24、earest 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 i
25、nto 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 n
26、o 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.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage centers on _.（分数：2.00）A.how an undersea volcano broke outB.

30、 21, 1899 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
31、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 i
32、n 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 i
33、solated 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 o
34、wn. 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.（分数：10.00）(1).Ernest Hemingway died in _.（分数：2.00）A.1969B.1979C.1981D.1961(2).W
35、hich of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.His father taught him to fish and hunt when he was a boy.B.His family had a summer house in northern Michigan.C.He taught himself music when he was a boy.D.He also went squirrel hunting in the woods.(3).After he became
36、successful, Ernest Hemingway _.（分数：2.00）A.preferred to stay in big citiesB.chose to live in somewhat isolated placesC.moved his family to ParisD.killed himself(4).Being talented in music, Hemingway“s mother once wanted to _.（分数：2.00）A.be a music teacherB.help Hemingway learn musicC.perform on the st
37、age as a singerD.marry a rich husband(5).The passage is most probably from _.（分数：2.00）A.a literary biographyB.a science textbookC.a term paperD.a personal diary六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)What will man be like in the futurein 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, b
38、ut 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 per
39、iod 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
40、larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change toolthe 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
41、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 probabl
42、y 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
43、 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.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage tells us about _.（分数：2.00）A.how man“s life will be in the futureB.how future man will look likeC.the fact
44、that man“s organs will function differently in the futureD.the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes(2).There is evidence that man is changing, _.（分数：2.00）A.he has been growing taller over the past 500 yearsB.he has got stronger eyes than he ever hadC.his hair is getting thinner and thinner
45、D.his limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them(3).Man“s forehead will grow larger because _.（分数：2.00）A.he will make use of only about 20% of the brain“s capacityB.the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeC.he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years agoD.he wil
46、l have to use his brain more and more as time goes on(4).Future man will probably _.（分数：2.00）A.have smaller eyesB.have larger eyesC.see betterD.have to wear better glasses(5).The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _.（分数：2.00）A.will grow strongerB.never stops changingC.
47、hopes for a changeD.will live a different life七、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)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 figu
48、res, 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 sa
49、les 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 cen
