        Hugh Troy ,a well-known artist,  was a very interesting and clever person who spent most of his life playing tricks for the joy of it.
        One winter in the 1920s,while a student at Cornell University in Ithaca,New York,Troy got hold of a very old and ugly wastebasket with a real thinoceros(犀牛)foot as its base. He filled it with metal weights and tied 30 feet of clothes-line to either side. Late one night he and a friend carried it out onto campus(校园),pulling the lines straight between them. Every few feet they would lower it into the snow,their own footprints so far away as to raise no suspicionsc怀疑).
        The next morning someone noticed the prints and invited learned professors to come and have a look. Excitedly, they followed the thinoceros tracks. Then they were led onto the ice cover-
ing Beeb Lake,which connected to where the school got its drinking water. There the tracks ended in a huge hole.
        It was said that half the population of Cornell stopped drinking tap water. Those who continued to drink it insisted that it tasted like thinoceros.
39. What was Troy doing when the story began?
        A. He was working as an artist.
        B. He was studying in the university.
        C. He was examining a thinoceros foot.
        D. He was doing thinoceros experiments.

        Millions of hamburgers are eaten by people in every corner of the world every day. Together with hot dogs and Coca-Cola,hamburgers have been the most important American contribution (贡献) to international eating habits.
        The name "hamburger" has nothing to do with ham. It is believed that the hamburger was first brought to the United States by Germans from the city of Hamburg some time in the 1850s. The first known reference to hamburgers was in a newspaper in Washington State in 1889. From then on the hamburger became a kind of popular American fast food.
        Now young people in Asia,Europe and South America have learned to eat while on the move-a hamburger in one hand and a soft drink in the other. There have been cries of anger from Italy and Spain about the shortening of the usual four-hour lunch break. Instead,young people have discovered a lunch for which they don't have to stop at all.
        However, there are clouds over the hamburger's world.  People who concern about health dislike the high animal fat in the hamburger. They think the time saved seems a high price to pay for poor health. The packages in which hamburgers are usually served are causing serious pollution problems in many large cities. Big hamburger companies are destroying large areas of South American rainforest to produce the cheap meat they need. So, will the hamburger celebrate its next century?
43. In which way do hamburgers change people's eating habits?
        A.  People can have their meals at any time of the day.
        B.  They can be served in any restaurant.
        C. People can have them with soft drinks.
        D.  Meal time can be greatly reduced.
44. The hamburger, as a kind of popular American fast food,____.
        A.  has a history of over one hundred years
        B.  was brought to Europe in the 1850s
        C.  is usually eaten with the hot dog
        D.  is better served in Hamburg
45. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?
        A.  Young people in Europe don't stop to buy hamburgers.
        B.  It is suggested that hamburgers be eaten with both hands.
        C.  Some people in Europe don't like to reduce their lunch break.
        D.  Young people in many countries are learning how to eat in their cars.
46. The writer doesn't believe that ____.
        A.  packages for hamburgers are polluting many big cities
        B.  hamburgers will remain popular for the following 100 years
        C.  the meat in hamburgers can cause health problems
        D.  cattle raising leads to the destroying of rainforest 

        My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and announced:  "Get up.  You're going with me to cut grass. "
        The idea that my father actually thought I was big enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and excited.  From sunup to sundown my father,  my younger brother and I worked in the large yards in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia.  By the end of the day I was tired out,  but I felt good.  I had put in a hard day's labour and had earned $ 6.
        One day my father found some leaves I'd missed and pulled me aside. "Clear away these leaves," he said firmly, "and don't make me have to tell you to do it again. " The message was clear. Today I value the importance of doing a job right the first time.  It will never fail to impress the person you are working for.
        After two years my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to do lawns(草坪)  on our own.  Every Saturday during our last two years of high school, we set out early in the morning with the same desire and drive we had gained while working under our father.
        Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying, but that didn't matter.  It taught me that any job is a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.
        A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live on a forty-hour-a-week minimum (最低的)  pay.   "My father never worked just forty hours a week,  and neither have I," I replied. "If you're only working forty hours, you probably don't want to do any better than you're doing. "
        In every job I've held - from doing lawns to washing dishes - I have learned something that helped me in my next job.  If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.
47. Why did the writer feel proud and excited when asked to cut grass?
        A.  He was old enough to help his family.
        B.  He became important to his father's business.
        C.  He was able to take care of large yards.
        D.  He could earn $ 6 that day.
48. What does message in the third paragraph mean?
        A.  Leaving leaves behind is not right.
        B. Giving no excuse for your mistakes.
        C.  Doing a good job at the very beginning.
        D.  Missing things can be found out.
49. When the writer finished high school, he might be____ years old.
        A. 14    B．16    C．18    D．20
50. Which of the following is the most important thing that the writer has learned from his father?
        A.  Watch clearly while doing a job.
        B.  Set out early for physical work.
        C.  Keep learning from any job you hold.
        D. Work over 40 hours every week.
