When Patsy Li was six years old, the Japanese attacked Singapore. Mrs. Li and Patsy Li escaped on a ship which was sunk. Mrs.
16、 Li placed Patsy Li on a bit of floating wreckage. Later Mrs. Li was saved, but the little girl could not be found.Many months after, four thousand miles away, a group of United States Marines found a little Chinese girl. No one could tell how she had got there. She refused to talk or give her name.
17、 The captain who spoke Chinese named her Patsy Lee because he thought she looked like a white plum blossom.When the New York Times told about the finding of “Patsy Lee“, Mrs. Lis sister saw the news and wrote to her sister about it. Could Patsy Lee be the lost child Patsy Li? The mother made the lon

20、e Marines.B.The sailors.C.The soldiers.D.Mrs. Li.BPassage Two/BVisitors from space may have landed on our planet dozens, even hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while Man was still a dream of the distant future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90 percent of the earth as recently as two
21、or three hundred years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and local records, one can find many reports of strange incidents that could be interpreted as visits from outer space. A stimulating writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection of UFO sighting in
22、 his book! One is tempted to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one cant take them too seriously, for before scientific education was widespread, even sightings of meteors, com
23、ets, auroras, and so on, gave rise to the most incredible stories, as they still do today.（分数：15.00）(1).According to the passage, visitors from space may have landed on the earth _.（分数：3.00）A.long before man had dreamed of itB.long before there were human beingsC.in the last few hundred yearsD.after

27、student, I was a member of the collegiate basketball team. It was mainly composed of bookish students. Only one could be counted as natural athlete, another half-qualified. Thats why we were defeated nine out of ten games. Our spirits, however, had never dampened, for we were a cheerful team. None w
28、ould strive to get into the spotlight when we were gaining the upper hand; nor would we blame each other when we were losing. Thus a cordial relationship between members prevailed in our team. Most recommendable of all was our morale which never lowered. Our sportsmanship also remained good. We pers
29、isted in carrying on to the last when suffering great loss. We knew we had done our best, showing no regret at failure. To the rest of the students our team was a good one though it lost the game. They kept encouraging us and none of them was disappointed.Recently I have avoided watching games, not
30、even at a TV live coverage, still less to the match in person. Thats because I know I couldnt control myself. When watching a match, Ill inevitably take sides and be emotionally involved, strongly wishing for the triumph of the side over its opponent. As I often side with the “weaker“ in a match, wa
31、tching it will only spell worry and misery for me.Not long ago when I accompanied my wife to a super world tennis match my horizons broadened as regards sports competition. It seemed to me that wins and losses were relative and transient. What mattered was the ever-higher level achieved through cont
32、est. Victory was a result of all the efforts made by both sides. As one of the audience, I should applaud the energetic performance of both to the neglect of the result. Why should I regard the contest as a life-and-death struggle, the winner as survival and the loser as dead?（分数：15.00）(1).The baske
33、tball team was often defeated because _.（分数：3.00）A.the team members didnt know how to play basketballB.the team members were students who only know how to study book knowledgeC.there were only one or two members who were qualified for basketballD.the morale of the team was low(2).Which of the follow
34、ing is true according to the article?（分数：3.00）A.The basketball team was often defeated so their feelings were miserable.B.When they lost a match, they always complained about each other.C.They were not in good relationship with each other.D.They had a good sportsmanship even when they lost.(3).Why d
35、oes the author avoid watching games recently?（分数：3.00）A.Because the stadium is far from his home.B.Because he cant endure the team he supports being defeated.C.Because if his team is defeated, he will worry.D.Because he often watches the matches on TV at home.(4).What does “spell“ in the last senten
36、ce of the second paragraph most probably mean?（分数：3.00）A.Write outB.A period of timeC.A curseD.Lead to(5).Which of the following is most probably the best title?（分数：3.00）A.Lose and WinB.Basketball MatchC.Winning a MatchD.Watching a MatchBPassage Four/BTom Smith was a writer. He wrote detective stori
37、es for magazines. One evening he could not find an end for a story. He sat with his typewriter in front of him, but he had no ideas. So he decided to go to the cinema.When he came back, he found that he had had a visitor. Someone had broken into his flat. The man had had a drink, smoked several of T
38、oms cigarettes-and had read his story. The visitor left Tom a note.I have read your story and I dont think much of it. Please read my suggestions and then you can finish it. By the way, I am a burglar, I am not going to steal anything tonight. But if you become a successful writer, I will return!Tom
39、 read the burglars suggestions. Then he sat down and wrote the rest of the story. He is still not a successful writer, and he is waiting for his burglar to return. Before he goes out in the evening, he always leaves a half-finished story near his typewriter.（分数：15.00）(1).What did Tom Smith write abo
40、ut?（分数：3.00）A.Animals.B.Policemen.C.Children.D.Soldiers.(2).Tom went to the cinema because _.（分数：3.00）A.he hoped to get ideasB.he wanted to avoid a visitorC.he was feeling lazyD.he could not finish a story(3).The man broke into Toms flat in order _.（分数：3.00）A.to steal somethingB.to have a drinkC.to

42、re oftenBPassage Five/BThis is supposed to be an enlightened age, but you wouldnt think so if you could hear what the average men think of the average women. Women won their independence years ago. After a long, biter struggle, they now enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts o
43、f the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal and often superior to men in almost every field. The hard-fought battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. It is men, not women who still carry on the sex war because their attitude remains basically hostile. Even in
44、 the most progressive societies, women continue to be regarded as second-rate citizens. Hearing some men talk, youd think that women belong to a different species. On the surface, the comments made by men about womens abilities seem light-heartiness does not conceal the real contempt (轻视) that men f
45、eel for women. However much men sneer at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out by statistics. We all know that women cause far fewer accidents than men. They are too careful and responsible to drive like menaces. But this is a minor quibble (双关语). Women have succeeded in any job you c
46、are to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, bus-conductors, scientists and presidents of countries they have often put men to shame. And we must remember that they frequently succeed brilliantly in all these fields in addition to bearing and rearing children.（分数：15.00）(1).Which of the following
47、statements in true?（分数：3.00）A.Womens struggle for recognition has been completely won.B.Women have proved their abilities in many fields.C.Women can not get the same educational opportunities as men.D.Women are now regarded as equal to men all over the world.(2).Women cause far fewer accidents than
48、men because women _.（分数：3.00）A.drive like crazy menB.drive much better than menC.are conscientious and responsibleD.want to put men to shame(3).According to the passage, mens real attitude towards women _.（分数：3.00）A.hostileB.light-heartedC.objectiveD.superior(4).Womens success in almost every field is significant because _.（分数：3.00）A.women have fought very hard for successB.women have to bear and rear childrenC.women have never succeeded beforeD.men still carry on the sex war(5).What dose the author probably do?（分数：3.00）A.A historian.B.A government officer.C.A
