When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the 36 side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 37 in good health, or 38 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 39 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 40 the title. Therefore, the scissors(剪刀) would 41 before they start, 42 halfway done when I find out the 43 result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 44 .You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be 45 up. But you know the future is unpredictable(不可预料)—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 46 .Thus you are 47 in a difficult position and feel sad. How 48 that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 49 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.
In fact that is what 50 is like: we are often 51 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only 52 we get into another. The 53 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I 54 remember a philosopher’s remarks:“When one door shuts, another opens in life.”So a casual(不经意) 55 may not be a bad one.
36. A. front B. same C. either D. opposite
37. A. get B. keep C. lead D. bring

If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like“Shakespeare”,“Samuel Johnson”and“Webster”,but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English—William the Conqueror.
Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.
But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction(区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some food, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.
When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more“foreign”than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man’s ambition.
59. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were __________ .
A. Welsh and Scottish B. Nordic and Germanic
C. Celtic and Old English D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic
60. Which of the following groups of words are, by inference; rooted in French?
A. President; lawyer; beef. B. President; bread; water.
C. Bread; field; sheep. D. Folk; field; cow.
61. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?
A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.
B. They know little of the history of the English language.
C. Many French words are similar to English ones.
D. They know French better than German.
62. What is the subject discussed in the text?
A. The history of Great Britain.
B. The similarity between English and French.
C. The rule of England by William the Conqueror.
D. The French influences on the English language.
C
We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of the fish, which is called“salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster（龙虾）. Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.
So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.
63. Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to __________ .
A. give birth B. enjoy warmer weather
C. find food more easily D. find beautiful places
64. The fish called “salmon”spends a long life in __________ .
A. salt water B. rivers C. fresh water D. its birthplace
65. The mice in northern Europe move when __________ .
A. they give birth B. the weather is bad
C. the place gets too crowded D. they haven’t enough food
66. The lobsters move __________ .
A. to the fresh water B. to the sea floor
C. at a certain time D. to find more food
67. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Animals move in order to find food more easily.
B. The migration of the fish called“salmon”is the most famous migration.
C. Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.
D. Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but
sometimes we don’t.

Strange stones of Costa Rica
哥斯达黎加的石球究竟是不是人类的杰作？
One of the strangest mysteries in archaeology (考古学) was discovered in the Diquis River delta, in southern Costa Rica. Since the 1930s, hundreds of stone balls have been found. They range in size from a few centimetres to over two metres.
Who made these perfect spheres (球体) and how they made them remains a mystery. Some researchers believe the stones were made by extreme heating followed by cooling. People could have polished the spheres with sand or leather. The ancient Costa Ricans had no written language so there is no written record of just how they made the spheres.
Almost all are made of granite (花岗岩), a hard stone created by volcanoes (火山). The granite quarries (采石场) were 25 to 30 miles away from the largest stones, which weigh more than 10 tons each. Nobody knows how people moved them.
Many of the stones have been found near the remains of houses or graves (坟墓). Some believed that the stones contained hidden treasures and a few have been smashed (打碎) but nothing has been found inside. Despite these losses, the National museum of Costa Rica has recorded 130 spheres. However, many stones are not included because they have been removed from their original sites and used as ornaments (装饰) in homes, gardens and churches. Clearly, there are also many stones that lie undiscovered.
68. The stones were discovered ________
A. near the volcanoes B. in the south Costa Rica
C. in a grave D. churches
69. The passage mainly tells us________.
A. the stones are of great value B. the stones proved to be made by non-humans
C. the stones are a mystery D. the stones are ornaments
70. The writer ___________in this passage.
A. admires the spheres very much. B. doesn’t believe the spheres were once made by humans
C. tells us of a discovery D. describes the spheres nicely
71. The underlined word “polished” refers to _______.
A. buried B. wrapped C. made shining D. made big

It’s 2035. You have a job, a family and you’re about 40 years old. Welcome to your future life.
Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronic are rearranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You’re not even middle-aged.
As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear: “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies.
“Ready for your trip to space. You ask your son and daughter.” In 2005 only specially trained astronauts went into space.— and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advices, vaccination shots are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door.
It’s time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot,” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it.
72. What changes the color of your shirt?
A. The mirror. B. The shirt itself. C. The counter. D. The medicine.
73. How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal?
A. By pouring the breakfast into a bowl. B. By listening to the doctor’s advice.
C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen. D. By checking the nutrition details of the food.
74. The strawberries the children eat serve as ______.
A. breakfast B. lunch C. vaccines D. nutrition
75. How is the text organized?
A. In order of time B. In order of frequency.
C. In order of preference. D. In order of importance.

A Headache for Patients
Now there are hospitals of various sizes in all corners of the country. When people are in hospital, they are charged a lot of money, which they can hardly afford. Also they cannot enjoy good medical care. As many people have unpleasant experiences in the hospital, they are not willing to go there. Instead they simply get medicine from nearby drug stores. Many only go to the hospital when their illnesses are too serious to be dealt by themselves. However, the price of medicine is also too high for the patients. So measures are being taken by the government to cut medicine prices and improve medical services.

(Text 10)
Water is very important to us. We can’t live without drinking water. Sometimes, however, we do not have all the water that we need. Sometimes, there can be too much water in the land. If it rain very, very hard, the rain water will run down the hills. It takes some of the land with it down the hills.
Water on the earth will never be used up. It goes from the ocean to the air to make clouds. Then, it falls from the clouds down to the land. It runs off the land and out of the ocean again. The clouds in the air are made of water. Sometimes the water falls down from the clouds. It makes rain. The rain falls onto the land. Some of it goes into the ground. Some of it washes down and goes back into the ocean.
