Keep your mind awake and youll stay young all over. These a
13、re exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, its not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial design
14、er; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the motion that you are too old to go to back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 a
15、nd is now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; thats the only youth elixir guaranteed to work .31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age
16、 is _ A. an impossibility B. a scientific factC a supposition D a ridiculous conclusion32. It is wrong to _A think oneself too old to go back to school B keep ones mind awakeC try to stay young D. get ones degree with honors33.

18、n brain never gets old with ageB. every person should take up a new occupation when he becomes oldC. staying young is not difficult if one is willing to tryD. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in whats going on around youPassage2 If we were asked exactly what we were doing a
19、 year ago. We should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day. We should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written
20、 account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good de
21、al about the people who lived in China 4,000years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write. Sometimes , of course, even if
22、the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell wha
23、t their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history.” Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is. Because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are
24、 no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.36. Which of the following ideas is not conveyed in the passage?A. “Remembered story”, compared with written history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past plays a most important role in our learning of the human history.C. A
25、written account of our daily activities helps us to answer some questions D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.37.

26、rtance of keeping a record.C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there had not known how to write38. “remembered history” refers to _A. history based on a persons imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC songs and dances about the
27、most important events.D. both B and C39. “remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when _A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be true.D. people are interested in it40. It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past th
28、an we do now if our ancestors had _A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPassage3 For years, international swimming has been controlled by a small number of powerful nat
29、ions. The U.S, Russia, Germany and Australia have produced some of the sports finest players and have won most of the top competitions and medals. But the results of this months world championships, which are being held in the Australian city of Perth, will not be so easy to predict. Since the 1996
30、Olympics in Atlanta, many new names and nationalities have emerged to take on the world leaders. The 1996 Olympics should have been an opportunity for the U.S to display its great swimming power, but instead it faced some embarrassing defeats. The surprises started on the first day of the competitio
31、ns, when Fred of Belgium set a world record in the competition for 100-metres breast-stroke(蛙泳). Never before had Belgium produced an Olympic champion swimmer. Two other countries also won swimming gold medals for the first time on the opening day. Irelands Michelle Smith delighted her country with
32、the first of her three gold medals. New Zealand also celebrated with Danyon Loaders gold in the mens 200-metres free style. Loader went on to win the 400 meters later in the competition. But late on the second day, the U.S teams officials and coaches were starting to be surprised. Penny Heyns of Sou
33、th Africa had broken the womens 100-metre breast-stroke record in the morning competitions before claiming gold in the final.41.

37、 greatest revolutions that have ever happened in our world. The invention of the petrol engine at the end of the nineteenth century led to another enormous change in our lives. And the computer is almost certainly going to be an invention no less important than these engines were. Just as there was
38、a Stone Age. An Iron Age and so on, we have been living for centuries in a Paper Age, during which almost all information was kept and sent on paper, and so much of it is wasted after it has been used once that enormous numbers of trees have to be cut down every year to provide us with this paper. B
39、ut now, with the computer, enormous amounts of information can be stored and sent without any paper at all, using small discs or the Internet. Computers have made it possible to do very difficult calculations very much faster than any earlier machine could. Computers also allow one to send informati
40、on to others anywhere in the world, via the telephone line, and to receive information from them. One can send a very long message more quickly from England to Australia, for example, than from ones house to someone in the garden. Computers are not only used for writing; they can produce diagrams an
41、d pictures, and they can be used for playing games. One now sees them at airports and railway stations, in hotels and restaurants, in fact, almost everywhere where people gather.46.

42、inesB. at least as important as that of the steam and petrol enginesC. less important than that of the steam and petrol enginesD. far more important than that of the steam and petrol engines47. According to the author the disadvantage of using paper to keep and send information is tha_A. it is hard
