Wherever his imagination goes, man also has a strong wish to go. A large part of the human history is connected with the

17、 exploration of the world in which we live. Again and again people have set out with surprising courage and patience to look into unknown regions and lands to see what had not yet been seen, and to make known the unknown. With kites, balloons and aircraft they left the ground to pass through the low

18、er atmosphere. Now outer space is receiving their attention. Why should man take the trouble of conquering space? It is hard to list the specific practical benefits that will result in. But one knows, from past experience in other areas, that man will surely see and discover new things in space that

19、 will increase our scientific knowledge, and the new knowledge will find its way into valuable practical uses. What we learn about man himself, from his experience in space, and from the effects of space flights on him, will be extremely valuable. The new techniques developed to carry out the explor

20、ation of space, and to keep man alive in space, will certainly find practical uses in everyday life in some ways. The areas that will benefit are manifold. They include communication, generation of power, transportation and travel, food production, materials, fuels and many others. But to say defini

21、tely just what the practical results will be is almost impossible.56.

22、he world57. The underlined word “manifold” in the second paragraph probably means “_”.A. vastB. variousC. valuable D. practical58.

24、, so has the use of it. After the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) was founded in 1927, the particular style of speech of the BBC announcers was recognized as standard English or Received Pronunciation (RP) English. Now, most people still consider that the pronunciation and delivery of BBC ann

25、ouncers is the clearest and most understandable spoken English. English has had a strong relationship with classes and social positions. However, since the Second World War there has been a clear change of attitude towards speech snobbery(自我优越感), and marks of class distinction(区别) such as styles of

26、speech have been gradually diminishing, especially in the younger generation. By the end of the 1960s, it had become clear that it was not necessary to speak standard English or even correct grammar to become popular, successful and rich. The fashionable speech of the day was no longer the special r

27、ight of a special class but rather a defiant(反抗的) expression of classlessness. The greatest single influence of the shaping of the English language in modern times is the American English. Over the last 25 years the English used by many people, particularly by those in the media, advertising and sho

28、w business, has become more and more mid-Atlantic in style, delivery and accent. In the 1970s, fashion favored careless pronunciation and a language full of jargon, slang and “in” words, a great quantity of which couldnt be understood by the outside world. What is considered modern and fashionable i

29、n Britain today is often not the kind of English taught in schools and colleges.60. Which of the following is NOT true?A.

33、enced by the American English in the last 25 yearsD. there has been a great change in the English language in the previous centuryThe law has a great many rules, showing when and how far a man is to be punished, or if he should be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so on. Thes

34、e rules are contained in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books. He begins by doing little else than reading, and after he has prepared himself by three years study, still, he has to, almost every day, read more about some new questions which he has to answer. The power to use books, th

35、en, is a special skill which a would-be lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough flexibility（灵活性）to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have some readiness to find what a book contains, and something of an instinct（直觉）for where to look for what he wants. But

36、 although this is the power which he will first feel in need of, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite it; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise people what to do in order to

37、 keep out or get out of trouble. 64. The first thing a law student has to do is to _.A. read booksB. hand over moneyC. practice lawD. answer questions65.

41、he holidays that the customers will be able to have the next year. Soon, people begin to come into the office to book their holidays; perhaps a weeks skiing in Austria in January, perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May, or a tour of North Africa. Brian often has to advise people on what holidays

42、will be suitable for them.

In the end, she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise instead. Arranging journeys for pe

43、ople who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated, but Brian enjoys this work.
