I was sitt
19、ing at a fruit stand beside the Beihai Lake looking at the shinning ripple(波纹), which awoke me to a full sense of life.A mother and her daughter were sitting opposite to me. The latter, a lovely girl of seven or eight with a pretty, small nose, was occupied with an ice cream. Her mother, holding the
20、 childs sweater, was whispering to her.A sudden breeze blew and the child sneezed. Her mother rapidly put the sweater on her and began to button it up. In her hurry the buttons were wrongly matched, which was unnoticed by her until several had been done. The mother at once unbuttoned the sweater and
21、 did it again. Such an unimportant incident, however, did not escape the childs eye. “Ha-ha, mum, see how your mind has wandered!” said the girl with a loud laughter, which brought a bit angry look to the mothers face.As an onlooker, I imagined a good dressing down for the little girl because of the
22、 impolite remark she made. But instead there was only an embarrassing interval of a few seconds. Then I heard the mothers gentle voice: “Yes, it surely has, for my heart has gone out to you!” said the mother, pointing a kind finger at the girls little chest. The child blinked(眨眼) puzzlingly, hiding
23、her red face in the arms of her mother who hugged her gently. A smile of satisfaction spread over the mothers face.I was deeply moved by the scene of motherly love. What was the most praiseworthy thing about the mother was her way of treating the childs behavior. Nowadays many people seem to forget
24、that the best way to educate a child is not tolerating or blaming, or even moral lecturing, but tender enlightening with love.51. How did the mother treat her daughters loud laughter? A. She tolerated it.B. She enlightened her daughter with love. C. She gave her daughter a lesson.D. She ignored it.5
25、2. Which is the best understanding of the sentence underlined in the fourth paragraph? A. The daughter loved her mother very much.B. The daughter realized she misunderstood her mother and was ashamed. C. She was angry at her mothers carelessness. D. She felt cold and hid herself into her mothers arm
26、.53. Which of the following statements is true? A. The child was very naughty and impolite to her mother. B. Many people dont do well in educating children for being short of love. C. The writer and the mother are familiar with each other. D. The writer cant agree more with the mothers way of educat
27、ing her child.54. What does the writer intend to tell us by writing the passage? A. A mother should take care of her child well. B. A child should be polite to his or her mother. C. The best way to educate children is to enlighten them with love. D. A mother shouldnt pay much attention to her childs
28、 behavior.B What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from acc
29、idents, murder and war. Todays leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How l
30、ong can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not
31、 last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Some time between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs ( The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, wi
32、ll build new brain cells, heart cells, and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imaging that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up
33、 on the way to this wonderful future.55.According to the passage, human death IS now mainly caused by . A. diseases and aging B. accidents and war C. accidents and aging D. heart disease and war56. In the author s opinion, todays most important advance in technology lies in . A. medicine B. the Inte
34、rnet C. brain cells D. human organ57. Humans may live longer in the future because . A. heart disease will be far away from usB. human brains can decide the final death C. the basic materials of cells will last foreverD. human organs can be repaired by new medicine58.We can learn from the passage th
35、at .A. human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB. humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsCOn a hot muggy（闷热的） August afternoon, I had
36、every reason to feel sorry for myself - my flight home was full and late.I got even impatient waiting in the noisy crowd. And then I noticed a 5-year-old boy standing by his mother and watching me. He looked at me, then my bag, then back at me. 59 , he left his mothers side and slowly began to walk
37、toward me, glancing between my bag, his mother, and me.Great, I thought, now I have to baby-sit a 5-year-old. My day is now complete.As he came closer, I was alarmed that it wasnt me he was after. It was my hat!I started to tell him not to bother my things, but something made me stop and watch. He s
38、topped in front of my bag, looking at my hat, then up at me.With wide eyes, he gently ran his index finger along the edge, carefully touching the emblem(徽章).Again, he looked up at me, now smiling, but saying nothing. I asked him if he would like to wear my captain hat.He excitedly nodded his head, s
39、till smiling. I placed my hat on his head, but it fell down around his ears. He didnt seem to mind and held it up in the proper position with both hands. He ran to show his mother, then back to me still smiling from ear to ear.With much reverence(敬畏) and ceremony, he slowly removed my hat with both
40、hands and presented it to me as though it were the crown jewels.I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card. This, too, he held with both hands in awe.After this exchange, he still hadnt spoken, although I knew he was excited. I also was happy that I had been briefly distracted from my self-pity.S
41、till holding the card carefully with both hands, he looked up at me and said, Mister, you sure are lucky.Yes, I said, I sure am.That day, I got the last seat on that flight home.59. Which word can be placed at the beginning of the third paragraph?A. Excitedly B. Cautiously C. Disappointedly D. Sadly

44、hange is a problem very far away from our lives, and that only the government needs to worry about it. But its hardly possible to completely stay out of it scientists are now 95 percent sure that humans have been the “dominant cause” of global warming trends since the 1950s. One of the conclusions o
45、f a report released on Sept 27 by the United Nations says that human activities have caused global temperatures to rise by 0.89 0C between 1901 and 2012. That might not seem like a lot, but the truth is that a major part of that heat has been absorbed into the oceans, which is not surprising given t
46、hat they cover two thirds of Earths surface. Also, water has a much greater capacity (容量) to absorb heat than the air does, according to The Economist. While many greenhouse gases occur naturally and are needed to keep the Earth warm enough to support life, humans use of fossil fuels is the main sou
47、rce of excess (多余的) greenhouse gases. According to CNN, by driving cars, using electricity produced by burning coal and oil or heating our homes with coal or natural gas, we release a large amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Your body can barely feel a difference of 0.89 0C, but the Ear
48、ths ecosystems are so sensitive that even small changes can disturb them. It often starts with the smallest creatures at the bottom of the food chain, eventually affecting bigger animals, many of which could end up becoming extinct. Global warming is also linked to an increase in extreme weather. A
49、larger amount of carbon dioxide traps more energy inside the atmosphere. This changes the patterns of storms and rainfall in many regions and can lead to droughts and floods. Worse still, melting sea ice in warmer oceans is causing sea levels to rise at a speed of more than three millimeters per yea
50、r, according to The Guardian, which also increases the risk of flooding. “The report should serve as another wake-up call that our activities today have a profound impact on society, not only for us, but for many generations to come,” French Michel Jarraud, secretary-general of the World Meteorologi

D.Uninterested. E There are always minorities, either people or enterprises, that have absolute advantage（绝对优势）in a
54、field; the majority apply their comparative advantage（相对优势） to professions where they do their best to be effective players . Based on comparative advantage, different divisions are formed as international trade and the globalized economy develop. Oranges are flourishing in Florida in the United Sta
55、tes, for example, shoes are made perfectly in Wenzhou of China, and people in both areas need oranges and shoes. In Wenzhou, one could try to create an artificial environment for orange trees of an international standard, and in Florida workers could be trained to make shoes as effectively as worker
56、s in Wenzhou using the same resources. However, the costs would be too high. The best solution, therefore, is to allow each location to specialize in its own product, producing enough to meet local needs and exporting the rest. As a result, people in both areas end up with lower cost and higher qual
57、ity goods than if each tried to produce both. It is obvious that absolute advantage occurs in this process. However, absolute advantage may not necessarily apply everywhere. For instance, I know a capable company boss, who is also an expert in private cars and very skillful at changing car oil, even
58、 more efficiently than a mechanic, But, almost every time he drives his car to a garage to have the oil changed by a mechanic since he believes he can use the time to do something more valuable. What he uses here is his comparative advantage rather than absolute advantage. The same theory may also a
59、pply to individual careers. You may not be the best in a certain area, but still have a comparative advantage, which will not be reduced in relation to others absolute advantage, and you can still find an advantaged position in which your disadvantage is smaller relative to others. An ordinary talen
60、t can, therefore, achieve outstanding results by rightfully exploring his or her comparative advantage. In this sense, we may say that comparative advantage really works.67. From the example about orange in Florida and shoes in Wenzhou ,we can draw the conclusion that _.A. the field in Wenzhou can b
61、e improved to grow oranges .B. Florida workers could be trained to make shoes .C. we should fully use our absolute advantage in our advantaged field.D. our comparative advantage is equal to our absolute one as to making fortunes .68.Why doesnt the capable company boss change his car oil himself ? _A
62、. The mechanic is more efficient than him .B. He neednt do it by himself for his riches.C. He would rather do something more valuable .D. Changing oil is beyond his ability.69.Which of the following is right according to paragraph 4. ? _A. You should use your absolute advantage in your work definite
63、ly .B. You must work hard to improve your absolute advantage to be the best worker .C. If others absolute advantage is larger , your comparative advantage is smaller .D. Sometimes you may still use your comparative advantage to find your advantaged position .70.This article can be entitled “_”.A. Th
