　　It is reported that 93% of the British companies will still be operating in the year 2000 and 70% will add to their business. Only  7% said they are unsure. Most British companies believe that after the handover, the business will at least remain unchanged Britain is so far the largest investor in Hong Kong with an investment of $ 40 billion, followed by Japan with $ 14.3 billion and the United States with $12 billion.

　　The British Senior Trade Commissioner in Hong Kong said that after the handover Hong Kong would be a place full of opportunities (机会). Like the British, the American companies also think Hong Kong's return to China is not an interruption. It is said that they increase their investment both in Hong Kong and on the mainland．About 95% of American companies will continue their investment in Hong Kong. A Japanese official in Hong Kong said that the handover is a great affair either to the Asia-Pacific area or to the whole world and that Japan believes firmly in the rapidly growing trade between them. A school was set up earlier this year for children of these Japanese working in Hong Kong as their number keeps growing.

　　Researches show that the number of foreign companies operating in Hong Kong has been on a firm rise. It's believed that Hong Kong has been, and will continue to be, a window for China．

　　Several years ago, my parents, my wife, my son and I ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard．After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the check in the middle of the table．That’s when it happened：my father did not reach for the check．

　　Conversation continued．Finally I realized that I should pick up the check!After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it had all changed．I reached for the check, and my view of myself suddenly changed．I was an adult．I was no longer a kid．

　　Some people mark off(区分)their lives in years, I measure mine in small events．I didn’t become a young man at a particular age, like 16, but rather when a kid who wandered in the streets called me “mister．” These events in my life are called “milestones”(里程碑)

　　There have been other milestones．The cops(policemen)of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was．Then one day they were suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was．They were just big kids．With that milestone gone was the dream that someday, maybe I, too, could be a football player．Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it．

　　I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did．Now it’s what I do best．I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim, yet I spent all of August at the shore and never once went into the ocean．I never thought that I would appreciate opera, but now the combination of voice and orchestra attract me．I never thought that I would prefer to stay home in the evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties．I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I fond myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject．I feel a strong desire for a religious belief that I never thought I’d want, feel close to my ancestors(祖先)long gone, and echo my father in arguments with my son．I still lose…

　　One day I bought a house．One day－what a day!–I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father．I thought then it was a milestone for me．One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him, too, another milestone．

　　A good friend of mine lives with six hundred wild animals on a Greek island．Ever since he left school(where I first knew him)he has traveled all over the world collecting animals for his very own zoo．He hoped to collect two examples of every kind of animal on his island, like Noah before the Great Flood．But the flood that my friend was afraid of, was a flood not of water, but of people．I think you have heard of my friend; he writes books about his travels, and about the wild and wonderful animals that he collects．The money from the books helps to pay for all the food that these animals eat．

第一节阅读下面五篇短文，从每题后所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving. There are some aspects(方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.
　　For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports — and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them — there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.
　　Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation(放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity — physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other — which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.
41. Pollution, noise and stress are examples of _____.
A. the causes of unfitness                                                      B. bad features of modern living
C. the things we can completely do away with               D. unavoidable things in town
42. We don’t get much out of separate sports because we _____.
A. don’t do them very often                                                  B. don’t do them actively enough
C. find it hard to get out of our armchairs                         D. don’t find them interesting
43. To be healthy we must _____.
A. keep fit and active                                                             B. keep fit and learn to relax
C. be active and practise Yoga                                                       D. have a sound mind
44. Our forefathers were healthy because______.
A. their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
B. they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
C. they spent most of the time out of doors
D. their environment was not polluted

A
Since it was published in 1818, Frankenstein, a classic horror story, has been in print in many languages.  The monster from the novel by Mary Shelley is the result of man's uncontrolled desire to create and apply his knowledge.
The novel features Victor Frankenstein, a student who explores the secrets of life in his laboratory. Fearing that he has created a monster, Victor Frankenstein wants to stop but too late. The monster kills Victor Frankenstein's young brother and causes the murder to be blamed on an innocent girl. Victor and the monster meet in the frozen mountains. The monster asks Victor to create a female monster, promising to afterwards leave with her for the wilds. Victor begins the work and discovers the monster has followed him to watch the work. Victor regrets his decision to create a second monster and worries that together they will begin a species of monster. Victor destroys the monster's bride. The monster soon takes revenge (复仇) on Victor by killing his best friend, his father and finally, his bride, Elizabeth. Victor pursues (追赶) the monster across many places. On the point of death, Victor meets a ship and tells his story to the captain whose letters and diaries are then to form this novel. Victor Frankenstein's last words are, "Farewell, Walton! Avoid ambition, even if it is only the obviously innocent one of distinguishing yourself in science and discoveries."

A
Joyce Yuan and her host family
As I began to feel completely sick of the cold North American winter, spring break finally arrived! What made me even more excited was that we were going to Florida to enjoy the warm weather!
Just imagine wearing short sleeves or a swimsuit under the hot Florida sun!
Before the vocation started, we had a little episode at the airport. The alarm sounded when my host mom and I were walking through the security check. We were taken away to have further checks, but when they finally told us that we could go, we felt easy and amused. It was just because of the decorations on my pants and the tinfoil(锡纸) around my host mom’ chewing gum! －Just as a reminder, no overly fashionable pants or tinfoil on a plane!
Of course, I had a lot of first experiences during this special vacation. Since eight of us were living in a house, we had to share a room with my 4-year-old host sister. She is tiny compared to me, but she took up about two thirds of the bed. Moreover, because I was not used to sleeping in the same room with others, I was afraid of waking up and hardly slept at all.
Luckily, except for all that, everything went really well. My host family were really warm-hearted, and they wanted me to try everything new. With their “persuasion”, I was “forced” to go boating, which turned out to be really fun. We went through some canals and I saw manatees(海牛) and dolphins with my own eyes for the very first time!
When we finally landed in Wisconsin again, everyone looked brown and full of energy! 
56. According to the passage, the reason why we were taken away to have further checks was that___________.
A. my pants and my host mom’s chewing gum
B. we carried some things that are not permitted
C. they considered us to be thieves
D. we had not passports with us
57.During the travel, the author experienced the following things for the first time EXCEPT_________.
A. sharing a room with a 4-year-old girl               B. going boating
C. seeing manatees and dolphins with her own eyes      D. taking a plane 
58.According to the passage, how many people went to Florida for traveling with the author together?
A. Seven                B. Eight           C. We don’t know it    D. Nine
59. From the passage, we can infer that the author felt the vacation was_____.
A. frightening            B. amazing         C. memorable             D. challenging
