Venice, one of the cities in Italy, was founded in A.D.811 by the people of Malamocco, fleeing（逃跑）from the Franks. It was said that they were guided by pigeons carrying little crosses, and settled where now Venice lies.
Venice is built on 117 islands. It has 150 canals and 400 bridges. The narrow streets, with their historic names, are covered with stones, but have no footpaths. They are dotted with flowershop signs and lanterns. Shops and palaces stand by side. The brick bridges are high enough to allow boats to pass freely under them.
The center of public life is St. Mark’s S quare where tourists and citizens sit in the famous Florian and Quadri cafes to listen to music, enjoying themselves. The Quadri is more popular but the Florian, founded in 1720, is the best-known cafe because it has received such great persons as Byron (an English poet) and Goethe (a German poet).
Unfortunately the special position of Venice is threatening（威胁）its own existence. The terrain（地势）on which it is built began to sink while the level of the surrounding waters is constantly rising. However, many measures have already been taken to prevent the city from sinking.
56．In the second paragraph, the author _______.

Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of alisorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.
When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “Look at weak places in your armour（盔甲）”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand, it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of fumiture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to collect a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range（范围）of learning, like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose, and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities（品质）of the cultured（有修养的）man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.
60．The writer thinks that one must _______.
A．read as many books as he can
B．try to read books on all the different subjects
C．only read books on subjects that interest him
D．read and absorb a lot
61．A cultured man is similar to a camel because ________.
A．neither of them is interested in knowledge
B．the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass
C．neither of them can be considered wise
D．both of them have the ability to select
62．The term “mental food” (last line) refers to _______.
A．books B．grassland C．brain D．subjects
63．In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses ________.
A．how to compare furniture with books
B．how to select reading materials
C．how to avoid missing anything interesting in the library
D．why books must be absorbed
C
PUBLIC SPIRIT
Each nation has its own peculiar（特有）character which distinguishes if from others. But the peoples of the world have more points in which they are all like each other than points in which they are different. One type of person that is common in every country is the one who always tries to do as little as he can and to get as much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than what is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return, is rare everywhere.
Both these types are usually unconscious of their character. The man who avoids effort is always talking about his “rights”: he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant, easy life. The man who is always doing more than his share talks of “duties”: he feels that the individual is in debt to society, and not society to the individual. As a result of their views, neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely.
The men who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses: if he was neglected to do something, it was because he had a headache, or the weather was too hot or too cold or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first, other people, such as his friends and his employer, generously accept his stories; but soon they realize what kind of person he is. In the long run he deceives only himself. When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurt. He blames everyone and everything except himself. He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him, and that he is being unjustly treated. He soon becomes one of the discontented（另人不满）members of the society he lives in.
His public spirited opposite is never too busy to take on an extra piece of work; that is the strongest thing about the whole business. If you want something done in a hurry, don’t go to the man who has clearly not much to do. He will probably have a dozen excellent excuses for not being able to help you, much as he claims he would like to. Go to the busiest man you know, particularly if you are sure that he has not a spare minute in the week. If your work is really important, he will make time for it.
64．Which of the following characters is common to most people of the world according to the author
A．Thrifty(节俭的). B．Hard-working. C．Selfish. D．Selfless.
65．The man who is always talking about his “rights” seems to think that ________.
A．society is in debt to him B．the individual owes something to society
C．both types of people behave strangely D．everyone should live a happy life
66．The passage suggests that the man who tries to avoid effort ________.
A．often falls ill B．can’t stand bad weather
C．often has bad luck D．always excuses himself
67．As it is used in the third paragraph, “in the long run” means _________.
A．in the end B．for a long time
C．after running a long distance D．step by step
D
The Atlantic Ocean is one of the oceans that separate the Old World from the New. For centuries it kept the Americans from being discovered by the people of Europe.
Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into it. One idea was that it reached out to “the edge of the world.” Sailors were afraid that they might sail right off the earth. Another idea was that at the equator（赤道）the ocean would be boiling hot.
The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 miles (6,000km) wide where Columbus crossed it. Even at its narrowest it is about 2,000 miles (3,200km) wide.
Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. Also, it is the world’s saltiest ocean.
There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by rivers. It would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up. On the average the water is a little more than two miles (3.2km) deep, but in places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is near Puerto Rico. This “deep” measures 30,246 feet-almost six miles (9.6km).
One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. This mountain range runs north and south down the middle of the ocean. The tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands.
Several hundred miles eastward from Florida there is a part of the ocean called the Sargasso Sea. Here the water is quiet, for there is little wind. In the days of sailing vessels（船）the crew were afraid they would be becalmed（停滞不前）here. Sometimes they were.
Today the Atlantic is a great highway. It is not, however, always a smooth and safe one. Storms sweep across it and pile up great waves. Icebergs（冰山）float down from the Far North across the paths of ships.
We now have such fast ways of traveling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller. Columbus sailed for more than two months to cross it. A fast modern steamship can make the trip in less than four days. Airplanes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from south America to Africa in four!
68．Which world is the Old World
A．Africa. B．Europe. C．Asia. D．All of the three above.
69．What caused people to be unwilling to explore the Atlantic
A．There are no ships big enough to get across the Ocean.
B．Sailors were afraid of being lost in the Ocean.
C．The Atlantic Ocean was very unusual because it has few islands and the saltiest water.
D．Many incorrect ideas such as “the edge of the world.” “the equator with boiling hot water,”, made people think the Ocean was full of danger.
70．What is the topic of the fifth paragraph
A．How deep the water is.
B．How to measure the water in the Atlantic Ocean.
C．How much water the Ocean holds.
D．How rain affects the Ocean water.
71．We can learn from the text that ________.
A．the Atlantic is the largest ocean on earth
B．one of the longest mountain ranges lies in the Atlantic
C．the Atlantic has a lot of islands in it
D．sailing on the Atlantic Ocean is always quiet, smooth and safe
E
The INFLUENCE OF TELEVISION
Those who doubt TV’s influence on our lives might consider the effect of automobile on American society. When the automobile first appeared on the highways, most Americans saw it as a horseless carriage, not as an important symbol of a new way of life. Similarly, those of us who grew up before television tend to think of it as just another medium in a series of 20th-century mass-communication systems, such as movies and radio. But television is not just another medium.
If you were born before 1950, television came into your life after your formative years. Even if you are now a TV fan, it will be difficult for you to understand the changes it has brought. For example, imagine spending six hours a day at the local cinema when you were 12 years old. No parent would have allowed it. Yet, among the children we asked, nearly half the 12-year-olds watch an average of six or more hours of television per day. For many of them the habit continues into adulthood（成年）. From our surveys（调查）,we estimate（估计）that about one third of all American adults（成年人）watch an average of four more hours of television per day.
None of us is totally dependent upon television for our view of the world. However, many of us have not had the opportunity to observe the reality of police station, courtrooms（法庭）, corporate board rooms（法人会议室）; or hospital operating rooms. Critics（评论家）complain about the stercotyped（不变的）characters and plots of TV dreams. But many viewers look on them as representative（代表）of the real world.
If adults can so easily accept the reality of television, imagine: its effect on children. By the time the average American child reaches public school, he has already spent several years in an electronic nursery school. At the age of 10, the average child spend more hours a week in front of the TV screen than in the classroom. Given continuous exposure（暴露）to the world of TV, it’s not surprising that the children we tested seemed to be more strongly influenced by TV than the adults.
At the other end of the life cycle, television becomes the steady and often the only companion of the elderly. As failing eyesight makes reading difficult, and getting around becomes it problem, many old people spend much of the day watching TV. Here the action of fictional drama helps make up for the inaction of their lives.
72．The author suggested television be thought of as _________.
A．a new medium B．a symbol of a new way of life
C．an electronic nursery school D．nothing new just as the automobile
73．Television exerts strong influence upon people’s view of the world because _______.
A．many people spend much time watching TV
B．people usually regard TV dramas as the real world
C．the plots of TV dramas are very complicated
D．many viewers think that TV dramas reflect the real world
74． “An electronic nursery school” in the 4th paragraph refers to ______.
A．a special medical school B．television
C．a place where babies are cared for D．a very modern training center
75．Implied but not stated ________.
A．Many old people don’t like reading
B．The adults are also influenced by TV
C．TV has its advantages and disadvantages
D．TV is a steady companion for the elderly

Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of alisorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.
When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “Look at weak places in your armour（盔甲）”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand, it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of fumiture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to collect a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range（范围）of learning, like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose, and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities（品质）of the cultured（有修养的）man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.
60．The writer thinks that one must _______.
A．read as many books as he can
B．try to read books on all the different subjects
C．only read books on subjects that interest him
D．read and absorb a lot
61．A cultured man is similar to a camel because ________.
A．neither of them is interested in knowledge
B．the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass
C．neither of them can be considered wise
D．both of them have the ability to select
62．The term “mental food” (last line) refers to _______.
A．books B．grassland C．brain D．subjects
63．In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses ________.
A．how to compare furniture with books
B．how to select reading materials
C．how to avoid missing anything interesting in the library
D．why books must be absorbed
C
PUBLIC SPIRIT
Each nation has its own peculiar（特有）character which distinguishes if from others. But the peoples of the world have more points in which they are all like each other than points in which they are different. One type of person that is common in every country is the one who always tries to do as little as he can and to get as much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than what is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return, is rare everywhere.
Both these types are usually unconscious of their character. The man who avoids effort is always talking about his “rights”: he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant, easy life. The man who is always doing more than his share talks of “duties”: he feels that the individual is in debt to society, and not society to the individual. As a result of their views, neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely.
The men who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses: if he was neglected to do something, it was because he had a headache, or the weather was too hot or too cold or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first, other people, such as his friends and his employer, generously accept his stories; but soon they realize what kind of person he is. In the long run he deceives only himself. When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurt. He blames everyone and everything except himself. He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him, and that he is being unjustly treated. He soon becomes one of the discontented（另人不满）members of the society he lives in.
His public spirited opposite is never too busy to take on an extra piece of work; that is the strongest thing about the whole business. If you want something done in a hurry, don’t go to the man who has clearly not much to do. He will probably have a dozen excellent excuses for not being able to help you, much as he claims he would like to. Go to the busiest man you know, particularly if you are sure that he has not a spare minute in the week. If your work is really important, he will make time for it.
64．Which of the following characters is common to most people of the world according to the author
A．Thrifty(节俭的). B．Hard-working. C．Selfish. D．Selfless.
65．The man who is always talking about his “rights” seems to think that ________.
A．society is in debt to him B．the individual owes something to society
C．both types of people behave strangely D．everyone should live a happy life
66．The passage suggests that the man who tries to avoid effort ________.
A．often falls ill B．can’t stand bad weather
C．often has bad luck D．always excuses himself
67．As it is used in the third paragraph, “in the long run” means _________.
A．in the end B．for a long time
C．after running a long distance D．step by step

The Atlantic Ocean is one of the oceans that separate the Old World from the New. For centuries it kept the Americans from being discovered by the people of Europe.
Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into it. One idea was that it reached out to “the edge of the world.” Sailors were afraid that they might sail right off the earth. Another idea was that at the equator（赤道）the ocean would be boiling hot.
The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 miles (6,000km) wide where Columbus crossed it. Even at its narrowest it is about 2,000 miles (3,200km) wide.
Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. Also, it is the world’s saltiest ocean.
There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by rivers. It would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up. On the average the water is a little more than two miles (3.2km) deep, but in places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is near Puerto Rico. This “deep” measures 30,246 feet-almost six miles (9.6km).
One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. This mountain range runs north and south down the middle of the ocean. The tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands.
Several hundred miles eastward from Florida there is a part of the ocean called the Sargasso Sea. Here the water is quiet, for there is little wind. In the days of sailing vessels（船）the crew were afraid they would be becalmed（停滞不前）here. Sometimes they were.
Today the Atlantic is a great highway. It is not, however, always a smooth and safe one. Storms sweep across it and pile up great waves. Icebergs（冰山）float down from the Far North across the paths of ships.
We now have such fast ways of traveling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller. Columbus sailed for more than two months to cross it. A fast modern steamship can make the trip in less than four days. Airplanes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from south America to Africa in four!
68．Which world is the Old World
A．Africa. B．Europe. C．Asia. D．All of the three above.
69．What caused people to be unwilling to explore the Atlantic
A．There are no ships big enough to get across the Ocean.
B．Sailors were afraid of being lost in the Ocean.
C．The Atlantic Ocean was very unusual because it has few islands and the saltiest water.
D．Many incorrect ideas such as “the edge of the world.” “the equator with boiling hot water,”, made people think the Ocean was full of danger.
70．What is the topic of the fifth paragraph
A．How deep the water is.
B．How to measure the water in the Atlantic Ocean.
C．How much water the Ocean holds.
D．How rain affects the Ocean water.
71．We can learn from the text that ________.
A．the Atlantic is the largest ocean on earth
B．one of the longest mountain ranges lies in the Atlantic
C．the Atlantic has a lot of islands in it
D．sailing on the Atlantic Ocean is always quiet, smooth and safe

The INFLUENCE OF TELEVISION
Those who doubt TV’s influence on our lives might consider the effect of automobile on American society. When the automobile first appeared on the highways, most Americans saw it as a horseless carriage, not as an important symbol of a new way of life. Similarly, those of us who grew up before television tend to think of it as just another medium in a series of 20th-century mass-communication systems, such as movies and radio. But television is not just another medium.
If you were born before 1950, television came into your life after your formative years. Even if you are now a TV fan, it will be difficult for you to understand the changes it has brought. For example, imagine spending six hours a day at the local cinema when you were 12 years old. No parent would have allowed it. Yet, among the children we asked, nearly half the 12-year-olds watch an average of six or more hours of television per day. For many of them the habit continues into adulthood（成年）. From our surveys（调查）,we estimate（估计）that about one third of all American adults（成年人）watch an average of four more hours of television per day.
None of us is totally dependent upon television for our view of the world. However, many of us have not had the opportunity to observe the reality of police station, courtrooms（法庭）, corporate board rooms（法人会议室）; or hospital operating rooms. Critics（评论家）complain about the stercotyped（不变的）characters and plots of TV dreams. But many viewers look on them as representative（代表）of the real world.
If adults can so easily accept the reality of television, imagine: its effect on children. By the time the average American child reaches public school, he has already spent several years in an electronic nursery school. At the age of 10, the average child spend more hours a week in front of the TV screen than in the classroom. Given continuous exposure（暴露）to the world of TV, it’s not surprising that the children we tested seemed to be more strongly influenced by TV than the adults.
At the other end of the life cycle, television becomes the steady and often the only companion of the elderly. As failing eyesight makes reading difficult, and getting around becomes it problem, many old people spend much of the day watching TV. Here the action of fictional drama helps make up for the inaction of their lives.
72．The author suggested television be thought of as _________.
A．a new medium B．a symbol of a new way of life
C．an electronic nursery school D．nothing new just as the automobile
73．Television exerts strong influence upon people’s view of the world because _______.
A．many people spend much time watching TV
B．people usually regard TV dramas as the real world
C．the plots of TV dramas are very complicated
D．many viewers think that TV dramas reflect the real world
74． “An electronic nursery school” in the 4th paragraph refers to ______.
A．a special medical school B．television
C．a place where babies are cared for D．a very modern training center
75．Implied but not stated ________.
A．Many old people don’t like reading
B．The adults are also influenced by TV
C．TV has its advantages and disadvantages
D．TV is a steady companion for the elderly

Dear Bill,
I’m very happy to know you’ll come and study in our school. It’s a pleasure for me to give you some introduction.
Our school is a beautiful garden school. When you enter the school gate, you will see a main road leading straight to the teaching building in the middle of our school. On each side of the road there is a flowerbed, where different kinds of flowers are in bloom. On your left, behind the flowerbed is the lab building. It is there that we do all kinds of experiments. The office building is on the other side. Behind the teaching building is a playground, to the west of which there is a swimming pool. We have also planted a lot of trees in our school. Now they are growing very well.
Our school is really a beautiful one.
Welcome to our school! Hope to see you soon.
