COne day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷仓),they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out.A while later they indeed saw mice running out,one after another.Then,everyone thought that all the mice had escapde.But just as they began to clean up,they saw two micesqueezing(挤)out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts,the mice finally got out. However,it was strange that after they cameout of the hole,they did not run away immediately.Instead,ome chased after the other near the mouth of the hole.It seemed that onewas trying to bite(咬)the tail of the other.Everyone was puzzled,so they stepped nearer to take a look.They realizde that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything,and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that hecould pull the blind one with him to escape.After seeing what happened,everyone was speechless and lost in thought.During the meal time,the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened tothe two mice.One serious American official said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”The others thought for a while and said:“That was why!”A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was thatof husband and wife.”Again the others thought for a while,and all felt it made sense.A Japanese said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.”Once again the others thought for a while,and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.At that moment,one Chinese asked:“Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship? ”Suddenly,the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless.The American official,the French and the Japanese who hadspoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame,and did not dare to answer.In fact,the true love is not built on friendship,loyalty or blood relationship.Instead,itis based on no relationship.76.Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because ______.A. one was biting the otherB. the mouth of the hole was too smallC. they were not afraid of smokeD. one was trying to help the blind one

Interviewer-------- Why is English so important?David------- Well, English is so important primarily because so many people speak it and use it, so it has now become the lingua franca in the world in a way that we’ve never seen before. We’ve never had a world language of this kind before. So people are learning it not just to be able tocommunicate with native speakers, but also with speakers of other language around world.Interviewer-------And why has it become that dominant language?David------I think the reason for that is actually very complicated, although in the twentieth century, we can just see that it’s the rise of the US military and consumer power. I mean the technology, all the big developments in technology largely came from the US. So all of these developments actually were produced within the English language, and people had to learn English in order to understand them, or to benefit from them. The Internet is only one example of that kind. Once a language has got into that position of dominance, it’s actually very different to shift it. So we could be seeing the emergence of other big languages in the world becoming more important than they have been, like Spanish, but it’s unlikely that they’re going to shift the English from its position of dominance.36. English is important, according to David, __________________________. A). because it has become a world language B). because so many people speak and use it C). because a lot of people are learning it D). because it is the lingua franca37. English has become the dominant language in the world________________________. A). because it has always been the way B). for a reason that is very complicated C). only in the 20th century D). for no reasons38. English became the dominant language in the 20th century_________________________. A). in the USAB). because of the increase in American consumer powerC). because developments in technology came mainly from USA. D). all over the world.39. People had to learn English______________________.A). because developments in technology were made by English speakers B). because they needed to understand the new developments in technology C). to use the InternetD). to speak with native Americans40. David thinks that__________________________.A). it will be easy for another language to become dominant B). English will not always be the dominant languageC). it will not be easy for another language to become dominant D). English will be the dominant language

One thing most people these days seem absolutely certain about-and yes,this is a bit ironic-is that absolutist thinking is bad.Making inflexible demands of the world,then losing temper when they're unmet,is no path to happiness.Nor is seeing every issue in black and white,or refusing to be friends with anyone who doesn't share every one of your views.Absolutism is no healthier when turned inwards,either,where it manifests as perfectionism.Yet we all engage in absolutist thinking anyway,because it's easier:we cling to simple rules depression.It's easy to see why absolutism might trigger distress:the more rigid your map of the world,the more opportunities you're creating for that map to collide with the messiness of reality.

单选题请阅读 Passage 2,完成第 26~30小题。Passage 2 The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plague that flesh receives.The most widespread fallacy of all is that colds caused by cold.They are not, They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches, cold and wet,showed no increased tendency to catch colds.In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer, One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.No one has yet found a cure for the cold.There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms.Arctic explorers may catch colds when ____.A
they are working in the isolated arctic regionsB
they are writing reports in terribly cold weatherC
they are free from work in the isolated arctic regionsD
they are coming into touch again with the outside world
