17、tage and history, culture and cuisine are all part of a rewarding experience.The best reason for choosing to go on holiday to Scotland is: one of the last places inside the crowded and frenetic European Union where it is possible to be alone isolated countryside. This is not to say that Scotland, li
18、ke everywhere else, does not have its tourist traps, its crowded roads or its popular beauty spots. But it is relatively easy to escape from them.It would be a mistake to think that Scotland is merely an extension of England.Indeed, no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots. The

24、the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York Citys Pennsylvania Railway Station. After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. Id like to join them, thinking, “Everyone else is doing it.“When I got home that night, I told my dad what I w
25、anted to do. “You give an honest days work,“ he said, looking at me straight in the eye. “Theyre paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that.“I followed my dads advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.Of all the jobs Ive had, it was my experience at Pe
26、nnsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people wh
27、o steal.

31、ce as a baggage boy had a great influence on his later life（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Oceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea“.Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theo
32、retical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant (不愿意) to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travellers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let a
33、lone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?“ had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the
34、 route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the U. S. Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853 for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings were taken to investigate t
35、he depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was t
36、aken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years an
37、d brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.（分数：12.00）(1).The passage implies that the telegraph cable was built mainly _.A. for oceanographic studiesB. for
38、military purposesC. for business considerationsD. for investigating the depths of the oceans（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It was _ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.A. the American NavyB. some early intercontinental travellersC. those who earned a living from the seaD. the company which prop
39、osed to lay an undersea cable（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The aim of voyages Maury encouraged in the 1840s was _.A. to make some sound experiments in the oceansB. to collect samples of sea plants animalsC. to estimate the length of cable that was to be madeD. to measure the depths of two oceans（分数：3.00）A.B.
40、C.D.(4).“Defied“ in the 5th paragraph probably means _.A. doubted B. gave proof toC. challenged D. agreed to（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising range of clima
41、te. People who have never visited England or who have visited only one part of it often makes the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the clima
42、te is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire from the job in the north, they often prefer to move down to the south.Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of(is made up of) the counties of Devon and Cornwall, where palm trees, bamboo and many semi
43、tropical plants grow well. Flowers and vegetables ripen as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the areas gain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will prob
44、ably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of Englands most popular holiday areas.（分数：12.00）(1).The distance from the center of England to south coast is about _.A. one hundred milesB. three hundred milesC. one hundred and fifty milesD. six hundr
45、ed miles（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, _.A. flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the market one month earlierB. farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhereC. people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowersD. vege
46、tables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In the north of England and the Midland, _.A. it is cold and wet all the year roundB. the climate is pleasant as a wholeC. it is warm most of the time in a yearD. only the summer is not cold and wet（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.
47、(4).In winter, people in Devon and Cornwall, _.A. never see any snowB. seldom see snowC. often see snowD. may have seen several feet of snow（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Students all over the world have to work for their education. A college education in the United States is expensive. The costs are so high that
48、 most families begin to save for their childrens education when their children are babies. Even so, many young people cannot afford to pay the expenses of full-time college work. They do not have enough money to pay for school costs. Tuition for attending the university, books for classes, and livin
49、g expenses are high. There are other expenses such as chemistry and biology lab fees and special student activity fees for such things as parking permits and football tic, kets. The cost of college education increases every year. However, classrooms are still crowded with students. Some American students have scholarships or other support, but many do not.Students from other countries have money problems to overcome, t
