(铺路公司) in Atlanta, USA. In the following account, she recalls the job that challenged her16and skill but left her flying high.“When the Atlanta Airport was under17 in 1979, we were a new company struggling to make it. National Car Rental wanted to have 2,500 square meters of dirt paved18the cars could be on site19the airport opened, and the official opening was only ten days away! 20other local paving company wanted to do the job,21it couldnt be done in such a short time.“Because we were new and really needed the work, we were 22 to try harder. We gave National Car Rental our offer and 23 our best effort to get the job finished within ten days. We also 24 them that if we failed, they would be no worse off, 25 they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.“We got the job and immediately went into 26 . Working at night needed lights, so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site. Our 27 challenge was to keep the rock mixture 28 enough. All the available water wagons (洒水车) were rented out for the airport construction, and we certainly couldnt afford to buy a new one. 29 , I got a special 30 to rent fire engine hoses (消防水龙带) and connect them to nearby hydrants (消防栓); then I 31 held one of those hoses to 32 down the rock.“Those ten days were filled with challenges that 33 one creative idea after another. Nine days later, the night before the airport opened, National Car Rental was the 34 company that had cars on the parking lot.“The key to our success was having the 35 to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”16.

Murder the referee（裁判）！” These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But lets not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotation(涵义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terrors. The dictionary meaning of the term opponent is adversary”; enemy; one who opposes your interests. Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate ones intellect, and every action, no matter how gross (rude), may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a players request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed, Are they wet enough now? In the heat of battle players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponents international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly, gives proof of a court attitude which departs from (goes against) normal behavior. Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term opponent with associate could be an ideal way to start. The dictionary meaning of the term associate is colleague, friend, companion. Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term associate rather than opponent. 36. Which of the following statements best expresses the authors view? A. Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences. B. The words people use can influence their behavior. C. Unpleasant words in Sports are often used by foreign athletes. D. Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field. 37. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _. A. are too eager to win B. are usually short-tempered and easily offended C. cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition D. treat their rivals as enemies 38. What did the handball player, do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves? A. He refused to continue the game. B. He angrily hit the referee with a ball. C. He claimed that the referee was unfair. D. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt. 39. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by _. A. calling on players to use clean language on the court B. raising the referees sense of responsibility C. changing the attitude of players on the sports field D. regulating the relationship between players and referees BOur plan was to drive into Cambridge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station, then to separate and meet again for lunch. We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9:19, but due to a typical London fog, the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan, my wifes sister, decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadnt decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didnt find her. It was now one oclock, and the concert began at 2:30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” suggested my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by underground railway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it. Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road. By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. Tired and hungry we finally reached home at ten, opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell. It was Joan; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night. Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally successful day.40. Why was Joan separated from her sister and her brother-in-law?A. they could not see each other because of the fog.B. Joan had not seen Crown Jewels.C. They planned to do different things until lunch time.D. The writer didnt want to go to the concert.41. What did the writer plan to do in the afternoon?A. Go to the concert. B. See the Crown Jewels.C. Return to Cambridge.D. Go shopping.42. The reason why they didnt all meet for lunch was that _.A.

Its quite clear that for Joan the trip to London had been _.A. spilt by the fogB. quite tiringC. rather disappointingD. very enjoyable CThe scientist from the Lockheed Space Company work in Felton, California, with the help of a computer. But the computer is placed in Sunnyside, about 80 kilometers away. What scientists input (输入) is sent by telephone lines to the computer, and after a time, copies of the designs are needed back in Felton as quickly as possible Lockheed people have tried several ways of sending the prints, but the most effective seems to be by pigeon. Are pigeons really used to carry messages in these days? They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than any other way. Human messengers are much more expensive and slower than the pigeons. The road to Felton goes through the mountains, and the driving is not easy. An electronic printout (电子打印输出) system could do the work in Felton, but at a cost of 10 dollars a print. Pigeons carry the designs for about 1 dollar each. Now Lockheed people have ten pigeon messengers. The pigeons do the work, and they have made Lockheed more famous. You can often read the news about pigeons in the newspapers around the world. 44. The passage is mainly about _.A. Felton, California B. the scientistsC. how to work with computers D. sending prints by pigeon45. This story is unusual because pigeons _.A. dont like carrying things B. are often expensive to keepC. seem out of place in the space age D. arent friendly to the scientists46. Something thats effective _.A. usually costs more B. is something that worksC. is often unhappy D. is often done by animals47. Which happened first?A. Pigeons were used as messengers. B. Human messengers were used.C. What the scientists input was sent to the computer. D. Scientists got their designs.DSpecial Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road- Reported by Sheila CarrickWhy did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road. Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Road kill. Ecopassages may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts, said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society. But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage. Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!48. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that_.Awild animals have become more dangerousBthe driving conditions have improved greatlyCthe measure for protecting wildlife fails to workDan increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents 49. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is_.Aan underground path for cars Ba fence built for the safety of the areaCa bridge for animals to get over a river Da pass for animals to cross the road 50. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means_.Aanimals begin to realize the dangers on the road Banimals begin to learn to use ecopassages Canimals are crossing the road in groups Danimals are increasing in number51. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because_.Awild animals may attack cars Bwild animals may jam the roadCthey may see wild animals in the park Dthey may see wild animals on ecopassages EBooks which give instructions on how to do things are very popular in the United States today.
