Passage 2
When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry. Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted. Then people who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism(散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts(白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
46. We should take good care of our eyes ________.
A. only when we can see well B. only when we cannot see perfectly
C. even if we can see well D. only when we realize how important our eyes are
47. When things far away seem indistinct, one is probably ________.
A. near-sighted B. far-sighted C. astigmatic D. suffering from cataracts
48. The underlined word blurry in the second paragraph probably means ________.
A. obvious B. possible C. clear D. unclear
49. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for ________.
A. seeing at night B. seeing objects far away
C. looking over a wide area D. judging distances
50. People who suffer from astigmatism have ________.
A. one eye bigger than the other
B. eyes that are not exactly the right shape
C. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operation
D. an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses

Passage 4
The most important use of drifting bottles is to find ocean currents. When the position and direction of currents are known, ships can use the forward movement of a current or stay away from currents that would carry them off their course. Benjamin Franklin was one of the first to use bottles in the study of currents. He wondered why British mall ships needed a week or two longer than U.S. ships needed in order to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Franklin thought the Gulf Stream(墨西哥湾流)might explain this difference.
Franklin talked with captains of U.S. ships. He found that they knew each turn of the Gulf Stream. They used the current in every possible way. From his talks with the captains. Franklin made his first map of the Gulf Stream. Then he checked his map by using sealed(密封的)bottles. The map that he finally made is still used, with only a few changes, today.

Passage 5
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a fiend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s already too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. But there’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may he saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. 1t could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for a Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture(姿态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
61. According to the passage, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that ________.
A. even friends are annoyed when we check what they say
B. people usually state one thing and means another
C. we fail to listen carefully when other talk
D. we tend to doubt what our friends say
62. “You’re a lucky dog” probably conveys the meaning that ________.
A. you’re a friendly person B. you’re envious of others
C. you do not deserve the luck D. you should thank others for your luck
63. In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.”(Para. 2), “it” refers to ________.
A. being friendly B. a bit of envy C. lucky dog D. your luck
64. According to the last paragraph what can you do to save another mistake?
A. Spend time thinking about what people really mean.
B. Take a good look at the person talking.
C. Focus on the look in the speaker’s eyes.
D. Try to catch every word of the speaker.
65. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. why we misunderstand what people say
B. how to behave when we listen to others
C. why we sometimes go wrong with our friends or enemies
D. how to avoid mistakes when we communicate with people
