21、 ) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jacks dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp. “So, “ Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name? “Are you sure you want to hear it? Its a scary sto

22、ry, “ warned Jack. “Of course!“ cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldnt have chosen this place!“ “OK, but dont say I didnt warn you, “ said Jack, and he began his tale. “ Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to

23、 live in. In those days, the area looked quite different it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice. “ “ You are clearing too m

24、uch land, warned one old man. “ The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. “ “Silly fool“, said Dennis to himself. “If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. Ill become wealthier. Hes just jealous!“ “Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them

25、for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice, the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants. “ “What happened? “ Martin asked. It was

26、 growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire. “The land hit back just as the old man warned, “ Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found. “ “ What a stupid sto

27、ry, “ laughed Tom. “ Plants cant“ Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒 ). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing.

31、 people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War. It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and M

32、arlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团 ). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400, 000 people yearly. At the same time, the “Fringe“ appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned tip uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyon

33、e should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years. Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform t

34、heatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh. Today the “Fringe“ , once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1, 500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19

35、theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big. A paid administrator (行政人员 ) was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1, 695 shows by over 600

36、different groups from 50 different countries.

37、om Europe. 22 Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947? （ A） They owned a public house there. （ B） They came to take up a challenge. （ C） They thought they were also famous. （ D） They wanted to take part in the festival. 23 Who joined the “Fringe“ after it appeared? （ A） Popul

38、ar writers. （ B） University students. （ C） Artists from around the world. （ D） Performers of music and dance. 24 We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival_. （ A） has become a non-official event （ B） has gone beyond an art festival （ C） gives shows all year round （ D） keeps growing rapidly 2

39、5 The first group of students making the journey to the Scottish capital to perform theater is from_. （ A） Oxford University （ B） Edinburgh University （ C） Cambridge University （ D） Birmingham University 25 There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and

40、 efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very slowly throughout: others dash along too quickly and then have to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can

41、move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in th

42、e whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Conse

43、quently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points. A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading, in which th

44、e reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable pr

45、actice is required to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text. 26 The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed_. （ A） among readers who have different experience （

46、B） among all the readers （ C） between the poorly educated and the highly educated （ D） among the highly educated people 27 A good reader is a reader who_. （ A） concentrates on the wonderful part of the article （ B） always reads slowly and carefully （ C） changes his speed according to the kind of tex

47、t （ D） changes his speed according to the interesting of the text 28 The author says that when reading a novel, a good reader can quickly read_. （ A） every part of the book （ B） the most wonderful part in the book （ C） the major part in the book （ D） the scientific part of the book 29 The last two s

48、entences of the first paragraph mean that_. （ A） a reading speed too slow for a difficult book is just right for a non-serious one （ B） a reading speed too slow for a non-serious book may be too fast for a difficult one （ C） A reading speed too fast for difficult material is just right for a non-ser

49、ious book is also too slow for a difficult one （ D） A reading speed too slow for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult one 30 Which of the following can be the tide of the passage? （ A） Reading and listening. （ B） Difference between highly-educated and poorly educated. （ C） Practice reading skill. （ D） Difference in the speed and efficiency of reading. 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30
