The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky  42   that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the  43   is only secondary.

Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to   51   their own theory, but   52   side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to   53   why a child learns a language so easily, we have to   54   the joint efforts of both schools.

The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us to adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.

But there is a way to handle pain. kook at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.

The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude towards it. ff the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.

56. What does the writer mean by saying "we pay for our sensitivity'" in the first paragraph?

A. We have to take care of our sense of' pain.   B. We suffer from our sense of feeling.

C. We should try hard to resist pain.        D. We are hurt when we feel pain.

I recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school day's, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader's Digest to test our vocabulary.

Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out "It pays to Enrich your Word Power" first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader's Digest knows the power that words have to move people — to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn't always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: "Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk."

Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That's usually how it is with Reader's Digest. Small and simple can be profound.

As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I've been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like "hope", "guts", "faith", "dreams". Those am words that move people and say' so much about the spirit of America.

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle — if it's the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It's a "secret" that I hope I never forget.

64. The passage is mainly about _______.

A. one of the many old memories      B. using simple words to express profound ideas

C. Reader's Digest and school speeches     D. how to make effective speeches

65. It seems that Reader's Digest is a magazine popular with _________.

A. people of all ages   B. teenagers      C. school teachers   D. elderly readers

66. The author's "secret" is _________.

A. to avoid using big words at any time  

 B. to use words that have the power to move people

C. to work a miracle by using a small word   

D. to use small and simple words where possible

67. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people ________.

A. hope, courage, and ideas              B. confidence, determination, and strength

C. pleasure, knowledge, and encouragement  D. entertainment, information, and power

D

There are two kinds of memory: short-mm and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.

Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.

To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.

Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.

68. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.

B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.

C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long, term memory.

D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.

69. From Henning's result we can see that ________.

A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of words

B. advanced students always remember words by their meaning

C. it is difficult to remember words that sound alike

D. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning

70. The word "subject" in the passage means _________.

A. memory                         B. the theme of listening material

C. a branch of knowledge studied        D. the student experimented on

71. The passage centers on ________.

A. memory                         B. two kinds of memory  

C. short-term memory                D. an experiment on students

E

Successful innovations (改革) have driven many older technologies to extinction (灭绝) and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand of raw materials and the speed of flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use for each person. The history of industrial development has a great number of examples.

In 1870, homes and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farmers. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings, a ratio (比率) that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological mm of mind. Had they been "economists", they would probably have projected the 1970 home or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been "technologists", they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed (受……约束) to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the home and mule population would decline rapidly.

72. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?

A. Older technologies die away.               B. The quality of life is improved.

C. Overall productivity increase.               D. More raw materials become necessary.

73. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 ________.

A. technology began to be more economical

B. the steam engine had not been invented

C. the U.S. horse population was about 10 million

D. a national commission on agriculture had been established

74. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that "economists" would ________.

A. plan the economy through yearly forecasts

B. fail to consider the influence of technological innovation

C. value the economic contribution of farm animals

D. consult the national commission on the economy

75. What is the author's attitude towards changes brought on by technological innovations?

A. He is excited about them                   B. He accepts them as natural

C. He is disturbed by them                    D. He questions their usefulness

One possible version:

As is described in the picture, the driver is speeding. I think he must be doing over one hundred and sixty miles at the moment. It seems as if the driver is trying to drive the car even faster than the plane above. The passenger sitting behind him looks terrified. But the driver is smiling and feeling quite confident, saying "NO sweat".

As is known to all among all the causes leading to traffic accidents, speeding is the most dangerous. Because the driver is traveling too quickly, he can't stop the car in time to avoid an accident.

As a driver, he must realize the harmfulness of speeding both to himself and to the society. Life is very important. For the sake of yourself and for others, don't drive too fast, especially when traffic is heavy.
