I had gone down the tower when a blind man came toward me. He kept close to the wall, touching it lightly with his arm. I stood still and looked at him walki
20、ng toward the ticket office. “What does a blind man want to climb up the tower for?“ I wondered, “Not the view certainly, perhaps he wants to jump.“ Thinking of this terrible reason, I thought I should follow him. He went up slowly and stopped from time to time. I followed him a few steps behind. Wh
21、en he got to the first corner of the bell tower, I approached him. “Excuse me,“ I said as politely as I could, “but I am very curious to know why you came up.“ “You“d never guess,“ he said. “Not the view, or the fresh air on this winter day?“ “No.“ he said. “Tell me, then.“ He smiled. “Perhaps climb
22、ing up the tower, you have noticedand yet, not being blind, perhaps you won“thow the sun pours into the tower through the windows here and there, so that one can feel the cool steps suddenly become quite warm, even in winter. But behind the wall there is shade. There is no place so good as this for
23、feeling the contrast between light and darkness. Though I“m blind, I also want to feel the happiness brought by the sunlight. In fact it isn“t my first time to be here.“ He said and seemed as pleased as a child. (81) I had never thought that even a blind man could have his way to enjoy the beautiful
24、 life. But we often paid no attention to its value because we never lost it. We went down the tower together and I left him. From then on I began to treasure what life has given me.（分数：12.50）(1).When did the story happen?（分数：2.50）A.On a warm day in spring.B.On a cool day in summer.C.On a windy day i

Yon can take it into a store and buy a television set or new furniture or clothing or anything you want. All you have to do is to sign your name and take what you want out of
29、 the store without paying cash. But there is a problem with the cardsthey can be financial poison. These cards are just like the poison we use on insects. (82) If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our bo
30、dy. For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company charges a percentage of that amount in interest. The interest is added every month, so a bill that is not paid gets bigger and bigger. Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are “overextended“. That is, th
31、ey have more debts on their credit cards than they can pay. Credit cards can be used for almost anything that money can buy. And they can even be used to pay for funerals. For some credit card users, a funeral may be the only solution to the debt problems they have caused for themselves by using cre

34、be charged as a criminal.D.He will be accused of cheating.(4).The sentence “Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are “overextended“ in Paragraph Four probably means _.（分数：2.50）A.the majority of American families have to pay off debts with their cardsB.a great number of American famil
35、ies will no longer use credit cardsC.many American families will be overcharged one-tenth of interestD.more than one-tenth of American families spend more than they can pay off(5).From the passage, we can conclude that _.（分数：2.50）A.we should use credit cards as little as possibleB.we should use cred
36、it cards as much as possibleC.we should use credit cards with great careD.we should use cash instead of credit cards五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.50)Every time a person eats something he makes a nutritional decision. He accepts or rejects the food available to him at home for meals or snacks. Or he se
37、lects food for himself at many places in the community, such as supermarkets, drive-ins, restaurants, and food counters in drug stores. (83) These selections make a difference in how an individual looks, how he feels, and how well he can work and play. When a good assortment of food in appropriate a
38、mounts is selected and eaten, the consequences are more likely to be a desirable level of health and enough energy to allow one to be as active as he needs and wants to be. When choices are less than desirable, the consequences are likely to be poor health or limited energy or both. Studies of diets
39、 of individuals in the United States show that food selection is a highly individual matter, even among young children. (84) Furthermore, far too many individuals of all ages are making poor choices day after day and are either now living with the consequences or will be in the future. Nutritionists
40、 and workers in allied professions have been concerned about helping people learn to select and enjoy a wide variety of food combinations that can add up to a good diet. Most people believe that they are well-fedthat the choices they make are good ones. After all, they are not really sick; neither a
41、re they hungry. However, their nutrition is really poor in one respect or another. Milk and milk products, such as cheese, icecream, buttermilk, and yogurt, are often neglected. Then people may leave out in their diets many fruits and vegetables, particularly those that are good sources of vitamins
42、A and C. These include dark green, leafy vegetables; deep yellow vegetables; and citrus fruits and vegetables, such as cabbages, tomatoes, and green peppers.（分数：12.50）(1).The passage mentions all of the following influences of food selection except _.（分数：2.50）A.how an individual looksB.how an indivi
43、dual feelsC.how well an individual works and playsD.how an individual looks at life(2).The word “assortment“ in Line One of Paragraph Two means “_“.（分数：2.50）A.numberB.varietyC.quantityD.amount(3).Studies show that _ make poor nutritional decisions.（分数：2.50）A.a great number of individualsB.some indiv
44、idualsC.almost no individualsD.a small number of individuals(4).Which of the following is not mentioned as good sources of vitamins A and C in the last paragraph?（分数：2.50）A.Citrus fruits and vegetables.B.Deep yellow vegetables.C.Meat of various kinds.D.Dark green, leafy vegetables.(5).Which of the f
45、ollowing is the best title for the passage?（分数：2.50）A.More Milk Products in DietB.More Vitamins A and C in DietC.More Fruits and Vegetables in DietD.More Food Combinations in Diet六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.50)Everyone knows that laziness is a sin. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that
46、laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. (85) But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons than simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious
47、 problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule or for fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be paralyzed (使不能行动)by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies
48、 may prevent work; some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals or fantastic achievements, that they are unable to deal with whatever “lesser“ work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are merely procrastinating (延误) rescheduling their day
49、. Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators, some people may took lazy when they are really thinking, planning, contemplating(深思) and researching. We all should remember that some great scientific discoveries occurred by chance or while some were “goofing off“ (磨洋工). Newton wasn“t working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised
