There slowly, the rocks broke up

21、into smaller and smaller pieces. Finally stones, pebble(卵石) and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. They remain mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil.There are many ways in which

22、large pieces of rock break into smaller ones. Wind, water, heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layer of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and crack(裂缝) in the rock, which become bigger and finally the ro

23、ck breaks up into smaller pieces.The moving water of streams and rivers also help to break up rocks. As the water moves along, it carries with it small pieces of rock. These rub the larger ones. Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces. The heat of the sun also help to breaking up rock

24、s. When the sun shines, the rocks become very hot. If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil. Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and cracks become wider, and finally break into smaller pieces.61Acco

28、l characteristics, accomplishments, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have ins

29、pired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father. As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddys little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad

30、to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his childrens lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among m

31、y people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to

32、be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and sense of

33、 understanding. He is a very reserved man, but to everybodys surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends. Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is o

34、f his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in. 66. What is the best title for the passage? A. How my father loved meB. My fatherthe person I admire mostC. I am the apple on my fathers palm D. My fatherthe one who influenced me most67. Which of the following could no

35、t be used to describe the authors father? A. Considerate and humorous B. Affectionate and open-mindedC. Knowledgeable and sociableD. Energetic and helpful68.

She considered her father humorous and was often made to laugh by him. C. She had sympathy(认同) for the fatherless. D. She was o

38、utstanding in work because her father pushed her hard.C“Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough. If there is no substance(事实) behind the image, the product, service or person

39、will fail eventually.First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by

40、the advertising agencies. But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back. For example, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness. But the re

41、cent scandal (丑闻) showed that behind that image, it cheated in business practices. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led

42、to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm.Similarly, personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars. Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can

43、 build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and se

44、rvices, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close.To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a person. But image is onl

45、y half of the equation. What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success.71. The downfall of the Arthour Andersen accounting firm is due to _.A. its dishonesty in business B. its

46、 previous images C. its bad management D. its poor service72. Why did some famous people fall from grace?A. Their images were not well built up B. They failed to live up to their images.C.They felt much pressure from the public D. They paid little attention to fame and fortune. 73.The structure of t

47、he passage is _.A: ArgumentP: PointC: Conclusion74. The author tries to argue that _.A. image creates everything B. image is the key to successC. truth is unlikely ever to be equalled D. truth and image are equally importantDAt Denver there was an crowd of passengers into the coaches（车厢） on the east

48、bound B. & M. express. In one coach there sat a very pretty young woman dressed in elegant taste and surrounded by all the luxurious comforts of an experienced traveler. Among the newcomers were two young men, one of handsome presence with a bold, frank face expression and manner; the other a ru

49、ffled, glum-faced person, heavily built and roughly dressed. The two were handcuffed（拷上手铐） together.As they passed down the aisle of the coach the only available seat offered was a reversed one facing the attractive young woman. Here the linked couple seated themselves. The young woman's glance

50、fell upon them with a distant, swift disinterest; then with a lovely smile brightening her face and a tender pink tingeing（稍加染色，影响） her rounded cheeks, she held out a little gray-gloved hand. When she spoke her voice, full, sweet, and deliberate, proclaimed that its owner was accustomed to speak and

51、 be heard."Well, Mr. Easton, if you will make me speak first, I suppose I must. Don't you ever recognize old friends when you meet them in the West?"The younger man aroused himself sharply at the sound of her voice, seemed to struggle with a slight embarrassment which he threw off inst

52、antly, and then clasped her fingers with his left hand."It's Miss Fairchild," he said, with a smile. "I'll ask you to excuse the other hand; "it's otherwise engaged just at present."He slightly raised his right hand, bound at the wrist by the shining "bracel

53、et" to the left one of his companion. The glad look in the girl's eyes slowly changed to a bewildered horror. The glow faded from her cheeks. Her lips parted in a vague（含糊，犹豫）, relaxing distress. Easton, with a little laugh, as if amused, was about to speak again when the other forestalled

54、him. The glum-faced man had been watching the girl's face expression with veiled glances from his keen, shrewd eyes."You'll excuse me for speaking, miss, but, I see you're acquainted with（认识，熟悉） the officer here. If you'll ask him to speak a word for me when we get to the pen（围栏

55、，监狱） he'll do it, and it'll make things easier for me there. He's taking me to Leavenworth prison. It's seven years for cheating.""Oh!" said the girl, with a deep breath and returning color. "So that is what you are doing out here? An officer!""My dear M

56、iss Fairchild," said Easton, calmly, "I had to do something. Money has a way of taking wings with itself, and you know it takes money to keep step with our crowd in Washington. I saw this opening（通道） in the West, and-well, an officer isn't quite as high a position as that of ambassador, but-""The ambassador," said the girl, warmly, "doesn't call any more. I needn't ever have done so. You ought to know that. And so now you are one of these brave Western heroes, and you ride and shoot and go into all kinds of dangers. That's different from the Was
