14、r in Austria. Mother was warm-hearted. There were two children, Marianne, a schoolgirl, and little Wolfgang, a child not quite four years old. Marianne was learning to play the piano, and day after day Leopold stood behind her as she practised. How patient her father was, and how cleverly he showed
15、Maricanne how to play some particularly difficult pieces! She was making progress, very good progress, and that was excellent. And there, almost lost in the big chair, sat Wolfgang, who never had to be told to keep quiet when Mariannes shoulder, saying she had done well. At that moment Wolfgang clim
16、bed on his fathers knee and begged to be allowed to play the pretty piece Marianne had now mastered. What a joke that was! Picking up his baby son, Leopold laughed and said, “Look at your hands. You must wait, little man!“There was no end of fun during tea, and Marianne had to tell her mother about
17、Wolfgang wanting to play a difficult piece. When the meal was finished, Marianne helped to clear away the dishes. Suddenly Leopold got up. “Listen!“ said he in a surprised voice. “Listen!“ “Marianne is playing the piece better than ever!“But Marianne was washing dishes in the kitchen.His wife follow
18、ing, Leopold walked quietly upstairs, the lamp in one hand, his music book in the other.

22、cloudy through Monday with a chance of afternoon showers. High Sunday and Monday will be in the mid 80s, with a low Sunday night in the upper 60s. Winds, will be southeasterly 10 to 15 miles per hour diminishing at night.Probability of rain will be 20 percent Sunday.On the coast, winds will be south

In other words, we do not edu
28、cate children only for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to prepare them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education which will really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system o
29、f education one finds, or to continue with ones old system of enducation without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not.In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that, by free education for all-whether rich or poor, clever or stupid-one can solve all
30、the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they consider “
31、low“ work; and, in fact, work with the hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor, We can live without education, but we die if we have no
32、food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we would have terrible diseases in our towns. In countries where there are no servants because everyone is ashamed to do such work, scientists have to waste much of their time doing housework. In fact, when we say that al
33、l of us must be educated to prepare for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work, or
34、to scorn someone elses. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.46 Education is _.（A）a means（B） a purpose（C） fashionable（D）the first system 47 In many modern countries, children go to school _.（A）be free education（B） to be able to marry（C） to work for society（D）to rid themsel
35、ves of “low“ work 48 In our country, the educational purpose is _.（A）to make children get degrees（B） to prepare children for life（C） to get everyone to live happliy（D）to choose a system of education 49 Cleaners and farmers do _ scientists do.（A）the same work as（B） less important work than（C） more wo
36、rk than（D）as important work as 50 “Low“ work here means _.（A）work with brains（B） work with hands（C） the work that people do at home（D）the work scientists do in the lab 50 Archimedes was a famous Greek mathematician and scientist. He was born around 287 BC and he died in the year 212 BC.Archimedes is
37、 most well-known for one specific idea that he came up with. “Archimedes Principle“ states that a solid object which is immersed in a liquid is pushed up by a force which is equal to the weight of the water that the object moves. For example, if you put a piece of wood and a piece of gold the same s
38、ize in water, only the wood will float. Both the wood and gold move the same amount of water, but the wood weighs less than this water, while the gold weighs more.It is believed that Archimedes discovered this principle when the king of Syracuse asked him to solve a problem. The king wanted to know
39、if his crown was pure gold or a mixture of gold and silver. The king, of course, did not melt his crown to find out. The idea came to Archimedes as he lowered himself into his bath. He noticed how the water spilled out of the tub. He decided to use the same idea for the crown. He knew that a gold cr
40、own immersed in water would weigh more than one made of silver. The experiment was done and the goldsmith was proved guilty of trying to cheat the king.51 A good title for the selection is _.（A）Archimedes（B） ArchimedesPrinciple（C） A gold and silver crown（D）The king of Syracuse 52 The word “immersed“
41、 in the second paragraph means _ .（A）lifted（B） raised（C） rose（D）under water 53 We drop a piece of metal into a jar full of water, the metal will float if it weighs less than _.（A）an equal amount of silver（B） an equal amount of gold（C） all the water in the jar now（D）the water that leaves the jar 54 F
42、rom this selection we may conclude that the kings crown _.（A）moved less water than pure gold of the same size（B） moved more water than pure gold of the same weight（C） moved more water than pure gold of the same size（D）moved less water than pure gold of the same weight 55 The following sentences tell
43、 what happened many years ago. Which is the right order of the events? a. Archimedes took a bath b. Archimedes discovered his principle c. The king of Syracuse asked him to sovle a problem d. Archimedes did the experiment on his crown（A）c; a; b; d（B） h; c; a; d（C） b; c; d; a（D）c; a; d; b 55 From the
44、 beginning rivers have played an important part in the life of man. Man of the earliest times used the rivers as a means of travel. Today rivers still serve as a great waterway for the transport and people.In ancient times, man settled near rivers or on river banks and built up large empires.Water i
45、s Natures most precious gift to man. Man needs water to irrigate his crops, to cook and to wash. In nations all over the world rivers mean life and wealth. They feed and clothe the nations around them.Water is also a source of energy and power. Man constructs huge dams across the river to control th
46、e water for irrigation and get the energy needed to drive generators. The electrical power is then directed to homes, cities, factories and television stations.Man uses water each day. His main source of water comes from reservoirs, which in turn get their water from the rivers.Rivers also bring dow
47、n soil and minerals from the mountains and deposit them on the plains building up rich river deltas for raising plants and crops. Fresh water life in rivers or in lakes fed by them provide man with food.In a small way rivers help to keep man in good health and provide for his amusements. Various for
48、ms of water sports keep man strong and healthy.Rivers have run on this earth long before man. Mans future ability to live is uncertain, but rivers will flow on forever.56 Rivers have been important to man _.（A）since the last century（B） for a very long time（C） since a few hundred years ago（D）since a
49、few years ago 57 Rivers bring _.（A）people and crops（B） life and wealth（C） poverty and death（D）agriculture and bridge 58 Electrical power is produced by _.（A）dams（B） reservoirs（C） factories（D）generators 59 Energy is obtained from rivers by _.（A）building bridges across them（B） driving generators into them（C
