He always likes to attend the various social function

16、s because he wants to expand his circle of friends . Whenever he is invited, he goes , unless he is ill .Recently he received an invitation to a fashionable banquet . Although he did not know the hostess , he accepted the invitation . He was secretly very pleased , because he felt that his reputatio

17、n as a desirable guest was growing .When he arrived at the banquet hall , he found that about one hundred people had been invited . He began to move around the hall . He spoke to other guests whether he knew them or not . He soon realized that he had never met any of the other people present , altho

18、ugh they seemed to know each other .At dinner he was seated beside a very dignified woman . The woman tried to be friendly even though she had never met Mr. Smith before . She spoke politely whenever he spoke to her . Between the first and the second course of the meal , she , turned to Mr. Smith an

19、d said , “Do you see that gray-haired man at the end of the table ? The one with glasses .”“Ah , yes . Who is he ?”“Hes the Secretary of the Interior !” she replied .Mr . Smith said , “So thats the Secretary of the Interior ! Im afraid that I find very little to admire about him, although he is the

20、Secretary .”The woman stiffened and did not reply . Mr. Smith continued in spite of her coldness . “I really cant see how he received his appointment unless he is perhaps a relative of the President .”“It hardly matters whether you like the Secretary or not , ”she said . “He was chosen because the P

21、resident thought he was the man for the job . If he does the job well , you should have no complaint .”“Thats just it,” persisted Mr. Smith . “No one does the things he does , unless he is a complete fool ! ”“Sir !” said the woman in all her dignity . “Do you know who I am ?” “No,” replied Mr. Smith

22、 .“I am the Secretarys wife ,” she said coldly . Mr. Smith was shocked , but he went on in spite of his embarrassment . “Madam , do you know who I am ?”“No , I dont ,” the woman replied .“Thank goodness !” exclaimed Mr. Smith , as he quickly left the table .41Why is Mr. Smith well known in Washingto

23、n ?AHes the Secretary of the Interior .BHe has more friends than other people .CHe always makes foolish mistakes on social occasions .DHe likes to go to all kinds of parties .42At dinner he was seated beside a very dignified woman . The underlined part means .Abeautiful Bserious Cnoble Dkind-hearted

24、 43When Mr. Smith learned that the woman didnt know who he was , he felt Ashocked Bworried Cembarrassed Drelieved BBiomass energy (生物能), often forgotten as promising alternative （替代物）to oil , received its day in the sun with the gathering of the Bio-Energy World Congress and Exposition in Atlanta ,

25、Georgia , late in April , 1990 . Nearly 1700 scientists , businessmen , and policy-makers , one-quarter from the foreign nations, gathered for a week to discuss various means of squeezing usable energy out of trees , crops manure , seaweed , algae and urban waste . Biomass in the United States contr

26、ibutes 2.5 percent of the total supply , but this amount can be doubled by 2000 and then doubled again by the year 2010. Eight percent of Swedens energy supply , for example , is presently coming from wood bark and pulp remains . Sweden intends to raise this percentage by more intensive harvesting o

27、f waste food lying around in forests , and through the planting of so-called energy forests of fast-growing trees such as willow and birch .Brazil is frequently pointed to as a nation with a major successful investment (投资) in energy coming from grains : it presently runs 330,000 automobiles on a wa

28、ter and alcohol (酒精) mixture , replacing 10 percent of its previous oil supply . Brazilian representatives (代表) at the conference said they wish to double this in five years , with a final goal of total replacement . Most of the cars are built at the factory to use the mixture , while older models a

29、re changed through low-cost government programs .44In Line 2, the phrase received its day in the sun most probably means .Acame to the public mind Bhad its turn in the sunlight Cwas regarded as a solar energy Dcame from the energy of the sun45Which of the following statements is supported by the pas

30、sage ?A1700 scientists attended the conference .BA quarter of American businessmen were present at the conference .CForeign policy-makers accounted for a quarter .DThree-quarters of the representatives were from the U.S.46Of the total supply twenty years later , biomass in the U. S. will be .A5%B20%

31、C10%D15%47Which of the following is not regarded as biomass energy ?AWillow and seaweed .BWood and grains .CWater and alcohol mixture .DCrops and oil mixture .48A suitable title for this passage would be .AAn energy Conference BApproval of Biomass Energy CBio-Energy for Automobiles DKeys to Energy C

32、risis CInsurance (保险) is the sharing of risks . Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort . The house owner ,for example , knows that his property can be damaged by fire ; the ship-owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea ; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave

33、his family the poorer . On the other hand , not every house is damaged by fire nor every vessel lost at sea . If these persons each put a small sum into a pool , there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss . In other words , the losses of the few are met from the contributio

34、ns of the many . This is the basis of insurance . Those who pay the contribution are known as “insure” and those who administer the pool of contributions as “insurers”.Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance . Broadly speaking , the ordinary risks of business and speculation cann

35、ot be covered . The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not of a kind that can be statistically estimated （评估）and risks can only be insured against if they can be so estimated .The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy” ! This is a printed form of contract on paper of

36、the best quality . It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money , called the “premium”, which is usually paid every year , the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss , if the risk or event insured against actually happens . The wording of

37、policies , particularly in marine insurance , often seems very old-fashioned , but there is a sound reason for this . Over a large number of years many law cases have been brought to clear up the meanings of doubtful phrases in policies . The law courts , in their judgments , have given these phrase

38、s a definite and indisputable meaning , and to avoid future disputes the phrases have continued to be used in policies even when they have passed out of normal use in speech .49According to this passage , insurance is possible because .Aeveryone at some time suffers loss Bonly a small proportion of

39、the insured suffer loss Cnearly everyone suffers loss Donly insured people suffer loss 50By “ the pool of contributions” the writer means .Amoney paid by the insured Bmoney paid by the insurers Cthe cost of administering insurance Dthe mount of each premium 51Old-fashioned wording is sometimes used

40、in insurance because .Ainsurance is old-fashioned Binsurance has existed for a long time Cit enables ordinary people to understand it Dthe meaning of such wording has been agreed upon 52The writer of this passage seems to think that insurance is .Aa form of gambling Ba way of making money quickly Co

41、ld-fashioned Duseful and necessary DFrom good reading we can get pleasure , companionship , experience and instruction . A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even ourselves . Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in l

42、ife . It increases our contentment when we are cheerful , and lessens our trouble when we are sad . Whatever may be our main purpose in reading , our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction .With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely . Whether the c

43、haracters portrayed are taken from real life or purely imaginary , they may become our companions and friends . In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times . The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble (像) human friends whom we

44、hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances (相识) . Our human friends sometimes may bore us , but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company . By turning the page we can dismiss without any fear of hurting their feelings

45、 . When human friends desert (抛弃) us , good books are always ready to give us friendship , sympathy and encouragement .One of the most valuable gifts bestowed (授予) by books is experience . Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences , but all of us can lead varied lives th

46、rough the pages of books . whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or we long to visit some far-off place , a book will help us when nothing else can . To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way , no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to t

47、ransport us , no passport to enter the land of our hearts desire . Through books we may get the excitement of dangerous adventure without danger . We can climb noble mountains , brave the freeze of an Antarctic winter , or cross the scorching (灼热) sands of a desert , all without hardship . In books

48、we may visit the studio of Hollywood ; we may mix with the cheerful crowds of the Paris roads ; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a south Sea island . Indeed , through books the world is ours for the asking . The possibilities of our literary experien

49、ces are almost unlimited . The beauties of nature , the enjoyment of music , the treasures of art , the success of architecture , the marvels (惊奇) of engineering , are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read .53The main idea of the first paragraph is that .Awe should always read good

50、books , not bad ones Bhappiness can be gained only from reading Cenjoyment and satisfaction can be achieved by reading good books Dreading good books is very important in human life 54How does the writer account for the fact that people like their acquaintances in books even more ?AThey never hurt o

51、ur feelings . BThey never desert us .CThey are more lovely than our friends in real life .DThey are exactly the same as our human friends .55What does the writer imply in the sentence “Indeed , through books the whole world is ours for the asking”?AHe implies that we can make a round-the-world trip

52、free of charge .BHe implies that we can ask to go anywhere in the world .CHe implies that in books the world is more accessible (易接近) to us .DHe implies that we can make a demand for everything in this world .E“Ive changed my mind . I wanted to have a telescope , but now I want my dad back .” Lucien

53、 Lawrences letter to Father Christmas written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gate , must have touched every heart .Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldnt see the stars in the sky . When those whom we love depart from us , we cannot see th

54、e stars for a while .But Lucien , the stars are still there , and one day , when you are older and your tears have gone , you will see them again. And , in a strange way , I expect that you will find your father is there too , in your mind and in your heart . I find that my parents , long dead now ,

55、 still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive . I still live to please them and Im still surprised by their reactions . I remember that when I became a professor , I was so proud , or rather so pleased with myself , that I couldnt wait

56、to cable my parents . The reply was a long time in coming , but when it did , all Mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children !” I havent forgotten . The values of my parents still live on .It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts an

57、d minds of my children and of those for whom I care . Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑衅者), and to lay down my life for those in my care ? How many people would want me back for Christmas ? Its a serious thought , one to give me pause .I pray silently,

58、 sometimes , in the dead of night , that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword , and my darling from the power of the dog .” Yet I know the death comes to us all , and sometimes comes suddenly . We must therefore plan to live forever , but live as if we will die tomorrow . We live on

59、 , Im sure , in the lives of those we loved , and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure . If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true , there might be fewer knives on our streets today .56According to the whole text we can see that the fir

60、st paragraph .Aputs forward the subject of the text Bshows the authors pity on the kid Cacts as an introduction to the discussion Dmakes a clear statement of the authors views 57In the second paragraph the author mainly wants to explain to us .Ahow much he misses his parents now Bwhy his parents oft

61、en appear in his dreams Cwhen Lucien will get over all his sadness Dhow proud he was when he succeeded in life 58What feeling did the authors mother express in her reply ?AProud .BHappy .CDisappointed .DWorried .59In the authors opinion , the value of a persons life is .Ato leave behind a precious m

62、emory to the people related Bto have a high sense of duty to the whole society Cto care what others will remember and treasure Dto share happiness and sadness with his family 60What does the writer mean by the sentence taken from an old poem ?ACall on criminals and murderers to lay down their guns .BAdvise parents stay with their children sa
