On Midsummer's Eve，which was a Saturday，Mr. Jones went into Willing ton and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back，he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came，the animals were still not fed. At last，they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands，whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear.Together，though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand，they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures，which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose，frightened them. After only a moment or two，they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.1.The four men did not feed the cows because_.Athey had not cut the hay yetBMr. Jones wasn't at homeCthey did not have time to feed themDthe cows had fed themselves2.The cows broke into the storehouse because_.Athey did not like their mastersBMr. Jones forgot to lock the doorCthey were kept in the cow-house too longDthey were too hungry to wait for the feed3.What did the five men finally do with the cows?AThey chased and drove the cows away.BThey continued beating the cows.CThey gave up defense and ran away.DThey gave ·in and fed the cows.4.We can learn from the passage that_.Athe cows often ran out to look for foodBthe cows often had fights with their mastersCMr. Jones and his men often beat the cowsDMr. Jones and his men often forgot to feed the cowsPassage TwoIt was sunrise on an August morning when the captain and his crew cast their nets some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. As the net was pulled over，the contents poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins！Coins!" The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fisherman's dream：sunken treasure！And not just any treasure，but early American silver dollars that had gone down 210 years earlier.In 1784，at the end of the American Revolutionary War，a heavily armed ship was bound for the port of New Orleans. On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars. Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans，yet not a single one arrived. With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage，historians can only guess at what happened. Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasure-hungry pirates(海盗). Whatever happened，the secret-along with a treasure valued near $100，000,000 in today' s dollars-was sent to a watery grave some 300 feet below the ocean's surface.Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans. Widely used and accepted as payment in the thirteen colonies，the United States government gave them the status of official legal tender. Unfortunately，even though they were struck in large quantities，not many of them survive today. After the Civil War，the government withdrew them from circulation and they were melted down.Due to the historic discovery of this treasure，Gov Mint . com is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time，those authentic silver dollars are priced at $49 plus shipping and handlinga dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.5.What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?ATheir net contained a big strange-looking fish.BThey found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.CThey found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.DTheir net suddenly got caught by something deep in the water.6.What happened to the ship heading for New Orleans in 1784?ALoaded with too much cargo，it hit on the rocks.BRobbed by pirates ，it lost $100,000,000's worth of goods.CIt disappeared but nobody knew exactly what had happened.DIt was caught in a terrible storm and went down into the ocean.7.What do we know about "Spanish Silver Dollars"?AToday one coin equals to 49 dollars in the world market.BThey were widely used in America after the Civil War.CIssued in small amounts，not many of them survive.DThey were officially accepted in the 13 colonies.8.In which section of a magazine would you probably find this article?ASports.BHousing.CHistory.DFashion.Passage ThreeThe environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion，two researchers "decorated" three rooms：One room was refurnished to look ugly. The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful. Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces. Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition，subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room. Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors，listed in order of preference，were blue，green，purple，red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red，orange，yellow，violet，blue，and green.         Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy（密切）that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or classroom，on the other hand，arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration，color，lighting，and even music and temperature all influence communication with others；but there is no all-purpose environment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present. The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.9.Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be_.Aless patientBless considerateCmore enthusiasticDmore confident10.Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?AGreen.BBlue.COrange.DRed.11.Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?AGreen.BBlue.COrange.DRed.12.What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?AArousing active thinking.BImproving work efficiency.CCreating a tense atmosphereDStimulating talks among people.13. The underlined word "serene" in the last sentence is closest in meaning to_.Aserious and graveBcalm and peacefulCpleasant and friendlyDcold and indifferentPassage FourThere is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back in your step. Patients receiving joint implants(移植)often are able to resume many of the physical activities they love，even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking. No wonder，then，that joint replacement is growing in popularity.In the United States in ，surgeons performed about 806，000 hip and knee implants (the joints most commonly replaced)，double the number performed a decade earlier. Though these procedures have become routine，they are not failure free.Implants must sometimes be replaced，said Dr. Henrik Malchau ，an or thopaedic surgeon (矫形外科医生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced within seven and a half years.The percentage may sound low，but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation，said Dr. Malchau. Those patients must endure additional recoveries，often painful，and increased medical expenses.The failure rate should be lower，many experts-agree. Sweden，for instance，has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States. Sweden also has a national joint replacement registry，a database of information from which surgeons can learn how and why certain procedures go wrong. A registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whether a specific type of implant is particularly problematic. "Every country that has developed a registry has been able to reduce failure rates Significantly," said Dr. Daniel Berry，chief of orthopaedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester，Minn.A newly formed American Joint Replace
