between the 21st and 22nd floors of the Empire StateBuilding.There were twelve of us.But no one panicked.We passed the time tellingstories and playing word games.One man wanted to smoke but we didnt let him.Firemenfinally got us out.*It was the best night weve ever had.,said Angela Carraro.who runs an ltalian restaurant on 42nd Street.We had lots candles on the tablesand the waiters were carrying candles on their trays.The place was full and allnight,in fact,for after we had closed,we let the people stay on and spend thenight here.*The zoos had their problems like everyone else.Keepers worked throughthe right.They used blankets to keep flying squirrels and small monkeys warm.Whilezoos had problems keeping warm,supermarkets had problems keeping cool.All ofour ice cream and frozen foods melted,said the manger of a store in downtownManhattan.They were worth$50,0000.*The big electric clock in the lobby(大厅)of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in downtown Manhattan started(滴答)again at 5：25 thismorning.It was almost on time.51 Throughout the period of darkness,Martin Saltzmanand the eleven others were _.A nervous B excited C calm D frightened52 Inwhat way was the night of November 9 the best night for Angela Carraro?AShe hada taste of adventure.BBurning candles brightened the place.CBusiness was betterthan usual.DMany people stayed the night in her restaurant.53 How long did thepower failure last?A Nearly 12 hours.B More than 12 hours.C Nearly 24 hours.D Morethan 24 hours.BThe easy way out isnt always easiest.I learned that lesson whenI decided to treat Doug,my husband of one month,to a special meal.I glancedthrough my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade break.Knowing the breadwould take time,I started on it as soon as Doug left for work.As I was not experiencedin cooking,I thought if a dozen was good,two dozen would be better,so I doubledeverything.As Dongloved oranges,I alsoopened a can of orange and poured it allinto the bowl.Soon there was a sticky dough(面团)covered with ugly yellowish marks.realizing I had been defeated,I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldnthave to face Doug laughing at my work,I went on preparing the rest of the meal,and,when Doug got home,we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice.He tried toenjoy the meal but seemed disturbed.Twice he got up and went outside,saying hethought he heard a noise.The third time he left,I went to the windows to see whathe was doing.Looking out,I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbishbin,holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container.When I cameout of the house,he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alivein out rubbish bin.Picking up the stick again,he held the lid up enough for meto see.I felt cold.But I stepped closer and looked harder.Withoutdoubt it wasmy work.The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast(酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing.I had to admitwhat the living thingwas and why it was there.I dont know who was moreembarrassed(尴尬)by the whole thing Doug or me.54 The writers purpose in writingthis story is _Ato tell an interesting experienceBto show the easiestway out of a difficultyCto describe the trouble facing a newly married womanDtoexplain the difficulty of learning to cook from books55Why did the womans attemptat making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?A The canned orange had gone bad.B Shedidnt use the right kind of flour.CThe cookbook was hard to understand.DShe didnot follow the directions closely.56Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbishbin?AShe didnt see the use of keeping itBShe meant to joke with her husband.CShedidnt want her husband to see it.DShe hoped it would soon dry in the son.57Whatmade the dough in the rubbish bin?AThe rising and falling movement.BThestrange-looking marks.CIts shape.DIts size.58When Doug went out the third time,the woman looked out of the window because she was _.A surprised athis being interested in the binBafraid that he would discover her secretCunhappythat he didnt enjoy the mealDcurious to know what disturbed himCDecision-thinkingis not unlike it often matters not only what you think,but also what others thinkyou think what you think they think you think.The mental process(过程)is similar.Naturally,this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are,by any standards,good thinkers.The great mathematician John von Neumann was oneof the founders of game theory.In particular,he showed that all games fall intotwo classes;there are what he called games of perfect information,games likechess where the players cant hide anything or play tricks;they dont win by chance,but by means of logic and skills.Then there are games of imperfect information,like poker,in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of actionis better than another.One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treatedas a game of perfect information.Quite the reverse Business,life itself are gameswhich we must normally play with very imperfect information.Business decisions areoften made with many unknown and unknowable factors(因素),best poker players.Butfew business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance,andmany still prefer to believe that they are playing chess,not poker.59The subjectdiscussed in this text is _.A the process of reaching decisionsB thedifference between poker and chess.Cthe secret of making good business plansDthevalue of information in winning games60An important factor in a game of imperfectinformation is _.A rules B luck C time D ideas61 Which of the followingcan be used in place of Quite the reverse?AQuite right.B True enough.CMostunlikely.DJust the opposite.62In the writers opinion,when making businessdecisions one should _.A put perfect information before imperfectinformationBaccept the existence of unknown factorsC regard business as a gameof chessDmix known and unknown factorsDOlaf Stapledon wrote a book called Firstand Last Men.in whichhe looked millions of yearsahead.He toldof different menand of strange civilisations(文明),broken up by long dark ages in between.Inhis view,what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human historyand we are just the First Men.In 2,000 million years from now there will be theEighteenth or Last Men.However,most of our ideas about the future are really veryshort-sighted.Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years.Butthenexthundred?Thenextthousand?Thenextmillion?Thats muchmoredifficult.When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago,how could they evenbegin to picture modern life?Yet to men of 50,000 years from now,we may seem asprimitive(原始的)in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us.Perhaps throughthe cribe,These words,which I have just made up,have to stand for things andideas that we simply cant think of.So why bother even to try imagining life farin the future?Here are two reasons.First unless we remember how short our ownlives are compared with the whole human history,we are likely to think our owninterests are much more important than they really are.If we make the earth a poorplace to live because.we are carelessor greedy(贪婪)or quarrelsome.ourgrand-children will not bother to think of excuses for us.Second,by trying to escapefrom present interests and imagine life far in the future,we may arrive at quitefresh ideas that we can use ourselves.For example,if we imagine that in the futuremen may give up farming,we can think of trying it now.So set you imagination freewhen you think about the future.63 A particular mention made of Stapledons bookintheopeningparagraph_A servesasadescriptionofhumanhistoryBserves an introduction to the discussionCshows a disagreement ofviewsD Shows the popularity of the book64The text discusses men and women 50,000years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that _.Ahuman historyis extremely longBlife has changed a great dealC it is useless to plan for thenext 50 yearsD it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future65Spundelsand ballalators are used in the text to refer to _.Atools used in farmingBideas about modern lifeC unknown things in the future D hunting skills in theStone Age66According to the writer of the text,imagining the future will_.Aserve the interests of thepresent and future generationsB enable usto better understand human historyC help us to improve farmingD make life worthlivingEExcused from recycling(回收利用)because you live in a high rise with a rubbishchute(垃圾道)?You wont be for long.Miamis Mark Shantzis has made it simple forthose living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.In Shantzis Hi-RiseRecycling System,a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that canturn around when operated.The system,which fits in the same space as the chuteand container now in use,enables glass,plastic,paper,metal,and other rubbishto go into separate boxes.The system is controlled from a board next to the chutedoor.The board has a button for each class of recycling materials(as well as forunrecyclables).At the press of a button,a microcomputer locks all other floorschute door and setsthe recycling container turninguntil the right box comes underthe chute.The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when theboxisfull.AndaparticularpieceofequipmentbreaksupthenonrecyclablesSorting(分类)recyclables before they are collected saves the use ofexpensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting.Suchequipment often makes recycled materials very expensive,so expensive that tons ofrecyclables remain wasted.Shantzis bel
