Mark Twain left school when he was twelve. He had little school education. In spite of this, he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his penname.
Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mother’s care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbors. He didn’t like to go to school, and he often ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi(密西西比河). He was nearly drowned nine times.
After his father’s death, Mark Twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him with food and clothing. Then, he worked as a printer, a river-boat pilot and later joined the army. But shortly after that he became a miner. During this period, he started to write short stories. Afterwards he became a full time writer.
In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed he wrote many books including Tom Sawyer in 1876, and Huckleberry Finn in 1884, which made him famous, and brought him great fortune.
Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments(投资) and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts. In 1904, his wife died, and then three of his children passed away.
At the age of 70, his hair was completely white. He bought many white suits and neckties. He wore nothing but white from head to foot until his death on April 21, 1910.

In many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers.
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized, which will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr. David Davis , who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air , and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says, cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. The car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010, Dr. David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen. And by 2020, cars will travel in convoy, linked to
each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road –trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.” says Davis. “But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”
26. We know from the passage that governments and car manufacturers _______
A. do not believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2020
B. are devoted to the technological revolution in car industry
C. consider the predictions seriously
D. have put the super-intelligent car into mass production
27. Which of the following will be the characteristic of the cars of 2020?
A. The car will speed up out of control
B. We will own as many cars as we want
C. All cars will be driven by computers
D. Cars will produce more pollution than present ones
28. The leader of the research team believes that the present car culture will change because_________
A. cars play a very important role in daily life
B. many societies would stop functioning without cars
C. cars should not be owned by one individual
D. it causes many deaths to human society
29. The expression closest in meaning to the phrase “in convoy” in the last paragraph is________
A. in line B. sidelong C. side by side D. shoulder to shoulder
30. What will happen if cars are joined to each other electronically in 2020?
A. Motorists will get a clear view of the road
B. The weather condition will not have effect on motorists
C. There will be less pollution caused by car
D. All trains will burn less fuel than present
C
It is a matter of common observation that although money income keeps going up over the years, we never seem to become richer. Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call inflation: the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesn’t matter. But it does .When money is losing
value it also loses one of the qualities of a good money—stability（稳定）of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore simply simulates（刺激）our spending and discourages saving.
31．From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which________.
A. everyone’s incomes rise B. money will hold its value
C. we can watch our money grow D. money constantly loses its value
32．In the writer’s view, if incomes and prices rise at the same rate, ________.
A. inflation maybe still be a problem B. we have nothing to worry about
C. inflation is no longer a problem D. we will become richer and richer
33．Under inflation people are likely to ________.
A. go to the bank more often than usual
B. save more money since their incomes rise
C. spend money quickly rather than to save it
D. keep money at home instead of going to banks
34．We can conclude according to the passage that ________.
A. the writer is a government official
B. the writer is worried about inflation
C. the writer encourages people to spend money
D. the writer has become richer because of inflation
35. Which of the following words is omitted at the end of the underlined sentence “But it does”?
A. Matter. B. Goes. C. Rises. D. Falls.
