In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose i

12、s to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enoug

13、h; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree refuse to do what they think to be “low” work, and, in fact, working with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uned

14、ucated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fi

15、t us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can

16、 be considered valuable to society.1、According to the passage, the purpose of education is _.Ato build a perfect worldBto choose a system of educationCto let everyone receive education fit for himDto prepare children mainly for their future work2、Which of the following is True according to the passa

17、ge?AIts hard for university graduates to find jobs.BNo one would like to do work with hands.CEducation is not enough to build a perfect nation.DUniversity graduates are ashamed of their work.3、In the writers opinion, _.Aall the social problems cant be solved by educationBfree education for ail proba

18、bly leads to a perfect worldCfree education won t help to solve social problemsDeducation can settle all of the worlds problems22（8分）The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan!” Were friends.“Id rather pay, I replied. “If its free, I cant afford it!”Chinese often refuse payment for professiona

19、l services .insisting, “Were friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English，or get them into an American university, and I wish Id have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!According to the Americans, “There is no free lunch.”, means that theres a price

20、for everything. And Im always looking around to figure out what this means. Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he

21、 insists.I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind (磨) flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he and his uncle in the countryside had carved from a solid block of stone.Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who w

22、ould rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash cant compensate (补偿) for the greatest giftfriendship.When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping (呷) tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I sai

23、d, “they are professors, with plenty to do. But probably you are right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I!”And I joined the group. When chatting about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived, one man said, “They were pock

24、et-sized when you came here. Now theyre taller than you. How time flies !.”How life flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive. So the next

25、time someone says, “No charge. Were friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, Ill make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because theres still no free lunch.1、Why did the author insist paying the repairman while he was offered free re

26、pairs?ABecause he was an upright man.BBecause he didnt know the repair manCBecause he thought it natural to pay for others service.DBecause he didnt want to help others in return.2、Generally, the author thinks that .AChinese are generous always ready to help their friendsBChinese are good at exchang

27、e of equal valuesCChinese are free enough to drink and chat with their friendsDChinese are helpful but dont treasure time3、The best title for the passage should be “ ”AStill No Free lunchBA Good Lesson From ChineseCTrue Help or NotDLearn to Both Give And Receive4、Which of the following is TRUE?AAll

28、the Chinese that once gave the author help have asked him to tutor them in EnglishBWhen a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himselfCThe author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited lifeDThe author thinks little of the Chinese way of life.23（8分） “Be

29、afraid. Be very afraid,” says a character in The Fly, a horror film about a man who turns into an enormous insect. It captures the unease and disgust people often feel for the kingdom of cockroaches, Zika-carrying mosquitoes and creepy crawlies of all kinds. However, ecologists increasingly see the

30、insect world as something to be frightened for, not frightened of. In the past two years, scores of scientific studies have suggested that trillions of murmuring, droning, honeybees, butterflies and beetles are dying off. “If all mankind were to disappear”, wrote E.O.Wilson, a respectable entomologi

31、st, “the world would regenerate If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.”Most of the studies describe declines of 50% and more over decades in different measures of insect health. The immediate reaction is shock. Insects enable plants to reproduce, through pollination (授

32、粉), and are food for other animals, so a collapse in their numbers would be catastrophic.But a second look leads to a different assessment. Rather than causing a panic, the studies should act as a timely warning and a reason to take precautions. That is because the worst fears are unproven. There ar

33、e no studies at all of wild insect numbers in most of the world. Reliable data are too scarce to declare a global emergency.Moreover, where the evidence does show a collapsein Europe and Americaagricultural and rural ecosystems are holding up. Farm production still remains high. As some insect speci

34、es die out, others seem to be moving into the niches (生态位) they have left, keeping ecosystems going, although with less biodiversity than before. It is hard to argue that insect decline is yet causing significant economic damage.But there are complications. Agricultural productivity is not the only

35、measure of environmental health. Animals have value, independent of any direct economic contribution they may make. The more species make up an ecosystem, the more stable it is likely to be. The extinction of a few insect species among so many might not make a big difference. The loss of hundreds of

36、 thousands would.And the scale of the observed decline raises doubts about how long ecosystems can remain resilient (能复原的). An experiment in which researchers gradually pulled out insect pollinators from fields found that plant diversity held up well until about 90% of insects had been removed. Then

37、 it collapsed. Given the lack of data, it is impossible to know how close Europe and America are to an ecosystem collapse. But it would be reckless to find out by actually triggering one.1、What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph imply?AEcologists have long been afraid of those disgu

38、sting insects.BEcologists are worried about the disappearance of some insects.CEcologists have already got rid of the prejudiced feeling about insects.DEcologists are respectful of the insects ability to regenerate themselves.2、What conclusion can we draw from the studies conducted in the past 2 yea

39、rs?AThough there is a decline in the number of insects, we still have the reason to be optimistic.BBiodiversity can cause immediate damage so that we should take precautions right away.CData collected from all over the world is convincing to prove our environment is at risk.DThe consequence of decre

40、asing biodiversity may be more serious than we can imagine.3、What is the purpose of writing the passage?ATo show the magical power of our mother nature.BTo analyze why insects are on the edge of extinction.CTo draw peoples attention to the decreasing insects.DTo urge the scientists to collect more d

41、ata about insects.24（8分）Companion planting is the idea that when some crops are planted together, they help each other grow. The compatible plants generally have similar needs for nutrients, soil and moisture.Advice for companion plantings is sometimes based more on tradition than proof. But Fabian

42、Fernandez at the University of Illinois says there is evidence for some combinations. These can lead to better crops, reduce disease and help with pest control by attracting helpful insects. For example, some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen(氮) from the air and make a form that plants can use. T

43、he plants keep the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes(豆类) are especially good at this. Any crops sharing the same space can get the nitrogen as the roots decompose(腐烂).Crops like beans and potatoes, carrots and cabbages, beans and rice can also share territory well because their roots reach different

44、levels in the soil. Deep-rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down, so they do not compete with shallower plants. But some plants placed together may harm each others development. For example, tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does, as the name suggests. So you would pr

45、obably not want to put them together.Even after harvest, some kinds of produce should be kept apart. Apples, for example, release ethylene gas,a plant hormone. It can cause other foods to ripen(成熟)too quickly. Markets often separate high ethylene-producing foods from those that are sensitive to the

46、gas. But sometimes you might want them together. For example, if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana, the banana will be ready to eat sooner.Now what about peaches, plums and nectarines that are too firm to eat? Growers in California answer this question at . They say an apple,a banana or

47、a riper piece of fruit is not needed. The peaches, plums and nectarines themselves release enough of the gas to ripen successfully.Heres their advice: place the fruit in afruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over. Keep the fruit at room temperature. When the fruit is soft enough to your

48、liking, either use it or place it in a refrigerator to stop further ripening.1、What are the basic needs for companion planting?AGood old companions. BSome kinds of soil bacteria.CNutrients, soil and moisture. DHelpful insects.2、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?ATo

49、some extent, companion planting relies more on traditional experience.BIn the field of companion planting, proof always speaks louder than tradition.CTraditional experience is much less reliable than scientific experiments.DScientific researches have thrown light on the theory of companion planting.

50、3、According to the text, which group of plants are not suitable to be planted together?ABeans and potatoes. BTomatoes and watercress.CCarrots and cabbages. DBeans and rice.4、What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?AWe should choose fruit from markets as often as possible.BThe peaches, plum

51、s and nectarines should always be put together to get riper.CThe fruit in afruit bowl or in a paper bag should be eaten as soon as possible.DWe should not place any ripening fruit out in direct sunlight.25（10分）A music festival is a community event focusing on live performances of singing and instrum
