Archery (射箭) may be the oldest sport in the world. There are pre – historic drawings which show that bows and arrows were used 20 000 years ago. In early times, animals were always hunted and killed with bows and arrows. Good archers were very important when country fought against country. One of the most famous legends (传奇，传奇故事) in European history is the story of William Tell. He was a Swiss who refused to work for an Austrian, and was ordered to shoot and apple on the head of his son. He hit the apple, and then shot the Austrian. Switzerland has been free since then, so the story goes.
Archers shoot at targets at 30, 50, 70 or 90 meters’ distance from them. The targets are round 80 centimeters across, and have 5 circles painted round the center. Bows are made of steel, wood and strong plastic, and arrows of wood. The sport is enjoyed in the open sir in summer and in a building in winter. Archery is good for the chest, the arms and the back. Men and women can shoot together since being strong is not so important. Women usually use lighter bows. People who can’t walk or who have been ill can also enjoy it. For Zen Buddhists (佛教徒) archery is not only a sport but also something deeper. It helps the individuals to understand themselves and the meaning of life.

A good teacher is many things to many people. In my own experience, the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded the most discipline (纪律) from their students.
I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very clearly a sign on her classroom door. It was a simple sign that said, “Laboratory : in this room the first five letters of the word was stressed not the last seven.” In other words, labor for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.
She prepared her work very carefully and told us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced, but it continued just the same. She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.
I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit the students.
69. Which of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer?
A. A patient teacher. B. An honest teacher.
C. A strict teacher. D. An easy – going teacher.
70. The teacher put up the sign on her classroom door .
A. to remind the students that this room was a laboratory
B. to advise the students to follow the disciplines
C. to warn the students not to be careless
D. to tell the students to work hard in the classroom
71. When the teacher’s arm was broken, she .
A. gave her students the usual amount of homework
B. gave her students less homework
C. asked her students to check the homework themselves
D. gave her students more homework
72. What’s the writer’s opinion of discipline?
A. It makes the students dislike their teachers.
B. It does good to the students in the long run.
C. It’s too much for young children.
D. It does more harm than good to the students.
73. What’s the Chinese for the underlined word “oratory”?
A. 演讲 B. 讲稿 C. 访谈 D. 采访

The Mississippi is a dreamy river whose relationship with man goes back beyond its discovery by the Spaniards in the 16th century. Indians used the river as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name – “misi”, meaning “great” and “sipi” meaning “water”.
When the length of the great Missouri is added to it, the Mississippi becomes the third longest river in the world. From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2,480 miles long. Its head waters have been compared to a healthy, thick – branched tree, healthy because its main branches are possible to make voyage for most of their length.
The Indians went up and down the river in their canoes. The first streamer was launched in 1810. It had a single great paddle – wheel at the stern, and was known as a “paddle – wheeler.” Throughout the 19th century these unique ships were queens of the Mississippi. They have become part of American history and American literature. The noted writer, Mark Twain, wrote about the river in his greatest novel, Huckleberry Finn, and Oscar Hammerstein sang praise of it in his song, Old Man River, which was made popular all over the world by the great black American singer and actor, Paul Robeson.
78. The Mississippi was discovered by the .
A. Americans B. Indians C. Spaniards D. Queens
79. Because most of the Mississippi’s length can be navigated, it has been compared to a .

Lydia intended to walk to Meryton that morning, and every sister except Mary, who preferred to read, agreed to go with her.
When they entered Meryton, the attention of the sisters was drawn by the crowds of people. Their eyes were immediately looking about the street in search of the officers.
But the attention of every lady was soon caught by a young man whom they had never seen before. He was of a most handsome appearance and was walking with an officer on the other side of the road. All were struck with the stranger’s manners. Kitty and Lydia knew the officer, and determined if possible to find out whom his friends was. They led the way across the street, pretending to see something in a shop opposite, and had reached the pathway when the two gentlemen arrived at the same place. Mr. Denny, the officer, greeted them directly and begged permission to introduce his friend, Mr. Wickham, who had just joined the army.
