After examining a nice black one that cost $5000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left. A few days later the man returned and s
29、aid that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted a pair of earrings made, “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, “I would say its exactly
30、impossible to find one exactly like that pearl.” The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady
31、 came into his store. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. “I dont like to part with it,” she said sadly, “I inherited it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers.

36、want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams(拥挤).Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk. At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on
37、foot in London Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them. The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are
38、closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35 000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty. During the day ,most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, b
39、ut at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time.

Tokyo people are friendlyCA pill，code-named HT-0712，may make forgetfulness a thing of the past. It is being developed in the US and could go
44、on sale within five years. According to the newspaper The Sun，the wonder drug has been nicknamed “Mind Viagra”and has already been shown to boost the memory power of mice and flies. Next it will be tested on humans. This is just one of a number of drugs in a pharmaceutical (制药的) race to develop an i
45、ncreased memory pill. At least 12 US companies are believed to be working on similar projects.Tim Tully，the founder of US drug company Helicon Therapeutics，who is in charge of the HT-0712 project，gave this practical example of its use for students：“If it takes two weeks to memorize a verse of Shakes
46、peare，with one of these drugs you might be able to do it in two or three days. ”“The memory drug business appears to be set to become a multi-million dollar industry，”experts say. This summer，100 Americans suffering mild memory loss will test HT-0712 in the first experiment on people. “You dont thin
47、k better than you did before，you just get the facts in with less practice. There is a growing belief that memory and memory loss is just another treatable condition，”says Tully. However，there is some doubt whether the drugs can really improve memory. In a study by the USs Yale University Medical Sch
48、ool，researchers suggested that the drug might affect other parts of the memory. 66. Which of the following can be most likely to replace the underlined word “boost” in the second paragraph?A. Reduce.B. Increase.C. Kill.D. Harm. 67. What will happen to the students most probably if they take HT-0712?

51、ing about HT-0712D. doubt whether it is worth developing HT-0712DFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he joked . “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clotheskha
52、ki pants and a sports shirtto the office. He hardly even wears a necktie. “Im working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual offic
53、e wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday” . “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday th
54、ing.” Said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code . “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner
55、of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company ,85% of employers said that they believe that casual d
56、ress improves employee morale. Only 4% of employers said that casual dress code has a negative impact on productivity .Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money . “Suits are expensive ,if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same
57、 amount of money ,you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”71David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because .Ahe couldnt stand a clean appearanceBhe often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtChe wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeDhe didnt want to spend much money on c

61、e only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way- was it through practice, or are great players “born, not made”? First, these players come from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate. In the history of
62、 soccer, only eight countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and five from Western Europe. There has never been a great national team -or a really great player-from North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano
63、was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players began playing the game at the age of three or four.Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighourhood-a poor, crowded area where a boys dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete
64、 or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beetle, has one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “ball” made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.All g
65、reat players have a lot in common, but that doesnt explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.76What is the main idea of the passage? (Please
66、 answer within 10 words) 77Completing the following statement with the appropriate words.(No more than 10 words) that makes them stand out from all the other soccer players.78Please fill in the blank in the first paragraph with proper words or sentence to complete the sentence. (Please answer within
67、 12 words.) 79According to this article, what do great footballers have in common?(No more than 37 words) 80What does “that” which is found underlined in the last paragraph mean? 第二节：写作（满分25分）最近你班将举行一场题为 Life in the future 的讨论会， 请根据以下要点， 写一篇一百词左右的发言稿。1 随着医学的发展，人类的平均寿命将会达到120岁。2 由于新能源的出现， 污染问题将得到控制。3 人们的日常生活也将有很大的变化。 如机器人可以为你做家务；椅子的颜色也能够随着你所穿的衣服而改变；手机可以带在手腕上， 通话时可以看到对方；可以乘坐新型的电梯进入太空度假。注意：1词数：120左右；2可适当增加细节，使行文连贯；版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
