These are questions that, understandably, are very often askedPerhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup（基因构成）as hum
19、an beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possibleNearly ev

28、led Confucius (551-479 B.C), and Socrates (469-399 B.C) lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas,
29、in turn,shaped their societies.Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radic
30、al (激进的)than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his stu
31、dents went on to government service.Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:“Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that se
32、t men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that some hadmore potential to develop their reason than others did.Like Confucius,He believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.For Socrates, the f
33、amily was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.28. Which of the f
34、ollowing is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. Socrates and Confucius had much in commonB. Confucius had much influence on Socrates ideas.C. The societies ware influenced by the philosophers ideas.D. There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.29. Socrates shared with Confucius the
35、idea that _ .A. all men were equal when they were bornB. the lower classes should be ruled by the upper classC. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom来源：高考资源网D. people should not ask others to do what they did not want to30. What made some people different from others according to Confuci
36、us?A. Family. B. Potential. C. Knowledge. D. Community.31. This passage is organized in the pattern of _A. time and eventsB. comparison and contrastC. cause and effectD. definition and classificationDWhen international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for w
37、hom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here, however, rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this
38、is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster; it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal t
39、imes. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This co
40、uld be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a sc
41、hool, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to thei
42、r homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to in
43、clude deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, i
44、n the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.32.According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?A. By solving the cost problemsB.By solving the transportation problemsC. By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.D. By relying
45、on the direct distribution of the UNO.33.What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence? A. Providing food is vitalB. Learning to fish is helpfulC. Teaching skills is essentialD. Looking after others is important.34.Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?A. A medical team.B
46、. An exchange program.C. A water plant.D. Financial support.35.What can we infer about international aid from the passage?A. It is facing difficulties.B. It is unnecessary during normal timesC. It should be given in the form of materialsD. It has gained support from developed countries第二节判断正误题。阅读下列表
