Passage Two
During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp who, apparently though no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Probably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day hopday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents.
However ridiculous that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantages of these facipties, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seem to have been a man of good humor as indeed tramps very commonly are.
Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He yielded himself cheerfully, and was taken by the popce. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free pubpcity from the story revealed in the newspaper and on television. Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas, too.
1.The tramp was locked in the store ______.
A. for 7 days B. on purpose C. by accident D. for security reasons
2. It can be inferred from the passage that the underpned phrase “dead beat” in paragraph 1 means ______. A. angry B. exhausted C. forgetful D. careless

A. He watched TV. B. He was well fed. C. he had a sound sleep D. He had a good drink.
4. When the tramp was arrested, he ______.
A. was drunk B. felt he deserved it C. made no resistance D. felt himself wronged
5. The judge didn’t award compensation to the chain store because ______.
A. the store was responsible for what happened
B. the report of the event benefited the store a lot
C. the tramp had stolen nothing of value
D. the tramp was penniless
Passage Three
If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their abipty to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slow down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.
Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelpgence and emotion, and determine the human character.
Contraction of front and side parts - as cells die off – was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction – using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as pkely to have shrinking brains are as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculator.”
1.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out ______.
how people’s brains shrink
the way of making people pve longer
the size of certain people’s brains
why certain people aged sooner than others
2,Faulkner’s research findings are based on ______.
a survey of farmers in northern Japan
tests performed on a thousand old people
the study of the brain volumes of different people
the latest development of computer technology
3.The professor’s tests show that ______.
our brains shrink as we grow old
the front section of the brain does not shrink
seventy-year-olds have better brains than sixty-year-olds
brain contraction may vary among people of the same age
4.The underpned word “ subjects” in Paragraph 5 means ______.
branches of knowledge studied in a school
something to be considered
persons experimented on
citizens in a country
5.According to the passage, which group of people seem to age slower than the others
A. farmers B. Lawyers C. Clerks D. Shop assistants
Passage Four
News has just been received of an air crash in the north of England. The plane, which was on a charter fpght from London to Carpsle, was carrying a party of businessmen on their way to a trade fair.
