My father was a man of some wealth, able to give me a good home and send me to school. It was his wish that I should be a lawyer buy my head began to be filled very early with thoughts of rambling, and I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea. My father gave me strong and earnest counsel against it, but with little effect. One day, being at Hull, I met a school-fellow who was about to sail for London in his father's ship, and he prompted me to go with him, and in an evil hour, without asking God's blessing or my father's, I went on board.On the way to London, a storm arose, the ship was wrecked, and we barely escaped with our lives. I went on foot to London, where I met with the master of a vessel which traded to the coast of Africa. He took a fancy to me, and offered me a chance to go with him on his voyages, which I gladly accepted.A great storm came up, and the ship was tossed about for many days, until we did not know where we were. Suddenly we struck a bank of sand, and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces. In this distress we launched a boat. After we had been driven four or five miles, a raging wave struck us so furiously that it overset the boat at once. Though I swam well the waves were so strong that I was dashed against a rock with such force that it left me senseless. But I recovered a little before the waves returned, and, running forward, got to the mainland safely.1. What did the author want to do when he was young?A. To visit Africa B. To sail the seasC.

The big waves were about to overturn the ship.C. Their ship had been knocked about for may days on the sea.D. Their ship had struck sand and was about to break into pieces.4. When the author got to the mainland, he _.A. searched everywhere for his lost companions.B. fell down on the ground senseless.C. was safe and sound.D. ran forward to escape being washed back into the sea.5. When the author finally arrived on land, he most probably _.A. knew he was in Africa.B. did not know where he was.C. was not aware he was back in England.D. got in touch with his family and asked for help.Passage twoSome people have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simp1e direct answer: “I put out fires” or” “I fix sick peop1e” or” “I teach primary schoo1”. As a theoretica1 physicist, I never had this 1uck . Society has come to expect many things from the physicist. 1t used to be that me on1y bad to discover the basic 1aws of the wor1d and supp1y the techniques that wou1d power the next of things we think we know how to do. What makes us uncomfortab1e-and what makes it hard for us to te11 our kids what we re up to-is that in this century we have become, though unwi11ing1y, gurus on questions such as “what is the nature of Rea1ity (现实) ?” We now deal with a whole new c1ass of prod1ems .We ask how the wor1d began and what is the nature4 of matter. The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person. So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they 1eave a fami1iar wor1d and enter a p1ace where things act in of strange ways that are impossid1e for ordinary peop1e to understand.6.According to the passage, in a way physicists areA. intel1igent B. comfortad1e C. strange D. un1ucky7. Judging from the context, the word: “gurus” in the first paragraph most probab1y means a person.A. who acts as a teacher and answers big questionsB. who gives wrong answers to big questionsC. who does not 1ike to answer big questionsD. who is eager to supp1y answers to big questions8. Which of the fo11owing is true according to what the author says about physicists?A. physicists do not 1ike their job.B. Physicists 1ive in two different wor1ds.C. Physicists are coming up with new answers to o1d questions.D. Physicists dont have to te11 peop1e what they are doing.9. Which of the fo11owing statement is true? A. Theoretica1 physicists on1y have to answer the basic questions about the wor1d.B. Theoretica1 physicists contributed do the new industry on Si1icon Va11ey. C. Theoretoca1 physicists have disappointed the expectations of many peop1e.D. Theoretica1 physicists have found it hard to friends with ordinary peop1e.10. Which of the fo11owing is true shout the job of physicists?A. It is getting more and more difficu1t.B. It is beyond the comprehension of ordinary peop1e.C. A person with average inte11igence can not do it. D. Both A and B. 答案：1.B 2.A 3.D 4.C 5.B 6.D 7.A 8.B 9.B 10.BPassage oneA couple of years ago I spent the day at an elementary school in New Jersey. It was a nice average school, a square and solid building, full of reasonably well-behaved kids from middle-class families. I handled three classes, and by the time I staggered out the door I wanted to lie down for the rest of the day. Teachings the toughest job there is. In his new memoir, “Teacher Man,” Frank McCourt recalls telling his students, “Teaching is harder than working on docks and warehouses. ” Not to mention writing a column. I can stare off into the middle distance with my chin (下巴) in my hand any time. But you go mentally south for five minutes in front of a class of fifth graders, and you are sunk. The average new teacher today makes just under $30,000 a year, which may not look too bad for a twenty-something with no mortgage (抵押贷款) and no kids. But soon enough the new teachers realize that they can make more money and not work anywhere near as hard elsewhere. After a lifetime of hearing the old legends about cushy
