12、tted 21. Treasure hunts（寻宝） have excited peoples imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevensons Treasure Island Kit Williams， a modern writer， had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues（线索） found in a book when he wro
13、te a childrens story，Masquerade， in 1979 The book was about a hare， and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare， but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings” ， or false clues，to mislead t
14、hem Ken Roberts， the man who found the hare， had been looking for it for nearly two years Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time， he found it by logic（逻辑）， not by luck His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start He had realized that the
15、 words： “One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon， the first of Henry VIIIs six wives Even here， however， Williams had succeeded in misleading him Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridge shire in 1536
16、and thought that Williams had buried the hare there He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill， in Bedfordshire， and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well， but he still c
17、ould not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon， until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773 Even then his search had not come to an end It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he de
18、cided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there Williams encouraged him to continue， and on February 24th 1982， he found the treasure It was worth 3000 in the beginning，but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable What is the most important
19、 clue in the story to help Ken Robertsfind the hare？ A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill B. Stevensons Treasure Island C. Katherine of Aragon D. Williams hometown 22.

23、n B. in C. when D. at 30. I came across an old country guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a super
24、ficial traveller in rural England might conclude that the village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction （收缩） of village commerce, b
25、ut its vigor is still remarkable. Our local grocers shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing （排队） up at a supermarket. And t
26、he proprietor （店主） knows well that personal service has a substantial cash value. His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling on the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old a
27、ge pensioner （领养老金 ） who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the groc
28、er, a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them. The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big ba
29、ttalions of industry or commerce. Another aspect of personal service available in the village shop is that_ A. there is a very wide range of goods available B. rare goods are obtained whenever they are needed C. special attention is given to the needs of wealthier customers D. goods are always resto
30、cked before they run out 31. The （ ） _ of invitation vary in different parts of the United States. A. consume B. consult C. customs D. cultural 32. Where are you going to have the TV set （ ） ?

31、y to coperate the FBI agents. A. nothing to do with B. anything to do with C. nothing to deal with D. anything to deal with 34. We apologize for any ( ) caused by the lack of housekeeping services. A. Inconvenience B. Convenience C. Inconvenient D. convenient 35. As they ( ) newspapers for a long ti
32、me, they knew nothing about the world. A. hadnt read B. didnt read C. havent read D. dont read 36. The number of the visitors, ( ) we had expected, was well over two hundred.

A. make commitment B. make compromise C. make contribution D. make combination 42. If I were you, I ( ) the job. A
35、. Accept B. would have accepted C. would accept D. had accepted 43. Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went t
36、o dinner or to parties at other peoples houses. Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “Weve been to a lot of other peoples houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustnt we?” “Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, wont it? Then we can start to invit
37、e people to dinner in small numbers next month.” So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, Ill invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.” “How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Dont invite too many.” Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing
38、, “Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.” “That isnt very nice, is it?” he said. “Youre telling our guests that they must go at 8:30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.” A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when
39、the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained（抱怨） .” Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go. When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him. “
40、That was a surprise, wasnt it? Who complained about the noise?” “I did,” Mr Harris answered in a tired voice. How long would Mrs. Harris like the party to last? A. From the morning till night. B.

44、a person were hurt, he would lose the power of doing certain things. And so people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modem research discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years there has been a
45、 great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have found out the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists fell us that about 100,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can r
46、emember everything that happens to us. We, may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is kept there in the storehouse (宝库 ) of the human brain. Earlier scientists thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been pr
