12、s what they seem.” The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had，the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good nights rest. When the sun came up the next morning，the a

13、ngels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” “Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over h

14、is house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”“Things arent always what they seem.” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and

15、unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldnt find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things arent always what they seem.”21.The younger angel was

18、ngels are always ready to help the rich. D. sometimes things are not what they seem. B It is important for countries to develop. Sometimes development can do more harm than good for a country. Therefore, this development needs to be different from past development, which polluted the environment and

19、 wasted natural resources. One possible solution to this problem now being discussed is sustainable development. It focuses on preserving the environment and natural resources. It is all about creating better health care, education, housing and improved standard of living for everyone. This is a sim

20、ple idea, but one that is hard to put into practice. However, it is something that we must do, because without sustainable development our future and the lives of our children and our grandchildren will be in danger.Nearly everything we do in our modern lives requires the use of the Earths natural r

21、esources. These natural resources provide the energy for many important things. The list is almost endless. For all these things, we mostly depend on fuels such as coal, gas and oil to produce energy. We are now consuming these fuels at a much higher rate than they are being produced. On top of this

22、, burning these fuels produces carbon dioxide, which is harmful to the environment. This is why many people are pushing for the use of alternative energy sources.Alternative energy sources can be used without running out. Some examples of the alternatives are solar energy, wind energy and hydroelect

23、ricity. As people are becoming more aware of the need to protect the environment, these types of energy are becoming more and more popular.In many parts of the world, tentative(试验性的) steps are being taken to introduce these forms of alternative energy. For example, some people in Nigeria are trainin

24、g to use solar power, and in Costa Rica, people are now using hydroelectricity to provide power for their small villages. The introduction of programmes like these will hopefully help end the systematic destruction of the environment and see alternative energy promoted around the world. This will me

28、 be hard. I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. Id never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me, I had just

29、 turned 30 years old , and Id been married for a year, I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldnt work since most start-ups dont , and I wasnt sure what to expect, MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, Id been a garage in

30、ventor, Id always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion. I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the In

31、ternet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didnt already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hour

32、s before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didnt think Id regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less

33、safe path to follow my passion, and Im proud of that choice, For all of us, in the end, we are our choice.28. What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore? A.

35、he online bookstore would terrify him.30.

Which o

36、f the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Cleverness and Kindness B. The Starting of AmazonC. Following My Passion D. We Are What We Choose D As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that weve yet to get around to. Yet re-reade

37、rs are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austens Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times. New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-readin

38、g. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliots Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced th

39、e large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US

40、 found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”. Second time round, were able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed apprecia

41、tion of both the great book and its readers.”Its true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if were fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. Were changed not only by lived exper

42、ience but also by read experience by the books that weve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a j

43、oint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps whats really strange is that we dont re-read more often. After all, we watch our favorite films again and we wouldnt think of l

44、istening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.32. The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 main

45、ly to _. A. attract the attention of readers B. introduce the topic of the passageC. provide some background information D. show the similarity between re-readers33.

47、 benefits people both mentally and physicallyB. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC. we know ourselves better through re-reading experienceD. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)x_k_b_1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。Lately, th
