The first great inventio
16、n was _35_ that is still very important today-the wheel(轮子 ). This made it easier to _36_ heavy things and to travel long distances. For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that have as much _37_ as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to _38_ . There was little un
17、known land in the world. People did not _39_ to explore any more. They began to work so as to _40_ life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. _41_ them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big _42_ of our life today. The firs
18、t part of the 20th century saw more great _43_ : the helicopter in 1909; movies with sound in 1926; the computer in 1928; and jet planes in 1930.

19、of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over _47_ .They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live _48_ lives. By the 1960s most people could _49_ to live at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions _50_ to be made. But man
20、 now had a desire to explore again. The world was _51_ to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into _52_ . Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, _53_ China and Japan, have made their steps into space. In 1969 man took his
21、biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a _54_ thought.

25、est neighbors, the French, the Belgians and the Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other natio
26、nalities. 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 foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of t
27、his. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner, and 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
28、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 suspected. In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc,
29、often accompanied by appropriate gesture. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than anyone of a different 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
30、of a young girl. A more emotional man might describe her state “Oh, she is a goddess”, whereas an Englishman might just say “Oh, shes all right.” An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, “Its not bad you know”, or on seeing some very
31、unusual scenery he might convey (表达 ) his pleasure by saying, “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement. Instead, he must realize that “all right,” “not bad,” and “nice,” very often have the sense of “first-class,” “excell
32、ent,” “beautiful”. This unique style of language use is particularly common in England, and is known as restrained statement. 55. According to the passage, the English are different from other nationalities in _. A. habits B. attitudes C. character D. all of the above 56. The underlined word “restra
33、ined” in the second paragraph probably means “ ”. A. calm and controlled B. polite and friendly C. nervous and quiet D. silent and kind 57. In Britain, if you dont want other people to think you are strange, youd better _. A. talk with others as much as possible B. behave just like the English do C.
34、 say nothing about yourself D. shake hands with everyone you meet 58. If an Englishman says “all right”, it may mean “_”. A. not bad B. correct C. quite right D. wonderful 59. From the passage, we can infer that an Englishman _. A. doesnt like to show his feelings so much B. has less emotion than pe
35、ople of other nationalities C. finds it easy to express his emotion D. likes to have a joke with strangers B A university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent” woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of （证明有罪） shoplifting for the second time in six months. Ana Luz, r
36、ecently studying for her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops . Luz ,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road, Cambridge, admitted stealing clothes worth 9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street, London, on March 9. Phillip Lemoyne,
37、 prosecuting（起诉 ） , said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies toilet in the store .When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected, having taken off the anti-theft security alarms（防盗警报装置） . She was stopped and caught after leaving the store
38、without paying, Mr Lemoyne said. He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions. Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble with the police before that. “She is asha
39、med and embarrassed but doesnt really have any explanation why she did this ,” Miss Duff said . “She didnt intend to steal when she went into the store. She is at a loss to explain it . She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady. She went to her doctor and asked for advice becaus
40、e she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this.” Judge David Azan fined Luz 50, and warned : “Youve got a criminal record. If you carry on like this, you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future you may have.” Luz achieved a degree in design at uni
41、versity in her native Spain, went on to a famous university in Berlin, Germany for her masters degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, UK. 60 What does the underlined sentence “She is at a loss to explain it” mean? A In her opinion it was a loss to the clothes shops where she s
42、tole things . B She doesnt have any idea why she has the desire to steal from shops . C She thinks it is a loss for her to explain why she stole things from shops. D Personally she feels ashamed and embarrassed for her shoplifting actions. 61 Which of the following best explains the meaning of the w
43、ord “shoplifting” in the passage? A .Carrying goods in a lift for a shop. B Taking goods to the ladies toilet . C Selecting some goods from a display.

44、na Luz is ashamed and embarrassed and knows why she often did so C the university graduate will be put in prison if she steals in shops once more D Phillip Lemoyne is the “respectable and intelligent” womans defense lawyer 63 What would be the best title for the passage ?

45、hD Student B Apologizing for the Actions in Shops C. Seeking Professional Help from Experts D Controlling the Desire to Steal from Shops C Allen: Ive never been a big fan of the bears, especially the vacation show. On my last trip to Disneyland(1999) we passed it by, because we didnt want to spend t
46、he time on something we didnt really enjoy. If wed known it would be closed by our next visit, Im sure we would have watched it one more time. I was just making the point that it wasnt until Disney announced the closing that this feeling suddenly sprang(弹跳 ) up for the Country Bear show at Disneyland. But I think the idea of keeping some attractions open forever regardless of the number of visitors it gets is a mistake. We all h
