第1题,1.??<font face="Arial">If we were asked exactly what we were
doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not
remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it and
account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer
to the question. <br /> It is the same in history.
Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written
account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most
important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by
fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at
all because the people of that time and place did not know how to
write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived
in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written
records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing
about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa,
because they had not learned to write. <br />
Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know
something of the past. They have heard about it from older people,
and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most
important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told
for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their
fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered
history”. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so
exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are
much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than
when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such
spoken stories are often very helpful. <br /></font>
A. <font face="Arial">“Remembered history”, compared
with written history, is less reliable. </font>
B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our
learning of the human history. <br />
C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to
answer many questions. <br />
D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.
A. <font face="Arial"> there was nothing worth being written
down at that time</font>
B. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record<br
/>
C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire<br />
D. the people there did not know how to write
A. <font face="Arial">history based on a person’s
imagination</font>
B. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to
mouth<br />
C. songs and dances about the most important events<br />
D. both B and C
A. <font face="Arial">it is written down </font>
B. no written account is available<br />
C. it proves to be true
D. people are interested in it
A. <font face="Arial">kept a written record of every past
event</font>
B. not burnt their written records in wars<br />

第2题,2.??<font face="Arial">April Fool’s Day is traditionally a
day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fool’s
errands(差事), and fool the unsuspecting. No one knows how this
holiday began but it was thought to have originated in France. The
closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of
this tradition was in 1582, in France. New Year was celebrated on
March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st. When New
Year’s Day as changed from March 25 to January 1st in the
mid-1560’s by King Charles IX, there were some people who
still celebrated it on April 1st and those people were called April
Fools.<br />Tricks performed on April Fool’s Day range from
the simple to the elaborate. Setting a roommate’s alarm clock
back an hour is common. The news media even gets involved. For
instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool’s Day
was a fairly detailed documentary about “spaghetti
farmers” and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti
trees. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling
to his victim, “April Fool!” April Fool’s Day is a
“for-fun-only” observance. Nobody is expected to buy
gifts or to take their “significant other” out to eat in
a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It’s
simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain
forever vigilant(警惕的), for he may be the next April Fool! <br />Each
country celebrates April Fool’s differently. In France, the
April Fool’s is called “April Fish”. The French
fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends’
backs. In England, tricks can be played only in the morning. If a
trick is played on you, you are a “noodle”. </font>
A. <font face="Arial">England </font>
B. America
C. France
D. Rome
A. <font face="Arial">April Fool’s Day </font>
B. New Year’s Day
C. New Year’s Eve
D. a regular day
A. Calling victims of tricks April Fools.
B. <font face="Arial">Playing tricks on somebody.</font>
C. Eating out with their family.
D. Celebrating this day just for fun.
A. <font face="Arial">be on guard</font>
B. feel annoyed
C. feel scared
D. be at their best
A. <font face="Arial">those who are mentally slow are called April
Fools </font>
B. people have been celebrating April Fool’s Day for well
over five centuries
C. the celebration of April Fool’s Day is more or less the
same.
D. the celebration of April Fool’s Day varies from country to
country

第3题,3.??<font face="Arial">Why was Bastille important to the
citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in
1370 under Charles V. By the seventeenth century it had stopped to
be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a
prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its
huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille's
workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles.
Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No
talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would
be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King's letter
could set him free.<br />Over the years the number of arrests by
King's letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the
prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions
(贪污腐败)of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a
year there in 1717-1718, and another 12 days in 1726.<br />For those
who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood
for everything evil. The day it was captured, only seven prisoners
were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people. It
was a symbol of the King's complete power.<br /></font>
A. <font face="Arial">since the time of Charles V</font>
B. since 1370<br />

himself suddenly in the Bastille.<br /></font>

outside.<br />

A. <font face="Arial">a large number of prisoners</font>
B. a lot of writers who had been against the government<br />
C. some dozens of people who believed in free speech and free
thinking<br />
D. only a few prisoners
A. <font face="Arial"> All prisoners in the Bastille had to
stay there for life.</font>
B. Over the years the number of prisoners in the Bastille was

body systems continue to change. At a certain point in your life
your body systems will begin to weaken. Your strength may become
weaker. It may become more difficult for you to see and hear. The

life to be the best time for living. Physical activity may become
less, but often you get better understanding of yourself and the
