All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified t

ime to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.

Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets？

Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent role to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of "Eat, drink, and be merry". But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.

In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.

Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.

Why is the author talking about those examples in paragraph 1？

A．To prove that life is full of twist and turns.

B．To raise a question to us, regarding the author's topic.

C．To persuade us not to do anything illegal.

D．To highlight the importance of health.

第3题
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time,they become weak; when you start using them again,they slowly become strong again.Everybody knows this,and nobody would think of questioning this fact.Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory,he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly,either consciously or unconsciously.When someone else says that his memory is poor,he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong.The position is exactly the same as that of two persons,one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis,while the other sits in a chair or a motorcar all day.

If a friend complains that his arms are weak,we know that it is his own fault.But if he tells us that he has a poor memory,many of us think that his parents are to be blamed,or that he is just unlucky,and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault.Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can,if we have ordinary bodies and brains,improve our strength and our memory by the same means——practice.

Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course,because those who cannot read or write have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook.They have to remember dates,times and prices,names,songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

So if you want a good memory,learn from the poor and humble: practice remembering.

1.Which of the following is true,according to the first paragraph?（）

A.It is a fact that some people do not use their arms or legs.

B.To have a good memory,one has to exercise it regularly.

C.Everybody knows that memory of words is the same way as the arms or legs.

D.To keep fit,one should not sit in a chair or a motorcar.

2.In the author’s opinion,poor memory results from（）.

A.poor health B.lack of remembering practice

C.unlucky fortune D.insufficient education

3.The author seems to advice us（）.

A.to play tennis to improve our memory

B.to complain about nothing but our health

C.to blame ourselves rather than our parents for the poor memory

D.to learn from those who cannot read or write

4.The author comes to the conclusion that（）.

A.the poorer one is,the better his memory

B.memory can be improved by practicing it

C.the poor and humble people may help you remember things

D.if you want a good memory,do not read or write anything

5.Which of the following may best serve as the title of the article?（）

A.Poor and Good Memory.

B.How to Improve Your Memory.

C.Your Arms,Legs and Brain.

D.Learn from the Poor and Humble.

The worst thing about television and radio is that they entertain us, saving us the troubl
e of entertaining ourselves.

A hundred years ago, before all these devices were invented, if a person wanted to entertain himself with a song or a piece of music, he would have to do the singing himself or pick up a violin and play it. Now, all he has to do is turn on the radio or TV. As a result, singing and music have declined.

Italians used to sing all the time. Now, they only do it in Hollywood movies, Indian movies are mostly a series of songs and dances trapped around silly stories. As a result, they don't do much singing in Indian villages anymore. Indeed, ever since radio first came to life, there has been a terrible decline in amateur (业余的) singing throughout the world.

There are two reasons for this sad decline. One, human beings are astonishingly lazy. Put a lift in a building, and people would rather take it than climb even two flights of steps. Similarly, invent a machine that sings, and people would rather let the machine sing than sing themselves. The other reason is that people are easily embarrassed. When there is a famous, talented musician readily available by pushing a button, which amateur violinist or pianist would want to try to entertain family or friends by himself？

These earnest reflections came to me recently when two CDs arrived in the mail. They are historic recordings of famous writers reading their own works. It was thrilling to hear the voices from a long dead past in the late 19th century. But today, reading out loud anything is no longer common. Today, we sing songs to our children until they are about two, we read simple books to them till they are about five, and once they have learnt to read themselves, we become deaf. We're alive only to the sound of the TV and the stereo (立体声音响).

I count myself extremely lucky to have been born before TV became so common: I was about six before TV appeared. To keep us entertained my mother had to do a good deal of singing and tell us endless tales. It was the same in many other homes. People spoke a language; they sang it, they recited it; it was something they could feel.

Professional actors' performance is extraordinarily revealing. But I still prefer my own reading, because it's mine. For the same reason, people find karaoke (卡拉OK) liberating. It is almost the only electronic thing that gives them back their own voice. Even if their voices are hopelessly out of tune, at least it is meaningful self-entertainment.

The main idea of this passage is that ______.

A．TV and radio can amuse us with beautiful songs and music

B．TV and radio prevent us from self-entertainment

C．people should sing songs and read books aloud themselves

D．parents should sing songs and read books aloud to their children

第6题
The test of a great book is whether we want to read it only once or more than once, and ev
ery additional time that we read it we find new meanings and new beauties in it. A book that a person of education and good taste does not care to read more than once is quite possibly not worth much. Some time ago there was a discussion going on regarding the art of the great French novelist, Zola; some people claimed that he possessed absolute genius; others claimed that he had only talent of a very remarkable kind. The argument brought out some strange extravagances of opinion. But suddenly a very great critic simply posed this question: "How many of you have read, or would care to read, one of Zola's books a second time？" There was no answer; probably no one would read a book by Zola more than once. The fact was settled. "

Shallow or false any book must be, that, although bought by a hundred thousand readers, is never read more than Once. But we cannot consider the judgment of a single individual infallible. The opinion that makes a book great must be the opinion of many. For even the greatest critics are apt to have certain dullness, certain inappreciations. Carlyle, for example, could not endure Browning; Byron could not endure some of the greatest of English poets. A man must be many-sided to utter a trustworthy estimate of many books. We may doubt the judgment of the single critic at times, but there is no doubt possible in regard to the judgment of generations. Even if we cannot at once perceive anything good in a book which has been admired and praised for hundreds of years, we may be sure that by trying, by studying it carefully, we shall at last be able to understand the reason of this admiration and praise. The best libraries for a poor man would be a library composed entirely of such great works.

This, then, should be the most important guide for us in our reading choice. We Should read only the books that we want to read more than once, nor should we buy any others, unless we have some special reasons for so investing money. The second fact is the general character of the value that lies hidden within all such great books: they never become old; their youth is immortal. A great book is not apt to be comprehended by a young person at the first reading except in a superficial way. Only the surface, the narrative, is absorbed and enjoyed. No young man can possibly see at first reading the qualities of a great book. Remember that it has taken humanity, in many cases, hundreds of years to discover all that there is in such a book. But according to a man's experience of life, the text will unfold new meanings to him. The book that delighted us at eighteen, if it be a good book, will delight us much more at twenty-five, and it will prove like a new book to us at thirty years of age. At forty we shall reread it, wondering why we never saw how beautiful it was before. At fifty or sixty years of age the same facts will repeat themselves. A great book grows exactly in proportion to the growth of the reader's mind. It was the discovery of this extraordinary fact by generations of people long dead that made the greatness of such works as those of Shakespeare, of Dante, or of Goethe. Perhaps Goethe can give us at this moment the best illustration. He wrote a number of little stories in prose, which children like, because to children they have all the charm of fairy-tales. But he never intended them for fairy-tales; he wrote them for experienced minds. A young man finds very serious reading in them; a middle-aged man discovers an extraordinary depth in their least utterances and an old man will find in them all the world's philosophy, all the wisdom of life.

What may the author think of the art of the great French novelist, Zola？

A．There is no great genius in his works.

B．It has been settled that Zola's works are indisputable.

C．He possesses absolute genius.

D．There has been an exaggeration about his works.

Part A

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)

I came to live here where I am now between Wounded Knee Creek and Grass Creek. Others came too, and we made there little gray houses of logs that you see, and they are square. It is a bad way to live, for there can be no power in a square.

You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken, the people flourished. The flowering tree was the living center of the hoop, and the circle of the four quarters nourished it. The east gave peace and light, the south gave warmth, the west gave rain, and the north with its cold and mighty wind gave strength and endurance. This knowledge came to us from the outer world with our religion.

Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form. a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our tepees were round like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation's hoop, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to hatch our children.

But the Wasichus have put us in these square boxes. Our power is gone and we are dying, for the power is not in us any more. You can look at our boys and see how it is with us. When we were living by the power of the circle in the way we should, boys were men at twelve or thirteen years of age. But now it takes them very much longer to mature.

From the passage, we can see that the Indians ______.

A．don't have modem facilities in their homes

B．are content to live where they are

C．are strongly dissatisfied with their present status

D．are demanding better housing conditions
