Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they 38 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 39 and able to take control of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a（n） 40 task, as the professor had said they could bring 41 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 42 each other during the test.
43 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 44 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed 45 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the 46 faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?” 47 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 48 .” But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 50 many things about the 51 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday 52 .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 53 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 54 .”

四、阅读理解（40分）
A
There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket , making you believe that they are worth a try . How ? Packaging (包装)is the silent but persuading salesman .
There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer（消费者）, so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.
Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.
This new consumer response（反应）to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.
56.According to the passage, ______ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy
the product.
A. the pleasing color of the package B. the special taste of the product
C. the strange shape of the package D. the belief in the product
57.If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.
A. bring excitement to the consumers
B. attract the consumers’ attention
C. catch the eye movement of the consumers
D. produce a happy and peaceful feeling
58. “And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence
suggests that consumers today are ________.
A. starting to notice the importance of new food
B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before
C. beginning to like green vegetables
D．paying more attention to their health
59.It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.
A. vegetable dish B. healthy juice C. iced drink D. red vegetable

B
If parents bring up child with the aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make. Generally，the child will understand very well what the parent expects, and will fail .Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
      However, if parents are not unrealities about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well--especially if the parents are very supportive of their child.
      Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music，and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music. Michael’s father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
      Michael’s friend, Winston Chen，however, is  not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age，I used to win every competition I entered.” Winston's father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
 60. The main idea of the passage is _____.

C
Sabine Island，near Greenland, was first discovered by the British geographer Sir Edward Sabine in1823，but an 1869 map showed it was actually a quarter of a mile farther west than its discoverer had mapped．This interested Alfred Wegener，a young geographer working in Greenland in 1910．He thought the error(误差)too great to be explained．
Wegener himself took measurements and found that since 1869 the island had moved another five- eighths of a mile．After checking the position of other Arctic landmasses, he concluded that all of them were drifting(漂移)westward at different speeds．
From this finding，Wegener developed his floating continent theory．He imagined an original super-continent making up the infant(未成年的)earth，finally the mass broke up into several pieces—the present continents. The continents do seem to fit together like pieces of a puzzle, and what’s more, some of the mountain ranges(山脉)of different continents 1ine up rather well，as if the landmasses were at one time connected．However，believable as Wegener’s argument appeared, many
