28、mof a great hospital. Quite a small room, it had one window looking out on the world. One of the men, as part of his treatment, was allowed to sit up in bed for an hour in the afternoon-something to do with cleaning the fluid(液体) from his lungs. His bed was next to the window. But the other man had
29、to spend all his time flat on his back. Every afternoon when the man next to the window was propped(撑住) up for his hour, he would pass the time by describing what he could see outside. Clearly the window overlooked a park where there was a lake. There were ducks and swans in the lake, and children c
30、ame to throw them bread and sail model boats. Young lovers walked hand in hand beneath the trees, and there were flowers and stretches of grass, games of softball. And at the back, behind the trees, was a fine view of the city skyline. The man on his back would listen to him describe all of this, en
31、joying every minute. He heard how a child fell into the lake, and how beautiful the girls were in their summer dresses. His friends descriptions made him feel he could almost see what was happening outside. Then one fine afternoon, the thought struck him: Why should the man next to the window have a
32、ll the pleasure of seeing what was going on? Why shouldnt he get the chance? He felt ashamed, but the more he tried not to think like that, the worse he wanted a change. Hed do anything!One night as he stared at the ceiling, the man next to the window suddenly woke up, coughing and choking, his hand
33、s reaching for the button that would bring the nurse running, But the man on his back watched without movingeven when the sound of breathing stopped. In the morning, the nurse found the other man dead, and quietly took his body away. As soon as seemed decent(像样的),the man asked if he could be switche
34、d to the bed next to the window. So they moved him over and make lie there quite comfortable. The minute they left, he propped himself up on one elbow, painfully and laboriously, and looked out the window. It faced a blank wall!61What did the man next to the window do each time he was allowed to sit
35、 up in bed for an hour?AHe would talk about his life and family.BHe would look at what was happening outside.CHe would describe what he could see in the park.DHe would imagine what could be happening outside.62The man on his back “watched without moving” because .Ahe did not want to help the other m

BGeneration Next is usually a powerful unknown.Sometimes called Generation Y, sometimes called the Millennials(千禧代)，this group of 1
38、6-to-25-year-olds live in a world of high-tech advances, increasing racial diversity(种族多样化) and economic growth. And it is a generation expected to affect major social change. “This is us,” said Katie Stroud, 16, from South Carolina, US. “This is how we are. Take it or leave it.” The problem is, the
39、yre proving hard to define(定义).”“This group is unique,” said Ken Shin, a sociology professor at the University of South Cacolina. “They have different values. Theyre more tolerant(宽容的).”Generation Y is expected to do great thingsto move beyond thought to action.“As a generation, they are the stronge
40、st and most intelligent,” said Joyce Fields, a professor at Columbia College in South Carolina.Generation Y has grown up in a digital, instantmessaging(短信交流) age. DVDs, iPods and cellphones are just parts of everyday life for his Internet-surfing generation.“I feel that were very smart,” said Shawn
41、Rumph, 18, of Columbia, S.C. “Look at all the technology we have to help us learn.”Since they have grown up in good times, for Generation Y, success and wealth are almost certain. Their attitude, therefore, shows that theyre optimistic and materialistic, Fields said.Richard Perry, and 18-year-old Un
42、iversity of South Carolina student, agrees that Generation Y is materialistic. “Everybody is into new stuff,” he said.To marketers selling soda, music, clothes and computers, members of Generation Y look like human dollar sighs.With a “buy now, pay later” mentality(思维模式),this group is assaulted(攻击)
43、with Web ads and TV commercials aimed at getting them to part with their and their parents money.Despite the insistence on having modern day conveniences, in many ways Generation Y is traditional, experts say. Getting an education and having a family are important.Besides, some Generation Y members
44、say they are comfortable with racial diversity and expect discrimination to disappear.Elizabeth Pope, 16, of South Carolina, said Generation Y probably will elect the first female or minority-race president.In any case, Fields is confident in Generation Y. “I think were in good hands.”65Which is the
45、 best title for the passage?AInformation Age.BA Future Generation.CComparison of Two Generations.DTech Generation.66From the passage we can conclude the writers attitude toward Generation Y is .AObjective.BOptimisticCActive.DPassive.67What can we infer from the passage?AGeneration Y is often praised
46、 for racial discrimination by social experts.BGeneration Y tends to follow traditional life style and start their own business.CGeneration Y often has troubles with old generation because of different values.DGeneration Y values a family life in a modern society.68According to the passage Professor
47、Joyce Fields has confidence in Generation Y because .Athey live comfortably with racial diversity and expect discrimination to disappear.Bthey look like human dollar signs and their success and wealth are almost certain in good timesCthey show their wisdom, power and affect major social change in a
48、high-tech worldDthey have all the modern technology to help them and become more and more cleverCMost of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors (统治者)and generals and soldiers, while the people who really helped civilization forward are often ne
49、ver mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured (施肥)a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much that on all the highest pillars (纪念柱)in the great
50、cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are
51、 not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages（野蛮人）; so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently this, after al
52、l, is what conquerors and generals have done is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes(争端) other than by seeing which side can kill off greater number of the other side, and the
53、n saying that the side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that power is right.This is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two
54、 greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated (disabled). And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life na
55、tions and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages. 69In the opening sentence, the author indicates that .Amost history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiers.Bhistory book tell us far more about conquerors, generals and soldiers than actual creators o
56、f civilizationCthose who rally helped human civilization forward is not mentioned in history books at allDconquerors, generals and soldiers should be least mentioned in history books.70According to the passage, most people believe that the greatest countries are those that .Abuilt the highest pillar
57、s for their conquerorsBwere ruled by the greatest number of conquerorsCwon the greatest number of battles against other countriesDwere beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countries 71In the authors opinion, the countries that conquered a large number of other countries are .Acertainly b
58、oth the most powerful and most civilized.Bneither the greatest nor the most civilized in any way.Cpossibly either the most civilized or the most powerful in a way.Dlikely the most powerful in some sense but not the most civilized.72The meaning of the last sentence in Paragraph 2 is that .Afighters b
59、elieve that the winner is right and the loser wrong.Bonly those who are powerful have the right to go to war.Cthose who are right should fight against those who are wrong.Donly powerful nations might win the right to rule weak ones.DTwo years ago this month, Doubleday published a historical thriller
60、 with an announced first printing of 85,000 and high hopes that a little-known writer named Dan Brown would catch on with the general public.We surely expected to have a huge success, but I dont think anyone dreamed it would become a historic publication, says Stephen Rubin, president and publisher
61、of the Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group.If the Harry Potter books stand as the essential popular read for young people, then The Da Vinci Code has captured the crown for grown-ups. The moment it came out, the book remains high on best-seller lists even as it begins its third year since publicatio
62、n. Publishers and booksellers say Browns novel has worked by combining narrative excitement and disputed-historical details.Twenty-five million books, in 44 languages, are in print worldwide and no end is in sight. Booksellers expect The Da Vinci Code to remain a best-seller well into 2005. A planne
63、d film version by Oscar-winning director Ron Howard should bring in even more readers. And at a time when consumers are supposedly minding their budgets, sales for the $24.95 hardcover have been so good that Doubleday still has set no date for a paperback .Its been our No. 1 fiction book for two yea
64、rs in a row, and I cant remember another time that happened, said Bob Wietrak, vice president of merchandising for Barnes & Noble Inc. People come into our store all the time and ask for it or ask for books that are like it.Thanks to The Da Vinci Code, about the only books that seem able to keep up
65、are Browns previous novels. Deception Point, first released in 2001, now has 3.7 million copies in print, according to Simon & Schuster, Browns previous publisher. Angels and Demons, published in 2000 and featuring (由主演)Da Vinci protagonist（主角） Robert Langdon, has more than 8 million copies in print
66、.The great success of The Da Vinci Code has been helped by wide access, with the book on sale everywhere from Wal-Mart to airports to supermarkets, often proving more popular than the mass market paperbacks available at the same outlets.（销路）73What the publisher Stephen Rubin said in Paragraph 2 impl

71、)could become a reality with dinosaurs making a comeback after a discovery last week. Scientists found remains of a dinosaur,s blood vessels（血管）and cells .In theory, DNA from these cells could be used to clone the longdead dinosaur.A team from North Carolina State University found the remains in a f
72、ossil(化石)of the leg bone of a Tyrannosaurus rex（暴龙）in Montana,US.The last dinosaurs on Earth died some 65 million years ago, but they left bits of themselves behind wherever they lived.Around the world ,dug-up bones and fossils have given scientists many ideas about what the animals were like.Preser
73、ved by minerals, the newly discovered leg bone was hard. So the scientists used a liquid to dissolve（溶解）the minerals. A week later, the remaining material was soft and stretchy（有弹性的）,which surprised the researchers.Some of the materials appeared to be a network of blood vessels. Out of these, the re
74、searchers were able to squeeze(挤出)tiny , round, dark-red and deep-brown sturctures that seemed to be ancient blood cells. Scientists are overjoyed by this discovery because most fossils come from hard body parts, like bones and shells, which last a long time.Soft tissues, like skin, muscle, and orga
75、ns are very hard to find because they tend to break down more quickly.Scientists think that the new discovery will help them to better understand how fossils form. Future finds should also help flesh out how the dinosaurs lived.They were also very excited by the possibility of having some dinosaur D
