Section II

Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits hest according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Winter is a great time to experiment with new sports. The key is to find one that matches your interests and natural abilities. Ii you like to walk, keep walking--on snowshoes. If you want to try all endurance sport, go for cross-country skiing. In addition, snowboarding is just great fun.

Not satisfied with these? Try downhill skiing, then. Downhill skiing is not as hard as it used to be- shorter, lightweight, curved skis make any beginner feel like an Olympic winner. These newer skis along with another type of equipment called skiboards, which are even shorter than skis -- help you control your speed and body movements.

Are you considering testing the latest high-tech skis or snowboards? Check with your local sports shops or the rental(租用) places at the ski mountains about sample programs.

You could also try sledding. Use a wood-framed sled with steel runners or a plastic sled to head down a snowy hill. lf you prefer ice to snow, think hockey or figure skating.

Runners can also train during the winter in spite of wet or slippery roads. One of the easiest sports around, snowshoeing can be excellent cold-weather cross-training for runners and cyclists - or anyone wanting to take a wintry

walk in the woods. Snowshoes are smaller, lighter, and better than ever. If you want to try them out, you may be able to rent a pair for a day at many of the larger outdoor or sporting goods stores.

Whatever sport you choose, don't depend on a friend for instruction(指导). You wouldn't let an inexperienced doctor perform a brain operation on you, bat why let one teach you to ski or skate? That's what instructors are for - to help newcomers staff out right. Instructors can give you advice about equipment, techniques, safety, and dealing with injuries if they do happen to you.

Above all, if you want to progress, spend some time in learning the basic skills completely. Everything else you do as a skier, boarder, or skater will be built on these first skills.

54. How many different types of sports are mentioned in the first two paragraphs?

A. Six.

B. Five.

C. Four.

D. Three.

55. What does the sentence "You wouldn't let an inexperienced doctor perform a brain operation on you, but why let

one teach you to ski or skate?" imply?

A. Don't let an inexperienced doctor perform an operation on you when injured,

C. Instructors can give better advice on skiing and skating than your friends do.

D. It's dangerous to have an inexpert person teach you to ski or skate.

56. Who are the most likely readers of the passage?

A. High school students.

B. Physical educators.

C. Winter sports lovers.

D. Professional athletes.

(B)

Some organisms, such as salamanders(火蜥蜴) and lobsters, can regenerate (使再生) limbs they have lost. This means they can regrow a fool, a tail, or any other part of the body that has been cut or broken off. Although human cells are not able to do this, the human body is wonderfully resilient(有复原力的) in other ways, For one thing, it can withstand strong blows and still maintain its ability to function. The amazing recovery of Phineas Gage is one of the examples.

Phineas Gage, who was employed by the Rutland and Burlington Railroad, recovered from an injury that gave medical history a great surprise. While he was doing repairs on the railroad, a stock of high-powered dynamite(炸药) accidentally exploded(爆炸) and therefore his brain was greatly damaged.

Gage was thrown by the explosion, but regained consciousness (意识) soon afterward. He even watched the

doctors as they tended his wound. For several weeks Gage could not see through his eyes, But after a few months he was able to think clearly and return to work.

Until this day, doctors have found no plausible explanation for this man's recovery. They never expected Gage to survive, but he lived for several years after the accident. After Gage died, his skull was placed in the museum of the Massachusetts Medical College, where it remains as a reminder of the human will to live,

57. What's this passage mainly about'?.

A. Regeneration.

B. Phineas Gage.

C. Gage was a hard worker.

D. Gage could not see through his left eye.

59. What does the underlined word plausible mean?

A. Terrible.

B. Magical.

C. Reasonable.

D. Medical.

60. What can we infer from the passage?

A. It takes time to recover from an accident.

B. Railroad workers must be careful.

C. The human will to live is powerful.

D. Salamanders make good pets.

(C)

Five years ago, .David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict (有瘾的人) "he jokes. "I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled." Today David wears casual clothes--khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie." I am working harder than ever. "David says" and I need to feel comfortable."

More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual, in the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday) .This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday". "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit (好处) for employees has really become an everyday thing." said business consultant Maisly Jones.

Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for

work," says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative (保守的) dress code." Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (心境，士气) . Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity, Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said. "For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes."

61. David Smith refers to himself as having been "a clothes addict," became ___________.

A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt

B. he couldn't stand a clean appearance

C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time

D. he didn't want to spend much money on clothes

62. David Smith wears casual clothes now, became __________.

A. they make him feel at ease when working

B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes

C. he looks handsome in casual clothes

D. he no longer works for any company

63. In this passage, the following benefits(好处) of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT __________.

A. saving employees' money

B. making employees more attractive

C. improving employees' motivation

D. making employees happier
