There is another large reservoir(知识库 )which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman(工匠 )has s
24、omething he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them. But the demonstration(示范 )and report of what happens, and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms(术语 ). Presently the college student will learn,
25、 in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, of folklore(风俗 ). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowled
26、ge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness. 50 In the last paragraph the phrase “this wide, confused wilderness“ refers to_. （ A
27、） personal experience （ B） wild weeds among good plants （ C） the information from the parents （ D） the vast store of traditional practices 51 Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? （ A） The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grass. （ B） Craftsman s
28、 experience is usually unscientific. （ C） The contemptuous(傲慢的 )college students will receive nothing from craftsmen. （ D） Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college student. 52 From this passage we can infer that_. （ A） we 11 invite the. craftsman to teach in the college （
29、 B） schools and books are not the only way to knowledge （ C） scientific discoveries are based on personal experience （ D） discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge for a college student 53 The author advises the college student to_. （ A） be contemptuous to the craftsma
30、n （ B） be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms （ C） learn the craftsman s experience by judging it carefully （ D） gain the craftsman s experience without rejection 54 The main idea of this passage is about_. （ A） what to learn from the parents （ B） how to gain knowledge （ C） why to
31、 learn from the craftsman （ D） how to deal with experience 54 Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives. We do it every day to get to work, to school or to friends houses. Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at a red light, a
32、 driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the other direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry, and impatient. Traffic
33、accidents decline millions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed in accidents every day. The annual death rate(年死亡率 )from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan. To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules. Before y
34、ou drive, learn all the traffic laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun！ 55 The word “convenient“ in the passage means_. （ A） handy, easy to do （ B） that can be changed （ C） fond of drinking and merry-making （ D） carriages or other trucks 56 If you cut another car off, its driver
35、may be_. （ A） impatient （ B） terrible （ C） angry （ D） both A and C 57 The sentence “Traffic accidents decline millions of lives“ means “_“. （ A） Traffic accidents make some people become millionaires （ B） Many people die from traffic accidents （ C） Millions of people say they themselves have had tra
36、ffic accidents （ D） Millions of people remain healthy after traffic accidents 58 According to the passage, driving can be safe if_. （ A） you are patient （ B） you obey all the traffic rules （ C） you don t cut another car off （ D） you wait in line at a red light 59 Which of the following may be the be
37、st title for this passage? （ A） Traffic Safety （ B） Be Careful （ C） How to Drive a Car （ D） A Traffic Accident 59 Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations. Later he used sharp bones or horns, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic. In the 1960s a new tool w
38、as developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also to revolutionize the art and science of surgery. The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world. As we all know, light is hot, and any
39、 source of light will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-size
40、d beam. Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser
41、beam right through the eye-ball. Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting.
42、Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective. 60 Which of the following would be appropriate to describe the instruments of surgical operations up until 1960s? （ A） Traditional （ B） Complicated. （ C） Remarkable. （ D） Revolutionary
43、. 61 What do we find after the development of the laser in the 1960s? （ A） Industrial revolution brought surgery changed greatly. （ B） Medical help became available for industrial workers. （ C） The study of art went through a complete revolution. （ D） Human being s methods in surgery changed greatly
44、. 62 The reason why the laser beam is very strong is that_. （ A） it is artificially illuminated （ B） it is made up of a concentrated beam of light （ C） it sends out heat in all directions （ D） its heat is increased by the heat of the sun 63 After the use of the laser beam, surgeons can perform opera
45、tions which_. （ A） leave their patients with negative effects （ B） can treat only human eye diseases （ C） do little damage to their patients （ D） make their patients need a long time to recover 63 Urban life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its
46、 motivating force is, in the broadest sense, money. The presence of huge numbers of people inevitably involves more conflict, more traveling, the overloading of public services and exposure to those deviants and criminals who are drawn to the rich pickings of great cities. As a defense against these
47、 developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves; contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked and so on. There are other strategies, too, which are positively harmful to the individuals, for exam
48、ple, reducing awareness through drugs or alcohol. Furthermore, all these defensive forms of behavior are harmful to society in general. Lack of informal social contact and indifference to the misfortunes of others, are amongst the major causes of urban crime. Present day architecture and planning ha
49、ve enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be rehoused in tower blocks which are inconvenient. This destruction of established social structures is the worst possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort shoul
