Stories Behind Famous Company Names
Inventor Caleb Bradham had originally wanted to be a doctor but started working in a drug store when he returned home in North Carolina. In 1893 he made up (配制) what he first called “Brad’s Drink”, a mix of water, caramel, lemon oil and other flavors. Five years later, he renamed it Pepsi-Cola. He claimed the drink could help with digestion (消化). Afterwards, Bradham changed the term into the name Pepsi.
This luxury car-maker combined elements (要素) from the Ford and Oldsmobile companies when it was started in 1902 and later became known for its innovation and high quality. The company was named after the French explorer Cadillac, who founded the city of Detroit in 1701.
Company co-founder Gordon Bowker has said that while brainstorming names, someone brought out a map that featured the old mining town of Starbo. That may have led him to think of Starbuck, the first mate (大副) in Herman Melville’s famous novel, Moby Dick. Not only the company name but also the origin of its logo has aroused great curiosity.
The inventor of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, was expecting to make an elegant, yet precise, wristwatch. He wanted a name that was easy to say, could work in different languages, and look good on the watches. He chose Rolex in 1908 after some consideration.
21. Who started to build a city at the beginning of the 18th century?

Growing up on a remote Michigan farm, Henry Ford knew little of all this — but he soon showed his interest more in the industrial future than in the agricultural past. His father, William, hoped his eldest son would join him on the farm, and finally take it over. But Henry hated farm work and did everything he could to avoid it. It was not that he was lazy but that the repeated daily life of the farm upset him.
If given a mechanical (机械的) job to do, he would be set to work eagerly. When he was twelve, he became almost uncontrollably interested in clocks and watches. Soon he was repairing clocks and watches for friends.
In 1876, his wife died in childbirth. Henry suffered a blow and decided to get away from the farm as soon as he could. Three years later, he worked as a mechanic in Detroit. One day in 1877, when he first saw a steam-driven locomotive (蒸汽机车), Henry went to the locomotive driver and asked him plenty of questions about the engine’s performance. From then on, Henry became crazy about steam engines. Later, with the help of an old co-worker, Henry got an engineer position at the Edison Detroit Electricity Company.
Although Henry quickly became chief engineer at the Detroit power factory, his interest in fuel engines took up his life. He spent most of his spare time trying to build an engine according to his own design. Henry went through the hard way to build an engine by hand from the beginning. It was two years before he succeeded in building a working car. It was unattractive-looking on bicycle wheels and driven by a rubber belt that connected the engine. Henry called it the “Quadricycle (四轮自行车)”.
24. What appealed to Henry Ford most when he was very young?
A. Sports. B. Farm work. C. Machines. D. Art.
25. How did Ford’s wife lose her life?
A. When she was giving birth. B. Because of a serious disease.
C. Owing to a psychological problem. D. When she was experiencing a natural disaster.
26. When did Ford become mad about steam engines?
A. Before he went to university to learn machinery.
B. Before he got an engineer position at a company.
C. After he made friends with the locomotive driver.
D. After he asked some questions about a locomotive.
27. What part of the working car is mentioned (提到) in the last paragraph?
A. Objects that people can sit on in a vehicle.
B. An object in a vehicle that can make it go slower or stop.
C. Round objects under a vehicle that can turn when it moves.
D. An object a driver can turn to control the direction that a vehicle goes in.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】

【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“One day in 1877, when he first saw a steam-driven locomotive, Henry went to the locomotive driver and asked him plenty of questions about the engine’s performance. From then on, Henry became crazy about steam engines.(1877年的一天,当他第一次看到蒸汽驱动的机车时,亨利走到机车司机面前,问了他很多关于发动机性能的问题。从那时起,亨利对蒸汽机着迷了)”可知,福特是在问了一些关于火车的问题之后对蒸汽机着迷的。故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It was two years before he succeeded in building a working car. It was unattractive-looking on bicycle wheels and driven by a rubber belt that connected the engine. Henry called it the “Quadricycle (过了两年他才成功地造出了一辆可以工作的汽车。四轮自行车)”.(它装在自行车轮子上,由连接引擎的橡胶带驱动,看起来并不好看。亨利称它为“四轮车”)”可知,此处提到了最初汽车使用的轮子,即车辆下方的在移动时可以转动的圆形物体。故选C。
C
As the world tries to give up fossil fuels, there is a lot of focus on renewable energy sources like wind and solar energy. But one very promising source of energy comes from deep inside the earth. And old oil wells could help greatly in developing and using this energy resource.
“Geothermal (地热的) ” power is based on the heat that comes from deep inside the earth. “Geo” means Earth and “thermal” means “heat”. Earth’s core, deep in the center of the planet, is about as hot as the sun’s surface, and is expected to stay that way for billions of years. This heat slowly makes its way outward from the core. In some places, where the rocks have lots of holes in them, this heat comes out in different kinds of hot springs, with hot water and steam coming out naturally through the earth’s surface. In areas like this, humans have been using the earth’s heat for different purposes for hundreds of years.
In general, though geothermal energy requires drilling (钻孔) deep into the earth. There are many different ways of collecting the heat and different ways of using it. But these geothermal wells can easily produce huge amounts of heat and electricity for hundreds of years — all without pollution.
There is another positive side to geothermal energy — it can produce power day and night all year long. Solar power depends on the sun, and wind power depends on wind. That means that they are not constant. But energy from geothermal sources is always available (可获得的) . However, geothermal energy also faces a big challenge — drilling down deep enough to create a geothermal plant is hard, and it costs a lot of money. Some geothermal plants require drilling down more than 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) below the earth’s surface. Drilling down even deeper can lead to much more heat and far more powerful energy sources.
The costs of all this drilling are a big part of what has limited geothermal projects But now people are starting to think about a clever idea that could make geothermal energy far cheaper: using oil wells that are already there.
28. What can be learned about geothermal energy from the text?
A. It is collected from the depths of the earth. B. It doesn’t belong to renewable energy.
C. It has only been used for a century. D. It can be got from fossil fuels.
29. What might NOT be the advantage of geothermal energy?
A. Various ways of using it. B. Available all the time.
C. Environmentally friendly. D. Cheap and easy to collect.
30. What does the underlined word “That” in Para. 4 refer to?
A. What effects geothermal energy has on our lives.
B. How solar energy and wind energy are stored.
C. What solar power and wind power rely on.
D. How geothermal energy can be used.
31. Why are people turning to oil wells for geothermal energy?
A. To reduce the costs. B. To limit geothermal projects.
C. To take care of the environment. D. To try to save and make full use of energy.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地热能这种可再生能源的来源、利用方式、优势以及面临的挑战,并提到了一种利用现有油井来降低地热能开采成本的新思路。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段““Geothermal (地热的) ” power is based on the heat that comes from deep inside the earth.(地热能是基于来自地球深处的热量。)”可知,地热能是从地球深处收集的。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In general, though geothermal energy requires drilling (钻孔) deep into the earth. There are many different ways of collecting the heat and different ways of using it. But these geothermal wells can easily produce huge amounts of heat and electricity for hundreds of years—all without pollution(一般来说,尽管地热能需要深入地球进行钻探。收集热量和使用热量的方法有很多种。但这些地热井可以毫不费力地为数百年提供大量的热量和电力——而且完全没有污染)”可知,地热能的优点包括使用它的各种方式、随时可用以及环保,因此选项A、B、C都是地热能的优点;根据文章第四段“However, geothermal energy also faces a big challenge— drilling down deep enough to create a geothermal plant is hard, and it costs a lot of money(然而,地热能也面临着一个巨大的挑战——钻探足够深以建造一个地热发电厂是困难的,而且需要花费大量的金钱)”可知,地热能的收集并不容易且成本很高,所以选项D不是地热能的优点。故选D。
30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Solar power depends on the sun, and wind power depends on wind. That means that they are not constant(太阳能依赖于太阳,风能依赖于风。这意味着它们不是恒定的)”可知,That指代的是前面两句话的内容,即“太阳能依赖于太阳,风能依赖于风”,也就是太阳能和风能所依赖的东西。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The costs of all this drilling are a big part of what has limited geothermal projects. But now people are starting to think about a clever idea that could make geothermal energy far cheaper: using oil wells that are already there(所有这些钻探的成本是限制地热项目的一个重要因素。但现在人们开始考虑一个可以使地热能便宜得多的聪明想法:利用已经存在的油井)”可知,人们转向油井来获取地热能是为了降低成本。故选A。
D
Thomas Scovel, one of the first professors from the United States to teach at a Chinese university, returned to his old school recently to make a donation (捐赠) for one of his former students.
Scovel was actually born in Jining, Shandong province, in 1939 as the son of a doctor from America and later returned to the US. He came back to China in 1979 to take up a teaching position at Tianjin Foreign Studies University.
The former professor, who has written a book about the great changes that have taken place in China since reform and opening-up was introduced in 1978, took to the stage at the university’s 60th anniversary celebration on Sept 28 to present a check for 2.2 million yuan ($300,000) to the university for his former student Yang Bin. The donation will go toward a kind of scholarship (奖学金) and awards for teachers, and adds to an earlier 2 million yuan donated by Yang in 2014. The cash was paid to students as awards for exhibiting exceptional leadership, athletic skills and a spirit of being helpful and generous. For the teaching awards, they have been named after Scovel and his wife Janene, who also taught at the university.
Zhou Honglei, the university’s leader, recognized Scovel as “one of the first foreign professors to journey from the US to China”. Scovel wrote a message for the university’s 60th anniversary celebration, reflecting on the late 1970s when China began its journey of reform and opening-up. From 1979 on, Scovel only returned to the university in 2014 for its 50th anniversary.
In one of his writings, he remembered encountering a short political phrase put up on the wall promoting the then popular “four modernizations” on a billboard, which read, “Catch up with and overtake Japan by the Year 2000! ” “Little did I know that not long after the new millennium (千年), China would far overtake Japan in terms of exports to the US,” he said.
Scovel noted the significant changes in China since 1978. “Forty years ago, it was almost unimaginable that, in today’s China, numerous people would have their own houses, have a car and that phones would be more common than fountain pens,” he said.
32. What can we know about Thomas Scovel?
A. He has completed a book about his family.
B. He has mostly lived in China since 1979.
C. He once worked as a doctor.
D. He is in his eighties now.
33. Why did Yang Bin donate the money to the university?
A. To reward teachers and students.
B. To purchase some teaching equipment.
C. To offer poor students some education fees.
D. To help with the construction of some buildings.
34. What does the underlined word “encountering” in the fifth paragraph mean?
A. Depending on. B. Coming across. C. Breaking into. D. Turning in.
35. What is a suitable title for the news report?
A. US professor describes great changes in China since 1978
B. Scovel writes a message for university’s 60th anniversary
C. US professor makes speeches at Tianjin Foreign Studies University
D. Scovel takes up a teaching position at Tianjin Foreign Studies University
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述的是美国教授托马斯·斯科维尔重返中国高校,为其曾教过的学生捐赠奖学金,并回顾了自1978年中国改革开放以来的巨大变迁。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Scovel was actually born in Jining, Shandong province, in 1939 as the son of a doctor from America and later returned to the US.(斯科维尔1939年出生于山东省济宁市,父亲是一名美国医生,后来回到美国。)”可知,关于托马斯·斯科维尔我们能知道他现在八十多岁了。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The donation will go toward a kind of scholarship (奖学金) and awards for teachers, and adds to an earlier 2 million yuan donated by Yang in 2014. The cash was paid to students as awards for exhibiting exceptional leadership, athletic skills and a spirit of being helpful and generous.(这笔捐款将用于教师奖学金和奖励,这是杨先生在2014年捐赠的200万元的基础上的又一笔捐款。这笔钱是作为对表现出卓越领导能力、运动技能以及乐于助人和慷慨精神的学生的奖励。)”可知,杨先生把钱捐给学校是为了奖励老师和学生。故选A项。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“…a short political phrase put up on the wall promoting the then popular “four modernizations” on a billboard, which read, “Catch up with and overtake Japan by the Year 2000! ”(……一个简短的政治标语,用来宣传当时流行的“四个现代化”,上面写着:“到2000年赶上并超过日本!”他说:“我一点也不知道,在新千年之后不久,中国对美国的出口将远远超过日本。”)”由此可知,此处为他记得在一个广告牌上看到了一个简短的政治标语。故可猜测划线单词encountering为“看到”的意思,和B选项Coming across“偶遇”意思相近。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文,尤其是第三段中“The former professor, who has written a book about the great changes that have taken place in China since reform and opening-up was introduced in 1978(这位前教授写了一本关于中国自1978年改革开放以来发生的巨大变化的书)”和第四段以及最后一段中的“Scovel noted the significant changes in China since 1978.(斯科维尔指出,中国自1978年以来发生了重大变化。)”可知,这篇新闻报道的合适标题是“一位美国教授描述了1978年以来中国的巨大变化”。故选A项。

【36题详解】
根据上文“How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again? (有多少次我们听到孩子们希望自己长大了,老人希望自己再年轻?)以及下文“The happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time on useless regrets. (最幸福的人是享受每个年龄给他的东西,而不是把时间浪费在无谓的后悔上。)”可知,上文提到孩子希望长大,老人希望年轻,下文讲述不同年龄段的快乐与痛苦,B选项Each age has its pleasures and its pains. (每个年龄段都有它的快乐和痛苦。)可知,起到上下文的承上启下作用,符合语境。故选B项。

根据上文“It is impossible that he will ever again in his future life be given so much without having to do anything in return. (在他未来的生活中,他不可能再得到这么多而不需要做任何回报。)”以及下文“things older people have lost interest in because they are too common. (老年人已经对这些东西失去了兴趣,因为它们太常见了。)”可知,上文说孩子在童年被给予很多却无需回报,下文提到老人失去兴趣的事物,E选项Besides, life is always presenting new things to the child. (此外,生活总是给孩子呈现新事物。)可知,说明孩子童年除了被照顾,还能接触新事物,衔接自然,上下文语意连贯。故选E项。
【38题详解】

根据上文“When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room. (当一个年轻人开始自己谋生时,他就不能再指望别人为他的衣食住行买单了。)”可知,前文说年轻人开始自己谋生,就不能指望别人为他支付生活费用,D选项He has to work if he wants to live comfortably. (如果他想生活舒适,就必须工作。)可知,说明年轻人需要工作来维持生活,承接上文内容,为对上文内容的语意递进。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. (如果他违反社会的法律,就像他曾经违反他父母的法律一样,他可能会进监狱。)”可知,前文提到年轻人若不努力工作或违法会面临不好的结果,此句用but转折,G选项He can have the great happiness of setting up his own position in society.

I remember the day ____56____ I first learned to ride a bike. From my point of view, it was a very adventurous yet fun experience. My grandfather, who had green fingers, was the one that taught me to ride and gave me a hand when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and everything went wrong. My grandfather told me to just put my feet on the pedals (脚蹬) and start cycling. I kept his advice in mind. He also told me he would hold on to the back of the bike the whole time ____57____ case I might fall off the bike. I made an assumption that he would do that, yet actually he didn’t.
As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let the bike go. I happened to look back just then. When I was quite frightened, my mind went blank, and I just wanted to be off the bike. I forgot how to use the brakes (车闸). That caused me to fall off the bike. At ____58____ sight of that, my grandfather came up and kept encouraging me to get up and try again. I admitted ____59____ (feel) so nervous.
As soon as I started riding again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. I didn’t make a ____60____ (complain) and asked my grandfather, “____61____I go on learning to ride today?” My grandfather said, “No, you needn’t. So far you ____62____ (finish) your training. Let’s call it a day, shall we? You may as well rise early tomorrow morning.” The next morning I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better and I became rather ____63____(energy) again. I did my best to prevent myself from falling down to the ground anymore. My strong determination was to make an effort to learn to ride my bike skillfully. ____64____ (eventual), I managed ____65____ (ride) the bike better.

【62题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,你已经完成了训练。根据时间状语So far可知,此处使用现在完成时,主语为you,助动词用have。故填have finished。
【63题详解】

How are you doing recently? Glad to receive your email asking about how to get on well with others. As we all know, interpersonal communication is an ability that everyone should have. Here are my suggestions.

In my opinion, we should treat others in an honest way.
Only in this way can we get along well with each other and feel happy. Hope that my advice above can benefit you a lot.
Yours,
Li Hua

Stories Behind Famous Company Names
Inventor Caleb Bradham had originally wanted to be a doctor but started working in a drug store when he returned home in North Carolina. In 1893, he made up (配制) what he first called “Brad’s Drink”, a mix of water, caramel, lemon oil and other flavors. Five years later, he renamed it Pepsi-Cola. He claimed the drink could help with digestion (消化). Afterwards, Bradham changed the term into the name Pepsi.
This luxury car-maker combined elements (要素) from the Ford and Oldsmobile companies when it was started in 1902 and later became known for its innovation and high quality. The company was named after the French explorer Cadillac, who founded the city of Detroit in 1701.
Company co-founder Gordon Bowker has said that while brainstorming names, someone brought out a map that featured the old mining town of Starbo. That may have led him to think of Starbuck, the first mate (大副) in Herman Melville’s famous novel, Moby Dick. Not only the company name but also the origin of its logo has aroused great curiosity.
The inventor of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, was expecting to make an elegant, yet precise, wristwatch. He wanted a name that was easy to say, could work in different languages, and look good on the watches. He chose Rolex in 1908 after some consideration.
21. Who started to build a city at the beginning of the 18th century?
A. Caleb Bradham. B. Gordeon Bowker.
C. Cadillac. D. Hans Wilsdorf.

Growing up on a remote Michigan farm, Henry Ford knew little of all this — but he soon showed his interest more in the industrial future than in the agricultural past. His father, William, hoped his eldest son would join him on the farm, and finally take it over. But Henry hated farm work and did everything he could to avoid it. It was not that he was lazy but that the repeated daily life of the farm upset him.
If given a mechanical (机械的) job to do, he would be set to work eagerly. When he was twelve, he became almost uncontrollably interested in clocks and watches. Soon he was repairing clocks and watches for friends.
In 1876, his wife died in childbirth. Henry suffered a blow and decided to get away from the farm as soon as he could. Three years later, he worked as a mechanic in Detroit. One day in 1877, when he first saw a steam-driven locomotive (蒸汽机车), Henry went to the locomotive driver and asked him plenty of questions about the engine’s performance. From then on, Henry became crazy about steam engines. Later, with the help of an old co-worker, Henry got an engineer position at the Edison Detroit Electricity Company.
Although Henry quickly became chief engineer at the Detroit power factory, his interest in fuel engines took up his life. He spent most of his spare time trying to build an engine according to his own design. Henry went through the hard way to build an engine by hand from the beginning. It was two years before he succeeded in building a working car. It was unattractive-looking on bicycle wheels and driven by a rubber belt that connected the engine. Henry called it the “Quadricycle (四轮自行车)”.
24. What appealed to Henry Ford most when he was very young?
A. Sports. B. Farm work. C. Machines. D. Art.
25. How did Ford’s wife lose her life?
A. When she was giving birth. B. Because of a serious disease.
C. Owing to a psychological problem. D. When she was experiencing a natural disaster.
26. When did Ford become mad about steam engines?
A. Before he went to university to learn machinery.
B. Before he got an engineer position at a company.
C. After he made friends with the locomotive driver.
D. After he asked some questions about a locomotive.
27. What part of the working car is mentioned (提到) in the last paragraph?
A. Objects that people can sit on in a vehicle.
B. An object in a vehicle that can make it go slower or stop.
C. Round objects under a vehicle that can turn when it moves.
D. An object a driver can turn to control the direction that a vehicle goes in.

As the world tries to give up fossil fuels, there is a lot of focus on renewable energy sources like wind and solar energy. But one very promising source of energy comes from deep inside the earth. And old oil wells could help greatly in developing and using this energy resource.
“Geothermal (地热的) ” power is based on the heat that comes from deep inside the earth. “Geo” means Earth and “thermal” means “heat”. Earth’s core, deep in the center of the planet, is about as hot as the sun’s surface, and is expected to stay that way for billions of years. This heat slowly makes its way outward from the core. In some places, where the rocks have lots of holes in them, this heat comes out in different kinds of hot springs, with hot water and steam coming out naturally through the earth’s surface. In areas like this, humans have been using the earth’s heat for different purposes for hundreds of years.
In general, though geothermal energy requires drilling (钻孔) deep into the earth. There are many different ways of collecting the heat and different ways of using it. But these geothermal wells can easily produce huge amounts of heat and electricity for hundreds of years — all without pollution.
There is another positive side to geothermal energy — it can produce power day and night all year long. Solar power depends on the sun, and wind power depends on wind. That means that they are not constant. But energy from geothermal sources is always available (可获得的) . However, geothermal energy also faces a big challenge — drilling down deep enough to create a geothermal plant is hard, and it costs a lot of money. Some geothermal plants require drilling down more than 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) below the earth’s surface. Drilling down even deeper can lead to much more heat and far more powerful energy sources.
The costs of all this drilling are a big part of what has limited geothermal projects. But now people are starting to think about a clever idea that could make geothermal energy far cheaper: using oil wells that are already there.
28. What can be learned about geothermal energy from the text?
A. It is collected from the depths of the earth. B. It doesn’t belong to renewable energy.
C. It has only been used for a century. D. It can be got from fossil fuels.
29. What might NOT be the advantage of geothermal energy?
A. Various ways of using it. B. Available all the time.
C. Environmentally friendly. D. Cheap and easy to collect.
30 What does the underlined word “That” in Para. 4 refer to?
A. What effects geothermal energy has on our lives.
B. How solar energy and wind energy are stored.
C. What solar power and wind power rely on.
D. How geothermal energy can be used.
31. Why are people turning to oil wells for geothermal energy?
A. To reduce the costs. B. To limit geothermal projects.
C. To take care of the environment. D. To try to save and make full use of energy.
D
Thomas Scovel, one of the first professors from the United States to teach at a Chinese university, returned to his old school recently to make a donation (捐赠) for one of his former students.
Scovel was actually born in Jining, Shandong province, in 1939 as the son of a doctor from America and later returned to the US. He came back to China in 1979 to take up a teaching position at Tianjin Foreign Studies University.
The former professor, who has written a book about the great changes that have taken place in China since reform and opening-up was introduced in 1978, took to the stage at the university’s 60th anniversary celebration on Sept 28 to present a check for 2.2 million yuan ($300,000) to the university for his former student Yang Bin. The donation will go toward a kind of scholarship (奖学金) and awards for teachers, and adds to an earlier 2 million yuan donated by Yang in 2014. The cash was paid to students as awards for exhibiting exceptional leadership, athletic skills and a spirit of being helpful and generous. For the teaching awards, they have been named after Scovel and his wife Janene, who also taught at the university.
Zhou Honglei, the university’s leader, recognized Scovel as “one of the first foreign professors to journey from the US to China”. Scovel wrote a message for the university’s 60th anniversary celebration, reflecting on the late 1970s when China began its journey of reform and opening-up. From 1979 on, Scovel only returned to the university in 2014 for its 50th anniversary.
In one of his writings, he remembered encountering a short political phrase put up on the wall promoting the then popular “four modernizations” on a billboard, which read, “Catch up with and overtake Japan by the Year 2000! ” “Little did I know that not long after the new millennium (千年), China would far overtake Japan in terms of exports to the US,” he said.
Scovel noted the significant changes in China since 1978. “Forty years ago, it was almost unimaginable that, in today’s China, numerous people would have their own houses, have a car and that phones would be more common than fountain pens,” he said.
32. What can we know about Thomas Scovel?
A. He has completed a book about his family.
B. He has mostly lived in China since 1979.
C He once worked as a doctor.
D. He is in his eighties now.
33. Why did Yang Bin donate the money to the university?
A. To reward teachers and students.
B. To purchase some teaching equipment.
C. To offer poor students some education fees.
D. To help with the construction of some buildings.
34. What does the underlined word “encountering” in the fifth paragraph mean?
A. Depending on. B. Coming across. C. Breaking into. D. Turning in.
35. What is a suitable title for the news report?
A. US professor describes great changes in China since 1978
B. Scovel writes a message for university’s 60th anniversary
C. US professor makes speeches at Tianjin Foreign Studies University
D. Scovel takes up a teaching position at Tianjin Foreign Studies University

I remember the day ____56____ I first learned to ride a bike. From my point of view, it was a very adventurous yet fun experience. My grandfather, who had green fingers, was the one that taught me to ride and gave me a hand when I got hurt.

My strong determination was to make an effort to learn to ride my bike skillfully. ____64____ (eventual), I managed ____65____ (ride) the bike better.
