24、黑。（A）Jame Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J.C,”he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high sch

25、ool,he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later. A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of st

26、airs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book. The stage was

27、set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners. “It was all right with me, ” he said years later. “I didn't go to Berlin to shak

28、e hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976 , four years before his death. Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living

29、by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he on

30、ce said. “Time has stood still for me. That goden moment dies hard.”61. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when _.A. he went to Ohio State University B. his teacher made fun of him C. his teacher took “J.C.” for “Jesse”D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet62. In the Big Ten meet, Owens_.A. hurt hi

31、mself in the back B. succeeded in setting many records C. tried every sports event but failed D. had to give up some events 63. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because _.A. he was not of the right race B. he was the son of a poor farmer C. he didn

32、9;t shake hands with Hitler D. he didn't talk to the US president on the phone 64. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,” he means that the medals _.A. have been changed for money to help him live on B. have made him famous in the USC. have encouraged him to overcome difficult

33、ies in life D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs 65. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Jesse Owens, a Great American Athlete B. Golden Moment a Life-time StruggleC. Making a Living as a Sportsman D. How to Be Successful Athlete?（B）Since the beginning of time, man has

34、 been interested in the moon. The Romans designed a special day to show admiration and respect to the moon. They called it “Moonday”, or “Monday”, as we know it today. Later, the great mind of Leonardo da Vinci studied the moon and designed a machine to carry a human to the moon. Leonardo said that

35、one day a great machine bird would take a person to the moon and bring great honour to the home where it was born.Four and a half centuries later, Leonardos idea was realized. Apollo II took three AmericansCollins, Aldrin, and Armstrongto the moon. The mission (任务) did fill the whole world with grea

36、t surprise, as Leonardo had said it would. A lot of essays, articles, and books were written about mans first moon mission. But perhaps the most interesting story was one written before the eventover 100 years before. In 1865, French author Jules Verne wrote a story about the first journey to the mo

37、on. His story was very similar to the 1969 Apollo II mission. Vernes spacecraft also contained three mentwo Americans and a Frenchman. The spacecraft was described as being almost the same size as Apollo II. The launch site in Vernes story was also in Florida. The spacecraft in Vernes story was name

38、d the “Columbiad”. The Apollo II command ship was called “Columbia”. His account of sending the spacecraft into the space could easily have been written about how Apollo II was sent into the space. Vernes story was the same as the actual event in several other respects. The speed of Vernes spacecraf

39、t was 36,000 feet per second; Apollos was 35,533 feet per second. Vernes spacecraft took 97 hours to reach the moon; Apollos time was 103 hours. Like Apollos spacemen, Vernes spacemen took pictures of the moons surface, relaxed on their seats, cooked with gas, and experienced weightlessness. They to

40、o came down in the Pacific and were picked up by an American warship. What were the reasons for Jules Vernes extreme accuracy (准确性) in describing an event 100 years or more before it actually occurred? He based his writings on the law of physics and astronomy (天文学). Nineteenth-century science and th

41、e vivid Vernes imagination gave people an unbelievably accurate preview of one of the greatest events of the 20th century. 66. Leonardo da Vinci said that a great machine bird would _. A. bring great honor to the moon B. fly toward the sun C. explore the heavens D. take people to the moon 67. Jules

42、Verne wrote his story of a mans visit to the moon about _.A. 100 years before the Apollo II mission B. 10 years before the Apollo II mission C. four and a half centuries ago D. 100 years ago 68. Vernes story is very similar to _.A. the first U.S space misison B. the Apollo II mission C.Leonardo da V

43、incis story D. a lot of other books on the same subject 69. The passage suggests that Jules Verne _.A. developed the laws of physics B. based his writings on the works of Leonardo da Vinci C. was very lucky in what he had described about the future D. knew a great deal about the laws of physics and

44、astronomy 70. The passage mainly describes _.A. the rapid progress of mankind B. Vernes accurate preview of the futureC. the 1969 Apollo II moon mission D. the 19th-century science and technology（C）The journey two naval (海军的) officers made some time ago to the very deepest point on the earth makes u

45、s realize how much of the world still remains to be explored. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball called a “bathyscaphe” (探海球) to find out if there are any ocean currents or sings of life. It was necessary to set out early, so that the “bath

46、yscaphe” would come to the surface in daylight, and so be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The drivers began preparations at dawn and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water. In time, the temperature dropped to free

47、zing-point and the men trembled (颤抖) inside the ball. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone describing how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3,000 feet, the men were surprised by a sudden, loud noise, even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant （立即的）death. Luckily, though

48、, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the “bathyscaphe” touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of “dust” made up of different kinds of small, dead sea animals. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming jus

49、t above them quite uncontrolled by the very large water-pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the weak but clear voices of the officers wre heard on the mother ship. After

50、a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience. 71. The officers started their journey at dawn _.A. because they could return in 24 hours B. because the sea was calm then C. when the sun was not stron

51、g D. so that they could return before dark 72. What did the officers find out at the bottom of the sea?A. Different dead sea animals . B. Signs of life. C. Nothing but a big cloud D.

52、een explored B. there are not any sings of life at the bottom of the sea C. strong water-pressure has great effect on fishD. powerful lights cannot be turned on at the ocean floor74. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part?A. They were cold and wet through ,which was the

53、worst thing at all.B. They were even worse than cold and wet through at the bottom of the sea.C. Considering what they had just experienced, being cold and wet through was even better. D. For such an experience, being cold and wet through was not bad for them at all. 75. The best title for his passa

The ocean floor is soft and dusty （D）There are three types of student visas: F-1 (Student Visa), J-1 (Exchange Visitor Visa), M-1( Nonacademic Trade Schools).Of these, the F-1 and the J-1 are the most common for international students.
