They lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family fo
10、r 150 years. They raised chickens for eggs, pigs and cattle for meat. Cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which Grandma made butter and cheese. What little yard they had became a garden.The Depression, therefore, didnt make much change in their lives. But it did bring an unending flow of men
11、 out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags. He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadnt eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “Theres a stack of firewood against the fence behind the b
12、arn (谷仓). Ive been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence . You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch .”Grandma said a surprising thing happened. The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. She set another place at the table and made an ap
13、ple pie. During lunch, the stranger didnt say much, but when he left, his shoulders had straightened. “Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,” Grandpa later told me .Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. Grand
14、pa came out when he heard voices. He looked at the man and then offered a handshake.” There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn Ive been meaning to get it moved. Itd sure be a help to me . And wed be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” The fellow set his suitcase aside and n
15、eatly laid his coat on top. Then he set off to work.Grandma says she doesnt remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression days-or how many times that stack of wood got moved.21When he was asked to move a stack of firewood, the first man who asked for a meal got a shine
16、in his eyes for he was glad that . Ahe had found a good job Bhe would have something to eat Che would no longer suffer from the DepressionDhe would get what he wanted without losing his self-respect 22The writers grandfather asked those jobless men to move the stack of firewood because .Ahe didnt wa
17、nt them to have a meal free of charge Bhe had been needing to get it moved Che wanted to help them in his own way Dhe wanted to show them his kindness and respect 23The writers grandfather was all of the following but .Akind Bthoughtful Cwealthy Dsympathetic 24The best title for the story would be .
18、 AThe DepressionBThe Pleasure of Helping Others CNo Pains , No Gains DWork-A Part of Living BEveryone knows that the French are romantic, the Italian are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Or do they? Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if ther
19、e is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the UK found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public .Britain is hostile to success, they said. It ha
20、s a culture of jealousy (嫉妒) . As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood”. Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green-eyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people
21、 together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little money were given the chance to destroy the large amounts of money given to othersbut at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.This seems
22、 to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently reported that the UK was now the worlds fourth largest economy .That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in
23、 the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“Its not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a Professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “Its people using their success i
24、n a way that seems arrogant (傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots .”Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody
25、 loves them. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.25What does the underlined “it” in the second paragraph refer to?AOne group of people BA great survey CNational character DA nation 26Most entrepr
26、eneurs surveyed believe that Athey are not popular simply because they are successful Bthe British public are hardworking Clove of success is Britains national character Dthey are considered as “green-eyed monsters”27What does the result of the Warwich University test show?ATwo thirds of the people
27、tested didnt love money BMost people would rather fail than see others succeed CAn imaginary amount of money does not attract people DMost people are willing to enjoy success with others 28The writer of the passage seems to suggest that . Ajealousy is Britains national character BBritish entrepreneu
28、rs are not fairly treated Cthe scientists are Warwich University did a successful test Dthe British dislike the entrepreneurs because they do not behave properlyCA Batterys Worst Nightmare (噩梦)Portable electronics that can be carried about easily are only as good as their batteries and , lets face i
29、t , batteries arent very good , especially when compared with , say , petrol , which packs 100 times a batterys energy into an equal space . Thats why a large group of mechanical engineers (centered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with partners at other universities and companies)
30、are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs on fuel. Imagine a battery-free life! When the fuel runs out in your laptop or mobile phone, you just fill up and go.The engineabout the size of a ten-cent coin-starts with a combustion chamber (燃烧室) that burns hydrogen
31、(氢). Its tiny parts are etched onto silicon wafers (硅片) in the same manner that computer parts are imprinted onto integrated circuits (集成电路). The first engine is made up of five wafers. And since these wafers could be produced in much the same way as computer chips, they could probably be produced q
32、uite cheaply.But the devil in all this nice detail is efficiency (效率). Tiny engine parts dont always behave like their scaled-up parts of the first engine. Something between the parts can slow down the works, according to Columbia University professor Luc Frechette, one of the engines designers. Ext
33、reme heat from the combustion chamber is also a problem, often leaking to other parts of the engine.The scientists goal is to create an engine that will operate at 10 percent efficiencythat is, 10 times better than batteries operate. Frechette says that a complete system , with all parts of place an
34、d working , will be set up in the next couple of years , but commercial models arent likely until at least the end of the next ten years .29According to the passage, the title suggests that Abatteries should be greatly improved Bpetrol will be used instead of batteries Cthe time of batteries will be
35、 gone forever Dpollution caused by batteries must be solved 30Whats the meaning of the underlined word “devil” in paragraph 3?Aproblem Badvantage CinventionDtechnique 31What can we infer from the passage?AThe new invention doesnt need any fuel.BThe new engine has been produced in quantity.CThe new i
36、nvention is much cheaper than the battery.DThe new engine needs to be improved before its on sale 32What is the main purpose of this passage?ATo introduce a new invention to readers.
