Mike was a farmer who lived in a village far away. One day he became very ill and everyone thought he would die. They sent for a doctor, who arrived two days later and examined the sick man. The doctor asked for a pen and some paper to write down the name of

the medicine. But there was no pen or paper in the village, because no one could read or write.

The doctor picked up a piece of burned wood from the fire. Using the wood, he wrote the

name of the medicine on the door of the house. Get this medicine for him, he said, and he

will soon get better.

Mike's family and friends did not know what to do. They could not read the strange writing. Then the village baker had an idea. He took off the door of the house, put it on his cart

and drove to the nearest town. He bought the medicine and Mike was soon well again. He

Passage 3

Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his

country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He

is responsible for an entire nation's hopes, dreams and reputation.

A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world's most important sport.

Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention

Argentina to someone and the chances are that he'll think of football. In a sense, winning the

World Cup puts Argentina on the map.

Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational（失去理性的）about the World Cup, People

in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year

thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to

Argentina, where the finals were played.

So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do

the Argentinean really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at

football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But it's nice to

if you win, and that in one way at least your country is the best.

31. What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?

3

Passage 4

The wheel was one of man's first inventions and yet it has also proved one of the most useful. So wide and varied are the uses of wheels, in machines and vehicles of all kinds mat it

is difficult to imagine what the world would be like without them. It is surprising to hear it said,

therefore, that the wheel's importance will perhaps be greatly reduced by the end of the century

by an invention so new as to be still unnamed.

This invention is a machine that floats above any surface on a cushion of air. The cushion

is formed when air is blown into the bottom of the machine. This part is shaped like a saucer

turned upside down. If air is blown into the saucer, the machine rises to a height that may vary

from a few inches to a few feet.

Industry is already using one form of the invention to deal with heavy loads. It can lift them with ease and since there are no wheels, and therefore no friction(磨擦), they

into motion with the touch of a finger.

The new invention, however, is having a great effect on transport. Not only does it make

expensive road systems unnecessary, but also it enables vehicles to travel equally well over

land or water. This unique ability to reach most destinations has given rise to the prediction

that wheeled vehicles may be as uncommon at the end of this century as airplanes were at the

beginning of last century.

36. The first paragraph tells us that____.

A) big wheels have all kinds of uses

B) the wheel's usefulness hasn't been proved

C) a new invention may make wheels less important

D) the wheel was man's earliest invention

37. In the third paragraph, the phrase “with the touch of a finger means_____.

A) without friction B) by hand C) without difficulty D) with a hand

4

A) makes it possible to travel without using roads

B) will replace wheeled vehicles in a few years

C) will be used instead of airplanes in the near future

D) is more important for industry than for transport

40. Vehicles using the new invention will probably be _____ at the end of this century.
