Passage 1

In every school there is a “top” crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their example. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters （毛衣）. Pretty soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that for some people bright red is rather unsuitable. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the example are putting their lives in danger. They are like sheep being led to the slaughter （屠宰）.

Now, it is likely that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, it is likely that at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, “Gee, the crowd does it.” Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say “No.” Develop your own standards and your own judgments. If you know the crowd is planning something of which you disapprove, have the courage to bow out gracefully. You’ll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet. 36.The main idea of this passage is that ______. A.in every school there is a “top” crowd that sets pace B.it is a mistake to follow the “top” crowd blindly

C.at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong D.people who follow the “top” crowd are putting their lives in danger 37.The author disapproves of wearing red sweaters if ______. A.the crowd is wearing them C.one doesn’t look good in red

38.People who follow the “top” crowd blindly ______.

A.are rebels （叛逆者） without a cause B.have no respect for their parents C.are good-for-nothings D.sometimes do things against their better judgment

39.The underlined phrase “to bow out” may probably mean ______. A.not to take part B.to make an excuse 40.The author urges the reader to ______. A.follow the crowd C.be independent Passage 2

The fact that everybody enjoys a good mystery explains why magicians are such popular entertainers. We all know that a magician does not really depend on “magic” to perform his tricks, but on his ability to act at great speed. However, this does not prevent us from enjoying watching a magician produce rabbits from a hat, swallow countless eggs, or saw（锯）his wife in two.

Probably the greatest magician of all time was Harry Houdini who died in 1926. His real name was Enrich Weiss, but he adopted the name “Houdini” after reading a book which influenced him greatly. This had been written by a famous magician called Robert Houdini. Houdini mastered the art of escaping. He could free himself from the tightest knots （最牢固的结）or the most difficult locks in seconds. Although no one really knows how he did this, there is

B.take the advice from the “top” crowd D.do whatever he wants

C.to feel sorry D.to be ashamed

B.one can’t afford them D.it is against school rules
