    I paid a visit to Cambridge last January.  Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit.
    The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived，which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting，one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, “Either you get off or sit down.” To him, safety is the first policy.
    Cambridge consists of over thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s.The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings（出租房）and move into college for their final year.
    Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town；it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops，pubs，and supermarkets，but most of it is university-colleges，departments，libraries，clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops，cafes，banks and churches，making these as well part of the university.
    With over 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break，better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions，carrying students from one college or lecture room to another.
    小题1:The writer believed that the trip took more time because of________
    A．bad weatherB．unexpected stops of the bus
    C．one passengerD．an accident on the way
    小题2:Why is Cambridge called a university town？
    A．It has 10，000 undergraduates and postgraduates.
    B．There are over thirty colleges in the town.
    C．All the students and staff live in the town.
    D．The university and town are fully combined.
    小题3:It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take _______as their first means of transport.
    A．boatsB．carsC．bicycles D．buses

    小题1:B
    小题2:D
    小题3:C

    试题分析：本文描写了我去剑桥参观的情况。
    小题1:根据So he pulled up and said seriously, “Either you get off or sit down.” To him, safety is the first policy，可知选B。
    小题2:根据Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city，可知D。
    小题3:根据Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break，better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions，故选C。

    “How was school, Ben?” I asked my grandson after he began kindergarten(幼儿园) this year. “The work is too long… and there’s not enough time to play,” he replied.
    I couldn’t help but remember Ben’s own mother, my daughter, Jane, and her reaction(反应) to the first day of school. Julie was also disappointed with the first day of school and so was her little sister. My three-year-old daughter announced angrily after her big sister got on the big yellow school bus, “I want to go ‘sool’ and you not let me!”
    When Julie returned home that afternoon, I asked her the same question that I asked Ben, “How was school, Julie?” Julie replied, “I didn’t learn to read today.”
    This year as the school bus passed my house, my mind went back to those school days again. I could almost smell the chalk dust in the air. I also wonder what the children these days manage to get chosen to do in order to get out of school for a few moments since there are no erasers to clean. It was fun to be “chosen” for eraser cleaning duty. This was a task finished by going outside and beating erasers together while sneezing and coughing. No wonder so many babies now have allergies(过敏症), and it’s simply because we all have chalk dust in our lungs!
    On the first day of school, the expectation was so great that I would be ready long before it was time to leave for school. We didn’t have backpacks because we had cigar boxes. We carried our small supplies inside a cigar box from one of the local stores. We saved the cigar boxes and used them from year to year until they fell apart.
    The first day of school was exciting. It was a new beginning. The doors of knowledge had been opened. The first day of school is an event in our lives that most of us remember. It’s a big step for a small child toward leaving babyhood and so “there isn’t enough time to play”.
    小题1:Why did Jane become angry according to the passage?
    A．Because she didn’t learn to read on the first day of school.
    B．Because there was too much work for her to do at school.
    C．Because she had no time to play at school.
    D．Because she was not allowed to go to school.
    小题2:The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggests that       .
    A．the author was thinking of her school days jokingly
    B．the author warned students against the harm of chalk dust
    C．the author suffered from an allergy because of chalk dust
    D．the author doubted whether her lungs had chalk dust
    小题3:In the opinion of the author, the first day of school is        .
    A．a day when a child is the happiest
    B．a day when a child does much work
    C．the beginning of great learning
    D．the end of childhood full of toys

    I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development, I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.
    Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
    It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
    Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample（样本）of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeding style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.
    I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.
    小题1:What does the author think about Dr King?
    A．He is strictB．He is unkind
    C．He has the wrong idea.D．He sets a timetable for mothers
    小题2:The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to __________.
    A．basicB．reliableC．surprisingD．interesting
    小题3:What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?
    A．The baby will sleep well.
    B．The baby will have its brain harmed.
    C．The baby will have a low blood sugar level.
    D．The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.
    小题4:The author supports feeding the baby __________.
    A．in the nightB．every four hours
    C．whenever it wants foodD．according to its blood sugar level

    The price of milk may be going up. There was not enough rain in some parts of the country last year and the bad weather may mean that a gallon (加仑) of milk will cost 41 cents more after October 1st.
    California already has high milk prices and the California court does not want the price to go any higher. High milk prices will be very hard for some people. Families with many children will have to spend more money to buy milk. The poor and older people without much money will also be hurt by higher prices.
    The court said that more milk from other states should be sold in California as the price of milk from other states is not as high. Some states got enough rain so their costs did not go up. People will then be able to buy the cheaper milk, meaning that unless milk producers bring their milk prices down, their milk will not sell.
    The drought (干旱) around the country has meant market forces are likely to push milk prices up by as much as 41-cent a gallon by October 1st. Experts said this decision by the Californian court could reduce (减少) the effect of the price rise here.
    The 41-cent increase would add to California’s already high milk prices so California must allow more milk producers from outside the state to sell their products there. This would then lead to increased supplies (供应), which would, as a result, stop milk prices from increasing.
    小题1:Who will be hurt by high milk prices?
    A．Young people.B．Milk producers from outside California.
    C．Rich people.D．Families with lots of children.
    小题2:What caused milk prices in California to increase?
    A．Short supplies from other states.B．Being short of rain.
    C．The California court.D．Children’s need for milk.
    小题3:What will California do to keep milk prices down?
    A．Force milk producers to lower their price.
    B．Encourage people to drink less milk.
    C．Get men to produce more rain.
    D．Increase the supply of milk in the state.

    What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I    21  an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against   22  of 100, scored 160．No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me.

    Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
    If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
    If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
    If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.
    If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
    小题1:According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality _______.
    A．only in a normal night
    B．only when you go to sleep
    C．only when you refuse to show yourself to the world
    D．only when you change sleeping position
    小题2:Maybe you don’t want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why?
    A．He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.
    B．He or she is rarely ready to help you.
    C．He or she prefers staying at home to going out.
    D．He or she wouldn’t like to get help from you.
    小题3: It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because _______.
    A．he or she always shows sympathy for people
    B．he or she is confident, but not stubborn
    C．he or she has more strengths than weakness
    D．he or she often considers annoying people
    小题4:The writer of the passage is probably a _______.
    A．novelistB．reporterC．psychologistD．professor
