I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him

15、into a 31 village called Mijas, on condition that I took the car in to be 32 at a nearby garage. I readily accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas, and 33 to pick him up at 4 pm, then dropped off the car at the 34 . With several hours to spare. I went to a theater. 35, when the last movie finished, it was

16、six. I was two hours late!I knew Day would be angry if he 36 Id been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth. When I 37 there I apologized for being late, and told him Id 38 as quickly as I could, but that the car had needed some major repairs. Ill never forget the 39 he gave me. “Im

I called the garage to ask if there were any 42 , and they told me you hadnt yet picked up the car. ” I felt 43 as I weakly told him the real reason. A 44 passed through Dad as he listened attentively. “

Im going to walk home now and think seriously about 46 Ive gone wrong all these years.” “But Day, its 18 miles!” My protests and apologies were 47 . Dad walked home that day.

Because of this, most people think that craft no longer exists.One of the ways

23、 these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability. “Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have do

24、ne is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, most people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once

25、fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would

26、 probably do a better job than carpenters of old.One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and powerplanes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon say more

27、 to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craf

28、tsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.51. Compared to the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are . A. more successful B. more learned C. more imaginative D. more hardworking52. What does the underlined work “they” (paragraph 2) refer to? A. Carpenter

29、s who are fond of oak stairways. B. Carpenters who have college degrees. C. People who think highly of carpenters of old. D. People who think that modern material is of low quality.53. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss? A. People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways. B. It

30、is now expensive to employ a carpenter. C. Modern houses last as long as the old ones. D. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.54. What would be the best title for the text? A. Is Craft Dead?B. Craft, Back to Life? C. History of CraftsmanshipD. Carpenters Today and YesterdayBGrown-ups know th

31、at people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding?To see whether babies know objects are solid, T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion of a hanging ball. His plan w

32、as to first give babies a real ball, one they could reach out and touch, and then to show them the illusion. If they knew that objects are solid and they reached out for the illusion and found empty air, they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16- to 24-week-old

33、 babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence,We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that ro

34、lls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land?Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched t

35、he toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear. If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object pe

36、rmanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to

37、 notice the switch. Thus, the 16-week-old babies seem to have a sense of “something permanence,” while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.55. The passage is mainly about . A. babies understanding of objects B. effects of experiments on babies C. ba

38、bies sense of sight D. different tests on babies feelings56.In Paragraph 3,“object permanence” means that when out of sight, an object . A. still existsB. keeps its shapeC. still stays solid D. is beyond reach57. What did Bower use in his experiments? A. A chair.B. A screen.C. A film.D. A box.58. Wh

39、ich of the following statements is true? A. The babies didnt have a sense of direction. B. The older babies preferred toy trains to balls. C. The younger babies liked looking for missing objects. D. The babies couldnt tell a ball from its optical illusion.CWe are all interested in equality, but whil

40、e some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed

41、no examination is perfect but to have no tests or examination would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on l

42、uck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency the values and the purpose of each teacher.Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them a form of favouritism will replace equality at the moment. The bright child from a

43、n ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the brig

44、ht child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her schools reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school.The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to th

45、ese people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by

46、 some computer.59.The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that .A. bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs.B. poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets.C. children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs.D. children

47、attending ordinary schools achieve great success.60. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.B. There would be more opportunities and excellence.C. Children from poor families would be able to change their s

48、chools.D. Childrens job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.61. The opponents of the examination system will agree that .A. jobs should not be assigned by systematic selectionB. computers should be selected to take over many jobs.C. special classes are necessary to keep the scho

49、ol standardsD. schools with academic subjects should be done away with62. The passage mainly focuses on .A. schools and certificatesB. examination and equalityC. opportunity and employmentD. standards and reputationDHoliday Inns and McDonalds. both saw unmatched growth in the 1960s. Their growth ope

50、ned another direct business operation franchising.These operations have the same general pattern. The franchisor, the parent company, first establishes a successful retail business. As it expands, it sees a profit potential in offering others the right to open similar business under its name. The pa

51、rent companys methods and means of identification with consumers are included in this right. The parent company supplies skill, and may build and rent stores to franchisees. For these advantages the franchisee pays the franchisor a considerable fee. However, some of the advantages and disadvantages

52、are different.By extending a “proven” marketing method, a parent can profit in several ways. First, the franchisees purchase price gives the parent an immediate return on the plan. Then the sale of supplies to the franchisee provides a continuing source of profits. As new businesses are added and th

53、e companys reputation spreads, the values of the franchise increases and sales of franchises become easier. The snowballing effect can be dramatic. Such growth, too, bring into play the economies of scale. Regional or national advertising that might be financially impossible for a franchisor with 20

54、 franchises could be profitable for one with 40.The parent, then, finds immediate gains from the opportunity to expand markets on the basis of reputation alone, without having to put up capital or take the risk of owning retail stores. Added to this advantage is a less obvious but material one, Skil

55、led, responsible retail managers are rare. People who invest their capital in franchises, though, probably come closer to the ideal than do paid managers. In fact, the franchisee is an independent store operator working for the franchisor, but without an independents freedom to drop supplies at will

56、. Of course the factorys costs of selling supplies are less. But also certainly the franchisee buying goods that have had broad consumer acceptance will not casually change supplies, even when the contract permits. If the hamburger is not what the customer expected, they may not return. Having paid

57、for the goodwill, the franchisee wont thoughtlessly destroy it.63. Franchising refers to a business operation in which a successful parent company .A. sells name-brand goods to a private investorB. rents proven ideas and techniques for investmentC. sells the right, the guidance to a business under i

58、ts nameD. takes no advertising responsibility for individual investors64. The advantages of franchising to the parent company are all the following EXCEPT .A. an immediate investment return B. the profit from the sale of suppliesC. the ownership of additional retail stores D. the possibility of prof

59、itable advertising65. The passage mainly tells the reader .A. the advantages and disadvantages of franchising B. the benefits of franchising to the franchisorC. the unmatched economic growth in the 1960s D. some regional and national business operation66. What will the author probably discuss after

60、the last paragraph?A. More advantages of franchising. B. Negative aspects related to franchising.C. The standard of consumer acceptance. D. Risks of investment besides franchising E“Oh please God, no, no!” Stephen Eldredge cried out when he saw his wife, Shelli, badly wounded on the side of the road

61、. She had broken actually every long bone in her body, along with her pelvis, jaw, and cheekbones. He was terrified his bride would bleed to death.Stephen and Shelli had married just six months before near their home in South Jordan, Utah. They were in Hawaii on a family vacation with two of their s

62、ons. The family had rented electric motors and headed towards a nature preserve near Waikiki. But Shelli had fallen behind and the family turned back to make sure she was okay.Shelli lost so much blood that her heart couldnt function properly and she went into shock at the hospital. Physicians were

63、able to make her come to herself. On the first and second days there, she lived through half a dozen operations. On day three, the worst of Stephens fears came true. Shelli didnt wake. She had shown heart failure and lung failure. “I thought every heartbeat would be her last,” Stephen says.As days p

64、assed with no change, one doctor gently asked if it was time to let Shelli go. An MRI（核磁共振）showed her brain didnt have much chance of supporting life. Stephen couldnt bear the thought of trapping his wifes beautiful spirit in a body that would never work. If he kept her alive, what kind of life woul

65、d she have ? He called family, religious leaders, and physician friends in Utah for guidance.And he decided there still was a chance.The family moved Shelli to a Utah hospital closer to home. In the next few weeks she started opening her eyes, but it wasnt entirely clear how conscious she was. Nearl

66、y seven weeks after the accident, Stephen was joking with his sister in the hospital room when he saw Shelli smile, a big toothy grin. “Did you understand that?” he asked. She smiled again. Stephen fell to his knees in thanks.Shellis recovery has been slow but steady. Initially, she couldn t remembe

67、r much of the previous months, including her own wedding. Shelli has endured 17 operations so far and may require more surgery. She will definitely need more months of recovery. But she is able to walk. “Shes got her life back. Shes able to love and be loved, and be the person she was.” Elovie says.

68、When Shelli hears about each step in her recovery, she calls it “miracle after miracle”. As for his experience, Stephen says, “This is a story of fear that was slowly replaced by faith.”67. We learn from the first two paragraphs that .A. Stephen and Shelli left home to hold the wedding ceremony.B. S
