    “Are you too stupid to do anything right?” These words — said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son — were spoken  26  he had walked away from her. The boy returned, his eyes downcast.
    Not a  27  moment, perhaps,   28  small moments last a very long time. And a few words — though they mean  29  at the time to the people who say them — can have great  30  .
    I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff. For the last 24 years he has been a professional  31  . Here is what he told me:
    As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly  32  . He had few  33  and no self-confidence. One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment . The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Now they were to write their own chapter that would  34  the last chapter of the novel.
    Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it  35  . Today he can not recall anything  36  about the chapter he wrote, or what  37  Mrs Brach gave him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs Brach wrote in margin（空白）of the paper: “This is  38  writing.”
    Four words. They  39  his life.
    “  40  I read those words, I had no ideal of who I was or  41  I was going to be,” he said. “After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been  42  of doing but never believed I could do.”
    Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs Brach to evaluate. She was  43  , tough and honest. “She was just what I  44  ,” Dalkoff said.
    His confidence  45  . Dalkoff believed that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of the paper.

    Watercolor is the oldest paints known. It dates back to the early cave men who discovered they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures on the walls of caves by mixing the natural colors found in the earth with water.
    Fresco(壁画), one of the greatest of all art forms, is done with watercolor. It is created by mixing paints and water and applying these to wet plaster(灰泥). Of the thousands of people who stand under Michelangelo's heroic ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, very few know that they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.
    The invention of oil painting by the Flemish masters in the fifteenth century made fresco painting go down-hill, and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly for doing sketches(素描) or as a tool for study. It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters put back watercolor as a serious art form. The English have a widely-known love for the outdoors and also small, private pictures. The softness of watercolor had a remarkably strong attraction for them.
    The popularity of watercolor continued to grow until in the twentieth century. The United States passed England as the center for watercolor, producing such well-known watercolor artists as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．The gradual weakness of fresco painting.
    B．Oils having more power or influence over watercolor.
    C．The rediscovery of watercolor in England.
    D．The start and development of watercolor.
    小题2:The first watercolor artists were ______.
    A．early cave menB．Italian fresco artists
    C．Flemish mastersD．English artists of the 18th century
    小题3:In 16th and 17th centuries the artists thought ______.
    A．watercolor was more costly, but was better
    B．oil painting lasted less long, but clearer and brighter
    C．watercolor was not suitable for finished works
    D．oil painting was difficult to use
    小题4:According to the passage, watercolor painting was put back in England because ______.
    A.it was easy to use outdoors                      B.it was a strong medium
    B.it was extremely bright in color               D.it was well suited to popular tastes
    小题5:What would the next paragraph most probably deal with?
    A．The works of famous American watercolor artists.
    B．The weakness of oils as popular paints.
    C．Techniques of producing watercolor.
    D．Modern American oil painters.

    Just as mankind has always had a desire to fly, the human race has wanted to swim under the water since prehistoric times. Pictures of primitive devices to enable people to breathe underwater have been found dating from 3000 years ago, but our dream of moving freely beneath the ocean waves for long periods of time was only realized about 60 years ago, when French diving legend Jacques Cousteau developed the first practical Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus(SCUBA). Since then the sport of SCUBA diving has gone from strength to strength.
    Lovers of SCUBA diving like the feeling of weightlessness, the peace and quiet under the water, the ability to move in three dimensions and the sense of adventure they get while on a dive. SCUBA divers often travel to some of the most beautiful and remote places in the world in the search for rare underwater flora and fauna(动、植物). Palau, The Red Sea, The Maldives and Hawaii have many of the most popular diving sites, but recreational divers often have to make do with less exotic local destinations, like the North Sea in Britain.
    SCUBA diving is not without its dangers, however. The mixture of nitrogen and oxygen divers breathe underwater, combined with the pressure under the water can be deadly if a diver rises too quickly to the surface, causing a condition called ‘the bends’. Divers can also get lost or trapped when diving on wrecks, and fatalities(死亡)are particularly common in cave diving, where divers add to the dangers of diving by swimming through underground caves filled with water. Diving can also be harmful to the underwater environment. However with proper precautions diving can open up a whole new world, far from the stresses of daily life.
    63. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
    A. Advertise some popular diving sites.
    B. Describe how to dive underwater.
    C. Warn people against diving in the sea.
    D. Give information about SCUBA diving.
    64. What can the reader learn from the text?
    A. There is uncertainty about SCUBA diving safety.
    B. Divers have caused a lot of damage to the environment.
    C. SCUBA diving is an old sport with a long history.
    D. Divers always face the pressures in their life.
    65. How might the writer describe SCUBA diving?
    A. Interesting.   B. Relaxing.   C. Frightening         D. Unpleasant.
    66. What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?
    A. Getting out to dive underwater.   B. Stopping damaging environment.
    C. Making better use of SCUBA.       D. Getting over the troubles of daily life.

    Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach about who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer′s background, personality, status, mood, and social outlook.
    　　Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to influence people′s impression of us. Our appearance takes on particular significance in the initial phases of interaction. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated (疏远) by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person′s education, background, or interests.
    　　People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits (套装), including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters and announcers on TV are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. College students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say the costumes they wear change the way they feel about themselves and how they act. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you face a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance.
    　　In the workplace, men have long had well-defined role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of “masculine”（男性）and “feminine”（女性）characteristics they should convey to men.
    　　Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less “feminine” grooming (打扮)— shorter hair, moderate use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, “An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won′t get a job.”
    57. According to paragraph two, an elderly middle-class man and     unconventionally-dressed young man are unlikely to____.
    A. understand each other's lifestyle
    B. share the same background or interests
    C. influence their impressions of each other
    D. interact in a positive way
    58. The author uses the newscasters' example to show the idea that____.
    A. certain clothing gives people more confidence
    B. clothes have nothing to do with one's abilities
    C. we tend to label people by their clothes
    D. competent people always dress conventionally
    59. Men's professional clothing can best be described as "_____".
    A. conventional                B. individualistic
    C. out-of-date                 D. changeless
    60. How should professional women dress according to the passage?
    A. They must be dressed conservatively.
    B. They don't have a certain dressing style to follow.
    C. They choose either masculine or feminine clothing.
    D. They can't wear unconventional outfits.

    The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan! We’re friends.” “I’d rather pay,” I replied. “If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”
    Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!
    According to the Americans “There’s no free lunch.” meaning, there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means.
    Many of our neighbors have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.
    I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind (磨) flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granting (花岗石).
    Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash can’t compensate (补偿) for the greatest gift—friendship.
    When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty of to do. But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I”
    And I joined the group. We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived. One man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now they’re taller than you. How time flies!”
    How time flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know, which they cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.
    So the next time someone says, “No charge. We’re friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.
    69.Why did the author insist paying the repairman when he was offered free repairs?
    A. Because he was an upright (正直的) man.
    B. Because he didn’t know the repairman.
    C. Because he thought it natural to pay for others’ service.
    D. Because he didn’t want to help others in return.
    70. Generally, the author thinks that _____ .
    A. Chinese are generous and always ready to help their friends
    B. Chinese are good at exchange of equal values
    C. Chinese are free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends
    D. Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time
    71. The best title of the article should be _____ .
    A. Still no free lunch
    B. A good lesson from the Chinese
    C. True help or not
    D. Learn to both give and receive        
    72. Which of the following is TRUE?
    A. Chinese seldom refuse payment for professional services.
    B. When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself
    C. The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy their life.
    D. Finally, the author changed his mind and decided to do as the Chinese do.

    Dear Ralf,
    I have received your letter from school and am glad to know that you are becoming responsible(有责任的)enough to decide on your career.
    You are now in the final year of college and are about to start more independent life in society. You know that a generation divides us, and the conditions of social life were different in my days. However, all I can say as advice is that you must select a career wisely. The first consideration is your interest. You can only succeed and feel happy when you do something you enjoy. Your job must be both gainful and satisfying. Then, you must read up on the latest books on the field you are aiming at. Also, you should get familiar with the men and women in the profession of that field. When mind and heart function together, success is inevitable(必然的).
    No career is more or less important than any other career. It takes different people to operate the machine of life. I think your interest may lie in the field of making TV programs. Your great communication skills, your active participation(参与) in school plays and the prizes you have won in speech competitions all point in that direction. So a career in Mass Communication and TV film production proves suitable for you. If you succeed and make it in that field, fame and treasure will both follow.
    Think a thousand times before making any final decision regarding your career. Anyhow, I want you to be a man of success.
    I know that you are mature(成熟的) enough to think for yourself.
    With all the best wishes!
    Your loving father
    56. We can infer that Ralf wrote a letter to ask for advice on how to ________.
    A. prepare for a competition.                         B. communicate with others
    C. choose a career                                         D. get good marks
    57. What can we know about Ralf?
    A. He has graduated from college.               B. He gets on badly with his father.
    C. He has taken part in school plays.           D. He won prizes in the field of making films.
    58. Ralf’s father thinks that ________.
    A. fame is more important than treasure
    B. every career is of the same importance
    C. Ralf is too young to make a decision himself
    D. there is no real understanding between parents and children
    59. The father suggests that his son should ____________.
    A. consider his interest first when choosing a career.
    B. make friends with successful people.
