When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry. Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted. People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distances as people with two eyes.
41. We should take good care of our eyes .
A. only when we can see well
B. only when we cannot see perfectly
C. even if we can see well
D. only when we realize how important our eyes are
42.When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably .
A. near-sighted B. far-sighted C. astigmatic D. suffering from cataracts
43. The underlined word blurry in the second paragraph probably means .
A. obvious B. possible C. clear D. unclear
44. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for .
A. seeing at night B. seeing objects far away
C. looking over a wide area D. judging distances
45. People who suffer from astigmatism have .
A. one eye bigger than the other
B. eyes that are not exactly the right shape
C. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operation
D. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses

Four American college students learned last week that free music downloads can carry a hidden price tag --- US $ 12,000 to $ 17,500, to be exact.
Major record companies accused the students of fueling music piracy(盗版) by running file-sharing networks on campus allowing hundreds of songs to be downloaded for free.
Last Thursday, the four promised not to violate the companies’ copyrights. Although they did not admit any wrongdoing, they each agreed to pay thousands of dollars to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
“I don’t believe that I did anything wrong,” said Daniel Peng at Princeton University, one of the four. “I hope that for the sake of artists, the larger issues can soon be resolved.” None appears to have made any money off the file-sharing systems they operated, which were confined to their campus’s computer networks.
The payments mark the first time record companies have recovered money from individuals in the US accused of piracy on file-sharing networks. This may be a sign of things to come, as the industry starts taking its battle against online piracy directly to users.
Many record-company executives blame the long slump in CD sales on file-sharing networks, which let users copy songs from each other’s computers for free.
Matt Oppenheim, senior vice president of business and legal affairs for the RIAA, said the settlements, although well below what the companies could have asked for, were “the right amount” given the situation.
He also noted that since the four lawsuits were filed, at least 18 campus file-sharing networks have been taken down by their operators.
46. What does “a hidden price tag” (Paragraph 1) mean?
A. Record companies intentionally hide the high price of the music.
B. It happens that the music price tag isn’t obvious.
C. One has to pay for having downloaded music freely at last.
D. One has to pay for the music in the future even if it’s allowed to be downloaded freely now.
47. Which of the following is true?
A. The four students planned to violate the company’s copyright.
B. They realized they had done a wrong thing.
C. They refused to pay money to RIAA.
D. They didn’t make any money on file-sharing networks.
48. What’s the probable meaning of “slump” (Paragraph 6)
A. Decline. B. Increase. C. Keeping the same. D. Jump.
49. What can we conclude from paragraph 6?
A. Slump in CD sales is caused by the fact that people can copy songs free of charge on file-sharing networks.
B. Many record-company executives should bear the blame for long slump in CD sales.
C. People have no desire to buy any CD.
D. Nowadays CDs are not as popular as before.
50. What’s the main idea of the whole passage?
A. The students should be responsible for their behavior.
B. It’s too late for record companies to protect their rights.
C. Record companies have taken action to protect their copyrights by accusing individuals of piracy on file-sharing networks.
D. Some record companies wanted to earn money by accusing people of pirating music.

The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go to college, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.
But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis, college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out --- often encouraged by college administrators.
Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves --- they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that’s condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year olds, either.
Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those survey and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, and quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy(异端) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good more has to be better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.
51. According to the passage, the author believes that _________.
A. people used to question the value of college education
B. people used to have full confidence in higher education
C. all high school graduates went to college
D. very few high school graduates chose to go to college
52. In the 2nd paragraph, “those who don’t fit the pattern” refers to _________.
A. high school graduates who aren’t suitable for college education
B. college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxis
C. college students who aren’t any better for their higher education
D. high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college
53. The drop-out rate of college students seems to go up because __________.
A. young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching at college
B. many young people are required to join the army
C. young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher education
D. young people don’t like the intense competition for admission to graduate school
54. According to the passage the problem of college education partly arises from the fact that __________.
A. society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained college students
B. high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education
C. too many students have to earn their own living
D. college administrators encourage students to drop out
55. In this passage the author argues that __________
A. more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for all high school graduates
B. college education is not enough if one wants to be successful
C. college education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious and quick-learning people
D. intelligent people may learn quicker if they don’t go to college
