Passage 1
When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious question. “Why did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. What was surprising was that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. Although cities are often regarded as unhealthy places, city living provides benefits that country living may lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity (长寿) of those interviewed.
This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so many people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no choice but to walk.
On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.

Passage 3
The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible effect. The first sight of you burns its way into your new acquaintance’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.
Artists are something able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone and other popular publications. Robert has a unique gift for capturing not only the physical appearance of his subjects, but zeroing in on the essence of their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad(素描本). One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see, for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishness of Clinton, the awkwardness of George Bush.
Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he’s finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the subject’s face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, “well, er, that is great. But it really is not me.” The crowd’s convincing echo of “Oh, yes, it is!” drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at the world’s view of himself or herself on the napkin. Once I asked Robert how he could capture people’s personalities so well. He said, “It is simple. I just look at them.” Almost every side of people’s personalities is evident from their appearance, their gesture, the way they move.
First impressions are incredible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard us every second, people’s heads are spinning. They must form quick judgments to make sense of the world and get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you, they take an instant mental snapshot. That image of you becomes the data that they deal with for a long time.
51. People usually get the first impression of a person through ________.
A. reading an article about him or her in a famous magazine
B. getting acquainted with his or her best friends
C. taking a brief look at his or her appearance
D. studying his or her personality carefully
52. Why does the author say that Robert has a unique gift?
A. He can draw the subject carefully.
B. He can memorize the names of people instantly.
C. He can illustrate the subject’s characteristics.
D. He can communicate with famous people effectively.
53. What does the phrase “zeroing in on” most probably mean?
A. relying on B. responding on C. acknowledging on D. grasping
54. The puzzled look on the subject’s face suggests that ________.
A. the artist’s drawing is out of subject’s expectation
B. the crowd treated the subject rudely
C. the artist failed to show his respect for the subject
D. the image of the drawing was too real to believe
55. We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A. one should never trust a person by his or her appearance
B. the first impression usually has a long lasting influence
C. the judgment based on the first impression is always reliable
D. we can no longer make any sense of the information at hand
Passage 4
One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that.”
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighbourhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg boxes. Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen boxes. The boxes were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of boxes. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the boxes to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as if I was the culprit(做错事的人). He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I tried to explain it wasn’t me who had broken them, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, obviously the manager did not.
56. How old was the author when he wrote this article?
A. About 8. B. About 18. C. About 23. D. About 15.
57. Who was to blame for knocking off the stacks of boxes?
A. The author. B. The manager. C. A woman. D. The author’s mother.
58. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. The woman who knocked off the stacks of boxes was seriously criticized by the manager.
B. The author was severely criticized by the manager.
C. A woman carelessly knocked off the slacks of boxes.
D. It was the author who put the display back together.
59. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?
A. It’s Harder to Admit One’s Mistake. B. I Was Once the Culprit.
C. I Remember an Incident. D. A Case of Mistaken Identity.
60. The tone of the article expresses the author’s ________.
A. admiration for the manager’s willingness to admit mistakes
B. anger to the manager for his wrong accusation
C. indignation against the woman who knocked off the stacks of boxes
D. regret for the mistake he made in the store
Passage 5
A letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives(档案馆)by the FBI after being stolen twice.
“We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing,” says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Smithsonian Institution Archives. “It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern(实习生), from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes,” and the intern put the letter back. “The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.”
Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington, D.C. Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian’s property.
The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the region that would become Yellowstone National Park.
The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. “It was luckily in good shape,” says Kapsalis, “and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.”
It would now be difficult for an intern, visitor or a thief to steal a document like this. “Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s,” says Kapsalis, “and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don’t even have access to.”
61. What happened to Darwin’s letter in the 1970s?
A. It was recovered by the FBI.
B. It was stolen more than once.
C. It was put in the archives for research purposes.
D. It was purchased by the Smithsonian Archives.
62. What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter?
A. They pressed criminal charges in vain.
B. They kept it in a special safe.
C. They arrested the suspect immediately.
D. They proved its authenticity.
63. What is Darwin’s letter about?
A. The evolution of Yellowstone National Park.
B. His cooperation with an American geologist.
C. Some geological evidence supporting his theory.
D. His acknowledgement of help from a professional.
64. What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?
A. Reserve it for research purposes only.
B. Turn it into an object of high interest.
C. Keep it a permanent secret.
D. Make it available online.
65. What has the past half century witnessed according to Kapsalis?
A. Growing interest in rare art objects.
B. Radical changes in archiving practices.
C. Recovery of various missing documents.
D. Increases in the value of museum exhibits.
