though

they're

everyone else's. This can be

(41)_________.

After all,
it's usually when someone else tells us that we have done
something
wrong
that
we
learn
something
about
ourselves. What we have to do is take a deep breath, and
face up to what we have done. Remember, when it comes
to understanding (42)









, we're not on our own. Everyone we know lends a helping hand! Of
course, doing the wrong thing is easy, but it's what we do about our mistakes that counts. Naturally we
are all good at (43)









to believe that we have done anything wrong at all. As we try to justify
our actions, our (44)







get more and more Complicated. We try to convince the listener that we
are telling the truth, but it's of no use. There's no chance at all that they will believe us. And the truth is
that
it

ourselves
we
have
deceived
(

),
not
them.
That's
the

point
I'm
trying
to
make.
Whatever
you
do,

yourself.
What

is

admitting that we are wrong---especially to ourselves.

A

If you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer
will
probably
be

keep warm
and
to
cover
my
body.
These
are
the
basic
reasons
clothes
are
worn,
but
people
also
want
to
look attractive and appear successful to others!




If
people
only
wore
clothes
for
warmth
and
to
cover
their
bodies,
most
clothing
would
be
simple
and
cheap.
In
most
Western
countries,
however,
clothing
is
sometimes
very
expensive.
The
main reason for this is not the cost of the
fabric
(
布料
) or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes
are expensive because of

businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties.
Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It's still just a suit
and tie but they pay these

prices

because

of the famous

name

of the designer. A suit costing
much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.







Fashion is
constantly
(
不断地
) changing, which means that people who want to be fashionable
have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or
twice. Some people have
wardrobes
(
衣柜
) full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer
in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!










Questions 56-58: Choose the best answer from A, B, C and D according to the passage.

56. Why do people wear clothes?







A. Only to cover themselves.














B. Just to make themselves attractive.







C. Just because of fashion.















D. For a variety of reasons.

57. Successful businessmen buy very expensive suits because of the________.






A. cost of the fabric




















B. famous name of the designer







C. cost of making them



















D. good packages

58. According to the passage, fashionable people have to________.






A. wear their clothes only once














B. buy new clothes regularly






C. wear last month's clothes
















D. buy new Clothes once or twice

Questions 59-60: Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to
the passage.

59. Successful businessmen pay thousands of dollars for a tie.
60. Some clothes are no longer in fashion though they have hardly been worn.
















































































B
There're
two
main
things
that
make
aircraft
engineering
difficult: the need to make every part as reliable

(
可靠的
)
as
possible
and
the
need
to
build
everything
as
light
as
possible.

（
61
）
_____________________
Given
a
certain
power
of
engine
and
a
certain
fuel
consumption


(
消耗

), there is a practical limit to the total weight of the aircraft that can be made to
fly.
(62)






















So
the
structure
of
the
aircraft
has
to
be
as
small
and
light
as
safety and
efficiency
(
效能
) will allow. The designer must calculate (
计算
) the normal
load
(
负荷

that
each part will bear. This specialist is called the


that may be put on the part.


The stress man's calculations go to the designer of the part, and he must make it as strong as the
stress man says is necessary. (63)




















Each separate part is tested, then a whole
assembly
(
装配
) --for example, a complete wing, and finally the whole aeroplane. When a new type of
aeroplane
is
being
made.
normally
only
one
of
the
first
three
made
will
be
flown.
Two
will
be
destroyed on the ground in structural tests. (64)______________





(65)

















The first is to find the
resistance
(
阻力
) to loading of the wings, tail,
etc. until they reach their largest amount of load and
collapse
(
崩溃
). The other test is for
fatigue
(
疲
乏

)
strength.
When
a
plane
has
passed
all
the
tests
it
can
get
a
government
certificate

(
证书
)
of
airworthiness, without which it is illegal to fly, except for test flying.
Questions
61-65:
Choose
from
the
sentences
A-G
to
complete
the
passage.
There
are
two
extra
sentences which you do not need to use.
A, Two kinds of ground strength tests are carried out.
B. One or two samples are always tested to prove that they are as strong as the designer intended.
C. Each may be well under what the structure could stand as a single load, but many repetitions can
result in collapse.
D. The third one will be tested in the air.
E. Making the working parts reliable is as difficult as making the structure strong enough:
F. The fact that an aeroplane is up in the air and cannot stop if anything goes wrong, makes it




perhaps a matter of life or death that its performance is completely dependable.
G
. Out of that weight as much as possible is wanted for fuel, radio navigational instruments (
导航设
备
), passenger seats, or
freight
(
货物
) room, and, of course, the passengers or freight themselves.
C
Auctions
(
拍卖
)
are
public
sales
of
goods,
conducted
by
an
officially
approved
auctioneer.
He
asks
the
crowd

assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or

for
the
various
items
on
sale.
He
encourages
buyers
to
bid
higher
figures,
and
finally
names
the
highest
bidder
as
the
buyer
of
the
goods.
This
is
called

down
the
goods,
for
the
bidding
ends
when
the
auctioneer
bangs
a
small
hammer
on
a
table
at
which
he
stands.






The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from
the Latin
spoils
(
战利品
]) taken
in
war;
these
sales
were
called

hasta
meaning

the
spear
a
spear
being
stuck
in
the
ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the 18th and 19th centuries goods were often
sold
alight.






The auctioneer's services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are
sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.
The auctioneer must know fairly accurately the current market values of the goods he is selling, and he
should
be acquainted with
(
了解
) regular buyers of such goods. He will also play on the rivalries

（
竞
争）

among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to
bid against each other.
Questions 66-70: Answer the following questions according to the passage.
66. Whom are auctions conducted by?



















































































67. Why is the end of the bidding called



















































































68. Where did items the Romans used to sell by auction come from?



















































































69. What is the use of a candle burned at auction sales?



















































































70. How are the auctioneer's services paid for?










































































































































D
Americans
smoke
six
thousand
million
cigarettes
every-
year
(1970
figures).
This
is
roughly
the
equivalent(
相当于
) of 4,195 cigarettes a year for every



























person in the country of 18 years of age or more. It is
estimated

(
估
计
)
that
51%
of
American

men
smoke

compared

with 34% of American women.
Cigarette

smoking
is

believed

by

most
research workers in this field to be an important factor
in the development of cancer of the lungs and cancer of the throat. Some competent physicians and
research workers-- though their small number is
dwindling


(
减少
) even further--are less sure of the
effect of cigarette smoking on health. They consider the increase in
respiratory
(
呼吸道
) diseases and
various forms of cancer may possibly be explained by other factors in the complex human environment.
Gradually, however, research is isolating (
使隔离
) all other possible factors and proving them
to be
statistically irrelevant.





While
all
tobacco
smoking
affects
life
expectancy
and
health,
cigarette
smoking
appears
to



have a much greater effect than cigar or pipe smoking. Filters and low
tar
(
焦油
) tobacco are claimed
to make smoking to some extent safer, but they can only
marginally
(
略微
) reduce, not
eliminate
(
消
除
), the
hazards
(
危险
).
Questions 71-75: Please complete the summary of the passage above with only one word for each
blank.
Nearly
half
the
adult
population
of
the
U.S.A.
are
smokers,
in

the
fact
that

health.
One
