15、one can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck. Yes, when one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even though he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. Thats what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about. The expression was first used in 19
16、13 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people did things to keep up with their neighbours: they tried to look as rich and successful as their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a number of short stories. He called
17、 it “Keeping up with the Joneses”，because Jones is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of keepin
18、g up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read “right” books，go to “right” universities and eat in “right” restaurants. Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are Joneses in every city of the world. But one must get ti
19、red of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr Jones always seems to be ahead. 36.Why, according to the passage, do many people try to keep up with the Joneses?

24、 greatly increase your chances of survival(生存). Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear. Find a hiding place. Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold.
25、Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area，you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleyscold air falls，and
26、 the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain. Signal rescuers for help. The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point is possibleit will be easier for rescuers to see you，and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matche
27、s and a space blanket (a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanketgot side facing outon the ground. Do not walk away. It will make finding you more difficult，as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different dir
28、ection. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it. If you get frostbite(冻伤), do not rewarm the affected area until youre out of danger.

Now, an art show called “Doctor Strong From Then to Now”, is traveling around the United States. The pic
33、tures and drawings show the history of Doctor Strong. Doctor Strong first became famous almost fifty years ago when his first childrens book was published. Since then，he has written forty-five books that have sold more than one hundred million copies around the world. Doctor Strongs books are known
34、for their easy use of words and colorful，hand-drawn pictures. These drawings bring life to his imaginary(幻想的)creatures, The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant，The Grinch Who Stole Christmas，and hundreds of others. The San Diego Museum, in California, organized (组织) the art show. It includes about t
35、hree hundred Doctor Strongs original(最早的)drawings and some of his writings. Most of Doctor Strongs books，although written in a funny way, have serious messages. For example, in McElligots Pool, he describes the dangers of pollution. He discusses the arms race(武器竞争)in The Butter Battle Book，written i
36、n 1984. Doctor Strong is almost eighty-four years old now. He says he never planned to write stories just for children. He says he writes stories that interest people of all ages.

40、atientsC.just for adultsD.just for childrenDLegend has it that President George Washington never told a lie. Still, he was not perfect. A library in New York has a document to prove it. According to a written record of the library, Washington checked out two books on October 5, 1789, and never broug
41、ht them back.More than 220 years have gone by since Washington borrowed the books, and a lot has changed since then. Back in 1789, there was no Washington, DC. The US. capital was New York City, and that was where the President lived. There was only one place in the city to borrow books, the New Yor
42、k Society Library. It was there that Washington checked out the two books that were never returned. Washington had been President for just five months when he borrowed the books. One book was about international relations, and the other focused on lawmaking, which helped with his new job.The librari
43、an wrote down the titles, the dates and the name of the borrower. Washington was listed simply as “President”Under the rules of the library, the books should have been handed back by 2 November that same year, and their borrower would have been faced with fines of a few cents a day ever since. Over
44、time, Washingtons fine grew and grew. Today, the library is owed about 200,000 dollars for the two missing books. “Were not actively concerned about the overdue fines,” the head librarian Mark Bartlett said. “But we would be very happy if we were able to get the books back.”As for Washingtons reason
45、 for failing to return the books he borrowed, we may never have an answer. Perhaps he was too busy and just forgot about them. Maybe they were lost. Even though he were alive today, Washington might prefer to keep the truth a mystery. After all, it was he who famously said, “It is better to offer no
46、 excuse than a bad one.” 51.According to the passage, the president_.A. failed to return the books on timeB. enjoyed reading in the libraryC. had ever lived near the libraryD. told a lie to the librarian52.

C A、B和D项在文中都已提到，当出现那些情况时，仍有希望获救生还，所以都排除掉，只有C项符合题意。43.C 由文章第一段的最后一句. . . , but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear.可知，答案选C项。44.A
62、 由第二段的最后一句. . . , and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain. 可知答案选A。45.B 本文主要讲述了如果在山中迷路如何才能活下来，所以选择B项。46.C 细节理解题。由第一段第一句One of the best-known American writers of childrens books is Alfred Strong, or Doctor Strong. . .我们可以得此答案。47.D 推理判断题。由第二段第一句Doctor Strong first became famous alm
63、ost fifty years ago when his first childrens book was published. 以及最后一段第一句Doctor Strong is almost eighty-four years old now.可得出此答案。48.B 细节理解题。由第三段第一句Doctor Strongs books are known for their easy use of words and colorful, hand-drawn pictures.可得知答案。49.D 细节理解题。从第五段第一句Most of Doctor Strongs books, alth
64、ough written in a funny way, have serious messages.以及下文的举例可得知答案。50. A 细节理解题。从最后一段第三句He says he writes stories that interest people of all ages.可得知答案。51.A 细节理解题。根据第一段According to a written record of the library, Washington checked out two books on October 5,1789，and never brought them back.可知，根据图书馆的笔
65、录，华盛顿在1789年10月5日借了两本书，至今未还。即借的书没有按时归还。52.B 推理判断题。根据第二段Washington had been President for just five months when he borrowed the books. One book was about international relations, and the other focused on lawmaking, which helped with his new job.可知，华盛顿在他就职总统刚刚五个月的时候去图书馆借书，一本关于国际关系，一本关于立法，这两本书都与他的新工作有关。
66、由此可推断，华盛顿很有可能是为了工作去图书馆借这两本书的。53.D 推理判断题。根据第四段Over time, Washingtons fine grew and grew. Today, the library is owed about 200,000 dollars for the two missing books.可知，随着时间的流逝，华盛顿的罚款越来越多，现已达到大约20万美元。由此可推知，如果华盛顿健在的话，他将为这两本书付给图书馆一大笔罚款。54.D 细节理解题。根据第四“Were not actively concerned about the overdue fines,
67、the head librarian Mark Bartlett said. But we would be very happy if we were able to get the books back.”可知，Mark Bartlett认为找到这两本丢失的书比追讨回这笔罚款更让人高兴。55.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段Even though he were alive today, Washington might prefer to keep the truth a mystery. After all, it was he who famously said, It is bette
68、r to offer no excuse than a bad one.”可知，即使华盛顿还活着，他也不会说出事实的真相。毕竟他说过，什么也不说比一个烂借口要好得多。即华盛顿会对未还书的原因只字不提。.56. is willing to help others 57. coming to power 58. can you realize 59. are not active in 60. out of work 61. lose heart 62. set up 63. was sentenced to death 64. begged me to let him join 65.

She started playing the piano at the age of three, gave her first performance at four and won the first prize in a national piano competition for teenagers. She even dreamed of being a pianist, but during her colleges tim
70、e, a speech on international relations opened another door for her. She started to study politics and got her doctors degree. She became a professor at Stanford University at 26, and an advisor to the US president at 35. Now Rices greatest achievement has come as she replaced Powell to be the USs first black female Secretary of State on January, 2005.
