第一节:阅读理解(每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Cyril was a small town. The houses there were all made of wood; almost everything in the houses such as cupboards, tables and chairs were made of wood, too. And all the houses faced south. The town was never peaceful. Fire broke out once a week on summer afternoons. Residents were puzzled who the real firebug(纵火犯) was.
2
One day a big fire broke out. It was said that a Negro had jumped out of the house on fire, so the police arrested all the Negroes in the street. However, fire never stopped breaking out when the Negroes were in prison.
Mauson, a physics teacher didn’t believe that the Negroes were the firebugs, for he really knew about those Negroes, He made up his mind to find out who the real firebug was. One day he was invited to drink in a pub and happened to notice that many bottles and plastic plates were baked by the hot sunrays. Suddenly he realized what the actual fact was. He jumped with joy, saying, ―I’ve got the answer!‖
Mauson dashed out of the pub to his friend’s house nearby, which also faced south. He made an experiment there to confirm his idea.
The next Saturday afternoon, Mauson asked some policemen and newsmen to come to the house. They were told that the real firebug would be shown there. At that time the sun was shining full into the house and it became hotter and hotter inside the room.
Someone wanted to draw the curtains together, while another was going to use a bottle to drink water, but neither got permission from Mauson, who wanted to let the firebug in. ―Now,‖ said Mauson, ―this house will soon catch fire.‖ People looked at each other in surprise. Mauson asked them to look at the bottles and focus on the table cloth. After a while the cloth gave off a burning smell and began to catch fire!
The mystery of fire was discovered, but the police wouldn’t believe him and insisted that Negroes had been the firebugs. Instead they arrested Mauson and put him into prison. But Mauson said he would never turn against science. 46. The town was never peaceful, for fire broke out . A. in the afternoon B. in summer C. at any time D. A and B 47.

Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow-blindness. Yet, dark glasses or not , they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow-blindness, when exposed to several hours of ―snow light‖. The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of barren
(少植被的) snow-covered terrain (地形). So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and
forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature eases this irritation by producing more fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs (模糊), then is obscured (遮蔽), and the result is total, even though temporary, snow-blindness.
Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop scouring the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.
51. To prevent headaches, watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow, dark
glasses are _________.
A. indispensable and essential B. useful
C. ineffective D. available
52. When the eyes are sore tears are produced to _________.
3
A. balance the pain B. treat snow-blindness C. clear the vision
D. loosen the muscles
53. Snow-blindness may be avoided by _________. A. concentrating on the solid white terrain
B. searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrain C. providing the eyes with something to focus on D. covering the eyeballs with more fluid
54. The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes in order to _________. A. prevent the men behind losing their way B. beautify the landscape of the terrain C. warm themselves in the severe cold D. give the men behind something to see
55. A suitable title for this passage would be _________.
A. nature's cure for snow-blindness B. snow-blindness and how to overcome it C. soldiers marching in the snow D. snow vision and its effect on eyesight C
The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single-engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn’t know how high she was flying. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged into the sea.
Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.
In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time on, Amelia Earhart was famous.
What was so important about her flight? Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty-six minutes. In the years that followed, Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each occasion she set a new record for flying time. Amelia Earhart made these flights
to show that women had a place in aviation and that air travel was useful.
56. Which of the following statements is NOT the difficulty which Amelia Earhart met in her
flight from North America to England?
A. She was caught in a storm. B. The altimeter went out of order. C. Her engine went wrong. D. She lost her direction. 57. When Amelia Earhart saw flames coming from the engine, what did she do? A. She did nothing but pray for herself.
B. She changed her direction and landed in Ireland. C. She continued flying. D. She lost hope of reaching land.
58. According to the passage, what was Amelia Earhart’s reason for making her flights? A. To set a new record for flying time.

D. A Dangerous Flight from North America to England.

When did you last see a polar bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These \"Polar Bears\" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60.
4
Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages)of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. \"When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away.\"
61.The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that . A. they must reach the age of 60
B. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months C. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February D. they should be easy to make friends with 62. Doctors . A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively
B. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming C. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming D. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summer
63. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that . A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue B. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter
C. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high D. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water
64. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for . A. they can remain young
B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter C. they might meet fewer troubles in life D. they find it enjoyable and interesting 65. The passage is mainly about .
