Passage 1

There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art.

Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art; Paris has the Luvre; London, the

British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for

people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and

paintings.

FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States.

You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked

to a telephone.

You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own

computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art

produced electronically (

通过电子手段

) by artists on their own computers. In only a

few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.

Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he starts the

museum because computer artistes had no place to show their work.

A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records or

floppy discs (

软盘

), to others to see on their computers. He could also print his

pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an

expensive laser

（激光）

printer.

Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at

schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students.

Mr. Shostak said the FIU museum would make computer art more fun for computer

artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if

they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could

mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.

11. The main purpose of this passage is to give information about___B__________.

A. famous museums throughout the world

B. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A.

C. art exhibitions in Florida International University

D. latest development of computer art

12. To see the art in FIU museum, your special needs include____D_________.

A. floppy discs

B. a computer and a printer

C. pictures and drawings on paper

D. a computer connected to the museum by a telephone line

13. What are stored in this museum?A

A. Paintings drawn by means of the computer.

B. Different styles of paintings.

C. Old paintings.

D. Drawings done by art students of FIU.

14. The museum was started when____B_______.

A. Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists

B. Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists

C. art students needed better places to show their works

D. computer scientists wanted to do something about art

15. The word “audience” in the last paragraph refers to _______

D____.

A. art students

B. computer owners

C. exhibits in the museum

D. those who will enjoy art

Passage 2

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a

temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many

different meanings.

“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.

When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may

think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer.

We all maximize (

扩大

) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words

such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way

the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (

瀑布

) they

had visited. On one st

udent’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe

he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

But the story also shows a scarcity (

缺乏

) of words. Without “cool”, some people

have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some

credibility (

可信性

). Can you think of many other words that make your life as

colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.

16. We know that the word “cool” has had __

C______.

A. only one meaning B. no meanings

C. many different meanings D. the same meaning

17. In the passage, the word “express” means “___

B

_____”.

A. see B. show C. know D. feel

18. If you are ___A

____ something, you may say, “It’s cool.”

A. interested in B. angry about

C. afraid of D. unhappy with

19. The writer takes an example to show he is __C______ the way the word is used.

A. pleased with B. strange to

C. worried about D. careful with

20. In the passage, the writer suggests

（暗示）

that the word “cool”______

D__.

A. cannot be replaced by other words

B. usually means something interesting

C. can make your life colourful

D. shouldn’t be overused

Passage 3

For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the wor

ld’s

greatest dramatist (

剧作家

). Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of

William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the

work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from

Shakespe

are’s writings that have become part of the common property of the

English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of

the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of

Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.

Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great

resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our

normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.

There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety

of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used

it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to

beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many

words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.

21. English people _____C_______.

A. have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatist

B.

never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatist

C. are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatist

D. do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist

22. Every Englishman knows _________A_____.

A. more or less about Shakespeare

B. Shakespeare, but only slightly

C. all Shakespeare’s writings

D. only the name of the greatest English writer

23. Which of the following is true?C

A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.

B. Shakespeare’s writings have

become the property of those who are learning to

speak English.

C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they

use.

D. All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.

24. What does the word “proverb” mean?

A

A. Familiar sayings. B. Shakespeare’s plays.

C. Complaints. D. Actors and actresses.

25. Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used

English?B

A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s time.

B. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.

C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s time.

D. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.
