His ignorance was as remarkable as his knowledge. Of contemporary literature, philosophy and politics he appeared to know next to nothing. Upon my quoting Thomas Carlyle, he inquired in the naivest way who he might be and what he had done. My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar system.

  “You appear to be astonished, ” Holmes said, smiling at my expression. “Now that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it. You see, I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose: A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hand upon it. It is a mistake to think that the little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it, there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you know before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”

  “But the Solar System! ” I protested.

  “What the deuce is it to me?” he interrupted impatiently.

  One morning, I picked up a magazine from the table and attempted to while away the time with it, while my companion munched silently at his toast. One of the articles had a pencil mark at the heading, and I naturally began to run my eye through it.

  Its somewhat ambitious title was “The Book of Life, ” and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixture of shrewdness and of absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deduction appeared to me to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer claimed by a momentary expression, a twitch of a muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom a man’s inmost thought. Deceit, according to him, was impossibility in the case of one trained to observation and analysis. His conclusions were as infallible as so many propositions of Euclid. So startling would his results appear to the uninitiated that until they learned the processes by which he had arrived at them they might well consider him as a necromancer.

  “From a drop of water, ”said the writer, “a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it. ”

  This smartly written piece of theory I could not accept until a succession of evidences justified it.

 

1. What is the author’s attitude toward Holmes?

[A]Praising.

[B]Critical.

[C]Ironical.

[D]Distaste.

2. What way did the author take to stick out Holmes’ uniqueness?

[A]By deduction.

[B]By explanation.

[C]By contrast.

[D]By analysis.

3. What was the Holmes’ idea about knowledge-learning?

[A]Learning what every body learned.

[B]Learning what was useful to you.

[C]Learning whatever you came across.

[D]Learning what was different to you.

4. What did the article mentioned in the passage talk about?

[A]One may master the way of reasoning through observation.

[B]One may become rather critical through observation and analysis.

[C]One may become rather sharp through observation and analysis.

[D]One may become practical through observation and analysis.

From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car ! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.

It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-years-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.

The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy tragic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.

It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person’s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be mad much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as to severe if tit results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.

 

1.The main idea of this passage is

[A] Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.

Thousands of people the world over are killed each year.

[C] The laws of some countries about driving are too lax.

[D] Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.

2.What does the author think of society toward motorists?

[A] Society smiles on the motorists.

Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.

[C] Victims of accidents are nothing.

[D] Society condones their rude driving.

3.Why does the author say:’ his car becomes the extension of his personality?’

[A] Driving can show his real self.

Driving can show the other part of his personality.

[C] Driving can bring out his character.

[D] His car embodies his temper.

4..Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?

[A] Build more highways.

Stricter driving tests.

[C] Test drivers every three years.

[D] raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.

5..The attitude of the author is

[A] ironical

critical

[C] appealing

[D] militant

Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血壓) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.

Any owner will tall you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (緊張) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算術(shù)) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did

It best .Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned

Most quickly to baseline heart rates .With pets in the room ,people also made fewer math mistakes

Than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more released (放松)around

Pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.

A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwesterm Memorial Hospital spent a

Year studying 36 fat people and were put on a diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of

56 fat people without pets were put on a diet program. On averagepeople lost about 11 pounds,

Or 5% of their body weight .Their dogs did even better,losing an average of 12 pounds,more then

15%of their body weight .Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs but ,say

Researchers,got more exercise overall –mostly with their dogs –and found it worth doing.

1. What does the text mainly discuss?

AWhat pets bring to their owners

BHow pets help people calm down

Cpeople’s opinions of keeping pets

DPet’s value in medical research

2.We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if

____________

Ahe has a pet companion

Bhe has less stress of work

Che often dose mental arithmetic

Dhe is taken care of by his family

3.According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?

AThey have lower blood pressure.

BThey become more patient.

CThey are less nervous.

DThey are in higher spirits.

4. The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that

Apeople with dogs did more exercise

Bdogs lost the same weight as people did

Cdogs liked exercise much more than people did

Dpeople without dogs found the program unhelpful

Mark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel.And he surely deserves additional praisethe man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.

I say clever because anti?slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War.H.B.Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin is only the most famous example.These early stories dealt directly with slavery.With minor exceptionsTwain planted his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely.He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.

Again and again,in the postwar years,Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race.Consider the most controversial,at least today,of Twain’s novels,Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry FinnTwain’s most widely read tale.Once upon a time,people hated the book because it struck them as rude.Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel“trash and suitable only for the slums(貧民窟)”More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim,the escaped slave,and many occurrences of the word nigger.(The term Nigger Jim,for which the novel is often severely criticizednever appears in it.)

But the attacks were and are silly—and miss the point.The novel is strongly anti?slavery.Jim’s search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic.As JChadwick has pointed out,the character of Jim was a first in American fiction—a recognition that the slave had two personalities“the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individualJim,the father and the man.”

There is much more.Twain’s mystery novel Pudd’nhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day.Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior (低等的) to whites,especially in intelligenceTwain’s tale centered in part around two babies switched at birth.A slave gave birth to her master’s baby and,for fear that the child should be sold Southswitched him for the master’s baby by his wife.The slave’s light?skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave?holding class.The master’s wife’s baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.

The point was difficult to missnurture (養(yǎng)育),not nature,was the key to social status.The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudice—manner of speechfor example—were,to Twain,indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.

Twain’s racial tone was not perfect.One is left uneasyfor example,by the lengthy passage in his autobiography (自傳) about how much he loved what were called“nigger shows”in his youth—mostly with white men performing in black?face—and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them.Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality.His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.

Was Twain a racist? Asking the questioning the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln.If we read the words and attitudes of the past through the“wisdom”of the considered moral judgments of the presentwe will find nothing but error.Lincoln,who believed the black man the inferior of the whitefought and won a war to free him.And Twain,raised in a slave statebriefly a soldier,and inventor of Jimmay have done more to anger the nation over racial injustice and awaken its collective conscience than any other novelist in the past century.

1.How do Twain’s novels on slavery differ from Stowe’s?

ATwain was more willing to deal with racism.

BTwain’s attack on racism was much less open.

CTwain’s themes seemed to agree with plots.

DTwain was openly concerned with racism.

2.Recent criticism of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn arose partly from its________.

Atarget readers at the bottom

Banti?slavery attitude

Crather impolite language

Dfrequent use of“nigger”

3.What best proves Twain’s anti?slavery stand according to the author?

AJim’s search for his family was described in detail.

BThe slave’s voice was first heard in American novels.

CJim grew up into a man and a father in the white culture.

DTwain suspected that the slaves were less intelligent.

4.The story of two babies switched mainly indicates that________.

Aslaves were forced to give up their babies to their masters

Bslaves’ babies could pick up slave?holders’ way of speaking

Cblacks’social position was shaped by how they were brought up

Dblacks were born with certain features of prejudice

5.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 7 refer to?

AThe attacks.

BSlavery and prejudice.

CWhite men.

DThe shows.

6.What does the author mainly argue for?

ATwain had done more than his contemporary writers to attack racism.

BTwain was an admirable figure comparable to Abraham Lincoln.

CTwain’s works had been banned on unreasonable grounds.

DTwain’s works should be read from a historical point of view.
