VIKING VOYAGES TO AMERICA 文章的翻译
The Vikings were the first Europeans to reach America.They achieved this long before Columbus ever set sail.The Vikings were a group of people whose ancestors came from Scandinavia.They controlled the seas and coasts of Northern Europe between the 8th and 10th centuries AD.By around 900 AD,there were many places in Northern Europe where the Vikings chose to live.In 982 AD,when a man called Eric the Red decided to set sail further west,there were as many as 10,000 Vikings living in Iceland.According to the old stories of Iceland and Norway,Eric the Red was forced to leave Iceland because he dad committed a murder,for which he got into trouble.Eric reached 订沪斥疚俪狡筹挟船锚Greenland and discovered that people could live in the place where he landed.He returned to Iceland and told people to go back with him to Greenland.Eric set sail once again,this time with 25 ships,of which only 14 made it to Greenland.Not long after Eric the Red had landed in greenland,a man called biarni set sail from Iceland in search of Eric's party.Biarni was hoping to join his father who was with Eric,but he was blown off course and found himself in an unknown land,from where he eventually reached Greenland.In the year 1002,when Eric the Red's son Leif was planning a trip further west,Biarni was the man with whom Leif discussed his plans.Leif followed Biarni's directions and sailed to what is believed to be the coast of present-day Canada.He then sailed futher south to an island which is now known as Newfoundland.We know about Eric the Red and Leif's deeds through stories which were written down centuries later in Norway and Iceland .They are the first records we have of Europeans sailing to the America.

二、阅读理解（共 4 道试题，共 40 分。）V 1.&&
It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become “in”. Between the hours of 11 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.
Actually, soaps are more tha they’re a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.
Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.
1). What is soap opera?
A. Plays based on science fiction stories.
B. Plays based on non-fiction stories.
C. The daytime serial dramas on TV.
D. Popular documentary films on TV.
& && &满分：2&&分
2). What can be the best title of the passage?
A. College student viewers.
B. Favorite TV serials.
C. Soap opera fans.
College-age viewers.
& && &满分：2&&分
3). Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become “in” among American young people?
A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.
B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.
C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.
D. Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.
& && &满分：2&&分
4). What can we learn from the passage?
Young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.
B. Young people of sixties like soap operas more than people today.
C. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.
D. The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.
& && &满分：2&&分
5). What message does the author want to convey to us?
A. A. The people’s favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.
B. The people’s favorites to drama works change along with the times.
C. The people’s favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera.
D. The people’s favorites have changed the drama works.

Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.
How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1990 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.
Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of year. Parch it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.
1). What’s the meaning for the word “parchment”?

Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders.
“In my opinion,” the first man said, “the Egyptian pyramids（埃及金字塔）are the world's greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.”
“I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful,” the second man said, “but I do not think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds，they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.”
He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world?”
The third man thought for a long time，and then he said, “Well，I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.”
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos?” they exclaimed. “But that's a simple thing.”

The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage（孤儿院）knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage, she learned something else－to be independent. At twenty-one，she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then，in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.
Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. “My English just wasn't good enough.” she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.
Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987, she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places－China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.
The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.
1). Before Mary Cheung was brought to the orphanage，she had lived in the streets for many years.
& && &满分：2&&分
2). The sentence &orphanage girls could be something& means that orphanage girls could be popular and successful.
