19、读理解 A In his 1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren “, John Keynes, economist, rewrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs ,which are indeed what other have , and relative needs ,which make us feel superior to our fellows. He thought although relative needs may i
20、ndeed be insatiable (无止境的) this is not true of absolute need. Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the superiority . He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of demands Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of qualit
21、y which can influence the demand for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. The goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.There are no ob
22、vious limits to the escalation of demand for quality. For example, Porsche famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market Priced at over $120,000,it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2004 the producer introduced some chang
23、es which made the model slightly better in handling acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To them, however, they must pay almost four times the price.By placing the desire to be superior to other at the heart of his description of insatiable demands,
24、 Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.36. According to the passage, John Keynes Believed that_.A. desire is the root of both absolute and relative needsB. absolute needs come from our sense of superiorityC. relative needs alone lead to in
25、satiable demandsD. absolute needs are stronger than relative needs37. What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3?A. They want to show their superiority B. They find specialty important to mealsC. Their demands for food are not easily satisfied.D. Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of qu
26、ality.38. What does the underlined word “escalation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Understanding. B. Increase C. Difference D. Study BNEWS BRIEFPrime Minister Tony Blair faced new allegations (指控) on Thursday that he misled Parliament and the public in making the case for the war in Iraq after he
27、disclosed his chief legal advisers written opinion raising questions about the legality (合法) of the war.US Forest Service officials are reminding people to stay off Forest Service roads that are closed. The fine for disobeying the rule of road closures is a maximum of $ 5, 000 fine and/or six months
28、 in prison. Those who enter the area and cause road damage may also be required to pay for repairs.In a second study presented at the meeting, scientists from the UK and Denmark showed that even a few days of high temperatures can severely reduce production of crops such as wheat, soybeans, rice and
29、 groundnuts, if it occurs when the plants are flowering.A bomb exploded in Thailands mainly Muslin south on Sunday, killing two police men and wounding three others, a day after Thailands queen condemned those behind a 15-month wave of violence (暴力).Mechanicsburg 3, West York l: Ken Stamper and Rust

34、 high temperatures to some cropsC. the relationship between crops flowering and high temperaturesD. the effect of high temperatures on the production of some cropsCIt was Saturday. As always, it was busy one for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside,
35、Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the
36、kitchen for more string（线）. It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Lets take string to the boys and watch them fly the
37、 kites a minute.”On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-
38、colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for joy of sending it up again.Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls.
39、 I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps its like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly.It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses. I suppose we h
40、ad some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didnt mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the other had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in
41、that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park, see duck.”“I cant go!” I sa
42、id. “I have this and this to do, and when Im through Ill be too tired to walk that far.”My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. “Its a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet theres a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash b
43、etween stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on”, I told my little girl. “Youre right, its too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath（余波）of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Bo
44、y, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of what dark and horrible things?“Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips. “Do you rememberno, of course you wouldnt. It probably didnt make the impression on you as
45、it did on me.”I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp（战俘营）,when things werent too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”43Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought_.Ashe was too old to fly kites Bher husband would make fun of her C
46、she should have been doing her housework then Dher girls werent supposed to play the boys game44By “we were all beside ourselves”, the writer means that they all _.Afelt confused Bwent wild with joy Clooked on Dforgot their fights 45What did the writer think after the kite flying ?AThe boys must hav
47、e had more fun than the girls. BThey should have finished their work before playing. CHer parents should spend more time with them. DAll the others must have forgotten that day. 46Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing ?AShe suddenly remembered her duty as mother. BSh
48、e was reminded of the day they flew kits. CShe had finished her work I the kitchen.DShe thought it was a great day to play outside.D You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did thing
49、s to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need
50、to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happ
51、ens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same ph
52、ysical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others-and even themselves-to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around
53、 them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible s
54、uffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a
55、 clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.47. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. People and things around you.B. Opportunities and problems.C. Creators and their choices.D. Victims and their sufferings
56、.48. According to Paragraph 2, creators _.A. seem willing to experience failures in lifeB. possess the ability to predict future lifeC. handle ups and downs of life wiselyD. have potential to create something new49. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _.A. strong attachment to sufferings
57、 in life pulls people into victims.B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life.C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains.D. ones experiences determine his attitude toward life.50. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To define victims and c
58、reators B. To evaluate victims against creators.C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.四. 任务型阅读Earth Hour is a global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund) and is held on t
59、he last Saturday of March every year, asking families and businesses to turn off their unnecessary lights and other electrical equipment for one hour to raise awareness about the need to take action on climate change. Earth Hour was put forward by WWF and The Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, when 2.2m
60、illion residents of Sydney participated by turning off all unnecessary lights. Following Sydneys lead, many other cities around the world adopted the event in 2008. Earth Hour 2010 will take place on March 27, 2010 from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm local time.Earth Hour 2009 was from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm local
61、 time, on March28, 2009. 88 countries and about 4,000 cities joined Earth Hour 2009, ten times more than Earth Hour 2008 had (2008 saw about 400 cities participate). Among the participants in 2009 was, for the first time, the headquarters of the United Nations in New York City. The UN conservatively
62、 estimates that its participation would save $102 in energy.Reports showed that the Philippines topped the Earth Hour participation as 647 cities and towns or over 15 million Filipinos were estimated to have joined in the hour-long lights-off at 8:30-9:30 pm local time. This was followed by Greece w
63、ith 484 cities and towns participating, and Australia with 309.The capital city of India, New Delhis power demand fell by 1000MW.The Canadian province of Ontario, not including the city of Toronto, saw a decrease of 6% of electricity while Toronto saw a decrease of 15.1%(nearly doubled from 8.7% the
64、 previous year) as many businesses darkened, including the landmark CN Tower. According to Vietnam Electricity Company, Vietnam electricity demand fell 140,000 kWh during Earth Hour. The Philippines was able to save 611 MW of electricity during the period, and was said to be equal to shutting down a
65、 dozen coal-fired power plants for an hour.Critics claimed that because Earth Hour volunteers drive around to get the word out, and because people use uneconomical battery operated torches instead of more economical light bulbs, its possible that Earth Hour actually resulted in an increase in energy
66、 usage.The Christian Science Monitor said that most candles are made from paraffin (石蜡), in some cases, replacing light bulbs with candles will cause an increase, instead of a decrease, in carbon dioxide emissions.TitleEarth HourDefinitionIt is a global event organized by WWF and is held on the last
