As

newspaper
reporter, Inez s father traveled around the world. He wrote stories about the interesting people he
met. On her fifteenth birthday, Inez could hardly believe it when her father announced that she
was old enough to go with him on one of his trips He said his next story would be about salt
www.liuxue86.com

 www.liuxue86.com

mining in Europe. Inez had never thought much about saltshe didn' t know what to expectbut
she knew she would love being with her father.
Months

later,

when Inez and her

father arrived at the salt mine they found themselves walking into the middle of a busy
workday. Mrs. Walker, the owner, said she would not be available to talk until the workday was
over. She suggested that Inez and her father should help out so Inez s father would have firsthand experience for his story. Before Inez realized what was happening, she was in the factory.
This was not what she had imagined her trip would be like. People rushed past her carrying
hammers, nails, and wood to make boxes for the salt. Everyone seemed to be in such a hurry. As
another newly constructed box was pushed at her, Inez spread a label with glue and stuck it on the
side of the box. When she had agreed to go with her father on his newspaper assignment, she had
pictured an adventure, not hard labor.
Inez looked at
the

salt

covering

her father' s once-blue pants and sighed. She could taste the salt in her mouth and smell it in the
air. Inez had been using salt all her life, but she had never imagined that it existed in such
quantities or that it was so hard to package.
Inez'
father

rubbed

his hands together and grinned at her. I know this probably isnt what you had in mind he
said, but sometimes the best days are the ones that don' t go as planned.
Best? she
wondered. She
had learned two lessons today. One was to value every grain of salt to fall from a shaker. The other
was to hear the details before agreeing to go on a job with her father!
56. Why does Inez's father travel around the world?
A. He relaxes after he finishes writing.
B. He enjoys moving around from place to place.
C. He likes to take his family on adventure trips.

D. He needs to collect information for stories.

57. What job does Inez help to do in the salt mine?
A. To attach labels to the box.
B. To interview
the workers.
C. To carry salt packages. I). To package the salt.
58. How does Inez feel while working at the salt mine?
A. Happy. B. Inspired. C. Disappointed. D. Annoyed.
59. Why does the author most likely write this story?
A. To discuss what it is like when a child travels with a parent.
B. To describe how places around the world are different.
C. To explain which tools are used when packaging salt.
D. To show that sometimes events turn out differently than expected.

Dear Mr. Whitman,
I am writing to thank you for allowing Maria and me to use your office as a workspace as well
as to praise your wonderful organizational skills. Maria and I as you know, have been in your
office many times in the past few clays writing letters to raise money for our community service
trip to Pucallpa, Peru , where we will work with poor children. Not only did you allow us to use
your office space, but also you helped us greatly by providing us with a list of possible
contributors. Without your assistance, I don t think we would have been able to raise enough
money for such a trip.
We recognize that accepting our request for office space required flexibility on your partbut
because of your excellent organizational skills and assistance we were able to accomplish our
objectives without disrupting your daily routine. Every time we needed office supplies, such as
pens, highlighters, envelopes, or paper, we were able to find them with ease. Your donations of the
materials and postage needed to send over one hundred letters are most appreciated. We could not
have done this without you.
You have helped us greatly this past week. Your generosity will not only provide us with the
opportunity to make this trip possible, hut will also be a great benefit both to the children in
Pucallpa and us. Again, we thank you for your help.

Hawaii is an important trading center and about six million tourists visit there every year.
With all that traffic in and out, exotic species(have plenty of opportunities to reach
the islands. According to biologists, exotic species are the number one threat to the state' s
economy, environment, and way of life.
The question in Hawaii is, can the invaders be stopped
Quarantines are one way to do this. Quarantine is the process of isolating animals or products.
In Hawaii, pet dogs and cats coming into the state remain in a special holding facility for four
months to make sure they don t have rabies( Many agricultural products are also
quarantined to see if they are carrying insect pests or plant diseases.
Inspection is a second way to stop biological invaders. At airports, borders, and shipping
ports, inspectors examine passengers and their baggage to see if they are carrying exotic species.
The inspectors also destroy fruits, vegetables, or other goods that might be carrying harmful pests
or diseases. Specially trained dogs also smell goods in the ship for exotic species.
www.liuxue86.com

 www.liuxue86.com

What if an exotic species slips by inspectors? Then efforts are made to control the invader. In
Hawaii government agencies control invaders by setting livetraps around wildlife shelters and
other places. At Haleakala National Park employees have built miles of fences to keep out exotic
pigs and goats. For years these animals ate and walked over native rain forest plants, hut the
fences have helped reverse( this damage. Now native plants grow in places that were bare
rock only a short time ago.
In some cases biological control helps to solve the exotic species problems. It is the science of
controlling one invader with another. In the early 1900s, several exotic predators(
were imported to Hawaii to eat a harmful exotic pest called the sugarcane leafhopper. The insect
was destroying 70,000 tons of sugar a year but the predators brought it under control.
The efforts of these scientists and other people are vitally important. In Hawaii
alone10000 different species of native plants and animals still need to be protected. Many of
these are found nowhere else on earth. By stopping the spread of the biological invaders, we not
only protect ourselves, but we also protect the many other native species that make our planet such
a special place to live.
63. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. the methods for preventing exotic species
B. the effects of exotic invasion on Hawaii
C. the problems faced by the Hawaiian economy
D. the role of biologists in controlling native species
64. Hawaii is at a great risk of invasion by exotic species, because ______.
A. many agriculture products grow there
B. regular inspections of animals are useless
C. millions of people go to Hawaii each year
D. biological control efforts have not worked
65. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Animals and products are put in quarantines before entering Hawaii.
B.

Trained

dogs are used to

examine passengers and their baggage.
C. Livetraps and fences are set to protect exotic pigs and goats.
www.liuxue86.com

 www.liuxue86.com

D. Some exotic predators are imported to destroy invaders' food.

66. What argument does the author make in the last paragraph?
A. Hawaii has the most unknown species of plants on earth.
B. Humans have a responsibility to control exotic species.
C. Scientists make the difference to the species protection.
D. Species should be allowed to exist without human interruption.

My friend Fowkes, tells a story of a class he took in 1930s, when books were short and
expensive. On the first day the professor marched up to the blackboard, looked through his notes,
cleared his throat, and began. Fowkes was the only student in the course. Once Fowkes fell ill and
missed a class. When he returned, to Fowkes' s astonishment, the professor began to deliver not
the next lecture in the sequence but the one after. Had he lectured to an empty hall in the absence
of his only student? It was perfectly possible.
Today, professors continue to lecture and students to listen much as they did. It s time for us
to abandon the lecture system and turn to methods that really work.
Attending
lectures

is

passive learningat least for inexperienced listeners. Active learning, in which students write
essays or perform experiments and then have their work evaluated by an instructor, is far more
beneficial for those who have not yet fully learned how to learn. Most students learn best by
engaging in debate. They need small discussion classes that demand a joint effort of teacher and
students rather than classes in which one person, however learned, expresses his or her own ideas.
The
system

lecture
harms

professors as well. It reduces feedback to a minimum, so that the lecturer can neither judge how
well students understand the material nor benefit from their questions or comments. Questions that
require the speaker to clarify unclear points and comments that challenge inadequately constructed
arguments are indispensable to scholarship. Without them, the liveliest mind becomes dull.
If lectures make so little sense, why have they been allowed to continue? The truth is that
lectures are easier on everyone than debates. Lectures give some students an opportunity to sit
www.liuxue86.com

 www.liuxue86.com

back and let the professor run the show. In a classroom where everyone contributes, students are
less able to hide and professors have less room to show off how smart they are.
Worse
still,

the

lectures too frequently come at the wrong end of the students educational careers during the
first two years, when they most need close, even individual, instruction. If lecture classes were
restricted to junior and senior undergraduates and to graduate students, who are more
academically independent and more capable of working on their own, they would be far less
destructive of students' interests and enthusiasms. After allstudents must learn to listen before
they can listen to learn.
67. The author tells a story in Paragraph 1 to ______.
A.

lead

into the main

argumentation
B. provide the historical background
C. show reasons for lecture absences
D. compare two different kinds of classes
68. What can we learn about the current lecture system?
A. Students take passive part in small discussion classes.
B. The professors need more room to present their talents.
C. Lectures are
mainly intended for
junior and senior students.
D. It is far from beneficial for those academically inexperienced students.
69. The underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A. common

B. necessary C. available D. abundant

70. What is the best title for the passage?

A. College Lectures Graduates or Undergraduates?
B. College Lectures Advantages and Disadvantages
C. College Lectures Continue or Not?
D. College Lectures Today and Past

Potato chips, which are popular everywhere today, had an unusual origin. The snack came
about because of a complaint and an argument. An American named George Crum is credited with
inventing potato chips. 71 ______
In
1853 Crum
worked in Saratoga Springs as the chef. One day a customer sent his serving of fried potatoes hack
to the chef, complaining that they should have been sliced thinner. Chef Crum prepared another
serving of thinner fried potatoes. The customer again returned them. By this time, Crum was
angry. He thinly sliced a large number of potatoes and then salted and fried them. 72 ______ To
Crum' s surprise, the customer loved them. The man even requested more. Afterwards, the
customer left the restaurant to tell everyone about the delicious new food.
73 ______ What is known is that Crum named his new dish potato crunches although
locally they became known as Saratoga Chips. When Crum opened a new restaurant, he put
baskets of his chips on all the tables. Some people claimed, however, that potato crunches were
not even on the menu. People who are aware of the success of the potato chip industry think it
strange that Crum never patented his Saratoga Chips.
An
important
advance in the potato chip industry came in 1926 when Laura Scudder developed the waxed
paper bag at her potato chip factory. Scudder had her workers take home sheets of waxed paper to
make into small bags. The workers used their clothing irons to iron the sheets of paper. The heat
from the irons quickly melted the wax, causing the sheets of paper to stick together. 74 ______
The tops were then sealed with heated irons. The hags kept the chips fresher so they could be
shipped to customers far away.
Three years later, a new type of fryer allowed further development in the cooking of potato
chips. With the continuous fryer, many more chips could be cooked at the same time. Today,
people all over the country enjoy the tasty snack. 75 ______

A. In the early 1900s, things changed, and several companies around the United States began
making potato chips.
B. Although the potato chip began as an accident, it is now one of America' s most popular
snack foods.
C. The next day, they hand packed potato chips into the bags, but the job was not quite
finished.
D. They sold the chips to neighborhood stores from boxes and glass cases.
E. No one knows exactly how Crum reacted to the experience.
F. He did not, however intend to invent anything.
G. His aim was to annoy the demanding customer.
