20、 10 November 5：27pm, yesterday. Biggest power failure in the city's history. *Thousands of people got stuck in lifts. Martin Saltzman spent three hours between the 21st and 22nd floors of the Empire State Building. "There were twelve of us. But no one panicked. We passed the time telling st

21、ories and playing word games. One man wanted to smoke but we didn't let him. Firemen finally got us out." * "It was the best night we've ever had.," said Angela Carraro. who runs an ltalian restaurant on 42nd Street. "We had lots candles on the tables and the waiters were

22、 carrying candles on their trays. The place was full and all night, in fact, for after we had closed, we let the people stay on and spend the night here." * The zoos had their problems like everyone else. Keepers worked through the right. They used blankets to keep flying squirrels and small mo

23、nkeys warm. While zoos had problems keeping warm, supermarkets had problems keeping cool. "All of our ice cream and frozen foods melted," said the manger of a store in downtown Manhattan. "They were worth $50,0000." * The big electric clock in the lobby(大廳) of the Waldorf-Astoria

24、 Hotel in downtown Manhattan started(滴答) again at 5：25 this morning. It was almost on time. 51Throughout the period of darkness, Martin Saltzman and the eleven others were _. Anervous Bexcited Ccalm Dfrightened 52In what way was the night of November 9 the best night for Angela Carraro ? AShe had a

ANearly 12 hours. BMore than 12 hours. CNearly 24 hours. DMore than 24 hours. B The easy way out isn't always easies

26、t. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade break. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I th

27、ought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Dong loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough(面團)covered with ugly yellowish marks. realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin o

28、utside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work, I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The thir

29、d time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in o

30、ut rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were br

31、eathing. I had to admit what the 'living thing 'was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed(尷尬)by the whole thing Doug or me. 54The writer's purpose in writing this story is _ Ato tell an interesting experience Bto show the easiest way out of a difficulty Cto desc

32、ribe the trouble facing a newly married woman Dto explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books 55Why did the woman's attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful? AThe canned orange had gone bad. BShe didn't use the right kind of flour. CThe cookbook was hard to understan

33、d. DShe did not follow the directions closely. 56Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin? AShe didn't see the use of keeping it BShe meant to joke with her husband. CShe didn't want her husband to see it . DShe hoped it would soon dry in the son. 57What made the dough in the rubbi

34、sh bin? AThe rising and falling movement. BThe strange-looking marks. CIts shape. DIts size. 58When Doug went out the third time, the woman looked out of the window because she was _. Asurprised at his being interested in the bin Bafraid that he would discover her secret Cunhappy that he didn't

35、enjoy the meal Dcurious to know what disturbed him C Decision-thinking is not unlike it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think what you think they think you think. The mental process(過程) is similar. Naturally, this card game has often been of considerable interes

36、t to people who are, by any standards, good thinkers. The great mathematician John von Neumann was one of the founders of game theory. In particular, he showed that all games fall into two classes; there are what he called games of 'perfect information', games like chess where the players ca

37、n't hide anything or play tricks; they don't win by chance, but by means of logic and skills. Then there are games of 'imperfect information', like poker, in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another. One mistaken idea about business i

38、s that it can be treated as a game of perfect information. Quite the reverse Business, life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information. Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors(因素), best poker players. But few business people find i

39、t comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance, and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess, not poker. 59The subject discussed in this text is _. Athe process of reaching decisions Bthe difference between poker and chess. Cthe secret of making good business plans Dthe value o

40、f information in winning games 60An important factor in a game of imperfect information is _. Arules Bluck Ctime Dideas 61Which of the following can be used in place of "Quite the reverse"? AQuite right. BTrue enough. CMost unlikely. DJust the opposite. 62In the writer's opinion, when

41、making business decisions one should _ . Aput perfect information before imperfect information Baccept the existence of unknown factors Cregard business as a game of chess Dmix known and unknown factors D Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men. in which he looked millions of years ahe

42、ad. He told of different men and of strange civilisations(文明), broken up by long 'dark ages' in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last

43、Men. However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred ? The next thousand? The next million? That's much more difficult. When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could

44、they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的)in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps through the cribe, These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can't think of . So why b

45、other even to try imagining life far in the future ? Here are two reasons. First unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live beca

46、use. we are careless or greedy(貪婪) or quarrelsome. our grand-children will not bother to think of excuses for us. Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in th

47、e future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set you imagination free when you think about the future . 63A particular mention made of Stapledon's book in the opening paragraph _ Aserves as a description of human history Bserves an introduction to the discussion Cshows a d

48、isagreement of views D Shows the popularity of the book 64The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that _. Ahuman history is extremely long Blife has changed a great deal Cit is useless to plan for the next 50 years Dit is difficult to tell what wi

49、ll happen in the future 65Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to _. Atools used in farming Bideas about modern life Cunknown things in the future Dhunting skills in the Stone Age 66According to the writer of the text, imagining the future will _. Aserve the interests of the presen

50、t and future generations Benable us to better understand human history Chelp us to improve farming Dmake life worth living E Excused from recycling(回收利用) because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute(垃圾道)? You won't be for long. Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those livin

51、g in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too . In Shantzis' Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper,

52、metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes. The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors' chute door and sets the

53、 recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables Sorting(分類) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive m

54、aterials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective. 67The purpose in writing this text is _. Ato encourage people to recycle their rubbish Bto introduce a recycling system for high rises Cto describe the use of computer technology in recycling Dto explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises 68When he says "You won't be for long" the
