If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a warSometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to writeFor example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after themBut we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write Sometimes, of course，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the pastThey have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the pastThis we may call remembered historySome of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writingBut where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful46. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?A“Remembered history”，compared with written history，is less reliableBWritten records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human historyCA written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questionsDWhere there are no written records, there is no history47. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _Athere was nothing worth being written down at that timeB . the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordCthe written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireDthe people there did not know how to write48. “Remembered history” refers to _Ahistory based on a persons imaginationB . stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC . songs and dances about the most important eventsD . both B and C49. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when _.A. it is written down B . no written account is availableCit proves to be time Dpeople are interested in it50. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had _Akept a written record of every past event B. not burnt their written records in warsCtold exact stories of the most important happeningsDmade more songs and dances参考答案：DDDBA22. Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way.Our expression today is “to face the music”. When someone says, “Well, I guess Ill have to face the music,” it does not mean hes planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didnt do this or that. Awful music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember fathers angry voice, “I want to talk to you.” and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting to go on the stage. When they got their cue(提示) to go on, they often said, “Well, its time to face the music.” And that was exactly what they didfacing the orchestra(管弦乐队) which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression “to face the music” came to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.”Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced an inspection(视察) by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shiny enough to pass the inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection. What else could they do?Another army explanation is more closely linked to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. For example, when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse. 59. How many ways does the phrase “to face the music” comes from? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.60.
