He's an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I haven't time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street ; he'll fix them for you right away.”

    But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can't do it well.”

   “The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait”— without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.

    My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.”

 I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.

 “See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.. ”

 When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hot, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.

    These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.

56. Why did the author think the man was a skilled cobbler?

A. Because the cobbler was old and kind.

B. Because he had observed the cobbler’s shop for a long time.

C. Because the cobbler wiped his hands on his blue apron.

D. Because the cobbler refused to fix his shoes at first.

57. The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” implies that _______.

  A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him

  B. it was difficult to communicate with this man

  C. the man was very strange                             D. the man was too old

58. According to the author, many people work just to ________.

   A. realize their abilities       B. gain happiness         

C. make money                D. gain respect

59. This story wants to tell us that ________.

  A. craftsmen make a lot of money              B. whatever you do, do it well

   C. craftsmen need self-respect               D. people are born equal

Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.  

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive(不坦率的)person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn(顽固的), but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

If you sleep curled up(卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.  

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.

60. According to the writeryou naturally show your secret and real personality _______.

A. only in a normal night

B. only when you go to sleep

C. only when you refuse to show yourself to the world

A. He or she is careful not to offend(冒犯) others.

B. He or she doesn't want to stick to his or her opinion.

C. He or she can't be successful in any business.

D. He or she likes to bring others happiness.

62. Maybe you don't want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why

A. He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you.

What will man be like in the future-in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.
   Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
   Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
   On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
   But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.
   Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
64. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
  A. man's life will be different in the future
 
 B. future man will look quite different from us
    C. man is growing taller as time passes
  D. man will disappear
65. The change in man's size of forehead is probably because ________.
  A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacity
  B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries
  C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time
  D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on
66. What is true about a human being in the future?
  A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.
  B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.
  C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.
  D. He thinks and feels in different way.
67. We can infer that _______.
  A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.
  B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its becoming worse
  C. human beings hope for a change in the future life
  D. future life is always predictable

If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like "Shakespeare," "Samuel Johnson," and "Webster," but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn't even speak English-----William the Conqueror.
  Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.
  But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.

When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.

68.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were______.

A. Welsh and Scottish     B. Nordic and Germanic

C. Celtic and Old English    D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic  

69.Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?
  A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.
  B. They know little of the history of the English language.
  C. Many French words are similar to English ones.
  D. They know French better than German.
70.What is the subject discussed in the text?
  A. The history of Great Britain.
  B. The similarity between English and French.
  C. The rule over England by William the Conqueror.
  D. The French influences on the English language .

71.The underlined word “distinction” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”.

A difference        B similarity          C extinction      D likeness

LATEST BOOKS

 Below you’ll find some latest published books that have been added to the library’s collection in the past 45 days.

She Is Not Invisible

Sergwick’s “She Is Not Invisible” is partly a thriller, partly a philosophical reflection on coincidence, but mostly, it’s the story of Laureth: a blind British teenager whose father, a famous author, has gone missing in America. She sets out to find him, taking her seven-year-old brother as a guide. She is not sure this is strictly legal, so she pretends not to be blind as they make their way through Heathrow airport and the streets of New York City.

Six Bad Poets

“Six Bad Poets” is a farce-in-verse(闹剧式诗句) by Christopher Reid, following the brave acts and misfortunes of a group of poets –three men and three women, whose destinies are more closely connected than they themselves can know, in their attempts to deal with the risks of London literary society.

Britain Against Napoleon

 This book describes how the British state successfully organized itself to overcome Napoleon.

For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme(最优的) in continental Europe, and the British population lived in fear of French invasion(人侵). How did Britain survive and win a generation-long war against a country which at its peak commanded many times Britain’s own resources and manpower?

 In “Britain Against Napoleon”, Roger Knight looks beyond the familiar bravery of the army and navy to the politicians and civil servants, and examines how they made it possible to continue the war.

The Beau Monde

 Hannah Greig’s “The Beau Monde” tells the story of the world’s first fashion-obsessed(痴迷于时尚的) society in eighteenth-century London and takes us on a tour from court and Parliament (约会) to Georgian London’s parks, pleasure grounds and private homes, meeting a rich and colorful cast of contemporary characters along the way. It reveals the secrets of how membership of the new elite(精英) was won, maintained and sometimes lost. This book also shows how being fashionable was the key to power in a new social order.
