It was an eccentric(怪癖的) farmer. I had never met him bef
24、ore although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn“t the slightest idea who she was but I obviously ha
25、d to go. It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn“t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone even my own wife!“ he said. I could see that he had been
26、 crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal (丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn (厩). “I wouldn“t leave her out in the cold!“ he said. Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cov
27、er anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldn“t let anyone but a doctor touch her!“ he said, and burst into tears again.(分数:4.00)(1).Milly _.(分数:1.00)A.had had a very bad accidentB.was the farmer“s wifeC.wa

30、the serious work of an office, secretaries were men. Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man“s secretary became his personal sen, ant, charged with remembering his wife“s birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies
31、 on the telephone to keep people he did not wish to speak to at bay; and, of course, typing and filling and taking shorthand. Now all this may be changing again. The microchip and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical work that secretaries did. “
32、Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve only the high-powered work and then men will want to do it again“. That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicte
33、d is already under way in the U. S Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine, will there be a male take over? Men should beware of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they not just because t
34、hey can buy negligees(妇女长睡 衣) for the boss“s wife, but because they are as efficient and well- trained to cope with word processors and computers, as men.(分数:4.00)(1).Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they _.(分数:1.00)A.were less efficient than menB.were not as serious as menC.wore sto

36、now done by _.(分数:1.00)A.machinesB.other staffC.servantsD.wives(4).A secretary in the future will _.(分数:1.00)A.be better paidB.have higher statusC.have less work to doD.have more work to doCThe English author, Richard Savage, was once living in London in great poverty. In order to earn a little mone
37、y he had written the story of his life, but not many copies of the book had been sold in the shop, and Savage was living from hand to mouth . As a result of his lack of food he became very ill, but after a time, because of the skill of the doctor who had looked after him, he got well again. After a
38、week or two the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his visits, but poor Savage hadn“t any money and couldn“t pay it. The doctor waited for another month and sent the bill again. But still no money came. After several weeks he sent it to him again asking for his money. In the end he came to Savage“s ho
39、use and asked him for payment, saying to Savage, “You know you owe your life to me and I expected some gratitude from you“. “I agree,“ said Savage, “that I owe my life to you, and to prove to you that I am not ungrateful for your work I will give my life to you.“ With these words he handed to him tw

It lasted almost two months, but in Aug
43、ust it ended. It left 45 people dead and $10 billion worth of damage in nine states of the USA. It was quite a big Mississippi flood ever recorded. In St. Louis, Missouri, 9,000 people were forced to leave their homes while the city was in danger. St. Louis is just downriver from the points where th
44、e Missouri and Illinois Rivers flow into the Mississippi. All the three rivers were flooding. But the city escaped the worst when levees broke upriver. A levee is built of river sand and clay. Eleven miles of flood walls were built in the late 1960s. The walls are 18 inches thick and 5 to 22 feet hi
45、gh. They were designed to protect against a 52-foot flood. In St. Louis, water almost reached the top of flood walls. It measured 49.4 feet.(分数:3.00)(1).The flood referred to in the passage _.(分数:1.00)A.was the heaviest one in the historyB.happened in Missouri and Illinois statesC.happened in less t
46、han 20 percent of the states of the USAD.was recorded several times(2).The highest flood referred to in the passage was about _.(分数:1.00)A.18 feet highB.5 to 22 feet highC.nearly 50 feet highD.52 feet high(3).The meaning of the words “But the city escaped the worst“ is that _.(分数:1.00)A.many people
47、escaped from the cityB.the city avoided the worst situationC.the flood attacked the city heavilyD.the flood did not attack the city at allEReading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir which may be called experience, and the college students
48、will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly any college student who does not look down upon them. The information from them differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part the explanations of why things happen is frequ
49、ently quite fantastic. But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens, and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college students will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he. Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional p
