.On their faces was confidence. This was their
37
exam—then on to graduation and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they
38
get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt
39
and able to take control of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a（n）

books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not
42
each other during the test.
43
they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles
44
on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed
45
the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the
46
faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”
47
a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished
48
.” But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I
49
,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are
50
many things about the
51
you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday
52
.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all
53
this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just

第四部分
阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air，water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air， water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you， you will find that there are two kinds of plants： flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed， some have two， three or four， and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）。 Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places， they
usually grow into new plants.
. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A. plants are important for life
B. plants cannot grow without air
C. there are many plants in the world
D. we can not live without water
57. Plants can make food from______.
A. flower, water and air
B. water，sunlight and air
C. air，water and soil
D. air，sun and light
What can we infer（推断） from the passage ？
A. Of all living things animals are most important
B. Without plants， man will die out
C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds
D. Spores are seeds
This passage may be taken from______.
A. a medicine book
B. a science magazine
C. a novel
D. an experiment report
B
I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away. There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment, she felt back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf. While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother’s love．Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring(吼叫)all the time，but to her calf it was music．
60．The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw
．
A．the calf was about to fall into the river
B．Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rock
C．the calf was washed away by the rising water
D．Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water
61．How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water?
A．By putting it on a safe spot．
B．By pressing it against her body．
C．By taking it away with her．
D．By carrying it on her back
．How did the calf feel about the mother elephant’s roaring?
A．It Was a musical note．
B．It was a sign of danger．
C．It was a call for help.
D．It was a great comfort
．What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Mother’s Love
B.A Brave Act
C.A Deadly River
D.A Matter of Life and Death
C
”Can’t sing. Can’t act. Dances a little.” Here’s another stupid mistake. When the great scientist Albert Einstein was at school, his teachers considered him rather dull. And a final story, the famous Polish pianist Paderewski was told by a teacher that he’d never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.
What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences?
First, true genius (天才） cann’t be suppressed(压抑）． For some reason or other it works its way out. Second, early judgments of a person’s abilities may be unfair or just wrong. Third, when there is a real determination to succeed, obstacles fall by the wayside.
The famous motto “ad astra per aspera” can be translated as “ To the stars through hardships”. Astaire, Einstein and Paderewski proved their critics wrong.
64. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. Fred Astaire was a famous dancer.
B. True ability will always make itself known.
C. Some people never get discouraged.
D. Albert Einstein prove his teachers wrong.
When Paderewski’s teacher told him he’d never be a success, the teacher was
.
A. Being humorous
B. Cheerful, though concerned
C. Somewhat hesitant
D. Seriously mistaken
“Ad astra per aspera” is used in the passage
.
A. As a motto for the three men’s lives
B. To show the value of Latin
C. To send the reader to the dictionary
D. To point out that genius is always recognized early
The writer of the passage thinks that the reader
.
A. Knows that the three men were successful men
B. Dreams to become like one of the men some day
C. Sympathizes with (同情） the poor teachers of the three men
D. Knows that Fred Astaire was an actor famous for performing Shakespeare’s plays
D
