The cityis furtheraway from easternromanticism (浪漫主义）than any other in Morocco，and Casablanca is a modem city and beautiful in its own aspect.Colony(殖民地）WhiteA walk around Casablanca will decide clearly that Casablanc
10、a was the place that the French colonial government gave most attention and money. The buildings are of a French version (版本）of Arabo-Andalucian architecture，white with soft lines，and often plenty of details.The area to explore is south of Avenue des Forces Arms Royales ，but of special interest is t
11、he Place des Nations Unies，which has the largest structures.Town MarketRight in fromthe longBoulevard Muhammad 5, you will find the Marche Central of Casablanca. The place is a small but high-quality version of the traditional suuqs of Morocco, and everything is aiming at the needs of the locals.The
12、 Marche Central has vegetables，meat，all kinds of sea food，as well as handicrafts (手工艺品）.Turtle soup should therefore be an option for those visiting Casablanca.Old CityThe old city of Casablanca is conveniently located just off the main town square from where roads lead to all directions, and off th

15、erm is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers( Letters to the Editor) praised the cancellation of exams because they believe “tests dont tell the whole story.”As a teacher who has worked for many years, I have had the experience that a student w
16、ho earns good marks is generally a good student, and that a students final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the years work. Of course there are exceptions , but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a students ability. The simple fact is that proper class
17、 work , hard-working exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a students future performance. The opposite , almost certainly , unfitness. There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student h
18、as learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student word for it? Any organization that sets students free from fair and formal exams is misguided. And surely the “graduates” of such organisations will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being refused by foreign universities for graduate or
19、 other studies.When allis said and done , I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is the basic reason for most ban-exams talk.Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary , they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.24.Whats the
20、 purpose of the two writers mentioned in the firstparagraph?A. To fight against judging students by the results of exams.B. To come up with other ways of testing students.C. To determine exams as a way of punishing students.D. To express worries about the poor marks of their students.25.What would h
21、appen if a studentgraduated from an organisationwithout exams?A.He would have a chance to continue his studies.B.He would have a feeling of failure.C.He would be more competitive.D.He wouldnt be admitted by foreign universities.26.What are those who dislike the idea of examinations probably afraid o
22、f?A. Competing with other students.B. Being graded unfairly.C. Working too hard.D. Being punished by school.27.What does the underlined word “ substitute” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Strength.B. Association.C. Replacement.D. Correction.CTo call someone bird-brained in English means you think that person
23、is silly or stupid.But will this description soon disappear from use in the recent research? It seems English may have been unfair in association birds brains with stupidity.In an attempt to find out how different creatures see the world，psychologists at Brown University in the USA have been compari
24、ng thebehaviour of birds and humans. One experiment has involved teaching pigeons to recognize letters of the English alphabet. The birds study in “classrooms”，which are boxes equipped with a computer. After about four days of studying a particular letter, the pigeon has to pick out that letter from
25、 several displayed on the computer screen. Three male pigeons have learned to distinguish all twenty-six letters of the alphabet in this way.A computer record of the birds7 four-month study period has shown surprising similarities between the pigeons and human performance. Pigeons and people find th
26、e same letters easy, or hard，to tell apart. For example, 92 percent of the time the pigeons could tell the letter D from the letter Z. But when faced with U and V ( often confused by English children)，the pigeons were right only 34 percent of the time.The results of the experiments so far have led p
27、sychologists(心理学家）to conclude that pigeons and humans observe things in similar ways. This suggests that there is something basic about the recognition process. If scientists could only discover just what this recognition process is, it could be very useful for computer designers. The disadvantage o
28、f a present computer is that it can only do what a human being has programmed it to do and the programmer must give the computer precise，logical instructions. Maybe in the future，though，computers will be able to think like human beings.28.Why does thewriter suggest theexpression “bird-brained” might
29、be out of use?A.It is silly.B.It is impolite.C.It is unnecessary.D.It is inappropriate.29.According to the experiment, who could be confused by U and V?A.92 percent of pigeons.B.Many English children.C.Most people learningEnglish.D.34 percent of Englishchildren.30.Which can best explainthe similarit
30、ies in observingthings by pigeonsandhumans?A. Pigeons and humans find letters equally fast.B. Pig eons have brains more developed than other birds.C. Their basic ways to know the world are the same.D. Pigeons and humans have similar brains.31.Who can benefit from the research?A.Computer designers.B.
31、Computer salesmen.C.Psychologists.D.Teachers.DFaces, like fingerprints,are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people?Even a skilledwriter probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal,
32、such as a dolphin can learn to recognize faces.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someones personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks , thinks and feels make thatperson different from others.Likethe human face ,human personality is very complex. But d
33、escribing someones personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describea “nice person” , you might begin to think about someone who was kind
34、 , considerate , friendly , warm and so on.There are many words to describe how a person thinks , feels and acts. Gordon Allport , an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in peoples behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing
35、 or typing his personality.People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama (戏剧）wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain (坏人）or the heros role. In fact , the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin , meaning “mask” . Today , most televisi
36、on and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the “ good guys” from the “bad guy” because the two types differ in appearance as well as behaviors.32.Why does the author mention the fingerprints in Paragraph 1 ?A. To make people learn to recognize faces.B. To show people have differen
37、t personalities.C. To describe the features of fingerprints.D. To explain people differ in facial features.33.Who most probably knows how to describe peoples personality best?A. The ancient Greek audience.B. The movie actors.C. Psychologists.D. The modern TV audience.34.Why can we tell one type of p
38、erson from another?A. People differ in behavioral and physical characteristics.B. Human fingerprints provide unique information.C. Peoples behavior can be easily described in words.D. Human faces have complex features.35.Which ofthe followingis the major pointof the passage?A.Why is it necessary to
39、identify peoples personality?B.Why is it possible to describe people?C.How to get to know people?D.How to recognize people best?第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。In less than two years, you will go to different universities and lead a new life.
