C. stands. These Indians paddled canoes(划独木舟) up and down the river and traded with other Indians, swapping things they had for things they wanted—beads for furs, bows for arrows, corn for potatoes. In the Indian language the name for traders was Potomac, so now we call the river the Potomac River after these trader Indians. The Potomac separates two states—Maryland and Virginia. They are named after two English queens—Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth I who never married and was called the Virgin Queen. The Potomac Indians paddled their canoes down the river until they came to a much broader body of water. This body of water was so big that it seemed to them like the ocean, and they called it “the Mother of Waters”, which in their own language was “Chesapeake”. Though Chesapeake Bay is not the ocean, it is the biggest bay in the United States. 56. The article states that Virginia and Maryland were named _______. A. after two Indian words B. after two states C. after two queens D. after two rivers 57. The word “Potomac” is Indian for ______. A. river B. the Mother of Waters C. Washington D. traders 58. According to the article, which of the following statements is correct? A. The Potomac Indian tracers could not be trusted. B. The Potomac River was created by the Indians. C. The Chesapeake Bay looked like an ocean to the Indians. D. The Potomac Indian traders traded only with the people living in Washington. 59. Which body of water is the narrowest? A. The Mother of Waters. B. The Potomac River. C. Chesapeake Bay. D. The Atlantic Ocean. ( B ) The desire to make explorations is born with man. Wherever his imagination goes, man also has a strong wish to go. A large part of human history is connected with the exploration of the world in which we live. Again and again people have set out with surprising courage and patience to look into unknown regions and lands to see what had not yet been seen, to make known the un-known. With kites, balloons and aircraft they left the ground to pass through the lower atmosphere. Now the outer space receives their attention. Why should man take the trouble of conquering(征服) space? It is hard to list the specific practical benefits that will result in. But one knows, from past experience in other areas, that man will surely see and discover new things in space that will increase our scientific knowledge, and this new knowledge will find its way into valuable practical uses. What we learn about man himself, from his experience in space, and from the effects of space and the space flight environment on him, will be extremely valuable. The new techniques developed to carry out the exploration of space, and to keep man alive in space, will certainly find practical uses in everyday life in some way. The areas that will benefit are manifold.They include communication, generation(生成) of power, transportation and travel, food production, materials, fuels and many others. But to say definitely just what the practical results will be is almost impossible. 60．The man idea of the first paragraph is that________. A．man desires to explore what is unknown B．man often goes wherever his dreams go C．man is no longer interested in the study of the land and sea now D．man’s history is his exploration of the world 61 ． The underlined word "manifold" in the second paragraph probably means________. A．vast B．various C．valuable D．practical 62．The author seems to be in favor of (赞成)________. A．doubting the necessity of the space exploration B．the exploration of space C．exploring more in space than in other areas D．his experiencing in space 63．In the last sentence of paragraph 2 the phrase "practical results" refers to the results_______. A．that are gained from experience B．that can be learned as knowledge C．that can benefit us human beings D．that help us make further exploration ( C ) There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people , and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.. But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools. You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. The writer believes that most students , but of course not all students, want some structure in their classes. They want and need to have rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those subjects if they did not have to. 64.Open education allows the students to _____. A. grow as the educated B. be responsible for their future C. develop their own interests D. discover subjects outside class 65. Open education may be a good idea for the students who ______.

K. Rowling books, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (《哈利·波特与火焰杯》) is released on November 18. Katie is about to burst onto the big screen as the girl Cho Chang who wins Harry Potter’s heart. Katie’s scenes in the film are set around the Hogwarts Yule Ball (圣诞舞会). Harry plucks up courage to ask Cho to the dance. But Cho has a boyfriend and she must turn Harry down. "I think she’s a really loyal person," Katie says of her character. "The scenes where Harry is gazing at Cho from afar are fun. Cho sees Harry looking and gives him a look back. He then thinks he’s got a chance, but he hasn’t. " The story of Katie becoming Cho also has fairytale qualities. She went to the initial audition (初试) in London after her dad saw an advertisement on a Chinese TV channel. The actress had to be 16, which Katie was at the time, and of Eastern appearance. When the director asked: "Who’s from Scotland?" Katie was the only one who put her hand up. Although Katie had no previous acting experience, not even in a school play, she beat 5,000 hopefuls and won the role. "I felt pretty confident but that was only because I was treating the auditions as a bit of fun. I’m not the kind of girl who’s always dreamed of being an actress," Katie said. "I’m the shy type, really. At school I could go without talking to anyone for days and days. I was so shy that it was unbelievable and it never occurred to me that I could get into this business. "Katie isn’t calling herself an actress just yet, although she won praise from Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Harry) for her performance, who described her as a "natural". Cho and Harry’s relationship develops in later books, but Katie doesn’t know if she’ll be in the next film. "I’d like to do more acting, but if‘Goblet of Fire’ turns out to be my only film then I think it would be pretty cool to be known as Harry Potter’s first crush," she said. 72. From the text, what can we know about the girl, Katie Leung? A. Before the play she played, everybody thought that she would be an actress because of her beauty. B. She plays as Harry Potter’s first crush. C. She has no confidence when she was in the initial audition. D. She will play another girl in next ‘Goblet of Fire’. 73. Why does the director choose Katie Leung as Cho Chang, who wins Harry Potter’s heart? A. Because she played very well in the initial audition. B. Because she was a pretty girl with long dark hair, and the most important was that she was 18 year old. C. Because she was treating the auditions seriously. D. Because she is a really loyal person. 74. Which of the following is right? A. When she was a little girl, she dreamed of becoming a teacher. B. In the play she played so well that she was praised by Daniel Radcliffe. C. The writer thinks that the play will be well received by the people all over the world. D.

Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow. Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful. Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and what’s more, I am able to better understand the author’s ideas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.
