12、t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known. ”This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colours that had been throw

16、the film as they said goodbye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him. The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”“No, sir,” the men answered. The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked. “Well, sir,” one of the men

17、answered, “were on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”But then a young secretary had an idea. “

18、Why dont you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then itll look like a sunset.” “Thats a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”The camera crew went out ea

19、rly the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine oclock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased. They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero

20、 and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them.”The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the wa

21、ves on the sea were going away from the beach.24.

24、C. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imaginedD. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroineCOliver Twist was born in a workhouse, and when he arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on

25、 a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.Oliver fought his first battle without much assistance from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Olivers surv

26、ival. However, Oliver managed to draw his first breath, and then announced his arrival to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow and whispered, “Let me see the child, and die.”The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming h

27、is hands. “You must not talk about dying yet,” he said to her kindly. He gave her the child to hold. Lovingly, she kissed the baby on its forehead with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell backand died. “Poor dear!” said the nurse, hurriedly putting a green glass bottle back

28、 in the pocket of her long skirt.The doctor began to put on his coat. “The baby is weak and will probably have difficulties,” he said. “If so, give it a little milk to keep it quiet.” Then he looked at the dead woman. “The mother was a good-looking girl. Where did she come from?”“She was brought her

29、e last night,” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. Shed walked some distance, judging by her shoes, which were worn to pieces. Where she came from, where she was going to, or what her name was, nobody knows.”The doctor lifted the girls left hand. “The old story,” he said sadly

30、, shaking his head. “No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night.”And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. Without clothes, under his first blanket, he could have been the child of a king or a beggar. But when the woman dressed him later in rough cotton clothes, yellow with age, he looked exac

31、tly what he wasan orphan in a workhouse, ready for a life of misery, hunger, and neglect.Oliver cried loudly. If he could have known that he was a workhouse orphan, perhaps he would have cried even more loudly.There was no one to look after the baby in the workhouse, so Oliver was sent to a special

32、“baby farm” nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. Mrs Mann, the old woman who “looked after” them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children, and a full stomach was very dangerous

33、to their health. She also knew what was good for herself, so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the childrens food. The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent the beadle, a kind of local policeman, to announce th

34、eir visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.This was the way Oliver was brought up. Consequently, at the age of nine he was a pale, thin child and short for his age. But despite frequent beatings by Mrs Mann, his spirit was strong, whic

35、h was probably the reason why he managed to reach the age of nine at all.On Olivers ninth birthday, Mr Bumble, the beadle, came to the house to see Mrs Mann. Through the front window Mrs Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.“Quick! Take Oliver and those others

36、 upstairs to be washed!” she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.28. According to the passage, a workhouse was where _. A. many women died unexpectedlyB. workers helped each other C. the poor and homeless livedD. people were only interested in money29. Which senten

37、ce is most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 2? A. Therefore, he felt very lonely in the world. B. Frightened at the sight of the two, he started to cry. C. After all, death was a common event in the workhouse. D. In fact, the world was privileged to have him in it.30. It can be inferred that the

38、gate of the baby farm was always kept locked in order to _ _. A. protect the children inside from dangers outside B. prevent official visitors walking in unexpectedly C. keep the children inside working all the time D. ensure the children were always neat and clean31. What is the passage mainly abou

39、t? A. Olivers early life.B. Olivers personality.C. Mothers death.D. Peoples selfishness.DPeople have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. Its not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competiti

40、ve.Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of question. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the

41、two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The argument is often conveniently referred to as nature vs. nurture.Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are

42、largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined(注定)to such a great degree that we are al

43、most completely governed by our instincts(本能).Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. Behaviorists see humans as beings whose behavior is almost

44、completely shaped by their surroundings. Their view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (something that helps sb./ sth. to develop better and more quickly)as the basis of their behavior.The social and political connectio

45、ns of these two theories are significant. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligent test. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically worse than whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores

46、are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result ,they do not develop the same responses that whites do.Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely t

47、hat the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the argument will continue for a long time is certain.32.The author is mainly concerned about solving the problem.A. why our personalities and behaviors differB. what makes different stages of intelligenceC. how social scien

48、tists form different theoriesD. what causes the “nature/ nurture” argument33.The underlined word “proponents” can best be replaced by.A. approaches B. advocates C. principles D. characters34. Which of the following statements may be supported by the “nature” school?A. We are born with certain person

49、alities and behaviors.B. Environment has nothing to do with our personalities.C. Abilities and characteristics are showed by behaviors.D. Only extreme behaviors are determined by instincts.35. What can we learn about the behaviorists?A. They believe human beings are mechanical.B. They compare our be

50、haviors to the machines.C. They suggest that we react to the environment as the machines do.D. They agree that the mechanistic theory can be applied on us as well.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。所选答案涂在答题卡36-40的位置上。Never OverStudyWhen you spend too much time studying you
