In front of their house was a small di
24、rt road. Very few cars drove on this road because it was so far from the city. On the dirt road, there was a big hole filled with water. The hole was very deep, but drivers on the road didnt know just how deep. Drivers always drove into the hole, but they never drove out.One day, a man in a new car
25、was driving down the road. He saw the hole with the water, but he didnt think it was very deep. He drove into the hole, but he couldnt drive out.

26、blem?”asked the farmer.“Yes,”said the man.“My car is stuck in this hole. Can you help me?”“Maybe,”said the farmer.“But Im very busy.”“lf you help me, Ill pay you,” said the man.“OK,”said the farmer. The farmer pulled the car out of the hole with his tractor, and the man paid him a lot of money. The
27、man looked at the farmer and said,“You must make a lot of money pulling cars out of this hole day and night.”“Actually, no,”said the farmer.“Why not?”asked the man. “The hole is very deep, and a lot of people get stuck and ask for help. But I dont make money day and night because I dont pull cars ou
28、t at night.”“At night Im busy filling the hole with water,” answered the farmer.51.

31、lled Zhiyuan in North China, and Yaozi in South China? Early in the Five dynasties, a man named Li Ye used to make and fly a kite in the emperors court. He once attached a whistle made of bamboo to the kite. Sound was let out when the kite was flying. The kite was named after Zheng, a kind of Chines
32、e music instrument. Then it was named Fengzheng in Chinese.The earliest kite in the world was made by Motse, a famous Chinese philosopher, who lived 2,300 years ago, for military (军事的) purposes. He spent three years making an eagle and managed to fly it. The eagle was later regarded as the first kit
33、e in the world. Kite-flying became a recreation probably from the Tang dynasty when the royal family and people of the highest class were addicted to it. It was said that the Emperor Xuanzong in the Tang dynasty once was interested in a kite named Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea flying in the air.
34、Later, the paper-made kite was invented, which cost less and spread quickly among the common people. As time went by, kites flew to various countries in the world. The well-known British scientist, Dr. Needham, once described kites as an important scientific invention which spread to Europe from Chi
35、na in his book, A History of Chinas Science and Technology. The invention of the kite inspired mens dream of flying and led to the invention of the airplane.55.

Scottish radiologists confirmed in a study last year that bending back 130 degrees between body and the upper part of legs reduces pre
39、ssure on the discs (椎间盘) in the lower back. This is why the Aeron chair was so ahead of its time in 1994.But designers find that the features of chairs like the Aeron are lost on most sitters. Tension from bending back, lumbar (腰部的) support and seat pan depth are commonly ignored by users, who only
40、think to change the chairs height.This neglect has manufacturers such as Herman Miller and Human scale looking toward the next frontier: a self-adjusting chair. “Were working on a chair that will listen to whos sitting on it and adjust itself to their weight,”says Bill Dowell, director of research a
41、t Herman Miller, which makes the Aeron. Human scales Freedom chair includes a counterbalance system (平衡系统)that adjusts itself according to the sitters weight as he or she bends back.Or perhaps the chair of the future isnt one at all. Chairs contribute in part to the high rate of back pain, which aff
42、ects eight out of ten Americans.“Our idea of a machine for sitting may not make sense in a globalized world,”says Herman Miller designer Cameron Campbell. Galen Cranz of the University of California at Berkeley points out in her book The Chair that the Indian practice of squatting (蹲)and the Muslim
43、practice of stretching five times a day to pray have great ergonomic (工效学的)benefits. Ten years from now, one worker may settle into a low recliner (躺椅) , another will kneel on a soft carpet, and theyll talk across a pile of office cushions.59.

45、hanged in height61. What most probably makes the Freedom chair attract its sitters？A. Its ability to adjust itself.B. Its cheap price.C. Its understanding of sitters words.D. Its different appearance.62. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _ .A. workers all need a low reclinerB. the futu
46、re chairs will not sell wellC. the future chairs will satisfy different peoples needs D. the globalized chairs are in great needDATHENS - German Chancellor(总理) Angela Merkel on Tuesday pledged(保证) support for debt-laden Greece, which has taken significant steps, while calling for the austerity(紧缩) a
47、nd reform drive to continue during a six-hour visit to Athens.Significant steps have been taken, a major part of the road has been covered.

48、 Antonis Samaras at his office.It was Merkels first visit to Greece since the outbreak of the financial crisis in Europe. A strong supporter of austerity, she noted her short stay helped her better understand the pain of the Greek people.I hope and wish Greece will stay in the euro. We will boost(提高

It is our common interest to restore credibility within the eurozone since when one gets sick, everyone is not well, she said.On Greeces part, Samaras reaffirmed(重申) his governments determination to fulfill commitments unde
50、rtaken under helpful deals with European Union and International Monetary Fund lenders since 2010 in return of key multi-billion euros loans to help the country out.Greek people are bleeding, but are determined to stay in the euro. We dont ask for favors, but a chance to stand on our feet. Greece wi
51、ll meet its commitments as long as it stays in the euro and counters recession(不景气) he said, adding that growth-oriented policies would follow beyond painful financial discipline measures.Those who bet on a Greek collapse and EU serious injury will lose, Samaras said, underlining the Chancellors vis
52、it was a sign of faith that a new chapter has opened and Greece was on the way to recovery.The Greek government hopes Merkels show of support ahead of an EU summit on Oct 18 will create a positive climate to clear further financial assistance to Greece to counter the crisis.However, an estimated 80,

57、undless accusations by a US House committee against Huawei put tens of thousands of US jobs in jeopardy and are likely to cause huge damage to the US economy, says a Huawei executive.William Plummer, the companys US vice-president of external affairs, voiced the warning on Monday in response to a Ho
58、use Intelligence Committee report that accuses Huawei and another Chinese telecommunications firm, ZTE, of posing a threat to US national security.The House report recommends that US government computer systems and private companies should exclude any equipment from the two firms. It also urges the
59、Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States to stop acquisitions, takeovers, or mergers involving the two companies.However, the 52-page report fails to give concrete evidence to support the accusations the committee gave against Huawei, which Plummer said sustains(提供岗位) hundreds of Americ
60、an companies and tens of thousands of American employees.The American people deserve clear facts if they are going to lose tens of thousands of jobs, hundreds of millions of dollars in investment and billions of dollars purchase in US products and if they have to pay more for their broadband, Plumme
61、r told Xinhua.Commenting on the conspiracy(阴谋) theory that Huawei worked with the Chinese government in espionage(谍报活动) against the United States, Plummer said that the accusation ignores both commercial and technical realities.Firstly, he said, the report failed to recognize that the telecommunicat
62、ions industry features a global supply chain and that cyber vulnerability(易受打击) is a universal problem.What we need is a global standard that raised the bar for everyone, he said.Secondly, as a profit-oriented(以赢利为导向的) business, Huawei is not going to risk losing billions of dollars business for any
63、one, he added.Thirdly, if a company works with a government to conduct espionage, thousands of its employees would be involved, which would make the activities unrealistic, he said.It sets a very dangerous market distorting(扭曲的) policy model that other markets now may choose to use against American
64、companies doing business overseas, said Plummer.Huawei, he said, has been cooperating openly and in good faith with the committee in the past 11 months, but the committee never intends to conduct an objective investigation.We are trusted globally, said Plummer.

66、 to_ A. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. B. The US House committee will conduct an objective investigation later.C.

74、. Once I copied my deskmates paper during an exam and handed it in. The next day, my teacher told the whole class about it. I lost face. I hated the teacher. Days later ,the teacher had a heart-to-heart talk with me. He said he could understand that I would like to be good. But to be good should dep

76、etter. If I make something successful in the future, my teacher will be the first one who I should first thank.BAs you know, where there is understanding, there is a way. Mutual understanding without doubt plays a key role in making friends, communication, even the international cooperation. Sure, i
77、t not only brings harmony to the world, but also is a bridge that paves the way for everyone to step into the society. However, teenagers often think it impossible to make their parents and teachers to understand them. The reasons are not hard to find. On the one hand, teenagers have an appetite for
78、 fashionable things and excitement. In their eyes, their parents and teachers are too rigid to follow the times. On the other hand, their parents and teachers, growing in a completely different tradition, have a negative opinion of young peoples behaviour. Personally, first, both should acknowledge their differences. After all, everyone is unique in the world. Second, it is necessary to learn to be a little more tolerant. Only so can they find the beauty in others.
