9、only flights to London 2. Next autumn when you see wild geese （ 大雁 ） heading south for the winter flying in a V formation you might think about what scientists have discovered as to why they fly that way. As each bird flaps （ 拍打 ） its wings, it creates an uplift （ 上升力 ） for the bird immediately foll

10、owing. By flying in a V formation the whole group adds at least 71% greater flying range （ 航程） than if each bird flies on its own. People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the push of one another. Wh

11、en a wild goose falls out of the formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance （ 阻力 ） of trying to go alone and quickly tries to get back into the formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. When the head goose gets tired, it flies back into the formation and anothe

12、r goose flies to the front. It is wise to take turns doing difficult jobs whether it be people or wild geese flying south.

13、s out of the formation, two other geese will fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection.

To the Editor, I have

17、been reading your newspaper, the Hometown Gazette , for the past two years, ever since I moved to Smithville. We moved here from New York City, so I am accustomed to reading excellent newspapers such as The New York Times . In fact, we still have the Times delivered on Sundays. The entire family enj

18、oys reading the recipes（ 食谱 ） in the newspaper, as well as the Styles section. The Times is great, but the Gazette is another story. Ive never read an article that doesnt contain at least three or four spelling or grammatical errors. For instance, in last weeks issue, you misspelled the word “ secre

19、tary ” used a singular verb with a plural noun, and used “ its ” as a possessive（ 所有格 ）. And that was just in the lead story! In case you never went to elementary school, “ its ” means “ it is ” . Its not a possessive adjective! Its a pity that this tiny little hick （ 乡下 ） town has only one newspape

20、r, because I d like to have an alternative to the rag （ 烂报 ） you publish. I find it hard to believe your news stories.

21、tionary. Sincerely, Jane Z. Jones 1.

22、s _ . A. happy B. humorous C. objective （ 客观的 ） D. angry 3. Which statement from the passage is a fact ? A. We still have the Times delivered on Sundays. B.

24、xpress his dissatisfaction with the local newspaper. D. It is obvious that the editors of the newspaper are not very careful about their work. 4. When a rather dirty , poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins , do you hurry on , not knowing what to do ,

25、 or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can t be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

26、Certa inly , most of the world s great religions （宗教 ） order us to be open - hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally （道德方面） right in the old days , when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and

27、needed help , is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments. First , some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil （恶

28、行 ） . Secondly ， there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer , wine or drugs. Thirdly , there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor ， but that is no reason for losing one s sense of pride and self - dependence. Related to this is the opinion

29、that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help. It is hard to come to any final conclusion ； there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can s

30、ave a life in some situations , and even if the money is wasted , that does not take away the moral goodness （ 道德之善 ） of the giver. 1. What is mainly discussed in the passage? A. Moral deeds of people. B. Religious activities of the church. C. Moral goodness of the giver. D. Arguments on giving to b

31、eggars. 2. What can we infer from the sentence “ But has the world changed? ” in the second paragraph? A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village. B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past. C. We don t meet with those who need help any more. D. Now it is the g

32、overnment s duty to help the beggars. 3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars. B. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs. C. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school. D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging. 4
