After the terrible car accident, the whole world had been completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years, for he became both blind and deaf after the doctor had saved him. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such a sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him. By and by he finally regained the courage to live on.
On a hot summer afternoon he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all of a sudden. He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet. Unfortunately he was struck down to the ground by a lightning. The witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some twenty minutes later, lying face down in muddy water below the tree. He felt that he was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he didn’t dare to believe that he saw a plough lying near the wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, she shouted to their neighbors for help. And he saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly 10 years.
The news of Robert’s regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread across his area, and many doctors came to prove the truth of the news. Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of the lightning. However, none of them could give believable reasons. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock.
66. When Robert Edwards learned he lost both sight and hearing, he ______.
A. was looked down upon by his former companions
B. was unwilling to face the fact
C. lost the courage of continuing his life
D. regretted for what he had done
67. On a hot afternoon Robert Edwards stood under a big tree because______.
A. he didn’t want to get himself wet
B. he hoped to cool himself in the shade
C. he was waiting for his wife to carry him home
D. he wished to be cured by a sudden shock
68. Which word can best describe the feeling of Robert Edwards when he came to himself?
A. Regretful. B.Pleasantly surprised.
C.Nervous. D.Doubtful.
69. When hearing the news that Robert had regained his sight and hearing, many doctors came here to______.
A. call on him B. ask him for help
C. find out the real reason D. know whether it was true.

Early skyscrapers were built with thick heavy walls of solid brick, stone, or concrete. Now the new skyscrapers are built with a steel framework⑩ that supports the weight of the building. The solid walls are no longer needed, and the framework makes it possible to build to greater heights.
Built at first mainly for offices and shops, some skyscrapers are now becoming homes for people who want to live in the center of the city. The 100-story John Hancock Center, a Chicago skyscraper that opened in 1970, is an example. Between the first and 43rd floor, there are offices and shops. There is a swimming pool on the 44th floor.

In the centre of London there is a tall white building with the name “Bush House”. It is the home of BBC English.
BBC is the abbreviation of the British Broadcasting Corporation. It is an organization maintained by the government, providing British people with broadcasting and TV service.
At first, BBC was established as a private business. It began to broadcast on February 14, 1922. In 1927, it was reorganized and replaced by the British Broadcasting Corporation. In November, 1936, it became the first TV broadcasting corporation in the world with TV programmes broadcast.
BBC provides people with the latest news, entertainment and education. These programmes are not under the control of the government. Nor are they affected by other organizations. In the meantime, BBC does not express its own opinion on international affairs or public policy.
BBC has two TV channels, covering the whole country, that is BBC-1 and BBC-2 and three radio broadcast webs, one for family service, another for entertaining programmes, the third for special interesting programmes. The third web broadcasts four programmes. They are classical music, teaching programmes, sports and famous arts and common knowledge. BBC programmes include foreign language programmes, broadcast in 35 foreign languages.
The BBC World Service sends radio programmes around the world in 42 languages. With a regular audience of about 140 million listeners, it reaches more people than any other ternational broadcaster. The World Service also prepares news programmes for its sister television organization and is responsible for a major new gathering service getting information form the world’s media. The World Service receives a direct grant from the British Parliament for operating international broadcasting.
BBC English is part of the BBC World Service. BBC English is for people who want to improve their English. It broadcasts all kind of programmes, which change from month to month. There is a special grammar programme for explaining difficult grammar points. There are programmes about life in Britian. There is also a programme about the differences between written and spoken English. English lessons are broadcast every day on the radio with explanations in English and other languages. They are the easiest to follow. For example, BBC English broadcasts programmes for China with explanations in Chinese.
It is not difficult to find out information about the programmes. You can write to BBC English and ask for any information you need.
It is necessary to use a short-wave radio to pick up the programmes. Sometimes it is difficult to receive them clearly. If you do have difficulties, it is better to try once again another day.

第三部分:阅读理解(共12小题;每小题2分,满分24分)
请认真阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Few people realize that there is a big difference between formal English and informal English. Formal English is used for most writing, and often in public speaking and formal meetings. It pays close attention to grammar rules, because if we use proper grammar, our meaning is often more precise. Also, on important occasions, we do not want to appear uneducated or to offend (冒犯) others, so we are very careful about how we speak. Informal English is used in speaking or writing to our friends and family. It often does not pay such close attention to grammar rules, because when we speak or write to them, we want our words to flow quickly. Also, with our friends and family, we are usually not so worried about appearing uneducated or about offending them by how we write or speak.
A big difference between formal and informal English is the use of contractions. A contraction is where we make a word shorter or where we put two words together and take away some of the letters. For example, instead of saying “do not”, many people say “don’t”. Using contractions in our speech is fine because it sounds natural, especially when we speak to our friends. In formal writing, however, contractions are usually avoided because people might think that you have made a mistake, or that you do not know proper grammar.
In the same way we might make words shorter, in informal English we often make sentences shorter as well. For example, if someone asks you your name, you will likely answer with one word: your first name. However, in formal English we usually use complete sentences. For example, we might write “My name is John”. In most speaking, we may not need to use every word in a sentence because the person we are speaking to will probably still understand us. In most writing, however, every word in a sentence must be written out in order to make sure that we can be understood.
56. When we use formal English, _______.
A. we will offend others
B. we will appear educated on important occasions
C. we needn’t pay more attention to grammar rules
D. we can express ourselves more directly and more quickly
57. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “precise”?
A. simple B. direct C. puzzling D. clear
58. Contractions are best used when we are _______.
A. speaking at a formal meeting B. speaking to our friends
C. speaking in public D. writing an application (申请) letter
59. In speaking, we do not always use complete sentences because ______.
A. we do not care about grammar B. we do not want to sound stupid
C. we can still be understood D. we don’t want to waste time
Once in your taxi and the moment you leave the airport, you are amazed at the large amount of slow traffic. The volume of the traffic can be stressful to some.
The "Paseo de la Reforma (改革大道)", running southwest across the city, is one of the major tourist and business areas in Mexico City with many high quality hotels only walking distance from great restaurants and other tourist attractions. The only problem you will have is trying to see all of these sites during your vacation time.
One of the most popular attractions in this area is the National Museum of Anthropology along the northwest part of the street. There are thousands of artifacts on display showing the history of the area and numerous items found from the many Aztec sites in the area. Walking southwest from the museum, you will soon reach the Mexico City Zoo, which is a great place to spend an afternoon.
Across the street from the museum is the Chapultepec Castle, once an important site in the Mexican-American war. It"s also a good idea to take the train up the hill to where the castle is located as the hill is steep (陡峭的). It"s important to keep in mind that Mexico City is over 7,000 feet above sea level and some feel it difficult to breathe when walking.
You can take a taxi to the Coyoacan market during the evening on a weekend. It"s a great place to get some cheap souvenirs to bring back home and to enjoy some traditional Mexican cuisine. However, you must be careful where you eat and that the meat is well cooked.
小题1:The tourists in Mexico City may not be satisfied with______.
A.the high speed of the traffic | B.the heavy traffic of the city |
C.the polluted air in the city | D.their safety in the city |

P =" Paseo" de la Reforma M =" the" National Museum of Anthropology
C =" the" Chapultepec Castle Z =" the" Mexico City Zoo
