It is the same with history. Many things have been 13 because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did 14 a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes 15 was never any written record at 16 because the people of that 17 and place did not know 18 to write. For example ,we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who 19 after them. But we know almost 20 about the people who lived even 2,000 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.

Passage one
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Some people learn a second language easily. Other people have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several steps to make learning English a little easier and more interesting.

The first step is to feel positive about learning English. If you believe that you can learn, you will learn. Be patient. You do not have to understand everything all at once. It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes. In other words, do not worry about taking risks.

The second stop is to practice your English. For example, write a diary every day. You will get used to writing in English, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English. After several weeks, you will see that your writing is improving. In addition, you must speak English every day. You can practice with your classmates outside class. You will all make mistakes, but gradually you will become comfortable communicating in English.

The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your diary. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand something the teacher explained? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write these in your diary.

You must be positive about learning English and believe that you can do it. It is important to practice every day and make a record of your achievements. You will enjoy learning English, and you will have more confidence in yourself.

Try to respond to letters within a set time. Keep a record of requests for reply within a certain time. Make a note in your diary of other deadlines(最后期限)for your work.

Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

The journey two divers made some time ago to the very deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be discovered. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents or signs of life.

It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and be e easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.

The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers of water. In time, the temperature dropped to freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then at a depth of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30,000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking noise: even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of "dust" made up of small dead sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water-pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them would make the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.

31. A diver is a person _____.
　A. who studies plants and animals living underwater
　B. who works under water in a special dress
　C. who usually hides himself inside a small steel ball
　D. whose job is to drive underwater vessels

32. The purpose of the two divers' journey to the deepest point on the earth is ___.
　A. to see if humans can stand the severe cold at the bottom of the ocean
　B. to investigate which part of the Pacific Ocean is the deepest
　C. to make sure that there are no signs of life in the great depths
　D. to find out if there are any ocean currents or living creatures there

33. The telephone stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet ____.
　A. Where the warm and cold layers of water were divided
　B. and thus the divers lost contact with their mother ship
　C. and the temperature immediately dropped to freezing point
　D. when a loud, cracking noise was suddenly heard inside the ball

34. The telephone began working again ___.
　A. after the steel ball reached the bottom of the ocean
　B. as soon as the divers went down to the depth of 30,000 feet
　C. shortly after one of the outer windows had broken
　D. just before the steel ball touched the soft ocean floor

35. On the ocean floor, the divers found that ______.
　A. there was no life but small dead sea-creatures
　B. fish were swimming as freely as they did near the surface
