21、s, and objects. Most magic involves a person called a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers. Magic words. To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. These words are called incantations or spells. Some spells form prayers to demons(魔鬼), spirits, or o
22、ther supernatural forces. Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician.Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of thes
23、e movements act out the desired effect of the magic. For example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle(洒) water on the ground. The magicians combined words and actions form a ceremony.Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. Any su
24、ch object may be called a fetish(物神). But this term often refers to an objectfor example, a carving or a dried snakehonored by a tribe for its magic powers. Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects.Many people carry magic objects called amulets(护身符)to prote
25、ct themselves from harm. Many amulets are stones or rings engraved(雕刻) with magic symbols.The magician. In some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. In other societies, only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcerers, or witch
26、 doctors. In many societies, magicians must inherit their powers. In others, any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts.Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells to work. For example, they may be required not to eat
27、 various foods or to avoid sexual activity for a certain period before the ceremony.41What do magic words mean to people in some society? AThey have the power to kill devils.BThey have power if magician recites the right spells.CThey have no effect at all. DThey can be used whenever they want. ks5u4
28、2People believe magic actions will have an effect if they are accompanied by_.Athe spells Bmagic objectsCstones or rings engraved with magic symbols Dmedicine 43Why do many people believe in a fetish? ABecause it is often a ring which is worth a lot of money. BBecause it is carved with magic symbols
29、. CBecause people think spirits live in it. DBecause it can help them with many things. 44Whats the best title of the passage? AHow Magic Works BThe Power of Magic CHow to Practice Magic DThe Choice of Magicians BThere are two kinds of people in the world. Those of the first kind are born idlers (游手
30、好闲者), taking interest in nothing. It seems what they live for is to pass time idly. They simply dont know why they have to do so, nor will they bother to ask. The other kind are those who take things seriously and never wish to idle away their life. But only a part of the second group are eager enou
31、gh to make success. All the others fail to make enough effort to make their dreams come true. Why do things so happen to them? What are the reasons? I later find out that some people are determined. They are “igniters” that catch fire of their own, giving light and heart. But thats not the case with
32、 others. They may be fuels but not igniters. As pieces of wood or coal, they need a match or a lighter to make them burn so that their energy can be released to give off light and heat. The majority of people need some igniter to light them. Thus igniter becomes a must for those people to succeed. U
33、nless a suitable igniter comes their way, they will always remain idle like cold unused firewood or coal. Fortunately, such an igniter is not difficult to meet. One may find it in an instructive book, a film story, a few words of a close friend, some advice of a good teacher, a pleasant journey, or
34、an unexpected love. Any of these, coming at the right time, can serve as an igniter to start ones enthusiasm for learning or for a better career, to turn him from a passive state of waiting to an active state of pursuing, to lend him strength to go ahead bravely. In that case, what he has prepared f
35、or years will be quickly turned into fruitful reality. Such an igniter may turn up of itself, but most likely we have to find it ourselves. Never let a chance slide away, for it is the key to your success.45. According to the text, “_” take things seriously, but may not be able to succeed.A. idlers
36、B. ignitersC. fuelsD. lighters46. According to the writer, what do most people definitely need to succeed? A. Storing a lot of energy. B. Great interest in everything.C. An igniter coming at the right time.D. Wonderful dreams about a bright future.47. The writer writes the article to _.A. describe t
37、wo kinds of peopleB. encourage people to find chances to succeedC. praise those who work hardD. make fun of idlers C For high school leavers starting out in the working world,it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习)I

39、y to stay in school,graduate and go on to higher education In Germany,students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internshipsGerman companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment But in America, education reform programs focus on ho

42、n career-based coursesThe school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while theyre still at high school However,even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work,the job market is daunting(使人气馁的).

47、ack of career-based courses in US high schoolsD. Advice for American high school leaversDAbout this time every year, I get very nostalgic (怀旧的). Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children playing games on
48、 a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. I was one of those children, carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a smal
49、l hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. When I think of home, I think of my street. Only I see it as it was before. Unfortunately things change. One day, not long ago, I looked around and saw how different everything has become. Life on my street will never be the same because ne
50、ighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors. It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and wont be around much longer. I have fond memories of the co
51、uple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow(寡妇)next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to those people, the people I see today are very old neighbors who ha
52、ve seen better days. The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. It is difficul
53、t to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at one time I thought they would live forever. The “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings” as friends and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolv
54、ed around home. The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once play
55、ed with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days. Perhaps the biggest change on my
56、street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for new homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street
57、. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is a piece of my childhood. It is a visual reminder of b
58、eing a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod.There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change. But something happened. People grow up, and people grow old. Places changes, and with the change comes the heartache of knowing I can n
59、ever go back to the times I loved. In a year or so, I will be gone just like many of my neighbors. I will always look back to my years as a child, but the place I remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction. It will be the happy, noisy, somewhat st
