Consider this: You
14、r car is up and running smoothly but the mileage (里程) figures indicate that you need to have it serviced. Certainly, this is the right thing to do but have you wondered what actually goes in to make you pay that servicing bill every 6 months?Servicing your car is a simple DIY (Do It Yourself) job th
15、at you can learn quickly and easily to save some good money.If you have never serviced your car before personally, heres your resource:Car servicing essentially means inspecting the car thoroughly for any damaged components (组件，零件), and replacing some parts regularly that wear out (磨损) over time. If
16、 you review carefully it is certainly possible to do all this by yourself, as below:You will need a complete set of tools as provided by your car maker when you purchased the vehicle. This will usually consist of all the spanners (扳手) that you might need.Completely servicing your car will need a few
17、 hours but you will end up saving a lot of money. Besides, its fun too and a lot of learning.31 What is the best way to service your car?（A）To service your car by yourself.（B） To turn to other car owners for help.（C） To send your car back to the car maker.（D）To have your car serviced at the service
18、station.32 What indicates that your car needs servicing?（A）Weather conditions.（B） Gas consumption.（C） Mileage figures.（D）Servicing bills.33 Why does the author suggest servicing your car by yourself?（A）It is money-saving and easy to learn.（B） It is a simple way to save energy.（C） It is convenient an

20、arts.（B） Cleaning brushes.（C） Measuring meters.（D）All kinds of spanners.35 The pleasures which a movie offers to our eyes have been paid for with the loss of sight of a man whose name is hardly known outside the annals (年报) of science Joseph Plateau, a Belgian professor, born in Brussels in 1801.He
21、studied the mechanism(机制) of sight, beginning a series of most dangerous experiments at the age of 28 by staring into the sun for 25 seconds to see what the effect on his eyes would be. He was blind for nearly a month. But he went on experimenting, increasing the length of time during which he looke
22、d into the sun, knowing that in the end this would cost him his sight. At the age of 42 he was completely and incurably(治不好地) blind; the sun had destroyed the retina (视网膜) of his eyes. But he continued to work as well as he could until he died at the age of 82.Science profited enormously(巨大地) from h
23、is research. He studied the so-called “inertia of the eye(视觉暂留)“ which makes a picture remain on the retina for about one-sixth of a second after it has disappeared from our vision. This means that, if we see a succession of individual pictures each of which appears only for a fraction of a second,
24、they “overlap“ in our brain; and if they show consecutive (连贯的) phases of movement, that movement will appear to us to be continuous.36 Plateaus experiments were the first step leading to the invention of _.（A）eyeglasses（B） telescopes（C） bifocals（D）motion pictures37 The result of Plateaus first expe
25、riment was that_.（A）he went permanently blind（B） he stopped staring into the sun（C） he went blind for a month（D）he found what he was looking for38 A picture remains on the retina for_.（A）6 seconds（B） 1 second（C） 16 seconds（D）1/6 of a second39 The images that we see are recorded in_.（A）the brain（B） t
26、he eye（C） the retina of eye（D）the pupil40 Motion pictures_.（A）cause inertia of the eye（B） show a succession of unrelated movement（C） show consecutive phases of movement which appear continuous（D）show each phase of movement for one-half of a second40 What should you think about in trying to find your
27、 career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the su
28、bjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs
29、but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery a
30、nd look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give
31、correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or c
32、annot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(愧悔的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance
33、 of a fresh start at work.41 Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?（A）The importance of doing well at school.（B） Using school performance to help to choose a career.（C） The importance of being good at all subjects.（D）The indirect value of schoolwork.42 The writer thinks that for a
34、student to have a part-time job is probably_.（A）a waste of time that could have been spent on study（B） useful for his future work（C） a good way to earn extra money（D）a good way to find out his weak points43 According to the passage, if a students school record is not good, he _.（A）will be a complete
35、 failure in his future work（B） will not be able to find a suitable job（C） will regret not having worked harder at school（D）may do well in his future work44 Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?（A）Mathematics.（B） English.（C） Technical Drawing.（D）History.45 The whole passa
36、ge centers on_.（A）choosing a career according to what one is skilled in（B） acquiring knowledge by working hard at school（C） finding ones strong and weak points（D）developing ones abilities in school work45 Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do
37、 know.First, we know that all men in the world have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language. And, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There ar
38、e many peoples whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct co
39、ntrary(反面) has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive way. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them t
40、urn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is, each one is a perfect mean
41、s of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of
42、 language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.46 What can be inferred from the second paragraph?（A）Some backward race of men doesnt have a language of
43、their own.（B） Some race of men in history didnt possess a language of their own.（C） Any human race, whether backward or not, has a language.（D）Some race of men on earth can communicate without language.47 What kind of language can peoples of undeveloped cultures have?（A）Complicated.（B） Uncivilized.（
44、C） Primitive.（D）Well-known.48 People used to think Indians communicated_.（A）with complicated language（B） in a primitive way（C） with hand gestures（D）through body movements49 What does the word “adequate“ (Para. 4) most probably mean?（A）Primitive.（B） Unique.（C） Sufficient.（D）Proper.50 According to the
45、 author, language changes are most likely to occur in_.（A）grammar（B） pronunciation（C） vocabulary（D）intonation二、Cloze50 Enough sleep is important to health. The amount of sleep【C1】_ depends on the age of the person and the conditions in which sleep【C2】_ .The young may need more sleep than the old, bu
46、t【C3】_ eight hours are enough for the health of grown-ups. Some can do with less than this amount but【C4】_ may need more. Every person knows his own need. It is then a matter of how to【C5 】_ it. Sleep should be always been enough to make one relaxed and ready for【C6 】_ work.Fresh air is【C7 】_ to sou
47、nd sleep. It is not【 C8】_ reason for some people to insist that it is practical to sleep in the open air.【C9 】_ a person can keep himself warm, out-of-door sleeping probably gives the body【C10】_ complete relaxation.Ability to sleep is largely a habit. The conditions referred to only lead to sleep. O
48、ut-of-door 【 C11】_, a good habit of regular drinking and the avoidance of late eating and【C12】_ are helpful to sound sleep. Such factors are largely within the【C13】_ of any person. A bath at 【C14】 _, neither hot nor cold but of body temperature, may be helpful to sleep. Sleeping pills should never be taken except when suggested by【C15】 _.51 【C1 】（A）wished（B） expected（C） needed（D）wanted52 【C2 】（A）falls down（B） breaks out（C） wakes up（D）takes place53 【C3 】（A）seldom（B） sometimes（C） always（D）generally54 【C4 】（A）others（B） other（C） a few（D）few55 【C5 】（A）help（B） satisfy（C） demand（D）take56 【C6 】（A）
