阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
PHILADELPHLA ---- Nobody said self-taught classical pianist had it easy. But Jason Rogers’ path was especially hard –-- he had to search to find pianos to hone (磨练) his talent, spending afternoons at one school and evenings at another.
The days of walking and hitching rides (搭便车) are over. On Wednesday, a piano was delivered to his family’s house, a gift from Carole Haas, who once heard the 16-year-old boy play.
“My baby’s got his own piano,” Jason’s mother, Alice Eason, said as the dark mahogany (红褐色的) Bellah baby grand (平台式钢琴) arrived at their house.
Once it was got in position, Jason stood back and just looked at it. It was one of the few times in his life he had to be advised to play.
Finally, his mother and others talked him into it and he played some Chopin. Jason has loved to play ever since he was a little boy. His mother and grandmother, who both played music at church, taught him how. They’d show him a few chords（和弦）and he’d take off performing, his mother remembered. Soon he began searching for new teachers, and learning on his own.
Carole Haas heard Jason play a piece at a City Hall reception, recalling he “just seemed to glow as he played. He radiated.” She said she knew immediately that he should have a piano.
Now, along with study at Temple University’s Esther Boyer College of music and a scholarship at Settlement Music School, Jason can practise by just stepping into his living room.
56. Why did Jason Rogers have to spend afternoons at one school and evenings at another?
A. He had to search for places to improve his skill.
B. He liked to play in different places.
C. He just showed off his talent in this way.
D. He didn’t want to use his own piano.
57. When Carol Haas said, “… just seemed to glow as he played. He radiated.” she meant ______.
A. he gave off light and heat
B. his music made listeners warm
C. his piano glowed
D. he impressed his listeners with his talent
58. Why did Jason need to be advised to play it when the piano arrived?
A. He was too excited to play it.
B. He didn’t want to play the piano but just look at it.
C. He was so glad that he forgot how to play it.
D. He wanted to play for more people.
59. Which is the correct order of the story?
a. He spent time at different schools.
b. He got a new piano from Carole Haas.
c. His mother and the others advised him to play on the new piano.
d. His mother and grandmother taught him to play the piano.

Kate slipped the key into the ignition slot of the bus. The key settled itself firmly with a satisfying click. She then did several things at once: pushed down on the clutch pedal, released(放开) the handbrake, and placed her right foot in position at the accelerator.
She managed a quick glance at Miro: still outside, still a step or two away.
She eased the lever shift into reverse(相反), carefully, because sometimes it made
a noise. Not this time though; it locked into place quietly. She didn’t have to worry about more shifting. She was going to move in one direction only: reverse.
She turned the key in the ignition and pressed down on the accelerator. The engine moaned: like a yawn (呵欠). She pumped the accelerator, aware of a movement now at the corner of her eye: Miro. She moved the lever that controlled the door. The door closed with a pleasing sound. She turned to make sure of its closing –--- and saw Miro’s face, his eyes and mouth forming ovals（egg-shaped）of astonishment. He might have been screaming at her; she didn’t know.
She didn’t know because the engine had come alive, pushing, sounding eager and confident, the way an engine sounds on a rainy night. She pressed the accelerator and let up the clutch, slowly, not wanting to stall (停止转动) the engine, but concentrating on the balance of her feet on the accelerator and the clutch.
The bus moved along.
60. The italicized words in the passage are words ______.
A. for atmosphere in the bus

A. she was afraid that the bus would stall
B. the owner of the bus had told her to do this
C. the bus was old and had to be treated carefully
D. she did not want anyone to hear what she was doing

A. Miro’s voice was too low for her
B. she was looking in the opposite direction
C. she was too busy concentrating on her drive
D. Miro did not speak to Kate
63. Kate’s action in this passage shows that she was __________.
A. determined B. secret C. patient D. dangerous
C
Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen week; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five years courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student t o show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous number of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.
64. Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes each week.
A. 12 B. 15 C. 20 D. 36
65. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ______.
A. to live in a different universities

D
Thirty-two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbour. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this inhuman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fellowman?
“Not so,” said scientist John Darleyand and Bibb Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to examine the reason why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that there is emergency(紧急情况).
Suppose you see a middle-aged man fell to the sidewalk. Is he having a heart attack ? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?
Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Or it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.
The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be “tested”. Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the “tests”. Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the “testing room” and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a cry for help, which had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.
Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.
In other words, in a group, people often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.
Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. The scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.
68. When the students heard “a cry for help”, the ones who must possibly acted were ________.
A. taking the test in groups B. taking the test in pairs
C. taking the tests alone D. not taking any tests
69. A particular mention of Kitty Genovese in the opening paragraph ____________.
A. serves as a description of human reaction
B. serves as an introduction to the topic of this passage
C. shows a disagreement of views
D. shows the people’s cruelty nowadays
70. Why do people in groups not act?
A. They don’t feel it emergency.
B. They don’t want to get into the trouble.
C. They don’t think it their duty.
D. They do think of their own lives.
71. This passage tries to explain ________.
A. when people will act in emergency
B. why people are cruel
C. how to tell what is an emergency
D. how science can explain people’s actions
E
Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word, radiation.
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected(探测) by human sense. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect tem, sense them, without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can like an animal or human being at once by killing masses of cells in important organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed at once. Your body will replace the deal cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reported themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated (放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five , ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.
72. According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in ______
A. nuclear mystery B. radiation detection
C. radiation level D. nuclear radiation
73. Radiation can lead to serious result even at the lowest level_______.
A. when it kills few cells.
B. if it damages few cells
C. though the damaged cells can repair themselves
D. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves
74. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can ______.
A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately
B. damage cells which may grow into cancer years later
C. affect the healthy growth of our younger generation
D. lead to all of the above result
75. Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?
A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be over-emphasized.
B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.
C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.
D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.

One possible version:
One day Mr Skinflint was enjoying his ice-cream while he was walking to some place. Suddenly he saw Mary, who was his neighbour, coming toward him with a dog walking ahead of her. He hurriedly hid the ice-cream behind him, greeting, “Hi, Mary.” Mary didn’t notice that. She stopped and began to talk about the weather.
While they were talking, the dog smelled the ice-cream. It walked to the back of Mr Skinflint and began lapping the ice-cream. Realizing what the dog was doing, Mr Skinflint had to pretend as if nothing had happened. So far Mary noticed it too, pretending nothing was happening.
