Linda and David have traveled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised (答应)her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she has done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little.
“ If there was an accident,” he says, “they’d know soon enough. Bad news travels fast.”
But Linda has promised that she would ring. “However,” she says, “it doesn’t cost much when you just think that it’s the other side of the world. It’s only six pence per second.”
“If you talk on that telephone for less than a minute, I’ll eat my hat.” David says. “And one minute’s nearly four pounds.”
“That’s no more than you’d pay for a new hat.” Linda answered.
She asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it up.
“Hello, Mum. Is that you?” she says.
“Six pence per second.” David reminds her.
“Hello, love.” It is Mrs Lee, Linda’s mother, speaking from London. “I can hear you clearly just as if you were in the next room. It’s a better line when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I shouted at that time, and still you couldn’t hear me sometimes.”
“ Yes, Mum.” Linda puts in. “I just want to ring to…”
“I remember how you rang when you went to Betty’s house to eat, when you were a little girl. And then when you…” Mrs. Lee is a great talker.
“Nearly four pounds,” says David.
Linda tries to tell her mother that it’s time to say goodbye.
“Yes, all right,” says Mrs. Lee. “But you’ll write , won’t you, as you did when you were at work…”
Once again, Mrs. Lee talks about the past, and there is no stopping her.
“Four pounds fifty,” says David.
At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.
“There ! That wasn’t long, was it?”
“ Four pounds, ninety pence.” David answers. “And you didn’t even say that we’ve arrived.”
46. Linda is telephoning home to____________.
A. tell her mother some bad news

I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket for the film Titanic last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30 the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes.
Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip—so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting for over an hour. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold all the tickets.
52. He tried to go the cinema every day but really got there_________________.
A. five times B. four times C. three times D. twice
53. What does the writer really want to tell us in this passage?
A. It’s not convenient to live far away from the cinema.
B. Unlucky things always happen in our life.
C. It’s hard to buy tickets for popular films.
D. We should take cars instead of buses because buses will take a lot of time.
54 Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?
A. The writer was too busy to have time for a rest during the day.
B. The buses running between his office and Richland Hills were always on time on Thursday.
C. He couldn’t buy the tickets any day both before and after work hours.
D. It always took him about twenty minutes to get to the cinema by bus.
55. Choose the best title for the story.
A. Advice on Buying Tickets B. Tickets Sold Out
C. A wonderful Film D. A difficult Problem

一、阅读理解:
Aristotle lived in Greece over 2000 years ago. He was very interested in plants and animals and in how the human body works. The Greeks weren’t the only people interested in how body worked. Old drawings and texts from China and the Middle East also showed human organs(器官). Some even showed plant organ.
At first, information about organs came from operations and from cutting up dead bodies. Now we can look at X-rays and body scans, too.
In the late 1700s, a French doctor called Xavier Bichat did hundreds of post-mortems. Post-mortems are operations carried out on dead bodies, to find out what killed them. Bichat found that each human organ contains more than one kind of material. He listed 21 different kinds. Today , we call these materials tissues. Bichat wasn’t able to see the detailed structure of these tissues (组织), because he didn’t have a microscope.
