8、 I’ve just been informed that my daughter’s __________ (行李) had already arrived.

7、She is a __________ (失敗者)as an actress, but a success as a doctor.

6、What will man be like in the future in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant use.  In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.

On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modem life.

But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

62. The passage mainly tells us that          .

    A. man's life will be different in the future

    B. what will man look like in the future

    C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes

    D. human's organs' functions will become weak

63. The change in man's size of forehead will probably be because          .

    A. he makes use only 20% of the brain's capacity

    B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries

    C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time

    D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on

64. What will be true about a human being in the future?

    A. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.

    B. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.

    C. His fingers will grow weaker because he won't have to make use of them.

    D. He will think and feel in a different way.

65. It is implied that          .

   A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.

   B. less use of a bodily organ（器官）may lead to its degeneration（退化）.

   C. human beings hope for a change in the future life.

   D. future life is always predictable.

5、   It is physically impossible for a well-educated, intellectual, or brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts; as physically imposssible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money--- ought to like it and to enjoy the sensation of winning it; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something better than money.

   A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay--- very properly so, and justly grumbles(埋怨) when you keep him ten months without it; but still, his main notion(觀點(diǎn),看法) of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.

   So with doctors. They like fees no doubt--- ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well-educated, the entire object of their lives is not fees. They, on the whole, desire to cure the sick, and --- if they are good doctors , and the choice were fairly put to them--- would rather cure their patient and lose their fee than kill him and get it  . And so with all other brave and rightly trained men; their work is first, their fee second, very important always, but still second.

58. ______ , according to the passage.

   A. Healthy-minded people shouldn’t like money

   B. Healthy-minded people also like money

   C. Nothing is worth more than food

   D. Healthy people can make more money

59. A good soldier’s something, better than money, is______ .

   A. the wish to fight bravely and win battles

   B. the chance to be kept ten months in the army

   C. the complaint about less money

   D. the happiness with enough money

60. What does the word “it” stand for in the last paragraph?________ .

   A. Fee.                                     B. Main object

   C. Choice                                 D. Education

61. The following statements are true EXCEPT________ .

   A. All people don’t make their work the main object of their lives

   B. Money is always very important for all the people

   C. Soldiers and doctors are brave and well-educated

   D. Money is still second for those brave and well-educated

3、   The man sitting opposite Ropert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other. “Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programs.

2、Prices for the Lunar New Year’s eve dinners in 2007, the most important dinner for the Chinese people, will be 5 to 9 percent higher as restaurant reservations boom for the festival, Shanghai Morning Post reported on Thursday.

This year, the Lunar New Year’s eve festival falls on February 17.

The tradition meal, know as nianyefan, is for family reunions in China and to enjoy a homecoming feast, similar to Christmas dinners in the west.

“Agricultural products are more expensive than previous years, and this directly leads to the prices increase of nianyefan,” Xia Xiangqing, a senior official with the Shanghai Restaurants Association, told the newspaper, “Labour and transport also cost more.”

Up till a few years ago, almost every family in the city ate at home or the home of a close relative, with restaurants shutting down for the evening.

However, most families in the city now prefer to head out to a restaurant on that night to save the trouble of cooking and cleaning at home.

In fact, “if you haven’t reserved a table yet, you may be out of luck as most of the city’s restaurants are already booked before the new year,” Xia said.

“In the past, restaurants decided everything,” Xia said. “They sometimes refused to return the customers deposit(定金) if they wanted to cancel their reservation.”

Xia also told the newspaper yesterday that the association is working on some standards for nianyefan to avoid complaints from customers.

46. If the price of dinner in a retaurant is 600 yuan normally, it will be _____ yuan for the Lunar New Year’s eve in 2007 at least.
