16.Brothers Ishmael and Isadore were complete opposites.People who knew them both could hardly believe they were from the same planet,let alone the same family.The boys were not unkind toward one another,but their personalities(个性)were so different that it was difficult for them to reach a decision they both liked.Their mother frequently played the judge in their disagreement.
Ishmael,the older brother,was athletic.He played baseball,football,and basketball.Isadore,the younger brother,hated sports.He was quieter and less active than his brother.He preferred spending his time on the computer,making short videos and writing short articles.Ishmael loved classic rock.He listened to bands like the Beatles.Isadore didn't care much for those bands.He preferred music from Central Africa.Luckily for their parents,both boys enjoyed listening to music through headphones.
One other thing the brothers did agree on was that they wanted a pet.Mom had resisted getting one,but after both brothers had begged,she finally agreed."We can get a pet,as long as you two take care of it,"she said.That means you do the feeding,you do the training,and if it needs to be walked,you do the walking."No problem,Mom,"Ishmael and Isadore said together."Good,we all agree,"Mom said."Now,what kind of pet are we going to get?"

8.The two brothers'mother often had to be the judge when theyC.
A.played basketball                  B.had writing contests
C.couldn't come to an agreement     D.couldn't reach a decision on headphones

C.The brothers will both be unkind to the pet.
D.The brothers can't agree on the pet's name.
11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?C
A.brothers and their pet                  B.brothers and their life
C.brothers of different personalities     D.brothers of different hobbies.

11.Mr.Black was the manager of a hotel in Atlanta.One weekend all of the hotels were full because of a large business meeting being held in the city.On Sunday night,three men came into Mr.Black's hotel and asked for rooms.Mr.Black told them that there were no more rooms available.The men didn't know what to do because they had no place to stay in.
Mr.Black wanted to help them.He remembered that there was an empty room at the far end of the first floor-Room 112.It was a very small room,and had rarely been used as a guest room before.So,he asked the three men if they would mind sharing that small room.They replied that they would be very satisfied so long as there was a room for them to stay in for the night.
Mr.Black then told them that the room would cost them 30dollars in total.On hearing this,each of the three men gave Mr.Black 10dollars before they left for their room.
However,Mr.Black soon began to think that 30dollars was really too much for that small room.He called his assistant over and said,"Here is 5dollars.Give it back to the three men in Room 112.Each of them paid me 10dollars.That's too much."
The assistant took the money.While he was on the way to that small room,he thought,"How can three men divide 5dollars?I'll give each of them only 1 and keep the 2 left to myself.The men will be happy to get anything back,and I can also make some money that way.After all,Mr.Black will never know anything about it."So,the assistant returned only 1 to each of the three men.
Each man had first paid 10dollars.After the assistant returned 1 to him,each man had actually paid only 9.There were three men.9×3=27.The assistant kept 27+2=29.Where is the missing dollar?

25.Why didn't Mr.Black offer Room 112 to the three men at first?B
A.The key had been lost.
B.It was too small for three men.
C.No one had stayed there before.
D.It was not bright enough.
26.How much did Mr.Black first ask each man for the room?C
A.30.
B.15.
C.10.D.9.
27.How were the manager and his assistant in behavior?A
A.The manager was honest but the assistant was not.
B.The manager worked hard,but the assistant was lazy.
C.The assistant was clever but the manager was not.
D.The manager did not know how to make money,but the assistant did.
28.Where is the missing dollar?D
A.The three men took it.
B.The manager hid it secretly.
C.The assistant kept it.
D.There is no missing dollar.

8.Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war?War is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years.It was always evil and usually foolish,but in the past the human race managed to live with it.Modern skill has changed this.Either man will stop war or war will stop man.For the present,it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger,but bacteriological(细菌)or chemical weapons may,before long,offer an even greater threat.If we succeeded in stopping war,there would be no danger for us.To do this,we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way,not as contests Of force,in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre(大屠杀),but by arbitration(仲裁)in accordance with agreed principles of law.It is not easy to change age-old mental habits,but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology(意识形态)would prevent,war.I believe this to be a complete error.All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are,at best,doubtful,and at worst,totally false.Those people who believe in them are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past two years has been very largely such as we can welcome.It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided.Of course,very difficult problems remain in the international world,but the spirit in which they are being dealt with is a better one than it was some years ago.It has begun to be thought,even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die,that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory.It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West,but between Man and the H-bomb.
51.From the first paragraph we.can know thatA.
A.we may face greater threat from weapons
B.bacteriological or chemical weapons are less dangerous than nuclear weapons
C.man's idea of victory has changed
D.dangerous weapons are forbidden in modem society
52.According to the author,C.
A.it is impossible to live without war
B.the difference between East and West will lead to war
C.war must be stopped if man wants to survive
D.war will be stopped by modern skill
53.The author believes that the only way to stop war is toB.
A.stop nuclear weapons
B.settle international problems through agreements
C.destroy bacteriological-and chemical weapons
D.let the stronger side take over the world
54.The last paragraph suggests thatD.
A.nuclear war will surely not take place
B.real agreements have now been reached
C.world opinion is still divided on nuclear war
D.man is beginning to realize that nuclear war is his greatest enemy
55.Which of the following can best describe the author's feeling?B
A.Disappointed.B.Hopeful.C.Doubtful.D.Worried.
