22、as been seriously threatened by foreign invasion only in the thirteenth century. The Japanese ,therefore, have been close enough to the mainland to benefit from the great Chinese civilization, but distant enough to be able to choose and refuse as they wished.

China helped Japan a lot and let her choose what she liked and give up what she dislikedBCOUPONSSupermarkets and large drugstore
27、s often run ads in newspapers.Many supermarkets also have product coupons printed in the newspaper. A coupon is a promise to take money off the price of a certain product. Coupons are often printed on small pieces of paper.Coupons have product names on them. If you buy the product, you give the cash
28、ier your coupon along with everything you buy. The cashier will subtract the amount printed on the coupon from the full price of the product.Coupons are small and have lots of information printed on them.

The fifth volume of an enormous work reassessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was publi
32、shed twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some
33、 reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. Chinas invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced br
34、idge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social a
35、nd economic history of China, where a static(稳定的) society under a relatively kind regime(政权) of scholar-gentry(贵族) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic(有活力的) society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to
36、 catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year.

38、ion of“create, ordinary people are creative every day”.To create means“to bring into being,to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness(意识) of our surroundings. It means using all of ou
39、r senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地),as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe
40、the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重组) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to c
41、reate an unusual photograph.A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of ge
42、niuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.57.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?A.To prepare for a meal.B.To arrange the furniture in a special way.C.To buy some books from a bookstore.D.To“write”a letter with the computer.5

44、new thought and its being put into practice?A.Its more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.B.To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.C.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.D.One may come up with a new thou

67、which was part of the Chu State during the Warring States Period，over 2 200 years ago.In his life time，because of his wisdom，other officials hated him very much and caused the emperor to believe that he was not devoted.So he received the displeasure of the emperor and was driven off from the kingdom
68、.From then on Qu Yuan lived the life of a hermit（隐士）and became an excellent poet.He was one of the authors of “Chu Ci”（Poems of Chu State）.His poem“Li Sao”written about his own life and other important ones are all filled with his deep love for his country.At last，however，he was so discouraged that
69、he had to end his life by throwing himself into the Miluo River.It is said that the people rushed out in their boats to try to save him when they heard the terrible news，but it was too late.Also，they were so sad that they threw rice in the water to feed Qu Yuans spirit，so now we can see the dragon-boat races and have a kind of Chinese food named “zong-zi”for us to entertain friends，especially children，during the Dragon-Boat Festival.
