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. 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.    Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, 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.21、 In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _.          Apersonal experience          Bwild weeds among good plants          Cthe information from the parents          Dthe vast store of traditional practices22、 From this passage we can infer that _.          Awe'll invite the craftsman to teach in the college          Bschools and books are not the only way to knowledge          Cscientific discoveries are based on personal experience          Ddiscoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge for a college student23、 The main idea of this passage is about _.          Awhat to learn from the parents          Bhow to gain knowledge          Cwhy to learn from the craftsman          Dhow to deal with experienceText 2Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives. 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 decline millions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed in accidents every day. The annual death rate (年死亡率) from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan.    To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules. Before you drive, learn all the traffic laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun!24、 The underlined word "convenient" in the passage means _.          Ahandy, easy to do          Bthat can be changed          Cfond of drinking and merry-making          Dcarriages or other trucks25、 The sentence "Traffic accidents decline millions of lives" means "_".          ATraffic accidents make some people become millionaires          BMany people die from traffic accidents            CMillions of people say they themselves have had traffic accidents          DMillions of people remain healthy after traffic accidents26、 Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?           ATraffic Safety          BBe Careful          CHow to Drive a Car          DA Traffic AccidentText 3Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations. Later he used sharp bones or horns, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic. In the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also to revolutionize the art and science of surgery.    The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world. As we all know, light is hot, and any source of light will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam.    Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right through the eye-ball. Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable.    The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective.27、 Which of the following would be appropriate to describe the instruments of surgical operations up until 1960s?          ATraditional.                                     BComplicated.          CRemarkable.                                    DRevolutionary.28、 What do we find after the development of the laser in the 1960s?          AIndustrial revolution brought surgery changed greatly.          BMedical help became available for industrial workers.          CThe study of art went through a complete revolution.          DHuman being's methods in surgery changed greatly.29、 The reason why the laser beam is very strong is that _.          Ait is artificially illuminated          Bit is made up of a concentrated beam of light          Cit sends out heat in all directions          Dits heat is increased by the heat of the sun30、 After the use of the laser beam, surgeons can perform operations which _.          Aleave their patients with negative effects          Bcan treat only human eye diseases          Cdo little damage to their patients          Dmake their patients need a long time to recover第二节 补全文章根据短文内容，从短文后的选项后选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。                                Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule    From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money, and time.  31   Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:    1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already?  32      2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread?  33   It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.    3.  34   This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.    Hopefully that gives you a good start.  35   And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!      ATry new things.      BAbility is easily improved.      CMake three or four instead.      DUnderstand your food better.      ECooking is a burden for many people.      FLet cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.      GA little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完型填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。"Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its traditional meaning is used to  36   a temperature that is fairly cool.

You might think, "He's so cool," when you see your  41   footballer.    We all enlarge the meaning of "cool". You can use it  42   many words such as "new" or "amazing". Here's an interesting story.  43   illustrate the usage of the word: A teacher asked her students to  44   the waterfall they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one  45  , "It's so cool. "  46   he thought it was  47   to describe  48   he saw and felt.      49   the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions.  50   "cool", some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is  51   to improve our word strength to maintain some  52  .    As a popular word, "cool" stands for a kind of special  53   that people can accept easily Except "cool", can you think of many words that  54   your life as colorful?
