    Passage Two

    One day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to New York and the girl in the ticket office said, "I'm sorry, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down."

    "If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."

    "I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."

    I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do?'

    "We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not."

    "So when it goes down, you go down with it."

    "That's good, sir. '

    "How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.

    "I have no idea. There's no way we can find out without asking the computer."

    After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. "Let's forget the computer. What about your planes? They're still flying, aren't they?"

    "I wouldn't know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only 'IT'knows. 'It'can't tell me.

    By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

    问答题
    In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summery below by choosing a maximum of three words from the passage to fill in each of the blanks 51-5.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.  For many years after he formed his Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein visited many universities in different cities where he gave talks about it. He had his own chauffeur who drove him to where he was to give the talk. The chauffeur sat at the back of the room while he was giving his lecture, and then drove him home.  One day, the chauffeur said to Einstein, “Professor, I have heard you give your talk so many times that I know every word of it.” “Do you?” Einstein said with a smile. “Let’s find out, shall we? You give my next talk for me. Nobody knows what I look like where we’re going. I’m just a name to them.” Just before they reached the university where Einstein was to give his talk, he changed places with his chauffeur.  The chauffeur’s memory was excellent and he was able to give Einstein’s talk exactly as Einstein gave it. He did not understand a word he was saying, but this did not seem to matter. Then, as he was leaving the university, one of the teachers who had been at the talk came up to him.  “Professor Einstein,” he said. “That was a most interesting talk. I’d be grateful if you would answer a question.” The chauffeur hurried on. “I’m sorry,” he said, “but I’m late for my next meeting.”  “I’ll walk with you,” the teacher said. “I want to talk to you about the problem.” The teacher walked along beside the chauffeur and asked him to solve a very difficult mathematical problem.  The poor chauffeur couldn’t understand the problem, let alone attempt an answer. He did not know what to say. Then he had an idea. “It’s so simple,” he said. “Even my chauffeur could answer it.”  He pointed to his car, where Einstein was standing, still wearing the chauffeur’s cap.  “This man has a maths question,” he said to Einstein. “It’s so easy I’m sure even you can answer it.”  Summary:  Albert Einstein was a famous scientist who worked out the Theory of Relativity. He used to travel around the country with his chauffeur giving (1)      on mathematics. His chauffeur knew his talk very well so Einstein asked him to give the talk at the next (2)      where they did not know him. The chauffeur did well, but afterwards a teacher came up to him and asked him a difficult (3)      .The chauffeur did not know the answer but he said, “This problem is so simple I’m sure my chauffeur knows (4)      it.” Then he pointed to Einstein still standing (5)      beside the car.

    正确答案:
    1.talks  文章第一话明确指出爱因斯坦经常带着他的司机到各地演讲。
    2.university  由第二段最后一句话可看出他们是到大学做演讲。
    3.mathematical problem  由第五段最后一句话可以看出那个老师问的是一道非常难的数学题。
    4.how to solve  could answer it也就是know how to solve it。
    5.in his cap  in his cap是wearing the chauffeur’s cap的另一种说法。

    While working on a case Dr Watson accidentally fell down a 30ft dry wishing well. Sherlock Holmes lowered him down a rope.  “Can you climb up?” shouted Holmes.  “I’ll be out before you know it.” came Watson’s reply.  But the climb wasn’t as easy as Watson had first imagined. Each hour he managed to climb 3ft—but slipped back 2ft.  How long did it take Watson to get out

    正确答案: 28 hours
