She has glossy b
12、lack hair pulled tightly into a knot at the back of her head and carries over she shoulder of her leather coat a heavy black purse. She wears black boots of soft leather and her beauty quickens his heart beat. The man gives up looking at the womanhe thinks she may be about twenty-fiveand buys a roun
13、d-trip, coach class ticket to an eastern city. His flight leaves in an hour. To kill time, the man steps into one of the airport cocktail bars and orders a Scotch and water. While he sips it he catches sight of the black-haired girl in the leather coat. She is deep in conversation with a second girl
14、, a blond in a cloth coat trimmed with gray fur. He wants somehow to attract the brunette“s attention, to invite her to have a drink with him before her own flight leaves for wherever she is traveling, but even though he believes for a moment she is looking his way he cannot catch her eye from out o
15、f the shadows of the bar. In another instant the two women separate; neither of their direction is toward him. When next he sees her, he is buying a magazine to read during the flight and becomes aware that someone is jostling him. At first he is startled that anyone would be so close as to touch hi
16、m, but when he sees who it is he musters a smile. “Busy place,“ he says. She looks up at him, and an odd grimace crosses her mouth and vanishes. She moves away and joins the crowds in the terminal. The man is at the counter with his magazine, but when he reaches into his back pocket for his wallet t
17、he pocket is empty. Where could I have lost it? He thinks. His mind begins enumerating the credit cards, the currency, the membership and identification cards; his stomach churns with something very like fear. The girl who was so near to me, he thinksand all at once he understands that she has picke
18、d his pocket. What is he to do? He still has his ticket, safely tucked inside his suit coathe reaches into the jacket to feel the envelope, to make sure. He can take the flight, call someone to pick him up at his destination. But in the meantime he will have to do something about the lost credit car

First, find a policeman, tell what has happened, describe the young woman. He grits his teeth. He will probably never see his wallet a
20、gain. He is trying to decide if he should save time for talking to a guard near the X-ray machines when he is appalled and elated to see the black-haired girl. She seems engrossed in a book. A seat beside her is empty, and the man occupies it. “I“ve been looking for you,“ he says. She glances at him
21、 with no sort of recognition. “I don“t know you,“ she says. “Sure you do.“ She sighs and puts the book aside. “Is this all you characters think aboutpicking up girls like we were stray animals? What do you think I am?“ “You lifted my wallet,“ he says. He is pleased to have said “lifted“, thinking it
22、 sounds wordier than “stole“ or “took“ or even “ripped off“. “I beg your pardon?“ the girl says. “I know you didat the magazine counter. If you“ll just give it back, we can forget the whole thing. If you don“t, then I“ll hand you over to the police.“ She studies him, her face serious. “All right,“ s
23、he says. She pulls the black bag onto her lap, reaches into it and draws out a wallet. He takes it from her. “Wait a minute,“ he says, “This isn“t mine.“ The girl runs, he bolts after her until he hears a woman“s voice behind him: “Stop, thief! Stop that man!“ Ahead of him the brunette disappears ar
24、ound a corner and in the same moment a young man in a marine uniform puts out a foot to trip him up. He falls hard, banging knee and elbow on the tile floor of the terminal, but manages to hang on to the wallet which is not his. The wallet is a woman“s, fat with money and credit cards, and it belong
25、s to the blonde in the fur-trimmed coatthe blonde he has earlier seen in conversation with the criminal brunette. She, too, is breathless, as is the police man with her. “That“s him,“ the blonde girl says, “He lifted my billfold.“ It occurs to the man that he cannot even prove his own identity to th
26、e policeman. Two weeks laterthe embarrassment and rage have diminished, the family lawyer has been paid, the confusion in his household has recededthe wallet turns up without explanation in one morning“s mail. It is intact, no money is missing, all the cards are in place. Though he is relieved, the

Fixing
30、their eyes on some round-number birth or death date of a major creator, they start planning to cash in years before. For 2006, birthdays are the winning numbers: Rembrandt“s 400th; Mozart“s 250th; and the 100th for Samuel Beckett and Dmitri Shostakovich. The Dutch have organized a score of Rembrandt
31、 shows, starting appropriately with an exhibition based around his mother in the town of his birth, Leiden. Mozart“s music will be heard more than usual in churches, concert halls and opera houses around the world, with his birthplace, Salzburg, once again trying to compensate for the indifference i
32、t showed him during his lifetime. But do such anniversaries and accompanying celebrations serve much purpose? Are they just marketing devices to sell tickets to museums and performances? Or do they help draw the attention of younger generations to the giants of Western culture who at times seem crow
33、ded out by the pygmies of popular culture.“? As it happens, the practice is not. new. The birth of Bardolatry, or Shakespeare worship, is generally traced to the Shakespeare Jubilee, which was organized by the actor-manager David Garrick to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the playwright“s birth (
34、the jubilee was actually held in 1769, five years after the anniversary, but presumably time was more flexible in those days). Until then, perhaps surprisingly, Shakespeare was not doing too well. The popularity of many of his plays did not survive the 18-year-long closure of London“s theaters durin
35、g the Civil War and Cromwell“s rule. Then, after theaters reopened in 1660 with the Restoration of the monarchy, several of his major works“Richard III“ and “King Lear“ among themwere drastically revised by other playwrights. Today, Mozart, for one, is hardly in need of revival. No opera house plans
36、 a season these days without including at least one of his stage masterpieces: “Le Nozze di Figaro,“ “Don Giovanni,“ “Cosi fan tutte“ and “Die Zauberfl6te.“ His “Requiem,“ “Coronation Mass“ and other sacred works are regularly performed. His instrumental workshe wrote hundredskeep soloists and orche
37、stras busy throughout the year. A more interesting reflection for Jan. 27, the 250th anniversary of his birth, is: How would Western culture have fared without Mozart? True, the same question might be asked of myriad great artists who have bequeathed beauty, emotion and understanding. Yet Mozart was
38、 unique, not only because he excelled in every kind of music (while, say, Verdi and Wagner were great composers only of opera), but also because, more even than Bach, he turned listening into a deeply personal experience. There is that perennial: Who killed Mozart? In Peter Schaffer“s 1979 play, “Am
39、adeus,“ adapted as an Oscar- winning movie by Milos Forman in 1984, the finger of guilt was pointed at Mozart“s contemporary, Antonio Salieri. But even that charge was old hat: Pushkin first raised it in his 1830 play, “Mozart and Salieri,“ which Rimsky-Korsakov adapted as an opera in 1897. Still, t
40、he question is again being trotted out for the anniversary. No such mystery surrounds Rembrandt“s life or death. But if his greatness was only fully recognized in the 19th century, he certainly is in need of no anniversary “special offers“ to be admired today. His more than 600 oils are in collectio
41、ns around the world and, whenever selected for exhibitions, they draw huge crowds. The organizers of Rembrandt 400, as the anniversary has been tagged, evidently again have crowds in mind, hoping that some 250,000 people will travel to the Netherlands for the occasion. Will Rembrandt“s fans cross pa
42、ths with those of Mozart? If they did, they might find that their idols have something in common. In his 75 or so self-portraits, recording his passage from youth to old age, Rembrandt seems to offer a window into his soul. Cannot Mozart“s compositions also be considered as self-portraits? Certainly
43、, it is by displaying their intimacy that they share their genius with us. But of course only time will define their place in the pantheon. As happened to Rembrandt and many others, great artists are often forgotten before they are enshrined by posterity. After that, thankfully, anniversaries make l
44、ittle difference.（分数：4.00）(1).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：1.00）A.Mozart“s music used to be played only in churchB.Mozart“s music has always been welcomed by peopleC.Rembrandt once painted a lot about his motherD.Rembrandt was brought up by his mother only(2).Which of the following

Scientists have found compelling evidence that the Sun has a baby brother, a dark star whose eccentric orbit is responsible for periodically showering the Earth with comets and meteorites.
48、The dark starnamed Nemesis by astronomersis thought to be a brown dwarf that spins round the Sun in an orbit so large that it is measured in light years, the distance light travels in a year, equivalent to about 6,000 billion miles. The research suggests that, every 26m years, the star“s eccentric orbit brings it within one light year of the solar system. There it causes havoc in the Oort Cloud, a huge region surrounding the solar system that contains billions of bits of cosmic rubble left over from the formation of planets. Of the millions of rocks it throws
