15、wd that sets the pace, while the others follow their example. Lets say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters (毛衣). Pretty soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that for some people bright red is rather unsuitable
16、. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the example are putting their lives in danger. They are like sheep being led to the slaughter (屠宰). Now, it is likely that you have come
17、 across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, it is likely that at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it. “ Well, let the crowd do it, but dont do it yourself. Learn to say“No“. Deve
18、lop your own standards and your own judgments. If you know the crowd is planning something of which you disapprove, have the courage to bow out gracefully. You 11 have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.(分数:10.00)(1).The main idea of this passage is that_.(分数:2.00)A.in every school th

22、od mystery explains why magicians are such popular entertainers. We all know that a magician does not really depend on“magic“to perform his tricks, but on his ability to act at great speed. However, this does not prevent us from enjoying watching a magician produce rabbits from a hat, swallow countl
23、ess eggs, or saw(锯)his wife in two. Probably the greatest magician of all time was Harry Houdini who died in 1926. His real name was Enrich Weiss, but he adopted the name “Houdini“ after reading a book which influenced him greatly. This had been written by a famous magician called Robert Houdini. Ho
24、udini mastered the art of escaping. He could free himself from the tightest knots(最牢固的结) or the most difficult locks in seconds. Although no one really knows how he did this, there is no doubt that he had made a close study of every type of lock ever invented. He would carry a small steel needle-lik
25、e tool fastened to his leg and he used this instead of a key. Houdini once asked the Chicago police to lock him in prison. They bound him in chains and locked him up, but he freed himself in an instant. The police accused him of having used a tool and locked him up again. This time he wore no clothe
26、s and there were chains round his neck, waist, wrists(手腕) , and legs; but he again escaped in a few minutes. Houdini had probably hidden his “needle “in a wax-like substance and dropped it on the floor in the passage (过道). As he went past, he stepped on it so that it stuck to(粘在) the bottom of his f
27、oot. His most famous escape, however, was altogether astonishing. He was heavily chained up and shut in an empty wooden box the lid of which was nailed down. The box was dropped into the sea in New York harbor. In one minute Houdini had swum to the surface. When the box was brought up, it was opened
28、 and the chains were found inside.(分数:10.00)(1).Magicians successful tricks mostly depend on the fact that they can_.(分数:2.00)A.create any animals mysteriouslyB.eat a lot of eggsC.cut their wives in twoD.perform tricks quickly(2).Enrich Weiss used the name Harry Houdini because_.(分数:2.00)A.his fathe
29、r had this as his family nameB.he respected another magician Robert Houdini very muchC.he got the name because of his successD.he learned his art from Robert Houdini and was named after him(3).Harry Houdinis best art was perhaps that_.(分数:2.00)A.he could use a steel needle-like tool instead of a key

31、agoB.he wanted to show to the police how skillful he was at escapingC.the police wanted to know whether their prison was secureD.the police wanted to see whether he could escape with nothing on(5).The best title of this passage might be_.(分数:2.00)A.Harry Houdini, the Great MagicianB.The History of M
32、agiciansC.Why People Like Magicians So MuchD.How Magicians WorkI lose so many things that I was sure they just get up and walk. Perhaps I have never admitted iteven to myself, but I am extremely jealous of people who are so orderly that they never lose anything. Most of my friends always seem to hav
33、e a place for everything and everything is in its place. I hate comparing myself with them. They have special cupboards for tools, hooks to hang things on and drawers to put things in. It is quite impossible for me to compete. Some things have a terrible habit of disappearing the moment I need them.
34、 Pencils and ballpoint pens are never anywhere near the telephone when it rings, no matter how much care I take. Screw-drivers and tin-openers always manage to walk into the garden and, as a result, screws remain loose, and tins remain unopened. Boxes of matches move under the radio, and needles dis
35、appear every time I want to sew a button on a shirt. The situation was getting so much out of control that I decided to organize myself. I had a large cupboard put into the kitchen. On the shelves I neatly arranged a number of boxes and tins, the contents of which I clearly printed in ink on the out
36、side. I had one box for pins, another for nails, and a special place for screw-drivers. There was a new address book in one corner so that I could make a note of telephone numbers and addresses. Before this I had always written addresses on bits of paperwhich I quickly lost. Soon everything was tidi
37、ly arranged in its place, from pairs of scissors to cakes of soap and spare lamps. Having made such a sincere attempt to prevent things from running away, I felt very proud of myself. But it was not long before the matches disappeared and the hammer decided to hide itself in the waste-paper basket.
38、I soon got my revenge, however. I had a lock fitted to the cupboard and thus made sure that nothing could escape. This was an admirable solutionuntil I lost the key to the cupboard.(分数:10.00)(1).This passage is something written to_.(分数:2.00)A.tell readers a jokeB.complain about his toolsC.teach rea
39、ders some tricksD.criticize himself humorously(2).The author loses so many things because_.(分数:2.00)A.the things can really get up and walkB.other people never lose anythingC.he doesnt have special cupboards for toolsD.he can not organize himself well(3).Which of the following is NOT true according
40、to the passage?(分数:2.00)A.The authors things will escape when they are needed.B.When the author needs to take notes, he cant find his pencils.C.You can often find screw-drivers and tin-openers in the kitchen.D.Boxes of matches often stay where they should not be.(4).After the author decided to impro
41、ve the situation, he did everything below except that_.(分数:2.00)A.he had different boxes for different toolsB.he put some boxes and tins on the shelvesC.he wrote telephone numbers and addresses on paper piecesD.he had a large cupboard put in the kitchen(5).Which of the following can be inferred from
42、 the passage?(分数:2.00)A.Ever since his new arrangement, everything was brought under control.B.The efforts he made turned out to be a failure.C.He had a lock fitted to the cupboard, which proved to be an effective measure.D.He was very proud of himself for his clever measure.While the history of tec
43、hnology can be traced along many lines, one of the most intriguing (引人入胜的) development is that photo technology, the technology of light. From the prehistoric invention of fire to laser beams (激光束)and fiber optics(光纤) , light has continually occupied the minds of inventors. “Their inventions fall in
44、to two groups-, the use of light to aid vision and, more interestingly, the use of light for purposes of communication. The use of light for communication is one of the major directions that technology has taken ever since the middle of the nineteenth century. From still (静态的) photography to movies
45、to television ( with a development from black-and-white to color imagery in each) , photo technology has had a great effect upon mass communication and mass education. Unlike the printed word, visual images have more impact because they are more immediate; They copy reality in a way that the printed
46、 word cannot. Unlike letter shapes, they are not abstract; unlike words, they require no symbolic interpretation by the mind. Combined with the widespread and uniform spreading of such images, phototechnology affects the thinking of vast audiences and shapes their view of reality. As the number of c
47、ommercially available television channels grows, the viewers freedom of choice increases, but so does the burden of that choice.(分数:10.00)(1).It can be learned about the technology of light from the first paragraph that_.(分数:2.00)A.its mere practical use is to enable people to see wellB.it achieved

49、h deeper meaningsB.they have a greater immediate influence upon the viewerC.they fail to produce a beneficial effect upon youngstersD.they enable the viewer to use his imagination fully(3).It can be learned from the passage that with the development of phototechnology, _.(分数:2.00)A.more and more people seem t
