"Defeated by the failure, I thought he would 54_ grief," said his wife, Clementine. He retired with his family to Hoe Farm. There, as Churchill later recalled, "The inspiration of painting came to my 55 !”

After the war, painting would offer deep 56 when, in 1921, the death of mother was followed two months later by the 57 of his beloved daughter, Marigold. Hit by grief, Churchill stayed at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: "I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with golden hills in the 58 . I keep 59 _the hurt of losing Marigold".

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Churchill was 60 ,his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in waste places, a lonely fighter trying to 61 Britain to the threat of Hitler, but 62 that wilderness bore great fruit, Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life.

Section B

Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

(A)

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to' many parts of the world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world's population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.

In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be expected to supply many of mail's needs.

The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by mail's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations (探险) have been carried out for nearly 30 years. V aluable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined (开采).

Fish fanning promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.

Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy.Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents (水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.

Technology is enabling man to explore even more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.

The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.

65. The major things that the sea offers man are ______________ .

A. fish, shellfish and oil

B. food, minerals and oil

C. warm temperature and ocean currents

D. food, energy sources and minerals

66. How can the warm temperature of the ocean be used as a possible source of energy?

A. It can be used as a huge air-conditioner to warm the ship.

B. It can work in a way similar to the steam in a steamboat.

C. The heat of the warm ocean can be transported to factories.

D. The heat of the warm ocean can be stored and delivered.

67. We can conclude from this passage that __________.

A. the sea resources have largely been used up

B. the sea. in the broad sense, has not yet been developed

C. the problems stopping us from developing the sea have been solved

D. Modem technology is good enough to exploit all the sea resources

68. The best title for this passage is ____________ .

A. Harvesting the sea with technology.

B. Supplying Sea Food

C. Technology for Developing the Sea.

D. Man and the Sea.

( C )

Intel chairman Andy Grove has decided to cut the Gordian knot of the dispute on stem cell (干细胞) research by simply writing a check. The check, which he guaranteed last week, could be for as much as 55 million, depending on how many donors make gifts of between 550,000 and 5,500,000, which he has promised to match. It will be made out to the University' of California-San Francisco (UCSF).

Thanks in part to such private donations, university research into uses for human stem cells, the cells at the earliest stages of development that can form any body part, will continue in California. With private financial support, the state will be less likely to lose talented scientists who would be tempted to leave the field or even leave the country as research dependent on federal (联邦政府的)money slows to glacial (极慢的) pace.

Held back by limits President Bush placed on stem cell research a year ago, scientists are turning to labs that can carry out work without using federal money. This is awkward for universities, which must spend extra money building separate labs and keeping strict records proving no federal funds were involved. Grove's donation, a first step toward a $20 million target at UCSF, will relieve the burden.

The president's decision a year ago to allow research on already existing stem cell lines was portrayed as a reasonable compromise (折中办法)between scientists' needs for cells to work with, and concerns that this kind of research could lead to wholesale creation and destruction of human embryos (胚胎), cloned infants and a general disrespect for human life.

But Bush's effort to please both sides ended up pleasing neither. And it certainly didn't provide the basis for cutting edge research. Of the 78 existing stem cell lines which Bush said are all that science would ever need, only one is in this country (at the University of Wisconsin) and only five are ready for distribution to researchers. All were grown in conjunction with mouse cells, making future therapeuti c ( 治疗的) uses unlikely.

The Bush administration seems bent on satisfying the small but vocal (直言不讳的) group of Americans who oppose stem cell research under any conditions. Fortunately, Groye and others are more interested in advancing scientific research that could benefit the large number of Americans who suffer from Parkinson's disease, nerve injuries, heart diseases and many other problems.

72. When Andy Grove decided to "cut the Gordian knot", he meant to_________.

A. put an end to stem cell research

B. end Intel's relations with Gordian

C. settle the argument on stem cell research

D. prohibit Gordian from doing stem cell research

73. According to Bush's decision, American universities had to_________ .

A. conduct the research in labs overseas

B. abandon the research altogether

C. carry out the research secretly

D. raise money to build separate

labs

74. We may infer from the passage that future therapeutic uses of stem cells will be unlikely unless__________.

A. human stem cells are used in the research

B. a lot more private donations can be secured

C. more federal money is used for the research

D. talented scientists are involved in the research

75. The reason why Bush placed limits on stem cell research was that__________.

A. his administration was financially limited

B. he did not want to offend its opponents

C. it might lead to a disrespect for

human life

D. it did not promise any therapeutic value

76.______________________

Glass, in one form or another, has long been in noble service to humans. As one of the most widely used of manufactured materials, it can be as impressive as a telescope mirror the width of a tennis court or as small and simple as a marble rolling across dirt. The uses of thi s adaptable material have been broadened dramatically by new technologies.

77. _____________________

Not all the glass technology that touches our lives is ultra-modern. Consider the simple light bulb; at the turn of the century most light bulbs were hand blown, and the cost of one was equal to half a day's pay for the average worker. In effect, the most light bulbs were hand blown, and the cost of one was equal to half a day's pay for the average worker. In effect, the invention of the ribbon

machine by Corning in the 1920s lighted a nation. The price of a bulb plunged.

78._______________________

The secret of the adaptation of glass lies in its interior structure. Although it is hard, and thus like a solid, the atoms are arranged in a random disordered way, characteristic of a liquid. In the melting process, the atoms in the raw materials are disturbed from their normal position in the molecular (分子) structure. This looseness in molecular structure gives the material what engineers call tremendous "formability", whi ch allows techni cians to tailor glass to whatever they need.

79.________________________

The use of glass as art, a tradition dates back at least to Roman times, is booming. Nearly everywhere, it seems, men and women are blowing glass and creating works of art. "I didn't sell a piece of glass until 1975," Dale Chihuly said, smiling. For 18 years he has become one of the most financially successful artists of the 20th century. He now has a new commi ssion, a glass sculpture for the headquarters building of a pizza company-----------------for whi ch his fee is half a million dollars.

80. ____________________________

Today, scientists continue to experiment with new glass mixtures and building designers test their imaginations with applications of special types of glass. A London architect, Mike Davies, sees even more dramatic buildings using molecular chemi stry. "Glass is the great building material of the future," he said. Think of how the tall buildings in New Y ork could perform a symphony of colors as the glass in them i s made to change colors instantly. Mike Davies's vision may indeed be on the way to fulfillment.

Section: D

Directions: Read the following passage and then complete the statements and answer the questions on the answer sheet.

On Oct.8, 1871, much of Chicago became an inferno. The fire began in or near the O'Leary family's barn. No one knows for certain how it started, but it developed into a big fire that consumed miles of city, killed about three hundred people, and left about one hundred thousand homeless. Many conditions may have contributed to the Great Chicago Fire.

Dry weather was one possible factor. The summer and autumn had been unusually dry, and 20 fires occurred the week before the Great Fire. Just the night before, the city's firefighters battled a severe fire, and many were exhausted. Besides firefighters' being very tired, the Chicago Fire Department was understaffed and inadequately equipped.

Also, most buildings were wooden, and many were crowded together. Even sidewalks were wooden, and rooftops were of shingles or tar --- both flammable (易燃的) materials. Interspersed between residences were warehouses and business, some containing paint and other flammable

merchandi se.

Although a citizen had surely sounded an alarm, the central alarm office had no record of it.

Possibly the alarm failed to work properly. To make things worse, a watchman scanning the skies for

fire misjudged the location and sent an alarm that caused firefighters to rush to an incorrect site. Realizing his error, the watchman tried to send a second alarm, but the telegraph dispatcher refused to

allow it, fearing that it would confuse the firefighters. These errors caused the fire to grow quickly out of

control before firefighters reached the scene.

Lacking telephones, radio and TV in 1871, few people in Chi cago realized the severity of the fire

until they had to scramble to escape it. Some people rushed into Lake Mi chigan to escape the flames,

while others fled to the prairie or elsewhere. Meanwhile, troops and civilians blew up buildings to

create a firebreak, hoping that it would contain the fire or, at least, slow its progress.

Strong winds blew burning ashes onto buildings and across the Chi cago River, causing the fire to

spread still farther. The fire lighted the oil and boats floating on the water and caused the gasworks to explode. It burned the wooden roof of the waterworks, which collapsed and destroyed the city's water

pumps. Unless firefighters could pump water from the river or lake, they were helpless to stop the

blaze. Just when it appeared that nothing would stop the big fire that roared through the city, rain fell

on Oct. 10 and contained the fire.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

81.Dry weather, flammable materials, _________________ and__________________ made the

fire spread quickly.

82.The phrase "contain”in the passage most probably means " ________________________________ " .

83.What made these firefighters so tired before they began to put out the fire?

_________________________________________________

84.Why couldn't these firefighters get water to put out the fire?

Section B

Directions:In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

Ben Johnson was one of the few men ever buried standing up. As the story goes, King Charles I liked his works very much and once made him a promise in 1743. The King told Ben, a famous novelist, that he could choose any place he liked for his grave.

Twenty years later, Johnson died. Then it was found that the spot he had picked up was already filled. The ground space left in it was just 18 square inches. It was too small for a grave. But Charles kept his word. He had Johnson's coffin placed on its end in such a small place. That way it would just fit.

Questions

11. What was Ben Johnson's probable occupation?

12.When did Ben Johnson die?

13.How did the King, Charles I bury Ben?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

Doctor Mayer once treated a child suffering a second degree burn. After the child had been treated and was being prepared for leaving, Dr. Mayer talked to the parents about how they should care for the child at home. Half a dozen other family members were also listening to her. A few hours later, when she came to say goodbye, the family asked her to settle an argument they'd been having over exactly what advice she had given. She said, "All of them had heard the simple instructions I had given just a few hours before, but they had different versions. The most basic details were unclear and confusing. I was surprised, because these were intelligent people. " This event made Dr. Mayer know that most people just don't listen very well.

Nowadays, she says she repeats her instructions, and even asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do. She also provides take-home sheets which are computer printouts for reference. Dr. Mayer's listeners are not unusual. When new or difficult material is presented, almost all listeners are faced with a challenge that human speech is not as accurate as the printed word.

Questions

14.What did the child' s family members argue about?

15.How did Dr. Mayer ensure her patients understand her instructions?

16.What does this passage

mainly tell us?

Section C
