You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they
only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on
until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course
he isn"t really dead. With any luck he isn"t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or
jump from fast moving trains are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That
is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see
on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on
to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the
chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although
their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman"s
success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out
of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously
injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a
thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no
longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some
dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool.

1. Stuntmen are those who ______. [     ]
A. often dress up as actors
B. prefer to lead dangerous lives
C. often perform seemingly dangerous actions
D. often fight each other for their lives 2. Stuntmen earn their living by ______. [     ]
A. playing their dirty tricks
B. selling their special skills
C. jumping out of high windows
D. jumping from fast moving trains 3. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.[     ]
A. he needs little protection
B. he will be covered with a mattress
C. his life is unprotected
D. his safety is generally all right 4. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance? [     ]
A. Strength.
B. Exactness.
C. Speed.
D. Carefulness. 5. What can be inferred from the author" s example of the Norwegian stuntman? [     ]
A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.
B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.
C. Parachutes must be of good quality.
D. The cliff is too high.

阅读理解。      Until recently we had been living in the Yukon Territory in Canada, in a town seventy miles or so of the
Arctic Circle. It is romantically called "The Land of the Midnight Sun" because during the summer the sun
shines continuously, even at midnight. On the other hand, it is also called "The Land of Darkness" because
in winter the opposite happens.
       My classmates probably thought I liked to tell tales when I said I had to walk to school on a river in my
hometown. But it was true.
       When the darkness comes, so does the cold, because there is no sun to give warmth. The land becomes
a world of ice and snow. The few roads that link villages are completely (完全地) covered with snow; people
must travel on frozen rivers. If they do not have far to go, they put on snowshoes. These shoes prevent them
from sinking into the thick snow. However, if they have a long journey to make they ride in dog sleds.
       Rivers are very important to the people of the Yukon. When summer comes and the sun once more shines
upon the land, the rivers become moving highways suitable for boats and canoes.
       Of course, another important means of transportation for all of us in the village was the plane, which
provided us with the only means of getting to the outside world. 1. Which of the following in NOT true according to the passage? [     ]
A. The Yukon Territory is in Canada.
B. Dogsleds are used for long journeys.
C. Winter is longer than summer in Yukon.
D. Planes are the only link with the outside world.2. The underlined part in paragraph 2 means that my classmates _____ we walked to school on a river.[     ]
A. thought I liked telling tales when
B. felt excited when they learned that
C. thought I had a hard time when
D. thought it was unbelievable that 3. What is the main topic of the passage?[     ]
A. How to walk on a river in winter.
B. How the Yukon people travel.
C. The importance of planes in the Yukon.
D. The weather inside the Arctic Circle.

阅读理解。      "How are you?" is a nice question. It"s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other.
But "How are you?" is also a very unusual questin. It"s a question that often doesn"t have an answer. The
person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine.", even if the person"s friend isn"t fine.
The reason is that "How are you?" isn"t really a question and "Fine." isn"t really an answer. They are simply
other ways of saying "Hello!" or "Hi!".
      Sometimes, people also don"t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, "Do you
agree?", the other person might be thinking, "No, I disagree. I think you"re wrong …" But it isn"t very polite
to disagree strongly, so the other person might say "I"m not sure …". It"s a nice way to say that you don"t
agree with someone.
      People also don"t say exactly what they are thingking when they finish talking with other people. For
example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I"ve to go now." Often, the person who
wants to hang up gives an excuse, "Someone is at the door." "Something is burning on the stove." The
excuses might be real, or it might not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn"t want to
talk any more, but it isn"t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn"t hurt the other person.
      When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people often don"t say
exactly what they are thinking. It"s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it"s also
a part of the game of language. 1. When a person in the United States asks "How are you?", he or she wants to hear "______". [     ]
A. How are you?
B. Hello!
C. I don"t know.
D. Fine.2. When a person wants to disagree with someone, it is polite to say "______". [     ]
A. You"re wrong. I disagree.
B. I"m not sure.
C. I"m sure I disagree.
D. No, I disagree. 3. When a person says "I"ve to go now. Someone is at the door.", he or she may be ______. [     ]
A. giving an excuse
B. hurting someone"s feeling
C. talking to a person at the door
D. going to another place 4. One of the rules of the game of language is probably "______". [     ]
A. Always say what you mean.
B. Don"t disagree with people.
C. Never say exactly what you"re thinking.
D. Be polite.

阅读理解。      Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to
know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on.
These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
      First, let"s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major (专业) may
be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures
are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often
have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it"s very important
for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information in a lecture is often different from
the information in your text-books. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it
isn"t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also
have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting
usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the
homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
      If your major is chemistry, or physics, or some other science, you"ll also have to spend several hours a
week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the
classroom than non-science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or
history usually have to read and write more than science majors do. 1. The main purpose of this text is ____. [     ]
A. to help the students to learn about university life
B. to persuade the students to attend lectures
C. to encourage the students to take part in discussions
D. to advise the students to choose proper majors 2. A discussion section does NOT include ____. [     ]
A. working under the guidance of university professors
B. talking over what the students have read about the courses
C. discussing the problems related to the students" homework
D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture 3. A discussion section does NOT include ____. [     ]
A. working under the guidance of university professors
B. talking over what the students have read about the courses
C. discussing the problems related to the students" homework
D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture 4. According to the author, science majors ____. [     ]
A. have to work harder than non-science majors
B. spend less time on their studies than non science majors
C. consider experiments more important than discussions
D. read and write less than non-science majors

阅读理解。      Although there are no state controlled survival courses in Britain or the United States, there are various
independent organizations offering similar activities.
      Students can participate (take part) in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies.
Anyone can register (登记) with such groups, which then organize courses, training and trips for all
members.
      One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain, is Outward Bound
(户外训练). It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types
every year.
     The courses are to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence, self-esteem (自尊) and
character. As well as specialist courses such as canoeing, leadership skills and sailing, participants can take
part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education
skills.
       Michael Williams, an American student, took part in an Outward Bound course last year. He said:"We
learned lots of first aid skills, lots of natural history, lots of environmental facts, and participated in a wildlife
preservation (protecting) programme. Beyond that, my favorite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing."
       Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14. Students must be in general
good health, but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports. There is no selection process; everyone is
welcome, although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical power.
       Most of the British courses take place in the Beacons in Wales. Another similar organization is the UK
Survival School, which includes courses on learning to live with the environment, sailing and winter survival.
On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food, how to make fire and cook with
it, to find and build a shelter, control survival life support, how to cross rivers, send off an SOS signal, and
to use compasses by day and night.
      According to the leaders, such adventures are "an awakening, an exploration into unknown." Outward
Bound believes that participants will "use mind and body traveling some of the earth"s roughest wildness
areas." 1. The advantage of the training courses is that _____. [     ]
A. participants can make friends with others
B. participants can visit some places of interest
C. participants can experience different adventures
D. participants can learn how wonderful nature is 2. In the Outward Bound course last year, the most exciting experience Michael Williams had was _____. [     ]
A. learning first aid skills
B. collecting facts of environment
C. preserving wildlife
D. rock climbing and sailing 3. What"s the writer"s purpose to write this passage? [     ]
A. To introduce the training course to readers.
B. To persuade readers to take part in the training courses.
C. To tell readers the danger of this training course.
D. To introduce the wonders of the world to readers.
