Reading Comprehension
Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid got higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea. As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves hit against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being. Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little living things there, Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider made its web uselessly, because there were no insects (昆虫) for its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the first life on this new island.

正确答案：C
Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21,19 in Oak Park, Illinois. In the nearly sixty two years of his life that followed, he built a literary fame unsurpassed (无法超越) in the twentieth century. As a boy he was taught by his father to hunt and fish along the shores and in the forests around Lake Michigan. The Hemingways had a summer house in northern Michigan, and the family would spend the summer months there trying to stay cool. Hemingway would either fish the different streams that ran into the lake, or would take the small boat out to do some fishing there. He would also go squirrel hunting in the woods, discovering early in life the peace to be found while alone in the forest or going through a stream. It was something he could always go back to throughout his life, and though he often found himself living in major cities like Chicago, Toronto and Paris early in his life, once he became successful he chose somewhat isolated places to live in. When he wasn’t hunting or fishing his mother taught him the good points of music. She was a skilled singer who once had wished a life on stage, but at last settled down with her husband and spent her time by giving voice and music lessons to local children, including her own. Hemingway was never talented for music and suffered through singing practices and music lessons, however, the musical knowledge he got from his mother helped him share in his first wife Hadley’s interest in the piano.

正确答案：A
What will man be like in the future-in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool-the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger. Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life. But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald. Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
51． The passage tells us about ( ) .
A．how man’s life will be in the future
B．how future man will look like
C．the fact that man’s organs will function differently in the future
D．the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes
正确答案：B
52． There is evidence that man is changing, ( ).
A．he has been growing taller over the past 500 years
B．he has got stronger eyes than he ever had
C．his hair is getting thinner and thinner
D．his limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them
正确答案：A
53． Man’s forehead will grow larger because ( ).
A．he will make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity
B．the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
C．he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years ago
D．he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on
正确答案：D
54． Future man will probably ( ).
A．have smaller eyes
B．have larger eyes
C．see better
D．have to wear better glasses
正确答案：C
55． The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he ( ).
A．will grow stronger
B．never stops changing
C．hopes for a change
D．will live a different life
正确答案：B
Auctions (拍卖) are public sales of goods, made by an officially approved auctioneer. He asked the crowd assembled in the auction room to make offers, or bids, for the various items on sale. He encouraged buyers to bid higher figures, and finally named the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands. This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum. The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, these sales were called “sub hash”, meaning “under the spear”, a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth century, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight. Practically all goods whose qualities varied are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, hides, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, spices, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art. The auction rooms at Christie’s and Sotheby’s in London and New York are world famous. An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by prospective buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in numerical order; he may wait until he registers the fact that certain dealers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.
56． What does the word “bidder” (in para. 1) mean?
A．A person who sells something
B．A person who buys something
C．A person who offers a price
D．A person who borrows something
正确答案：C
57． Auctioned goods are sold ( ).
A．for the highest price offered
B．only at fixed prices
C．at a price less than their true value
D．cheaply
正确答案：A
58． The end of the bidding is called “knocking down” because ( ).
A．the auctioneer knocks the buyer down
B．the auctioneer knocks the rostrum down
C．the goods are knocked down onto the table
D．the auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer
正确答案：D
59． A candle used to burn at auction sales ( ).
A．because they took place at night
B．as a signal for the crowd to gather
C．to give light to the auctioneer
D．to limit the time when offers could be made
正确答案：D
60． An auction catalogue gives prospective buyers ( ).
A．the current market values of the goods
B．details of the goods to be sold
C．the order in which goods must be sold
D．free admission to the auction sale
正确答案：B

正确答案： Why I Attended College? Why did I choose to attend college? Is the four-year academic life worthwhile? I have put these questions to myself at many times in the past two years, and now I have reached the conclusion that college education is something that I truly want and it is worthwhile. I chose to attend college because I enjoy learning. I felt that I wanted to continue to study, I simply couldn’t end my education upon graduation from the high school and enter the working world so soon. I chose to attend college also because I feel college is more than a place which offers knowledge. It also exposes one to a rich variety of ideas and help. Finally, I feel that in today’s world, a college education has become almost essential if one wishes to compete in the job market. Attending college is a practical and necessary step to ensure a secure future for myself. For these reasons, I never consider myself unhappy, miserable or unfairly burdened, and I never think attending college is a waste of time and money. 下载本文
