94. ___________

After four years, the time has come. In less than two weeks, I will have graduated. I look back now and I can't believe how fast it all went. I can still remember the first day of classes, looking on the map on the back of the Schedule of Classes and asking where the classroom building was. Now I'm a senior, looking at freshmen with envy. Every day I wish I could freeze time, and make the next two weeks go more slowly. I know a lot of people who can't wait to graduate, but for me it's the opposite. I want to turn back time instead and cherish every day of my college experience once again.

95. ____________

For me, college has been a great learning experience, and most of the learning process has taken place outside of the classroom. My second year of college was perhaps the most remarkable year of my life. This was the year that I finally convinced my mom that I was going to be OK living on campus, and she finally let me go. This was the year that I made some lifelong friends, and through many triumphs and failures I came to know more about myself. My second year involved experimenting with new things, such as camping in mountains, attempting to present some lousy poems to newspapers and drawing cartoons of my teachers in class.

96. _____________

As I walk down the familiar routes on campus, I find myself doing a lot of soul-searching and reminiscing. I find myself wanting to start all over again and recapture the fun and excitement of my college days. I have been panicking at the idea of graduating. I have been going to school for as long as I can remember, and I feel like there is so much more that I want to learn, but instead I have to graduate. The world is enormous and the possibilities are endless. For the past four years I have been surrounded with a safety net. The student status has been a somewhat comforting feeling, giving me an escape from the realities of the world outside.

97. _____________

With less than two weeks left of school, I'm getting a queasy feeling deep down every time I think about the fact that I'm going to be graduating. For as long as I can remember, I have been a student. I feel like I'm living in denial about graduating. Every time I get asked about what I'm going to do after college I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs. I don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life. It's too difficult to even contemplate the idea that soon I will be waking up in the mornings and not have a class to which I should be going.

98. ______________________________

On a recent interview, I was asked, "Is this the profession you want for the rest of your life?" I was amused and almost laughed at the question, but I gave an honest answer. I don't know what the future holds. During the last four years I have changed my mind so many times, the idea of a lifetime commitment to a certain job seems like torture.

For four centuries Germany has enjoyed a tradition of governmental support of the arts. Before the founding of the German Empire in 1871, many small kingdoms supported the arts. They established theatres, museums and libraries, and their leaders acted as the sponsors to poets, writers, painters and performers. The organizations were thus founded and the convention of generous public support has continued uninterrupted to the present.

Germany’s cultural life surprised foreigners. In the Federal Republic a few hundred theatres are financed by the federal government, the states and the cities, in addition to the many privately financed theatres. Unlike the United States, Britain and France, in which theatre is more often than not centered in one city, no one city in Germany dominates over the others. Also, productions in Vienna and in Zurich are significant to the artistic life of the Federal Republic, and artists and resources move easily and freely among the theatrical and operatic companies within the German-speaking regions. Only in Vienna, the capital in which the arts arouse（引起）far greater passions than do politics, does theatre have a broader audience base than in Germany. Audiences in Germany are not limited to the most cultured class or very important people but are drawn from all ranks of society. Season tickets, group arrangements, group tickets bought by business firms and theatre clubs make up the major funds of such production companies as the People’s Independent Theatre, dating from 1890 in Berlin. Going to the theatre or opera in Germany is about as affordable and as unremarkable as attending the cinema elsewhere.

A. organization                    B. sponsor             C. tradition            D. arrangement

D. because it is very cheap to go to the theatre in Germany.

A. often go to Vienna and Zurich to watch plays

B. often go to watch plays in German-speaking countries

C. show great interest in the artistic events in Vienna

D. admire Vienna’s arts more than those of their own country

93. The last sentence of the passage tells the reader that ______.

Our success in business, sports, friendship, love―nearly everything we attempt―is largely determined by our own self-image. People who have confidence in their personal worth seem to be essential for success and happiness. Good things drop into their hands regularly, their relationship are long-lasting, their projects are usually carried to completion. To use the image an English writer created, they “catch job on the wing”.

Opposite to that, some people seem to hold attraction for failure and unhappiness. Their plans go in a wrong manner, they have a way of destroying their own potential success and nothing seems to work out for them. For such persons, their problems usually have as origin a difficulty with self-acceptance. When they gain more confidence through others’ help, often their troubles take care of themselves.

It is believed that anyone can change his self-estimation. A person with low self-image is not necessarily limited to a life of unhappiness and failure. It is possible to get rid of negative attitudes and gain the healthy confidence needed to realize one’s dream.

A. life like drawing of something                 B. picture formed in one’s mind

A. to become healthier and better looking

B. to enjoy one’s life like flying with wings

C. to maintain a negative attitude towards things around

89. What could be the best title for the passage?

A. Happiness or Failure

B. Success and Self-image

C. Difficulties in Improving Self-Acceptance

D. Attitude towards Life

The oldest stone building in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5, 000 years and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid.

Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.

The “Step” pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun set. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally it had to be near the capital, or better still, near the king’s palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.

83. According to the passage, the “Step” pyramid _______.

A. is unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future.

B. was built on the sands along the Nile

C. is the one that was built later than the true pyramids.

D. is the most famous of the true pyramids

A. people have taken care of them.

B. it doesn’t rain often in Egypt.

C. they were well designed.

D. the government has protected them from damage.

85. The Egyptians built the pyramids along the banks of the Nile because _____.

A. they believed in their god.

B. it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile.

C. the river helped a lot in the transport of building materials.

D. it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids.
