What a 17 _ that your letter with the newspaper clipping “Riches of the Sea” arrived the same day the science department here a lecture on oceanography! I planed to go to a movie that night, but after I had got your letter I decided t

9、o attend the lecture instead, and I was 18 _ glad I did. As you know, what I wanted to do after I finished school has never been very clear to me. Day always wants me to be a teacher but now I believe I liked to be anoceanographer. Until the lecture, I always had thought of the ocean as just a vast

10、body of water where one swam, rode the surf, or took a ship for some far-off place. Dr Brown, the 19 _ , made me realize that the ocean was a great new frontier, with untold potential as a source of food and of other products 20 _ to mankind.He talked about the new developments taking place in ocean

11、 research these days. I will try to give you a brief summary of some of the things he mentioned. Part Reading Comprehension（35 minutes） There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A）, B）, C）

12、 and D）. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. If, at the end of a conversation somebody says to me, “as soon as I know, Ill ring you up”, he is talking

13、too much for granted. He is proposing to attempt the impossible. So I have to say, “Im afraid you cant. You see. Im not on the telephone. I just havent got a telephone.” Why dont you have a telephone? Not because I pretend to be wise or pose as unusual. There are two chief reasons: because I dont re

14、ally like the telephone I find I can still work and play, eat, breathe and sleep without it. Why dont I like the telephone? Because I think it is a pest and a time-waster. It may create unnecessary suspense and anxiety, as when you wait for an expected call that doesnt come; or irritating delay, as

15、when you keep ringing a number that is always engaged. As for speaking in a public telephone box, which seems to me really horrible. You would not use it unless you were in a hurry, and because you are in a hurry you will find other people waiting before you. When you do get into the box, you are ha

16、lf asphyxiated by stale, unventilated air, flavored with cheap face-powder and chain-smoking; and by the time you have begun your conversation yourback is chilled by the cold look of somebody who is fidgeting to take your place. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends

17、 to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath.Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself, “Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years time.You are n

18、ot. You think there may be some important news or message for you. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?Suppose you ignore the telephone when it rings, and suppose that, for once, somebody has an i

19、mportant message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Think of the proverb: “ill newstravels apace.” I must say good news seems to travel just as fast. And think ofthe saying: “the truth will out.” It will. 21. The write does not like tel

20、ephone in a public telephone box, because_. A） unventilated air B） it is far from his home C） it is not convenient D） he must pay for it 22.

22、ar. D） The truth will be hidden. 24.

C） The writer does not like the telephone at all. D） P

23、eople can live a normal life without a telephone. 25. What kind of person do you think the writer is?A） Eccentric. B） Modern. C） Realistic. D） Idealistic. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Spending time in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely

24、go there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible, although this method of selec

25、tion ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spend too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment-without buying a book, of course. Th

26、is opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such placesto your hearts content. If it is a good shop, no assistant wil

27、l approach you with the inevitable greeting: “can I help you, sir?” You neednt buy anything youdont want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particul

28、ar section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book. You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say, ancient c

29、oins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing-something which had only vaguely interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting,

30、that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section. Book-seller must be both long-suffering and indulgent. There is a story which well illustrates this. A medical student had to read a text-book which was far tooexpensive for him to buy. He couldnt obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in his bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. On
