The best title of this passage probably is A. Love your friends B. Live a real life C. Don't waste time D. Be a good mother and wife C Our boat floated on, between walls of forest too thick to allow us to see the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through hills. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed. Banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore . In any case, what would we have done by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures, and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization. We lived on fish, caught with a homemade net, and fruits and nuts we could pick up out of the water. As we had no fire, we had to eat everything, including the fish, raw. I had never tasted raw fish before, and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience. One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time: we might not be so lucky to get away in a stolen boat again. 查看更多

Everyone knows we must exercise regularly to maintain good health.Indeed, staying physically fit is a big part of our culture.We consider (and rightly so) that healthy people are attractive people.Since most of us want to be attractive, there is no shortage of exercise clubs, training videos, magazines, and books offering to help us stay physically fit.

Unfortunately, however, our culture does not place the same emphasis on mental fitness.Although we admire and love men and women with strong and healthy-looking bodies, we don’t have the same degree of respect or attraction for smart, educated and mentally healthy people.This is a shame, because there are immense rewards for people who have developed the ability to think well.

If your mind is well trained and flexible, you will be able to understand a great deal of what happens around you.And if you are also well educated--- that is, if you understand basic science, mathematics, music, art, literature, history and so on--- you will find it much easier to make good decisions throughout your life.Over the long run, this leads to a sense of control over your destiny and a much better life than otherwise.

People who are poorly educated or who don’t think well--- that is, people who are not mentally fit see things differently.Their world is controlled by mysterious, but often malevolent (恶意的) forces.Such people live within a system they will never master, forced to follow the rules they will never understand.Although it may not be obvious, most people spend their lives being manipulated (控制) by others.They are told what to do, what to think, how to spend their money, and what they should and should not aspire (渴求) to in life.

In my opinion, if you want to live well, you must be able to use your mind well.For this reason, I want you to be able to concentrate, solve problem, understand complex ideas, and think clearly and quickly.Such skills will make it easier for you to make informed decisions, understand current events, choose good friends, manage your money well, make wise long-term decisions, and appreciate music, art and literature.

The key to developing such skills is to enjoy learning, and to have the ability and motivation to teach yourself.

67.The writer of the passage feels disappointed that______________.

     A.some people have not the skill to make good decisions

     B.the world of the physically healthy people is controlled by mysterious forces

     C.mentally healthy people are not as popular as physically people

     D.too much has been done to help people stay physically fit

68.The underline word “this” refers to___________.

     A.the understanding of a great deal of what goes on around you

     B.the understanding of basic science and mathematics

     C.good training in body and mind

     D.being able to make good decisions in life

69.The writer of the passage thinks that those who are not mentally fit___________.

     A.live a poor and mysterious life              B.can’t control over their life

     C.often do what others do           D.enjoy being fooled and ruled

70.The best title of the passage will most probably be______________.

     A.Mind Helps You More                    B.Train Your Mind

     C.Make Informed Decisions                 D.Learn More to Help Yourself

阅读理解

  It is men’s nature to live together in families and tribes(部落), and cities and nations, and therefore men have learned to prize those qualities in each other which make social life the happiest and best.

  Of these qualities one of the most important is sympathy-fellow-feeling.If a man had no fellow-feeling, we should call him “inhuman”; he would be no true man.We think so much of this quality that we call a kind man “human”-that is, man-like in his conduct, first to other men, and afterwards to all living things.

  If you are cruel to animals, you are not likely to be kind or thoughtfull to men; and if you are thoughtful towards men, you are not likely to be cruel and thoughtful towards animals.This is why the wise man of old wrote, “The merciful man is merciful to his beast.”

  What a pleasure it is also to be loved by our pets or domestic animals; and to feel that we are caring for them and are deserving of their love; or to watch the ways of wild creatures, and gradually to make friends with them!

  Treating animals kindly does not mean that we must never inflict any pain on them.We ourselves are trained by pains as well as by pleasures; so too, punishment is sometimes needed to train our dogs and horses to obey us.We endure pains at the hands of the surgeon, to cure some wound or to heal some disease; so too, animals must submit to being doctored.

  We send out our bravest men to face wounds, sickness and death, for the good of the nation; so too, we let our horses share the risk of battle.For similar reasons, we cannot hesitate to destroy dangerous creatures like wolves and show senseless ferocity(残忍).It is no excuse to say that these animals deserve to be treated cruelly on account of their own cruelty.They are not really cruel, for they tear and kill not from love of unkindness, but because they must do so in order to live.

(1)

One of the most important qualities of men is fellow-feeling because _______.

[  ]

A.

you are likely to be cruel and thoughtful without it

B.

a man would be inhuman without it

C.

men can’t bear any pain on themselves and animals

D.

only sympathy makes a man man-like in his conduct

(2)

The author would probably agree with the following EXCEPT that ________

[  ]

A.

we must never force any pain on animals

B.

some people have to kill some animals in order to live

C.

it is human for a doctor to cut off some part from the animals

D.

wise men are not only good to men but also to animals

(3)

What do you think is the title of the passage?

[  ]

A.

Loving your pet.

B.

Fellow-feeling.

C.

Making friends with animals.

D.

Kindness to animals.

(4)

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his now place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult(成年人)I feared(害怕) him and felt bitter about him He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boy friends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling worried.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad in his new home in Arizona is back to me from where he was.

   A. the author’s son B. the author’s father C. the friend of the author’s father D. the cafe owner

D

A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.

Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.

“We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.

Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too. Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.

We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.

67. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?

A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.

B. Because her parents used to quarrel.

C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.

D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.

68. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.

B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.

C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.

D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.

69. The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means ________.

A. surprise                 B. faint        C. tiredness        D. sadness                   

70. The best title for this passage is ________.

A. Family relations.                 B. The reasons why we get sick.

C. Family---- another cause to health    D. A research about health.
