She always went there on Thu
15、rsday. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.At six o clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign
16、 of forced entry.Over a cup of tea she was wondering whether someone had a key that fitted her front door“ a master key“perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as us
17、ual, but she didnt go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.It was just after four o clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then s
18、he heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly toward the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and pour
19、ed the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.31 On Thursday, Mrs. Clarke usually_.（A）went on an outing（B） visited a club（C） worked
20、 at a club（D）went to see a friend32 No one made a forced entry, because_.（A）she smelt cigarette smoke（B） she found nobody in the house（C） she came into the house as usual and locked the door（D）she found the door and windows remained the same33 On the second Thursday, nothing happened and Mrs. Clarke
21、 was wondering_.（A）whether her guess was wrong（B） whether someone had “a master key“（C） whether her movements were being watched（D）whether someone took a short cut to the house34 The wire fell to the floor_ .（A）because it was too hot to hold（B） when the man s glove dropped off（C） because the man jus
22、t wanted to run away（D）when the man s hand was badly hurt by hot water35 It can be inferred from the passage that Mrs. Clarke was_.（A）calm and clever（B） brave and lucky（C） anxious and worried（D）scared and frightened35 We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On th
23、e contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in dividing pupils into different groups. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child.
24、After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not jus
25、t their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to s
26、hare, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes t
27、hey work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do adva
28、nced work: it does not matter how old the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.36 The phrase “held back“ in Line 1 means being_.（A）forced to study hard（B） stopped from making progress（C） unwilling to study hard（D）p
29、ushed to make great progress37 The writer s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching“ is_.（A）approving（B） negative（C） critical（D）indifferent38 According to the writer, the main concern of a teacher should be the development of the students _.（A）social skills（B） total personality（C） personal qualitie
30、s（D）intellectual ability39 Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?（A）Pupils can learn how to be capable organizers.（B） Pupils can learn how to work together with others.（C） Pupils can learn how to participate in teaching activities.（D）Pupils can learn how to develop their rea
31、soning abilities.40 This passage aims to_.（A）offer advice on the effective use of the library（B） emphasize the importance of teaching the skills（C） discuss pair work and group work for classroom activities（D）argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class40 In the 1960s, medical
32、 researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member“ were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marri
33、age. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress-it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of s
34、imilar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research was described briefly in a memorable message. Women s magazines ran headlines like “ Stress causes illness!“ If you want to stay physically and mental
35、ly healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.But such simple advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many like the death of a loved oneare impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription(处方)for staying away from oppo
36、rtunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we re all weak and passiv
37、e in the face of difficulties. But what about human initiative and creativity? Many people who come through periods of stress with more physical and mental energy than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and metal strain.41 Hol
38、mes and Rahe made a medical research on_.（A）what to do to avoid stress（B） what to do to cope with stress（C） what kind of events can cause stress（D）what kind of stress can cause changes42 The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows_.（A）how much you have to deal with stress（B） how positive events can chan
39、ge your life（C） how negative events can change your life（D）how you can deal with life-changing events43 The studies on stress in the early 1970s made people_.（A）feel more stressful in working and living（B） believe that it s impossible to avoid stress（C） worry about their mental and physical health（D
40、）believe that it s possible to avoid stressful events44 If a person wanted to avoid stress completely, he would have to_.（A）avoid any changes（B） made some changes（C） be free of dangerous things（D）stay away from the opportunities45 Which of the following best describes the writer s tone in the passag
41、e?（A）Critical.（B） Objective.（C） Subjective.（D）Prejudiced.45 Even plants can run a fever, especially when they re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3 ,000 feet awaystraight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared(红外线)scanning technolog
42、y developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under attack. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which alwa
43、ys includes plants that don t have pest(害虫)problems.Even better, Paley s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. An infrared scanner, on a plane flying at 3,000 feet at night, measured the heat sent out by crops. The data was turned into a c
44、olor-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers“. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term supporters wer
45、e hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt about how the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United State
46、s“ , says George Oerther of Texas A&M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks long-distance infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade, but only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.46 Plant will run a
47、 fever when they are_.（A）sprayed with pesticides（B） facing an infrared scanner（C） troubled with insects or disease（D）having their temperature taken47 In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to_.（A）draw a color-coded map（B） locate the problem area（C） attract insec
48、ts and treat disease（D）estimate the damage to the crops48 Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by_.（A）making use of spot-spraying（B） transforming poisoned rain（C） consulting infrared scanning experts（D）detecting crop problems at an early stage49 The difficulty in applying infrared sca
49、nning technology to agriculture is_.（A）its high cost（B） the financial problem（C） the decreased production（D）the lack of official support50 The passage mainly talks about the_.（A）problems of crops（B） temperature of plants（C） roles of Paleys company（D）function of infrared scanning二、Cloze50 A friend of mine met with
