Becket not only travelled light, he lived light. In all the world he owned just the clothes he stood up in. a full suitcase and a bank account. Arriving anywhere with these possessions, he might just as easily put up for a month or a year as for a single night. For long stays, not less than a month, he might take a furnished flat. sometimes even a house. But whatever the length he rarely needed anything he did not have with him. He was, he liked to think, a self-contained person.
Becket had one occasional anxiety: the suspicion that he owned more than would fit comfortably into the case. The feeling, when it came, was the signal for him to throw something away or just leave it lying about. This was the automatic fate of his worn - out clothes for example. Having no use for choice or variety, he kept just a raincoat, a suit, a pair of shoes and a few shirts, socks and so on; no more in the clothing line. He bought and read many books, and left them wherever he happened to be sitting when he finished them. They quickly found new owners.
Becket was a professional traveller, interested and interesting. He was not one to "do" a country in a week or a city in three days. He liked to get the feel of a place by living in it, reading its newspapers, watching its TV, discussing its affairs. He always tries to make a few friends-if necessary even by stopping a suitable — looking person in the street and talking to him. It worked well in about one case in ten. Though Becket's health gave him no cause for alarm, he made a point of seeing a doctor as soon as he arrived anywhere. "A doctor knows a place and its people better than anyone, "he used to say. He never went to see a doctor, he always sent for one; that, he found, was the quickest way to confidences, which came out freely as soon as he mentioned that he was a writer.
Becket was an artist as well. He painted pictures of his places and, when he had gathered enough information, he wrote about them. He sold his work, through an agent, to newspapers and magazines. It was an agreeable sort of life for a good social mixer, who lived nearly always in fine weather, and as Becket never stayed anywhere for long, he enjoyed the satisfying advantage of paying very little in tax.
51. What do we know about Becket's possessions?
A. He had enough baggage to stay for one night.
B. He carried all of them around with him.
C. He had thrown or given them away.
D. He left most of his things at home when he travelled.
52. If anything worried Becket, it was _______.
A. The thought of having too much baggage.
B. His habit of leaving things lying about.
C. The fact that he owned so little.
D. The poor state of his clothes.
53. What was the usual result when Becket talked to strangers in the street?
A. People thought he was ill and sent for a doctor.
B. He made many new friends.
C. The people he spoke to felt annoyed with him.
D. The approach often failed in its purpose
54. How did Becket feel about taxation?
A. It worried him, so he kept moving from place to place.
B. He hated it, so he broke the tax laws.
C. He was pleased that he could honestly avoid it.
D. He felt ashamed of not paying taxes.
55. What does light in the first sentence of the first paragraph mean?
A. not heavy B. bright
C. soft D. not having much cases and possessions
(D)
The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference (电磁干扰). The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation(航空) industry, has recommended that all airline ban such devises from being used during "critical" stages of flights. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flight. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airline. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to place a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.
The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft's computers. Experts know that portable devices give out radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.
The fact that aircraft may be damaged by interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can't hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music's too loud.
56. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. effective safety measures for air flight
B. a possible cause of aircraft crashes
C. the faults of electronic devices
D. a new regulation for all airlines
57. Few airlines want to place a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because ____.
A. they have other effective safety measures to fall back on
B. they don't believe there is such a danger as radio interference
C. the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved
D. most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players
58. Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane's computers?
A. Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.
B. Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct research on an airplane.
C. Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are easier to be interfered with.
D. Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.
59. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ______.
A. hasn't formed his own opinion on this problem
B. has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interference
C. regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flight
D. is in favor of prohibiting passengers' use of electronic devices completely
60. The last paragraph tell us that author is attitude is _____________
A. concerned B. skeptical C. pessimistic D. positive
