【題目】

Hobbs was an orphan (孤兒). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.

One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn't know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do—painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it's too much for one and too little for the other.”

“Here is the reading of your uncle's will (遺囑)，” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.” “Yes, I see. I'll do that，” said the young man.

The ancient city of Xi'an in China holds many treasures. And last month, archaeologists working there made an important discovery—a buried palace built in the third century B.C. to honor China's first emperor.

The entire palace measures roughly 2,260 feet long by 820 feet wide. It includes 10 courtyard houses and one main building. Archaeologists found bricks and pieces of pottery at the site of the palace, as well as the remains of walls and roads.

The palace is part of the massive burial complex of Emperor Qin Shihuangdi. He conquered seven warring kingdoms and united ancient China in 211 B.C.

Qin Shihuangdi wanted his legacy, or accomplishments, to be remembered forever. So he hired more than 700,000 workers to build his funeral complex in Xi'an. It represents a miniature version of his vast kingdom.

The complex also includes the world-famous terra-cotta army, a collection of more than 8,000 life-size clay statues. These sculptures represent soldiers, acrobats, and horses from the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C.-206 B.C.). Scientists have not yet found all these terra-cotta warriors, even though they discovered more of the statues last summer.

Farmers discovered the complex by accident in 1974. Since then, scientists studying the site have learned a great deal about life in ancient China. But much of the emperor's tomb has yet to be dug up, or unearthed. Many of the artifacts (objects from the past) are so old that scientists cannot preserve them.

"Archaeologists fully acknowledge that nobody in the world has the technology (to safely dig up Xi'an's treasures) yet," explains Kristin Romey, an expert on Chinese archaeology.

But as technology improves, archaeologists will keep digging to uncover the rest of the wonders that still lie buried in Xi'an.

"It's one of the most important archaeological discoveries that's waiting to be made," says Romey, "and we know where it is."

【1】How long is the history of the newly found palace?

A. About 820 years.

B. About 2,000 years.

C. About 2,200 years.

D. About 2,400 years.

【2】Why did Qin Shihuang have people build his tomb?

A. To keep all of his treasures in store.

B. To expect people to remember him forever.

C. To prevent his body from disappearing soon.

D. To collect more than 8,000 life-size clay soldiers.

【3】What causes trouble to dig out the emperor's tomb?

A. The local government doesn't support it.

B. Archaeologists are in great need.

C. There isn't plenty of money.

D. Technology isn't advanced yet.

【4】What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. An Ancient Palace is Uncovered

B. More Terra-cotta Warriors Are Found

C. Archeologists Are Waiting to Dig a Tomb

D. Technology Helps Discover the New Wonder

During my second month of nursing school, our professors gave us a quiz. I had smoothly finished the others' questions when I got stuck on the last one: "What’s the first name of the woman who clean the school?" I had seen, many times, the woman, tall and in her fifty, but how could I know her name? I handed in my paper, leave the last question blankly. After a class ended, one student asked for the answer for the question. The professor said, "As you know, that in your careers you will meet many people. You should respect them and care about them, even you just smile and say ‘hello’ to them.

Stephen Hawking is perhaps the world's most famous living physicist. To the public, he's best known as an author of bestsellers such as The Universe in a Nutshell and A Brief History of Time, which have brought an appreciation of theoretical (理論上的) physics to millions. He is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet. But outstanding astrophysicist (天體物理學(xué)家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.
In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University, where he studied physics, and that only the news that he might die young from motor neurone (運(yùn)動(dòng)神經(jīng)元) disease made him focus on his work.
Professor Hawking said, “My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she was brighter than me.” He said that he was common at school and was never further than halfway up his class. “My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was very bad in the teachers' eyes,” he said. “But my classmates gave me the name Einstein, so probably they saw signs of something better.”
But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that he began to focus on his work, which resulted in some of his early achievements. He said, “When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.” Hawking serves as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, where he continues to contribute to both high-level physics and the popular understanding of our universe.
（1）When Stephen Hawking studied in Oxford University, he was ________ .
A.clever
B.lazy
C.bright
D.mean
（2）What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?
A.Patience.
B.Knowledge.
C.Disease.
D.Laziness.
（3）From whom did Hawking get a fair judgment when he was at school?
A.His sister.
B.His classmates.
C.His teachers.
D.His parents.
（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Hawking didn't realize his dreams in physics.
B.Hawking succeeded in overcoming the fear of an early death.
C.The purpose of the doctor was to encourage him to work hard.
D.The doctor warned Hawking that his life might be taken away by hard work.

Most people have heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of the plays that he wrote.

A different legend says that he was apprenticed to a Stratford butcher，but did not like the life and for this reason decided to leave Stratford.

【題目】A ban on smoking in public places has come into force in China—home to a third of the world’s smokers.

The move is aimed at controlling the number of deaths from smoking-related diseases*running at a million a year.

But the rules have been criticized, because they do not include punishments for those who choose to ignore them.

Many business owners hate rules that force them to ban smoking on their premises (經(jīng)營場所) because many customers do not like the rules and complain.

The rules do not allow smoking in places like restaurants, hotels, railway stations or theatres, but not at the office.

Employers have a duty to warn staff off the dangers of smoking but do not have to forbid them from lighting up at their desks.

Shanghai introduced similar rules a year ago, but people do not seem to take much notice of them. Often you find people smoking at the next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar. The problem is that the rules do not include punishments for businesses or individuals who ignore them.

It appears that many Chinese people are unaware of the dangers of smoking. Research suggests that only one in four knows the harm cigarettes of second-hand smoking can cause.

Officials say they have to try to persuade people not to smoke to reduce the numbers dying from smoking-related diseases.

At the same time the government makes a lot of money from the sales of cigarettes by the state- owned firm that makes and sells all tobacco products throughout the country.

【1】The number of smokers in China makes up about of the world’s smokers.

A. 66% B. 44%

C. 33% D. 55%

【2】We can replace the underlined part in the passage with .

A. are concerned about B. are curious about

C. don’t know D. don’t care

【3】1f the government wants to ban smoking in public places, .

A. only rely on educating people

B. take more effective measures

C. do punish those who ignore the rules

D. let people know more about the dangers of smoking
