    The huge explosion at Krakatau was the result of two different factors. One was that the volcano had not broken out for some time and so at the very center of the volcano there was an huge plug of lava, this acted like a cork(塞子) in a bottle, stopping the pressure below from being released(释放). The second factor was that ocean water entered the very centre of the volcano as the explosions became more violent. This caused superheated steam to build up enormous pressure and this was finally released in the largest explosion of all on August 27, 1883. The sudden release of the pressure sent huge amounts of ash, rock and dust into the sky. Some of the ash rose 80km into the air and traveled around the Earth causing brightly coloured sunsets for several years.
    Krakatau almost disappeared; for many years after this explosion, it remained very quiet. However, there was still activity going on under the sea and on 25 January, 1925, a small volcanic cone appeared above the surface of the water. This new volcano was named Anak Kmkatau, or Child of Krakatau. Over the following years, the size of the island grew larger, by 1959, the island was 300 metres above the surface of the sea. The volcanic activity has continued and the latest eruptions were in 1995.
    There is no doubt Krakatar will continue to grow and there is also strong evidence that at some point in the future there will be another violent explosion. Krakatau is in a part of the world where the surface of the Earth is unstable and is always moving and cracking. If, in the future, another “cork” becomes fixed in the centre of the volcano, the pressure will build up. A series of a smaller explosions will allow sea-water into the centre of the volcano and once again the result will a terribly destructive explosion.
    66. The latest eruptions were in_______.
    A.1925           B. 1959           C. 1995          D. 1983
    67. The pressure under the volcano can not be released because _______
    the plug looks like a cork in a bottle
    the volcano hasn’t broken out for some time
    the center of the volcano is blocked(堵塞) by lava
    the temperature of the steam is not high enough.
    68. We can infer from the article that Krakatau volcano________
    A. has broken out three times               B. never dies but continues to be active
    C. will kill many people again in the future    D. is always moving and growing above sea.
    69. All of the following results are caused by the explosion at Krakatau EXCEPT that_____
    A. ash, rock and dust was thrown high into the air
    B. others small volcanoes were soon produced.
    C. The island of Kratau was destroyed
    D. People saw beautiful sunsets for some years
    70. The article is mainly about________
    A. the cause of the Krakatau volcano      B. the danger of the Krakatau volcano
    C. the history of the Krakatau volcano     D. the future of the Krakatau volcano

    It was starting to get dark and Bobby turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the setting sun’s rays reflecting off something along the roadside. He reached down and discovered a shiny dime(一角钱). Never before has anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby felt at that moment.
    As he held his new found treasure, a warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store he saw.

There, before Bobby’s eyes, lay twelve long stem, red roses, with leaves of green and tiny white flowers all tied together with a big silver bow. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner picked them up and placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man.” The shop owner said reaching out his hand for the dime.
    Sensing the boy’s reluctance(勉强), the shop owner added, “I just happened to have some roses on sale for ten cents a dozen. Would you like them?”

    The easiest way for the English to deal with their social discomfort is to avoid social interaction altogether, by choosing either leisure (闲暇) activities that can be performed in the privacy of one’s own house, or outdoor activities that follow their interest without direct contact with anyone other than one’s own family members, such as going for a walk, or to the cinema, or shopping．
    In recent survey, over half of all the leisure activities were of this private domestic type, and of the top ten pastimes, only two—having friends round for a meal or drink, and going to the pub—could be described as ‘sociable’．The most domestic activities are the most popular: watching TV, listening to the radio, reading, DIY （Do It Yourself） and gardening．Even when the English are being sociable, the survey findings show that most of them would much rather entertain a few close friends or relatives in the safety of their own homes than venture out  among strangers．
    In the latest national census survey （人口普查）, over half of the entire adult male population had been DIYing in the four weeks before the census date．Nearly a third of the female population had also been busily improving their homes, and their work with their gardens was equally obvious: 52 percent of all English males and 45 percent of females had been out there, cutting branches and weeding grass．
    Even among people claiming to belong to a particular religion, only two percent attend services every week．The rest of the population can be found every Sunday at their local garden center or DIY superstore．And when they want a break from caring about their own homes and gardens, they go on trips to visit bigger and better houses and gardens, such as the stately homes and gardens opened to the public by the National Trust and the Royal Horticulture Society．Visiting grand country houses always ranks as one of the most popular national pastimes．
    45．The result of the survey shows that ________.
    A．about half English people enjoy working in their gardens
    B．8 out of 10 pastimes can be described as social activities
    C．2 percent of the religious people enjoy visits to public houses
    D．visiting stately homes is the most popular national pastime
    46．According to the passage, the English enjoy all of the following EXCEPT________.
    A．the social activities, such as gathering with friends
    B．working at home and in their gardens
    C．dining out in a public place among strangers
    D．visits to stately homes and gardens
    47．The underlined word “domestic” probably means________.
    A．public      B．household     C．outdoor           D．collective
    48．The passage mainly tells us about________.
    A．why the English don’t like social activities
    B．how the English spend their leisure time
    C．what the result of a recent census survey is
    D．where the English hold their private activities

    In 1993, researchers at the University of California at Irvine discovered the so – called “Mozart Effect” – that college students who listened to ten minutes of Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos in D major (D大调) before taking an IQ test scored nine points higher than when they had sat in silence or listened to relaxation tapes. Other studies also have indicated that people gain information better if they hear classical or baroque (a style of art) music while studying.
    It is said that Albert Einstein was an average student until he began playing the violin. "Before that, he had a hard time expressing what he knew," says Hazel Cheilek, orchestra director at Fairfax County's Thomas Jefferson High School. “Einstein said he got some of his greatest inspirations while playing the violin. It liberated his brain so that he could imagine." In the early 1700s, England's King George I also felt he would make better decisions if he listened to good music. Reportedly, Handel responded by composing his Water Music suites to be played while the king floated the Thames on his royal boat. Even Plato in ancient Greece believed studying music created a sense of order and harmony necessary for intelligent thought.
    The deepest effects take place in young children, while their brains are growing. This year, the same researchers at Irvine’s Center for Neurobiology of Leaming and Memory found that preschoolers who had received eight months of music lessons scored 80 percent higher on certain tasks than other youngsters who received no musical training.
    Music students continue to beat their non – arts peers (同龄人) on the SAT, according to the 1999 “Profiles of SAT and Achievement Test Takers” from The College Board. Students with coursework in music appreciation scored 42 points higher on the math section of the test than students with no coursework or experience in the arts.
    All of this to say "you are the judge" but listening to Mozart certainly won't hurt you. My point always is that making music is preferable to passive listening and that listening to live music is always preferable to listening to recorded music. Mozart WILL NOT raise your IQ, but it might help you organize your thoughts better before taking a standardized test.
    63．When people mention Albert Einstein, King George I and Plato, they believe that the effect of music is_______.
    A．positive    B．negative    C．suspicious D．sensitive
    64．So far researchers at the University of California at Irvine have done studies about_______.
    A．college students who listen to rock music every day
    B．people who hear classical music while studying
    C．preschoolers with music lessons
    D．music students in SAT
    65．Which of the following is an opinion rather than a fact?
    A．Handel composed Water Music to be played while the kind floated the Thames on his boat.
    B．Mozart might help you organize your thought better before taking a standardized test.
    C．Preschoolers with music training scored higher on object – assembly tasks.
    D．Music students continue to beat their non – arts peers on the SAT.
    66．What is the author’s opinion about music?
    A．He thinks that listening to music is better than making music.
    B．He has a doubt whether listening to Mozart will hurt the listeners.
    C．He is sure that listening to the music of Mozart will raise people’s IQ.
    D．He thinks that live concert is better worth listening to than recorded music.

    Dear College Dean
    It is my understanding that this college has received a large donation to be used to enhance (improve) the quality of life for students: expand the bookstore or add computers to the computer lab. It is the tradition of this school to promote education and to be in the vanguard of new technology. That is why I strongly argue in favor of the addition of more computers to the computer lab.
    Although expanding the campus bookstore to include CDs, gifts, and a snack bar will give a nicer look to the college, we have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to enhance the quality of life for students. What do we want for our students and our college? Do we want our college to be known as a place with a great bookstore where you can find CDs and gifts, or as a place where the students can explore and research in their field using the best tools provided by technology? In addition, there are already several snack bars on campus, and there are music stores nearby, so students do not depend on the college bookstore for these things.
    We live in a highly technological world and computers play an increasingly important role in how we live. As a learning institution, this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to help them prepare for their future. Many students will be expected to be familiar with the latest software and other tools when they go on to work or to graduate school.
    While they are in college, students find they are expected to use computers. Many professors expect students to use computers to do homework or to complete projects. Students are asked to create PowerPoint presentations and use spreadsheets and database programs, as well as to research many topics on the Internet. Since students are competing for good grades, those who have limited access to computers are at a great disadvantage. Furthermore, being able to do projects using the computer enhances the process of learning, giving students the opportunity to find information that without a computer would be much more difficult to find.
    If there are more computers, students will also be able to complete their work more efficiently. No more will they have to wait in line, paper and disk in hand, while scanning the room for an empty chair and computer. No longer will they have to sit and wait while an outdated computer struggles to follow their commands. Having more new and faster computers available will enable students to finish their work more quickly.
    The more computers are used in society the more colleges will depend on them as a tool of teaching and learning. Making computers more available to students facilitates their learning process by making the process easier, more interesting, more engaging, and in the process enhancing their quality of life
    68．The purpose of the author in writing the passage is__________
    A．to describe the problems caused by lack of computers
    B．to explain why students are in great need of computers
    C．to tell us what benefits students can gain from computers
    D．to persuade the Dean to purchase more advanced computers
    69．From the passage we can infer that______
    A．present computers in the college cannot meet the demands of the students
    B．computers in the college will be updated to meet the student’s demands soon
    C．the college has the responsibility to help the students to prepare for their future
    D．it is also necessary to expand the college bookstore by using part of the donation
    70．In paragraph 4, the author mainly wants to tell us that_______
    A．computers are beneficial to students’ academic success
    B．computers are helpful to student’s competition for success
    C．students find it convenient to do assignments by using computers
    D．students wish to use the money to buy more advanced computers
    71．Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
    CP: Central Point     P: Point    SP: Sub-point（次要点）    C: Conclusion

    .
    Some schools that are not year-round often have summer programs. In many cases, students take summer classes to repeat a subject they failed. This way they get a second chance to succeed. But schools also offer summer classes to students who want to be free of a required class during the next school year.
    Generally, students in these classes want to take fewer subjects during the year because they are involved in a lot of activities. They might be involved in sports or music programs. Or both – and more.
    These summer school students do the same amount of work as if they took the class during the school year. But they do it in a much shorter time, one or two months. They say it makes for a lot of reading and homework and not much time for anything else. Some education experts are worried about high school students who take summer school because of pressure to attend a top university.
    The New York Times recently reported about summer classes at one of the best high schools in the United States. New Trier High School is in Winnetka, Illinois. Almost six hundred students are in school this summer. Only twenty are repeating classes that they failed. The others are in difficult courses like physics and history.
    The students say taking classes like these in the summer means that they can take even more difficult classes next year. They say this shows not only that they are serious about their studies but that they have experienced the most difficult high school program.
    Another place with a lot of students in summer school is Palo Alto, California. The Mercury News reported that about twenty percent of the students in the city schools are in class this summer. That is more than two thousand teenagers.
    A third are in classes they failed before. The others are taking subjects they do not have time for during the normal school year.
    But they are not taking subjects like physics and history. The students in Palo Alto are in classes like creative writing, film studies, literature and cooking.
    63. This passage mainly talks about ______.
    A. summer classes in American schools
    B. why American schools offer summer classes
    C. the advantages of American summer school
    D. experts’ anxiety(担忧)about American summer school
    64. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the students’ attending summer classes in America?
    A.Repeating a subject.           
    B.Completing a required subject ahead of time.
    C.Improving their physical quality    
    D.Learning some special skills
    65. What’s the biggest difference between the summer classes in New Trier High School and in Palo Alto?
    A.There are more students attending classes that they failed before in Palo Alto.
    B.Some students in Palo Alto learn some special skills instead of taking physics and history.
    C.Some students in Palo Alto take some subjects so that they can join in sports or music programs later.
    D.The students’ attitude towards studies in Palo Alto is worse than that in New Trier High School.
    66. What can we infer from the passage?
    A.American students in schools don’t have any pressure to attend top universities.
    B.Summer school students don’t do the same amount of work as they do during the school year.
    C. American students attend summer schools in order to relax themselves very much.
    D. American students in high schools face great pressure to attend top universities.

    About 97% of the world’s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we can’t drink sea water, how can it be important?
    Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important sea water is!
    Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced.
    The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.
    Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important sea water is! 
    46. Which of the following is the proper order of the food chain?
    A. small animals→algae→microscopic animals→large animals→man
    B. algae→microscopic animals→large animals→larger animals→man
    C. small animals→algae→large animals→microscopic animals→man
    D. microscopic animals→algae→large animals →larger animals→man
    47. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea ________.
    A. wouldn’t harm the fish in the sea   B. would change the balance of the food chain
    C. would be broken down in the sea   D. wouldn’t do much harm to the sea
    48. From the passage, we learn that _________. 
    A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
    B. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
    C. excessive fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock
    D. it won’t be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved
    49. Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?
    A. The use of international agreements.   
    B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
    C. The use of new techniques.          
    D. Raising people’s awareness of the need to protect oceans.
    50. What would be the best title of the passage?
    A. The importance of seawater.
    B. Life in the oceans.
    C. How to protect food chains.
    D. How to deal with seawater pollution.

    "Depend on yourself" is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.
    There have been many men in history.  But many of them were very poor in childhood, and no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few. They could not depend upon them for an education. They saw how it was and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way till they became well-known.
    One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, "I can not make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourself."
    Some young men don't try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. They can never gain achievement(成就) unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.
