In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe，fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University.I had never before seen a man so tall as he，and so ugly.I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home.His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness.They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears，of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.Indeed，his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself.My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o„clock classes.深圳成考网www.xiexiebang.com
Upon arriving at the university that day，I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office.He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall，and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around.He stepped in，remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out.“Tell me what you see.” I said as I took his place in the room，leaving him in the hall with his back to the door.Without the least hesitation and without a single error，he gave the number of seats in the room，pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls，named the colors each student was wearing，pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard，spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor，and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.As I rejoined Wolfe，I was speechless with surprise.He，on the contrary，was wholly calm as he said，“The worst thing about it is that I„ll remember it all.”

The trick in food photography is to show the food looking fresh，so many dishes have stand-ins，just as movie stars do.“When I get my lights and cameras set up，I remove the stand-in and put in the real thing，” explains Ray Webber，who photographs food for magazine advertisements.“Sometimes I have to brush the meat with its juices because it may have dried out a bit.A and when I„m
深圳成考网www.xiexiebang.com shooting(拍照)something like tomatoes，I always carry water to spray them with dew just before I shoot.”
Shooting food outdoors has special problems.“I„m always worrying about flies or worms crawling up a glass，” Webber explains，“my worry is that someday a dog will come up from behind and run off with the food.” Once Webber was shooting a piece of cheese outdoors and needed something to make its color beautiful.Finally he found it： a weed with lovely blue flowers.When the shot appeared，several people were horrified-the weed was deadly nightshade!

In ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones.Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal.Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light.Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.61.Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?

could become collector’s items
65.Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?

At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings.For the first group the room was painted white;for the second, dark brown.Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet.The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one.Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner.Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside.Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented.Three groups of people were used;each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office.The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting.Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did.Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.66.Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?

Passage Three
The water we drink and use is running short in the world.We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water.One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it.Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system.But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory.There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough.Then we could turn to the oceans.All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt.This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.71.The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.A.do experiments with water B.purify the used water and reuse it
C.use fresh water once again D.make use of seawater
72.The following tells us how to reuse the used water.Which is the right order of the passage?

Passage Four
Some people hate everything that is modern.They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music;they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing;they think that all modern painting is ugly;and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world.Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past.They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways.It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures.If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place.This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings.Technologically, the modern buildings are
more advanced.The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past.He is too proud to do that.76.Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.A.they are aged B.they find it hard to accept modern things
C.they take their standards of perfection from the Greek
D.they look at things by the standards of the past
77.The writer of the passage thinks that ________.it is true to say artists fail in their work
it is untrue to say artists fail in their work
it is true to say some artists fail in their work
it is true to say only painters fail in their work
78.The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.A.means nothing B.concerns others
C.concerns only the artist D.concerns all the people in the world
79.The writer thinks that _________.we can’t judge buildings by the ancient standards
we can’t judge all the buildings by the ancient standards
we can’t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standards
we can’t judge modern buildings
80.Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced.The sentence means _____.the ancient architects had no technology
the modern architects use more advanced technology
the modern buildings are advanced because they are completely different from the ancient buildings
the modern buildings are more beautiful

Where to live —in the City or in the Country
Some people like living in the city because city life has many advantages.They think there are more job opportunities in cities, life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country, and there are more modern conveniences in cities for people to enjoy.But some other people prefer to live in the countryside.They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for their health, life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people.I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for having a quite life.

Researchers have found that REM(rapid eye movement)sleep is important to human beings.This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence.The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM(non-rapid eye movement)to REM sleep.Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep.It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61.According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?

The Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren.According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose.Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719.However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person.They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used.The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories;they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.66.What is suppssed to have happened in 1719?
Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.67.Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________.A.a real person B.a book written by a little old woman
C.a collection by Elizabeth Vergoose D.a translation from French
68.When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______.no story of the book had been known to people
some stories of the book were already well known
few people were interested in the stories of the book
stories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular
69.The name used in the first book published in 1679 is supposed to have been _______.A.Mother Goose B.Mere I’ Oye C.Elizabeth Vergoose D.Charles Perrault
70.On the basis of this passage, what may be concluded about the real origin of stories “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella”?
They were invented by Elizabeth Vergoose.They were invented by Thomas Fleet.They were invented by Charles Perrault.Their writers are unknown.Passage Three
Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts;they rely on depositors(储户)not to demand payment all at the same time.If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day.If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts.However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it.Mrs.Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced.One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs.Vaught lived.The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors.The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand.The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside.The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone.People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank.Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.71.A bank run happens when _______.a bank is closed for one or more days
too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time
there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one time
tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank
72.The tellers in Mrs.Vaught’s bank were told to ________.explain why they could not pay out all accounts
pay out accounts as requested
make the depositors believe that the bank was stand
pay out money as slowly as possible
73.The main cause of a bank run is _______.A.loss of confidence B.lack of money
C.crowds of people D.inexperienced tellers
74.Which of the following did Mrs.Vaught say?
She know that the bank was not sound.She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.She was not able to draw out her money.She was tempted to draw out her money.75.According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs.Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the _______.ease with which they could get their money
confidence that Mrs.Vaught showed
failure of several other banks to open
confidence shown by other depositors of the bank Passage Four
One of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel.Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles.With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer.Buffalo chips(干粪块)were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance.Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.76.What is the main topic of this passage?
The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem.Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century.The imporance of the American buffalo.Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.77.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived.The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips.The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips.Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel.78.The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed _______.A.in greater amounts in summer B.in greater amounts in winter
C.only in summer D.only in winter
79.Which of the following does the author not express surprise at?
The children needed competitions to them.The buffalo chips gave off no smell.Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem.Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends.80.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Early Settlers B.One Use of the Buffalo Chips
C.Nebraska’s Problems D.How Young Men Express Their Love for Girls

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping.For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised.It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods.This May Be Your Lucky Day!”
For several weeks Mrs.Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer.Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping.The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need.Her husband tried to advise her against

One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea.She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you!You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East.Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea.It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake.The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation.The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain.Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found.Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905.In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground.He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors.More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found.Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66.The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.part of a historical cave system

Passage Three
Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials.Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure.So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E.Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”
Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr.Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.71.The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A.the year the author wrote the article B.1977
C.any year between 1997 and 1983 D.1983
72.For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.several studies have been done in the past few years
the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s health
adults have especially made studies in this field
eating little in the morning is good for health
73.“„nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.anyone without breakfast does improve his performance
not giving people breakfast improve performance
having breakfast does not improve performance, either
people having breakfast do improve their performance
74.The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.A.stories, poems, plays, etc.B.written works on a particular subject
C.any printed material D.the modern literature of America
75.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.breakfast does not affect performance
Dr.Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning
not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London Passage Four
About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning.The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university.These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts(B.A.)or Bachelor Science(B.S.)degree.Some students attend a junior college(providing only a two-year program)for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore(二年级生)or junior(三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one.Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average(GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school.Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive.Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning
scholarships.Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad(graduate)school.Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs.Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time.Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities.Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular.However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76.College education is _______ in America.A.quite common B.very rare
C.something difficult D.almost impossible
77.Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A.entrance examinations B.taking part in many activities
C.GPA D.college prep classes
78.How can poor students attend private schools?
A.Only by working at part-time jobs.B.Only by working at full-time jobs.C.Only by earning scholarships.D.All of above.79.The American college students like to _______ most of all.A.discuss problems on philosophy B.play balls
C.earn enough money D.go to the cinemas or theatres
80.The best title for this passage is _______.A.Part-time jobs B.American college
C.Popular activity D.A new system

In Money Everything?
I don’t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it.Fox example, money can’t buy us happiness and a good education.And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life.But we can not live without money.We need it for our daily necessities such as food, clothes and transportation.What’s more, we need it to live a better life.In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.成人高考网络在线学习http://edu.21cn.com/kcnet1100/

It was January 1848.A man was digging near the small village of San Francisco，California，Suddenly，he saw something shiny—gold.By the next year the California gold rush had begun.Thousands of men came to California.They were called ―forty-miners‖ after the year 1849.The forty-miners came from all around the USA.They even came from other countries，including Mexico，Australia，China，France，and England.They left their families and jobs，and made the difficult trip to California.They all shared a dream.They all wanted to make a fortune in gold.Towns and camps grew quickly wherever gold was found.These towns were rough places.There was almost always a saloon，where the men drank whiskey and gambled at cards.In mining towns，men stole and sometimes killed for gold.Did the miners make their fortune？ Some did，especially those who came early were lucky.In 1848，miners usually made about twenty dollars a day.In 1852 miners made about six dollars a day.Many other people came to California to make money from the miners.Prices were very high.A loaf of bread，which cost five cents in New York，cost almost a dollar in San Francisco.In 1848 San Francisco had been a village.Six years later it was a city with a population of 50，000.In 1850 California had enough people to become a state.（）51.In 1849 thousands of men came to California because _______.A.they were forty-miners

Baseball is America‗s most popular sport.In a baseball game there are two teams of nine players.Players must hit ball with a bat and then run around four bases.A player who goes around all the bases scores a run for his team.The team that finishes with more runs wins the game.Where did baseball come from？ No one knows for sure.Many people believe that the idea came from a game played by children in England.Other people believe that a man named Abner Doubleday invented the game in Cooperstown，New York，in 1839.But the first real rules of baseball were written in 1845 by Alexander Cartwright.Two teams from New York played a game following Cartwright‗s rules.The rules worked well.Soon there were many teams.These early teams were not professional.They played only for fun，not money.But baseball was very popular from the start.Businessmen saw that they could make money with professional baseball teams.The first professional team was started in 1869.This team was the Red Stockings of Cincinati.Within a few years there were professional teams in other cities.In 1876，these teams came together in a league，or group，called the National League.The teams in the National League played one another.In 1901，a new league，called the American League，was formed.To create some excitement，in 1903，the two leagues decided to have their first-place teams play each other.This event was called the World Series.Each year since then the National League winner and the American League winner play in the World Series.And，each year，millions of people look forward to this exciting sports event.（）55.A group of people that play together is _________.A.a team

Legend tells us that the city of Rome was established in 152 BC.It‗s a fact，however，that by 100 AD，Rome was the center of a vast empire.It ranged from Syria in the east to Spain in the west.It stretched from Britain in the north to Africa in the south.All or part of 27 of today‘s countries were included in the Roman Empire.All of their people were ruled by one government，that of Rome.All educated citizens spoke the same language，Latin.And one of the empire‗s many outposts was called Londinium.This unimportant town would later become London，England，and the center of another empire.The Roman Empire collapsed about 1，5000 years ago.Yet in some ways，it is still with us.Take the letters you are reading fox example.English，like many other languages，uses the Roman alphabet while also borrowing many word.The laws of many European countries are based on ancient Roman laws.Roman ruins are scattered throughout Europe，North Africa，and the Middle East.In some places，Roman roads and water courses are still in use.To this day，and European in North Africa is likely to be called ―Roumi‖—Roman.Even modern place names are often inherited from ancient Rome.Both Greece and Germany bear the names given them by the Romans rather than the names that their own people first called them.（）59.The most northern part of the Roman Empire was _______.A.Spain
B.Africa
C.Syria
D.Britain
（）60.The main idea of paragraph 2 is that Roman culture is ________.A.dead and buried
B.based completely on language
C.still part of the present

B.The Roman Empire fell apart.C.The city of Rome was founded.D.London became the center of an empire.D
When water is heated until it boils，bubbles of gas appear and rise through the hot liquid.When an electric current passes through water in a process called electrolysis（電解），bubbles of gas appear and rise through the liquid.Superficially（表面地），the two events appear same.If the gas from the boiling water is examined，its properties are found to be the same as those of the water，Thus，if the steam is cooled to room temperature，a liquid is formed which is indistinguishable from the original water.When，however，the gas from the electrolysis equipment is cooled to room temperature，it remains a gas rather than becoming a liquid.Nor will it，at zero degrees centigrade or below，turn to solid，as will the gas from boiling water，These two processes，boiling and electrolysis，have clearly resulted in products with quite different properties.In boiling，the gas does not represent a new substance，but only a different state of the original substance.Electrolysis，on the other hand，has generated a product which is a new substance，or possibly a mixture of new substances.A change in state as represented by going from a liquid to a gas without the production of new substances in called a ―physical change‖。However，when a process takes place that produces new substances，this is called a ―chemical change‖ or a ―chemical reaction‖。In a chemical reaction，the initial substances are replaced by a new set of substances or products.（）63.Which of the following is the best title for this passage？
A.Electrolysis
B.Physical and Chemical Changes
C.Different Types of Water
D.Water Temperatures
（）64.At a temperature slightly above zero degrees centigrade，which of the following is true of gas produced by electrolysis？
A.It does not become liquid.B.It cannot be distinguished from water.C.It becomes a solid.D.It expands greatly.（）65.The passage is developed in the way of ________.A.argumentation
B.narration
C.comparison
D.listing examples
