　　Last evening I was watching the evening news on television .The news was about a prize for scientific

　　21

　　. I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my

　　22

　　."All great discoveries, "he said, "are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty."

　　23

　　a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.

　　24

　　wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery.

　　The next day 1 happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the

　　25_ of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right. First I looked at some of the

　　26

　　discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different

　　27

　　fall at the same speed, was made by Galieo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that

　　28

　　to Nobel Prize when she was 23. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well, 29

　　of that. Yet I

　　30

　　if those "best years" were true in other

　　31

　　.

　　Then how about the field of

　　32

　　?

　　Surely it needed the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it

　　33

　　, but look when these people

　　their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln

　　35 the life of a country-lawyer and was elected to the government at what age? Twenty-six.

　　But why

　　36

　　best years come after thirty? After thirty, I

　　37

　　, most people do not want to take risks or try

　　38

　　ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was

　　39

　　Foulsham House is a fine, stone house of the 1790s. It stands high above the River Byre, in twenty　five hectares(公顷) of the best farmland in the south－west. Smithson built the house, and the story goes that George, the young Prince(王子)of Wales, fell in love with the beautiful lady Kitty Wake, at one of the first，Lord Foulsham's wild parties. Many great men have ridden on the hills about Foulsham House, and many fine ladies have taken tea in the Green Room.

　　The house has eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living-rooms and a dinning－room with a real Adam fireplace. The gentleman's library has a view over the park and the river that is quite without equal. All rooms are light and airy, with good, high windows and wood floors.

　　At the back of the house, in the buildings in which the third Lond－Foulsham kept the borses which made him famous, there is garage space for four cars. In many other ways, this house of the 1790s meets the needs of the 1970s.If you wish to know more about Foulsham House, write to : Harvery, Platt, Longford & Sons, 6, Castle Green, Gilham, Byreside.

　　American society is not nap friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine,“There's even a prohibition(禁令) against admitting we need sleep.”Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote(引用)a proverb:“Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.”Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them.“We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,”says Dr William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an“American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents of falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a halfhour snooze(打瞌睡)every afternoon.

　　About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a mid-afternoon quiet phase(状态局面)”,also called “a secondary sleep gate”. Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.

　　We Superstars of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we snack on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.

　　44.The purpose of this article is to_________ .

　　A.warn us of the wickedness of napping

　　B.explain the danger of sleepines

　　C.discuss the side effects of napping

　　D.convince the readers of the necessity of napping

　　45.The “American sleep debt”(Linel 2,Para.3)is the result of________

　　A.the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep

　　B.the sleep policy of the Clinton Administration

　　C.the rapid development of American industry

　　D.the Americans' worry about the danger of sleepiness

　　46.The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is_________

　　A.preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift

　　B.good practice to eat something light before we go to bed

　　C.essential to make up for lost sleep

　　D.natural to take a nap whenever we fee the need for it

　　The World Trade Organization(WTO),founded on January 1, 1995,aims to encourage international trade to flow as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and that any disputes(争端)can be settled.

　　In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well-known as one of the world's most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

　　The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 11948 when the Ceneral Agreement on Tariffs(关税)and Trade(GATT)was formed after World War .

　　As time went by, it became clear that the GATT had two major drawbacks——the limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.

　　After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property(知识产权).

　　Even after seven years of talks and 22,500 pages of agreements there were still problems, especially the difficult-to-deal-with areas of agriculture and services, which the member nations agreed to revise in 2000.The WTO, with its head office in Geneva, has 135 members with 30 more waiting to join.

　　51.From the passage we know that the GATT stopped working ________

　　A.soon after World War ended

　　B.a little more than 50 years after World War

　　C.just in the year 1994

　　D.seven years before the Uruguay Round talk

　　52.Compared with the GATT, the WTO_________

　　A.didn't pay enough attention to services and intellectual property

　　B.got its members to sign the agreements more easily

　　C.has got too many areas of international trade to deal with to work effectively

　　D.can do better to settle disputes in more areas of International trade

　　53.In the new century the WTO will__________

　　A.take the place of the World Bank and international Monetary Fund

　　B.have more members and settle more problems

　　C.make complete new rules in every area of international trade

　　D.have new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property

　　54.The underlined word“drawbacks”means ___________

　　A.changes

　　B.weak points

　　C.strong points

　　D.improvements

　　E

　　Convenience Foods

　　Instead of buying only fresh foods, Americans nowadays buy many more convenience foods. These are foods which are ready partly or completely prepared. Many of them are frozen ,such as frozen dinner, heated-serve French fries, and frozen pizzas. There are also many canned convenience foods, such as ready made spaghetti, soups, stews, and vegetables.

　　Convenience foods save time and trouble. They are popular with people who are busy or who don't like to cook or wash dishes. But they often cost more than fresh, unprepared foods and may contain man-made additives. Also, many people feel they don't taste as good as home-cooked foods.

　　Health Food and Coops

　　In the 1960s, a “back-to-the-earth”movement was started by young people in the United States. The movement was a reaction against the harmful effects of technology. From the movement came a new understanding for food and health. Many people now prefer natural and organic(有机物)foods to the prepared foods sold in health food stores and in food co-ops, which are small stores where customers help manage the store. In co-ops, food is usually not packaged. Customers bring their own bags and jars and take their food out of boxes or basket.

　　The Diet Craze(节食热)

　　These days Americans are more and more concerned with their weight. Perhaps as many as 70 million Americans are on weight-dollar business.

　　American supermarkets sell a variety of diet foods such as diet soft drinks, diet candy, and diet salad dressings. Dieters also spend money on diet pills, exercise machines, and jogging suits(健美服).Each year dozens of new diets are popularized. They have such names as the Miracle(奇效的)Diet, the Nine day Wonder Diet, and the East 24-hour Diet. There is even one called the lce Cream Diet, which advises dieters to eat only ice cream for lunch and dinner! For dieters who can not lose weight on their own, there are many well-organized diet groups, which offer help and encouragement.

　　55.Generally speaking, convenience foods in America __________

　　A.are shipped from foreign countries

　　B.are made by farmers on farms

　　C.are popular with some people

　　D.are better than fresh ones

　　56.From the fourth paragraph, we can find that_________

　　A.the diet craze in the US is unnecessary

　　B.rich American people should offer their money to the poor

　　C.businessmen are getting much money from the diet craze

　　D.fat Americans are too foolish to take too much food

　　57.What's the writer's opinion on American diets?

　　A.They are all effective to people.

　　B.They are of no effect to people.

　　C.The Ice Cream Diet is the best.

　　D.Not all of them are believable.

　　We do not know who first set a broken leg, or made a seaworthy boat, or calculated(计算)the length of the year, but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars(柱子) in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in the battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors.

　　It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages(野蛮人); so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently——this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done——is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able to find some way of settling their quarrels rather than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that the side which has killed most has won, and not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what is going to mean in a war, it means saying that might is right.

　　58.In the author's opinion, the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries are_____

　　A.possibly the most civilized but not the greatest

　　B.possibly the greatest in some degree but not the most civilized

　　C.certainly not the greatest in any way

　　D.neither the greatest nor the most civilized

　　59.The author says that civilized people should___________

　　A.not have any quarrels to settle

　　B.not fight when there are no quarrels to settle

　　C.settle their quarrels without fighting

　　D.settle their quarrels by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side

　　60.“Might is right”in the last sentence means that_________

　　A.those who fight believe that the winner is right and the loser wrong

　　B.only those who are powerful should go to war

　　C.those who are right should fight against those who are wrong

　　D.in a way only those who are powerful will win

　　Dear Joan,

　　Very pleased to know that you are coming to study in London and it is really a good idea to improve your English before the new term begins in September.

　　Here is an introduction to the Beech School of English in Northern London. I think it is the best one for you to go to. First, it is very convenient to get there by train. Next, the school is not big and the classes are very small. There are 24 teaching hours a week. Third, staying with an English family will provide you with a chance to practice your spoken English and teach you more about the English culture and customs. Fourth, after class, you can enjoy sports and activities such as swimming and sailing with your classmates. Last but not the least, the price is quite reasonable—just 350 pounds in total.

　　Now, it's up to you to make a decision. Please feel free to ask me if you need further information.

　　Looking forward to seeing you in London soon.

　　Yours,

　　Sally
