I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended , as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home . So I left home one mor

28、ning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待) . I was quite wrong. Then man wouldnt even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and, the fourth-so I decided that my approach must be wrong. I w

29、ent into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “Ill give you twenty po

30、unds.” “Its got a slightly broken leg,”I said. “Yes I saw that, its nothing.”Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? Youve just sold it to me

31、,” he said. “Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. Im sorry; Ill give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “Youre right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and

32、said, Would you mend this chair for me?” “I wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But Ill mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing .56.We can learn from th

33、e text that in the first shop the writer . Awas rather impolite Bwas warmly received Casked the shopkeeper to buy his chair Dasked the shopkeeper to repair his chair 57.The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper .Achanged his mind Baccepted the offer Csaw the write

34、rs purpose Ddecided to help the writer 58.From the text , we can learn that the writer was .来源:学.科.网Ahonest Bcareful CsmartDfunnyBIn a recently published book, I came across some exercises with interesting names such as fishbone diagrams, lotus flowers, and clustering. As I used these exercises in m

35、y classes, I noticed that students were interested. They said more and wrote more. They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them in groups. They were no longer passively waiting for the bell, but actively took part in the lesson. I find that creativity (创新)can act as a way to increase partici

36、pation and improve fluency (流利程度).Creativity has become a popular word in recent years. Scholar in the arts, psychology (心理学), business, education, and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it. Robert J. Sternberg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He def

37、ines creativity as the ability to produce work that is both new (original) and appropriate (applicable to the situation). This definition is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way, and to use it correctly and properly. Most scholars say there are two types of creativity: big “C

38、” creativity and small “c” creativity. Big “C” creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. Small “c” creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation. Our emphasis is on the latter. While it goes without

39、 saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or Edison, our aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in new ways.59. The underlined words “waiting for the bell” in the first paragraph probably mean _.A. longing for a phone call B. hoping to have a bell C. ex

40、pecting the end of the class D. wanting to speak in class60. It can be inferred from the passage that the author thought the exercises in the book were _.A. popular B. useful C. scientific D. creative61. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. show how useful the book is B. explain what creativit

41、y isC. discuss how one can be creative D. tell what teaching aims atCWhen a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude

42、to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the worlds great religions (宗教) order us to be open-hearted and s

43、hare what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally (道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let u

44、s look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs.

45、 Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing ones sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think b

46、eggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness

47、 of the giver. 62. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Moral deeds of people.B. Religious activities of the church.C. Moral goodness of the giver.D. Arguments on giving money to beggars.63. What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?A. People no l

48、onger know who suffers misfortune in the village.B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.C. We dont meet with those who need help any more.D. Now it is the governments duty to help the beggars.64. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people dress up to

49、 pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.65. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion.Because _.A. the cases can be so di

50、fferentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different argumentsDIn a certain store where they sell puddings, a number of these delicious things are laid out in a row during the Christmas season. Here you may select the one which is most to your taste, and

51、you are even allowed to sample them before coming to a decision.I have often wondered whether some people, who had no intention of making a purchase, would take advantage of this privilege. One day I asked this question of the shop girl, and I learned it was indeed the case. “Now theres one old gent

52、leman, for instance,” she told me, “he comes here almost every week and samples each one of the puddings, though he never buys anything, and I suspect he never will. I remember him from last year and the year before that, too. Well, let him come if he wants it, and welcome to it. And whats more, I h

53、ope there are a lot more stores where he can go and get his share. He looks as if he needed it all right, and I suppose they can afford it.”She was still speaking when an elderly gentleman limped up to the counter and began looking closely at the row of puddings with great interest. “Why, thats the

54、very gentleman Ive been telling you about,” whispered the shop girl. “Just watch him now.” And then turning to him: “Would you like to sample them, sir? Heres a spoon for you to use. “The elderly gentleman, who was poorly but neatly dressed, accepted the spoon and began eagerly to sample one after a

55、nother of the puddings, only breaking off occasionally to wipe his red eyes with a large torn handkerchief. “This is quite good”. “This is not bad either, but a little too heavy”. All the time it was quite evident that he sincerely believed that he might eventually buy one of these puddings, and I a

56、m positive that he did not for a moment feel that he was in any way cheating the store. Poor old chap! Probably he had come down in the world and this sampling was all that was left him from the time when he could afford to come and select his favorite pudding.Amidst the crowd of happy, prosperous l

57、ooking Christmas shoppers, the little black figure of the old man seemed pitiful and out of place, and in a burst of benevolence, I went up to him and said:“Pardon me, sir, will you do me a favor? Let me purchase you one of these puddings. It would give me such pleasure.”He jumped back as if he had

58、been stung, and the blood rushed into his wrinkled face.“ Excuse me,” he said, with more dignity than I would have thought possible considering his appearance, “I do not believe I have the pleasure of knowing you. Undoubtedly you have mistaken me for someone else.” And with a quick decision he turne

59、d to the shop girl and said in a loud voice, “Kindly pack me up this one here. I will take it with me.” He pointed at one of the largest and most expensive of the puddings.The girl took down the pudding from its stand and started to make a parcel of it, While he pulled out a worn little black pocket

60、book and began counting out shillings and pennies on to the counter. To save his “honor”, he had been forced into a purchase which he could not possibly afford. How I longed for the power to unsay my tactless words! It was too late though, and I felt that the kindest thing I could do now would be wa

61、lk away.“You pay at the desk,” the shop girl was telling him, but he did not seem to understand and kept trying to put the coins into her hand. And that was the last I saw or heard of the old man. Now he can never go there to sample puddings and more.66. By saying it was indeed the case. , the autho

62、r meant that _.A. many shoppers would sample pudding before buying themB. some people just sampled pudding but didnt buy themC. the Christmas season was the time to promote pudding sales.D. there were various kinds of puddings on sale during the Christmas sale.67. From the girls words, we know that

63、she _ A. felt pity for the old man B. looked down upon the old manC. thought poorly of sampling pudding D. worked in the shop for a few months68 .The old man finally bought a pudding because _A. he had intended to buy the pudding B. the author gave him some moneyC. he was annoyed by the authors offe

64、r D. the shop girl asked him to purchase one69. Why did the author feel that he should walk away according to the passage ?A. He had something urgent to do B .He was quite angry with the old manC. He decided to pay the money for the pudding D. He found himself in a rather awkward way70. What does th

65、e passage imply?A. Helping others involves respect. B. Never judge a book by its cover.C. A man can do no more than he can. D.

66、in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. Scientific investigations (调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared, experiences are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necess

67、ary, and is usually more productive than working alone.Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.What comes first is to kee

68、p an open mind, becasue everyones ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. Thirdly, always work

69、 together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual support and trust often make a great difference.Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during

70、 these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do; take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as t

71、o ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. You are encouraged to k

72、eep records of the sources used each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. A format for exchanging information (e.g. photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present

73、 but also makes yourself easily understood. When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.After youve completed a task with your t

On average, each student read 5.34 books, which is definitely not adequate compared with their counterparts from the Western countries. It is upsetting to see the outcome.

But a recent survey shows students prefer to watch TV or surf the Internet rather than

85、 read books.The survey sets me thinking why fewer students choose to read books in their spare time. There are some reasons accounting for this phenomenon. First of all, most students are burdened with too much homework. Still others havent formed a habit of reading. They would rather spend their sp

86、are time on TV or the Internet for fun. However, reading has many benefits. Through reading we can learn more about the world. Besides, it can help us think better. Last but not least, reading can make our life more colourful.I think teachers are supposed to limit the amount of our homework so that we can have more time to read. For another, its a good idea to form reading clubs and learn from each other. 版权所有：高考资源网()
