Crystal was a reporter for her school’s newspaper, The Real Story. She'd done several different
kinds of stories before, but never anything like the story she was about to do. During an interview,
the school nurse, Mrs. Jones, had told Crystal that the school had a secret basement. Crystal was
eager to find out what was in the basement. It could be just about anything! So Crystal asked the
newspaper’s advisor, Mr. Adair, if she could do a feature on the school’s basement. He agreed with
her that the basement might be a fascinating story, especially since a lot of people weren’t
even aware that it existed.
Crystal got permission from the headmaster to go down into the basement as long
as some teachers went with her. So Mr. Adair and Mrs. Jones accompanied Crystal when she went
to explore the basement. The guard unlocked the basement door, and Crystal and the two teachers
slowly descended the narrow staircase. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Mrs. Jones
turned on the light, and she, Mr. Adair, and Crystal began to look around.
Crystal soon discovered a large set of bookshelves with a collection of old dusty books on
them. “What are those?” she wondered aloud. Neither of the two teachers knew, so Crystal made
her way over to look more closely at the books. They turned out to be yearbooks from every year
since the school opened. For almost an hour, Crystal, Mr. Adair, and Mrs. Jones paged slowly
through the yearbooks. They joked about the old-fashioned clothes and hair in the oldest books, and
they commented on some of the people they recognized. All of a sudden, Crystal knew the next
feature she wanted to write. These books were the school’s story just waiting to be told.
69. How did Crystal know about the basement?
A) From Mr. Adair. B) From Mrs. Jones.
C) From the headmaster. D) From the newspaper.

A) the school nurse B) the old yearbooks
C) the lost fashion D) an underground library.
74. What’s the purpose of the text?

文)：(12分)
Have you ever tried playing the kind of video games that your parents played?
The Museum of Science in Manchester, in the UK, has held an exhibition for
the last few years, which invites visitors to do ____75____ that. It offers them
the chance to play games from the last 40 years, in various sessions① throughout
the day.
These video game sessions have now become one of the main attractions of the museum. They
are full of people every day, playing a wide range of games. However, visitors often choose the
ones they're ____76____. For parents, for example, these are usually the games they used to play in
their childhood.
There’s also a(n) ____77____ purpose to the games. For instance, some old types of computer,
dating back 40 years, are also available in the sessions. They were originally used in classrooms to
teach pupils to write their own computer programs. And at the time, it helped lots of young people
to do that. Now, the museum is holding workshops that encourage children to learn similar skills —
and they’re still very popular.
The exhibition also shows how much ____78____ technology has made over the last 40 years.
Parents can often remember playing very simple games. But the games that are played today are
more complex. They have better storylines and animation, too. And the players also have to use
much more complicated techniques.
____79____, one serious side of the exhibition is that organizers also want to show that video
gaming is an important industry, employing many skilled people. So they hope the exhibition will
____80____ this message. That way, people who enjoy gaming will also understand all the hardwork, talent, imagination that goes into creating these amazing games.

A rare experience
Imagine the situation. You're walking down the crowded high street and s____81____ a
complete stranger stops you and says, “Hi! You were on the beach in the south of Spain six years
ago. How are you doing?” This stranger isn't necessarily m____81____. He or she might be a "super-
recogniser”. These are people who have the unusual ability to recognise people they have seen only
once — a long time ago, maybe in a crowd.
Whatever the differences in looks
It doesn’t matter what the person looks like now. People change, get different hair styles, dye
their hair or go grey. Wrinkles, new glasses and makeups give them new a____83____, but the
“super-recognisers” can still recognise them.
An inborn skill
Although scientists have known for a long time that about 2% of people suffer from face-
blindness, which means that they have huge problems recognising faces, they are only now realising
that some people are the exact o____84____. Tests have shown that a “super-recogniser” can identify
people that they only saw for a brief moment — and this is not an ability that we can d____85____,
it’s something we are born with.
A great h____86____
The police are starting to use “super-recognisers” to spot criminal faces in videos of crowds.
They look for people with a specific build and facial features like beards and moustaches but they
can even recognise quite o____87____ people, with no noticeable features at all. As well as surprising
our holidaymaker in Spain six years later, this ability can be used for a very practical purposeindeed.
D. Answer the questions (根据短文回答下列问题）（12分）
There once was a king who wanted to find the answers to what he considered the three most
important questions in life. The three questions are: when is the right time for every action, who are
the most important people, and what is the most important thing to do? The king consulted learned
men, promising he would richly reward① anyone who could answer the questions, but their
answers didn’t satisfy him. In the end, he decided to visit a wise hermit who lived in the woods. The
hermit would speak only with common people, so the king put on simple clothes.
When he got close to the hermit’s hut, he ordered his bodyguards to wait behind. He approached
the place and found the hermit digging. He asked the wise man his three questions, but the hermit
didn’t respond. Seeing how old and weak the hermit② was, the king began helping him dig. The
king dug for hours, but the hermit never answered his questions. Just as the king was about to leave, a
wounded man came running to the hut and fainted before them. Then the king carried the wounded
man to Hermit’s hut and took care of him. The king was exhausted and fell asleep as well. When he
awoke, he talked with the man, who said that he had wanted to kill the king but was wounded by
his bodyguards. He asked for forgiveness and promised to serve the king faithfully.
Afterwards, the king went outside and repeated his questions to the hermit once more. The
hermit replied, “If you had not helped me dig earlier, you would have left and been killed by the
man. So, the most important man back then was me, and the most important time was when you
were digging. The most important thing to do was to be kind to me. When the wounded man arrived,
he was the most important person, and saving him was the most important thing. By doing so, you
made peace with an enemy.”
The king finally had his three answers. The most important time is the present, as it’s the only
time we have the power to act. The most important person is the one you are with, and the most
important thing is always to____92____ .
①reward v. & n. 奖励；回报 ②hermit n. 隐士
