But Clark Summers of the University of Detroit has shown that this doe

25、sn't always have to be true.Clark is a different kind of fencer in a lot of ways. He is American, while most fencers are from the countries of Europe. He is black while most fencers in the past have been white. And he is only 22 years old.Many people think that Clark is the most promising fencer

26、 in this country today. Although he is young, he has been able to master the necessary skills. Already he has won a number of fencing contests （競(jìng)賽）against older fencers. He is almost certain to become a member of the U. S. Olympic （奧林匹克）fencing team!“There is no real danger in fencing, today5n Clark

27、 says. 4lBut I never forget that fencing was not always a sport. In the old days, People fenced to settle a quarrel. Each match was a matter of life and death. If that came true in the matches I play in today, every touch against me would mean that I had been wounded or killed. So I try to play as i

28、f I were fencing for my life. I don*t like the idea of being killed!”56. Most people think that can do fencing.A. kids B. teenagers C. adults D. senior citizens57.

30、eal danger in fencing B. he doesnl like the idea to be killedC. he wants to settle all the quarrels D. each match is a matter of life and deathBReading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir （知識(shí)庫(kù)）which may be called experience, and the college

31、 student will find that every craftsman （工匠）has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them . The information from them differs from （不同于）that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical （理論 的）part - the explanations of w

32、hy things happen - is frequently quite fantastic （神奇的）. But the demonstration （示范）and report of what happens , and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms （術(shù)語(yǔ)）.Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject.

33、One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional （傳統(tǒng)的）practices handed down from father to son , or mother to daughter, of old country customs （習(xí)慣）,of folklore （風(fēng)俗）.All this

34、is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass.

37、experience for the college student 62. From this passage we can infer that.A. well invite the craftsman to teach in the collegeB. schools and books are not the only way to knowledgeC. scientific discoveries late based on personal experienceD. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important sour

38、ce of knowledge for acollege student63. The author advises the college student to.A. be contemptuous to the craftsmanB. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific termsC. learn the craftsman's experience by judging it carefullyD. gain the craftsman's experience without rejection64.

When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voi

41、ces, important news could be sent quickly over distance.In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums（鼓）.Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages

42、were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet. It was

43、 like spelling out words with flags and arms.Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds.65. According to t

47、r wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea-bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in the fifty- metre high outer wall. The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete。昆泥土）and glass. The

48、 glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this man - made harbor would be calm. On it would be floating islands carrying more building: a hospital, two theaters, museum, an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands

49、 would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water.People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas.

54、ng broken into while he is away? One step is to make sure that the house seems a lived-in one. Living room curtains should be pulled down only half-way.

55、type （雙彳呆險(xiǎn)）. Still another is to leave several 100W lights burning and make sure that one is in the kitchen. Lights that turned on and off by themselves are the best.
