There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them . The information from them differs from (不同于) that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理论的) part - the explanations of why things happen - is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的) . But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens , and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (术语). Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional (传统的) practices handed down from father to son , or mother to daughter, of old country customs (习惯), of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age.36.In the last paragraph the phrase this wide, confused wilderness refers to _.A. personal experienceB. wild weeds among good plantsC. the information from the parentsD. the vast store of traditional practices37. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grassB. Craftsmans experience is usually unscientificC. The contemptuous (傲慢的) college students will receive nothing from craftsmenD. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college student38. From this passage we can infer that _.A. well invite the craftsman to teach in the collegeB. schools and books are not the only way to knowledgeC. scientific discoveries late based on personal experienceD. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge for acollege student39. The author advises the college student to _ .A. be contemptuous to the craftsmanB. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific termsC. learn the craftsmans experience by judging it carefullyD. gain the craftsmans experience without rejection40. The main idea of this passage is about _.A . what to learn from the parents B. how to gain knowledgeC. why to learn from craftsman D. how to deal with experienceBWater, water every where.It lasted almost two months , but in August it ended. It left 45 people dead and $10 billion worth of damage in nine states of USA. It was quite a big Mississippi flood ever recorded.In St.Louis, Missouri, 9,000 people were forced to leave their homes while the city was in danger. St. Louis is just downriver from the points where the Missouri and Illinois Rivers flow into the Mississippi. All three rivers were flooding. But the city escaped the worst when levees (堤) broke upriver. A levee is built of river sand and clay(粘土).Eleven miles of flood walls were built in the late 1960s The walls are 18 inches thick and 5 to 22 feet high. They were designed to protect against a 52-foot flood. In St. Louis, water almost reached the top of flood walls. It measured 49.4 feet.41.The flood referred to in the passage _.A. was the heaviest one in the historyB. happened in Missouri and Illinois statesC. happened in less than twenty percent of the states of U.S.A.D. was recorded several times42.

They hoped to get a bottle cap with the winning number on it. In May 1992, the number was announced: 349. Thousands rushed to get their reward with their bottle caps worth a million pesos (about US $ 40,000) each.But Pepsi wouldnt pay. The company said there was a mistake. The numbers on the caps did not include a security code (保险号), so the caps were not really winners. Up to 800,000 bottle caps had the number 349.Pepsi has spent millions of dollars on the problem. The company has paid 54 million pesos to real winners. It also paid 500 pesos for each No.349 cap without the security code.44. Which of the following is not true?A.

It was large, fairly out of date, run ( 经营 ), like its parent company in London, by a group of relatives. Being only a member of the store for a short time, I was in a very fortunate position. The others, particularly the older members of the store, were naturally asked to produce good sales figures. I was more of an observer. If I made a sale, I was pleased, but if I didnt, I would not be blamed. I was really there to observe and learn, and as I had no interest in making a position in the furniture business, I wasnt too diligent (勤奋) about that either.One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity (不安全感) by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers (雇客). Nothing could have been further from the truth, but he demanded that I go to the stockroom (货仓) with him to settle the matter. He was very small and thin, but to my surprise he started dancing about among the carpets and closets working his arms wildly and calling on me to put them up. I couldnt put anything up -I was too busy rolling on a four-foot six - inch spring mattress (弹簧垫子) , helpless with laughter. Finally he saw the joke too, and we went off to the members store for a conciliatory(和解)cup of tea. Several days later, I finally left the store. Thank God!46.

We do it every day to get to work, to school or to friends houses.Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at a red light, a driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the other direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry, and impatient.Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed in accidents every day.
