请阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从36~55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C或D）中，选出最佳选项。
A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was 36 was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of 37 as a result of exhausted（用尽的）battery. Nothing could be done but 38 in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the 39 of the rescue team.
It is almost 40 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41: “First of all I checked my 42 conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no 43 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 44. In this way I dozed（打盹）off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the 45 of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men 46 to explore a mountain cave and got lost. 47 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 48. Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 49 team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 50 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 51 themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with 52 itself? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness. Focus that it’s unclear to you yet and you needn’t put up struggle 53. It seems to be a negative（消极的）attitude, 54 a person who can do so must have foresight as well as a great 55 in the first place. 331w

Many of us like cooking but never have much time for it. Helen Fry’s new book Quick Cooking has been specially written for busy people. It has over 1,000 recipes, from the famous Spanish gazpacho to Swedish smorgasbord. The book is well written and the photographs and drawings are clear. (They are like those in the excellent little Quick Dressmaking and Quick Gardening.) The book has a strong plastic cover. It is easy to find your way around it too. And busy people, notice this! Mrs. Fry tells you how much time you need in order to get each dish ready.
Quick Cooking has 4 parts, one for each season. This helps you to use fresh fruit and vegetables when they are cheaper—and, of course, better. There are a lot of exciting ideas from foreign countries, and most of the recipes are easy to follow. You take something simple like a chicken or some cheese, and make and unusual dish out of it. For example, there are no fewer than 40 recipes for eggs! Mrs Fry does not plan complete meals for the “quick book”. The beginners will have to find out a lot of things for himself—or herself. But this ought not to be difficult with such a good book. I wanted to try many of the recipes as soon as I read them. For people with little spare time Helen Fry’s Quick Cooking is excellent value. 240w

Signs in Chinese will be set up in public areas such as airports, to benefit Chinese travelers, the Italian Government announced in late February. Now many European countries are expected to follow this example.
Despite the different languages, travel across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas from the two countries. You also needed a calculator because both countries had different money.
Today, with a Schengen Visa issued by any member country, you can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most of the EU, there is now just one type of money called the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and already makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid（有效的）in the other European countries. And you can use your mobile phone everywhere.
All the countries in the continent are melting into a united Europe under the EU. For Europeans and visitors, the result is that is more convenient to travel back and forth between the different countries. 215w
60.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage us to travel across Europe.
B.To suggest that the whole world is melting into one like the EU.
C.To praise the tourism policy of the EU.
D.To introduce tourism conditions in the EU.
61.By saying the underlined sentence “Now many European countries are expected to
follow this example”, the writer means that ____.
A.more signs will be set up in Chinese in European countries
B.more and more Europeans have a desire to know more about China
C.more and more Chinese people will go to travel across Europe
D.Chinese is now an important language in Europe

B.you can use a calculator to exchange money
C.applying for different visas is much simpler
D.one visa is good enough for traveling in a number of countries
63.It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A.an increasing number of Chinese tend to travel to Europe
B.Chinese has become an important language in Europe
C.the Euro is the only money used in the EU now
D.it is always necessary to unite many countries into one
C
It is naturally impossible for a well educated, intellectual（懂道理的）,or brave man to make money-the chief of his thoughts; it is naturally impossible for him to make his dinner—the necessary object of him. All healthy—minded people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy—minded people like making money—but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something more important than money.
A good soldier for instance, mainly wished to do his fighting well. He is glad for his pay—very properly so, and justly complains when you keep him ten months without it; still his main aim of his life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.
As for doctors, they like fees, no doubt — ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated, the entire object（目标） of their lives is not fees. They, on the whole, wishes to cure me sick, and—they are good doctors, and the choices is fairly put to them—would rather cure their patients and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men—their work is first, their fees second, very important always, but still second. 226w
64.The text is mainly about ____.
A.money is not everything but no money is nothing
B.work is first but money is also important
C.work is the chief opinion of the good people’s lives
D.People like less work but more money
65.According to the text, it is ____ that a good solider will run away when a drowning man needs help but there is no money.
A.impossible B.possible C.clever D.foolish 66.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph means ____.
A.their patient B.their work C.the object of lives D.their money
67.If you are middle school teacher described in the text, what will you do if you are not paid for six months?
A.To quarrel with the headmaster
B.To go on teaching in this school
C.To give up the teaching in this school and find a teaching job in another school

History is a society’s memory and forms part of people’s identity（身份）. But Taiwan’s government has proposed a change to their history. In the move their textbooks will separate the island’s history from the rest of China.
By disconnecting the island’s history from the mainland, the government hopes to create a stronger Taiwan identity.
Under new guidelines（方针）to be carried out in 2006, Taiwan has ordered high schools to change textbooks to create one book of Taiwan’s history. At the moment their books cover the complete Chinese history. But following the new move Chinese history will be taught as part of international history. No longer to be included as part of Taiwan’s history is the founding of the Republic of China (ROC) in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen. This event will be in the new international history book.
“It is a political attempt by Taiwan’s leader Chen Shuibian to make their education support Taiwan’s independence,” said Li Weiyi, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council.
This move has also received great opposition in Taiwan’s schools. “The new outline is too political and facts have been changed,” said Yu Lin, the headmaster of Taipei Middle School. “It will confuse students’ understanding of history.”
“Who on earth should I think is the founding father of the ROC?” asked a student in Taipei. “Many famous people in history like Confucius（孔子）or Sun Yat-sen, who was considered ‘father of the ROC’ for more than half a century, should now be thought of as foreigners based upon this ridiculous logic,” he said.
Many people have shown opposition to the move. “History cannot be changed. Mixing politics with our history means forgetting our ancestors,” said Lien Chan, chairman of Kuomintang Party. “It will not do any good for the Taiwanese and only worsen cross-Straits relations.” 313w
68.What is mainly described in the passage?
A.Taiwan’s government has proposed a change to their history textbooks in 2006.
B.Taiwan authorities want to separate the island from the mainland.
C.Taiwan leaders want to make their education support Taiwan’s independence.
D.Taiwan leaders try to confuse students’ understanding of history.
69.What’s the excuse for the move according to Taiwan’s government?
A.To cut off all connections with the mainland.
B.To disconnect the island’s history from the mainland.
C.Most of the Taiwanese do not welcome the textbook.
D.To create a stronger Taiwanese identity.
70.Which of the following is not included in the move?
A.Chinese history will be taught as part of international history.
B.The founding of the Republic of China (ROC) in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen will be in
the new international history book.
C.Sun Yat-sen will be considered ‘father of the ROC’.
D.Many famous people in history like Confucius or Sun Yat-sen will be thought of
as foreigners.
71.Which of the following doesn’t show the correct relation between the man and
the opinion?
A.China’s spokesman: It is an attempt to make their education support Taiwan’s
independence.
B.Headmaster in Taipei: The new outline will throw light on students’
understanding of history.
C.A student in Taipei: It’s ridiculous.
D.Chairman of Kuomintang Party: The relation between the island and the
mainland will become tense.

Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists’ warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.
Predictions are improving. “We’re gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzbach, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right, ” Klotzbach says.
First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the vapor（水蒸气）cools and turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane.
If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “tropical storm”, and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane.
Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world.
On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher.
The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October. 285w
72.According to the passage, hurricanes usually ____.
A.form off the coast of Africa and America
B.travel at 40 milies per hour and get its name
C.cause sea winds to rise and blow over the sea
D.hit parts of the world in summer and autumn
73.The underlined word “evaporates” (in Paragraph 5) probably means “____”.
A.begins to move B.gets lost C.becomes hot D.changes into gas
74.Which of the following about the information of a hurricane is the correct order?
a.The ocean water evaporates and goes into the air.
b.Heat creates energy and cuases winds to increase.
c.The vaport cools.
d.The ocean water is warm enough.
e.The vapor changes back into liquid.
f.This course gives out heat.
A.a, d, e, b, c, f B.a, b, c, f, d, e C.d, a, c, e, f, b D.d, a, b, c, e, f
75.According to the passage, the speed of the biggest two hurricanes reaches ____.
A.115 miles per hour B.110 miles per hour
C.75 miles per hour D.95 miles per hour

New Trend of Holiday-taking
The way people spend their holidays is quite different from what it was ten years ago. As we can see from the table, the percentage of people traveling on holidays in 1995 was only 13.2, compared with what is now 28.6, which has more than doubled. The destinations people choose for traveling are quite different now. Ten years ago, the scenic spots within the city or the province were their main choice, and now all the places of interest, including the famous mountains and rivers throughout the country are preferred. More and more people tend to travel abroad. Besides, the means of transportation have also varied greatly, driving private cars or traveling with agencies have largely taken the place of traveling by bike, bus or taxi mainly applied before. 113w

The way people spend their holidays is quite different from what it was ten years ago. First, let’s compare the rates of traveling in 2005 with that of traveling in 1995. the rates of traveling in 1995 is 13.2%, while it is 28.6% in 2005. It has been raised by 15.4%. It’s nearly the twice rates of traveling in 1995.
The destinations of traveling are also different from what was ten years ago. At that time, people only travel within the range of province and cities nearby. But nowadays, people have more spare time to travel to the famous places of interest. They not only travel in China, but also travel to foreign countries where there are more beautiful and curious scenery.
I think that the most interesting is to travel in our own car or with the league of travel agency, which is more convenient for us to travel. But in 1995, people had to ride a bike or take a bus, which is not simple for people to travel.
In a word, traveling is more and more convenient today. 165w

The way people spend their holidays is quite different from what it was ten years ago.
In the past ten years, there were only thirteen to two percent of people who went to travel to spend their holidays. And their tools of travel were simple such as bikes, buses, taxes. And people always spent their holidays in their own city. It was not exciting.
But today the number of travelers is increasing to 28.6 percent. And people also can drive their own car or take train and air to spend their holidays. It’s very comfortable. People go to travel around own country, around the world. The interesting places let travelers have a feast for the eyes.
So the trend of Holiday-taking is change well. 108w
