（一）、Most great inventors in the capitalist society meet with much opposition to their inventions from the people who place their own interests before those of the people. Big monopolies try to buy inventions and turn them to their own profits. When they fail, they resort to other tricks. Inventors have to overcome thousands of difficulties put in their path before they can see their dreams realized.
When George Stephenson was experimenting with the stream engine, there was much opposition from the Parliament, the newspaper, and landlords. They claimed that the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that hot coals from it would set fire to their houses.
So it was a very difficult matter for George Stephenson to persuade the people that trains could go on smooth rails, could pull carriages and wagons full of people and goods, and that there was no great danger of accidents.
However, he was able to do it, and the first train driven by Stephenson himself showed that the newly invented steam engine was a complete success.
56、The word "those" in the first sentence refers to C、interests
57、Why do big monopolies buy inventions? C、They want to make more money.
58、Which of the following is not the very reason for the opposition to Stephenson's experiment? C、It would waste coal.
59、The word "dream" in the first paragraph refers to B、inventors' plans for invention
60、What is the main idea of this paragraph? D、Oppositions to Stephenson the inventor.
（二）、As a young girl, Elizabeth Barrett (Browning英国作家勃朗宁) ruptured a blood vessel on the lungs which did not heal. The physician consigned her to a milder climate for the winter and she went Devonshire for restoration. Among the members of her family who accompanied her to those healing shores was her eldest brother.For a whole year they lived side by side in affectionate companionship, she all the while being greatly benefited by mild sea breezes of Torquay.
One summer morning her brother went board a small sailboat with two friends for a trip of several hours around the coast. Just as the vessel came in sight of the window where Miss Barrett sat watching, the boat struck a sunken reef; and all who were in it went down and perished in the sea, before assistant could be rendered. None of the bodies were ever found although the whole village, full of sympathy, assembled in search. This was the tragedy which utterly prostrated for some years afterwards the health and soul of Elizabeth Barrett. Somehow she felt that she herself had in some measure been the cause of all this horror, and she suffered accordingly. Her whole being seemed shattered, and a year longer elapsed before, she was able to be more to London. This fatal event, which so saddened her youth gave also a still deeper devotional feeling to hue of sorrow so apparent in many of her earlier pieces.
61、What sort of climate did Elizabeth's doctor prescribe? A、Temperate.
62、How many people were drowned when the boat sank? C、Three
63、How did the tragedy affect Elizabeth? D、It affected her both physically and emotionally.

65、The incident had _____ on her poetry. D、a strong influence

Don't Take the Fun Out of Youth Sports

（一）、Television ,the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound,1. And the word "television" means "seeing far".
Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic (invisible light) waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models.Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become an industry.
The influence of TV on the life of people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black-and -white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.
The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast "live" from all over the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come from outer space. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic "moon walk" to viewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.
56、Television is said to be the modern wonder of electronics, because C、it brings the world into people's own home in sight and sound
57、Television became an industry in D、the 1950s
58、The word "incalculable" means A、very great
59、The development of science and technology made it possible for television programs to D、be telecast in full color
60、The launching of communications satellites made it possible for people to C、watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo
（二）、The seriously depressed person sees himself in a very negative way. He is sure that he is alone and hopeless. He often blames himself for ordinary faults and shortcomings which he exaggerates. He is very discouraged about himself, the world, and his future. He becomes less interested in what is going on around him and doesn't get satisfaction from things he used to enjoy. Fatigue and early morning sleeplessness are quite common. The depressed person may want to sleep more than usual. He may lose his appetite and lose weight, or eat more than normally and gain weight. Another particular sign, seen in women, is crying spells. Many of these spells are short and common.
Depressives share the feeling that they have lost something very important to them, though often this is not really the case. From a feeling of loss, the depressed person progresses to false ideas that he is a loser and will always be a loser, that he must be worthless and perhaps not fit to live. He may even attempt suicide.
So many very depressed people attempt suicide that depressive illness may be con
