阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
“I ask you to drink to his health as a young man full of the spirit of adventure who has lit up the world with a flash of courage.” With these words, the British Minister of Air turned and raised his glass to the young man who sat beside him
young man who, only a month before, was completely unknown. Yet on that summer day in 1927 his name was on the world's lips
Charles Lindbergh, the first man to fly the Atlantic alone.
He had been an air mail pilot, flying back and forth between Chicago and the city of St. Louis. Determined to win the $ 25,000 prize offered by a fellow-American for the first flight from New York to Paris, Lindbergh had persuaded a group of St. Louis businessmen to finance the building of a special plane for him.
The news that Lindbergh intended to fly the Atlantic alone was received with disbelief. The plane would never fly, people said. It would run out of fuel. It had only a single engine. Lloyds of London refused to insure the flight. Men called Lindbergh the “flying fool”.
But on May 20th, 1927, just after ten to eight in the morning, Lindbergh's “Spirit of St. Louis”, heavily laden with fuel, struggled into the air from a New York airfield. For several hours the weight of the petrol prevented the young pilot from flying more than a few feet above the wave-tops. Night came and thick fog covered up the stars. Lindbergh flew steadily on, hoping that his course was the right one. He struggled to keep awake, checking the fuel all the time to keep his mind active. Throughout the next day the “Spirit of St. Louis” flew on over the seemingly limitless sea. Then a fishing boat appeared, and, an hour later, land. It was Ireland. Lindbergh set a compass course for Paris.
By ten o'clock the lights of France's capital were shining beneath him. Tired, unshaved, suddenly hungry, the “flying fool” came down to Le Bourget airport, and landed in front of a huge crowd of wildly cheering people. After 34 hours of continuous piloting, the flight of 3,600 miles was over.
1．The British Minister of Air ________.
[ ]
A．praised Lindbergh for his intelligence
B．encouraged Lindbergh to be more adventurous
C．congratulated Lindbergh for his bravery
D．warned Lindbergh not to fly alone
2．“His name was on the world's lips” means ________.
[ ]
A．everybody was drinking to his health
B．everybody was jumping about because of him
C．he became suddenly umpopular
D．everybody was talking about him
3．Which of the following is true?
[ ]
A．Nobody at all believed that it was foolish for anybody to try to fly the Atlantic.
B．Everybody knew that Lindbergh was very brave and adventurous.
C．People didn't believe that Lindbergh really meant to fly the Atlantic alone.
D．Everybody believed that it was foolish for anybody to try to fly the Atlantic at all.
4．The “Spirit of St. Louis” here refers to ________.
[ ]
A．the plane Lindbergh flew in
B．the “flying fool”
C．the hope of the people of St. Louis
D．the city of St. Louis

The prizes are awarded by the Nobel foundation for outstanding achievements or contributions in five areas. A prize is given in chemistry, physics, medicine or physiology, literature and peace. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been awarded the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money.
Often a prize is awarded to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be awarded to two or more people who have worked together to reach a goal. Since the Nobel Prizes are international prizes, scientists, inventors, writers, and diplomats from all countries may receive a prize. Sometimes, two people from countries with different political views may even share a prize. An example of this is the 1973 Peace Prize, which was awarded to Henry Kissinger of the United States and to Le Due Tho of North Vietnam for the Vietnam peace negotiations. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given. If there is not outstanding achievement in one of the five areas, no prize is given in that area. In 1972, for example, no Nobel peace prize was given.
Someone must decide whether or not to give an award. The process of nominating and choosing Nobel Prize winners have two parts. First, nominations, or recommendations, of people who might deserve a Nobel Prize, are made. The nominations in physics and chemistry are made by the Royal Academy of Science in Stockholm. The nominations in medicine or physiology are made by the Caroline Medical Institute, which is also in Stockholm. The Swedish Academy, along with the French and Spanish Academies, makes nominations in literature. The peace prize nominations are made by a committee of the Norwegian government. Many nominations are made in each area. Nominations from these groups begin the process of choosing the Nobel Prize winners.
The second part of the process of choosing Nobel Prize winners is to decide which of the nominees deserves the award in each area. This decision is made by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. The Foundation may decide to give the awards to an individual or to several people in each area. Or the Foundation may decide not to give a prize at all in any area.
1. A Nobel Prize is given in the form of ________.
A. a large sum of money
B. a diploma and a gold medal
C. a large amount of money together with a gold medal and a diploma
D. a prize certificate
2. The 1973 Peace Prize was awarded to ________.
A. two persons B. Henry Kissinger
C. Le Due Tho D. two individuals from different countries
3. Sometimes no prize is awarded when ________.
A. there is no remarkable achievement in that area
B. there is no suitable nomination
C. there is a war
D. there is financial shortage
4. The decision of literature prize winner is made by ________.
A. the Swedish Academy and the French and Spanish Academies
B. the Nobel Foundation
C. a committee for the Norwegian government
D. the Royal Academy of Science in Stockholm

C
The French submarine is called Le Triomphant, meaning“the winner”．The name of the British submarine is Vanguard，meaning“the leading position in an army”．It’s clear from the submarines’names that they were made for victory．
However，it was an accident，rather than a victory，that led these two submarines to recently make news headlines across the world．
On February 16，Britain and France admitted that two of their nuclear—armed submarines，HMS Vanguard and Le Triomphant，collided while deep in the Atlantic in early February．Both submarines were on secret patrols(巡逻)and carrying nuclear arms when they collided．
Le Triomphant had no idea that it had run into HMS Vanguard until several days later．The French navy at first believed that Le Triomphant had hit an“object，probably a container(集装箱)”．
Investigations have begun to work out how such a collision could have happened．Both submarines are equipped with state-of～the—art(最先进的)technology that is supposed to find other submarines．Yet，neither submarine saw the other until it was too late．
One idea being considered was that their anti-sonar(抗声纳)equipment，which hides submarines，was just too effective in hiding one from the other．
Submarines use sonar to sense what is in the sea near them．Sonar is a submarine’s ear．Many sea animals use sonar as well．Dolphins produce high-pitched(声调高的)clicks．when these clicks hit an object，some of the sound will echo(发出回声)back to the“sender”．By listening to the echo and working out the time it took before the echo came back，the dolphin can work out how far away the object is．
There are two kinds of sonar：active sonar，which sends out signals，and passive sonar，which listens for signals with extremely sensitive microphones．
The two submarines were designed to be very quiet and as hidden as possible．because a submarine’s job description(工作职责)is not to be found．Many modern submarines do not use active sonar，only passive sonar．This makes it very difficult for a submarine to“hear”if another submarine is near．
Britain’s Ministry of Defense(国防部) has said the collision did not lead to any radioactive leaks(放射物泄漏)．The chance of a full nuclear explosion was almost impossible．However，experts say that if the walls of the submarines had broken，or a fire had been started，there could have been a major disaster．
A senior British Navy source told The Sun newspaper that the possible consequences of such a collision were“unthinkable”．
“It’s very unlikely there would have been a nuclear explosion．But a radioactive leak was a possibilitv．That would have been a national disaster．”he said．
64、What has made HMS Vanguard and Le Triomphant well known recently?
A、l heir names carried very positive meanings．．
B、They collided in the Atlantic this February．
C、They are both equipped with advanced technology．
D、They are both nuclear—armed submarines．
65、What’s the probable reason for the accident?
A、The two submarines were moving at a high speed．
B、Their anti—sonar equipment was too effective．
C、They were not equipped with active sonar．．
D、The submarines were designed to be too quiet．
66、Which of the following is the right order in which the dolphin senses the object’s position?
a、The sound hitting the object．
b、Producing high—pitched sound．
c、The sound echoing back．
d、Working out the time to come back．
e、Receiving the sound．
A、b一a—c—d—e B、d—a—e—c—b C、b—c—d—a—e D、b—a—c—e—d
67、Which of the following is NOT true about the passage?
A、Both of the submarines carried nuclear arms when they collided．
B、Many modern submarines do not use passive sonar so as to be as hidden as possible．
C、The collision may have caused a disaster if a fire had been started．
D、There would have been a nuclear explosion if the two submarines had collided harder．

PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. (15%)
A
The Olympic flame:
The Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a sacred (神圣的) flame burned at the altar（神坛）of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932.
Carl Diem, chairman of the organising committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted, and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.
The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner.
Olympic motto:
“Citius, altius, fortius” is a Latin phrase meaning “swifter, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris. Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.
Olympic oath(宣誓)
“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.”
Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes’ oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath, with slightly different wording.
66. The Olympic flame was first burned at _______ in modern times.
A. the 1920 Games B. the 1924 Games
C. the 1932 Games D. the 1936 Games
67. From the passage we can learn ________.
A. before 1936, no flames burned at the Olympic Games
B. the first torch relay was held at the 1936 Berlin Games
C. Carl Diem proposed that flames should burn at the Olympic Games
D. The Olympic torch has burned since 1924
68. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. There was no athlete’s oath in the 1896 Olympic Games.
B. The 1920 Olympic games was held in Amsterdam.
C. The judge from the host country takes the same oath as the athletes does.
D. Dideon wrote Citius, Altius, Fortius for the Olympic Games.
