28、 was my mother who taught me the meaning of honesty. Not because she actually was honest, but because she lied all the time. She felt that the easiest way out of any given situation was generally the best way out. And, for her, that generally meant telling a “little white lie”. As a young child I th

29、ought it was kind of cool. And, naturally, when I would come to her with a concern or question wondering what I should do, she generally advised me to lie.“Mom, I told Theresa that I would go over to her house, but now I would rather go to Sues house to play.”“Tell Theresa youre sick，” she would adv

30、ise. And generally I did. But I didnt seem blessed with her lack of conscience. On many painful occasions Theresa would find out that I really went to Sues house without her. These occasions taught me that it is more painful to be caught in a lie than it is to tell the truth in the first place. I wo

31、ndered how it was possible that my mother had never learned that lesson.I started thinking of all the lies that Id heard her tell. I remembered the time she told someone that her favorite restaurant had closed, because she didnt want to see them there anymore. Or the time she told Dad that she loved

32、 the lawnmower he gave her for her birthday. Or when she claimed that our phone lines had been down when she was trying to explain why she hadnt been in touch with a friend of hers for weeks. And what bothered me even more were all the times she had involved me into her lies. Like the time she told

33、my guidance counselor that I had to miss school for exploratory surgery, when she really needed me to babysit. And it even started to bother me when someone would call for her and she would ask me to tell them that she wasnt there.So, I started my own personal fight against her dishonesty. When I an

34、swered the phone and it was someone my mother didnt want to talk to, I said, “Louise, mom is here, but she doesnt want to talk to you.” The first time I did it, she punished me, but I refused to apologize. I told her that I had decided that it was wrong to lie. And the next time it happened I did th

35、e same thing. Finally, she approached me and said, “I agree that lying is not the best thing to do, but we need to find a way to be honest without being rude.” She admitted that her methods werent right, and I admitted that mine were a bit too extreme.Over the past few years, the two of us have work

36、ed together to be honestand yet kind. Honesty should mean more than not lying. It should mean speaking the truth in kindness. Though I started by trying to teach my mom the importance of honesty, I ended up gaining a deeper understanding of the meaning of the term.56. The authors mother _.A. thought

37、 white lies were not lies B. helped the author get out of trouble with white liesC. told the author to lie when in troubleD. taught the author the importance of being honest57. The author _.A. was thankful to her mothers adviceB. felt more awkward when being caught lyingC. found that telling the tru

38、th hurt more than telling a lieD. felt guilty when hurting people with her honesty58. It can be inferred that the authors mother _.A. met her friends in the same restaurant regularlyB. didnt get along well with the authors teachersC. was not popular among her friendsD. wanted to have something else

39、for her birthday59. Finally the author and her mother agreed that _.A. kindheartedness is more important than honestyB. appropriate methods are the key to telling a good lieC. honesty is defined as kindness as well as truthfulnessD. absolute honesty is basic to good interpersonal relationshipsBSingi

40、ng are the pupils of the remote Beau-Roc primary school in Haiti. One of them plays a guitar made from an empty oil tin. Their headmistress, Emile Jean-Noel, is one of the few women school principals in the country. Over 70 % of Haitian population live below the poverty line with inadequate food, wa

41、ter, schools, or housing. To reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school, meals are provided by the World Food Programme. “We are so cut off we have many difficulties,” comments Emile, adding that finding chalk, school books and other materials

42、is practically impossible. Emile tries to encourage those around her to make use of all available resources. Her efforts are bearing fruit. One of her successes was convincing local women to contribute to their childrens schooling and increase their own income by selling embroidery(刺绣) and other han

43、dicrafts. Recent political instability has meant that the country has not invested in education for ten years. Enrolment(入学) is a mere 44 per cent and a little less than a half of those entering primary school finish it. Less than a third of these go on to secondary school. In rural areas it is not

44、rare to find 17- and 18 year-olds in primary school. Beau-Roc has only 4 teachers for 260 pupils. Emile works constantly to improve her pupils environment. Under her direction, a local worker is now constructing a storehouse for the food delivered regularly by the World Food Programme.Not only is Em

45、iles salary too little, but she receives it irregularly. For her, transport is a real headache. She lives five kilometers away and has to take a privately-owned bus, costing more than she can afford.“The decision to be a rural teacher in Haiti should not be taken lightly”, Emile comments. “With all

46、the sacrifices and risks it requires, only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it.” Nevertheless, Emile loves her job. “I always feel at home with the children and, the parents understand what Im doing.”60. What theme is presented in this passage?A. Devotion to education. B. Poverty

47、and hardship. C. Politics and children D. Love and beauty 61. Which of the following is extremely difficult for Beau-Roc primary school?A. Teaching the women how to make embroidery and other handicrafts.B. Persuading local women to care about their childrens education.C. Encouraging those around her

48、 to use those available resources.D. Finding chalk, school books and other materials.62. The many figures in the 4th paragraph indicate _.A. political instability in Haiti B. poor investment in Haitian education C. challenges in Emiles life D. Emiles constant efforts 63. In the last paragraph, “thos

49、e who are really cut out for teaching” are those who are _.A. dismissed from teachingB. unfamiliar with teaching C. qualified for teachingD. cautious about teaching CThe British royal family is about to be slimmed down. The queen plans to reduce the number of real royals, it was recently announced.

50、However, there seems little sign of the monarchy(君主) disappearing completely. Up till the 17th century, the British king or queen was believed to rule by “divine (神的) right”, which was the idea that God chose the king or queen to rule and that he or she was therefore above the law. However, this ide

51、a ended with the English Revolution, in which King Charles the first was imprisoned and then killed in 1649. So what role does the British royal family have today?Well, the Queen has important formal duties: as Head of State, the Queen represents the UK on visits abroad and invites other world leade

52、rs to visit the UK. As Head of the Armed Forces, only the Queen can declare when the UK is at war or when war was over. The Queen also has constitutional duties: She has to sign many government and Commonwealth documents every day. In addition, the royal family spends a great deal of its time travel

53、ing up and down the country in support of different charity projects.But the public in Britain do not believe there should be a royal family. Sometimes, the press and media criticize the royal family as well.One criticism is that British people should not have to pay for the royal family through the

54、ir taxes. Today, the royal family works hard to be relevant in the modern world. The queens speech on TV is less formal every Christmas, and is now available as a podcast (播客). In 2005, after graduation for university, Prince William spent time teaching English in Uruguay, the sort of work many youn

55、g British people do at some time in their lives. 64. What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?A. The British king or queen is about to become common people.B. The British king or queen is no longer believed to rule by divine right. C. The English Revolution put an end to the British royal

56、 family in 1649. D. The royal familys role was most important in Britain in the 17th century.65. Which of the following is NOT among formal duties of the Queen?A. Travelling around the world for charity projects. B. Declaring when the UK is at war. C. Inviting other world leaders to visit the UK.D.

57、Signing Commonwealth documents every day. 66. Prince William is mentioned in the passage to show that _.A. he is popular in the UKB. many young British people do voluntary work C. he has tried to win young peoples admirationD. the royal family is trying to change their image 67. We can infer from th

58、e passage that _.A. British people are all in favor of the royal family B. the public are encouraged to oppose the royal familyC. the British royal family are facing surviving challenges D. British youths are required to teach English in Uruguay in their livesDJust as the worlds most respected scien

59、tific bodies have confirmed that the world is getting hotter, they have also stated that there is strong evidence that humans are driving the warming. Countless recent reports from the worlds leading scientific bodies have said the same thing. For example, a 2010 summary of climate science by the Ro

60、yal Society stated that: “There is strong evidence that the warming of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity.”The idea that humans could change the planets climate may be counter-intuitive(与直觉不符的), but the basic science is well understood. Each year, human ac

61、tivity causes billions of tons of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. As scientists have known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.Of course, the planets climate has always been changing thanks to “natura

62、l” factors such as changes in solar or volcanic activity, or cycles relating the Earths going around the sun. According to the scientific literature, however, the warming recorded to date matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere not the warmi

63、ng we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming observed so far, that would beg a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it in The Rough Guide to Climate Change: “If some newly discovered factor can account for the clima

64、te change, then why arent carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths one with human in

65、fluence and one without. That obviously isnt possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty. 68In most scientists opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by _.Asolar activity Bvolcanic activity Cthe Earths going around the sun Dhuman activity6

66、9The underline word “identical” means _. Atotally different Bexactly the same Cextremely important Drelatively independent70Which of the following can be the best title? AHow can we stop global warming? BWhere Is Global Warming Leading Us to? CAre Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming? DWhats Rel
