Even
22、 when walking along the sands, he was afraid of being cut off by the tide. Mr. Wilmot was not a very good swimmer, so perhaps this was why he disliked the sea.After working for some years in London, Mr. Wilmot was transferred (调动) to a town near the coast and, of course, the family often made trips
23、to the beach. One day his children asked him to take them out into the bay in a boat. The sun shone brightly. There was little wind and the water was calm. So Mr. Wilmot hired a boat and with his two children rowed out into the bay. At first all went well, but when they decided to turn back they fou
24、nd themselves faced with difficulties. A strong wind had sprung up (突然起来) and the currents (海浪) were rather dangerous.Mr. Wilmot rowed hard, but it seemed they were making little progress. The children were waving to attract the attention of the people on the beach. Just then a motor-boat appeared f
25、rom the direction of the bay. Their trouble had been noticed and the motor-boat had come to their rescue. A rope was soon attached (系上，栓上) and their boat was pulled back to the shore.Mr. Wilmots dislike of the sea became even stronger after this experience.（分数：3.00）(1).What seemed to be the reason f

27、her was nice and the sea was calm.B.He wanted to humor his children.C.He was in a very good mood that day.D.The bay looked exceptionally beautiful that day.(3).What CANNOT be inferred from the story?（分数：1.00）A.The sea can hardly be trusted even on a fine day.B.It is not safe for people to go boating
28、 in the open sea.C.People who know the sea well do not like it.D.Mr. Wilmot wouldnt want to go to the sea any more.BSome people have very good memories, and can easily learn quite long poems by hearts. There are other people who can only remember things when they have said them over and over.Charles
29、 Dickens, the famous English author, said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed. Many great men of the world have had wonderful memories.A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remem
30、bering what he hears when he is a small child. Some children like boys and girls who live in foreign countries with their parents seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one. In schools it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy
31、 with other subjects as well.The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photograph with a camera, there is much to do before the photograph is finished and ready to show to our friends. In t
32、he same way there is much work to be done before we can make a picture remain forever in the mind.Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.（分数：4.00）(1)._ have good memories.（分数：1.00）A.Some great peopleB.Only great peopleC.The children who live in foreign countries with their parentsD.The
33、pupils who study a second language in schools(2).It is said in the passage that Charles Dickens could remember things by（分数：1.00）A.looking at them over and overB.saying them over and overC.looking at them onceD.saying them loudly once(3).Everybody learns his own language by（分数：1.00）A.taking photogra
34、phs with a camera and remaining them in the mindB.being taught when he is a small childC.remembering what he hears when he is a small childD.going to other countries(4).Which of the following is true?（分数：1.00）A.Memory is very important in learning a foreign language.B.A person learns his own languag
35、e by remembering what he hears when he was born.C.An adult can pick up a language more easily than a child.D.Our memory is just like a camera.CAs a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the U. S. A. and Canada, now does not have many living things.Pollution in water is not simply a matte
36、r of “poisons“ killing large numbers of fish overnight.Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed until many months or years later because the first organisms (生物) to be affected are either plants or planktons (浮游生物). These organisms are the food of fish, birds, and other creatures. When th
37、is food disappears, the fish and birds would die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is not until dead fish and water birds are found at the rivers edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening.Where do the substances that pollute the water come from? There
38、are two main sources, sewage (生活污水) and industrial waste. As more detergent (洗涤剂) is used in the homes, more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas. Detergent harms water birds by breaking down the natural substances which keep their feathers waterproof. Sewage itself, if not properly
39、treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful since there are more highly poisonous materials in it, such as copper and lead.So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple. S
40、ewage and industrial waste must be made clean before flowing into rivers and seas. It may be already too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can be saved if the correct action is taken at once.（分数：4.00）(1).Pollution in water is noticed _.（分数：1.00）A.when poisons are poured into waterB.when
41、 a great many fish and birds dieC.when the first organisms are affectedD.as soon as the balance of nature is destroyed(2).The living things die because there is no _ in the river or sea.（分数：1.00）A.oxygenB.poisonC.waterD.fish(3).The way to stop water pollution is _.（分数：1.00）A.to put oxygen into the r
42、iverB.to realize the serious situation clearlyC.to make the waste materials harmlessD.to make special room in the sea for our waste(4).What is the meaning of the word “waterproof“ in the fourth paragraph?（分数：1.00）A.Covered with water.B.Full of water.C.Cleaned by water.D.Not allowing water to go thro
43、ugh.DMuseums have changed a lot. They are no longer places that people “should go“ but places people enjoy. At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the childrens museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There ar
44、e no “Do Not Touch“ signs in many museums in the USA.More and more museum directors have realized that people can learn best when they become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, operate and experiment so that they can discover scientific r
45、ules for themselves.The purpose is not only to interest the visitors, but also help them feel at home in the world of science. If people dont understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it.One cause of all these changes is the
46、increase in wealth and spare time. Another cause is the growing number of young people in the population. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in quite a new different way. They want art in which they can take part. The same is true of science and history.The old m
47、useums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new, modern museums. There are more than 6 000 museums in the United States and Canada, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago.（分数：4.00）(1).The directors of the museum have realized（分数：1.00）A.visitors prefer to lear
48、n from museumsB.people learn best when they look at somethingC.people can learn better if they take a partD.the importance of scientific roles(2).Why has growing population of young people caused the changes in museums?（分数：1.00）A.Because they are better educated.B.Because they have less spare time.C.Because they are stronger.D.Because there are more young people.(3).Science museums encourage visitors to touch, listen and operate in order to _.（分数：1.00）A.find out scientific rules for themselvesB.make them feel relaxedC.make them interested in scienceD.all of the above(4).Which
