A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrib
25、le anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didnt stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati： the elephant princess. Parbati Baruas father was a hunter of tig
26、ers and an elephant tamer驯养人. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up - how to catch wild elephants. Parbati hasnt always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boar
27、ding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase, she says. But Parbati doesnt catch elephants just for fun. My wor
28、k, she says, is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man. And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small
29、 pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called toguide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill. The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love s
30、ongs to a newly captured elephant. Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans, she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!56. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to
31、. A. get long lasting excitement B. keep both man and elephants safe C. send them back to the jungle D. make the angry elephants tame57. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, . A. she spent her time hunting with her father B. she learned how to sing love songs C. she had already been called a
32、n elephant princess D. she was taught how to hunt tigers58. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because _.

33、 and chase them59. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _. A. people easily fall victim to elephants attacks B. the man-elephant relationship is getting worse C. elephant tamers are in short supply D. dogs are as powerful as elephantsBNobel, who was born in Sto
34、ckholm, is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.Nobel studied in USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859. After return, he started researching into bombs. As is known, bomb is dangerous to life, but Nobel was working under that condition. Once a big explosion in his lab completel
35、y destroyed the lab and caused some deaths. After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake. He received criticism and satire (讽刺), but he proceeded with the work rather than lose heart. From 1860s to 1880s, Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and di
36、gging tunnels. Most of the bombs are safer and more possible to be controlled. Even at the end of 20th century, we still use his methods.Nobel had many patents (专利) in Britain and other European countries. He was quick to see industrial openings (机会) for his scientific inventions and built up over 8
37、0 companies in 20 different countries. Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward-looking industrialist.But Nobels main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. Seldom happy, he
38、was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth, he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause. To follow his will, a fund was
39、 set up to encourage people to make progress in physics, chemistry, physiology (生理学), medicine, literature and peace. Thats the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist.60Through his early experimental work, it is evident that _.A. Nobel was a man of strong willB. Nobel was a man of giftC.
40、 Nobel seldom got on well with his workD. Nobel had his heart in his work61In fact his inventions were first used in _.A. a war to kill and injure his fellow menB. building roadsC. digging tunnelsD. both B and C62Nobel also had much financial sense because _.A. he had a very strong desire for moneyB
41、. he cared about nothing but making profitsC. he managed money matter well, making the best use of chances for making profitsD. he invented bombs in order to make money63Based on the passage, Nobel, as a scientist, _.A. took a sole interest in scienceB. took a serious interest in moneyC. took no int
42、erest in literatureD. took a serious interest in literature as well as in science64Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. His wonderful will surely provide other scientists with a large sum of money.B. In leaving behind a well-meant will, Nobel succeeded in setting up
43、a permanent monument for his interests and ideals.C. Nobel made a glorious will so that he might remembered and respected after his death.D. Nobel expressed his wish in his will that a monument should be put up in memory of him. CWhen a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and put
44、s out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next
45、meal is going to come from, so it seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the worlds great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one
46、 knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer practiced by all the people. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.Firstly, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good l
47、iving from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs.Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is not the reason for losing one
48、s sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than by ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help. It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are v
49、arious cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.65. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Moral deeds of most people.B. Religious activities in the socie
50、ty.C. Moral goodness of the giver.D. Arguments on giving to beggars.66. What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the second paragraph?A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.B. There some people not willing to do what was morally right before.C. We d
51、ont meet with those who need others help any more.D. Now it is the government that has the duty to help the beggars.67. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars want money for their schooling.C. Some beggars use the money
52、 to buy drugs.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.68. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks it hard to reach any final conclusion, because . A. the cases can be so differentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different argumentsD“Image is everyt
53、hing.” An entire industry has been built upon the assumption(设想) that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough. If there is no substance(事实) behind the image, the product, service or person will fail eventually.First of all, one should consider how importan
54、t image is in the selling of products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies. But if the product or service does not li
55、ve up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm（会计事务所） had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness（可信赖）. But the recent scandal (丑闻) showed that behind that image, it che
56、ated in business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm.Sim
57、ilarly, personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars. Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the gene
58、ral commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without posit
59、ive substance behind the image, failure is close.To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a person. But image is only half of the equation（等式 方程式）. What lies behind that i
60、mage is every bit as important as the image itself the person or product must deliver on（履行） that image or there is little chance for long-term success.69. The downfall of the Arthour Andersen accounting firm is due to _.A. its dishonesty in business B. its previous images C. its bad management D. i
61、ts poor service70. Why did some famous people fall from grace?A. Their images were not well built up B. They failed to live up to their images.C. They felt much pressure from the public D. They paid little attention to fame and fortune. 71. The structure of the passage is _.A: ArgumentP: PointC: Con
62、clusion72. The author tries to argue that _.A. image creates everything B. image is the key to successC. truth is unlikely ever to be equaled D. truth and image are equally importantEHow words came into being is unknown. All we assume（推测）is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or
63、another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are cal
64、led words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the mor
65、e the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style（文体）. Above all, the real poet is
66、a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears, we should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.73. We learn from the text tha
67、t language might have begun with A. expressions B. actions C. signs D. sounds74. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2? A. The learning of new words. B. The importance of old words C. The relation of human experience with words. D. The gradual change and development of words.75. In the last paragr
68、aph, what does the author suggest that we should do? A. Use words skillfully. B. Make musical speeches C. Learn poems by heart. D. Associate with listeners.第二卷 非选择题一任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸相应题号的横线上。We are now living in a time that science
