I seemed to have a hole instead of a stomach. I dressed quickly and hur
20、ried down to the _41_. It was a big room with six tall windows and the ugliest wallpaper I had ever seen. However, I had been told that the hotel was not beautiful but that you were better fed there than in any other hotel; and that was _42_ I wanted just then.The waiter came hurrying up. Before I c
21、ame downstairs I had prepared myself carefully for what I must say. I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure _43_ “breakfast” really meant “breakfast”. I had tried to get the right spelling and I had stood in front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it_44_.The waiter asked me somet
22、hing I could not understand, but I spoke only my one prepared word “BREA. KFA. ST”. He looked at me in a _45_ way, so I repeated it. Still he did not understand. It was unbelievable that English people didnt understand their own language. The waiter_46_ his head and went away, but he came back in a
23、minute and brought a tray with tea, bead and butter-enough to feed a small army and went away. But I was hungry, and I left _47_ . When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little surprise, but you can never tell what a waiters face really shows. In another minute he brought _48_ tray wi
24、th some bacon and some eggs. He must have misunderstood me, but I thought it was no use explaining to people who dont understand their own language, so I just set to work on the bacon and eggs, wondering whether I could possibly _49_ that plate.Well, I finished the bacon and eggs. I got up and made
25、my way _50_ to my roomat least five pounds heavier. I never believed until then that any meal could defeat me, but on that day I met my Waterloo(滑铁卢) 41.A. hospitalB. dining-roomC. stationD. toilet42.A. justB. whatC. thatD. why43/A. thatB. aboutC. ofD. to44.A. changedB. openedC. achedD. closed45.A.

27、igent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear. We know, howeve
28、r, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists(心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more
29、often and give them problems to think about. The children are them more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say t
30、o young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children such as “
31、That was a very clever thing you did” or “ you are such a smart child/”51. The words “ intelligent and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _. A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
32、C. great and important; common D. hopeful and helpful; careless52. According to the context we can guess that a genius is _ while an idiot is _. A. a normal person; a funny person B. a strong person; a weak person C. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person D. a famous person; an
33、 ordinary person53. A person _ is more likely to become a genius. A. whose parents are clever B. often thinking about difficult problems C. often helped by his parents and teachers D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use54. It is better for parents_. A. to praise and encourage their
34、 children more often B. to be hard on their children C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do D. to give their children as much help as possible55. Which of the following is Not true according to the article? A. Parents play an important part in their childrens growth. B. The less you use
35、 your mind the duller you may become. C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live. D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.(B)How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasu
36、res and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It
37、is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents, he is not so
38、free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not todo things or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expert others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably
39、. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If , however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great
40、happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.56. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that_. A. life for a child is comparatively easy. B. a child is always loved whatever he does C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return D. only children are
41、interested in life57. After a child grows up, he _. A. will have little time playing B. has to be successful in finding a job C. can still ask for help in time of trouble D. should be able to take care of himself58. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage? A. People are
42、 often satisfied with their life. B. Life is less interesting for old people C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do. D. Adults should no longer rely on others.59. The main idea of the passage is _. A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains B. young men can have the greatest happ
43、iness if they work hard C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in ones life D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life60. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss _. A. examples of successful young men B. how to build up ones position in society C.
44、 joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in life(C)In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first ph
45、oto.The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguere, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was cal
46、led a DaguerreotypeSoon, other people began to use Daguerres way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving th
47、ings. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they
48、 were very lifelike.Photographers also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed their feelings, like other kinds of art.61. The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of _.A. his businessB. his houseC. his gardenD. his
49、window62. The Daguerro type was _.A. a FrenchmanB. a kind of pictureC.a kind of cameraD. a photographer63. If a photographer wanted to take pictures of moving things in the year of 1840, he had to _.A. watch lots of films B. buy an expensive cameraC. stop in most cities D. take many films and someth
50、ing else with him 64. Mathew Brady_.A. was very lifelike B. was famous for his unusual picturesC. was quite strong D. took many pictures of moving people65. This passage tells us _.A. how photography was developedB. how to show your ideas and feelings in picturesC. how to take pictures in the worldD
51、. how to use different cameras（D）Direction: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading, which you do not need.A.Reasons why science fiction are popularB.A recent new development in science fictionC.Writers of the classics of s
52、cience fictionD/Difficulty in keeping ahead of scientific adventureE.The origin of science fictionF.Themes of modern science fiction66.Among the most popular books being written today are those, which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read
53、 by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.67.It is often thought that science is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were of
54、ten concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme that is still often found in modern stories.68.Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books written by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just no
55、w well-known authors, have been translated into many languages.69.Most science fiction writers dont write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human minds; or in imagining future worlds, which
56、are a reflection of the world, which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones.70.In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted t
57、o see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.第二卷V.
