Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.

In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work , forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.

For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.

The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc. 56. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?

A. How the Irish fought against the English. B. How Ireland gained independence.

C. How two “Irelands” came into being.

D. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland. 57. We learn from the text that in Ireland________.

A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in population

B. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside C. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker D. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments 58. What does the underlined words mean in the last paragraph?

A. has reviewed B. has returned C. has recovered D. has reached 59. The last paragraph is mainly about________.

A. the Irish character B. a famous Irish writer C. Irish musical instruments D. Irish culture 60. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Life in Ireland B. Ireland, Past and Present

C. A Very Difficult History D. The Independence of Ireland

C

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 17, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities（设备）to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognized in the form of a Military Medal by the French government.

In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）. Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956. 61. Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?

A. Because she received a degree in mathematics. B. Because she worked as a helper to her mother. C. Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic. D. Because she contributed to saving the wounded.

62. Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot?

A. At the University of Paris. B. At the Curie Institute. C. At a military hospital. D. At the College of Sévigné. 63. When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born?

A. In 1932. B. In 1927. C. In 1924. D. In 1926.

. In which of the following aspects was Irene Curie different from her mother?

A. Irene worked with radioactivity. B. Irene combined family and career. C. Irene won the Nobel Prize once. D. Irene died from leukemia.

65. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The life of Marie Curie B. The relationship of a mother and a daughter C. A successful daughter D. The general introduction of Irene 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Muzak

The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 66______ It’s similar to the music you listen to, but it’s not exactly the same. That’s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don’t even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.

Quiet background music used to be called “elevator (电梯) music” because

6

we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 67_____________

If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as Muzak but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 68__________

Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 69_______ Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.

70__________ They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!

A. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world. B. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used. C. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.

D. Muzak tends to help people understand music better. E. Music is playing in the background. F. Some people don’t like Muzak. G. The music gives them extra energy. 第四部分： 填空。

Everyone has a desire for success while success only belongs to the hard-working people. As the old saying goes, “No pains, no gains. ”

I failed in the last exam. So discouraged was I that I didn’t want to do anything. I didn’t have exercises and even didn’t attend to what the teacher said in the classes. Later on, I found things even worse. Meanwhile, a great many students made every effort to study. Only then did I realize I was wrong and that success would not wait for me. So I made the best of every minute to catch up with my classmates. Now I’m progressing in my studies. I feel confident that my effort will pay off eventually.

My story makes me believe failure is temporary for a diligent person but permanent for the lazy. One’s efforts will surely be rewarded with success, no matter how big or small the success is.
