As he sat up and yawned, a pair of strong hands seized his shoulders, and in a moment his wrists were t

21、ied tightly together behind his back. He turned and stared into Branko' s hairy fa“What' s this? ” he said. The old man tested the knots before answering,“OrdePeter ' s changed his mind. Until we can check on you.”Martin swore loudly, then asked if he could talk to Black Peter. Branko sh

22、ook his head,“ He' s busy. " Martin was seized by despair. Now all his plans might fall unlesshe could gain the confidence of Black Peter.After some thought he stood up and walked to the mouth of the tunnel. Branko followed. The grassy hollows were alive with men busy with their various dut

23、ies. There must have been a stream somewhere nearby, for a long line of men were taking their horses to the water; others were setting up tents and lighting fire. Immediately opposite was another tunnel at the entrance of which stood two guards armed with guns. Behind them Martin made out the giant

24、form of Black Peter. “There he is, " he said, “I must talk to him. " Branko tried to stop him, but he pushed him aside, walked to the mouth of the tunnel and called out :" Black Peter! I must talk to you.”The leader of the White Eagles was seated on a wooden box, deep in conversation

25、with two rough-looking men. "Whatis it? ”he said, “Whyare you checking on me? Martinreplied. "heed to be sure about you, “said Black Peter. "There'too much to close. " He pointed into the tunnel, and Martin saw the wooden boxes that heguessed must containhe gold bars. “Is tha

A. he was so satisfied with what he had doneB. he had decided to trust MartinC. he saw that he could no longer keep it a secret D. he knew that Martin could not escape Passage 3The aim of the teacher is to get his pupils as quickly as possib

30、le over the period in which each printed symbol is looked at for its shape, and arrive at the stage when the pupil looks at words and phrases, for their meaning, almost without noticing the shapes of the separate letters.When a good reader is at work, he does not look at letters, nor even at words,

31、one by one, however quickly; he takes in the meaning of two, three, or four words at a time, in a single moment. Watch carefully the eyes of a person who is reading, and it will be seen that they do not travel smoothly along the lines of print, but they move by jumps separated by very short stops. T

32、he eyes of a very good reader move quickly taking 10ng jumps and making very short halts; the eyes of a poor reader move more slowly, taking only short jumps and stopping longer at each halt. Sometimes, when he meets a difficulty, he even goes backwards to see again what has already been looked at o

33、nce. The teacher ' s task is therefore clear: it is to train his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one-jiamp" ) and to remove the necessity for going backwards to readsomething a second time.This shows at once that letter-by-letter, or syllable-by-syllable (音節(jié))or word-by-word rea

34、ding, with the finger pointing to the word, carefully fixing each onein turn, is wrong. It is wrong because such a method ties the pupil' s eyes down to <very short jump, and the aim is to train for the long jump. Moreover, a very short jump is too short to provide any meaning or sense; and i

35、t will be found that having struggled with three or four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again, all together and in one group, in order to get the meaning of the whole phrase.46. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the first paragraph?A. Pupils should be trained to reach

36、quickly the stage of reading without having to concentrate on the separate symbols.B. Pupils should look at each printed symbol for its meaning as well as for its shape.C. Teachers should help their pupils avoid looking at the shape of the printed symbols.D. Teachers should tell their pupils the dif

37、ferent stages of their study.47. In a single moment, a good reader picks up.A. several words B. several phrases C. several sentences D. several lines48. According to the passage, which of the following is FALSE?A. The eyes of a good reader make short halts and long jumps.B. The eyes of a bad reader

38、take in the meaning of one word at a time.C. The eyes of a bad reader take only short jumps.D. The eyes of a good reader move steadily.49. One may have to read something a second time if.A. there is enough timeB. one reads too fastC. the passage is very long D. one reads word by word 50. The main id

39、ea of the last paragraph is that. A. word-by-word reading is highly inefficientB. the pupil ' s eyes should focus on groups of syllables instead of single syllablesC. pupils have to move their eyes back and forth when readingD. finger-pointing in reading helps the pupil concentrate on meaning Pa

40、ssage 4Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatre

41、d. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the incident of tragedy involving murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesse門ncidents cau

42、sed principally by minor national contests.One country received its second place medals with visible anger after the hockeyM 棍球）final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have

43、been disallowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair. Their managerwas in a rage when he said:"This isn Hockhocnythe International HockeyFederation are finished. " The president of the Federationsaid later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at lea

44、st three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place toRussia after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disorder, it was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds s

45、till to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the US had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the resu

46、lt would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non national teams, might be too much

47、 to hope for. But in the present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive（為過分 的）patriotism （愛向心）.51. The author thinks that in recent years Olympic Games have.A. showed little international friendshipB. greatly encouraged international brotherhoodC. created goodwill

48、between the nationsD. created only misunderstanding and hatred52. What did the manager mean by saying “Thisisn ' hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished” ？A. This is not a standard hockey match.B. The Federation would not exist any longer after this match was over.C.

50、as too inefficient in making a decisionD. the American team should have taken the first place54. The author gives 2 examples in the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs in order to show that.A. contests often end in disorderB. no contests are fair in Olympic GamesC. competition discourages international frien

51、dshipD. unfair decisions are common in sports55. Which statement best summarizes this passage?A. Athletes should compete as individuals.B. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.C.

55、o a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.Now scientists are developing even 61 equipment.With this new equipment,men can stay below the surface for days or 62 weeks.In 1962 Consteau set up a research station which was 35 feet below the surface.It was the first undersea

56、 station to operate 63 help from the surface.Many countries are now studying undersea environment.The Soviet Union has an undersealaboratory in the Crimean Sea.The United States has a laboratory 50 feet 64 on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands.In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks.Then a 65

57、 of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory.Later came other teams of men.All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans forthe use of its resources.Scientists hope to find enough mineral,vegetable,and animalwealth there to provide food for the whole world.()56.A. inB.toC. onD.u
