Most of them managed to get along fairly well, but oneFrancis Blustering, who had been wounded and who never recovered his strength was unable to work

19、 like others. In time he became very poor. Yet he was too proud to accept anything from the people in the village. Once, these veterans held a reunion dinner in the home of Jules Grandin, who had made a good deal of money. Grandin produced a curiosity（珍玩）a large old gold coin. Each man examined it w

20、ith interest as it passed around the long table. All, however, had drunk wine freely and the room was full of noisy talk, so that the gold piece was soon forgotten. Later, when Grandin remembered it and asked for it, the coin was missing.One of them suggested everyone be searched, to which all agree

21、d, except Blustering. “You refuse, then?” asked Grandin. Blustering said with a red face, “Yes, I cannot allow it.”One by one, the others turned out their pockets. When the coin failed to appear, attention was focused on poor Blustering. Under the pitying stares of his friends, he walked out and ret

22、urned to his home.A few years later, Grandin made his house repaired. A workman found the gold coin, buried in dirt between planks (木板) of the floor. Hurrying to Blusterings home, Grandin apologized to him. “But why didnt you allow yourself be searched?”“Because I was a thief,” Blustering said broke

23、nly. “For weeks we had not had enough to eat and my pockets were full of food that I had taken from the table to carry home to my wife and hungry children.”41Francis Blustering lived a poor life because _.A.he was badly wounded in the battleB.he was unable to work like ordinary peopleC.he was too pr

What can we learn from the story?A. Think twice before you make a judgment.B. Blustering is a poor father

26、 and husband.C. Blustering would rather live alone than be considered a thief.D. Blustering is an example we should learn from. BIn todays world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to peoples health. However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of

27、 pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and

28、who weave（织） cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noi

29、se produced by jet planes or machines will make peoples life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝） can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less

30、than 85 decibels.In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.45. The passage is mainly about _ . A. air pollution B. water pollution C. noise pollution D. world pollution 46. According to the passage, a continuous noise of _

31、decibels can make people deaf. A. less than 85 B. less than 65 C. about 65 D. more than 85 47. 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because _ . A. they are working in noisy places B. they often listen to pop music C. they live near airports D. they are too busy to listen to others

32、talk48. The government of China is trying to reduce _.A. only the air pollution B. only the air and water pollution C. only the water pollution D. the air, water and noise pollution CAnimals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has be

33、en shown that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins(维生素) to water without vitamins, even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a sweet smell was added to the vitamins-enriched water, the rats did seem to develop

34、 a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were changed to the clear water. In time(最后), however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In experiments, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a room with a wide choice of baby food before them.

35、 They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating habits, but that over a period of time they managed to choose a well-balanced diet.So in choosing food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on whats best for them.

36、Clearly, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by old habits. Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how many

37、 they eat seem to be greatly influenced by what is going around them.49. In the experiment on rats, a sweet smell was added to the rats drinking water to .A. encourage rats to drink vitamins-enriched waterB. find out rats preference in flavor(口味)C. test whether rats know which drink is good for them

39、e experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies were .A. given many choices of drinks B. given all kinds of baby foodC. placed and fed in a hospital D. trained to select a balanced diet52.

But

57、 shooting massacres (残杀) cast a tragic shadow over the holiday season in the US. On December 5, a gunman killed eight people, before taking his own life, at a shopping mall in Omaha, Nebraska. On December 9, five people, including the gunman, died in two attacks in Colorado. While people are busy tr

58、ying to discover the killers motives (动机), another issue is causing heated debate in the country - the weapon the killers used. The US is one of just a few developed Western countries that allow private possession of guns. Any adult can buy army style weapons from a handgun to an AK-47. “The right t

59、o own arms is a part of the Constitution (宪法). Many Americans believe it to be a fundamental freedom,” said Jonathan Haagen, who worked for Teens. When the United States was still a group of colonies, they dealt with a lot of corruption (腐败) from the British. Therefore, American people considered it

60、 a great danger for the government to have control of all the weapons. Private gun ownership was important in their fight for freedom. However, with more and more killings in schools and shopping malls, lots of Americans argue that they should do away with the right to bear arms. But the National Ri

61、fle Association (NRA) said this position violates (违反) the Constitution. The NRA is fond of saying it is not guns but people who kill. In some cases, this is true. But in many other cases, owning guns is what causes the murder. According to the US Department of Justice, more than 10,000 crimes a yea
