Biggest power failure in the citys history . *Thousands of people got stuck in lifts . Martin Saltzman spent three hours between the 21st and 22nd floors of the Empire State Building . There were twelve of us . But no one panicked . We passed the time telling stories and playing word games . One man wanted to smoke but we didnt let him . Firemen finally got us out.* It was the best night weve ever had., said Angela Carraro . who runs an ltalian restaurant on 42nd Street . We had lots candles on the tables and the waiters were carrying candles on their trays . The place was full and all night , in fact , for after we had closed , we let the people stay on and spend the night here.* The zoos had their problems like everyone else . Keepers worked through the right . They used blankets to keep flying squirrels and small monkeys warm . While zoos had problems keeping warm , supermarkets had problems keeping cool . All of our ice cream and frozen foods melted, said the manger of a store in downtown Manhattan . They were worth $50,0000.* The big electric clock in the lobby(大厅) of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in downtown Manhattan started(滴答) again at 5：25 this morning . It was almost on time.51.Throughout the period of darkness , Martin Saltzman and the eleven others were _.A.nervous B.excited C.calm D.frightened52.In what way was the night of November 9 the best night for Angela Carraro ?A.She had a taste of adventure.B.Burning candles brightened the place.C.Business was better than usual.D.Many people stayed the night in her restaurant.53.How long did the power failure last?A.Nearly 12 hours. B.More than 12 hours.C.Nearly 24 hours. D.More than 24 hours.BThe easy way out isnt always easiest . I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug , my husband of one month , to a special meal . I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade break . Knowing the bread would take time , I started on it as soon as Doug left for work . As I was not experienced in cooking , I thought if a dozen was good , two dozen would be better , so I doubled everything . As Dong loved oranges , I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl . Soon there was a sticky dough(面团)covered with ugly yellowish marks . realizing I had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldnt have to face Doug laughing at my work , I went on preparing the rest of the meal , and , when Doug got home , we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice . He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed . Twice he got up and went outside , saying he thought he heard a noise . The third time he left , I went to the windows to see what he was doing . Looking out , I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin , holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container . When I came out of the house , he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin . Picking up the stick again , he held the lid up enough for me to see . I felt cold . But I stepped closer and looked harder . Without doubt it was my work . The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing . I had to admit what the living thing was and why it was there . I dont know who was more embarrassed(尴尬)by the whole thing Doug or me.54.The writers purpose in writing this story is _A.to tell an interesting experienceB.to show the easiest way out of a difficultyC.to describe the trouble facing a newly married womanD.to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books55.Why did the womans attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?A.The canned orange had gone bad.B.She didnt use the right kind of flour.C.The cookbook was hard to understand.D.She did not follow the directions closely.56.Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin?A.She didnt see the use of keeping itB.She meant to joke with her husband.C.She didnt want her husband to see it .D.She hoped it would soon dry in the son.57.What made the dough in the rubbish bin?A.The rising and falling movement.B.The strange-looking marks.C.Its shape.D.Its size.58.When Doug went out the third time , the woman looked out of the window because she was _.A.surprised at his being interested in the binB.afraid that he would discover her secretC.unhappy that he didnt enjoy the mealD.curious to know what disturbed himCDecision-thinking is not unlike it often matters not only what you think , but also what others think you think what you think they think you think . The mental process(过程) is similar . Naturally , this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are , by any standards , good thinkers .The great mathematician John von Neumann was one of the founders of game theory . In particular , he showed that all games fall into two classes ; there are what he called games of perfect information, games like chess where the players cant hide anything or play tricks ; they dont win by chance , but by means of logic and skills . Then there are games of imperfect information, like poker , in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another.One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information . Quite the reverse Business , life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information . Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors(因素), best poker players . But few business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance , and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess , not poker.59.The subject discussed in this text is _.A.the process of reaching decisionsB.the difference between poker and chess.C.the secret of making good business plansD.the value of information in winning games60.An important factor in a game of imperfect information is _.A.rules B.luck C.time D.ideas61.Which of the following can be used in place of Quite the reverse?A.Quite right. B.True enough.C.Most unlikely. D.Just the opposite.62.In the writers opinion , when making business decisions one should _ .A.put perfect information before imperfect informationB.accept the existence of unknown factorsC.regard business as a game of chessD.mix known and unknown factorsDOlaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men . in which he looked millions of years ahead . He told of different men and of strange civilisations(文明), broken up by long dark ages in between . In his view , what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men . In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.However , most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted . Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years . But the next hundred ? The next thousand? The next million? Thats much more difficult.When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago , how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now , we may seem as primitive(原始的)in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us . Perhaps through the cribe , These words , which I have just made up , have to stand for things and ideas that we simply cant think of .So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future ? Here are two reasons . First unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history , we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are . If we make the earth a poor place to live because . we are careless or greedy(贪婪) or quarrelsome . our grand-children will not bother to think of excuses for us.Second , by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future , we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves . For example , if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming , we can think of trying it now . So set you imagination free when you think about the future .63.A particular mention made of Stapledons book in the opening paragraph _A.serves as a
