Passage One

On the first day of my second year at California State University at Sacramento, I saw the most gorgeous guy! He was standing alone in line at the cafeteria and looked out place. Turning to my friends, I said, “I have to meet him!” Challenging my spontaneity, my friends reached into their purses and came up with money for a bet. They then dare me to run up to him, pretend that I knew him and convince him that he knew me. Smiling, I turned and was off to the cutie pie.

“Dan, Dan!” I yelled as I ran up to him. “How are you? How’s your mom?” He just stood there looking at me I could tell that he was shy. I liked him immediately.

“I’m not Dan,” he said, looking a little confused.

“Sure you are!” I countered. “You lived in Sierra Hall last year, third floor! You were Bob’s roommate.”

“No I lived off campus last year,” this sweet man replied still not getting it. I turned and started to leave, and he began asking me a series of questions, know you from mom’s allergy clinic? (I hate shots.) “Were you in the parrot class I took last summer?” (I like birds only slight more than shots.) “Do you eat at Taco Bell? I work there.” (Never.)

“Well,” he said, “I know I’m not Dan, and I didn’t live in Sierra Hall.” He reached out his hand to mine. My name is Tim, and I’m pleased to meet you anyway.

He invited me to his fraternity party that night. I composed myself and informed him that I did not go to fraternity parties. But as I watched him walk away, I had second thoughts. That afternoon, I took the money that I’d won from the bet and bought a black miniskirt. I was going to my first fraternity party.

When I arrived there, I was a little nervous. Would he be there? when I got to the front steps of the frat house, I looked up and saw Tim sitting at the top. He looked at me and smiled.

“I was hoping you would come. I’ve been waiting for you.” I sat down next to him and we started talking. We talked all that night and for the next three nights until dawn. Four months later, he asked me to marry him. Four years later, we tied the knot. This year, we celebrated the fifteenth anniversary, of the day we met.

Some nights when we are snuggling together, I’m reminded that I found my soul mate on a dare. Now and then, my husband asks, “Am I Dan or Tim tonight?” Having a special place in my heart for both of them, I always laugh and reply, “You decide!”

Passage Two

The score is tied in the second half of the World Cup finals, and aboard a 747, passengers cheer as they watch the game on their laptops--40,000 feet above Earth. Sound futuristic?

Boeing Plans to make this scenario possible with its broadband telecommunications initiative, Connexion by Boeing. This service will allow fliers to surf the Web, send and receive email .access the company intranet, book dinner reserervations trade the honest stock, shop online and watch live TV from any seat in an aircraft.

Connexion is already available cn privat jets, and Boeing says that the two-way broadband service will be installed on domestic flights in late 2001. Global coverage is slated to arrive by 2005. Subscribers will be able to access Connexion from their seats using laptops or personal digital assistants, plus a network card and a cable provided by the airline. The cost? Comparable to ground-floor cellular phone service; between $ 6 and $ 25 an hour.

One key enabler for this technology is a phased-array antenna, originally developed by Boeing in 1986. Located on the aircraft’s, upper fuselage, the antenna electronically transmits beams to a satellite at 1.5Mb per second and receives them at 5 Mb per second. Thus, every passenger can access Connexion concurrently, securing connection speeds of no less than 56 Kh per second each. The actual bandwidth will be continually upgraded.

Boeing ultimately wants to bring the service to markets like cruise ships and oil exploration platforms. Until then, the sky’s the limit.

81. What is the main idea of this article?

A. In the near future people will be able to watch live soccer matches on a plane.

B. The future holds many exciting developments.

C. The service is not available to them now as Boeing is busy servicing the fliers.

D. They can get the service because they are in the limt the project.

Passage Three

U. S. airlines could slash 70,000 more jobs if there were war with Iraq and the U. S. government did not give the industry, more help, the biggest domestic carriers said on Tuesday.

The Air Transport Association, which represents major airlines, said in a report on airline finances that its members would take aggressive steps to counter any sharp drop in travel demand and an increase in costs caused by an Iraqi war.

Big airlines are seeking government assistance to stem rising fuel costs and ease taxes that are contributing to losses that soared to more than $ 10 billion in 2002.

The industry outlined a “most likely scenario if war broke out, saying that reduced demand and higher cost’s due to a conflict lasting 90 days would cost it $ 4 billion in lost revenue. Without a conflict, losses would still be expected to reach almost $ 7 billion for the year.

“The nation’s air carders will continue to do all we can, but we fear that the consequences of this war will be severe,” James May, president and chief executive of the air transport group, told a news conference.

May restated the industry’s belief that war could prompt more bankruptcies or force some financially fragile carder into liquidation. Recovery would take several years and ticket prices would have to fall further to spur demand.

US Airways Group Inc. and UAL Corp’s United Airlines are in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and some industry experts believe that AMR Corp’s American Airlines, the world’s biggest carrier could follow later this year. Airlines expect overall traffic volume during a second Gulf conflict would fall more sharply than it did during the 1991 war, when it declined 8 percent after fighting began. The airlines based their assessment on a slide of more than 20 percent in advance bookings for overseas travel after the U. S. government elevated its domestic terror alert status from yellow to orange in early February.

Jet fuel has more than doubled in price from a year ago to $ 1.30 a gallon recently. Fuel is the second-largest expense after labor for an airline. An increase of one penny a gallon costs the industry an estimated $ 180 million

annually.

86. U. S. airlines would have to suffer the following losses if there were war with Iraq except that __________.

A. the industry would have to lose $ 180 million revenue each year with one gallon of jet fuel increasing one penny on sale

B. the overall traffic volume is expected to drop at least over eight percent, which took place during the first gulf war

C. the U. S. government refuses to give the main airline companies any essential financial support once the war broke out

D. it would take a few years to get the prewar ticket prices resumed and then to spur the passengers’ riving demand

87. The countermeasures the nation’s main air carriers would take to prevent any sharp drop in travel demand may

include ________________.

I. seeking government financial assistance

II asking for low tax rate

Ш promoting more bankruptcies and forcing some weak airline companies into liquidation

A. I only B. I and II C. I and Ш D. II and Ш

88. The sentence “... AMR, Corp’s American Airlines, the world’s biggest carrier, could follow later this year” (Paragraph 7) can best restated as __________.

A. it would also seek bankruptoy protection

B. it would have to spur its passengers’ steps demand for tickets

C. it would have to take aggressive steps to avoid bankruptcy

D. it would call for more financial subsidy from the government for its survival

89. The phrase “force some financially fragile carries into liquidation” (Paragraph 6) may probably mean _______.

A. compel them to reduce flight

B. make them do nothing but to declare bankruptcy

C. push them to be destroyed

D. bring them into luquid state

90. From the passage we can conclude that ___________.

A. the writer intends to show his strong anti-war position

B. the writer tells what the American air transportation industry would have to worry about in facing the war against Iraq

C. the writer shows deep sympathy for the sufferings the war would bring to Iraqi people

D. the writer wants to show indignation against George Bush’s position on Iraqi problem

Passage Four

A half hour before test time, I was afraid to look in the mirror. But I had to assess the damages. After all, there were cute guys in this class. Granted, they would be worrying more about the final than what I looked like, and that was my hope at this point.

The first things I saw were my own bloodshot eyes. Where was that Visine? My hair looked like Attila the Hun ad spent the night camping in it. Well, I’d pull it back into a ponytail and take the tangles out later.

And then I saw it. It was a huge swelling on the front of my chin that had to be the size of a small golf ball. Surely I was hallucinating from lack of sleep. I had never seen anything like that before, I’d heard of people getting hives from nerves. But a single hive, on the front of my face? I gingerly touched it. A hard swelling met my curious fingertips. What had caused this? The pizza I’d consumed at midnight or the mountain Dew I’d consumed at two and four and six in the morning? Perhaps it was the Cap’s Crunch at three or the candy bar at five. My stomach had a strict policy. If I was going to keep it up all night, it insisted on being fed.

How was I going to cover this up? I rummaged through all my toiletries until I found my lone bandage, put there for emergencies. Well, this qualified as one, Oh no, that looked really stupid. How embarrassing. Oh well, no time to do anything else about it now. My philosophy final was waiting for me. My beleaguered brain had tried all night to grasp the arguments of different philosophies so that I could write them down on the essay test this morning.

I loved to hear our philosophy professor in class. I could follow the arguments when he discussed them, but trying to formulate them on my own just wasn’t happening. Perhaps the bump was the result of stress. I had to pass this

final or I would fail the class. And I couldn’t fail the class, or I would have to take the college’s summer school sessions. And I couldn’t go to summer school because I needed to work to help pay for next fall’s tuition.

Swallowing the last gulp of fiat Mountain Dew, I headed for class. I picked a seat that didn’t directly face the clock. That would only make me more nervous, and cod knew I had already used up my adrenaline(肾上腺素) supply, Dr. Wennberg passed out the essay books while explaining the roles. We would have exactly one hour. My two pencils in hand, I waited for the signal.

“Begin.”

I closed my eyes took a deep breath and said a prayer “Please, God , help me remember all that I’ve studied for this test.”

I looked over the questions. I could do this. I had to do this. I began writing.

Twenty minutes had gone by. I had been writing as fast as I could before I forgot the infonnation. So far so good . But my eyes were so tired. They hurt so badly. They felt so heavy. I’d just rest them for a minute. I leaned my puffy chin on my hand.

Someone sneezed. I came to with a start. What?! I’d fallen asleep? I’d never done that before in a final! Oh no! Fearfully, I looked at the clock.

Only ten minutes left?! I’d slept a half hour? Oh no!

I thought I’d used up all my adrenaline, but I was wrong. I broke out in a cold sweat. What could I do in ten minutes? Think, I must think. I need a plan. I’m doomed. No, think. I began writing as fast as I could to finish the questions. I stared at the last blank page of the essay test booklet with its nearly ruled lines. Dare I? I had nothing to lose. I still had two minutes. I wrote Dr. Wennberg. I told him how sorry I was. How I’d stayed awake all night to study because this was important to me, only to fall asleep during the exam. How I’d really wanted to do better I asked for mercy.

One week later, I stood in front of the test board where the results would be posted. The mysterious swelling on my chin had gone away with sleep, but I touched my fingers to my chin nervously, It wasn’t coming back, was it? I stood awaiting my fate. The secretary came out and pinned a pape to the board. I scanned down the list of names, looking for my final class grade. There it was; a C--minus. Tears filled my eyes. I looked again. I had passed, I was sure I hadn’t deserved that. But I wasn’t about to argue! Dr. Wennberg had shown mercy. It was one philosophy lesson I’ve never forgotten.

A. Perhaps because he didn't like his own appearance.

B. Perhaps because he didn't prepare enough for the test.
