It is interesting to compare it with modem air travel today. Early that morning, a young Frenchman, Jean-Pierre Blanchard, and an American, Dr. John Jeffries, prepared themselves and their balloon for the trip. They wanted to cross the English Channel from Dover to the French side. The Channel is about forty kilometres across at this point. Nobody had ever travelled so far in a balloon before.A crowd had come to watch the start. Blanchard and Jeffries were rather afraid of the excited people. In those days, crowds often became so angry when they were disappointed by balloons. If something went wrong, and the balloon did not rise, into the sky, they might even tear it to pieces.That morning, however, the crowd cheered and clapped. The huge green and yellow balloon rose high into the cold winter sky. The wind began to blow it, and Blanchard and Jeffries, towards the French coast. At first, everything went well. But half way across, the balloon suddenly began to go down towards the water. Blanchard and Jeffries did everything they could to lighten the load. They threw all sorts of things offboard, But still the balloon continued to go towards the water. Soon the waves were almost touching the basket in which the two men were travelling. They even began to throw off their clothes in order to make the balloon lighter. Then, suddenly, the balloon began to rise again. Two hours later they reached the French coast but they were then half-naked and very cold! Blanchard brought the balloon to earth by grabbing the branch of a tree.. The trip had not been very comfortable but it gave a clear sign: man had a future in the air.31. The balloon trip Jeffries and Blanchard made is important because__________A. two men had never traveled in a balloon together beforeB. others had crossed from France to England but never from England to FranceC. nobody had ever travelled so far in a balloon beforeD. the two men proved that you could lighten the load by throwing things offboard32. Before they went up the two men were afraid that__________A. the crowd might tear the balloon to pieces if they were disappointedB. the balloon itself might be too heavyC. their clothes might not be warm enough for the tripD. the crowd might become frightened when they saw the balloon rise33. Blanchard and Jeffries were the first__________the Channel in a balloon.A. which crossedB. who crossedC. that crossedD. to cross34. To grab means to__________A. get hold ofB. cutC. burnD. push aside35. Which of the following statements is true?A. The two travellers were very happy and excited when they saw the crowd.B. The balloon nearly went down into the water half way during the trip.C. They threw away their food to lighten the load but kept their clothes on.D. The two men found the trip quite comfortable by the end of it.Passage 2The next day, Bob insisted that he should do the cooking for a change. He had always fancied himself as a cook and never failed to remind his wife, Susan, of the grand parties he had had before they married. How was it, Bob would ask, that in those days he had managed to feed as many as twenty people. Susan, however, had other ideas. She remembered Bob's parties well-- especially the kitchen which, when the party was over, looked as though it had been hit by a hurricane. But Bob was so insistent, that in the end Susan reluctantly agreed to let him have a free hand.Susan determined to make the most of the situation and went into the parlour to read. She had no sooner settled down, than Bob began calling her from the kitchen. Having expected this would happen, she smiled to herself and continued to read. Bob shouted louder than ever and seeing that there was no response, he finally came into the parlour himself, obviously in an agitated state. How could he possibly work with no equipment, he demanded. He could not find bowls, cups, dishes, or even a single spoon. What he had thought was flour turned out to be icing-sugar and there was not a pinch of salt in the whole house. Susan calmly told him where everything was and Bob rushed back only to find thatthe milk had boiled over. He mopped the mess up hastily and set to work. In no time, nearly everything that had been in the side-board and in the pantry was splendidly arrayed before him on the kitchen table. Now he could really begin, he thought.About two hours passed and Susan could not understand why things were so quiet. Bob must be managing after all! The smell of something burning quickly proved her wrong and caused her to drop her book and dash to the kitchen. Thick smoke greeted her when she opened the door. She could dimly make out the figure of Bob trying to extract something from the oven and burning himself in the process. Bob produced a blackened object, quickly dropped it into the sink and turned on the tap. His cake was a little over-done, he explained but otherwise all right. Apart from this, he had put sugar into the stew instead of salt, but he did not think it would do the stew any harm. When the smoke cleared, Susan saw, to her horror, that her once spotless kitchen now resembled a battlefield!36. Susan__________A. was glad Bob would do the cookingB. didn't trust Bob to do the cookingC. had a high opinion of Bob's cookingD. suggested Bob should do the cooking37. What does it mean to "let him have a free hand" (1. 7)?A. to find someone to help himB. to help him herselfC. to let him do as he likesD. to prepare everything for him38. Susan realized Bob had been unsuccessful when__________A. the milk boiled overB. Bob couldn't find utensils and ingredientsC. she smelt something burningD. she saw that her kitchen had become a battlefield39. When the smoke cleared, Susan found__________A. a group of soldiers in her kitchenB. everything was in its placeC. her kitchen was a messD. Bob had cooked a good dinner40. determined ( 1. 8 ) means__________A. agreedB. decidedC. insistedD. tried生活充满了色彩，但是蒙着一层雾需要你的拨开8、这个世界并不是掌握在那些嘲笑者的手中，而恰恰掌握在能够经受得住嘲笑与批忍不断往前走的人手中。

It was her father who laid down the rules in her family and th ere was never any appeal, any second chance. After protracted discussion and her repeated pleas she had been allowed this weekly visit to the disco run by the church youth club, provided she caught the nine-forty bus without fail. It’d put her down at the “Crown an d Anchor” at Cobb’s marsh, only fifty yards from her cottage. From ten fifteen her father would begin watching for the bus to pass the front room where he and her mother woul d sit half-watching the television, the curtains drawn back. Whatever the programme or w eather, he would then put on his coat and come out to walk the fifty yards to meet her, keeping her always in sight. Since the Norfolk Whistler had begun his killings, her father had an added justification for the mild domestic tyranny which she half-realized, he thou ght right in dealing with his only child and rather enjoyed. The concordat had been early established：“You do right by me, my girl, and I’ll do right by you.”She both loved him and slightly feared him and she dreaded his anger. Now there would be one of those aw ful rows in which she knew she couldn’t hope to look to her mother for support. It woul d be the end of her Friday evenings with Wayne and Shirl and the gang. Already they te ased and pitied her because she was treated like a child. Now it would be total humiliati on.Her final desperate thought was to hire a taxi and chase the bus, but she didn’t kn o w where the cab rank was and she hadn’t enough money; she was sure of that. She coul d go back to the disco and see if Wayne and Shirl and the gang between them could len d her enough. But Wayne was always skint (身无分文的)and Shirl too mean and by the t ime she had argued and cajoled(哄骗)it would be too late.1. What was the girl’s problem now?A. The bus was lateB. She was late for the nine-forty busC. She was afraid to encounter the Norfolk WhistlerD. Her father would not come out to meet her on her way home2. Why did the girl think "This was the end"?A. She had seen the Norfolk Whistle comingB. She would never be able to get homeC. Her parents would give her a hard timeD. She would never be allowed to visit the disco again3. How long would it take her to get to the "Crown and Anchor"by bus?A. 40 minutes or soB. About half an hourC. Over an hourD. Hard to tell4. Which of the following statements is probably true?A. Her father had been strict with her ever since the Norfolk Whistler began his killi ngsB. Her father had always been strict with her since her childhoodC. She dreaded her father because he was always angry with herD. Whatever happened her mother always sided by her5. "She was sure of that."This means that she was sure___A. she could catch up with the bus if she took a taxiB. she could not borrow any money from either Wayne or ShirlC. she did not have enough money on her to hire a taxiD. she would never be able to get home in time2. Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these que stion is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of s peci al education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other h and, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surrounding. Thus the limits of a person’s i ntelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. T he closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in in telligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likel y that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we ta ke two identical twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to university and the other to factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates th at environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who lives in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.1. Whi ch of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph 1?A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birthB. Intelligence is developed by the environmentC. Some people are born clever and others born stupidD. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment2. It is suggested in this passage that___.A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceB. close relation usually have similar intelligenceC. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceD. people who lived in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar d egrees of intelligence.3. Brothers and sisters are likely to___.A. have similar intelligenceB. have different intelligenceC. go to the same universityD. go to the same factory4. In Paragraph 1 (line 5), the word "surrounding"mean___.A. intelligenceB. lifeC. environmentsD. housing5. The best title for this article would be___.A. On IntelligenceB.

（本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分）Passage 1Nikolai arrived in the United States from Eastern Europe with his wife and two small children. Despite the fact that Nikolai spoke three languages （Russian, German, and Polish）， neither he nor his wife spoke any English. They came to the United States as refugees. Nikolai thought he was fortunate to have located a distant cousin, who sponsored him and his family and offered them temporary housing in the apartment building that he owned. Very soon Nikolai began picking up English words. He needed a job to support his family, but because of his poor English and lack of formal education, he worried about his job prospects in the United States.A neighbor in the apartment building told him that job advertisements were frequently posted on a nearby bulletin board （公告牌）。
Nikolai went to the bulletin board together with an acquaintance, who read and spoke both Russian and English, to see what jobs were available. Nikolai listened intently as the acquaintance read several job announcements to him. One particular job listed on the board caught his attention. A nearby military base was advertising for barbers. What made the announcement most attractive to Nikolai was the fact that the announcement included the words “license not required”。
Nikolai had never cut anyone’s hair, but he remembered watching sailors give each other haircuts. It seemed pretty easy since the haircuts all looked about the same - just cutting off all the hair. He spent the evening practicing short sentences that he had learned from his cousin that afternoon, including “Hello, it’s nice to meet you” and “Yes, I can!”The next day Nikolai took the first bus out to the base.After showing the ad to an MP at the front gate，he received a map of directions to the barber shop.After an exchange of greetings，the barber shop manager asked Nikolai，“Can you givesomeone a haircut?”“Yes，” Nikolai answered，“I can.Cut it all off!”Not only did Nikolai get the j ob，but within just two years，he had learned to do the job so well that he became the manager of the barber shop.He was the one who now did all of the hiring.His English language skills had improved immensely, and he was often invited over to the top officers’ homes for dinner.He also fell in love with country music，since many of the base personnel were from southern states，and this type of music was constantly played in the shop.21.When Nikolai first came to America he felt fortunate for the following reasons EXCEPT ______.A.he had a distant cousin to help himB.he found temporary housingC.he could support his familyD.he spoke three languages22.Nikolai went to the bulletin board in order to ______.A.look for job informationB.post notices on the boardC.read job announcementsD.list job opportunities23.Why did Nikolai decide to apply for the job at the barber shop?A.He had a barber’s license.B.He thought it easy to get the job.C.He had watched barbers cut sailors’ hair.D.He had given other people haircuts before.24.Nikolai came to love country music because ______.A.the music was popular in southern statesB.the music reminded him of his hometownC.he often heard the music in the barber shopD.he wanted to improve his English language skills25.Which of the following possible titles best expresses the main idea of this passage?A.“Can You Give Someone A Haircut?’’B.“License Not Required’’C.“Cut It All Off”D.“Yes，I Can!”Passage 2There are several places in the world that are famous for people who live a very long time.These places are usually in mountainous areas，far away from modern cities.Hunza is high in the Himalayan Mountains of Asia.There，many people over one hundred years of age are still in good physical health.Men of ninety are new fathers，and women of fifty still have babies. What are the reasons for their good health? Scientists believe that the people of Hunza have these three benefits：（1） physical work；（2）a healthful environment with clean air and water；（3）a simple diet.People in the Caucasus Mountains are also famous for their longevity.In this area，although birth records are not usually available，a woman called Tsurba probably lived until age 160.In general，the people not only live a long time，but they also live well.They are almost never sick，and when they die，they have not only their own teeth but also a full head of hair, and good eyesight.Vilcabamba， Ecuador is another area famous for the longevity of its inhabitants.There are few serious diseases there.One reason for the good health ofthe people might be the clean，beautiful environment：the temperature is about 70°F all year long；the wind always comes from the same direction；and the region is rich in flowers，fruit，vegetables，and wildlife.In some ways，the diets of the inhabitants in these three regions are quite different. Hunzukuts eat mainly raw vegetables，fruit and chapattis - a kind of pancake；they eat meat only a few times a year.The Caucasian diet consists mainly of milk，cheese，vegetables，fruit, and meat；most people there drink the local red wine daily.In Vilcabamba，people eat a small amount of meat each week，but the diet consists largely of grain，corn，beans，potatoes，and fruit.Apart from calories，natural food，their mountains，and their distance from modern cities，inhabitants in these three regions have other things in common.Because these people live in the countryside and are mostly farmers，their life is physically hard.Thus，they do not need to go to health clubs because they get a lot of exercise in their daily work.In addition，although their life is hard, the people do not seem to have the worries of city people. Their life is quiet. Consequently，some experts believe that physical exercise and freedom from worry might be the two most important secrets of longevity.26.
