16、ver very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my b
17、ooks on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled
18、 with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she sh

All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her
20、 tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes.

Naurus heartbreaking story could have one good consequence-other countries might learn from its mistakes.For tho
24、usands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had li
25、ttle communication with Europeans at first. Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from l, 400 to 900.Naurus real
26、 troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; i
27、t is a strip mine(露天矿). When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip-mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.
28、 Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem-their
29、phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was almost financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.28. What might be the aut
30、hors purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for Naurus problems.B. To give a warning to other countries.C. To show the importance of money.D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.29. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. Rich and powerful. B. Modern and open.C. Peaceful and attract
31、ive. D. Greedy and aggressive.30. Which of the following was a cause of Naurus financial problem?A. Its leaders misused the money.B. It spent too much repairing the island.C. Its phosphate mining cost much money.D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.31. What can we learn about Nauru from t
32、he last paragraph?A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B. The leaders will take the expertswords seriously.C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D. The phosphate mines were destroyed.DNo one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests th
33、ey used a little rock n roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what theyre proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rock
34、s. And theres no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth pa
35、ths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and
36、 dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, “I was inspire
37、d while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, Why dont they just try rolling the things? ”A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of
38、stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. T
39、he researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的) path.West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At le
40、ast, workers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.32. Its widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by . A. rolling them on roadsB. pushing them over the sand C. sliding them on smooth pathsD. dragging them on some poles33. What does the und
41、erlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to? A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached.B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels. C. Rolling poles to move the blocks.D. Rolling the blocks with fat.34. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West? A. Because more force is needed for sliding. B. Be
42、cause rolling work can be done by fewer cattle. C. Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous. D. Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.35. What is the text mainly about? A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site. B. An application of the method of moving
43、 blocks to the pyramid site. C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site. D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Do Man-on-the-Street InterviewsThe man-on-the-
