A
In the old days divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.
One famous sunken ship is the “Lusitania”, which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly 1,500 lives. It had four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $3,000,000 or more. The ship, lying on the sea-bed, has been bought by a man called John Light. He paid about $12,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $6,000,000.
The “Andria Doria” is another valuable ship lying on the sea-bed. It is an Italian passenger ship which sank in 1956 after a collision(互撞) with a Swedish ship. The ship itself is worth at least $30,000,000 and in addition she was carrying over $4,800,000 in money and many other valuable things. There is one silver object which is worth $1,200,000. But the ship is lying in deep water which is very dark and cold. A strong current also sweeps past the ship and so far divers have been unsuccessful.
56.Divers try to bring up metal from sunken ships because __________.
A. it has been in the sea for a long time
B. metal becomes better after it has been in the sea
C. some kinds of metal are worth a lot of money today
D. gold and jewels are not as valuable
57.John Light thinks that he may be able to sell all the parts of “Lusitania” for _____.
A. $12,000 B. $300,000 C. $1,200,000 D. $18,000,000
58.John Light bought the “Lusitania” ____________.
A. before 1915 B. before it sank
C. after it sank D. after it had been brought to the surface
59.Diver have tried to bring up things from “Andria Doria” because _______.
A. the water is not very deep B. there is silver in the ship
C. the ship and the things in it are very valuable D. it sank in a collision
B
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey (曲棍球), golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different thing that it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of efforts, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
60. Mountaineering is a sport which involves______.
A. hardship B. cold C. physical risk D. all of the above
61. The main difference between a sport and a game has something to do with the kind of_____.
A. uniform B. activity C. rules D. participants
62. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because________ .
A. it is an Olympic event
B. teams compete against each other
C. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing
D. there are 5 climbers on each team
63. Mountaineers compete against ______.
A. each other. B. nature.
C. other teams. D. international standards.
64. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football.
B. Mountain Climbers.
C. Mountaineering .
D. Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports
C
Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to "light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet.
In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts; for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry (小甜饼). Even exercise professionals concede half a point here. "Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight," says York Onnen, program director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
Still, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.
If you have been sedentary (极少活动的) and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year's time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.
65.
What is said about the average American in the passage?
.
A. They tend to exaggerate the healthful effect of "light" beer.
B. They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight.
C. They prefer "light" beer and low-calorie bread to other drinks and
food.
D. They know the factors that play a positive role in keeping down body weight.
66.
Some people dislike exercise because
.
A. they think it is physically exhausting
B. they find it hard to exercise while on a diet
C. they don't think it possible to walk 3 miles every day
D. they find consulting caloric-expenditure charts troublesome
67.
"Even exercise professionals concede half a point here" (Line 3,
Para. 2) means "They .
A. agree that the calories in a small piece of pastry can be difficult to work
off by exercise
B. partially believe diet plays a supporting role in weight reduction
C. are not fully convinced that dieting can help maintain one's new weight
D. are not sufficiently informed of the positive role of exercise in losing
weight
68.
What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Center's study?
.
A. Controlling one's calorie intake is more important than doing exercise.
B. Even occasional exercise can help reduce weight.
C. Weight reduction is impossible without exercise.
D. One could lose ten pounds in a year's time if there's no increase in food
intake.
69.

A. To justify the study of the Boston University Medical Center.
B. To stress the importance of maintaining proper weight.
C. To support the statement made by York Onnen.
D. To show the most effective way to lose weight.

Do you want to watch a hot movie while chatting with your friend on the phone, or shop with your mobile while on a train? The ongoing construction of a new telecommunication service will make these things reality, very soon.
It is reported that China is to issue its first licence for the commercial use of third generation telecommunication technology early next year.
The so-called 3G technology will enable mobile phone users to enjoy high-speed Internet-based services. It will help increase mobility in many areas of our life.
Nowadays, many mobile phones also allow you to send e-mails or read the latest stories on the Internet, but their services are limited by their transporting speed, which is only 10 kilobytes per second. But 3G will enable you to connect to the Internet with a speed of up to 2 megabytes per second, a thousand times faster than what you use now.
If recent mobile technology is like riding a bike on a country road, then 3G will make you fly on the information highway. For example, a mobile phone with 3G technology will enable you to download a three minutes’ MP3 song within two minutes. But at the moment, it will take you up to an hour to do this with your mobile phone.
In the near future, we’ll expect high-speed access to the Internet, entertainment, information and electronic commerce services wherever we are – not just at our computers or television sets.
In the UK and many other European countries where 3G services have been around since 2003, 3G has already become a part of modern business life. Nowadays, employees are able to spend some of their working hours at home. The new technology allows the emergency services to provide a video link with a hospital or doctor for patients who need special care.
70. What are the strength of the so-called 3G technology?
A. It enables mobile phone users to enjoy Internet-based services
B. It can enable you to download MP3songs.
C. A 3G mobile phone can transport information much faster than what we use now.
D. 3G technology will offer you high-speed access to the Internet wherever there is a computer.
71. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It is impossible for us to listen to MP3 music with our current mobile phone.
B. Thanks to 3G phones, European employees needn’t always travel to work .
C. 3G mobile phone enables you to watch a hot movie while chatting.
D. The new technology allows a doctor to examine a patient through a video link.
72. Which sentence can best describe the picture?
A. 3G will make you fly on the information highway.
B. 3G will help increase mobility in many areas of our lives.
C. 3G has already become a part of modern business.
D. 3G will enable you connect to the internet with a speed of 2 megabytes per second.

We Want to Have Our Own Time
As we all know, today students have more and more homework. They use their spare time to do the homework and to take lessons. Then, students have no time for themselves. In my opinion, students should have more time to develop themselves.
First, students should have some time to relax and play. This doesn’t mean that they will waste time. We can also study and learn from the play. After doing the homework for a long time, it is necessary to have some time to relax. “No play and no games makes Jack a dull boy.” We don’t want to be dull boys. We want to be good students in many ways.
Second, we can have our own time in order to make our body strong enough. This can be helpful in our further study.
After all, I want to say, students should have their own time to develop themselves.
