13、e idea about the phoenix goes back to Ancient Egypt, where we find the phoenix described as a handsome, eagle-like bird, with part-golden, part-red plumage, that spent most of its life in the Arabian deserts. It was rarely seen and according to one version of the story, only appeared in Egypt once e

14、very five hundred years, when it flew to Heliopolis, “city of the sun”, and deliberately burnt itself to ashes by settling on the altar (祭坛) flame there! However, it seems it did not really die because from those same ashes a young, fully formed phoenix was born and flew away, apparently back to Ara

15、bia.It is pretty obvious that no one has ever seen or will see a living phoenix. The interesting thing is that we can find certain clues which may explain one aspect of the Egyptians idea. It may sound unbelievable, but some birds are apparently quite charmed by flames and small fires, especially me

16、mbers of the crow family. One zoologist actually proved this by setting fire to some straw near to a tame（驯养的）rook, a large black bird like a crow. Far from becoming nervous and backing away, the bird deliberately stood over the flames, with raised and vibrating wings. It didnt get burnt, but the im

17、age it presented by its strange behavior was almost exactly like that shown in illustrations of the mythical phoenix! Why birds should occasionally behave in this strange way is not clear. One idea is that they carefully use the heat of the flames to relieve the annoyance caused by their feather mit

18、es (虱) which all birds have. Whatever the reason, it is quite possible that the Ancient Egyptians saw birds behaving in this way, from time to time, and used it as the basis of their phoenix myth, adding fanciful details which closely linked it to their worship of the sun and their belief in resurre

19、ction. Nowadays, the phoenix is much less important to us than it was to the Egyptians. But the logo of modern fire insurance companies, which employ the phoenix as one of their symbols, refers that in one sense the idea of it remains. 26. According to the passage, the phoenix _ . A. is a handsome a

20、nd eagle-like bird living in Arab B. used to be seen when the Egyptians held religious activities C. has never really existed in the world D. is the king of all kinds of birds27. The reason why birds stand above flames is probably that _ . A. the phoenix used to do so B. they may get rid of the mite

21、s C. they want to burn their feather D. they can heat themselves28. Which of the following statements is NOT correct? A. The ancient Egyptians worshiped the phoenix. B. The scientists have discovered why birds are attracted by fire. C. The modern people still favor the idea of the phoenix. D. The my

22、thical tales about the phoenix were based on facts. 29. Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “resurrection” in the 3rd paragraph?A. living foreverB. offering warmthC. coming back to lifeD. staying healthy30. What does the phoenix probably mean in the logo of a fire insurance comp

23、any? A. Our company can protect you from being harmed by fire. B. If your property is destroyed by fire, we will help you build it up again. C. Our company will always be energetic and wealthy. D. If needed, we will save you at the risk of losing lives.B Making an apology is not the same as making a

24、mends. Sometimes we apologize just because its the easiest thing to do. Whats actually important is to identify where we go wrong, take full responsibility for our mistakes and , if possible, try to make up for them.A recent case involving Hewlett-Packed, the US computer giant, shows the importance

25、of presenting a sincere apology. The Chinese consumers who had bought notebook computers of certain models, which have been put on Chinese market since 2007, suffered a massive flash screen failures and overheating problems. Through investigation, Chinese AQSIQ (国家质检总局) identified these HP computers

26、 had quality problems and HP admitted this. HP made a proposal that they would extend the warranty (保修) period of such computers, but this could not satisfied the consumers. What they needed was a thorough description of the truth. HP has “sincerely” apologized. But the consumers remain angry, and s

27、ay that only a product recall as HP has done in the past will prove that the apology is sincere.Another apology that fell flat on its face was that of Thierry Henry, the famous French footballer. His deliberate handball in November 2009 created the goal which knocked Ireland out of the 2010 World Cu

28、p. The incident caused great anger in the football world, and eventually Henry issued an apology. Two days later, he wrote, “Im not the refereebut if I hurt someone Im sorry.” Better late than never, perhaps, but even then he passed the blame onto the referee!Such high-profile cases, which attract a

29、 lot of publicity often under the spotlight, but similar incidents occur in our everyday lives. Stress caused by schoolwork and tiredness can sometimes result in outbursts of anger against friends and family. Have you ever lost your temper for minor reasons? After calming down, most people are quick

30、 to realize their mistake and apologize. But its just as important to identify what caused the error in the first place and take action to ensure it doesnt happen again.No one should hold a negative attitude to making a sincere apology. Empty words are easy to say, but they are as useless as they so

31、und. A real show of remorse（痛悔;自责）demands hard work and commitment to put error right. 31. What does the author intend to tell us in the case of HP? A. A true apology needs sincere actions. B. HP should recall all the faulty computers. C. Good quality makes a good company. D. A company should apolog

32、ize and pay for their mistakes.32. According to the author, when we do anything wrong we firstly _. A. make an apology face to face honestly B. admit we were wrong and try to make the wrong right C. take the responsibility for apologizing to others D. choose the easiest thing to do33.

33、rom the case of Thierry Henry that _ . A. its never too late to say “Im sorry.” B. writing an apology is not a good idea C. Henry didnt identify his fault. D. the football fans were mad with Henry.34. Which of the following can best explain the word “commitment” in the last paragraph? A. Decision.B.

34、 Promise. C. Agreement.D. Responsibility.35. Whats the best title of this passage? A. What really puts things rightB. Dont apologize easily C. Making an apology no one is out of exception D. How to judge an apology sincere enough?C Drawings of human colonies on other planets often picture the entire

35、 community under a glass or plastic bubble. The bubble is intended to create an atmosphere with adequate oxygen and other essential elements. But similar bubble-like structures have also been constructed on earth. One of the most famous, and controversial, is a site in the Arizona desert. Biosphere

36、2, as it is called, was built not far from Tucson in 1984 and is now run by Columbia University. This huge（7,200,000-cubic-foot）glass and steel construction contains several separate ecosystems, including a desert, a rain forest, and a 900,000-gallon “ocean.” The climatic conditions-humidity, temper

37、ature, air quality-are regulated by sensors and can be adjusted as needed or desired. For example, a rainstorm can be created to increase the humidity. The adjustable features of Biosphere 2 make it an ideal location to perform experiments to help determine the effects of such climatic changes as gl

38、obal warming. The current conditions at Biosphere 2 are vastly different from those in 1993, when eight people who had moved into the environment with great fanfare two years earlier moved out in failure. Though promising to be self-sufficient（自足的）, these “colonists” had so much trouble regulating t

39、he environment that they reportedly had food smuggled into them. Oxygen levels became dangerously low; most plants and animals died. In taking over the unsuccessful site, Columbia hopes to erase its notorious past by focusing on small research projects that gradually answer some of Biosphere 1s that

40、 is, Earths most basic environment questions.36This passage primarily deals with _.Aconditions of life in Biosphere 2Bbuilding controlled environments on other planetsCwhy Biosphere 2 failed in the pastDwhat makes a good biosphere colonist37Biosphere 2 is now run by _.Aa group of eight colonistsBCol

41、umbia UniversityCthe city of TucsonDscientists who hope to establish Biosphere 338The passage suggests that earlier colonists of Biosphere 2 _.Adid not like living in a controlled environmentBfound it very difficult to live in a controlled environmentCstill are involved with Biosphere 2Dhave now lef

42、t the country in disgrace39The writer helps you understand what Biosphere 2 is like by _.Acomparing its features with those of an outer space biosphereBexplaining the process by which it was constructedCreferring to an interview with one of former inhabitantsDdescribing its appearance and conditions

43、40In paragraph 3 the word “notorious” means _.Awell known for something good Bwell known for something badCvery dangerous Dquite interesting DMr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr.

44、 Johnson took the only escape route through the boot (行李箱). Mr. Johnsons car had finished up in a ditch at Romney Marsin Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldnt force the doors open because they were jammed ag

45、ainst the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.” Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to

46、 escape. Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.” It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, a

47、nd a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down i

48、nto the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.” His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmers wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car whe
