    　　The Gunpowder Plot was conspiracy(阴谋)to kill King James I, as well as the members of the House of Lords and Commons at the re-opening of Parliament．It was designed by a group of Catholics in protest against the anti-Catholic laws that were being introduced by the king．

    　　Robert Catesby was the leader of the group．It was he and his cousin, Thomas Wintour, and two other friends, Thomas Percy and John Wright, who formed the center of the group．They were joined by nine more men; among them was Guy Fawkes, from the city of York in the north of England．

    　　Fawkes found a store room directly under the House of Lords and rented it out under the false name of John Johnson．The conspirators stored thirty-six barrels of gunpowder there, and Fawkes, who was an explosives expert, was to light the fuses(引信)on 5th November 1605．

    　　The plot failed because one of the conspirators, Francis Tresham, sent a letter to his relative, who was a member of the House of Lords．The letter warned him not to attend the opening ceremony of Parliament．The letter was passed on to the authorities, who took action．

    　　Guy Fawkes was found in the cellar on the night of 4th November with the thirty-six barrels and a number of fuses．He was imprisoned and ill-treated, eventually giving away the names of the conspirators．

    　　Soldiers of the king surrounded Holbeach House, in the Midlands, where they knew the conspirators to be hiding．In the fight that followed, four of them were shot dead, including Catesby and Percy, who were actually killed by the same bullet．The others were imprisoned and hanged along with Guy Fawkes on 31st January 1606．

    　　These days, on 5th November, children all over Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes Night by building huge bonfires and lighting fireworks．It's a family tradition and an occasion to eat potatoes baked by the flames．There is always a 'guy' on top of the fire, a model of Guy Fawkes, dressed in the clothes of the 17th century．

    Sorry to say,our brains naturally start slowing down at the Cruelty young age of 30.It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped,but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster.“Your brain is a learning machine,”saying University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich.Given the right tools,we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger.All that’s required is the practice designed just for the purpose:a few exercises for the mind.

    Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process(过程) in which the brain deals with information (positscience.com).Since much of the data we receive comes through speech,the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy(准确性).

    Over the course of training,the program starts asking you to distinguish(辨别) sounds (between“dog”and“bog”,for example) at an increasingly faster speed.It’s a bit like tennis instructor,says Merzenich,hitting balls at you—faster and faster to keep you challenged(受到挑战).You may start out slow,but before long you’re pretty quick.

    The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic.If you ask your brain to learn,it will learn.And it may even speed up while in the process.

    To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you:playing table tennis or bridge,doing crossword puzzles,learning a language...“When it comes to preventing ageing,you really do ‘use it or lose it’,”says Barbara Sahakian,professor at Cambridge University.

    Dr.Merzenich’s training method mainly depends on ______.

    A.speech training

    B.computer languages

    C.the activities one joins in

    D.the information being dealt with

    By saying “the brain at any age is highly plastic”,the writer probably means the brain can be ______.

    A.used                                                            B.mastered

    C.developed                                                     D.researched

    What can we learn from the text?

    A.Practice makes a quick mind.

    B.Brain research started ten years ago.

    C.Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer.

    D.People believed nothing could stop the brain slowing down.

    Which of the following agrees with the writer’s idea?

    A.The training methods work better for the old.

    B.People should use the brain to stop it from ageing.

    C.The training of the brain should start at an early age.

    D.It’s necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.

        Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport.” Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.

       The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led along way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and gun carrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins （血管）. They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate （刺激） a desire to own a gun. Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wild land habitat （栖息地）. Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesn't seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved.

         Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.

         Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human-character, then perhaps we should encourage war.

    72. According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because___________.

           A. they have little knowledge of it               B. it helps to build human character

           C. it is too costly to stop killing wildlife   D. they want to keep wildlife under control

    73. The underlined word "agony" in the last paragraph probably means______________.

          A. form               B. Condition        C. pain         D. sadness

    74. According to the text, the films children watch at school actually__________.

          A. teach them how to deal with guns safely        B. praise hunting as character-building

         C. describe hunting as an exercise            D. encourage them to have guns of their own                                                                                                                                          75. It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to_____________.

           A. blame the majority of people        B. worry about the existence of wildlife

           C. be in favour of war               D. be in support of character-building

    Passage Thirteen (The Neutrality of American in the Early World War II)
    The establishment of the Third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The compete destruction of democracy, the persecution of Jews, the war on religion, the cruelty and barbarism of the Nazis, and especially the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out against Hitler’s atrocities, the American people generally favored isolationist policies and neutrality. The Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the President was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion.
    American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt’s “quarantine the aggressor” speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler’s policies. Germany’s seizure of Austria and the Munich Pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia (1938) also aroused the American people. The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March, 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the Third Reich. In August,1939 came the shock of the Nazi-soviet Pact and in September the attack on Poland and the outbreak of European war. The United States attempted to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the democracies arrayed against the Third Reich. The Neutrality Act of 1939 repealed the arms embargo and permitted “cash and carry” exports of arms to belligerent nations. A strong national defense program was begun. A draft act was passed (1940) to strengthen the military services. A Lend Act (1941) authorized the President to sell, exchange, or lend materials to any country deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain by exchanging certain overage destroyers for the right to establish American bases in British territory in the Western Hemisphere. In August, 1940 President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war. In December, 1941, Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor. Immediately thereafter, Germany declared war on the United States.
    1.One item occurring before 1937 that the author does not mention in his list of actions that alienated the American public was
    A.the burning of the Reichstag.
    B.German plans for conquest.
    C.Nazi barbarism.
    D.the persecution of religious groups.
    2.The Lend-Lease Act was designed to
    A.help the British.
    B.strengthen the national defense of the United States.
    C.promote the Atlantic Charter.
    D.avenge Pearl Harbor.
    3.American Policy during the years 1935-1936 may be described as being
    A.watchful.
    B.isolationist.
    C.peaceful.
    D.indifferent.
    4.The Neutrality Act of 1939
    A.permitted the selling of arms to belligerent nations.
    B.antagonized Japan.
    C.permitted the British to trade only with the Allies.
    D.led to Lend-Lease Act.
    5.We entered the war against Germany
    A.because Germany declared war.
    B.because Japan was an ally of Germany.
    C.after Germany had signed the Nazi-soviet Pact.
    D.after peaceful efforts had failed.
