She had one big ambitionto play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy. One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because theres no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to bee a sort of musical astronaut. With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child. It wasnt long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band. Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: If those old people next door hadnt mattered so much to me, I wouldnt have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.36. Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places?A. Because she didnt want others to hear her play.B. Because she didnt mean to disturb others.C. Because she didnt have her own room.D. Because she didnt like her neighbors.37. Brenda started to give concerts _.A. after she practiced in her space bubbleB. when she became part of the unique space journeyC. after she became a real musical astronaut D. when people came to see her in the space bubble38. Brenda became famous because _.A. she was good at music and scienceB. she became a real musical astronautC. she invented a special way of practiceD. she played well and had a talent39. Which of the following can be used to describe Brenda?A. Kind, hardworking and clever. B. Brave, kind and hardworking.C. Lovely, brave and kind. D. Nervous, kind and clever.40. It can be inferred from the text that: _.A. He laughs best who laughs last B. Its never too old to learnC. Two heads are better than one D. One good turn deserves anotherBFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(迷),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皱的).” Today David wears casual clothes khaki pants and a sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “Im working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel fortable.”More and more panies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s, many panies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really bee an everyday thing,” said business adviser Maisly Jones.Why have so many panies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a pany to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software pany, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing fortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and pany, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”41.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because _.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the timeC. he couldnt stand a clean appearanceD. he didnt want to spend much money on clothes42.

According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.B. pany workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.C.

In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT _.A. saving workers moneyB. making workers more attractiveC. improving workers feelingD. making workers happierCFrank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also practical and useful. They fit their purposes very well. Wrights churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel fortable at home. However, Frank Lloyd Wrights beautiful, practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason.Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wrights buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wrights ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wrights Style of Architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wrights house are parallel（平行的）to the horizon, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90angles with the horizon.46. Frank Lloyd Wrights style in architecture was _.A. learned from some European countriesB. not only limited to the U.SC. no longer popularD. somewhat similar to the European style47. Which of the following best describes the character of the houses that Wright designed?A. They were very large and beautiful.B. They were very fortable.C. They could be used as churches.D. They were beautiful in design but not practical in use.48. Whats the most important idea in Wrights style? A. Architectural design should match natural surroundings. B. A building must have grassland around it. C. American style in architect should be different from the Europeans D. Design should be more important than use.49. Which of the following is NOT true about Wrights “grass-land houses”?A. The lines of “grass-land houses” are similar to lines on the grassland.B. The lines of “grass-land houses” are horizontal.C. The color of the lines of “grass-land houses” is green.D. They are different from European style houses.50. The best title for this passage would be _.A. The Differences between the American and European Styles in ArchitectureB. “Grass-land” houses Designed by Wright C. How to Make Your Houses More BeautifulD. The Influence of Wright on American ArchitectureDWe now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter. We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes its an ingredient in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say “Ugh!” and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.The word “chocolate” es from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion.In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce. 51. It was _that discovered sugar could remove the bitter taste of cacao.A.

Perhaps youre not certain what benefits you can get from an extended stay in a foreign country. Here are some very excellent reasons why you should study in a foreign county? 1. Studying abroad is the best way _. There is no better and more effective way to learn a language than to study in a culture that speaks the language youre learning.

Studying abroad provides the opportunity to travel. Weekends and academic breaks allow you to venture out and explore your surroundings both your immediate and more distant surroundings. Since studying abroad often puts you in a pletely different country, you are much closer to places you might otherwise not have had the opportunity to visit. 3. Studying abroad allows you to get to know another culture at first hand. Cultural differences are more than just habits. A persons culture reflects very deep thoughts, beliefs, and values that influence his or her way of life and that he or she views the world. Students who experience cultural differences personally can truly understand where other cultures are ing from. 4. Studying abroad affords you the opportunity to make friends around the world. While abroad, you will meet not only natives to the culture in which you are studying, but also other international students who are as far from home as you. 5. Studying abroad raises employment opportunities. As the world continues to bee more globalized, American countries are increasingly investing dollars abroad, and panies from countries around the world continue invest in the international market. Through an employers eyes, a student who has studied abroad is independent。 Your experience living and studying in a foreign country, knowing about other culture and another language will make you have many advantages over the other job applicants.（求职者）56.
