19、ollowed 55.A. mystery B. power C. information D. meaning ANever before had a Kitchen so much of a HistoryIt tells of Freedom,Success,and of the Architecture of big American cities.Because that is where it started:in the second half of the 19th century!Welcome to a new Era of Kitchen Interior DesignB

20、ack then,a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs dreamt of a new style of Architecture to express their personal wealth.This dream was realized by young architects such as Daniel Burnham and Stanford White.They all had studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.And they created a ne

21、w style for Architecture and Interior Design,named after the famous French Art Institute:Beaux-Arts.SieMatic BeauxArts Breaks and CreatesIn fact it was not a new style at all,but a composition of styles from different periods and cultures.Many world-famous structures such as the Chicago Art Institut

22、e and the Statue of Liberty account for it.But what does that have to do with your kitchen?Just as much as you want it to.Because in the same way that the anti-conventional architects back then took the freedom to combine elements from different historical eras,today,you too can break the convention

23、al rules of style and create something new:your own personal composition of your kitchen.For that,SieMatic BeauxArts offers unique opportunities:A broad range of seemingly conflicting features that you combine to a harmonious design of your own.You can choose from menu of various forms,appealing col

24、ors,and precious materials,to create an environment that is much more than just a kitchen:a reflection of your personality.56.Why did the BeauxArts style attract American entrepreneurs?A.It helped display their money status.B.It was created by famous architects.C.It was named after a famous institut

25、e.D.It represented the 19th century urban culture.57.What is unique of SieMatic BeauxArts?A.Its designs are anti-conventional.B.Its designs come from famous structures.C.Its customers can enjoy their own composition.D.Its customers can choose from various new styles.BHowever wealthy we may be,we can

26、 never find enough hours in the day to do everything we want.Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost,which simply refers to whether someones time or money could be better spent on something else.Every hour of our time has a value.For every hour we work at one job we

27、 could quite easily be doing another,or be sleeping or watching a film.Each of these options has a different opportunity costnamely,what they cost us in missed opportunities.Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and fr

28、om the stadium.Why not,you might reason,watch the game from home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends?Thisthe alternative use of your cash and timeis the opportunity cost.For economists,every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgoin terms of money and enjoyme

29、ntin order to take it up.By knowing precisely what you are receiving and what you are missing out on,you ought to be able to make better-informed,more reasonable decisions.Consider that most famous economic rule of all:theres no such thing as a free lunch.Even if someone offers to take you out to lu

30、nch for free,the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging:imagine spending your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something more

31、 profitable or enjoyable.Yet,in a sense its human nature to do precisely thatwe assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.In the business world,a popular phrase is “value for money.”People want their cash to go as far as possible.However,another is fast obtaining an advantage

32、:“value for time.”The biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something,so we look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time.By reading this passage you are giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities,such as sleeping

33、and eating.In return,however,this passage will help you to think like an economist,closely considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions.58.According to the passage,the concept of “opportunity cost” is applied to_.A.making more money B.taking more opportunitiesC.reducing missed opportun

34、itiesD.weighing the choice of opportunities59.The “leftover.time” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the time_.A.spared for watching the match at homeB.taken to have dinner with friendsC.spent on the way to and from the matchD.saved from not going to watch the match60.What are forgone opportunities?A

35、.Opportunities you forget in decision-making.B.Opportunities you give up for better ones.C.Opportunities you miss accidentally.D.Opportunities you make up for.CMy day began on a definitely sour note when I saw my six-year-old wrestling with a limb of my azalea（杜鹃花）bush. By the time I got outside, he

36、d broken it. “Can I take this to school today?” he asked. With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. I turned my back so he wouldnt see the tears gathering in my eyes.The washing machine had leaked on my brand-new linoleum. If only my husband had just taken the time to fix it the night before when I as

37、ked him instead of playing checkers with Jonathan.It was days like this that made me want to quit. I just wanted to drive up to the mountains, hide in a cave, and never come out.Somehow I spent most of the day washing and drying clothes and thinking how love had disappeared from my life. As I finish

38、ed hanging up the last of my husbands shirts, I looked at the clock. 2: 30. I was late. Jonathans class let out at 2: 15 and I hurriedly drove to the school.I was out of breath by the time I knocked on the teachers door and peered through the glass. She rustled through the door and took me aside. “I

39、 want to talk to you about Jonathan,” she said.I prepared myself for the worst. Nothing would have surprised me. “Did you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today?” she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite bush and trying to hide the hurt in my eyes. “Let me tell you about yesterday,” th

40、e teacher insisted. “See that little girl?” I watched the bright-eyed child laugh and point to a colorful picture taped to the wall. I nodded.“Well, yesterday she was almost hysterical. Her mother and father are going through a nasty divorce. She told me she didnt want to live, she wished she could

41、die. I watched that little girl bury her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear, Nobody loves me. I did all I could to comfort her, but it only seemed to make matters worse.” “I thought you wanted to talk to me about Jonathan,” I said.“I do,” she said, touching the sleeve of my

42、blouse. “Today your son walked straight over to that child. I watched him hand her some pretty pink flowers and whisper, I love you. “I felt my heart swell with pride for what my son had done. I smiled at the teacher. “Thank you,” I said, reaching for Jonathans hand, “youve made my day.”Later that e

43、vening, I began pulling weeds from around my azalea bush. As my mind wandered back to the love Jonathan showed the little girl, a biblical verse came to me: “. these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” While my son had put love into practice, I had only felt anger

44、.I heard the familiar squeak of my husbands brakes as he pulled into the drive. I snapped a small limb bristling with hot pink azaleas off the bush. I felt the seed of love that God planted in my family beginning to bloom once again in me. My husbands eyes widened in surprise as I handed him the flo

45、wers. “I love you,” I said.61. Why did the woman cry when seeing her son had broken the azalea bush?A. Because she could not tolerate the harm to it.B. Because it made her bad mood even worse.C. Because her son did not ask her for permission.D. Because she wanted to hand it to her husband.62. The wr

46、iter wanted to hide in the mountain cave probably for the reason of        .A. feeling fed up with her endless daily houseworkB. her husbands failing to fix the machine in timeC. boring daily routine with a feeling of lack of loveD. her hoping to seek happiness in a brand new pla

47、ce63. We can infer from the passage that the writer expressed love to her husband in that        .A. she was inspired by her son that love was supposed to be felt and practicedB. she felt guilty that she misunderstood her husband and wanted to apologizeC. she felt it necessary to

48、 have a complete family for the happiness of herselfD. she wanted to prove her love and expected the same words from her husband64.According to Dr.Swindles study，what will probably happen after hundreds of years?A.There will be an ice age after the Earth cools down.B.Volcanoes will break out even mo

49、re fiercely.C.Volcanic eruptions will be under control.D.There will be no glaciers on the Earth.DFreedoms challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic.We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom.Be

50、fore that there was no freedom.There were great civilizations,splendid empires,but no freedom anywhere.Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies,one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.In Greece,in Athens(雅典),a little city in a little country,there were no helpless masses.And Athenians willing

51、ly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed,and the unwritten,which must be obeyed if free men live together.They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never though

52、t that a man was free if he could do what he wanted.A man was free if he was self-controlled.To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom.They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair.Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens,not because it was forced on hi

53、m from the outside,but because the city was his pride and his safety.The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers.It cannot be

54、discovered once for all.If people do not prize it,and work for it,it will go.Constant watch is its price.Athens changed.It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance,a spiritual change which affected the whole state.It had been the Athenians pride and

55、joy to give to their city.That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds.There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work.Now instead of men giving to the state,the state was to give to

56、them.What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them;and with this as the primary object,ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing.Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of

57、 great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility.There could be only one result.If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good,they would cease to be free.Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom.It is to be had on no other terms.Athens,the Athens of Ancient Greece,refused responsibilit
