From the earliest times men seem to have noticed the habits of insects, and to have learnt lessons from them. Ants and bees work very hard during the summer, __36__ enough food to last during the winter. They give us a good example to _37___. If we waste time when the conditions are good for work, we shall probably_ 38__ later. When we really want to work, we are _39__ to do so. Moths, and some other insects, cannot help flying 40__ a light of any kind. The attraction seems to be too strong for them. As a result, they often__41_themselves by flying into something that is burning, such as a lighted candle. In some countries, when such insects as flying ants become a nuisance, people _42__ themselves by lighting fires at the doors of their cottages. Sometimes the insects fly into the fire in such large __43_ that they put it out. In literature we often find poets warning us of the danger of being attacked by _44_ or beautiful things that will destroy us. Butterflies are admired for their _45_, though they receive very little praise for anything else. They fly 46__ in the sunshine, going from flower to flower, happy all day long, leading a life of _47_. They are beautiful, but it seems that they are not of much _48_ use to anybody. Some human beings are butterflies of society_ 49_ they lead very much the same sort of life. Locusts are _50_. They are active enough, too active. They spend their time eating the food of others. _51_ there are men like this, destroying things wherever they go, taking for themselves _52_ belongs to others, using up everything and _53_ nothing. They are human _54_. Perhaps it may be said that even the worst insects have one use：they _55_ us not to be like them.

三．阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Gestures are the silent language of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.
In the US, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet each other with a hug(拥抱).
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about 2.5 feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, “Pardon me.” or “Excuse me”.
Americans like to look at the other in the eyes when they are talking. If you don’t do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. When you stare at someone, however, it is not polite.
For Americans, thumbs-up means “yes”, “very good” or “well done”. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, one might put up one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指). Americans shake their index fingers at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的). If you don’t know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.
56. When you shake hands with an American, you should__________.
A. shake his/her hand firmly B. put your hands on his/her shoulder
C. shake his/her hand gently D. give him/her a hug afterwards
57. In the US, people usually______ if you stand too close to them.
A. feel friendly B. get uncomfortable C. keep still D. hit you angrily
58. If you talk with an American friend, it’s polite to________.
A. stare at him/her B. look at the ground
C. look at his/her in the eyes D. look here and there
59. When an American gives you the thumbs-up, he, in fact_______
A. means that you are number one B. wants to please you
C. needs to call a waiter D. express his satisfaction with you
60. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. People greet each other by shaking hands in America.
B. Every country has their own gestures.
C. Learning a culture’s body language is very important and necessary.
D. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger.

The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil war, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the south, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and built up the Mississippi River banks. During the week, the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Traveling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.
If you have the blues, it means you feel very sad. But blues songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.
Early blue singers often had very interesting names like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Howlin Wolf. Sometimes, the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of Jazz music.
The blues began in the country in the south. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W.C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous song of all “The St. Louis blues.”
61. This passage is mainly concerned with__________.
A. the birth of American country music B. the birth of Jazz music
C. the birth of American popular music D. the birth of the blues
62. Blues songs were often about_______.
A. the hard life of black people B. the lonely life of black people
C. the happy and funny life of black people D. the hard life of slaves
63. In the early 1900s, black people often got together at some drinking places on weekends mainly because________.
A. they had found new work B. they had worked long and hard during weekdays
C. they often lived alone, without their families D. they were good at singing and dancing
64. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. After the Civil war, most black people found jobs in factories.
B. No blues songs were about life in the cities
C. The blues was popular only in the country.
D. The blues was born in the country in the south.

It was not yet eleven o’clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing place searching in his pockets for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger’s figure. He was a young man of eighteen years, evidently(显然) country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. The garments under his coat were constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to legs. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag. Brown hair, well-shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature’s gifts, and worth all that art could have done for him. The youth, whose name is Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward in to the town with a light step, as is he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he looked around his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid.
65. The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because_________.
A. he wanted to make extra money
B. he saw that Robin was young and rich
C. he was going to row across the river anyway
D. he felt sorry for him because Robin looked poor.
66. From the way he looked, it was evident that robin was __________.
A. a wealthy merchant’s son B. a country boy
C. a soldier D. a foreigner
67. How did Robin appear as he walked into town?
A. He was cheerful and excited B. He was tired
C. He seemed frightened by his strange surroundings D. He seemed very sad

To get a chocolate out of a box demands a considerable amount of unpacking：the box has to be taken out of its paper bag；the plastic wrapper has to be torn off, the lid opened and the packing paper inside removed；the chocolate itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper. Similarly a pot of face cream surrounded by layers of paper, wedged inside a cardboard box, and the whole thing wrapped tightly in plastic.
It is not only luxuries(高档商品) that are wrapped in this way. With so many goods now produced centrally and sold in supermarkets it is becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything from nails to potatoes that is not already done in plastic or paper.
The wrapper itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. Useless wrapping accounts for much of the 31 pounds in weight of rubbish put out by the average London household each week. So why is it done? Some of it, like the wrapping on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply for competitive selling. This is stupid. Packaging is using up scarce energy and raw materials and ruining all the time. One big firm reports that its glass, cans and paper have all gone up by 30 percent in the last couple of months, while plastic has increased by 50 percent and all these prices are still rising. This seems as yet to have had surprisingly little effect on the packaging practice of producers.
Little research is being carried out on the costs in energy and materials of other possible types of packaging. Just how practical is it, for instance, for local governments to save waste paper and reproduce it as egg-boxes? Would it be cheaper to plant another forest to produce new paper?
One reason for the unorganized behavior of everyone related is probably the varied nature if the packaging industry. So many people, with so many different interests of their own, are affected that it is extremely hard to reach any agreement on what should be done. Also, packagers say that protecting forests and preventing waste is not their concern.(关心之事).
68. The shopper gets rid of the wrapper immediately because_____________.
A. it is made of useless materials. B. it adds to the weight
C. it is difficult for him to deal with D. it is not important for him
69. From the passage, we can infer that the main purpose of most wrapping is__________.
A. help to sell the products B. keep the products clean
C. save the shopkeepers’ time D. help people carry their goods
70. In the writer’s opinion, __________.
A. it is unwise to use so much energy and materials for packaging
B. it is wrong for the shoppers to throw away the wrappers
C. it is necessary for most of the things to be packed
D. it is not the concern of the packagers to protect forests
71. The author suggests that__________
A. some research should be done on the cost of energy
B. another forest should be planted
C. waste paper should be reproduced
D. the prices of the packaging materials should be brought down
E
Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept.
The latest survey shows that the extent and type of hospital teaching differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best；general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off.
From this survey, one can estimate(估计) that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher －and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do maths or number work；without a teacher they would only play games.
Reasons for hospitals teaching range from preventing a child behind and maintaining(保持) the habit of school to keeping a child busy, and the latter is often all the teacher do. Parents referred to many of the teachers as “the library lady” or just “the helper”.
Children tend to depend on their school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best as they can.
Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to reduce the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.
72. The author points out at the beginning of the passage that_________.
A. every child in hospital receives some teaching
B. not enough is known about hospital teaching
C. hospital teaching is of poor quality
D. children in hospital don’t have any school record
73. It can be inferred from the latest survey that_________
A. hospital teaching across the country is similar
B. each hospital has at least one part-time teacher
C. the special children’s hospitals are worst off
D. only one-fourth of the hospitals have full-time teachers
74. Children in hospital usually turn to________ in order to catch up with their school work.
A. hospital teachers B. schoolmates C. parents D. school teachers
75. We can conclude from the passage that the author is_________.
A. against children’s receiving education in hospitals
B. content with the present state of teaching in hospitals
C. unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teaching
D. pleased to see children back at school receive extra teaching
