A famous scientist who had made an important medical breakthrough was being
interviewed. A newspaper reporter asked him why he thought he was able to be 26
more creative than the average person.
He said that it all came from a(n) 27 that occurred when
he was about two years old . He was trying to 28 a bottle
of milk from the refrigerator 29 he lost his grip on the
slippery bottle and it fell, spilling the milk all 30
the floor.
His mother came into the kitchen. 31 yelling at him,
giving him a lecture or 32 him, she said, “Robert, what

seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the 34 has already
been done. Would you like to get 35 and play in the sea
of milk for a few minutes before we clean it up ?”
This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment 36
he knew he didn’t need to be 37 to make mistakes. Instead, he
learned that mistakes were just 38 for learning something
new, which is, after all, what 39 experiments are all
about. Even if the experiment doesn’t 40 , we usually learn something from it.

Read the two passages and answer the questions. (10 points)
Passage 1
Jungle country is not friendly to man, but it is possible to survive there. You
must have the right equipment and you must know a few important things about
woodcraft.
No one should go into the jungle without the right equipment. You need
lightweight clothing, a good knife, and a compass. Fishhooks and a line, a rifle
and ammunition(弹药),
matches in a waterproof container are necessary too. So is a mosquito net.
In the jungle you can get hopelessly lost within five minutes after leaving a
known landmark. That is why you should always carry a compass. In open country,
during the day, you can tell which way to go by studying the sun. At night the
stars are sure guides to direction . But in most places the jungle rooftop is so
thick that it is impossible to see the sun or the stars.
Keep alert. Watch the ground in front of you carefully. Stop and listen now and
again. Avoid haste, and rest often. You will soon become exhausted if you set a
fast pace in a hot and humid place. A steady and even pace is wisest in the long
run.
Keep calm if you lose your way. Try to decide how long it has been since you
were sure of your position. Cut marks on four sides of a tree , so that you will
be able to see them from any direction. Except in an emergency, never try to
travel through the jungle at night.
Whenever possible, it is wise to follow streams and rivers that run in your
general direction. This may give you many extra miles of travel. But in the end
it will save time and energy. Nothing is more exhausting than hacking a trail
cross-country through unbroken jungle. Bamboo grows along the banks of many
jungle streams. Since it is hollow and extremely strong, it makes a perfect
raft.
Mosquitoes and some other insects will be with you all the time .The only
defense against them is to wear the right kind of clothing. You should never
wear shorts in the jungle. Your trousers must be lightweight and long. The
cuffs(裤管口)should
be tucked into your boot tops.
Finding water that is safe to drink can be a problem. Many clear and
fresh-looking streams and rivers carry deadly germs. Such water must always be
boiled before you drink it . Luckily, the jungle has many kinds of plants and
vines that give water. Water from almost all plants is pure enough to drink. But
stay away from vines that have bitter or milky sap(树液).
Many jungle plants also provide food. Before you go into the jungle, learn to
recognize the varieties of plants that can be eaten. If you haven’t had a
chance to do this, watch what kinds of fruit and nut the birds and monkeys
choose. Such food is almost always safe for man. When you see an animal in the
jungle, you can be sure that the source of food is somewhere close by. That
source may mean for you a difference between going to sleep well-fed or hungry.
Surviving in the jungle is a science. The jungle people have become perfect in
this science, and you can too. Learn as much as you can about what to expect in
the jungle. Make sure you have the right equipment. Then no part of the jungle
will seem unfriendly or frightening. In fact, you will be able to “live off”
it for a long time.
51.For checking your position in the jungle you should rely on
A. direction sense.
B. known landmarks.
C. the sun and stars.
D. a compass.
52.In moving through the jungle you should
A. set a fairly rapid pace.
B. stop and rest often.
C. retrace your steps from time to time.
D. study the sun whenever you can.
53.The author advises against traveling at night probably because
A. one tends to move too slowly at night.
B. emergencies occur most frequently at night.
C. it is difficult to check your position then.
D. there is always a danger of panic in darkness.
54.Following streams and rivers will help you to
A. save many extra miles of travel.
B. keep away from dangerous animals.
C. avoid crossing unbroken stretches of jungle.
D. have a constant source of drinking water.
55.The best way to be sure of enough food in the jungle is to
A. learn ahead of time what plants can be eaten.
B. catch those animals other animals prey on.
C. travel only along streams and rivers.
D. watch the animals’ eating habits.
Passage 2
It was unfortunate that, after so trouble-free an arrival, he should stumble(磕绊)
in the dark as he was rising and severely twist his ankle on a piece of rock.
After the first shock the pain became bearable, and he gathered up his
parachute(降落伞)
before limping into the trees to hide it as best as he could. The hard ground
and the deep darkness made it almost impossible to do this efficiently. The pine
needles lay several inches deep, so he simply piled them on top of the
parachute, cutting the short twigs that he could feel around his legs, and
spreading them on top of the needles. He was not sure if it would stay buried,
but he could do nothing else about it.
After limping for some distance from his parachute he began to make his way
downhill through the trees. He had to find out where he was, and then decide
what to do next. But walking downhill on a rapidly swelling ankle soon proved to
be almost beyond his power. He dragged his legs with increasing difficulty,
walking in long side-way movements across the slope, which meant taking more
steps but less painful ones. By the time he cleared the trees and reached the
valley, day was breaking. Mist hung in soft sheets across the fields. Small
cottages and farm houses grouped around a village church, the spire(尖顶)
on its top pointing high into the cold winter air to greet the morning.
“I can’t go much further,” John Harding thought. “Someone is bound to
find me. What can I do? I must get a rest before I go on. They’ll look for me
high up there in the mountains where the plane crashed. I bet they’re out
looking for it already. They’re sure to find the chute in the end. So
they’ll know I wasn’t killed and must be somewhere. They’ll think I’m
hiding up there in the trees and rocks and look for me there. I’ll go down to
the village. If I’m lucky my foot will be good enough by the evening and I can
manage to get to the border.”
He could hear the faint echoes of voices far above him on the mountainside,
startling him after great silence. Looking up, he saw lights like pinpoints
moving across the face of the mountain in the gray light. The road was deserted,
and he struggled along, still almost invisible in the first light, easing his
aching foot wherever he could, avoiding stones and rough places, and limping
quietly and painfully towards the village. He reached the church at last. A
great need for peace almost drew him inside, but he knew that would not do ,
Instead, he limped along its walls towards a very old building a short distance
from the church. It seemed to have stood there forever, as if it had grown out
of the hillside. It had the same air of timelessness as the church. John Harding
pushed open the heavy wooden door and slipped inside.
56. In spite of his bad ankle Harding was able to
A. walk in a direction that was less steep.
B. bear the pain without changing direction.
C. bury his parachute perfectly in a safe place.
D. check the surroundings and locate where he was.
57. Why was his attention drawn to the mountain again?
A. He was surprised to notice some torches moving around.
B. He was astonished to hear some voices far away.
C. He could see the searcher’s faces in spite of the poor light.
D. He could feel a shower of small rocks falling from above.
58. Which of the following do you think John Harding was?
A. An escaped prisoner trying to hide away.
B. A criminal on the run from the police.
C. An airman landing in an enemy country area.
D. A spy in search of an important person.
59. Harding’s plan was
A. to cross the border as soon as possible.
B. to rest in the church as long as he could.
C. to have his injured foot treated.
D. to stay in the village for the day.
60. We can tell from the story that
A. Harding had a cool head in emergency.
B. Harding was strongly against war.
C. the plane crash took place at dawn.
D. it was unwise to bury the chute
