Despite the fact that it has never been seen,almost everyone is familiar with the legendary

unicorn（獨(dú)角獸）．Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times．The great philosopher Aristotle theorized that there were two types of unicorn— the so-called Indian Ass and the Oryx, a kind of antelope．Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town council or university as their special sign．Even Scotland is represented by a unicorn．

According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious

as it has a reputation for being very fierce．A clever trick suggested by unicorn-trappers, in order to catch this magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn, was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged．Hopefully, the creature could then be captured when its horn was stuck in the tree．

 When hollowed out and used as a drinking-cup, the unicorn’s horn was said to have the

power to offer protection against poison．It was believed that nobody could be harmed by drinking the contents of a unicorn’s horn．Right up until the French Revolution in 1789, the French court was said to have used cups made of “unicorn” horn in order to protect the king.In addition, the horn was said to have medicinal value, so much so that it could be sold for more than ten times the price of the same weight of gold．What, then, was “unicorn” horn? We know at times the rhino (犀牛) was confused with this legendary creature．A drinking-cup supposedly made of “unicorn” horn was discovered to be made of the horn of a rhino．

56．Which of the following is TRUE of the unicorn?

A．It was not historically recorded.

B．Its horn was first used in France.

C．It was similar to the Indian Ass and the Oryx.

D．It could be the symbol of a university.

A．tempting the unicorn to attack            B．making use of the tree as a protection

C．hiding quickly behind the unicorn          D．having the unicorn horn stuck in the tree

58．The last paragraph is mainly about __    __．

A．the properties of the unicorn horn       

B．the users of the unicorn horn

C．the price of the unicorn horn           

D．the comparison between the unicorn horn and the rhino horn

59．In the last paragraph, the word “unicorn ” is in quotation marks (引號) because ____   _．

A．the cup is designed only for a royal family         

B．the unicorn does not exist in reality

C．the unicorn is the rarest animal in the world

Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days or more．And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! So in order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation—or space hotels．What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel—private rooms, meals, bars．But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views—of Earth and space—and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity—including sports and other activities that make use of this．

   The hotels themselves will vary greatly—from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structures at a later date．It’s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published．This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible．

    Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity．There are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports．Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below．

    Of course all good things have come to an end, unfortunately. And so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back though you’ll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived．You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again—or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel!

72．When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because

_______．

A．It is expensive to travel in space

B．they would find the possible life in other star systems

C．they could enjoy the luxury of space hotels

73．Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer?

A．The gravitational pull.                         B．The special views．

C．The relaxation in a bar．                             D．The space walk．

74．Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?

A．When was the space traveling made possible?

B．What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer?

C．Why were there not many published designs for space hotels?

D．How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels?

75．This passage is mainly about ________．

A．traveling in space                                  B．the ways of living in space hotels

him among the competitors. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her．

Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value．The concept dates back to 1623,when the first patent law to protect IP rights was passed．IP rights protect an artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another．For example, if somebody generates an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights．If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use．Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing,but today, intellectual property rights, are also enjoyed by those who create music, art and literature．

In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether: the Internet．Many years ago, if you wanted a recording of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, from a book store．In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it．However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the Internet．This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights．

68．According to the writer, in the beginning, IP rights were mainly of use to ____  __．

A．those creating music, art and literature

B．novelists

C．engineers and inventors

D．those not receiving financial reward for their work

69．What do we know about the Internet according to the passage?

A．It makes IP rights harder to protect．

B．It sells songs and films．

C．It does not affect the way we understand IP rights．

D．It prevents the production of artwork．

70．According to Paragraph 2, what has “taken the world by storm”?

A．Intellectual property rights．

B．The Internet．

C．Free downloading．

D．The large number of songs, films and books．

71．A possible title for this passage could be _____  _．

A．A History of IP Rights                        B．Ways to Protect Your IP Rights

C．The Present and the Future of IP        D．IP Rights and Our Attitudes
