He knew exactly what he wanted: a room which was not too small, nor so large that it would be difficult to heat in winter. It had to be clean and comfortable too but, above all, it had to be quiet. In the newspaper he had bought from the bookshop, there were very few advertisements(广告) for rooms to let. But, as he glanced down the page, a notice caught his eye. JOHNSON’S HOUSING AGENCY FlATS AND ROOMS TO LET This seemed hopeful, so he made a note of the address and set off in search of the agency. He found it in a narrow street just off the main road. The woman at the desk gave him a bright smile as he entered and, after Peter had explained what sort of room he was looking for, he paid two pounds for a list of about half a dozen landladies who had rooms to let. 56. What does the text mainly describe? A. Peter’s room hunting experience. B. Peter’s determination to find a room. C. The difficulties in finding rooms. D. The housing market. 57. Peter’s most important consideration in choosing a room was that it should be _______. A. neat and tidy B. away from noise C. of the right size D. warm in winter 58.

We started offering programs in Sarasota in February in 1991 and our first Forum was held in 1992 as a small group meeting．Being from the Northern USA，this was a particularly good time to go south for the warmth of our friendships with Dr．Treffinger and Dr. Noller and to keep away from the cold winter． The Forum is the only chance to learn about various topics of the creativity and innovation（革新）and from those who have rich experience and interest in the field．The theme of the 2004 Forum includes searching for a few new methods，sharing lessons from experience，and learning and exchanging ideas on cutting-edge research． Space is limited，so early registration（登记，注册）is welcome． Meeting the Innovation Challenge February 6  and  7，2004 The Lido Holiday Inn Sarasota，Florida ＄750（registration includes some meals and materials）   Interested in becoming qualified to use the VIEW assessment（评估）of Problem Solving Style？The two days just before our Forum provides you just that chance．For more information on VIEW see pages 24－25． VIEW Qualification Course February 4 and 5，2004 The Lido Holiday Inn Sarasota，Florida ＄650（registration includes lunch and course materials）   Special Offer：If you would like to attend the VIEW qualification course and the Forum，you can register for both events for ＄1050． 59. According to this advertisement, at the Forum people ____.     A. come together in order to form an organization     B. express different opinions and discuss public matters     C. eat together to celebrate their success or victory     D. work together for the purpose of business or trade 60.

Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source .They are not a look into the future, either. All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold , his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today. So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, home-sick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom. To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hands! There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out. 63. From the passage we know that our dreams . A. are imagination of our daily life B. are man’s curious look into the future C. have nothing to do with our feelings D. are to some degree connected with our feelings 64. In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that . A. you are in a state of being cold B. you are in a state of being tired C. you are in a state of hunger D. you should have had your dinner that day 65. Older children often dream of examinations probably because . A. they are interested in exams B. they are often worried about their studies C. they hope for better life D. they show much interest in their studies 66. Some scientists’ explanation of dreams . A. is not widely accepted though a bit reasonable B. gives an exact description of our life C. provides us with information of dreams D. is of no use for us ( D ) In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so, to fill his time, he planned a game which he called ”Lexico”. However, he was not completely satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from" Lexico" to "Alph" and then to "Criss Cross”.He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn't have any real commercial（商业性的） success. In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new name—"Scrabble". At first, it didn't sell very well. In the first year it sold just 2,250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8,500 sets a year. Then, in 1952 the manager of Macy's department store in New York, Jack Strauss, happened to play “Scrabble” while he was on holiday, He thought it was a wonderful game and, when he went back to work after his holiday, he insisted that Macy's should stock（储备）the game and make an effort（努力）to call the public's attention to it. As a result, “Scrabble” became a big success in the United States and it soon spread to Australia and then to other English-speaking countries. 67. The text is mainly about . 　　A. "Lexico" B. three men C. a word game D. Alfred Butts 68. Alfred Butts invented the game “Lexico”___ . 　　A. to make himself famous B. to make spelling simpler 　　C. when he was out of work and looking for a job 　　D. when he was playing word games to pass the time 69. Who made “Scrabble” popular? 　 A. Alfred Butts. B. Jack Strauss. C. Alfred Butts and Jim Brunot. D. Jack Strauss and Jim Brunot. 70. When did Alfred Butts first put his game on the market? A. In 1939. B. In 1948. C. Before 1939. D. Between 1939 and 1948. （E） There is an old verb“to busk”，meaning“to improvise”，and it is from this word that“busker”is formed to describe a street musician or performer. There have been buskers on the London Underground for as long as anyone can remember. You do not always see them but you can hear them：the sound travels for miles along the underground tunnels. Some are serious musicians attracted by near-perfect acoustics(音响效果).Others are little more than beggars who see it as an easy way of making money. The guitar is probably the most common choice of instrument but you can also hear American banjos and Irish bagpipes. Busking on the Underground is always against the law. It does not matter which instrument you play. Fines，which can be anything up to 200 pounds, are usually given by the London Transport Police．Why it is against the law is unclear．The police insist that buskers block the way and their music prevents people hearing information from the loudspeakers．Buskers say that they help passengers in difficulty and make women travelling alone feel more safe． 71．To become a busker is a matter of money，isn’t it? Why? A．Yes．Because when you listen to music on the underground you have to give the musician a little money．     B．Not always．Some musicians play on the underground because it is a good place to hear the music well．     C．No．Because buskers help people in danger if they are paid for it．     D．Yes．They want passengers to give them some coins． 72．What do the London Transport Police do if they catch a busker?     A．The police punish him／her by a fine．     B．Nothing，because busking is not against the law．     C．It depends on the instrument you play，because some buskers play too loud．     D．Nothing，because the police know that buskers help people in difficulty． 73．How can passengers get help from buskers?     A．Listening to music is enjoyable．     B．Passengers usually get money from buskers．     C．They can get information about the weather．     D．Getting free tickets for the underground． 74．The words“banjos”and“bagpipes”in the passage probably mean ________．     A．buskers from America and Ireland    B．underground stations     C．different types of instrument       D．different groups of buskers 75．The best title for the passage would be ________.     A．Travelling by London Underground    B．Buskers Are Fined     C．London Transport Laws              D．Sound on the Underground   第二卷（非选择题，满分35分） 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）  第一节 对话填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）     请认真阅读下面对话，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，写出一个英语单词的完整、正确形式，使对话通顺。 Never will Zhou Yang(ZY) forget his first assignment at the office of a popular English newspaper.His discussion with his new boss Hu Xin(HX),was to strongly influence his life as a journalist.
