It is naturally impossible for a well educated, intellectual(懂道理的),or brave man to make money-the chief of his thoughts; it is naturally impossible for him to make his dinner—the necessary object of him. All healthy—minded people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy—minded people like making money—but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something more important than money.

A good soldier for instance, mainly wished to do his fighting well. He is glad for his pay—very properly so, and justly complains when you keep him ten months without it; still his main aim of his life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.

As for doctors, they like fees, no doubt — ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated, the entire object(目标) of their lives is not fees. They, on the whole, wishes to cure me sick, and—they are good doctors, and the choices is fairly put to them—would rather cure their patients and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men—their work is first, their fees second, very important always, but still second.

History is a society’s memory and forms part of people’s identity(身份). But Taiwan’s government has proposed a change to their history. In the move their textbooks will separate the island’s history from the rest of China.

By disconnecting the island’s history from the mainland, the government hopes to create a stronger Taiwan identity.

Under new guidelines(方针)to be carried out in 2006, Taiwan has ordered high schools to change textbooks to create one book of Taiwan’s history. At the moment their books cover the complete Chinese history. But following the new move Chinese history will be taught as part of international history. No longer to be included as part of Taiwan’s history is the founding of the Republic of China (ROC) in 1911 by Sun Yat-sen. This event will be in the new international history book.

“It is a political attempt by Taiwan’s leader Chen Shuibian to make their education support Taiwan’s independence,” said Li Weiyi, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council.

This move has also received great opposition in Taiwan’s schools. “The new outline is too political and facts have been changed,” said Yu Lin, the headmaster of Taipei Middle School. “It will confuse students’ understanding of history.”

“Who on earth should I think is the founding father of the ROC?” asked a student in Taipei. “Many famous people in history like Confucius(孔子)or Sun Yat-sen, who was considered ‘father of the ROC’ for more than half a century, should now be thought of as foreigners based upon this ridiculous logic,” he said.

Many people have shown opposition to the move. “History cannot be changed. Mixing politics with our history means forgetting our ancestors,” said Lien Chan, chairman of Kuomintang Party. “It will not do any good for the Taiwanese and only worsen cross-Straits relations.”

53.What is mainly described in the passage?

B.Taiwan authorities want to separate the island from the mainland.

C.Taiwan leaders want to make their education support Taiwan’s independence.

54.What’s the excuse for the move according to Taiwan’s government?

A.To cut off all connections with the mainland.

B.To disconnect the island’s history from the mainland.

C.Most of the Taiwanese do not welcome the textbook.

D.To create a stronger Taiwanese identity.

55.Which of the following is not included in the move?

Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists’ warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.

Predictions are improving. “We’re gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzbach, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right, ” Klotzbach says.

First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the vapor(水蒸气)cools and turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane.

If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “tropical storm”, and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane.

Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world.

On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher.

The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October.

57.According to the passage, hurricanes usually ____.

A.form off the coast of Africa and America

B.travel at 40 milies per hour and get its name

C.cause sea winds to rise and blow over the sea

D.hit parts of the world in summer and autumn

58.The underlined word “evaporates” (in Paragraph 5) probably means “____”.

A.begins to move    B.gets lost    C.becomes hot       D.changes into gas

59.Which of the following about the information of a hurricane is the correct order?

a.The ocean water evaporates and goes into the air.

b.Heat creates energy and cuases winds to increase.

c.The vaport cools.

d.The ocean water is warm enough.

e.The vapor changes back into liquid.

f.This course gives out heat.

A.a, d, e, b, c, f     B.a, b, c, f, d, e  C.d, a, c, e, f, b    D.d, a, b, c, e, f
