Passage 1

Scientists discovered that atoms of some substances are radioactive. This means that they are unstable and can be split. The chain of splitting atoms releases great destructive energy and it was this discovery which led scientists to develop the idea of an atomic bomb. The American government secretly worked to produce such a bomb and the first version was much more powerful than anyone had thought.

By this time, the World War Ⅱ had ended in Europe. But the Japanese refused to surrender, the Americans decided that by dropping an atomic bomb on Japan, they could end the war quickly and save more of their soldier’s lives.

Soon after midnight on 6 August 1945, a bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, a civilian target. No warning was given and there was total devastation. Almost all the buildings were destroyed and more than 100000 people died or were horribly wounded.

The Japanese military still did not want to surrender so three days later, the Americans dropped a second atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki, killing 45000 people. The Japanese government was discussing ending the war when they heard the news of Nagasaki. Finally, they surrendered and the World War Ⅱ came to an end.

At first, the scientists who had built the bomb were pleased that it had helped to end the war. However, many would come to realize that they had helped to create the most terrible weapon known to man.

Passage 2

In 1917, Russia was in chaos. The economy was collapsing, there were food shortages and the country was suffering heavy losses in the World War Ⅰ. Inevitably, people began to lose faith in their ruler, Tsar Nicholas Ⅱ. On 15 March 1917, after much political unrest, the Tsar decided to abdicate. He was replaced by a new government led by Alexander Kerensky.

To begin with a rival political group, the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lennin and Leon Trotsky, supported the new government, but their relationship soon collapsed. The Bolsheviks wanted even more change—their aim was to replace the existing political structure with groups representing each sector of society and they urged every worker to join a revolution in order to bring this about. In July 1917, the Bolsheviks tried to overthrow the government but failed. They tried again on 24 October and this time they were successful. The provisional government was arrested in St Petersburg, and Lenin took over as Head of State. Support for the Bolsheviks soon spread across Russia, and world's first “workers’ revolutionary State” became reality.

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:

Passage 3

Even the newest gardener realizes that plants die without water; what is not so well known is that plants die equally decisively, though not so quickly, if they are overwate red. Beginners usually decide to play it safe and keep their potted plants thoroughly wet. In consequence, death by drowning is one of the commonest disasters to befall the plants of a new horticulturist. Plants wither away if they don't get enough water, and this draws attention to their problem. A plant that has been slightly underwatered so that it droops strikes terror into the heart of its new owner. But it will, in fact, recover completely as long as rescue comes in time and the process is not repeated too often. Overwatered plants, unfortunately, do not give any such obvious signal; slowly they cease to thrive and the first visible indication of serious trouble is a yellowing of the lower leaves. Unless the overwatered pot soil is given a considerable period without water, during which time the plant will continue to look wretched, it will suddenly collapse in exactly the same way as the underwatered plant but with no chance of being revived(复活)because the roots have rotted away.

51. From the text we can infer a horticulturist is person engaged in ______.

A. growing plants B. raising birds

C. cutting plants D. studying the death cause of plants

52. What does a new gardener usually decide to do to keep their potted plants alive? ______.

A. Underwatering the plants B. Fertilising the pot soil

53. According to the text, which of the following plants might die without recovery? ______.

A. Plants with their lower leaves yellowing

B. Overwatered plants

C. Underwatered plants

D. Loosening the pot soil

54. A withered plant might be rescued because ______.

A. it doesn't get enough water

B. it is repeatedly overwatered

C. it gives visible signal of dying

D. it dies slowly

55. What is the purpose of this text? ______.

A. To warn gardeners not to underwater plants

B. To give information about general problems of gardening

C. To draw attention to the problem of overwatered plants

D. To recommend new gardeners the book about gardening

Passage 4

In 1950 it was predicted that eight or ten electronic computers would be sufficient to handle all the scientific and business needs of the United States. Likewise, the chief executive officer of IBM advised the company not to invest time or money in developing computers because he foresaw a limited commercial market. But these predictions were proved totally inaccurate as the computer industry developed into a multibilliondollar business. Today the computer plays a vital role in the lives of many Americans and is seen as one of the greatest technological developments of all times.

Since computers can handle large amount of data rapidly and efficiently, categorize, process, and report information for a variety of business operations, they, in fact, have a virtually unlimited capacity for producing business data. However, computers can't think, their role in business is limited to those areas in which they can process information more efficiently and effectively than human being. At the administrative level, managers decide how computers and humans can be used most effectively to perform a particular business task.

Computers have become an integral part of day-to-day business transactions as well as analytic tools for long range planning, research, and development. Even a small business can utilize computers by either purchasing a small unit known as a minicomputer, leasing one, or by timesharing. In a timesharing system, each user is regularly scheduled for time to use the computer system. A wide variety of businesses and individuals participate in timesharing computer system.

By performing data processing tasks such as accounting and billing, computers are playing an increasingly important role in businesses. Currently, business are developing overall management information systems in which computers function as essential tools in solving problem and decisionmaking at all administrative levels.

The Teacher-student Relationship

The teacher-student relationship is of vital importance in class．A sound and efficient tie between teachers and students can help to do away with all the difficulties and misunderstandings in teaching and learning,and make classes fruitful．

A teacher should not be too hard on his students．Frequent harsh and demanding words may discourage the students from giving and answering questions，interacting and even attending classes．on the other hand, too much freedom and let-alone time may give rise to no concept of discipline, unfinished homework and poor study performance on exams．Therefore, the teacher must keep away from the other extreme．

The greatest gift a teacher can bestow the students is an awakening of a passion for learning．So a teacher should be enthusiastic, encouraging and helpful, and he should motivate his students to want to learn and form a right attitude toward study．He must make them see study as a joyful thing but not a burden and encourage them to work for the whole society When they graduate．

Teachers' care and love for students is selfish．They not only input the innocent hearts knowledge，but also help to shape Character．Students should have great respect for their teachers and be polite inside and outside class．The biggest thing students can do for their teachers as respect may be to serve all the people heart and soul with knowledge from classes．
