couldn’t move. What was the 36 was he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of 37 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to 38 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 39 of the rescue.

It is almost 40 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 41 : “First of all I checked up my 42 conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no 43 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 44 . In this way I dozed（打盹）off. ”

In October 1961 at Crowley Field in Cincinnati Ohio an old deaf gentleman named William E. Hoy stood up to throw the first ball of the World Series. Most people at Crowley Field on that day probably did not remember Hoy because he had retired（退休）from professional baseball 58 years earlier in 1903. However，he had been an outstanding player and the deaf people still talk about him and his years in baseball.

William E. Hoy was born in Houckstown Ohio on May 23, 1862. He became deaf when he was two years old. He attended the Columbus Ohio School for the deaf. After graduation he started playing baseball while working as a shoemaker.

Hoy began playing professional baseball in 1886 for Oshkosh（Wisconsin）of the Northwestern League. In 1888 he started as an outfielder（外场手）with the old Washington Senators. His small figure and speed made him an outstanding base runner. He was very good at stealing bases during his career. In the 1888 major league season he stole 82 bases. He was also the Senators’ leading hitter in 1888. Hoy was clever and he threw right-handed and batted left-handed. On June 19,1889, he threw out three batters（击球手）at the plate from his outfield position.

The arm signals used by judges today to show balls and strikes began because of Hoy. The judge lifted his right arm to show that the pitch was a strike and his left arm to signal that it was a ball.

For many years people talked about Hoy’s last ball game in 1903. He was playing for Los

Angeles of the Pacific Coast Winter League. It was a memorable game because Hoy hit a wonderful ball which won the game. It was a very foggy day and therefore very hard to see the ball. In the ninth inning（棒球的一局）with two men out, Hoy managed to catch a fly ball to make the third out in spite of the fog. Los Angeles defeated their opposition and won the game.

After he retired, Hoy stayed busy. He ran a dairy farm near Cincinnati for 20 years. He also became a public speaker and traveled giving speeches. Until a few years before his death, he took 4—10 mile walks several mornings a week. On December 15, 1961 William Hoy died at the age of 99.

56. In which order did the following things happen in Hoy’s life? a. Hoy worked as a shoemaker. b. Hoy began to run a diary farm.

c. Hoy played a memorable game in the heavy fog. d. Hoy threw the first ball of the World Series. e. Hoy became deaf. A. d, e, a, c, b

B. e, a, c, b, d

C. d, a, e, c, b

D. e, a, b, c, d

57. We can infer from the last paragraph that Hoy in his late years. A. became famous

B. led a relaxed life

D. was in good physical condition

C. traveled around the world

58. This passage is mainly about . A. a deaf player devoted to the game of baseball B. baseball game rules and important players C. the rise in the social position of the deaf people D. where the baseball judge hand signals came from 59. What can be inferred from this passage? A. Hoy was the greatest baseball player in his time.

A senior United Nations Children’s Fund（UNICEF）official on May 29 praised China for its

remarkable achievements in children’s welfare（福利）.

A. H. M. Farook, UNICEEF’s operations area officer for China and Mongolia said that China “can be very satisfied to tell the whole world what can be done with limited resources to help its children to grow healthily and happily.”

China’s child population makes up one-fifth of the world’s total. “The reason behind the tremendous（巨大的）achievement is China’s long tradition of caring for children both at home and in society,” he said.

“What’s more is that Chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need.” The UN official made the remarks when addressing a group of 50 children and staff from the Beijing Children’s Welfare Home at the Shangrila Hotel, Beijing.

The hotel invited the orphans to share snacks（小吃）, sing, dance and play games at a park inside the hotel for a “Share the Sunshine” party, as a prelude（前奏）to celebrations to mark the Children’s Day.

The Beijing children’s Welfare Home, set up soon after New China was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children.

A leading official of the welfare institution said that the children live a happy life and that the agency（机构）spends 400—500 yuan a month for an average orphan. An average Chinese workers earned 440 yuan a month during the first quarter this year.

Gu Xiaojin, deputy secretary-general of the China Youth Development Foundation（CYDF）, said people from all walks of life have contributed to the welfare of the Chinese children.

She said that CYDF set up the Project Hope in 1989, which calls on people across the country to donate money to help poor children to continue their schooling.

By the end of last year, she said, CYDF had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment（建立）of 2,074 Hope primary schools and enabled more than 1. 25 million dropouts to return to school classrooms.

Three “Hope Stars” also attended the party. They were model teenagers chosen among students who are economically supported by the Project Hope to further their nine-year compulsory（义务）studies in the poverty-stricken regions. They will be torchbearers（火炬接力者）for the Chinese Team for the up coming Atlanta Olympic Games this year.

Over 2,400,000 yuan D. 2,200,000 yuan or so 62. CYDF collected 700 million yuan with the purpose of . A. reducing dropouts B. helping homeless orphans

C. supporting the Chinese Team for the coming Atlanta Olympic Games D. establishing 2,074 Hope primary schools all over the country 63. We can infer from the text that .

When you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally, before saying anything by making gestures. According to a pioneer in nonverbal（无需语言的）communication, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don’t know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.

In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I’ve heard you”.

In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone’s life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right”. However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.

In the United States, raising your clasped hands above your head means “I’m the champion” or “I’m the winner”. It is the sign prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.

In the United States, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger in a circle and the other three fingers spread out means “Everything is OK. ” And is frequently used by astronauts and politicians. In France and Belgium, it can mean “You’re worth nothing. ”

There are other nonverbal signals that that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans usually feel comfortable when speaking with someone if the distance between them is about eighteen inches to arm’s length. Anything closer makes them feel uncomfortable.

When talking to Americans, it is also important to make eye contact. If you look down when talking to an American, he/she may feel that you are embarrassed, afraid, or trying to hide

something.

In addition to knowing how to communicate nonverbally in a country, it is important to know what you and he cannot discuss. In the United States, there are certain topics to avoid when you first meet someone. For example, don’t ask people their age, weight, religion, marital status, how much money they earn, or how much something costs. You can talk about work, the weather, traffic problems, sports, food, new, of the day, where one lives, consumer subjects（computers, car repairs, and so forth）, and travel or vacation plans.

These few examples illustrate that your actions can speak louder than your words. In a particular cultural contest, what you say and what you don’t say are equally important.

68. Which of the following is true?

A. People all over the world only communicate verbally. B. Most of our gestures have no meaning at all.

C. Some people think that 65 to 70 percent of our communication is nonverbal. D. Gestures are the most common way to communicate.

69. Please paraphrase the clause “… your actions can speak louder than your words”. A. Your deeds are better than your words. B. What you do is better than what you say. C. You try to show your best manners.

D. You are better understood by your gestures than through your words.

70. The main idea of the passage is that when you are in another country, . A. it is unimportant to know the language

B. it is important to know what you can talk about to a foreigner

C. to know how to communicate nonverbally is as important as to know the language D. to communicate the rough gestures is more important than to know the language

Directions: Using the information in the passage, complete the table below. Write only word for each answer.

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though,

loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.

The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situation—for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.

The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic（the opposite of “temporary”）usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.

Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, for example, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. we depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.

Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease, while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

Recently a survey entitled “Should museums be free to the public?” was conducted to find out people’s attitudes towards this question.

Opinions are found to vary.

67.9% of the people surveyed believe that museums should be free to the public as they are important places for both education and entertainment. They say that free museum entrance will attract more visitors, which will no doubt contribute to promoting knowledge and culture. The more museums open their doors to the public for free, the more people they will benefit.

14.9% hold the opinion that museums should only be free for certain special groups, such as students, soldiers and the disabled. Besides, the times that entrance is provided free for the groups should be strictly regulated.

However, 17.2% believe that, to keep the museums functioning well, museums should charge visitors an entrance fee. In addition, to attract more visitors, museums, should try to figure out visitors’ expectations and offer better service instead of free entrance.
