III. Reading Comprehension:

Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations. Later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic. And that was where we stuck, in surgical instrument terms, for many years. In the 1960sa new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to revolutionize the art and science of surgery.

The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world, for a very large number of different complaints. The word laser means: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Light. As we all know, light is hot; any source of light---from the sun itself down to a humble match burning---will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam.

Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of the human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right through the eyeball. No knives, no stitches (刀口缝合), no unwanted damage--a true surgical wonder.

Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long periods of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. So much more difficult operations can now be tried.

The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but more effective. Altogether, tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically.
41.Up until the 1960s the instruments used to perform surgical operations
were ___ .
A. fashionable B. extraordinary C. special D. basic

42.After the development of the laser in the 1960s, we find that ___ .
A. medical help became available for industrial workers.
B. the study of art went through a complete revolution.
C. more and more surgeons began using surgical instruments.
D. man‘s whole approach to surgery changed completely

43.The laser beam is so strong because ___ .
A. it is composed of a concentrated beam of light
B. its heat is increased by the heat of the sun
C. it can be plugged into an ordinary light fitting
D. it sends out heat in many different directions

44.Surgeons can now carry out operations which ___ .
A. can be performed successfully only on the human eye
B. result in long periods of recovery time for patients
C. are made much more complicated by using the laser beam
D. result in very little damage to the patients themselves

45.The rapid development of laser techniques has meant that ___ .
A. in another ten years we shall be able to cure cancer
B. surgery is likely to improve considerably
C. we shall be able to treat all the diseases we suffer from
D. we are now able to treat most forms of cancer

In 1885 Owen Wister (1850-1938) recorded that "it won‘t be a century before the West is simply the true America, with thought, type, and life of its own" and he wanted "to be the hand that once, for all, chronicled and laid bare the virtues and the vices of this extraordinary phase of American social progress." He never became that self-envisioned Tolstoi of the old West, but in 1902 The Virginian was published. It won instant success and skyrocketed its author to fame. It is still the most popular "Western" novel ever published and the master design for the fiction of the Wild West.

The Virginian established a literary form, a formula popularly known as "horse opera", whose conventions, cliches, and values have reappeared in novels and short stories, in movies and television serials, ever since. The romantic cowboy is the hero and gentleman, one of those "good men in the humbler walks of life", who seems through shams, defends justice and a lady‘s honor, shoots it out with the villain and conquers evil. Because of the Virginian, Wister created a character who is the original type for the Western folk hero. He represents the embodiment of certain American ideals --- a man who is equal to all occasions, who shows independence of action, a man who keeps his word who is "a broad-guage fellow living among narrow-guage folk". But the literary device and cowboy code which Wister established dictated that the hero must kill the bad man. This necessity for sanctioning murder and romanticizing of the cowboy as a gentleman prohibited. The Virginian and the genre it created from becoming serious fiction, or even an authentic product of the western experience. Instead of achieving his ambition, therefore, Wister gave us a sort of American folk epic, the cowboy story.
46.Owen Wister believed ___ .
A. the way of life in the West in 1885 was a passing phase
b. the cowboy in 1885 symbolized the typical American male.
C. the West would be always isolated from the rest of the country by
its moral code.
D. none of these.

47.The reference to Wister as a self-envisioned Tolstoi implies that ___ .
A. The Virginian is as great a novel as War and Peace
B. Wister underestimated himself as an author
C. Wister wanted to be a writer of light novels
D. as Tolstoi had laid bare the virtues and vices of Russian society, so
Wister would do for the society of the American West.

48.Stylistically, The Virginian is noted for the fact that it ___ .
A. was written according to a pre-established formula.
B. established the formula known as "horse opera".
C. followed the literary conventions of the day.
D. abandoned American conventions in favor of foreign ones.

49. The popularity which was accorded The Virginian indicates that
Wister ___ .
A. realized his stated ambition
B. gave us an authentic account of the western experience
C. became the American Tolstoi
D. had written an account of the cowboy which appealed to American
aspirations
50.The author of the article believes that ___ .
A. The Virginian did not deserve the success it won
B. Wister made a definite contribution to American literature
C. Wister was a hack
B. cowboy stories should be considered serious fiction

Death comes quickly in the mountains. Each winter holiday makers are caught unawares as they happily ski away from the fixed runs, little realizing that a small avalanche can send them crashing in a bone-breaking fall down the slope and leave them buried under tons of crisp white snow. There are lots of theories about how to avoid disaster when hit by an avalanche. Practice is normally less cheerful.

The snow in the Salzburg of Austria where a recent disaster took place was typical avalanche material. For several days before the incident I had skied locally. Early winter snow was wearing thin and covered with ice. On top of that new, warmer flakes were gently falling to produce a dangerous carpet. To the skier who enjoys unmarked slopes it is tempting stuff, deep new power snow on a hard base---the skiing that dreams are made of. And sometimes nightmares.

Snow falls in sections like a cake. Different sections have different densities because of the temperatures at the time of the fall and in the weeks afterwards. Problems come when any particular section is too thick and not sticking to the section beneath. The snow of the past few weeks had been falling in rather higher temperatures than those of December and early January. The result of these conditions is that even a slight increase in the temperatures sends a thin stream of water between the new snow and the old. Then the new snow simply slides off the mountain.

Such slides are not unexpected. Local citizens know the slopes which tend to avalanche and the weather in which such slides are likely. Traps are set to catch the snow or prevent it slipping; bombs are placed and exploded from time to time to set off small avalanches before a big one has time to build up; and above all, skiers are warned not to ski in danger areas.

In spite of this, avalanches happen in unexpected areas and, of course, skier ignore the warnings. The one comfort to recreational skiers, however, is that avalanche incidents on the marked ski slopes are quite rare. No ski resort wants the image of being a death trap.
51.Each winter holiday makers in the mountains come face to face with
death because ___ .
A. they fail to realize how dangerous avalanches can be
B. they are not expert enough at skiing on the fixed runs
C. they are trying to avoid areas where avalanches happen
D. they ski great distances down the mountainsides

52. According to the writer, skiing conditions in the Salzburg area of Austria before the accident happened were ___ .
A. perfect for the inexperienced skier
B. unsafe because the new snow was covered with ice
C. typical of conditions resulting in avalanches
D. suitable only for skiing locally

53. It would appear from the text that avalanches are brought about
because ___ .
A. a particular section of snow is not thick enough
B. there is a slight fall in the temperature
C. heavy snowfalls turn into rain
D. the ice between different sections of snow melts

54. In areas where avalanches are known to happen ___ .
A. local residents stay indoors when the weather is bad
B. measures are taken to prevent serious avalanches
C. small avalanches can easily be prevented
D. skiers form themselves into a wall to keep the snow in position

55.Although accidents do happen, skiers will be reasonably safe if ___ .
A. they stay on the officially approved slopes
B. they ski only for pleasure
C. they ski only at resorts
D. they choose less crowded ski slopes

The English, as a race, are very different from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.

Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigner she often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner; no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, "On entering a railway carriage shake hands with all the passengers." Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspect.

In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc., often accompanied by appropriate gestures. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than any other nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young Girl. Whereas a more emotional man might describe her as "an excellent jewel", "extremely beautiful", "precious", the Englishman will flatly state "Um, she‘s all right". An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, "It‘s not bad, you know," or on seeing very unusual scenery he might convey his pleasure by saying, "Nice, yes, very nice." The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement; he must realize that "all right", "not bad", and "nice", very often have the sense of "first-class", "excellent", "beautiful". This special use of language, particularly common in England, is known as restrained statement.
56. From the passage people can infer that the English are different from
other nationalities mainly in ___ .
A. taste B. character
C. the principle of behavior D. all aspects

57.If one doesn‘t want to be suspected in public, he had better
A. behave relaxed ___ .
B. shake hands with all people he meets
C. talk with others D. keep quiet

58.The word "inhibited" most nearly means ___ .
A. friendly B. polite C. afraid D. restrained

59. According to the passage, the Englishman ___ .
A. has less feelings than other nationalities
B. has emotions as deep as any other nationalities
C. expresses emotion by use of his language
D. likes to have a joke with foreign visitors

60.An Englishman‘s saying "all right" usually has the sense of ___ .
A. "not bad" B. "quite right"
C. "fairly good" D. "very good"

Directions: Translate the following part into Chinese.
Historically, Jeep‘s reputation as a go-anywhere vehicle dates back to the Second World War when the original Jeeps, supplied by the Willys company, carried Allied forces through the Pacific and Europe.
　　The Macquarie Dictionary of Motoring says the mane Jeep stemmed from the United States Army‘s decision to call the vehicle GP, for General Purpose vehicle. The name was eventually corrupted to "jeep," from the pronunciation of the letters GP, and became a trademark owned by the Willy company.
　　Jeep became part of Chrysler in 1988 and the company has since spent a lot of money to revitalize the Jeep production facilities, and to increase the number and style of models available. Chrysler says the Jeep‘s wartime reputation and rugged image undoubtedly helped it to carve out a new role in peacetime as a recreational vehicle. It says the Jeep created the original market for recreational, off-road vehicles using the powerful four-wheel drive traction (known commercially as 4 WD) for which the army jeep was famous.

在历史上，吉普车以其能适应各种路况的出众性能而著称于世。这种美名可以追溯到二战期间，当时由威利斯公司提供的最初型号的吉普车载着盟军部队驰骋于太平洋沿岸及欧洲战场。
《麦氏汽车驾驶大全》一书认为，“吉普”这个名字起源于美国军队决定把这种车辆叫做GP（for General Purpose）即多功能车之意。而后，GP这两个字母的读音被误发成为“吉普”，并成为威利斯公司享有的商标名称。
1988年吉普为克莱斯勒公司所有，此后该公司投入了大量资金更新改造吉普车的生产设备，提高吉普车的产量并开发各种新车型应市。克莱斯勒公司称吉普车在战争年代享有的盛名以及其坚固耐用的形象无疑会有助于它在和平时期树立其作为休闲娱乐车的新形象。该公司说，吉普为休闲，越野车开发了新市场，它有强劲的4轮牵引装置（商业上称为4轮驱动），过去军用吉普车曾因此而享誉四方。

How To Solve The Energy Problems
Energy is one of the biggest problems people are faced with today. Not a few far-sighted people point out that our natural resources are very much limited. If we keep consuming our resources at the present rate, they warn, the world will soon be running out of oil, coal and metals and this will certainly lead to a serious energy crisis threatening mankind’s survival.
The majority of the world’s people have responded with a clamor for more severe conservation of our natural resources. This is urgently necessary, indeed. It must be realized that much of our energy, in the form of oil, coal, gas, or electricity, has been wantonly consumed. If things go on like this, we will leave for our descendants a devastated world, a vast stretch of wasteland. So, from now on, we will have to make serious efforts to practise economy in using energy and cut down waste of any form so as to slow down the present drain on our limited resources.
But conservation alone is not all the answer. The best way to solve the energy problem is, I think, to develop new sources of energy. It is obvious that, even if we save much energy by using it carefully, our natural resources, however abundant, will run out ultimately. And when they are unexplored areas seems to be the only way out of our predicament.
