When I was struggling with cancer a few years ago , my wife and I formed our own “couple caution circle” . Anytime a doctor came with news of my progress , my wife would give me a big hug . The reports were seldom good during the early stages of my illness , and one day a doctor brought particularly frightening news . Staring at my reports , he said in a low voice , “It doesn’t look like you’re going to make it.”
Before I could ask him a question , my wife stood up , handed me my clothes , adjusted the tubes fastened to my body and said , “Let’s get out of here .This man is a risk to your health.” As she helped me struggle to the door , the doctor came near us . “Stay back,” demanded my wife . “Stay away from us .”
As we walked together down the hall , the doctor attempted to catch up with us . “Keep going ,” said my wife , pushing the intravenous (静脉注射的) stand . “We’re going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on.” Then she held up her hand to the doctor . “Don’t come any closer to us .”
The two of us moved as one . We escaped to the safety and hope of a doctor who did not confuse diagnosis with conclusion. I could never have made that walk toward wellness alone .

B
In the opinion of many Americans and Europeans , we begin to really explore our world only in the sixteenth century . According to them , the sailors of the ancient world did not explore distant parts of the world ; they did not have the necessary knowledge or skills for long sea journeys . However , the people who have this opinion are forgetting two important facts of history .
First , sometimes early scientists have an idea which is correct , but scientists in later centuries do not believe it . For example , about 270 B. C. a Greek scientist had an idea which we all believe today : The earth moves around the sun . But for the following 1,600 years scientists did not believe this . In their opinion , the sun clearly moved around the earth . They discovered the truth again only in the fifteenth century !
The second fact of history that many people forget is this : Ancient does not mean simple . For example , the ancient Egyptians knew a great deal about the stars ; they used this knowledge to find their way across the oceans . Two thousand years ago a Greek scientist who lived in Egypt calculated the distance around the earth . The results of his calculations were close to the actual distance we know today ! So the ancients had a great deal of scientific knowledge . They also had skills which equaled the skills of today . For example , 1,300 years ago and before , fishermen in Ireland built their boats of wood and leather . Today some fishermen in Ireland still make boats of the same design . They use tools and materials which are not very different from the tools and materials which their ancestors used . Why The ancient design of the boats is good , and with skillful sailors , these boats can sail in all kinds of weather .
Clearly , long before the sixteenth century , people had the skills , the knowledge , and the equipment which were necessary for long journeys by sea . The world did not have to wait until the sixteenth century for its first explorers !
60.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A.According to the writer, we only began to really explore the world in the sixteenth century.
B.The ancient Egyptians had very little knowledge about the stars .
C.In the history of science , people sometimes have to discover a fact a second time .
D.The writer agrees with many Americans and Europeans except for the two facts mentioned in the passage .
61.Why does the writer use the example of the Greek scientist who calculated the distance around the world
A.He wants to show it is an ancient Greek scientist that calculated the distance around the world .
B.He wants to give an example of something which later scientists greatly improved .
C.He wants to show that science has not been developing significantly .
D.He wants to give an example of scientific knowledge available to early explorers .
62.According to the writer , why do Irish fishermen still use boats like the boats their ancestors used 1,000 years ago
A.They don’t have the money for expensive boats .
B.Boats made of wood or leather are light and fast .
C.The necessary materials are easily available .
D.The design of the boats is very good .
63. “People from the ancient world sailed around Africa . They even reached America.” In your opinion , how WOULD the writer of the passage feel about these statements
A.In his opinion , they are possible .
B.He does not believe them .
C.He had used this as an important fact to praise ancient civilization .
D.In his opinion , ancient explorers did not have the skills necessary for long journeys .

MONEY-SAVING TIPS FOR DISNEY WORLD
Every time you visit Disney World , there’s something new to see : What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high-tech , movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom . Each time the park expands , so do your chances to spend money. How can you save As a family guide to Disney World , I’ve been to the park more than 25 times with my kids , and I’ve developed a few money-saving plans .
·Buy the Five-Day All-in-One Hopper Pass . Even if you’re visiting for fewer days , it’s a deal (the pass costs $ 229 for visitors aged 10 and up , $ 183 for kids aged three to nine and is free for kids under age three ). Without the pass , you’ll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks . A single trip to Blizzard Beach , for example , would cost a family of four $100.
·Dine out at Lunch . The prices at some of the nicer restaurants , especially those in Epcot’s World Showcase , are much lower at noontime than at dinner . It’s wise to make reservations (预定) before you leave home . Call 407-W-DISNEY .
·Become a Gold Card Member . For $ 65 , you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card (call 1-800-56-DISNEY). Cardholders get up to 20 percent off Disney hotel rooms , plus price breaks on character breakfast , theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores .
·Don’t pay Extra to See a Character . Character-theme dinner shows are expensive , costing a family of four about $ 140 , and even a character breakfast , where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes , can set you back $ 50. If your budget (预算)is tight , try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in-park shows . You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show , for example , in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost , while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue requires expensive tickets .
·Wait Until the End of your Trip to Buy Souvenirs (纪念品) By then , the kids will really know what they want , and you won’t waste money on expensive things .
64.If you are short of money, the writer suggests you should NOT .
A.buy things for the kids from Disney stores
B.buy souvenirs at the beginning of the trip
C.make a trip to Blizzard Beach
D.have your meals out at noontime
65.You should pay more money if you .
A.have a Five-Day All-in-One Hopper Pass while you’re visiting for four days
B.do not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance
C.are not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder
D.have lunch at a restaurant in Epcot’s World Showcase
66.In the writer’s opinion , the better way of meeting the Disney cartoon characters is .
A.to have a character breakfast
B.to watch the Diamond Horseshoe show
C.to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks
D.to attend the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue

Ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another . Some societies , such as America and Australia , for example , are mobile and very open , people here change jobs and move house quite often . As a result , they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time , and they need to get to know people quickly . So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met , and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal .
On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important . A Malaysian or Mexican business person , for example , will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business . But when you do get to know each other , the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society .
To Americans , both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first . On the other hand , as a passenger from a less mobile society put it , it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer .
Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers , but also for the flights that carry them . All flights want to provide the best service , but ideas about good service are different from place to place . This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with .
Some societies have universalist’ cultures . These societies strongly respect rules , and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way .
‘Particularist’ societies , on the other hand , also have rules , but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person . So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person .
This difference can cause problems . A traveler from a particularist society , India , is checking in for a flight in Germany , a country which has a universalist culture . The Indian traveler has too much luggage , but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family . He expects that the check-in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him . The check-in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage , it wouldn’t be fair to the other passengers . But the traveler thinks this is unfair , because the other passengers don’t have his problem .
67.Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians .
A.like traveling better B.easy to communicate with
C.difficult to make real friends D.have a long-term relationship with their neighbors
68.People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those .
A.who will tell them everything of their own
B.who want to do business with them
C.they know quite well
D.who are good at talking
69.A person from a less mobile society will feel it when a stranger keeps talking to him or her , and asking him or her questions .
A.boring B.friendly C.normal D.rough
70.In ‘particularist societies’, .
A.they have no rules for people to obey
B.people obey the society’s rules completely
C.no one obeys the society’s rules though they have
D.the society’s rules can be changed with different persons or situations
71.The writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German have different ideas about rules because of different .
A.interests B.cultures C.habits and customs D.ways of life

Advice to “sleep on it” could be well founded , scientists say . After a good night’s sleep a problem that couldn’t be solved the night before can often appear more manageable , although the evidence until now has been anecdotal (个人体验的). But researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment that shows a good night’s sleep can improve insight and problem-solving . “If you have some newly-got memories in your brain , sleep acts on these memories , restructures (重构) them , so that after sleep the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases ,” said Dr Jan Born , a neuroscientist (神经科学家), at the university . To test the theory , they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them turn a string of numbers into a new order . There was also a third , hidden rule , which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem . The researchers divided the volunteers into two groups : half were allowed to sleep after the training while the remainder were forced to stay awake . Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training were twice as likely of figure out the third rule as the other group . “Sleep helped ,” Born said in a telephone interview . “The important thing is that you have to have a memory representation in your brain of the problem you want to solve and then you sleep , so it can act on the problem .”But Born admitted that he and his team don’t know how restructuring of memories occurs or what governs it . Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports the anecdotal suggestions that sleep can help develop creative thinking . Although the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery, the research gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep , they added .
72.The underlined phrase “ sleep on it” probably means .
A.to delay deciding something until the next day
B.to get as much sleep as possible
C.to go on sleeping without being disturbed
D.to sleep till after the time you usually get up in the morning
73.According to the passage , we know that .
A.the experiment was successfully carried out by researchers from Germany and Belgium
B.the hidden rule of the experiment was to get enough sleep
C.Jan Born and his team carried out the experiment through comparison and contrast
D.Pierre Maquet and Pierre Ruby had a completely different opinion on what Jan Born found
74.What can be inferred from the passage
A.People should sleep so long as they have time
B.Sleep is the only way to solve hard problems .
C.People have various periods of sleep .
D.The role of sleep in human creativity is still a puzzle .
75.What would be the best title for the passage
A.How sleep Works B.Sleep Helps Solve Problems
C.No Evidence , But Well Founded D.Born’s Discovery On Sleep

After they came out of their cars , the woman said , “So you’re a man . That’s interesting . I’m a woman . Wow, just look at our cars ! But we’re unhurt . This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days .”
Pleased , the man replied , “Oh, yes , I agree with you completely ! This must be a sign from God!” The woman continued , “And look at this , there’s another wonder . My car is seriously damaged but this bottle of wine doesn’t break . Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good luck .” Then she handed the bottle to the man . The man nodded his head , opened it and drank half the bottle and then handed it back to the woman . The woman took the bottle and immediately put the cap back on , and handed it back to the man . The man asked , “Aren’t you having any ” The woman replied , “No, I think I’ll just wait for the police to come …”
