Passage 1
Rumor is the most 1
way of spreading stories by passing them on from
mouth 2
mouth. But civilized countries in
normal times have better 3 of news than rumor.
They have
radio, television, and newspapers.
In times of stress and 4 , 5 , rumor 6
and
becomes widespread. At such 7 the
different kinds of news are in 8 , the press,
television, and radio versus the grapevine.
Especially 9 rumors spread when war requires
censorship(审查,检查)on many important matters.
The customary news sources no longer 10
enough information. Since the people cannot
learn 11 legitimate(合法的,正规的)channels
all
12 they are anxious to learn, they pick up
“news” 13 they can and when this
14 ,
rumor thrives.
Rumors are often repeated 15
by those who do not believe the tales. There is a
fascination about them. The reason is 16
the cleverly designed rumor gives expression to
something deep in the hearts of the victims--
the fears, suspicions, forbidden hopes, or
daydreams
which they hesitate to 17
directly. Pessimistic(悲观的)rumors about defeat and
disasters
show that the people who repeat them
are 18 and anxious. 19 rumors about record
production or peace soon coming point to
complacency(满足,自得)or confidence and often to
20 .

Passage 2
I've always loved pigeons(鸽子). Some years ago
I managed to persuade my wife to let me
buy a
few and started 1 them myself. They cost a lot
of money and so it spoilt(破坏)our
2 a bit,
but my wife never actually stopped me so I 3
carried on. I learnt so much about
them that I
could 4 a good racer anywhere and I bought
some beauties. My pigeons won
some top races,
and I even began to make a bit of 5 .
You
see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they
get to know that your pigeons are 6
big
prizes.
My wife had been changing her 7 to
the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She
was quite 8 of all the prizes we'd won.
Then there was a lot of traveling, which she
liked.
You see, someone has to take the
pigeons a 9 way off and release them. Some of
the 10
were really nice. I never traveled.
I used to like to wait at home and see them come
in. They got
the wonderful sense of 11 ,
which could bring them back home so quickly.
They'd flown
hundreds of miles sometimes 12
storms or against strong winds. And there they'd
come, tiny
white birds against the great 13
. Then I'd watch them 14 round and come down
onto
the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch
and think, “My goodness, that's a good 15 .”
And I'd
take off the little leg ring and push
it through the machine to 16 what time he'd
arrived. Then
my wife would 17 up and say,
“Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if
we'd won
18 .
However, last year we
had a 19 ! One of them got some sort of
flu(流感)and died;then
they all 20 . It was
terrible;I had to burn them all. We lost a
fortune, of course.

Passage 3
Most
children with healthy appetites are ready to eat
almost anything that is offered them and
a
child rarely dislikes food 1 it is badly
cooked. The 2 a meal is cooked and served is
most important and an 3 served meal will
often improve a child's appetite. Never ask a
child
4 he likes or dislikes a food and
never 5 likes and dislikes in front of him or
allow 6
else to do so. If the father says
he hates fat meat or the mother 7 vegetables
in the child's
hearing he is 8 to copy
this procedure. Take it 9 granted that he
likes everything and
he probably 10 .
Nothing healthful should be omitted from the
meal because of a 11 dislike. At meal
times it is a good 12 to give a child a
small portion and let him 13 back for a second
helping rather than give him as 14 as he
is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much
to
the child 15 meal times, but let him
get on with his food, and do not 16 him to
leave
the table immediately after a meal or he
will 17 learn to swallow his food 18 he
can
hurry back to his toys. Under 19
circumstances must a child be coaxed(哄骗) 20
forced to eat.

Passage 1
The journey two
divers(潜水员)made some time ago to the very deepest
point on the earth
make us realize how much of
the world still remains to be studied. The two men
went down seven
miles to the bottom of the
Pacific Ocean inside a small ball to find out if
there are any ocean
currents(水流)or signs of
life.
It was necessary to set out early, so
that the ball would come to the surface in
daylight, and so
be easily found by the mother
ship which would be waiting for it. The divers
began preparations
(准备)early in the morning and
soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel
ball disappeared
under the surface of the
water.
The divers felt as if they were going
down steps as they passed through warm and cold
layers
(层)of water. In time, the temperature
dropped to freezing point. They kept in touch with
the
mother ship by telephone telling how they
felt. Then, at a depth(深度)of 3,000 feet, the
telephone
stopped working and they were quite
cut off from the outside world. All went well
until some four
hours later at 30,000 feet,
the men were frightened by a loud,
cracking(爆裂)noise: even the
smallest hole in
the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily,
though, it was only one of the
outer(外部的)windows that had broken. Soon
afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor
raising a big cloud of “dust” made up of small
dead sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up
the
dark water and the men were surprised to
see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled
by
the great water pressure(压力). But they did
not dare to leave the lights on for long , as the
heat
from them made the water boil. Quite
unexpectedly, the telephone began working again
and the
faint(微弱的)but clear voices of the
divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles
away. After
a stay of thirty minutes the men
began their journey up, arriving three hours
later, cold and wet
through, but none the
worse for their experience.

began working again after they reached the
bottom

Passage 2
Boxing
matches were very popular in England two hundred
years ago. In those days, boxers
fought with
bare fists for prize money. Because of this, they
were known as “prize-fighters”.
However,
boxing was very crude, for there were no rules and
a prize-fighter could be seriously
injured or
even killed during a match.
One of the most
colourful figures in boxing history was Daniel
Mendoza, who was born in
1764. The use of
gloves was not introduced until 1860 when the
Marquis of Queensberry drew up
the first set
of rules. Though he was technically a prize-
fighter, Mendoza did much to change
crude
prize-fighting into a sport, for he brought
science to the game. In his day, Mendoza enjoyed
tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich
and poor alike.

Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a
boxing-match when he was only fourteen years old.
This attracted the attention of Richard
Humphries, who was then the most eminent boxer in
England. He offered to train Mendoza and his
young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza
soon became so successful that Humphries
turned against him. The two men quarrelled
bitterly
and it was clear that the argument
could only be settled by a fight. A match was held
at Stilton
where both men fought for an hour.
The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza,
but he was
defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in
the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a
second time. It
was not until his third match
in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became
Champion of
England. Meanwhile, he founded a
highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron
became one
of his pupils. He earned enormous
sums of money and was paid as much as ? 100 for a
single
appearance. Despite this, he was so
extravagant that he was always in debt. After he
was defeated
by a boxer called Gentleman
Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to
prison for failing
to pay his debts and died
in poverty in 1836.
1.Boxing in the 18th
century was crude because _____.
A.boxers
fought with bare fists

injured or even killed during a match

Passage 3
The first area outside the United States to
which settlers moved in substantial numbers was
the province now called Texas. By 1830 eastern
Texas had been occupied by nearly 20,000 whites
and 1,000 black slaves from the United States.
Many westerners had been disappointed when the
U.S. government, in the Florida purchase
treaty of 1819, accepted the Sabine River as the
southwestern boundary of the United States. By
doing so, the United States surrendered whatever
vague claim it had to Texas as part of the
Louisiana Purchase.
After winning
independence from Spain in 1822, Mexico twice
rejected American offers
buying this sparsely
settled province;but during the 1820's she
welcomed law-abiding American
immigrants.
The first and most successful promoter of
American settlement in Mexico was Stephen. F.
Austin, who obtained a huge land grant form
the Mexican government and established a
flourishing colony on the banks of the Brazos
River. Most of the immigrants were yeoman
farmers
(自耕农)and small slave owners from the
southern United States who were attracted by the
rich
lands suitable for cotton growing and
available for a few cents an acre.
1.What is
the subject of this passage? _____
A.The
influence of Mexico on settlement in Texas.
B.The geographic feature of Texas.
C.The
initial settlement of Texas.
D.The impact
of treaties on Texas in the 1800's.
2.It can
be inferred from the passage that _____.
A.Texas was not always a part of the United States
B.Mexico was interested in becoming part of
the United States
C.Texas was attractive to
slaves who sought freedom
D.Mexico
considered to buy the province of Texas
3.Stephen F. Austin did all of the following
EXCEPT _____.
A.encouraging newcomers to
settle in Texas
B.establishing a colony on
the banks of the Brazos River
C.securing
land from Mexico
D.negotiating the
Louisiana Purchase
4.It can be inferred that
Texas farmland is suitable for _____.
A.textile production
B.production of raw
materials for clothing
C.food production
D.fishing
5.In 1822 all of the
following were true EXCEPT that _____.
A.Mexico had already twice refused U.S. offers to
buy Texas
B.Mexico was independent
C.the Louisiana Purchase had been negotiated
D.Texas was heavily populated
