Every choice we make has an impact on our lives. Even insignificant

27、 choices can affect what we experience and how we feel. When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision, the greater its effect. For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I

28、generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way.How do you make choices?If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all

29、 of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you. This foundation is to choose based on whats best for all. Imagine a world where every parent, spouse(配偶), friend, teacher, businessperson, and politician truly did their best to choose whats best for all i

30、nvolved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.Its the intention.“But how do I know what is really best?” you might ask. The answer is simple. It doesnt matter. What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice. What

31、 matters is that whatever decision you make, you are clear in your intention of choosing based on whats best for all. If it later turns out that you made what appears to have been a bad choice, theres no need for guilt. Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for whats best fo

32、r all, your conscience stays clear and open. This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes, and to live with a clear heart and mind.Whats best for me, too!Choosing whats best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for other. An overly(过度的) exhausted mother can lose her te

33、mper easily. Some time off for this mother might seem selfish, yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children. So as we move through each day of our lives, let us remember to include ourselves as we do our best to choose whats best for all.56. According to the passage, wh

37、rn the death of King-Father Norodom Sihanouk, who died in Beijing this week. In an exclusive interview with CCTV, Chinas ambassador to Cambodia, Pan Guangxue, says Sihanouk made indelible(不可磨灭的) contributions to Sino-Cambodian relations and his death will not affect the friendship between the two co

38、untries.Since its founding, the Peoples Republic of China has maintained close contact with Cambodia. Bilateral(双边的) trade volume has increased rapidly in recent years, from 200 million US dollars in 2002 to nearly 2.5 billion US dollars in 2011.China is now not only Cambodias third largest trading

39、partner, but for many years has been Cambodias number one investor. Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodias “King-Father” pioneered the relationship.Pan Guangxue said, “If we look back at previous decades, I think Sihanouk made the right choice, a choice good to Cambodian national development. It was because of

40、 his commitment to the development of Sino-Cambodia friendship that weve achieved what we have today.”In 2010, the two countries established a comprehensive strategic partnership, during its Prime Minister Hun Sens visit to China.And 2013 is set to be China-Cambodia Friendship Year.Pan Guangxue said

41、, “Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on many occasions that China does not tell Cambodia what to do or what not to do. China does not point fingers at Cambodia. I think this is a true evaluation of Sino-Cambodian relations. China pursues an independent peaceful foreign policy of non-alignment(不结

42、盟) and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.”The ambassador says Sihanouks death is a huge loss to both China and Cambodia, but that bilateral relations will not be affected.Pan Guangxue said, “I believe the bilateral relationship will be sustained and grow even stronger.”With

43、 both countries enjoying the benefits of the fruitful relationship, the governments of China and Cambodia have promised that Sihanouks legacy(遗产) will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.60. We can learn from the passage that Sihanouk _. A. is the present Cambodian Prime MinisterB. w

44、ent for an interview with CCTV the other dayC. made the right choice to encourage investment in ChinaD. had great influence on Sino-Cambodian relations61. The following facts can prove the good Sino-Cambodian relations EXCEPT that _. A. Sihanouk was committed to Cambodian national developmentB. the

46、 the bilateral relationship.B. It will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.C. It means a huge loss for both countries in economy.D. It has very little negative effect on the bilateral relationship.63. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. China-Cambodia F

47、riendship Year B. China-Cambodia friendship to continueC. Sihanouks deatha great loss to Cambodia D. Chinas peaceful foreign policy to continueCWhere on Earth are you? Navigators (导航员) use lines of latitude and lines of longitude to locate places. Lines of latitude run east and west around Earth. On

48、 a map or globe, these lines appear as running sideways or horizontally. Lines of longitude run north and south around Earth. These lines go up and down or vertically on a map or globe. These lines create an imaginary graph paper on the Earth. They make it possible to find an absolute, or exact, loc

49、ation on Earth. They even allow us to give an absolute location to a place out in the middle of the ocean.Lines of latitude tell us how far north or south of the Equator we are. Sailors have used primitive navigation tools, like astrolabes, since ancient times. The astrolabe uses the sun and stars t

50、o find an approximate location. Using such tools, they have been able to approximate their distance from the equator. Although their instruments may not have been the high quality we have now, they were incredibly accurate (精确) for their time.Lines of longitude tell us how far east or west of the pr

51、ime meridian (本初子午线) we are. Sailors constantly looked for new ways to increase their navigation skills. Still, it wasnt until the 18th century that they were able to measure degrees of longitude. They would have been very envious of the technology available to us today.When we use lines of latitude

52、 and longitude together, we can get a very precise location. If we want to identify the absolute location of a point, we look where the latitude and longitude lines cross nearest to that point. We use the coordinates (坐标) for that point as its address. Many maps today include degrees of latitude and

53、 longitude.64. _ make it possible for people to find an exact place on Earth. A. Latitudes B. Longitudes C. Navigators D. Sailors65. The second paragraph mainly talks about _.

The best title for this passage is _. A. The map and the globe B. Latitude and longitudeC. The equator and the

55、 prime meridian D. Absolute coordinatesDIt is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of

56、 the surrounding families that he is considered the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters.“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day. “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?” Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.“But it is, ” returned she, “for Mrs. Long has ju

57、st been here, and she told me all about it.”Mr. Bennet made no answer.“Do you not want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently.“You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.”This was invitation enough.“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken

58、by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the

59、end of next week.”“What is his name?”“Bingley.”“Is he married or single?” “Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!”How so? How can it affect them?“My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome

60、! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.”“Is that his design in settling here?”“Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”“I see no occasion for that. You and th

61、e girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as beautiful as any of them. Mr. Bingley may like you the best of the party. ”68.

65、ily and community, then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more

66、self-absorbed and self-concerned.Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees

67、 do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating（拥护）any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to behave in a different way due to outside influences.Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them?

68、 There is no fixed answer, either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a friendly relationship.In conclusion,

69、 modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a friendly relationship with others.Are modern people becoming more selfish?Main comparisonsConte

70、xts(71)_ are changing.In the past people put caring, sharing and generosity in the first (72)_.Nowadays, people seem to be more (73)_ about themselves.(74)_ are changing too.People in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacing(谦让的).People may strive to achieve their own (75)_ at the price of t

79、need improvements and where we should invest more time and energy.Failure is something unavoidable. Properly handled, though, it can teach us a lot. First of all, we should face it bravely instead of complaining about the unfairness of life. Whats more, we should analyze the reasons timely to avoid

80、making similar mistakes. Last but not least, we are supposed to make appropriate changes and more efforts.
