材料：

At 1800，the hydraulic steering system failed once again．The master realized he would require shore assistance to rectify the problem，and diverted towards Portland using the thruster to steer by．The weather at this time was south-south-west force 5．At about three hours later，the thruster drive unit failed due to a leaking fuel injector pipe on the power unit．This was replaced using the spare carried on board．Immediately following the engine restart，an adjacent fuel line failed causing shut down of the unit．With no fuel line spares available，the thruster power unit could not be used．The failure of this unit，and that of the main hydraulic steering system，left the vessel without any steering capability．

At 2155，with the weather deteriorating and no steering，the master contacted the Portland Coastguard and a“Pan pan”message was broadcast．A tow to Portland Harbor was arranged and she arrived alongside at 0240 the following morning．The subsequent investigation found that the main hydraulic steering system failure was due to a seized shuttle valve in the main hydraulic solenoid valve block．The solenoid valve had been recently overhauled．It was thought that the“O”rings fitted to the shuttle valve were of either the wrong type or a defective one．The valve had seized in such a position that hydraulic pressure by-passed the system preventing use of the hand steering．

问题：

The vessel was steered by thruster because ________ failed．

A.the hydraulic steering system

B.the solenoid valve

C.the thruster driving unit

D.the hand steering

The time that the thruster drive unit failed was ________ hrs．A.1800

B.2100

C.2155

D.0240

When the hydraulic steering system failed，________．A.the hand steering system could still be used

B.the auto steering system could still be used

C.both hand and auto steering system were out of use

D.neither and steering system nor auto steering system was out of use

The real reason that caused the hydraulic steering system to fail was that ________．A.no fuel line spare were available

B.the weather was deteriorating

C.the“O”rings fitted to the shuttle valve were of either the wrong type or a defective one

D.the thruster power unit failed

When a good reader is at work, he does not look at letters, nor even at words, one by one, however quickly; he takes in the meaning of two, three, or four words at a time, in a single moment. Watch carefully the eyes of a person who is reading, and it will be seen that they do not travel smoothly along the lines of print, but they move by jumps separated by very short stops. The eyes of a very good reader move quickly, taking long jumps and making very short halts (停顿); the eyes of a poor reader move more slowly, taking only short jumps and stopping longer at each halt. Some- times, when he meets a difficulty, he even goes backwards to see again what has already been looked at once.

The teacher’s task is therefore clear: it is to train his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one "eye jump" ) and remove the necessity for going backwards to read something a second time.

This shows at once that letter-by-letter, or syllable-by-syllable (音节), or word-by-word reading, with the finger pointing to the word, carefully fixing each one in turn, is wrong, It is wrong because such a method ties the pupil’s eye down to a very short jump. Moreover, a very short jump is too short to provide any meaning or sense; and it will be found that having struggled with three or four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again, all together and in one group, in order to get the meaning of the whole phrase.

Which of the following is closest in meaning to the first paragraph？

A．Pupils should be trained to reach quickly the stage of reading without having to concentrate on the separate symbols.

B．Pupils should look at each printed symbol for its meaning as well as for its shape.

C．Teachers should help their pupils avoid looking at the shape of the printed symbols.

Passage Four

Dressing fashionably was very important in fourteenth-century Spain. This was especially true for any man who considered himself an aristocrat or dandy. Before going out, a well-dressed man would put on his finest boots, one of his embroidered caps and his favorite beard, dyed to match the color of his clothing.

Believe it or not, false beards were once as popular as neckties are today. Beards had for years considered a sign of strength and manhood, and the bigger and thicker they were, the better. Those unfortunates who had little facial hair were forced by custom into wearing false beards made of horsehair. Soon, however man in the Spanish fashion world was wearing them too, while many quite substantial real beards were shaved off to make way for the false variety.

By day, the fashionable dandy might wear a yellow or a crimson beard to impress his friends, but in the evening a long black beard was proper for serenading his senorita, Any color or shape of beard could be had.

However, as you can imagine, the growth of this unusual custom created many interesting problems. People with similar beards were mistaken for one another. Creditors could not find debtors, and police often arrested the wrong people, while the real villain escaped wearing their hairy disguises. The price of horsehair skyrocketed. Finally, King Philip IV of Aragon put a stop to all the foolishness by outlawing the wearing of false beards.

46. What is the passage mostly concerned with？

A. The size of beards.

B. The color of beards.

C. Varieties of false beards.

D. The custom of wearing false beards.

［A］ Thus a joke is laughed at for its own sake, even though there is an independent value in laughter, which lightens our lives by taking us momentarily outside ourselves. Why should not something similar be said of works of art, many of which aspire to be amusing in just the way that good jokes are？

［B］ All discussion of the value of art tends, therefore, to turn from the outset in the direction of criticism: Can there be genuine critical evaluation of art, a genuine distinction between that which deserves our attention and that which does not？ (And, once again, the question may be extended to objects of natural beauty.)

［C］ Art is held to be a form. of education, perhaps an education of the emotions. In this case, it becomes an open question whether there might not be some more effective means to the same result. Alternatively, one may attribute a negative value to art, as Plato did in his Republic, arguing that art has a corrupting or diseducative effect on those exposed to it.

［D］ Artistic appreciation, a purely personal matter, calls for appropriate means of expression. Yet, it is before anything a process of “cultivation”, during which a certain part of one’s “inner self” is “dug out” and some knowledeg of the outside world becomes its match.

［E］ If I am amused it is for a reason, and this reason lies in the object of my amusement. We thus begin to think in terms of a distinction between good and bad reasons for laughter. Amusement at the wrong things may seem to us to show corruption of mind, cruelty, or bad taste; and when it does so, we speak of the object as not truly amusing, and feel that we have reason on our side.

［F］ Such thinkers and writers believe that art is not only an end in itself but also a sufficient justification of itself. They also hold that in order to understand art as it should be understood, it is necessary to put aside all interests other than an interest in the work itself.
