    How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; 26 ,the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, 27 animals, somehow 28 certain sounds to express thoughts, actions, and things, 29 they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed 30 certain signs, 31 letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and 32 could be written down. These sounds, 33 spoken, or written in letters, we call words. The 34 of words, then, lies in their associations---the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with 35 for us by experience. 36 we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our 37 and the more we read and learn, the more 38 words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those 39 not only have great thoughts but also 40 these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is 41 we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a matter of 42 . he can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can 43 men to tears.

What you need is to change your eating habits forever. You begin by keeping a complete record of what, where, when and how you eat. Once you understand your bad eating habits, you will find it easier to exchange them for good ones. So keep a diary answering the following questions: 1. What do I eat during a day? Record every bit of food and drink you put in your mouth. This includes that cracker you ate while opening the can of soup. It includes that Coca Cola you sipped from your friend’s glass. It includes your chewing gum. And remember when you stuck your finger I the peanut butter jar. Remember everything! Most people are astonished at what they eat and drink in one day. Behavior Change: Make a list of what you plan to eat during the day and follow your plan. 2. Where and when you eat? Do you eat standing or lying? Do you eat while cooking, reading watching TV or driving? Do you eat when upset, angry, worried, or hurried? Do you reward or punish yourself with food? Behavior Change: Eat three planned meals only. Sit up straight at your table. Do nothing but eat. 3. How do I eat ? Most of us eat on the run. When we eat fast , our stomachs don’t get the message that we are full. So we keep eating. Behavior Change: look at your food . Give yourself a chance to resist its sight and small. Chew slowly. Cut up your food into small pieces and eat one piece at a time. Let your food digest and listen to the message from your stomach before you reach for seconds. 46. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Don’t worry if you are overweight. B. Eat less and drink less if you are overweight. C. This passage urges you to lose weight by changing you eating habits. D. Keep good eating habits whatever and however you eat. 47 The sentence “Most people are astonished at what they eat and drink inone day implies . A. we don’t know how much we eat B. we eat so little in one day C. we eat too much in one day D. we eat a lot in one day 48. The underlined word “cracker in the third paragraph probably means . A. a kind of food B. a kind of drink C. a way you eat D. a tool for opening a can 49. The author suggests that you should not reach your hand for some more food . A. before you feel full B. after you get the message that you are full C. before you get the message that you are full D. after your food digests B A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children’s safety on the roads. Until now the local government have been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school. The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington School and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than £20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan. 50. What is the aim of the plan? A. To prevent the students’ road accident. B. To relieve the traffic pressure. C. To save time for the parents and students. D. To help the parents save money 51. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost? A. By letting the bus run in the morning only. B. By limiting the number of the students. C. By getting the support from the headmaster. D. By linking the new bus service with the existing one. 52. Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out? A. The bus company will make much more money. B. The children can choose whatever school they like. C. The parents can get rid of their worries. D. The students in Impington school can have free bus rides. 53. This passage is most probably . A. a personal letter B. an advertisement C. a headmaster’s report D. a newspaper article C Grown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding? To see whether babies know objects are solid, T.Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusionof a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could reach out and touch, and then to show them the illusion. If they knew that objects are solid, and they show surprise in their faces and reach out for the illusion and found empty air, they could be expected movements. All the 16-to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there. Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear or go to never-never land? Experiments done by bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear. If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch. Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence, while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object. 54. The passage is mainly about . A. babies’ sense of sight B. effects of experiments on babies C. babies’ understanding of objects D. different tests on babies’ feelings 55. In Paragraph 3, “object permanence means that when out of sight, an object . A. still exists B. keeps its shape C. still stays solid D. is beyond reach 56. What did Bower use in his experiment? A. A chair B. A screen C. A film D. A box 57. Which of the following statements is true? A. The babies didn’t have a sense of direction. B. The older babies preferred toy trains to balls C. The younger babies liked looking for missing objects. D. The babies couldn’t tell a ball from its optical illusion. 【查看更多】

    　　On May 21, 2000, some American scientists were working at the computers to look for information they needed . Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright red spots crossing the computers’ screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses (病毒). Obviously all these computers had been infected by computer viruses.

    It is said that the computer viruses were made by two or three Philippine young men fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence. The kind of computer virus is named I Love You Virus. This virus can hide in computers for long. When the time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the important functions, damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of a great deal of information which operators of the computers often use or store, what’s worse, it still can reproduce itself in great quantities within a short time.

    We come to know that “I Love You” Virus often attacks computers on Mondays and that it is spreading to many computers in the world. Among the countries that suffered computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the USA. Those who made the computer muses have been found out slowly and carefully. But till now, how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem.

    　　West Point is a college for future army officers．It has more than four thousand students, called cadets(士官生)．The school is located about eighty kilometers north of New York City．

    　　West Point is the oldest continuously occupied military post in the United States．General George Washington built a fort(要塞)there during the Revolutionary War to protect the Hudson River from the British．He moved his headquarters to West Point in seventeen seventy-nine in the middle of the war．

    　　In eighteen hundred and two, President Thomas Jefferson signed legislation(立法)to establish the military academy．The education centered on civil engineering．West Point graduates designed many roads, bridges, harbors and railways for the young nation．

    　　Today, math and science are still a large part of the education．But cadets can choose from almost fifty areas of study．If cadets major in the humanities(人文学科), they must have an engineering minor(副科)．

    　　Not all the young men and women at West Point are American．This year, fifty-eight are from other countries．Up to sixty cadets can be international students．

    　　International students are chosen by their governments．They must satisfy physical and educational requirements and do well in the Test of English as a Foreign Language．After graduation, they return home to serve in their nation's armed forces．Other services besides the Army also accept foreign students at their academies．

    　　Major Joe Sowers, a West Point public affairs officer, says information is available through American embassies．He says the presence of international students at West Point serves a purpose for the Army．He says：“Cultural understanding, cultural awareness is essential for a modern-day officer．Now we have cadets from Panama and cadets from African countries, which doesn't necessarily increase your knowledge on how to interact in Iraq or Afghanistan．At least not specifics, anyway．But you’ve begun the process of understanding that the world is bigger than your hometown and West Point and the United States of America．But I think the big reward is at the individual cadet level, establishing relationships with those who come from much, much different backgrounds．”
