Earthquake in Central China Kills 14

BEIJING (AP)—A magnitude (级别) 5.7 earthquake shook part of central China on Saturday, killed at least 14 people and injured nearly 400, the official said.

The official Xinhua News Agency said the quake happened around 9:00 a.m. local time, with the epicentre(震中) in Ruichang, a city of 420,000 in Jiangxi province.

Hundreds of homes collapsed(倒塌) and thousands were damaged, Xinhua said.

“The earthquake this morning was quite scary,” said a shopkeeper in Ruichang reached by telephone who would only give her surname—Zhou.

Many people in Ruichang were staying outside for fear of aftershocks (余震). She said she felt a milder trembling of the earth around 1:00 p.m.

Tents were set up outside a hospital treating some of the 377 injured.

The United States National Earthquake Information Centre reported the quake was magnitude 5.5.

61. Where can we most probably find such a passage?

A. In a science book. B. In a newspaper.

C. In a magazine. D. In an advertisement.

When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to go to face the music,” it doesn’t mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called by your boss to explain why you did this or did that, and why you did not do this or do that. Terrible music, indeed, but it has to be faced. At some time or another, everyone of us has had to “face the music”, especially as children. We can remember father’s angry voice: “I want to talk to you!” And only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!

The phrase “face the music” is known to every American, old and young. It is at least one hundred years old. Where did the expression come from?

The first explanation came from the American novelist James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings(舞台两侧)to go on stage. After they got their clue to go on, they often said, “It’s time to go to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did—face the orchestra (乐队) which was just below the stage.

An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience (观众) that might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So “face the music” came to mean: having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.

65. The underlined phrase “face the music” means ___________.

A. plan to go to a concert

B. get one’s clue to do something

C. have to go through something far less pleasant

D. disobey what one’s father says

66. The passage tells us that the expression was first used by ____________.

A. children B. novelists C. actors D. audience

67. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The expression came from James Fenimore Cooper, an American novelist.

B. The expression has a history of more than100 years.

C. If someone doesn’t obey his boss, he will have to “face the music”.

D. Almost everyone has an unpleasant experience that he has had to face the

music.

C

Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did fool’s experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?

Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution (解决办法) to a problem. Sometimes, they do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.

Charles Darwin didn’t settle for (满足于) just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.

Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.

But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present day understandings of physics, and ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.

Scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard

about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the base of science.

68. The passage tells us that Charles Darwin __________.

A. was a great English scientist

B. always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult

C. thought even the simplest thing was important

D. didn’t get on well with others

69. The phrase “set aside” most probably means ____________.

A. throw away B. store up C. put to use D. realize

70. The writer of the passage tries to __________.

A. make us believe that Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest

scientists in the world

B. draw the conclusion that basic science are simple things

C. prove that two sheets of paper, with the same size and shape, will fall at the

same speed.

D. draw our attention to everyday happenings around us

71. Which one of the following is TRUE?

A. Darwin really did fool’s experimets.

B. According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments.

C. It is believed by all the people that things could be important though they

seemed to be simple

D. Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.

D

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my job stand in the way of being a good parent.

I no longer consider myself as the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.

So here’s what I want to tell you today : Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, or the larger house.

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find peole you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways, that, if I had had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.

I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.

By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.

72. The best title of this passage probably is _________.

A. Love your friends B. Live a real life

C. Don’t waste time D. Be a good mother and wife

73. How did the writer form her view of life?

A. Through social experience B. By learning from her friends

C. Through an unfortunate experience D. From her children and husband

74. By the underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraphn, the writer really means that people tend to _______.

A. make a living rather than live a real life

B. work rather than enjoy life

C. waste a lot in life

D. forget the most important lesson in life

75. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. the writer is a success in personal life

B. the writer didn’t try her best to work well

C. the writer spent all her time caring for her children

D. the writer likes traveling very much

Today,several friends of mine and I had a discussion on where to travel in the winter holiday. One friend, whose name is Wang Wei, insists on going to Tibet since he is eager to have the experience of being in a place he is not familiar with at all. However, the other friends don’t think it is a proper place to go. For one thing, we are too young. For another, we don’t have enough time or money. They try to persuade him, but he is so stubborn that it seems nothing can change his mind.

As far as I am concerned, Tibet is a beautiful and mysterious place, which is worth visiting as soon as possible. I agree with Wang Wei.
