单选题Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find five questions or unfinished statements numbered from 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. I was telling my boy Tony the story of the hare (野兔) and tortoise (乌龟). In the end I said, "Son, remember: slow and steady, but wins the race. Don't you think there's something to learn from the tortoise?" He opened his eyes wide. "Do you mean next time when I'm entering for the 60-meter race, I should wish that Billy and Tom and Sandy would all fall asleep half-way?" I was shocked. "But the tortoise didn't wish the hare would fall asleep!" "He must have wished that," Tony said. "Otherwise how could he be so stupid as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did." "He didn't have such a wish," I insisted. "He won the race by perseverance (坚韧不拔), by pushing on steadily." Tony thought for a while. "That's lie," He said. "He won because he was lucky. If the hare hadn't happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he'd never have won the race. That's for sure." I gave up. Today's children are not like what we used to be. They are just hopeless.

单选题The student who wants a newspaper career has much hard work ahead of him before he can become even a cub, or beginning, reporter. He may begin by working on his high school newspaper or yearbook. Then the aspiring (有志的) reporter may break into newspaper work as a copyboy, running errands and helping staff reporters. He may even be given a chance to write small stories. Sometimes students who are interested in news reporting can get jobs as campus reporters for local newspaper. Jobs such as these serve to acquaint the beginner with the atmosphere of news gathering. They give him a chance to sharpen his eye for details and teach him to be sure that his facts are accurate, that he reports them correctly, and that he writes his articles clearly. This work may lead to a job as a cub reporter on a newspaper, the important first step toward a career in news reporting.

单选题 The idea of rainmaking is almost as old as man, but it was not until 1946 that man succeeded in making rain. In ancient times, rainmakers had claimed a bring rain by many methods: dancing, singing, killing various kinds of living creatures, and blowing a stream of water into the air from a kind of pipe. More recently, some rainmakers claimed to make rain by shooting guns, causing explosions, or burning chemicals, the smoke of which was supposed to cause rain to fall. These rainmakers asked for as much as 1,000 dollars to make an inch of rain. One of them was so successful that he was almost hanged. He was believed to have caused a 20-inch rain in southern California that flooded the land, killed several people, and did millions of dollars of damage. Before 1946, rainmakers were either liars or honest people who happened to have good luck. Scientific rainmaking was started in that year by Vincent J; Schaefer, a scientist at the laboratories of the General Electric Company in New York State. His success was the result of a. lucky accident that changed years of failure into victory.

单选题 Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played "long, long ago". Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name "chess" is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says, in English, "check". When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says "check mate". These words come from Persian. "Shah mat" means 'the king is dead'. That is when the game is over, and one player has won. Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You do not have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.

单选题The Esky, a great Australian invention—it' s about as important to the Australian household as a BBQ(吃烧烤的野餐). How else would we move our carefully prepared food and drink around without having it spoilt. Though it is a regular problem with Esky, you also need to plan. If you haven' t had a freeze pack, then you' ll need to go out and buy a bag of ice ( maybe even several bags of ice). Get a Portable Mini Fridge and you' 11 save on the bags of ice as well as a good deal on cleaning time. The Portable Mini Fridge requires a 12V DC supply, and you' 11 find this thermo electric cooler the best thing invented since sliced bread (near enough anyway). One thing this car fridge has over your average Esky—it'll warm to 60—65℃...and it does all this without any environmental pollution. Apart from basic cleaning, this thermo electric warmer is largely non-wearing and maintenance-free. At last, an affordable mini fridge for your car or boat will help save those green vegetables or fruits better, also it will keep the shape of an ice cream, this may help you feel very happy.
