单选题As far back as he could remember, Larry had longed to go to Hollywood and become a film star. The young man's hopes for success were broken again and again, however. Hollywood just did not seem interested. When he first came to California Larry had decided never to give up and return home without success. Therefore, he kept on trying. Someday, he told himself, his big opportunity would come. Larry found a job parking cars for one of Hollywood's big restaurants. His pay was basic, but since the guests were kind enough to give him more money, he managed to make a living. One day he recognized an important film director (导演) driving into the parking lot and getting out of his car. Larry had recently heard that the man was ready to make a new picture. Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it. Then he stopped, jumped out, and ran over to the director. "Excuse me, sir, but I think it's only fair to tell you that it's now or never if you want me in your next picture. A lot of big companies are after me." Instead of pushing away the boy, the director got interested in Larry's words and stopped. "Yes? Which companies?" he asked. "Well," replied the boy, "there's the telephone company, the gas company, and the electric company, to tell you only a few." The director laughed, then wrote something on a card and handed it to the young man. "Come and see me tomorrow." Larry got a small part in the director's next film. He was on his way!

单选题I found myself facing a dry-cleaning store which had once been one of the best restaurants in New York. On Sundays the old man would take my mother and me for dinner. There had been a balcony (走廊) where a baker (面包师) in a tall white hat baked fresh bread, and been whenever a customer entered, the baker would look down and put in a fresh batch (一炉). I could see the manager who always sat down with us while we ate. He had some disease, I suppose, because the right side of his face was swollen (肿的) out like a balloon, but he always wore a hard wing collar and a white tie, and never seemed sick. A Negro with a moustache was looking through the store window at me. For a moment I was anxious to go and tell him what l remembered. I did not go into the store, nor even toward our house, I went downtown instead and sat in my room, trying to read.

单选题{{B}}B{{/B}} Today's trumpet (小号) is one of the world's oldest instruments. It is the result of many centuries of development. Although it looks nothing like its ancestors, there are many similarities. All trumpets are hollow tubes. They are all blown. And they all use the player's lips to produce the basic sound. The trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design, size, shape, material and method of construction. They wanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful and attractive tone, enable the performer to play all the notes of the scale, extend the range higher and lower, make it possible to play more difficult music, and in general, be easier to play well. The remarkable way in which the modern trumpet achieves these goals is a measure of the success of all those who struggled to perfect this glorious instrument. The trumpet is actually the leading member of an entire family of related instruments. There are trumpets of several different sizes, and in several different keys. The trumpet is a link to many different periods of history and to people of many cultures. From the use of trumpets in ancient religious ceremonies to the part they play in modern rock bands, the trumpet family of instruments has much to tell about civilization and its development.

单选题A What are some of steps a person can take to prevent his house from being broken into while he is away? One step is to make sure that the house seems a lived-in one. Living room curtains should be pulled down only halfway. Bedrooms that usually have the curtains pulled down at night should be left down. Another is to make sure that all outside locks are the dead-bolt type (双保险). Still another is to leave several 100W lights burning and make sure that one is in the kitchen. Lights that turn on and off by themselves are the best. Then, too, it is a good idea to leave the radio turned on and set to a talking station. Any type of speaking makes a thief think twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on holiday, make certain that the newspaper is stopped and that a trusted neighbor has been asked to pick up the mail. Thieves are especially quick to notice piled-up newspapers and overfilled mailboxes.

单选题{{B}}C{{/B}} It doesn't matter when or how long a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That's what all doctors' thought, until they heard about Jercy Page. Jercy Page, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man by themselves. Jercy Page was ninety years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Jercy Page sleeping. Actually, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one. The only rest that Jercy Page got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Page remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.

单选题Take a look around on October 12, because it may seem a bit more crowded. On that day, or thereabouts, Earth' s population will reach six billion. Although no one knows exactly when baby number six billion will arrive, the United Nations picked October 12 to mark the event, which is almost certain to occur before the end of 1999. Six billion is a milestone (里程碑). The 20th century began with world population under two billion. We' ye added the last billion people in only 12 years. Most of the increase these days takes place in the developing world. Birthrates have remained at low levels in Europe and North A- merica. In the developing world the over all rate of increase is 1.7 percent a year, which would double its population in 40 years.
