The Dear Old Lady—that is what the people of Pisa call the tower—needs
help.
Three million people visit Pisa each year. That’s a lot of people. Why do they
come to this town
36 ? To see a tower. A look at the picture will 37 you why. The crazy tower leans! It
is known to us all as the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The tower looks as if it might __38_at any
time. In fact, some visitors stop at the tower just long enough to take a
picture. Then they hurry away. 39 visitors climb the 294 steps to the top
and come down, 40 heroes.
Engineers say that the visitors are 41 —at least for a while. But the tower does
lean. It leans aside 14 feet 10 inches at the present time. The tower has
leaned for 800 years. And every year it leans a big more. If this 42 on, the tower will fall.
You may wonder what makes the tower lean. If you
look at the picture, you will see that one side of the tower is deeper in the
earth than 43 . The foundation on 44 the tower rests has sunk into the
soil on the leaning side. Why does this happen?
Pisa’s tower 45 14,500 tons. The soil of the town is
a mixture of a clay and sand and water. A heavy tower 46
on soil like this must have a very strong foundation. The leaning
Tower’s foundation is just not deep or wide enough for the tower 47 on it. Can nothing be done about the
tower? No,the Italian 48 have several plans. They don’t want
to make the tower straight—just keep it from leaning any further. So all the
plans call for a new foundation that won’t sink.
But a new foundation can’t be built 49 the tower is resting on the old one.
The tower must be 50 with jacks（千斤顶）. They would be
like jacks we use to raise cars when changing a tyre. Only these jacks would be
giant ones. One plan calls for 15 of them to be placed __51___ the tower. Each
of the giant jacks would be on its own foundation. And each of them could lift
1,000 tons. The 15 jacks would raise the 14,500 ton tower and hold it up while
the new foundation 52 .
The Italian engineers are 53 the best plan to save the tower. They
know that any plan takes a lot of money. They are trying to 54 the money from the Italian
government. But many Italians refuse to believe that the old tower is 55 .“It leans and leans and
leans,” they say, “But it will never fall down.”

第三部分 阅读理解
A
Machines in the
home have a short history. Sewing machines, washing machines and tumble dries
are common enough today, but a hundred years ago few people could even imagine
such things. However, inventors have designed and built a wide range of
household machines since then. In most cases the inventor tried to patent（申请专利）his machine, to
stop anyone copying it. Then he tried to produce a lot of them. If the machine
became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money.
In 1790 the first sewing
machine was patented. The inventor was an Englishman called Thomas Saint. There
was nothing to match his machine for forty years, and then someone built a
similar device. He was a Frenchman, Bartelemy Thimonier. Neither of these early
machines worked very well, however. It wasn’t until 1846 that an inventor came
up with a really efficient sewing machine. He was an American, Elias Howe and
his machine was good enough to beat five skilled sewing women. He didn’t make
much money from it, however. The first commercially successful sewing machine was patented
by Isaac Singer five years later.
Today, we take washing
machines for granted, but there was none before 1869. The revolving drum（旋转桶）of that first
machine set a pattern for the future, but it was crude by today’s
standards. The drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort. Eight years
passed before someone produced an electric washing machine. The world had to
wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes. The first spin-drier was another
American invention, patented in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines
were widely used.
It was yet another
American, called Bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper. He patented the
original machine back in 1876. It didn’t pick up dirt very well, but it was
quicker than a dustpan and brush. Thirty-six years later, even the carpet
sweeper was old-fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner（吸尘器）with an
electric motor to suck the dust.
56. Inventors patent the inventions so as to __________ .
A. produce more machines
B. avoid being copied by others
C. make the inventions more popular D. make
more money
57. Whose sewing machine could do the work that was done by five skilled sewing
women?
A. Thomas Saint’s. B.
Bartelemy Thimonier’s.
C. Isaac Singer’s.
D. Elias Howe’s.
58. According to the article, modern inventors __________ .
A. follow the pattern of the
first revolving drum but improve it much
B. only imitate the first
washing machine
C. power the first ever-made
washing machine by electricity
D. have to wait for the
first spin-drier for a long time
59. The underlined word “crude” in
the sentence “but it was crude by today’s
standards”probably
means __________ .
A. useless B.
ugly-looking C.
rough
D. not skillfully made
60. The article mainly tells us about __________ .
A. the great inventors in
the world
B. the important inventions in the world
C. the short history of household
machines
D. the importance of the
machines used in the home

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 migrationis 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 mice. 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 lobsters（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.

certain time to __________ .
A. give birth B.
enjoy warmer weather

B. the weather is bad
C. the place gets too crowded D. they
haven’t enough food
64. The lobsters move __________ .
A. to the fresh water B. to
the sea floor C. at a certain
time D. to find more food
65. 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.

In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women. Most of them were established in the 19th century; they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accepted only men. In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result some women's colleges decided to accept men students too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again.The president of Trinity College in Washington, D. C. said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a women's college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that in women's college a higher percentage of students studies mathematics than in a college with both men and women .Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a women's college, women feel freer to say what they think.Women's schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere. For example, at a women's college every evening, office is held by a woman. Recent studies reportedly show that American women who went to Women's colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life.

Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which topics are considered taboo in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. Expect questions about your family, and be sure to show pictures of your children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting--and they can cover pretty much or any topic--as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they're trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.As a general rule, it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host's team.
70. The author considers politics and religion __________.
A. cheerful topics B. taboo C. rude topics D. topics that can never be talked about
71. Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?
A. Sports. B. Children. C. Personal feelings. D. Families.
72. Why are people from Asia more private in their conversation with others?
A. They don't want to talk with others much.
B. They don't want to have their good relationship with others harmed by informal conversation.
C. They are afraid to argue with their colleagues.
D. They want to keep their feelings to themselves.

Have you ever imagined what kind of car we will be driving in 2020? It will be rather different from the type we know today, with the next 20 years bringing greater change than the past 50. The people who will be designing the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems may well accelerate(促进，加快) the pace of the car’s development. Today they are students on the transport design course at London’s Royal College of Art.
Their vision of a machine with three wheels instead of four is electrically powered, environmentally clean, and able to drive itself along “intelligent” roads equipped with built-in(内置的) power supplies. Future cars will pick up their fuel during long journeys from a power source built into the road, or store it in small quantities for traveling in the city.
Instead of today’s seating arrangements-two in front, two or three behind, all facing forward-the 2010 car will have a versatile(多方向的) inside with adults and children in a family circle.
This view of the future car is based on a much more sophisticated(复杂的) road system, with strips built into motorways to supply power to vehicles passing along them. Cars will not need drivers, because computers will provide safe driving control and route finding. All the driver will have to do is to say where to go and the computer will do the rest. It will become impossible for cars to crash into one another. The technology already exists for the car to become a true automobile.
73. A future car will use electrical power, because it is .
A. safer B. cheaper C. cleaner D. faster
74. A future car will have all the following features(特点) EXCEPT .
A. being three-wheeled B. running without anyone in it
C. driving along special roads D. with a versatile seating arrangement
75. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Future cars will be completely different from the automobiles we know today.
B. The design of future cars will be more sophisticated.
C. Because of the new type of cars, our future environment will become cleaner.
D. The road system will become more sophisticated than it is today.

We middle school students have many tests or exams. We have both achieved
success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to
failure. Some fall in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams.They often
lose heart and no longer study as hard as before.But most students take an active
attitudes towards failure.They encourage themselves to be self-confident. They find
out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes. I agree
with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success.
Even great men may have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal
with our failure correctly.
