He knew exactly what he wanted: a room which was not too small, nor so large that it would be difficult to heat in winter. It had to be clean and comfortable too but, above all, it had to be quiet. In the newspaper he had bought from the bookshop, there were very few advertisements（广告）for rooms to let. But, as he glanced down the page, a notice caught his eye. JOHNSON’S HOUSING AGENCY FLATS AND ROOMS TO LET This seemed hopeful, so he made a note of the address and set off in search of the agency. He found it in a narrow street just off the main road. The woman at the desk gave him a bright smile as he entered and, after Peter had explained what sort of room he was looking for, he paid two pounds for a list of about half a dozen landladies who had rooms to let. 56. What does the text mainly describe? A. Peter’s room-hunting experience. B. Peter’s determination to find a room. C. The difficulties in finding rooms. D. The housing market. 57.

The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to_______. A. a list of rooms to let. B. the newspaper Peter bought C. the notice in the restaurant D. Johnson’s Housing Agency B When Nancy Lublin received $5,000 from her grandfather in 1996, she never once considered taking a vacation or paying off student loans（贷款）. Instead, the 24-year-old New York University law student began thinking about helping low-income women get better jobs. “If a woman goes for a job interview （面试）poorly dressed, she won’t get the job,” Lublin says. “But without a job, she can’t afford suitable clothes.” So, with the money Lublin founded “Dress for Success” and began collecting women’s clothes which were still in good condition but which their owners no longer needed. “So many women have clothes lying around that they will never wear again,” one of Lublin’s assistants says. “Nancy’s idea is so simple and yet so important to women.” Many women come to Lublin’s office before going to a job interview. Here, they receive a suit, shoes and any other things they need. Since it was set up, more than 1,000 women have turned to “Dress for Success” for help. Many of them have won jobs after being out of work for many years. Jenny, a 32-year-old woman who was recently hired as a law-firm office manager, says, “I made a good impression（印象）because of ‘Dress for Success’.” 59. What can we learn from the text? A. Nancy’s grandfather lent her the money to set up the office. B. Nancy’s office gathers used clothes from women. C. Low-income women can get jobs at “Dress for Success”. D. Nancy set up “Dress for Success” to make money. 60. “Dress for Success” attracts many women because they_______. A. like to wear different clothes B. like the design of the dresses C. prefer buying clothes at a low price D. need to look smart when looking for a job 61. From what Jenny says, we know that_____. A. she got a lot of good ideas from Nancy B. she is working happily at her present job. C. clothes from Nancy’s office helped to get her a job. D. “Dress for Success” has a good business relation with her firm 62. What would be a good title for the text? A. Keep Your Old Clothes B. A Helping Hand for Women. C. Nancy: A Successful Law Student D. A Successful Clothing Business C Sitting is an art that isn’t getting passed along. People these days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf, or taking courses to improve their minds or bodies - or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn’t sitting-it’s watching. People used to sit a whole lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go down to the store and sit on the bench out front in the summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tires and spare parts, you could kick back and sit. Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown-ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would sit and digest（消化）the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel’s illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the children would play, and the afternoon would pass by in a comfortable haze（悠闲的氛围）. That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery（正充电的电池）doesn’t look as if it’s doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. If you want to enjoy a truly full life, don’t just do something -sit there. 63. What message does the author try to get through to us? A. People should make better use of their sitting room. B. People should spend less time watching TV. C. People should pass down their good habits. D. People should take things easy for their own good. 64. We can learn from the second paragraph that______.

It is an exciting idea to send two robots driving over very different places of Mars at the same time, to be able to see what is on the other side of the hill. Last month, NASA announced it was sending one robot to Mars, but after two weeks, it decided there was enough money for two. The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of 2003 from Kennedy Space Center. If all goes well, the two spacecraft（宇宙飞船）will touch down on Mars, after a seven-and-a-half-month space flight, on January 2 and 20,2004. The robots, each weighing 150 kilograms, can cover 100 meters per day. They are designed to be able to examine the mineral content of the soil, and their special camera will take pictures of the lands and hills. Although they will be under control from Earth ,the robots are able to move more freely compared to those sent up before them. The actual landing points have not been determined yet, but the scientists say it will be in areas where they hope to find water. 67. According to the news report, scientists plan to send robots up to Mars to_____. A. find out whether there is water on Mars B. see if robots can find minerals there C. test how fast robots can drive there D. prove that robots can work on Mars 68.
