Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all Before
1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making musical instruments . In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.
One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin's a grand entrance for a long time!

Sandeep Mukerji was on his first visit to Thailand but would leave the "Land of Smiles" with a frown(皱眉头) and an empty pocket.
A stone's throw from the Grand Palace in Bangkok, the 26-year-old Canadian ran into a monk in a robe(穿长袍的和尚). The monk told him that the attraction he was hoping to visit had been closed.
The monk then introduced Mukerji to a jewellery store instead. On the way there, three different people told him that it was the last day of a once-a-year, tax-free jewellery promotion to encourage tourism.
They said that tourists can make a lot of money by buying gems(宝石) in Thailand and selling them once at home.
Two hours later, Mukerji had spent US ＄1250 on a set of almost worthless jewellery.
"The whole process took me by surprise. They take advantage of your greed." he said.
In fact, Mukerji is just one of a huge number of tourists who are cheated by the promise of making a fortune. The scam(诡计) brings Thailand more than US $10 million each year.
Although tourist police stations have displayed posters to warn of the scam, many fresh-faced tourists still fall prey to the trick,
The police say they receive 5 to 10 complaints a day. Many more may not realize they have been cheated until they go back home.
Thai authorities say that the jewellery scam is harmful to Thailand' s image , but getting rid of the cheats is hard.
Sanit Miphan, head of the police, said the scam has been running for about 15 years but not jewellery shop owner has been arrested.
The shops usually open for two weeks and then close. They reopen and register(注册) under a new name. What's more, overcharging itself is not breaking the law.
Yet, to keep the tourism business alive, the police said they would take action against any shop receiving more than 10 complaints.
( )60. Sandeep Mukerji was cheated probably because of all the following except that
A. he was young
B. he believed that the monk wouldn't cheat others
C. he had more or less the wish to try his fortune
D. the cheat scare was too :skillful to be found out
( )61. How many people at least together cheated Sandeep Mukerji
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
( )62. Suppose everyone who was cheated lost as much as Mukerji did, how many visitors to Bankok would be cheated each year
A. About 6,000 B. About 8,000 C. About 10,000 D. More than 10,000
( )63. Which of the following statements is true
A. Thai tourist police are carrying out their task very efficiently.
B. The management of Thai tourist market is very strict.
C. Any shop receiving complaints will be punished as seriously as possible.
D. It is hard for the police to crack down the cheats efficiently partly because many cheats' deeds seem not to break the law.
( )64. The underlined phrase "take advantage of" probably means " ."
A. find out B. look through C. make use of D. are fond of
C
Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. 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 armor(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 furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range 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 grass land. 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 of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.
( )65. 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
( )66. 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
( )67. 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
( )68. The writer thinks that it is to try to master every subject.
A. necessary B. possible C. not good D. not interesting
D
Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney' s entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks Well, ore reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their "guests" as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.
All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking "Traditions I." Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.
After passing "Traditions I," the employees go on to more specialized training for their specific job. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight - hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, "What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the camp- grounds We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party."
Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail, and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company's goals more clearly.
All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one long-time business observer once said, "How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his fifty years of success…"I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best."
( )69. The first day they come to Disney parks, all new employees
A. begin by receiving on - the - job training B. must learn several jobs
C. begin as ticket takers D. have already attended Disney University
( )70. The main goal of the Disney employees is to
A. learn all parts of the business B. see that their guests enjoy themselves
C. be able to answer all kinds of questions D. keep their important guests happy
( )71. Each year, managers wear special service clothes and work in the park to
A. set a good example to employees B. remind themselves of their beginning at Disney
C. gain a better view of the company's objectives D. replace employees on holiday
( )72. Which Of the following is not true according to the passage
A. Tourists learn the history of Disney in its entertainment parks.
B. Disney attracts people almost from all over the world.
C. Parades are regularly held in Disney's entertainment parks.
D. Disney's managers are able to do almost all kinds of work in the Disney parks.
( )73. This passage is mainly about
A. how Disney employees are trained
B. the history and traditions of the Disney enterprises(事业)
C. why Disney enterprises make a lot of money
D. the importance which Disney places on serving people well

Studying Abroad
In recent years, studying abroad has been popular. Tens of thousands of Chinese students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are trying their best/trying by all means/making great efforts to apply to go abroad.
There are many advantages in attending schools abroad. First, students who have studied abroad can act as mediators between people of different cultures. Second, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Third, we can learn foreign languages more quickly.
However, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students are too young to live by themselves without any living experience. Besides, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. Also, the costs are much higher there than at home in the native country. In spite of these, advantages are more than disadvantages. In my opinion, it is advisable to attend schools abroad.

Christmas is a festival for family members to get together for reunion. People who live away try to get back home. The roads and railways are full of people traveling long distances in order to spend Christmas at home. And above all, it' s the children' s festival.
The children count the weeks, then the days to Christmas. They' re wondering what presents they are going to have; they keep trying to find something out from their mother, but the only thing the mother will tell them is stories about Father Christmas, who brings presents to good children.
Christmas Eve comes at last. When the children go to bed they hang up their stockings and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course it' s really their parents who fill the stockings, but even the older children often pretend not to know this.
Everybody likes to be happy at Christmas time. The theater puts on special shows for children. The circus is another thing that parents may lake their children to see. Here, the audience sit in a circle and the performance takes place in the center. The main attraction is the performing animals. Elephants, lions and tigers are trained to do astonishing tricks. Every circus, too, has clowns who make people laugh.

Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all Before
1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making musical instruments . In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.
One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin's a grand entrance for a long time!

Sandeep Mukerji was on his first visit to Thailand but would leave the "Land of Smiles" with a frown(皱眉头) and an empty pocket.
A stone's throw from the Grand Palace in Bangkok, the 26-year-old Canadian ran into a monk in a robe(穿长袍的和尚). The monk told him that the attraction he was hoping to visit had been closed.
The monk then introduced Mukerji to a jewellery store instead. On the way there, three different people told him that it was the last day of a once-a-year, tax-free jewellery promotion to encourage tourism.
They said that tourists can make a lot of money by buying gems(宝石) in Thailand and selling them once at home.
Two hours later, Mukerji had spent US ＄1250 on a set of almost worthless jewellery.
"The whole process took me by surprise. They take advantage of your greed." he said.
In fact, Mukerji is just one of a huge number of tourists who are cheated by the promise of making a fortune. The scam(诡计) brings Thailand more than US $10 million each year.
Although tourist police stations have displayed posters to warn of the scam, many fresh-faced tourists still fall prey to the trick,
The police say they receive 5 to 10 complaints a day. Many more may not realize they have been cheated until they go back home.
Thai authorities say that the jewellery scam is harmful to Thailand' s image , but getting rid of the cheats is hard.
Sanit Miphan, head of the police, said the scam has been running for about 15 years but not jewellery shop owner has been arrested.
The shops usually open for two weeks and then close. They reopen and register(注册) under a new name. What's more, overcharging itself is not breaking the law.
Yet, to keep the tourism business alive, the police said they would take action against any shop receiving more than 10 complaints.
( )60. Sandeep Mukerji was cheated probably because of all the following except that
A. he was young
B. he believed that the monk wouldn't cheat others
C. he had more or less the wish to try his fortune
D. the cheat scare was too :skillful to be found out
( )61. How many people at least together cheated Sandeep Mukerji
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
( )62. Suppose everyone who was cheated lost as much as Mukerji did, how many visitors to Bankok would be cheated each year
A. About 6,000 B. About 8,000 C. About 10,000 D. More than 10,000
( )63. Which of the following statements is true
A. Thai tourist police are carrying out their task very efficiently.
B. The management of Thai tourist market is very strict.
C. Any shop receiving complaints will be punished as seriously as possible.
D. It is hard for the police to crack down the cheats efficiently partly because many cheats' deeds seem not to break the law.
( )64. The underlined phrase "take advantage of" probably means " ."
A. find out B. look through C. make use of D. are fond of
C
Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. 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 armor(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 furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range 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 grass land. 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 of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.
( )65. 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
( )66. 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
( )67. 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
( )68. The writer thinks that it is to try to master every subject.
A. necessary B. possible C. not good D. not interesting
D
Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney' s entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks Well, ore reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their "guests" as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.
All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking "Traditions I." Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.
After passing "Traditions I," the employees go on to more specialized training for their specific job. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight - hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple, ordinary job, he replied, "What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the camp- grounds We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the party."
Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail, and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company's goals more clearly.
All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or the world. As one long-time business observer once said, "How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his fifty years of success…"I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best."
( )69. The first day they come to Disney parks, all new employees
A. begin by receiving on - the - job training B. must learn several jobs
C. begin as ticket takers D. have already attended Disney University
( )70. The main goal of the Disney employees is to
A. learn all parts of the business B. see that their guests enjoy themselves
C. be able to answer all kinds of questions D. keep their important guests happy
( )71. Each year, managers wear special service clothes and work in the park to
A. set a good example to employees B. remind themselves of their beginning at Disney
C. gain a better view of the company's objectives D. replace employees on holiday
( )72. Which Of the following is not true according to the passage
A. Tourists learn the history of Disney in its entertainment parks.
B. Disney attracts people almost from all over the world.
C. Parades are regularly held in Disney's entertainment parks.
D. Disney's managers are able to do almost all kinds of work in the Disney parks.
( )73. This passage is mainly about
A. how Disney employees are trained
B. the history and traditions of the Disney enterprises(事业)
C. why Disney enterprises make a lot of money
D. the importance which Disney places on serving people well

Studying Abroad
In recent years, studying abroad has been popular. Tens of thousands of Chinese students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are trying their best/trying by all means/making great efforts to apply to go abroad.
There are many advantages in attending schools abroad. First, students who have studied abroad can act as mediators between people of different cultures. Second, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Third, we can learn foreign languages more quickly.
However, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students are too young to live by themselves without any living experience. Besides, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. Also, the costs are much higher there than at home in the native country. In spite of these, advantages are more than disadvantages. In my opinion, it is advisable to attend schools abroad.

Christmas is a festival for family members to get together for reunion. People who live away try to get back home. The roads and railways are full of people traveling long distances in order to spend Christmas at home. And above all, it' s the children' s festival.
The children count the weeks, then the days to Christmas. They' re wondering what presents they are going to have; they keep trying to find something out from their mother, but the only thing the mother will tell them is stories about Father Christmas, who brings presents to good children.
Christmas Eve comes at last. When the children go to bed they hang up their stockings and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course it' s really their parents who fill the stockings, but even the older children often pretend not to know this.
Everybody likes to be happy at Christmas time. The theater puts on special shows for children. The circus is another thing that parents may lake their children to see. Here, the audience sit in a circle and the performance takes place in the center. The main attraction is the performing animals. Elephants, lions and tigers are trained to do astonishing tricks. Every circus, too, has clowns who make people laugh.
