18、p it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the 36 side is as much interesting.

20、 the future is unpredictable (不可预料 )- the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 46. Thus you are 47 in a difficult position and feel sad.

But
26、 soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience. One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders,
27、 he said, “You dont say!” “You dont say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a proper topic. “Well, Id better change the topic.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave C
28、hina without seeing it. It was wonderful.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it”. Soon I was interrupted again by his words：“You dont say!” I couldnt help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk a
29、bout it?” “Well, I didnt request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didnt you say you dont say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “You dont say actually means really? It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you dont pay attention to English id
30、ioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students. 56. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because _ . A. English idioms were not important B.
31、I was not careful with English idioms C. My teacher didnt emphasize the importance of them D. I had no interest in them 57. At first, on hearing “You dont say,” I thought the foreigner meant _ .

A.I thought the Englishman had made me a fool B. the Englishman became a real fool C.I felt very silly D.I became more careful in everything B Plants seem to know which way is up and which way is down. Further m
34、ore, they seem to know right from left. If a cutting from a Lombardy poplar (白杨树) is kept alive, new shoots will grow from the end that grew upper most in the tree. There is no visible difference between the top and the bottom of the living stick, even under a microscope. Even so, the stick will not
35、 send out shoots from the end it views as bottom even if this end happens to be on top! Scientists studying this subject further split their cuttings lengthwise. To their surprise, they made another interesting discovery. A good many more buds (芽) grew on the right-hand side of the split surface tha
36、n on the left. They split the sticks again and found that the buds again grew on the right side. The results of the entire study showed a 60-40 preference（偏爱）for the right side, proving that growing plants are basically “right- handed”. 60. Scientists examining the ends of a fresh cutting find _. A.
37、very little difference between them B. one end slightly darker than the other C. no difference between them D. a difference that only the microscope reveals (展现) 61.

The Basis for Right-Handedness C The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you
40、are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “Im sorry, I cant sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.” “If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.” “I cant write you out a ticket. The computer is the only
41、one allowed to do so.” I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?” “We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or
42、not.” “So when it goes down, you go down with it.” “Thats good, sir.” “How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know. “I have no idea. Sometimes its down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. Theres no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since its down it wont answer us.”
43、 After the girl told me they had no backup(备用)computer, I said. “Lets forget the computer. What about your planes? Theyre still flying, arent they?” “I couldnt tell without asking the computer.” “Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if hes flying to Washington, ” I suggested. “I would
44、nt know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldnt take you if you didnt have a ticket.” “Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?” “I wouldnt know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only IT knows. It cant tell me.” By thi
45、s time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their baggage. 64. The best title for the article is _. A. When the Computer Is Down B. The Most Frig

49、ese,“ said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student. “The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents (居民), but for the people of the whole Chinese nation.“ Bidding for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing a more important part on the international stage.
