18、ss 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.

19、th coat trimmed with gray fur. He wants somehow to attract the brunettes 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 of the shadows of th

20、e 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 him, but when he sees

21、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 the pocket is empty. Whe

22、re 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 picked his pocket.What is he

23、 to do? He still has his ticket, safely tucked inside his suit coathe reaches into the jacket to feel the envelope, to make sure.

26、 “I dont 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 sounds wordier than stole or took

27、 or even ripped off.“I beg your pardon?“ the girl says.“I know you didat the magazine counter. If youll just give it back, we can forget the whole thing. If you dont, then Ill hand you over to the police.“She studies him, her face serious. “All right,“ she says. She pulls the black bag onto her lap,

Fixing their eyes on some round-number birth or death date of a major creator, they start planning to cash i

36、n years before. For 2006, birthdays are the winning numbers: Rembrandts 400th; Mozarts 250th; and the 100th for Samuel Beckett and Dmitri Shostakovich.The Dutch have organized a score of Rembrandt shows, starting appropriately with an exhibition based around his mother in the town of his birth, Leid

37、en. Mozarts 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 it showed him during his lifetime.But do such anniversaries and accompanying celebrations serve much purpo

38、se? 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 crowded out by the pygmies of popular culture?As it happens, the practice is not new. The birth of Bardolatry,

39、 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 playwrights birth (the jubilee was actually held in 1769, five years after the anniversary, but presumably time was more flexible

40、in those days).Until then, perhaps surprisingly, Shakespeare was not doing too well.

Then, after theaters reopened in 1660 with the Restoration of the monarchy, s

41、everal 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 a season these days without including at least one of his stage masterpieces: “Le Nozzedi Figaro,“ “Don Giovanni,“

43、of the following about Shakespeare can NOT be inferred from the passage?A. He became more and more famous after 1769.B. He was born in 1564.C. He was not so famous before 1769.D. His works were especially welcomed by people around 1660.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What does the author think of Mozart?A. He

44、contributed a lot to the development of music.B. He produced more musical works than Bach.C. He based his music on personal experience.D. He excelled more in sacred works than in instrumental works.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following about Rembrandt is NOT correct?A. There isnt any mystery s

45、urrounds Rembrandts life or death.B. He has more than 600 oils.C. The exhibitions of his compositions can draw many people.D.

47、ites.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 stars eccentri

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 out of orbit at each visit, some

49、 hurtle earthwardsand have several times nearly wiped out life on Earth.Astronomers have long wondered if the Sun has a smaller partner. Recently, two independent groups of researchers have found evidence of one.One group, led by John Matese, professor of physics at the University of Louisiana at Lafay
