banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same. 61. A bank run happens when _____.

Passage Four
The energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction , and only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower (马力) per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Waterpower results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating effects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar engine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly efficient, in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.
66. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?
A. 100% but indirectly B. 5% C. 50%
D. only a very tiny amount
67. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that _____.
A. only a very small part is available B. the sun is too distant from the earth
C. it takes thousands of years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oil D. our scientific knowledge is not sufficient 68. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Even windmill’s action depends on the sun.
B. The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of
C. Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth. D. The sun produces different heating effects in different places.
69. In order to support this argument, the writer gives the example that _____.
A. a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developed B. the sun is our final source of power
C. man uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energy
D. the part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly 70. This passage centers mainly on _____.
A. harnessing energy through chemistry B. our last source of power
27
C. how water power is produced
D. the amount of solar energy that can be utilized

Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D below the passage. You should choose the one that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us. When humans first 71, they were like newborn children, unable to use this 72 tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kind’s future 73 and cultural growth increased.
Many linguists believe that evolution is 74 for our ability to produce and use language. They 75 that our highly evolved brain provides us 76 an innate language ability not found in lower 77. Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 78 for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, 79 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical 80 times for language development.
Current 81 of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. 82, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 83 grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being 84 to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 85 of their first language have become firmly fixed.
86 some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been 87 from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that 88 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 89 than any innate capacities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. 90, children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones. 71. A. generated 72. A. valuable 73. A. attainments 74.
