My aunt Edith was a widow(寡妇) of 50, working as a secretary, when doctors discovered she had got what was then thought to be a very serious heart illness.
Aunt Edith doesn’t accept defeat easily. She began studying medical reports in the library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart doctor, Dr Michael Debakey, in Houston, Texas. He had saved the life of someone with the same illness. The article said Dr Debakey’s fees were very high; Aunt Edith couldn’t possibly pay them. But could he tell her of someone whose fees she could pay? So Aunt Edith wrote to him. She simply listed her reasons for wanting to live: her three children, who would be on their own in three or four more years, and among them, a little girl who always dreamed of traveling and seeing the world. There wasn’t a word of self-pity-only warmth and humor and the joy of
living. She mailed the letter, not really expecting an answer.
A few days later, my doorbell rang. Aunt Edith didn’t wait to come in; she stood in the hall and read aloud:
Your beautiful letter moved me very deeply. If you can come to Houston, there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation.
That was seven years ago. Since then, Aunt Edith has been around the world. Her three children are happily married. For her age, she is one of the youngest, most lively people I know.
60.In fact, Aunt Edith’s letter to Dr Debakey was full of __________.
A.courage B.thanks C.pity D.sadness
61.The reason why Aunt Edith remains young is that ________.
A.she had an operation by a famous doctor B.she has been light-hearted all the time
C.her three children take good care of her D.her three children have been on their own

Governors, lawyers and business leaders have to deal with scientists, and every educated person finds his views affected by science. Yet our science teaching of non-scientists, in school and college, has built up mistaken ideas, dislikes, and the common boast, “I never did understand science.” Even those students who arrive at college with plans to become scientists usually bring a mistaken picture of science: some have a collection of unorganized facts about science, and some regard the study of science as a game which includes getting the right answer.
The first of these attitudes seems to come from a kind of course which provides various kinds of information; the second, from a training course on how to pass examinations that do not ask about the student’s understanding but simply require him to put the numbers in the right formulas(公式). Neither type of courses (in school or college) seems to give students an understanding of science as we find it among scientists. Neither shows students how real scientists work and think, how the facts are gathered, how discoveries are made, and what they mean. Young people need good teaching of science, not so much a great wealth of knowledge as a healthy understanding of the nature of science. They need an understanding of knowledge leading to sympathy with science and an eagerness of the way scientists work. Given these, it is easy to encourage later reading and learning.
62.One of the reasons that cause mistaken ideas of science is due to __________.
A.a mistaken picture in students’ mind
B.the unscientific way of teaching of science
C.the fact that students fail to see the influence(影响) of science
D.the fact that students have a collection of unrelated facts about science
63.According to the passage, we can safely say that the subject of the passage is ______.
A.need for good science teaching
B.every person, including governors, lawyers and business leaders should study science C.young people should form a correct attitude to science
D.students must know what science is and how scientists work and think
64.A good course of science is ______.
A.to teach students to do things according to formulas B.to provide students with all kinds of information C.to help students have a good understanding and form a correct attitude to science
D.to encourage students to have a good command of knowledge
65.People such as governors, lawyers and business leaders deal with scientists mainly because
________. A.they can be affected by scientists when they are together B.scientists make discoveries and apply them to help people live a more comfortable, stable and
safe life
C.they owe much to scientists’ contributions D.scientists are great persons

Frank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect that the United States has ever produced. He was very gifted and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also practical and useful. They fit their purposes very well. Wright’s churches, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable, at home. However, Fank Lloyd Wright’s beautiful, practical and useful buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason.
Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wright’s idea about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.
The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Style of Architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and the lines of Wright’s house are parallel to the horizon(与地平线平行), the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90°angles with the horizon.
66.Frank Lloyd Wright’s style in architecture was ________.
A.learned from some European countries C.no longer popular B.not only limited to the U.S D.somewhat similar to the European style 67.Which of the following best describes the character of the houses that Wright designed? A.They were very large and beautiful. B.They were very comfortable. C.They could be used as churches. D.They were beautiful in design but not practical in use.
68.What is the most important idea in Wright’s style?
A.Architectural design should match natural surroundings.
B.A building must have grassland around it.
C.American style in architecture should be different from European’s.
D.Design should be more important than use.
69.Which of the following is NOT true about Wright’s “grass-land houses”?
A.The lines of “grass-land houses” are similar to lines on the grassland.
B.The lines of “ grass-land houses” are horizontal.
C.The color of the lines of “grass-land houses” is green.
D.They are different from European style houses.
70.The best title for this passage would be _________.
A.The Differences between the American and European Styles in Architecture B.“Grass-land” Houses Designed by Wright C.How to Make Your Houses More Beautiful D.The Influence of Wright on American Architecture

Is it possible to persuade manking to live without war? War is an ancient practice which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past, the human race managed to live with it. Modern cleverness has changed this. Either Man will end the existence of war, or war will end the existence of Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons(核武器) that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded in ending the existence of nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be
done until we have succeeded in ending war. To do this, we need to persuade manking to look upon international problems in a new way not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skilful in killing people, but by settling in accordance with agreed rules of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the acceptance of this or that ideology(意识形态) would prevent war. I believe this to be a big mistake. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements(强词夺理) which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their supporters believe in them so deeply that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are coming nearer to is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important struggle nowadays is not between different countries but between Man and the atom bomb.
71.This passage implies that war is now ________.
A.worse than in the past C.not so dangerous as in the past B.as bad as in the past D.as necessary in the past
72.In the sentence “To do this, we need to persuade mankind…” (Paragraph 1), “this” refers to _______.
A.to end the existence of war B.to improve weapons
C.to solve international problems D.to live a peaceful life
73.From Paragraph 2 we learn that the writer of the passage _________.
A.is a supporter of some modern ideologies B.does not think that the acceptance of any ideologies could prevent war C.believes that the acception of some ideologies could prevent war
D.does not doubt the truth of any ideologies
74.According to the writer, ___________.
A.war is the only way to solve international arguments B.war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons C.it is impossible for people to live without war D.war must be ended if Man wants to survive(生存) A.international agreements can be reached more easily now B.Man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war C.nuclear war will surely not take place D.world opinion welcomes nuclear war 75.The last paragraph suggests that ____________.
