56. According to Jon Ronson, the writer of the book, psychopaths are very charming, smart, easily bored and cruel. In the book, Ronson takes readers into the fascinating world of psychopaths by speaking to the experts and having amusing conversations with the psychopaths themselves.

57. This book is about a deeply funny story, as well as a deeply sad story — the great Nineties moment when a bunch of punk rock bands from Seattle accidentally blew up into the world’s biggest noise. The author gives the unique chronicle of how it all happened, and how it ended too soon. The book also makes readers appreciate how strange it was.

58. This is just one of the terrifying everyday tales of the body trade documented. It started out extremely well, with some fascinating stories about the trade in human body parts. It covers many different aspects of the “red market”, ranging from skeletons to blood, and even the giant business of collecting and selling human hair.

59. It’s been reported that the author has often attracted as much attention as his cars. The book is partly a biography covering a very short portion of the author’s own life — his second stint at General Motor（GM）— which recently ended after about a decade. However, it’s more than a biography. It is also a view on what went wrong with the US car industry and US industry in general.

60. This is a great book for anyone who has an interest in science, or wants to see advances in medicine at greater rates that we’ve seen them so far. If a reader has teenagers with interests in science, he should have them read this book. It will inspire them to broaden their horizons beyond the typical research lab.

Audrey Hepburn (奧黛麗·赫本) won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.

Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’ s father was British and her mother was Dutch.

Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasn’ t going to be a ballerina（芭蕾舞女演員）. So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.

But it was Audrey Hepburn’ s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.

Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.

She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Children’ s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF （聯(lián)合國兒童基金會） projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.

Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War Ⅱ. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.

51．In Paragraph 1, “her aid work”means __________.

Is it worth it to go to college? This has been questioned a lot recently in America. According to a new survey released by the Pew Research Center, only 40 percent of Americans felt that colleges provided a good value for the cost. At the same time, 86 percent of college graduates still felt it was good for them.

There are a number of reasons for such dissatisfaction with college. First, there are plenty of problems with higher education — poor quality and out-of-control costs are two of the biggest. Second, it is true that college is not for everyone. Plenty of rewarding and important careers do not require college. And due to the slow economy, there may in fact be more graduates than the current job market needs. Besides, anti-college feelings are nothing new. Today, Microsoft’s Bill Gates or Apple’s Steve Jobs — both college dropouts — is often held up as evidence of why all that time sitting in class is better spent elsewhere.

However, getting a college education is still a good idea. College graduates earn more, and are more likely to have a job in the first place. According to the statistics last year, the average weekly earnings for someone with some college education but no degrees were $712, compared to $1,038 for a college graduate. That is almost $17,000 over the course of a year and there is an even bigger divide for those with less education. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate was 9.2 percent for those with only some college education and more than 10 percent for those with just a middle school degree, but it was 5.4 percent for college graduates. The economic gaps between college completers and those with less education are getting larger.

Although most Americans surveyed by Pew feel doubtful about the value of a college degree, an overwhelming majority of parents Pew surveyed still expect their children to go to college. “It can be inferred that the increased doubt has not significantly influenced decision making.” Pew’s Taylor says, “Despite the concern about rising costs and other problems, college remains a universal desire in this country.”

46. Recently many Americans question __________.

A. the value of receiving college education　 　 B. the ability of college graduates

C. the quality of college education　　　　 　 D. the high cost of a college degree

47. According to the passage, Bill Gates was __________.

A. a self-taught college student　　　　　 　　　　　 B. a hardworking undergraduate

C. a successful college dropout　　 　　　　　　　　 D. a unsuccessful college graduate

48. The writer seems to agree that __________.

A. there is no need to go to college

B. anti-college feelings are a new thing

C. college cannot guarantee employment

D. college education remains a wise choice

49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The slow economy might result in more unemployment.

B. Most college graduates feel it necessary to receive college education

C. People’s earnings depend on their educational background to some extent.

D. As doubts about college education arise, people’s desire to go to college weakens.

50. What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Poor quality and high costs make college less popular among the Americans nowadays.

B. Despite the dissatisfactions with college, most Americans still favor college education

C. People with a college degree earn better money in America than those who don’t

D. American students are getting tired of college education.

　 The report came to the British on May 21, 1941. The German battleship Bismarck, the most powerful warship in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England.

　 The British had feared such a task. No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower. The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns. She could move at 30 nautical miles (海里) an hour. She was believed to be unsinkable.

　 However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck. On May 24, the Hood found the Bismarck.

　 It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see. His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships.

　 The battle didn’t last long. The Bismarck’s first torpedo (魚雷) hit the Hood, which went down taking all but three of her 1419 men with her.

　 But in the fight, the Bismarck was slightly damaged (損壞). Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the Germans. The British force followed her. However, because of the Bismarck’s speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.

　 For two days, every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck, but with no success. Finally, she was sighted by a plane from Ireland. Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her, the British fired at her from the air. The Bismarck was hit.

On the morning of May 27, the last battle was fought. Four British ships fired on the Bismarck, and she was finally sunk.

Having returned from her round trip (往返旅程), the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me ?12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ?12.”

Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”

The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”

　　“Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”

“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can't swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”

“I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”

“Er, well…” the woman looked at the child. “I mean...she hasn't started school yet. She’s only four.”

“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…let me see…?13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe ?1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”
