(强调) the importance again and again. But soon the importance of English idioms
was 36 by an amusing 37 .
One day, I 38 to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be understanding, gently shaking his head, shrugging (耸肩)his shoulders, saying, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was 39 . I thought, perhaps this was 40 an appropriate (合适的) topic. Well, I’d better 41 the topic. So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone 42 home will laugh at me if I leave China without 43 it. It was magnificent.” He was 44 in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are 45 of it.” I said. But I was 46 again by his order. “You don’t say!” Then I couldn’t help 47 , “Why do you ask me not to 48 it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do 49 .” he answered, gently 50 . I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman 51 to tears. He began to explain, “ ‘You don’t say’ 52 means ‘really’. It is an 53 of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only 54 did I know I had made a 55 of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions than ever.

During the Christmas shopping rush in London, an interesting story was reported of a tramp (流浪者) who, apparently (显然) no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff (职员) were dead beat and longing to get home. Maybe all the proper security (保安) checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate (急切的) to get last-minute Christmas presents.
However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these things. When the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor and calm character—as indeed tramps very commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He gave in, cheerfully enough, to being taken away by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded (判给) no compensation (偿还) to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed (消费). They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity (宣传) from the coverage (报导) the story received in the newspaper and on television. Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas too.
61. Where did the tramp spend his Christmas?
A. In prison. B. At home. C. At a hotel. D. In a shop.
62. The sentence “… the staff were dead beat…” means they were ______.
A. half dead B. tired out C. hurried D. forgetful
63. What action did the tramp take? He ______.
stole the store B. made himself at home in the store
C. went to sleep for 2 days D. had a New Year party
64. When the tramp was arrested, he ______.
laughed at he police
B. looked forward to going to prison
C. took his bottles with him
D. went away without a struggle
65. Why didn’t the judge award compensation to the chain store?
A. The tramp had stolen nothing of value.
B. The store had profited (收益) by the incident.
C. The tramp had a happy Christmas.
D. The store was responsible (负责的) for what happened.
C
Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people’s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being “more like a 90-year-old woman in good health” than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: “A very short one.” She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.
So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Janne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: “Sorry, I’m still alive!”
66.Jeanne Calment became a very famous woman on 17 October 1995 because_________.
A. her age was almost the same as that of an old Japanese man
B. she was a faous sports woman an a world record holder
C. she set a new world record in the age of human beings
she lived longer than her husband, her son and grandson
67. How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age? She _______.
A. feels upset and unhappy B. is cheerful and humorous
C. likes to live much longer D. feels she is going to die soon
The text seems to suggest that Jeanne Calment owes her good health and long life to_______.
A. smoking only a little every day
B. neither smoking nor drinking
C. always drinking two glasses of strong red wine a day and never smoking
D. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises
69. Which of the following could best explain the underlined word “genes” in the third paragraph?
A. Habits.
B. Some materials that control the development of a living thing.
C. Living conditions.
D. Wealth.
70. Why did Jeanne calment say “Sorry, I’m still alive” to the local lawyer?
A. She had an agreement with the lawyer when she was 80.
B. The lawyer has not paid her enough rent yet.
C. The lawyer has paid her more money than the value of the house.
D. The house she sold to the lawyer was worth the money already paid.
D
The Gulf War changed the lives of ordinary people, many of whom lived far from Kuwait or Iraq. In this eight-series correspondents visit individuals and families who have had to change completely their plans and life styles as a result of the war.
We hear, for example, from an Iraqi Kurdish family who escaped across the snow covered mountains to Turkey, losing everything they had saved over more that 20 years. John Renner visits them in their small tent in the heat and dust of a refugee camp(难民营)where they are desperately hoping that some Western country will offer them shelter.
There is a Palestinian family which lived and worked in Kuwait and cannot return. They have lost friends, family, their living and a way of life. And what about the US serviceman and his family who had heard little about Kuwait before the invasion? Do they think it was worth-while and how easy was it to fit back into their old routine after their experiences of the war?
John Renner meets an Asian maid who worked in the Gulf and supported her family at home with her salary. Is she thinking of going back, or has she been put off by the experience of escaping and the horror stories of exploitation in Kuwait?
These are just some of the people who are heard in the series which are produced by Lindsey Hilsum.
71. This is an introduction to ________.
? A. a film??????????????B. a radio programme
? C. a book??????????????D. a TV programme
72. The programme consists of ________ series and a number of interviews with ________.

About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn’t want to carry too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred- dollar bill in the safe for me.
The next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money. I didn’t have any proof that I had given the man the money. There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.
The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk. This I did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Since I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.
Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer’s plan into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel. I asked for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me, I denied(否认)it. The lawyer said to him, “I saw this gentleman give you a hundred dollars. If you don’t hand it over immediately, I’ll be forced to call the police.”
The clerk realized he had been tricked, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
“I don’t know how to thank you enough for getting my money back,” I said to the lawyer. And what you suppose he answered?

With the development of material prosperity(繁荣), advertisements (广告) have become more and more important in our daily life.
Advertisements give the newest information about products. If there were no advertising, consumers(消费者)could not know about goods in their nearby shops. Advertisement helps sell to a bigger market. Therefore, as more goods are sold they are cheaper. Advertisements also provide money for newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations, etc.
But there are also some opinions against advertising. Some people think that advertisements do not give much information but only try to persuade you to buy. They create a demand for goods that are not really needed. Besides, advertising adds to the price of goods.
Actually, every coin(硬币)has two sides. Advertising is without exception. But in today's world, advertising is not only necessary but also helpful.

In hotels the fear of fire is very real. A large hotel, say one able to put up three or four hundred guests, has a responsibility(责任). All possible steps must be taken to reduce the danger of fire , but if a fire breaks out, people staying in the hotel must reach safety without delay(耽搁).
At the Hammond Palace recently the fire alarm sounded at seven a. m. one day. Two hundred guests, including children and babies, quickly left the hotel by the staircases. This was a tiresome move for everyone because the hotel has fourteen floors, and the people walked down over three hundred steps. Within minutes two fire engines arrived, with sixteen firemen. Half an hour later the guests were allowed back into the building. And the fire? It was in the hotel kitchen. Some bread had caught fire in an electric toaster(电烤箱). Do some people take their responsibilities a little too seriously?
71. This passage mainly tells us how ___.
A. to take steps to keep guests safe when fire breaks out
B. to put out fire in hotels as soon as possible
C. the fear of fire happens and how to deal with it
D. to build safe staircases for hotels with hundreds of people
72. What does the writer think of people's actions for the fire in the kitchen?
A. Such a small fire brought so much trouble to the guests.
B. It was right for the hotel to take steps to deal with the fire.
C. It was a small fire but all the guests must leave out of the hotel.
D. Don't give fire alarm when kitchen fire broke out.

The hills near the shore of the ocean a few miles south of San Franciso are a favorite place for people who go hang-gliding(悬挂式滑翔运动). The winds are usually strong enough to keep the gliders flying, and the sandy beach below is a safe and soft place to land.?
In the early afternoon, a dozen or so people gather, getting ready to jump into the air and fly out over the sea. One of them looks different-the only one with gray hair. He is seventy-four-year-old Mr Kay, who has been hang-gliding for over a year.
Why, at his age, did he begin a sport that is considered quite dangerous? “Well , one day I came down here to watch, and it was so beautiful-just the gliders peacefully flying over the ocean. I felt I had to try it.” he explains.
Hang-gliding he feels quite safe. “There's no need to be afraid if you are careful to make sure your glider is put together exactly right. I exercise regularly and never do anything foolish while I am in the air. You can't let fear rule your life. The excitement of this sport is worth the danger.” he says-just before he glides off into the blue sky.

How Americans Began to Eat Tomatoes
People have strange ideas about food. For example, tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. It has rich nutrition and vitamin in it. But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. But they thought the vegetable was poisonous. They called tomatoes "poison apples."
President Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup was served at the President party. The guests thought the soup tasted really good. They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples. Jefferson never spoke to his honored guests about the fact.
61. After you read the passage, which of the following do you think is true?
A. Americans never ate tomatoes after they began to plant them.
B. Americans didn't eat tomatoes before 18th century.
C. Even now Americans don't eat tomatoes.
D. In the 19th century Americans ate a lot of tomatoes.
62. Jefferson learned that tomatoes were good to eat ________.
A. while he was in Paris
B. even when he was a little boy
C. because his parents told him so
D. from books
63. From the passage we know all the honored guests invited by Jefferson were ______,
A. people from other countries
B. from France
C. people of his own country
D. men only
64. According to the passage, which of the following is false ?
A. All of the guests knew the soup that was served at the President's
party was made of tomatoes.
B. All of the guests thought the soup which was prepared by the President's cook was nice.
C. All of the guests thought the taste of the beautiful pink soup was nice.
D. All of the guests didn't know that their President would serve his honored guests poison apples.

Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become“computer-l iterate.”But not all experts(专家) agree that this is a good idea.
One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computer town UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer. David does not see it that way. He says that Computer town UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them“people-literate.”
David Tebbutt thinks Computer towns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computer towns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do they find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer al l questions people ask. People don't have to learn computer terms(术语) but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming “people-literate.”
65.Which of the following is David Tebbutt's idea on the relation ship between people and computers?
A. Computer learning should be made easier.?
B. There should be more computer clubs for experts.?
C. People should work harder to master computer use.?
D. Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.?
66.We can infer from the text that “computer-literate” means
A. being able to afford a computer.?
B. being able to write computer programs.?
C. working with the computer and finding out its value.?
D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it.
67.The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computer towns.
A. help to set up more computer clubs.?
B. bring people to learn to use computers.?
C. bring more experts to work together.?
D. help to sell computers to public.?
68.David Tebbutt started Computer town UK with the purpose of.?
A. making better use of computer experts
B. improving computer programs
C. increasing computer sales
D. popularising computers

My favourite place for water-sports is Lake Vinney but it has only existed since 1975 when the valley was filled with water to provide electricity. Under the water is the village, Vinnthorpe. Last week I talked to Pat Smithers who runs a shop on the edge of the lake and looks after the huge car park. She said drowning the village was the best thing that ever happened as it brought a lot of business to the area and the number of visitors from all over the country continues to increase. When I asked people enjoying the water-sports, they said they never thought about the drowned houses and streets. When I spoke to some people sitting in the cafe overlooking the lake, I was surprised to find they still feel angry about what happened. They used to live in Vinnthorpe and were moved to other places in the area, among them thirty children who are now middle-aged, but they still miss the village. They say that nobody asked them what they wanted—they were told one day that everything was decided. It is a shame that these people lost their homes and I hope something similar never happens again in the future. I would miss the water-sports if they weren’t there, however, and I must say that I hadn’t ever thought about what was under the water until last week.
69.What do we find out about Lake Vinney?
A.It attracts tourists from abroad.
B.There are lots of houses on the banks.
C.More people are visiting it every year.
D.Mainly local people do water-sports there.
70.What does the writer think about Vinnthorpe?
A.He agrees with Pat Smithers.
B.He feels sorry for the people who lived there.
C.He thinks it should now be forgotten.
D.He has always felt guilty about water-skiing there.

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”
The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”
The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.
Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex (性别). They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their hearts into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.

Today people can use the phone to talk with others almost anywhere on earth. But when you use the phone, you don’t see the person you are talking with. That may change in the near future.
Today some people are using a kind of telephone called the picture phone or vision phone. With it, two people who are talking can see each other.
Picture phones can be useful when you have something to show the person you’re calling. They may have other uses in the future. One day you may be able to ring up a library and ask to see a book. Then you’ll be able to read the book right over your picture phone. Or you may be able to go shopping through your picture phone. If you see something in the newspaper that you think you want to buy, you’ll go to your phone and call the shop. People at the shop will show you the thing you’re interested in right over the phone. You’ll be able to shop all over town and never leave your room!

Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future(未来)computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts(内容)from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calla will be made by computers, too.
Some people are glad about those new ways of shopping and communicating(交际). Others do not think that computers will replace(代替) our old ways.
Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化)books will be used more and more.
Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely(不大可能) that many people will want to road large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits(习惯).

A.playing games, shopping and making telephone calls

C.seeing films, buying food, and going for holidays
