（A）

In today's world English is the most widely used language. It is our duty to learn English in the new situation of the reform（改革） and open to the outside world.  Can we master the English language？In order to master it, I'd like to give you some good advice.

First, I think interest is the base of success. I enjoy listening to foreign friends talking to each other when I was a child. At the same time I watched the English programme "Follow me" on TV.  From then on, I kept on learning English. The more I learned, the more progress I made.

Second, practice is the key to learning English. Many people study English very hard, but they are very shy to speak it in public, for they are afraid of making a mistake. Remember, you have to make a mistake before you can correct it. "He who makes no mistakes makes nothing". A native speaker who has been speaking English almost 60 years still makes mistakes sometimes.

Third, the beginners in English should be encouraged to bay attention to idioms. The English language has many idioms. For example, you should say "He is as strong as a horse." but not "He is as strong as a cow."

56.The writer wants to tell us ______________.

A. the importance of learning English.

B. the new situation of the reform and open to the outside world.

C. some good ideas on how to master English.

D. the wide use of the English language.

57.If we want to learn English, we must first _______________.

A. show interest in it  B. enjoy listening to it.

C. watch English programmes on TV D. practise speaking it.

58. How do you understand the sentence "He who makes no mistakes makes nothing"?

A. To learn English well, we should make mistakes.

B. We can't stop making mistakes in English learning.

C. Mistakes can help people to improve themselves in doing things.

D. English is very hard to learn.

Sugar is so much a part of our modern life that we only really think about it when, for some reason, we cannot get it. It has been known to man for at least 3,000 years but has come into common use only in modern times. Until quite recently it was considered as a medicine and as a luxury (奢侈) for the very rich only.

Sugar is, then, very important to our civilization (文明). But what exactly is it? Of course, most of us recognize sugar immediately as the sweet material, which we put in coffee or cakes. This common form of sugar is derived (提取) from two plants: the sugar cane (a type of grass which grows to a height of twenty feet) and the sugar beet (which grows under ground). But there are in fact many types of sugar, and the chemist recognizes hundreds of different varieties, each coming from a different source.

About of 90% of the sugar is produced as food. Only 10% is used in industry for purposes other than food production. Yet sugar has great possibilities for use as the basis of chemicals. It can even be used for making plastics. In the future these potential (潜在) uses will certainly be developed more than in the past. There are many reasons why we should increase the production of sugar. Most important is that it is one of the most highly concentrated (高度浓缩)of energy foods. Thus sugar cane and beet produce an average of 76,000,000 calories per acre. In this way they have the advantage over potatoes, which give only 4,000,000, while the figure for wheat and beans is 2,000,000 each. So three acres of land growing wheat, beans and potatoes give only slightly more energy than one acre of sugar.

59.The heading of Paragraph I may be ___________.

A. The Advantages of Sugar  B. Present and Future Uses of Sugar

C. Sugar Through the Ages  D. What Sugar is

60. Sugar has been used widely ________________.

A. quite recently  B. in modern times  C. for at least 3,000 years  D. for 3,000 years

61. Which of the following is emphasized (强调) in Paragraph 3?

A. People even use sugar for making plastics.

B. About 90% of sugar is used as food.

C. Sugar can be used as the basis of chemicals.

D. Sugar will be of greater use in the future.

62.We should increase the production of sugar because _____________.

A. it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy food

B. it makes coffee or cakes sweet

C. we can save plenty of land growing it

D. we can get more calories from it

(C)

Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales died in a car accident in Paris when she and her boy fried, Dodi, sped their car on a highway to get rid of some troublesome reporters. The death of Diana moved the whole world. Millions have mourned (哀悼). At the funeral (葬礼) of the princess, Elton John sang the new version (版本)of "Candles in the Wind" on Saturday in Westminster Abby for Diana, a fan of hers since childhood.

Twenty years ago, the pop star wrote a song about another fallen icon (偶像), remembering Marilyn Monroe with a sentimental (伤感的) song called "Candle in the Wind". Now he has rewritten it to someone more real to him, his friend Princess Diana.

The song was published in 1973, which was written by John and Bernie, Taupin, John sang "Good-bye, Norma Jean (Monroe's real name)". Now he will sing "Good-bye, England Rose."

(D)

it is five o'clock. What was the time 7 hours ago? The situation corresponds to (符合)subtraction (减法)5-7=? in clock 12.

One way to answer the problem is to count the hours on an ordinary clock, but this time, count counterclockwise (逆时针). If the time is five o'clock now, then seven hours ago, it was ten o'clock. Thus, 5-7=10 In clock 12. How can you check the result?

In ordinary subtraction, you can check your answer by setting up the related addition (加法)problem. For example, to check 20-13=7, ask, "Is seven the number that must be added to 13 to produce 20?"

20-13=7 can be changed into 20=7+13.

To check 5-20=-15, ask , "Is 5=20-15 true?" This way may be used to check a subtraction problem in clock 12. Thus, 5-7=10 In clock 12. So we can know.

In clock arithmetic, as well as in ordinary arithmetic a-b=c means a=b+c

68. If it is 8 o'clock now, what was the time 9 hours ago?

A. 1 o'clock B. 3 o'clock C. 11 o'clock D. 17 o'clock

69. Which is correct in clock12?

A. 3-6+4=1  B. 1-10+5=6  C. 7-8+2=9  D. 9-11+10=4
