Calvin Coolidge, thirtieth president of the United States, was a person who hated gossiping(闲聊);he had no time for small talk. The following two incidents clearly show how Coolidge enjoyed silence.
When he was vice-president, Coolidge had plenty of opportunities to take part in Washington's social life, especially the many dinner parties. Because of his knowing nothing about the art of conversation, he did not exactly endear( 使……受喜欢)himself to his hostesses(女主人). One lady felt she could solve this problem. She placed him next to Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of former President Theodor Roosevelt. Mrs Longworth, an excellent conversationalist, began to chat in her usual charming(媚人的)manner, but all attempts to arouse(引起)interest on the part of the vice president were fruitless. Finally, she said, \"I'm sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must get terribly bored.\"
Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Coolidge answered in a low voice, \"Well, a man has to eat somewhere.\"
Later, when he was president and again at a dinner party, Coolidge was seated next to a most clever society woman, one of those busybodies, who seem to take delight in trying to change the lives of everyone they meet. \"Oh Mr President,\" she said, \"you are always so quiet. I made a bet(打赌)today that I could get more than two words out of you.\" The president became angry and then said, \"You lose.\" 36. Calvin Coolidge was _____.
A. president of the U.S. B. vice-president of the U.S. C. a man of few words
D. all of the above
D. a boring

D. all of the above
38. At one dinner, the hostess placed Calvin Coolidge next to the daughter of former
39. From the story we can see Calvin Coolidge's _______. A. dislike for small talk B. sense of humor C. unskillful at conversation
D. all of the above
40. The underlined word \"busybodies\" in the last paragraph means \"_______\". A. people who take too much interest in the affairs of others B. people who enjoy silence
C. people who just mind their own business D. people who make others angry B
In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and machines are being developed every day to extend(延长)life. However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favour of these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself, and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable(不能忍受的).They say that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严)and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite (明确的)answer.
41. The best title for this passage is _______. A. The Right to Live
B. The Right to Die
C. The Doctor's Duty D. Life Is Better Than Death

43. According to some people whether a dying patient has the right to die or not is up to _______.
A. the doctors B. the surroundings(环境) C. his or her family
D. the patient himself or herself
B. life is better than death
44. In the writer's opinion ________. A. death is better than life

45. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Most of the medical workers join in the argument. B. The argument has ended in favour of the patient. C. The argument hasn't ended yet.

should not be allowed to die under any conditions. C
The humorous story may be told to great length, and may wander around as much as it pleases, and arrive nowhere in particular; but the comic(滑稽)story and the witty(诙谐的)story must be brief and end with a point. The humorous story continues gently along, the other two burst.
The humorous story is strictly a work of art-high and delicate(精美的)art- and only an artist can tell it; but no art is necessary in telling the comic and witty stories; anybody can do it. The art of telling a humorous story-I mean by word of mouth, not print-was created in America, and has remained at home.
The humorous story is told seriously; the teller does his best to hide the fact that he himself even suspects(怀疑)that there is anything funny about it; but the teller of the comic story tells you before hand that it is one of the funniest things he has ever heard, then tells it with eager delight, and is the first person to laugh when he gets through. And sometimes, if he has good success, he is so glad and happy that he will repeat the point of it and glance around from face to face, collecting applause(喝彩),and then repeat it again. 46. Which story takes the longest to tell?
A. The humorous story. B. The witty story. C. The comic story.
D. All three take the same amount of time.
47. Which story has no particular point?
A. The humorous story. B. The witty story. C. The comic story. D. All three. 48. Which of the following statements is true? A. The humorous story was created abroad. B. The humorous story is basically American.
C. The humorous story is also loved in other countries. D. The humorous story is the least popular in the U.S. 49. The teller of a humorous story ________.
A. laughs at his own joke B. repeats it several times
C. is very serious when he tells it D. is concerned about the action of his listeners 50. The teller of a comic story ________. A. tells it only once
B. tells the listener in advance that his story is funny C. doesn't care whether his listeners enjoy it or not D. is very serious when telling it
D
Ever since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier(障碍), communication is carried out through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to make use of this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very clear and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits (= send) ideas or thoughts by certain action, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink(眨眼)can be a way of flirting(传情)or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod means approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic(非语言的)language can be found in Braille(盲文)signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs, guide, warn, and instruct people. While oral speech is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
51. Which of the following best summarizes this passage?
A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication. B. Everybody uses only one form of communication. C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.
D. Although other forms of communication exist, oral speech is the fastest. 52. Which of the following statements is true?
A. There are mainly two forms of communication in existence today. B. Oral speech is the most common form of communication. C. The deaf and mute use an oral form of communication. D. Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted only by body language.
53. Which form other than (= besides) oral speech would be the most commonly used among blind people? A. Picture signs. C. Braille.
B. Body language.
D. Signal flags.
54. How many different forms of communication are mentioned here?
A. Five. B. Seven. C. Nine. D. Eleven.
55. Sign language is said to be very clear and exact and can be used internationally except for _______.
A. spelling B. ideas C. whole words D. expressions

书面表达参考答案: Dear Jane,
One morning not long ago, I went to Beihai Park to skate. It was very cold. The ice was very hard. It was very easy to fall down. I was practicing skating carefully when someone ran into me and I fell down to the ice heavily. I found I couldn't stand up because my right leg was broken.
Quite a few people came up to help me. I was carried to the front gate of the park, and was sent to a hospital by taxi. Now I haven't got well. I'm still lying at home. I can't go to school. I'm worrying very much about my studies. Best wishes to you. Yours Li Hua
