Wall Street is the name of a street in New York and very famous in the whole world. It is the financial center of the U.S.A, exerting a significant influence upon the world’s economy. Hetty Green, who was born in 1835, was nicknamed the Wizard（奇才）of Wall Street. She became almost a legendary figure in Wall Street, because she made a lot of money buying and selling shares in companies.
Hetty Green began making money when her father died and she inherited all his money. By investing it wisely, she soon built up her fortune to over 100 million dollars. However, she hated spending money on herself or on her family. Actually, she hated spending money on everything except buying shares. She was so mean that when her son Edward broke his leg, she would not send for a doctor. She did not want to have to pay a doctor’s bill. She refused to send her son to a good hospital. Instead, she took the boy to a free charity hospital. There he did not get very good treatment and, to save his life, he had to have his leg cut off. Still his mother would not pay for proper hospital treatment. She sent for a doctor who cut off the boy’s leg in her sitting room. It’s incredible, isn’t it?

People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence.
The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals” — perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars — are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.
Another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.
By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite（陨石）, consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.
36. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?
A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric. B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.
C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there. D. Because it was the Martians that built the canals. 37. The “canals” on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.
A. the minor geologic characteristic of Mars B. natural valleys on the surface of Mars
C. rivers that have kept flowing since ancient times D. a system that irrigates the whole surface
38. What were the Mars’ seasonal changes in color believed to be?
A. The natural changes on the planet. B. The seasonal cycles.
C. The movement of some life form. D. The storm of dust in its atmosphere.
39. How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?
A. The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars. B. A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago. C. The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.
D. The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.
40. How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?
A. Two. C. Four. Passage 3
B. Three. D. Five.
Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colors Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests.
They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks of trees.
An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all. 41. This passage mainly talks about ______. A. the change of color in locusts
B. the protective coloration of animals and pests C. how a certain sea fish protects itself
D. animals or pests can dye themselves different colors 42. Locusts are not easily wiped out by their enemies because ______.
A. they are powerful enough
B. they are dangerous to their enemies C. they take on the same colors as crops D. they fly extraordinarily fast
43. The pests that have different colors from plants usually
appear at night because ______.
A. birds take their rest when night comes
B. their enemies can easily find them and eat them
C. they have the habit of coming out in darkness D. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness 44. Bears and wolves have the same colors as barks of trees because ______.
A. they fear other beasts
B. they prefer brown or grey colors
C. they enjoy walking through forests quietly
D. the colors help prevent themselves from being noticed 45. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of years because ______.
A. it is the most powerful in the sea
B. it can swim much faster than any other fish
C. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find it
D. it can send out a kind of liquid which can kill its enemies Passage 4
High school dropouts（辍学者）earn an average of $ 9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out（不及格）.
Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’t cut it. They are lazy，and perhaps not two
bright．So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.
“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic（美籍西班牙的）student will receive a diploma，and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So， if failing grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does
Again，John Bridgeland: “The most dependable finding was that they were bored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they weren’t inspired or motivated. They didn’t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.”
The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state，New Mexico，has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee,
Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher，says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.
“As these dropouts look back，they realize they’ve made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure.”
New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point－the need for reform. It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.
46. Most high school students drop out of school because＿＿．
A. they have failing grades
B. they take no interest in classes C. they are discriminated against D. they are lazy and not intelligent
47. According to the passage，which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?
A. New Hampshire C. New Mexico Columbia
B. Utah
D. The District of
48. The underlined words “stick it out” probably means “＿＿”.
A. complete schooling problem
C. love having classes themselves
49. In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to_________.
A. analyze the reason why students quit school B. suggest raising the compulsory attendance age C. raise awareness of reforming high school education D. wish to make laws to guarantee no education
50. From the passage，we can infer the following EXCEPT that＿．
A. the grades of most dropouts at school were acceptable B. on average dropouts cannot get good jobs C. classes don't appeal to dropouts
D. about 500, 000 high school dropouts are black and Spanish Passage 5
D. believe in
B. solve the
People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993，the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses
disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.
Erosion（侵蚀）of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people，forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.
Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases，this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast，shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue，they say，until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is.
Meanwhile，if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future，apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home. 51. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?
A. The rising of the sea level. B. The experts’ lack of knowledge.
C. The washing-away of limestone cliffs.
D. The disappearance of hotels，houses and gardens. 52. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England .
A. will soon become a problem for people living in central England
B. has now become a threat to the local residents C. can be stopped if proper measures are taken D. is quickly changing the map of England 53. The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can .
A. warn people whose homes are in danger B. provide an effective way to slow it down C. help to prevent it from worsening
D. lead to its eventual solution
54. It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because ________.
A. house agents along the coast do not support the idea B. it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areas C. the government is too slow in taking action
D. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents 55. According to the author，when buying a house along the south coast of England，people should ________________.
A. take the quality of the house into consideration B. guard against being cheated by the house agent C. examine the house carefully before making a decision D. be aware of the potential danger involved Passage 6
Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student
would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. 56. Normally a student would at least attend ________ classes each week.
A. 36
B. 20
C. 12
D. 15

The waters of the oceans of the earth are full to overflowing with all kinds of food. Under careful scientific management, the sea alone could supply enough food for 61 seven times the present world population. This is 62 enough to end starvation among men.
Nearly a third of the world’s population suffers from lack of protein. Millions live 63 hunger and die 64
malnutrition, while enough food for all abounds in the sea. If starvation is to be avoided among the underfed peoples of the world in the closing years of the 20th century, 65 steps must be taken now to improve their food supply. The food 66 of the seas must be handled scientifically and protected from pollution.
Oceanographers are working 67 these problems. Problems of pollution are 68 by both government officials and operators of individual plants. Steps are being taken to solve some of the more serious problems.
Feeding the hunger of the earth from the resources of the sea 69 protecting the waters 70 the waste products of a
