A
For nearly half a century, Mary Lasker, who died last week at 93, was America’s leading crusader (社會活動參與者) against cancer. Yet much of the money she used to fight the disease came from a product which is now considered as a cancer cause--the cigarette.
Her fortune first took shape in 1992 when advertising genius Albert Lasker was trying to raise American Tobacco Co. sales, “ Get woman to smoke,” a friend suggested, “and you’ll double your market.” Lasker hired actresses and opera singers to support Lasker Strikes. For women worried about extra pounds, he coined the words “Reach for a Lucky instead of a Sweet.” Lucky Strike Sales increased 312 percent in a year.
By the time he met Mary Woodard in 1939, Lasker was one of America’s richest men, thanks to Luckies and ads that brought in orange juice, facial tissue and sanitary napkins. “What do you want most out of life?” he asked her. She replied, “ To help to develop the research in cancer, tuberculosis and the major diseases.” They got married, and in 1942 she persuaded him to retire
and devote his time and money to philanthropy (慈善業), especially medical research, which then had little private funding and almost not any support from the government.
Albert’s 1952 cancer death left Mary with one goal: a cancer cure. She sold off several paintings --- Matisses, Renoirs and Van Goghs --- and gave the money to researchers. For ten years, she managed to persuade to give a high position to the National Institutes of Health. Results: NIH’s funding rises quickly from $2.4 million in 1954 to nearly $ 11 billion in 1994. Richard Nixon, moved and encouraged by Lasker, declared a $ 100 million “War on cancer ” and promised a cancer vaccine (疫苗) by 1976. That proved an different goal, but research has scored advances against several cancers. And Mary Lasker’s advice remains a laboratory watchword: “If there are no leads, let us make them.”
1. The words“ Reach for a Lucky instead of a Sweet” was coined by Albert Lasker for the purpose of ________.
A. tempting (勸誘) women to smoke so as to lose weight
B. persuading women not to eat sweets
C. telling women to smoke Lucky Strikes only
D. advertising Lucky Strikes
2. Albert gained his fortune by _______.
A. selling orange juice
B. producing facial tissue and napkins
C. running tobacco businesses
D. none of the above
3. The money Mary used to fight cancer from ________.
A. the Lucky Strikes Company
B. the government
C. her husband
D. her parents
4. Mary Lasker died _________.
A. of cancer B. from poverty
C. of T.B. D. not mentioned in the passage
B
A linguist is always listening, never off-duty. Once I invited a group of friends round to my house, telling them that I was going to record their speech. I said I was interested in their regional accents, and that it would take only a few minutes. Thus, on one evening, three people turned up at my house and were shown into my front room. When they saw the room they were a bit alarmed, for it was laid out as a studio. In front of each easy chair there was a microphone at head height, with wires leading to a tape-recorder in the middle of the floor. They sat down, rather nervously, and I explained that all I wanted was for them to count from one to twenty. Then we could relax and have a drink.
I turned on the tape-recorder and each in turn solemnly counted from one to twenty in their best accent. When it was over, I turned the tape-recorder off and brought round the drinks. I was sternly criticized for having such a idiotic job, and for the rest of the evening there was general jolly conversation --- spoilt only by the fact that I had to take a telephone call in another room, which unfortunately lasted some time.
Or at least that was how it would appear. For, of course, the microphones were not connected to the tape-recorder in the middle of the room at all but to another one, which was turning happily away in the kitchen. The participants, having seen the visible tape-recorder turned off, paid no more attention to the microphones which stayed in front of their chairs, only a few inches from their mouths, thus giving excellent sound quality. And my lengthy absence meant that I was able to obtain as natural a piece of conversation as it would be possible to find.
I should add, perhaps, that I did tell my friends what had happened to them, after the event was over, and gave them the option of destroying the tape. None of them wanted to – though for some years afterwards I was left in no doubt that I was morally obliged to them, in the sense that it always seemed to be my round when it came to the buying of drinks. Linguistic research can be a very expensive business.
5. Why did the author ask his friends to count from one to twenty?
A. He wanted them to think that was all he wanted to record.
B. He wanted to record how they pronounced numbers.
C. He had to check whether his tape-recorder was working.
D. He wanted to discover who had the best accent.
6. Why did the author leave the room in the middle of the evening?
A. He had to make a phone call to order some drinks.
B. He didn’t like to be criticized for being idiotic.
C. He wanted to turn off a tape recorder in another room.
D. He wanted the others to have a conversation without him.
7. How did the author have the conversation recorded?
A. On the tape- recorder in the middle of the floor.
B. Through hidden microphones.
C. On a tape-recorder in another room.
D. In a studio.
8. How did his friends react when the author told them what he had done?
A. They wanted him to destroy the recordings he had done.
B. They didn’t really feel offended.
C. They were upset because they felt he had cheated them.
D. They made him pay them for the recordings.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and, old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child – things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
9. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that __________.
A. life for a child is fairly easy.
B. a child is always loved whatever he does.
C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return.
D. only children are interested in life.
10. The main idea of the passage is that ______.
A. life is not enjoyed since each age has some pains.
B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard.
C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life.
D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.
11. The passage following this passage will most probably discuss ________.
A. examples of successful young man.
B. how to build up one’s position in society.
C. joys and pains of old people.
D. what to do when one has problems in life.

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. Bur he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.
The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was nor simple. The photographers hat to carry lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
Mathew Brady was a well-known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life-like and full of personality.
Brady was also the first person to take pictures of a war. His s1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy films ready-made in rolls. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later, meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.
With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for. They took pictures of their families, friends and favourite places. They called these pictures “snapshots.”
Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographers. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.
Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photographers were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.

Dear Mr Smith,
I was so pleased to hear from you and am writing to tell you something my school. You are right. Quite a few changes have taken place. On one side of the road there is a new classroom building. On the other side, where the playground used to be now stands another new building--- our library. In it there are all kinds of books, newspapers and magazines. The playground is now in front of the school. We have also planted a lot of trees in and around the school. I hope you come and see for yourself some day.
Best wishes,
Yours,
