s friends

twelve C There are a lot of dangerous and terrible pests in Northeastern India,

but the tree-bees are the most terrible. They are killers. Unlike most bees, which

will sting (蜇) you only if they are disturbed or bothered, tree-bees will attack

you in thousands or no obvious reason. And they will go after you for your life.

Walking along a dusty road one sunny morning, while I was on holiday there last year,

I found myself, without the least warning, the center of such an attack. The air above

me suddenly became thick with bees. Despite the heat, I went cold all over. Until then I had never heard of Indian tree-bees, but I had recently seen a film called “The Angry Swarm”, whose subject was killer-bees. I began to run to the village about half a mile away. But I was soon covered from head to foot with bees. They crawled in thousands all over me, stinging with terrible pain. I tore them away in handfuls, only to make room for others. Each time I opened my lips for breath, more bees entered my mouth, until my tongue was stung to twice its normal size and I could hardly breathe. When I reached the village, I ran towards a house that was being built. As soon as the men working there saw the bees that were accompanying me, they ran for safety at top speed. -- 6 --

Soon my eyes had completely closed. I fell into a heap of brick dust used for building.

I pushed myself down into this until my head and shoulders were covered. I immediately found myself in a worse situation, the dust choking (窒息) out what little life I had left. When I struggled up out of the brick dust, the angry bees made a new attack on me. Now I already used up all my patience and strength. I ran weakly about in circles. Then I went down, in a state of unconsciousness. I was saved by two clever Gurkhas who raced to a heap of dry grass and quickly surrounded me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away. They remained with me, I later learned, taking stings out of my body for the next three hours until a doctor was found and brought. 61. Which of the following is NOT true about the tree-bees in Northeastern India? A. They are most dangerous and terrible. B. They attack people in larger numbers.

C. They will not attack unless they are bothered.

D. They will sting people to death.

62. Why did the writer feel frightened when he saw the tree-bees? A. Because he was surrounded without warning. B. Because he thought of the film he had recently seen about killer-bees. C. Because he knew that Indian tree-bees were most dangerous. D. Because the temperature of the atmosphere suddenly went cold. 63. When the men building the house saw the bees going after the writer, they ______. A. ran over to save him B. ran away as fast as they could C. ran to the top of the building D. used dry grass to fight against the bees 64. What seems to be most useful in driving away the tree-bees? A. Clever Gurkhas. C. Dry grass. B. Brick dust. D. Smoke and fire.

D Neuschwanstein Castle (New Swan Stone Castle) is one of the most beautiful and famous castles in Germany. Originally ordered to be built by King Ludwig II, the fairy-tale castle is a typical example of neo-romantic（新浪漫主义）style. The famous German castle overlooks the charming Hohenschwangau valley and is located only a short distance from the popular tourist town, Fussen. This fairy-tale look of Neuschwanstein Castle even inspired Walt Disney to create the Magic Kingdom. Construction on the castle began in 1869, but given the exact tastes of the king, the progress went very slowly. As an example, it took 14 workers four and a half years just to complete the woodwork in Ludwig’s bedroom. The king named the castle after a character in one of Richard Wagner’s operas -- the Swan Knight. In none of the other castles in Germany will you find more examples of Ludwig’s fondness for Wagner’

s work. Wall-hangings showing scenes from Wagner’s operas can be found inside. -- 7 --

Construction on the castle was stopped when King Ludwig II was brought down because

of the intrigue（阴谋）within his own cabinet（内阁）. The King himself hardly cared about matters of the state. Under Bavarian law, a King could be removed from power

if he were found unfit to rule. The cabinet eventually did that. However, Ludwig’

s puzzling death -- reported that he killed himself at the time -- suggests that his men were not happy with only throwing him out of power. All this adds to the mysterious

air of Neuschwanstein, and makes it one of the most fascinating castles in Germany. Unfortunately, many of the rooms in the charming castle remained undecorated. Only

14 rooms were finished before Ludwig’s death. Inside, the throne（御座）room is the picture of magnificence, but there is no throne, only a raised platform at the end

of the room, as the King was removed from power before a throne room could be built.

65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Many workers spent more than four years to complete the throne room in the castle. B. King Ludwig

II gave Walt Disney inspiration of creating the Magic Kingdom. C. King Ludwig II was

a great fan of Richard Wagner, a great German musician. D. Neuschwanstein Castle is among the most charming castles because of its fairy-tale look. 66. According to the passage, King Ludwig II’s death was quite ______. A. strange B. natural C. sudden D. painful 67. The word “that” in the third paragraph of the passage refers

to ______. A. kicking King Ludwig II out of power. B. taking King Ludwig II’

s life. C. stopping the construction on the castle. D. considering the king

as unfit to rule. 68. We can learn from the passage that ______. A. Walt Disney also showed great interest in Rich Wagner B. castles built for the king’s family usually showed the exact taste of the king C. King Ludwig II was more interested in art than

in running the country D. King Ludwig II didn’t even plan to build a throne room

in the castle 69. The passage mainly tells us about ______. A. the dark side of King Ludwig II’s cabinet B. the historical background of Neuschwanstein Castle C. the unhappy life of King Ludwig II in Germany D. the cause of building Neuschwanstein Castle -- 8 --
