And by the age of 24 he was one of the most successful men in Philadelphia.In 1732 Franklin published a book “ POOR RICHARD’S ALMANAC（历本）”. Most almanacs contained information for farmers, such as information about the days and weeks of the year and about the weather. To his almanac, Franklin added wise sayings, his observations about life, some of these sayings are still famous today.

Both A and B26-30答案：DBCBDQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: （中）Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.31. Pruning should be done to _____.A. make the tree grow tallerB. improve the shape of the treeC. get rid of the small branchesD. make the small branches thicker32. Trees become unhealthy if the gardener _____.A .allows too many branches to grow in the middleB. .does not protect them from windC. .forces them to grow too quicklyD. .damages some of the small side branches33. Why is a special substance painted on the tree?A. To make a wound smoothB. To prevent disease entering a woundC. To cover a rough surfaceD. To help a wound to dry34. A good gardener prunes a tree_____.A .at intervals throughout the yearB .as quickly as possibleC .occasionally when necessaryD .regular every winter35. What was the author's purpose when writing this passage?A. To give practical instruction for pruning a tree.B. To give a general description of pruningC. To explain how trees develop diseasesD. To discuss different methods of pruning.31-35答案：BABCAQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: （较难）Water problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem. There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to" disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or effluents, to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential economic uses for waste products.36. The purpose of this passage is _____.A. .to alert the reader to the dwindling water supplyB. .to explain industrial uses of waterC. to acquaint the reader with water pollution problemsD. to demonstrate various measures to solve the pollution problem37. Which of the following points is NOT INCLUDED in the passage?A. Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processes.B. Diluting wastes needs certain amount of waterC. Demands for water will go up along with the expanding populationD. Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals38. The reader can conclude that_____A. countries of the world will work together on pollution problemsB. byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplaceC. science is making great progress on increasing water suppliesD. some industries are now taking economic use of wastes39. The author gives substance to the passage through the use of_____.A. interviews with authorities in the field of water controlsB. opinions and personal observationsC. definitions which clarify important termsD. strong arguments and persuasions40. The words "prior to "(para.1) probably mean_____.A after B. during C. before D. beyond36-40答案：CA DBCQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: (中)Traveling through the country a couple of weeks ago on business, I was listening to the talk of the late UK writer Douglas Adams’ master work “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” on the radio and thought---I know, I’ll pick up the next hitchhikers I see and ask them what the state of real hitching is today in Britain.I drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next few days and never saw a single one.When I was in my teens and 20s, hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport. The kindness or curiosity of strangers took me all over Europe, North America, Asia and southern Africa. Some of the lift-givers became friends, many provided hospitality on the road.Not only did you find out much more about a country than when traveling by train or plane, but there was that element of excitement about where you would finish up that night.Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture. It has books and songs about it .So what has happened to it?A few years ago, I was asked the same question about hitching in a column of a newspaper. Hundreds of people from all over the world responded with their view on the state of hitchhiking.Rural Ireland was recommended as a friendly place for hitching, as was Quebec, Canada-“if you don’t mind being criticized for not speaking French”.But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places, the general feeling was that throughout much of the west it was doomed.With so much news about crime in the media, people assumed that anyone on the open road without the money for even a bus ticket must present a danger. But do we need to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift?In Poland in the 1960s, according to a Polish woman who e-mail me ,＂the authorities introduced the Hitchhiker’s Booklet. The booklet contained coupons for drivers, so each time a driver picked somebody, he or she received a coupon. At the end of the season, drivers who had picked up the most hiker s were rewarded with various prizes. Everyone was hitchhiking then”.Surely this is a good idea for society. Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down barriers between strangers. It would help fight global warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels. It would also improve educational standards by delivering instant lessons in geography, history, politics and sociology.A century before Douglas Adams wrote his “Hitchhiker’s Guide”, another adventure stor y writer, Robert Louis Stevenson, gave us that what should be the hitchhiker’s motto: “To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.” What better time than putting a holiday weekend intopractice. Either put it to the test yourself, or help out someone who is trying to travel hopefully with thumb outstretched.41. In which paragraph(s) does the writer comment on his experience of hitchhiking? ________A. (3)B. (4)C. (3) and (4)D. (4) and (5)42. What is the current situation of hitchhiking? _______A. It is popular in some parts of the world.B. It is popular throughout the west.C. It is popular in Poland.D. It is still popular in Poland.43. What is the writer’s attitude towards the practice in Poland? ________A. Critical.B. Unclear.C. Somewhat favorable.D. Strongly favorable.44. The writer has mentioned all the following benefits of hitchhiking EXCEPT ________A. promoting mutual respect between strangers.B. increasing one’s confidence in strangers.C. protecting environment.D. enr ich one’s knowledge.45. “Either put it to the test yourself…”in the last Paragraph means ________A. to experience the hopefulness.B. to read Adams’ book.C. to offer someone a lift.D. to be a hitchhiker.41-45答案：CADBDPart III Cloze (10%) （理解、识记、掌握）Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.
