    Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.

    All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so.  We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.

    However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.

    There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.

    64. The new products become more and more time-saving because         .

    A. our love of speed seems never-ending            B. time is limited.

    C. the prices are increasingly high.                 D. the manufactures boast a lot.

    65. What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

    A. Imaginary life                              B. Simple life in the past.

    C. Times of inventions                          D. Time for constant activity.

    66. What does the passage mainly discuss?

    A. The present and past times.                   B. Machinery and human beings.

    C. Modern technology and its influence.           D. Imaginations and inventions.

    What Is a Boy?

        Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”. Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night．

    Boys are found everywhere－on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to． Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them． A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face, BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket．

    When you are busy, a boy is a trouble – maker and a noise． When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it．

    A boy is a mixture – he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand．

    He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines． He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime．

    Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper． Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes． Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-feet rope, six cents and some unknown things．

    A boy is a magical creature – he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”

    41．The whole passage is in a tone of _________．

           A．humor and affection               B．respect and harmony

           C．ambition and expectation              D．confidence and imagination

    42．By saying “he has five thumbs on each hand.”, the author means        .

           A．he has altogether five fingers        B．he is slow, foolish and clumsy

           C．he becomes clever and smart           D．he cuts his hand with a knife

    43．According to the writer, boys appreciate everything in the following except _________．

           A．ice cream                           B．comic books        

           C．Saturday mornings             D．Sunday schools

    44．What does the writer feel about boys?

           A．He feels curious about their noise．     

           B．He is fed up with these creatures．

           C．He is amazed by their naughtiness．     

           D．He feels unsafe staying with them．

    A man walks into a doctor’s office. He has a cucumber (黄瓜) up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. “What's the matter with me?” he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, “You’re not eating properly.”

    This is a popular joke among British school children. It shows Britain's famous dry and satirical (讽刺的) way of seeing the funny side of life. People say this unique sense of humor is one of Britain's national characteristics.

    The British sense of humor is different from other countries because it is often more negative. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing that works better than a socially inappropriate (不恰当的) joke. It reflects the culture where mocking (嘲弄) is part of everyday life.

    While most Britons don’t take these jokes too seriously, foreigners often don’t understand them. A recent survey found that most foreigners who visited Britain think the British are “unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor”.

    Are the British just not as funny as they think they are? Leo McKinstry, a British journalist, thinks the British are funny. “Accusing the British of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce (劳斯莱斯) that its cars are cheap and not good in quality,” he says.

    56. What does the doctor actually mean by the remark “You’re not eating properly”?

    A. What you have had is the cause of these problems.   B. You are not having the right food.

    C. You don’t eat the way people usually do.           D. You eat with the wrong cutlery. ( 餐具 )

    57. The word “dry” in Paragraph 2 means ________.

    A. without water or liquid inside                  B. special and popular among school children

    C. dull and meaningless                         D. funny and clever while seeming to be serious

    58. Why do most visitors, who once visited Britain, think that the British are unfriendly?

    A. Because the British always take things seriously.

    B. Because the British have no sense of humor.

    C. Because the British are cold and difficult to get along with.

    D. Because the British have a different sense of humor.

    59. Which of the following is NOT the characteristics of British humor?

    A. dry and satirical                              B. negative and mocking

    C. encouraging and gentle                         D. clever and witty
