New York was very proud of its electric trolleys(無軌電車) at the turn of the century. They were the latest way to get around. But Mary Anderson, who visited New York from her native Birmingham, Alabama, 1902, did not like them at all. She thought they were not safe.

It was not that the drivers were bad. It was the windshields (擋風(fēng)玻璃). In those days, drivers rubbed their windshields with damp tobacco. This was supposed to help off rain and snow. But it did not work too well. Anderson watched as the trolley drivers struggled to see out of their windshields, and came up with an idea.

Back in Alabama, Anderson made the first windshield wiper by fixing handle （把手）to a rubber blade (片). This, in turn, was fixed to the windshield. The drivers had to turn the handle back and forth by hand to make the blade wipe off the rain. But it worked. And travel in bad weather was made a little safer for everyone.

56.Which of the following best gives the main idea of this passage?

A.How Mary Anderson visited New York?

B.How drivers cleaned their windshields?

C.How the first windshield wiper came into being?

D.How windshield wiper was made?

57.Though New Yorkers had great pride in electric trolleys, Mary disliked them because she thought ______________.

A. they were dangerous            B.they kept off rain and snow

C.their windshields were not good    D.their drivers were inexperienced

58.To stop rain and snow coming on the windshields, a trolley driver had to _______.

A. work hard              B.see out of them clearly 

C.struggle in the trolleys     D.use damp tobacco to clean them

59.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.    The windshield wiper helped keep off the rain.

B.     The windshield wiper was turned by the driver.

C.     The rubber blade was fixed to the windshield.

D.    The windshield wiper was made in Alabama.

Marlin Perkins’ keen interest in animals, especially snakes, brought him a lot of trouble when he was young. His landlady never excused him for keeping snakes in his closet. After two years of college, he left school and found a job in a zoo, sweeping the sidewalks for $3.50 a day. He was very happy about it because he could now watch animals and study them all day long. He soon became an official in charge of reptiles (爬行動物)and then director of the Buffalo Zoo.

Through his snake-hunting expeditions, Perkins won his fame as a snake expert. His love for snakes is such that he thinks of them in terms of (根據(jù)) personalities. However, snakes do not have the universal appeal as he wishes. Even Perkins’ most favorite animal Bushman, the 550-pound toughest African ape, was frightened by snakes. Bushman once escaped from his cage. Nothing could draw him back. Finally a keeper went to the reptile house, got three little snakes, and dangled (搖晃) them toward Bushman. The great ape nearly tore the place apart getting back to the safety of his cage.

Perkins likes all animals and takes more interest in them than many parents take in their own children. He keeps daily records on all the baby animals, takes their temperature and watches their diet strictly. Speaking about his success, Perkins sums up his philosophy of life as follows: “My life has taught me that the surest path to success is to find out what you most enjoy doing, then set out to do it.”

Women’s roles have changed throughout the world in recent years, but nowhere so obviously as in America .As the roles of women have changed ,so have men’s .In many American homes today ,the husband still carries on his traditional role of breadwinner ,while his homemaker wife is in charge of the home and child―raising. But it is more and more common to find that the children are left in day ?care centers or nursery schools while both parents work .The woman may earn as much or more money than her husband. At home ,household duties are shared in varying degrees by all family members .It is not unusual to find father cooking dinner ,cleaning the living room or changing the baby .Mother might be outside mowing the lawn or washing the car .Children have responsibilities ,too .One of the goals of the Women’s Liberation Movement has been to have both men and women share in childcare, housework and financial responsibility. Today many American women will not marry a man who is not willing to share equally in household responsibilities.

The high cost of living has made it necessary for many women to have jobs outside the home ,but women often choose to have jobs in order to use their skills and education or to seek a more fulfilling and interesting life .Many American women enjoy the independence that an outside job and the salary give men and even some women―sometimes are not for women working outside the home ,and in some cases ,a woman might be paid less than a man who performs the same job .American women ,however ,have met challenges（挑戰(zhàn)）since pioneer days ,and they continue to work for true equality.

       Shakespeare ,more perhaps than any other writer ,made full use of the greatest resources of the English Language .Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English ;Shakespeare in his works used about twenty―five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it .Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspects of English usage ,and the meaning of many words ,have changed since Shakespeare’s day.

       However ,it is surprising that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author. We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford―on―Avon ,and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the Grammer School in the town ,but of this we cannot be sure .We know he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children .We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces .But this is almost all that we do know .

       However ,what is important about Shakespeare’s life is not its incidental details but its products , the plays and the poems .For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare’s life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long tine critics（批評）have been theorizing（理論化）about the plays .Sometimes ,indeed ,it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it .

       Fortunately this is not likely to happen .Shakespeare’s people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere ,and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.

71．This passage is about         .

       A．the great length of each chapter

       B．the great varieties in writing styles

       C．the richness of the content in Shakespeare’s works

       D．the rich English language used by Shakespeare in his works

72．According to the writer ,which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare?

       A．His date of birth.

       B．His marriage.

       C．His life in the Grammer School.

       D．His date of death.

73．It can be inferred from Para 3 that           .

       A．not all the comments on Shakespeare’s works have produced good effects

       B．scholars have successfully collected facts about Shakespeare’s life

       C．critics are more interested in Shakespeare’s play than his poetry

       D．the details of Shakespeare’s life are more important than his literary works

74．What does the last sentence in Para 3 mean ?

       A．People don’t think the poetry of Shakespeare good any more.

B．People pay more attention to the comment than the poetry of Shakespeare.

C．People can’t see the poetry of Shakespeare any more.

D．The comment is printed on the poetry of Shakespeare.

75．“Shakespeare’s people” in Para 4refers to             .

A．the characters in Shakespeare’s products

B．the people whose native language is English

C．the people living in Shakespeare’s day

D．the readers of Shakespeare’s works

One possible version:

Dear friends,

       Here are my points .We students of today have to pay much attention to our lessons and know little of society though it’s not out fault .A holiday is the best time to make up for that .Taking a part―time job is a good form of social practice. What is learned in books can’t have the same deep effect on us as what is learned through experience .In social practice ,we can surely make progress in both knowledge and ability .Besides ,taking a part―time job ,we may get paid more or less to help our family .Thus ,I will say a senior school student should take a part―time job in holidays ,if possible ,of course.
