Kissinger’s trip was given the code name Polo after Marco Polo, another western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went quite smoothly. His slight illness in Islamabad received only small attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be kept shut up for at least a few days and began making arrangements for their own activities.
Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities (设备) between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to keep it secret，so before Kissinger left，we agreed on a single code word—Eureka—which he would use if his mission（使命）were successful and the presidential trip had been arranged.
On July 11, A1 Haig who knew our code word, phoned me to say that a cable from Kissinger had arrived.
“What’s the message?” I asked.
“Eureka,” he replied.
小题1:Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because____.
| A．he had a stomachache |
| B．he needed President Yahya’s help in carrying out a secret plan |
| C．he did not want to be seen by the press |
| D．he would like to take a Pakistani jet on his way back |
| A．Marco Polo made a trip to China |
| B．Kissinger would make a journey to China |
| C．Kissinger was making arrangements for their activities |
| D．Kissinger was sick |
| A．the trip must be kept secret |
| B．President Yahya would not fly together with Kissinger |
| C．communication between China and Islamabad was impossible |
| D．Al Haig would phone to the author to tell him about Kissinger’s trip |
| A．before he had left Beijing |
| B．soon after he had returned to Pakistan from China |
| C．as soon as he had arrived in Washington on July 11 |
| D．before he retuned to Pakistan on July 11 |
答案
小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:A
小题4:D
小题5:D
解析
小题1:本题考查理解判断文中细节的能力。根据文中第一段第二句“There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahya’s help…” ,其中would意思为：与当时事实相反的假设，可知他停留在巴基斯坦的目的不是看病而是“需要帮助”，故最佳答案为B。
小题2:本题考查认定文中细节信息的能力。由第二段第二句“Everything went quite smoothly. His slight illness in Islamabad received only small attention from reporters covering him”, 说明基辛格瞒过了记者。故最佳答案为D。
小题3:本题考查根据文中细节进行归纳推理的能力。根据文段内容，尼克松访华，基辛格前来铺路，这一切都是秘密进行的。例如：基辛格绕道马基斯坦到中国；基辛格瞒过记者；基辛格完成使命后用一个密码词“Eureka”传回信息。这一切都说明了他的trip 是秘密的。故最佳答案为A。
小题4:本题考查根据文中细节猜测某一特定词语含义的能力。根据第三段第二句“Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to keep it secret，so before Kissinger left，we agreed on a single code word—Eureka—which he would use if his mission（使命） were successful and the presidential trip had been arranged.”可知基辛格一完成使命，就是密码词“Eureka”把消息传回去，故最佳答案为D。

举一反三
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”(风格) of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A new Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
小题1:When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.
| A．describe the place carefully | B．show him a map of the place |
| C．tell him the names of the streets | D．refer to recognizable buildings and places |
| A．New York. | B．Los Angeles. | C．Kansas. | D．Iowa. |
| A．in order to save time | B．Los Angeles. |
| C．so as to be polite | D．for fun |
| A．It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences. |
| B．It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly. |
| C．People have similar understandings of politeness. |
| D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors. |
It can be wrong for governments to spend large sums of money on art. Too often, governments spend the money unwisely. Cities end up with huge statues or expensive, empty buildings that are only used by a few people. Many times, the art is also chosen to represent social or political rather than artistic ideas, and even if it represents artistic ideas, tastes in art can change very rapidly. Without thinking carefully about how to spend the money, the people may end up with an expensive collection of worthless paintings of tasteless productions.
At the same time it would be wrong to say that governments should not spend any money at all on art. Painters, musicians, and composers cannot survive without monetary support. Many times, the art is inaccessible (很难到的) to ordinary people because only rich people and large companies can afford it. Governments have a duty to make this art available to everyone. Art helps people enjoy life,
Although people do need to be provided with the necessities of life, governments also have a duty to provide their citizens with something more. I firmly believe that spending money on art is vital (必不可少的) part of a government’s responsibility, and I am confident that my country is able to contribute a great deal to the rich collection of art from around passage?
60. What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?
A. Why tastes in art change so rapidly. B. The importance of art to human beings.
C. Humans’ need to be surrounded by art.
D. Whether or not the government should spend money on art.
61. The following are reasons why governments spend too much money on arts EXCEPT that _____.
A. art is changing with time rapidly B. they choose art to serve political purpose
C. they don’t think carefully enough about what to buy
D. art is necessary for the life of poor people
62. The underlined word “monetary” in the third paragraph probably means“_____”.
A. political B. financial C. temporary(临时的) D. continuous
63. According to the author, what is the function of art?
A. Art can be very valuable when it is traded. B. Art makes people’s lives worthwhile.
C. Art can unite governments. D. Art can make governments fashionable.

Runners in a relay(接力) race pass a stick in one direction. However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road.
The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of citied and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 B, C, to about A, D, 1300, when sea travel offered new routes(路线) , It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe.
The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft(嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.
The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy(外交), and religion (宗教)

| A．it was made up of different routes | B．silk trading became less popular |
| C．sea travel provided easier routes | D．people needed fewer foreign goods |
| A．learned from one another | B．shared each other’s beliefs |

| A．The Silk Road ; Past and Present | B．The Silk Road; East Meets West |
| C．The Silk Road; Routes Full of Dangers | D．The Silk Road; Pathways for Learning |
1. When talking to strangers there is often no special form of address in English. Usually, if you want to catch the attention of a stranger it is necessary to use such phrases as “Excuse me”.

While in American English “Sir” and “Madam” are not so formal and are commonly used between strangers, especially with old people whose names you don’t know.
