• 1．The most important use of drifting （漂流） bottles is to find ocean currents．When the position and direction of currents are known，ships can use the forward movement of a current or stay away from currents that would carry them off their course．Benjamin Franklin was one of the first to use bottles in the study of currents．He wondered why British mall ships needed a week or two longer than U．S．ships needed in order to cross the Atlantic Ocean．Franklin thought the Gulf Stream might explain this difference．
  Franklin talked with captains of U．S．ships．He found that they knew each turn of the Gulf Stream．They used the current in every possible way．From his talks with the captains．Franklin made his first map of the Gulf Stream．Then he checked his map by using sealed （密封的） bottles．The map that he finally made is still used，with only a few changes，today．
  
  （1）Why are drifting bottles used？

  
  A．To determine the position of a ship．
  B．To find the direction of a current．
  C．To predict the direction of a ship．
  D．To carry message across the ocean．
  （2）What did Franklin make after his talks with U．S．captains？

  
  A．A map of the Gulf Stream．
  B．A map of the Atlantic Ocean．
  C．A map of ocean currents．
  D．A map of his first voyage．
  （3）What did Franklin do in order to make an exact map？

  
  A．He compared his own map with other maps．
  B．He talked with many U．S．captains．
  C．He used drifting bottles to check his map．
  D．Both B and C．

• 2．When we see well，we do not think about our eyes very often．It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are．
  People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes，Everything else seems blurry（=unclear）．Many people who do a lot of work，such as writing，reading and sewing become near-sighted．
  People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem．They can see things that are far away，but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length．If they want to do much reading，they must get glasses，too．
  Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape．They have what is called astigmatism （散光）．This，too，can be corrected by glasses．Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts （白內(nèi)障）．Long ago these people often became blind．Now，however，it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them．
  Having two good eyes is important for judging distances．Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle （角度）．To prove this to yourself，look at an object out of one eye；then look at the same object out of your other eye．You will find the object's relation to the background and other things around it has changed．The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is．People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes．
  
  （1）We should take good care of our eyes．

  
  A．only when we can see well
  B．only when we cannot see perfectly
  C．even if we can see well
  D．only when we realize how important our eyes are
  （2）When things far away seem indistinct（模糊不清），one is probably．

  
  A．near-sighted
  B．far-sighted
  C．a(chǎn)stigmatic
  D．suffering from cataracts
  （3）Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for．

  
  A．seeing at night
  B．seeing objects far away
  C．looking over a wide area
  D．judging distances
  （4）People who suffer from astigmatism have．

  
  A．one eye bigger than the other
  B．eyes that are not exactly the right shape
  C．a(chǎn) difficulty that can be corrected by an operation
  D．a(chǎn)n eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses．

• 4．I'm a Chinese student studying in England．I have been a boarder with the Carsons for more than a year and a half．
  The Carsons live in their own house，which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement（底層）which I live in．Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden．When they go out in the evening，they often ask me to look after their children．
  Judy's parents，Mr．a(chǎn)nd Mrs．Morris，lived in another city．Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on（溺愛）Judy's children．They often sent the children presents．
  Last April Mr．Morris died．Now that Mrs．Morris was quite alone，I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them．One day，Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back．The news didn't surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it．I said I couldn't think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs．Morris．Judy seemed surprised at first．Then she told me there was no deed for me to move，for they hadn't yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them．"Naturally I'm worried about my mother．She has been in poor health．"She smiled sadly and added．"To be honest，Andrew and my mother have never got on well．We'll wait a bit and see what happens．Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself，of perhaps they will both change their minds．"
  That was six months ago．During this time I've heard that Mrs．Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse．A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs．Morris refused to go there．So up to now she's still living alone and I'm still living in the basement room．
  
  （1）Why did the speaker expect Mrs．Morris to come to live with her daughter？

  
  A．Because Mr．Morris was dead．
  B．Because Mrs．Morris suffered from illness．

  A．Mrs．Morris was coming to live with the Carsons，so they asked the speaker to move．
  B．Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother．
  C．Mrs．Morris loved her grandchildren very much．
  D．The Carsons once suggested that Mrs．Morris go to live in a nursing home．
  （3）Why didn't Mrs．Morris come to live with her daughter's family？

  
  A．Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her to live in．
  B．Because she did not have a good relationship with her son-in-law．
  C．Because she was in rather poor health and could not come．
  D．Because she did not want to leave her own house．
  （4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？

  Dear editor，
  In the past my hometown was used to be a beautiful place．Thick trees and green grass could be seen in everywhere．In order to build house and grow more crops，people cut down more and more trees．With time went on，the whole forest was almost destroyed．Gradually the green hills have changed wasteland．As a result，sandstorms struck us now and then，from which we suffer a lot．However，I do hope all the people should realize the terribly result of not caring about our environment．What's more，they should take good care of the forests and plant trees instead cutting them down to improve our living conditions．
