One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel. Life seemed(36). The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their(37) for granted, just as he(38) himself. Now, however, he felt(39)- and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his(40).

The message that accompanies Jimmy’s drawings, however, is(50): Though the world may make us feel small, we must be(51).

Ed Jocelyn and Andy McEwen might have appeared to be a bit mad-the two set off on their own “Long March” through the remotest regions of China on October 16. The idea was to take a year to retrace one of the epic(史诗般的) movements of modern military history.
The two British men in their mid-30s were working as editors in Beijing when they decided to relive the tales of the original marches. “We hold these people in such esteem,” McEwen says.
They plan to keep diaries but will not share the contents during the trip. “When we get to the end we’ll put our heads together and try and come up with a book,” Jocelyn said.
Their trip has had some auspicious beginning, they have already met two Long March veterans(老战士) in less than a month of travel.
In this modern version, the pair are aided by high-tech equipment including a satellite phone, mini-computer, video camera and solar panels to recharge batteries. A mountain tent and portable stove will help them in the remoter stretches.
They plan to average 35-40 kilometers a day, and rest about every third day. Ed admitted that their trip would be very tough..
If they succeed, they will be the first foreigners to complete the entire Long March route since Otto Braun, the German military advisor who accompanied the Red Army on the Long March.
56．This text is mainly about .
A．high-tech equipment helpful to the Long March
B．first foreigners to walk the Long March
C．British editors’ adventure original in China
D．British recall of the Long March spirit
57．The underlined word “auspicious” most probably means .
A．favourable B．friendly C．strange D．surprising
58．Which of the following statements is NOT true about the two foreigners?
A．They won’t use anything modern on the way.
B．They will do some cooking by themselves.
C．They will send off news about what happens day by day.
D．They’re planning to have a book published one year later.

Situated in the South West of England, between Exeter and Plymouth, Torquay is one of the most popular holiday resorts（度假胜地）in Britain. It provides sophisticated（精致）entertainment, sports of every kind and cultural facilities, all set in a position of outstanding natural beauty. Visitors can choose between luxury hotels by the sea, with private suites（套房），swimming pools and saunas, and comfortable but less expensive guest houses. There are camping sites, too, and hundreds of houses displaying“B & B”signs.
As well as a number of small quiet bays, which are ideal for beach barbecues away from the crowds, Torquay has large sandy beaches where you can buy refreshments（饮料）and hire deck chairs, boats and even beach huts. There are large areas of grassland overlooking the sea, and miles of winding cliff paths for walkers who just want to enjoy the scenery and what is often said to be the healthiest air in the country. For the sportsmen and women there are opportunities not only for golf, tennis, squash and bowls, but also for water-skiing, hang-gliding and deep-sea fishing.
After a day in the open air, there’s lots to do in the evenings, too. There are plenty of discos, the occasional opera or ballet, and summer variety shows in the seafront theatres. For the children, there is a beautiful model village with a complicated railway layout which is remarkably realistic-especially when the lights are all on at night.
Of course, there’s no need to spend your whole holidays in Torquay. Only a short drive away is Dartmoor National Park, where you can walk for miles through dramatic, unspoiled countryside, or picnic by beautiful rivers and streams. Or, nearer to home, you can sail across Tor Bay to the lovely old fishing village of Brixham.
Torquay seems to have something for everyone. But don’t take my word for it-come and see for yourself.
59．Which of the following best explains what “B & B” means on the signs?
A．Bed and breakfast B．Breakfast and bath
C．Beach and barbecue D．Beautiful and British
60．According to the text Torquay might be described as .
A．comfortable and expensive B．crowed and lively
C．remote and beautiful D．fresh and healthy
61．What is special about the model village?
A．It opens at night.
B．It has something for the children
C．It’s in the open air.
D．It has a real railway system.
62．What is the purpose of writing this text?
A．To introduce the geography of Torquay to students.
B．To make some places known to visitors.
C．To show the beauty of resorts.
D．To attract more tourists.
C
It seems that the Englishman just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humourist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?
Taking all amateur（业余）and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or“association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.
The next is rugby, which is called“football”in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players rather than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.
In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.
Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.
Table-tennis, or“ping-pong”,surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.
63．The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to tell us that the English .
A．are all sports lovers B．behave like children
C．like to kick a ball around D．can remain young all their lives
64．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about football and rugby?
A．They differ in the shape of the ball.
B．They are played by different numbers of players.
C．They both can be handled
D．They both can be kicked.
65．The game that was never played in Britain until the late 19th century is .
A．basketball B．tennis C．rugby D．football
66．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．The Most Popular Sports B．The English Sports
C．History of Sports D．Sports in Britain
D
That“Monday morning feeling”could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath. Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.
The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 per cent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.
Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 per cent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.
A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 am on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries.
The findings could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University.“We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol（胆固醇）but we don’t know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can’t give clear advice on how to prevent them,” he said.
Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.
“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal（内分泌）changes in their bodies,” Willich explained.“All these things can have an unfavourable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot（血凝块）in the arteries（动脉）which will cause a heart attack.”
“When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activity,” said Willich.
67．Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, .
A．is not so serious as people thought
B．is harmful to working people in developed countries.
C．is the first killer in Germany and Italy.
D．is created by researchers in Germany and Italy
68．To protect people from suffering from heart attack, doctors have paid much attention to .
A．people’s working time B．people’s living place
C．people’s diet and lifestyle D．people’s nationalities
69．It can be learned from this passage that heart attack has nothing to do with .
A．blood pressure B．heart rate
C．hormonal changes D．blood group
70．If the researchers give us some advice to avoid Monday morning feeling, what might it be?
A．Stop working on Monday
B．Greate a pleasant working environment
C．Get up late on Monday morning
D．Go to work with a doctor

In every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments（装饰）and household goods, sometimes even in clothes.
The furniture may often be“antique”,and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salerooms, where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood, of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.
The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main trade.
There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called“junk shops”,where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity（慈善事业）.Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on, to another country or to death.
Although the British do not worship their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down, they are restored until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.
71．Books found in second-hand book shops may .
A．be copies of the earliest printing.
B．be on sale for the first time
C．never be worth very much
D．never be rare
72．What is the small town on the border between England and Wales famous for?
A．Its sheep. B．Its bookshops
C．Its cinema. D．Its castle.
73．Second-hand goods sometimes fill you with sadness because .
A．they are too expensive for average buyers
B．they remind you of the original owner
C．they are now neglected
D．they are sold for charity
74．The average British person .
A．does not respect old things because they are not fashionable
B．likes to build new houses simply because it is fashionable to do so
C．likes to buy new things because they are fashionable
D．does not like to buy things simply because they are fashionable
75．What does the underlined word“them”（Paragraph 4）refer to?
A．junk shops B．profits from shops
C．old things D．old houses

Hi, Peter:
Thanks for your e-mail. Here I’m going to tell you what you asked about.
Error Correction, as the 1st section of Written Part of NMET, mainly tests the mastery of the use of words and grammar of English. The understanding of the given text is course important to the performance.
There are 10 numbered lines, each of which may have one mistake. You have to decide firstly whether there is a mistake or not. If not, put a tick in the numbered blank. If there is a mistake, you may have to add a word, cross out a word, or change word. You have to find out the mistakes in the use of words and/or grammar. Sometimes there may be a logic problem, which would be the most difficult.
Last time I got 7 points less than expected. Why? I didn’t put the answers strictly following the rule, although I did know how to do it.
Anything still unclear? Just write to me.
