    In the 1880s, Mark Twain established and operated his own publishing firm. He also became interested in various investments, especially an elaborate typesetting machine. He lost almost $200,000 in investments in the machine between 1881 and 1894. Also, his publishing company declared bankruptcy (破产) in April 1894. Thus, in January 1895, Mark Twain found himself publicly shamed by his inability to pay his debts.
    Mark Twain eventually recovered from his financial difficulties, through his continued writing and a successful lecture tour in 1895 and 1896. During this much-publicized tour, Twain lectured in such places as India, South Africa and Australia. By the time he returned, he had become an international hero. Twain enjoyed this attention, and his habits of smoking cigars or a pipe and wearing unconventional white suits contributed to his showy image. He also made use of his position as a public figure to criticize the US foreign policy.

Suzy, his oldest daughter, died of meningitis (脑膜炎) in 1896, while her parents and sister Clara were abroad.

His youngest daughter, Jean, died on Dec. 24, 1909.
    64. Which is not the reason why Mark Twain found himself in debt?
    Because he devoted all his energy to his writings.
    Because his publishing firm bankruptcy.
    He lost almost $ 200 000 in investments in the machine between 1881 and 1894
    Because he lost a large quantity of money in various investments.

    A.  By borrowing money from the bank.
    B.  By investing in foreign countries.
    By writing articles and a successful lecture tour.
    By printing his own articles and selling them for money.
    66. It can be inferred that Mark Twain ________________.
    hated smoking cigars
    liked wearing black clothes
    hated the US foreign policy at that time

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
    A
    It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said . “Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life.” At my inquiry, he answered, “Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave.”
    As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague’s words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn’t the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired. I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.
    A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades. I found a note a student ahd slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for beign her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class—not about math, but about life—would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.
    Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication and a deeper sense of satisfaction – I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.
    56. How did the author feel when he heard his colleague’s description of graduation for the first time?
    A. He quite agreed with his colleague.        B. He was very puzzled.
    C. He thought it very funny.                D. He was very sad.
    57. The computer science student called up the author because he ___________.
    A. wanted to inform the author of his present job
    B. thought the author wasn’t fit to be a teacher
    C. wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction
    D. tried to persuade the author to work with him
    58. What does the underlined part “blue hats and gowns” in the last paragraph refer to?
    A. University colleagues                B. Life memories.
    C. Graduates’ clothes.                  D. Decorations in the hall.
    59. The author wrote the passage to _________.
    A. express his devotion to being a teacher    B. compare two different graduation ceremonies
    C. talk about the meaning of graduation      D. give-advice on how to be a good teacher
