I’m thinking about his words, and they’ve changed the way I live my life.I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings.Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer.“Someday ”and “one of these days ”are losing their importanceon my vocabulary.If it’s worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now.Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold back or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives.Every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself meaning of your life.56．Why did Jan buy the beautiful skirt but didn’t wear it?

Baths and bathing have been considered of an important medical therapy to man.In Greece there are the ruins of a bath tub and water system built over 3 000 years ago.The Romans had warm public baths.In some public baths as many 3 000 persons could bathe at the same time.[来源:学科网ZXXK]

Treating diseases by bathing has been popular for centuries.Modern medical bathing, or late 1 700’s also became popular in the United States.For many years frequent bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health.Ordinary bathing just to be clean was avoided, and perfume(香水)was used to cover up body and smell.By the 1 700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health.They believed that it was good for people to be clean.Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently.In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular.During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “the great unwashed”.In one American city, for example, a person could only take a bath every 30 days!That was a law.Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit.People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health.Doctors know that dirty bodies increase that chance of disease.Therefore in the United States people generally bathe often.67．What does the word “hydrotherapy” underlined in the second paragraph refer to?

Forces other than damaging winds are also at work inside tornadoes(龙卷风).Sometimes, as the wind passes a house, the walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off inside.This explosion is caused by the low air pressure at

the center of a tornado.The pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 pounds per square inch.However, inside the house the air pressure is normal, about 15 pounds per

square inch.The difference of 2 pounds per square inch between the inside and outside pressure may not seem like much.But suppose a tornado passes over a small building that measures 20 by 10 by 10 feet.On each square inch of the building, there is 2 pounds of pressure from the inside that is not balanced by air pressure outside the building.On the ceiling, that adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57600 pounds.The pressure of the four walls adds up to 172800 pounds.If windows are open in the building, some of the inside air will rush out through them.This will balance the pressure inside and outside the building.But if the windows are shut tightly, the huge inside pressure may cause the building to burst.Unfortunately, heavy rain often occurs in the storms that later produce tornadoes, so people often shut their windows.This may cause far worse damage later.1．What did the paragraph before this passage most probably discuss?

A.Measuring rainfall from a stormB.The powerful winds of tornadoes.C.The kinds of damage caused by explosions

D.Repairing the damage from tornadoes.2．Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?

A.How tornadoes can be prevented.B.When tornadoes usually occur.C.Where tornadoes are formed.D.Why tornadoes cause so much damage.3．Tornadoes can destroy buildings because the______.A.force of a tornado increases the air pressure in a building.B.air pressure at the center of a tornado is over 172000 pounds.C.weight of a tornado can destroy a building’s roof when it passes over

head.D.air pressure inside a tornado is less than the air pressure inside a building.4．What is the difference per square inch between the air pressure inside a building and the air pressure inside a tornado? A.2 pounds.B.10 pounds.C.13 pounds.D.15 pounds.102DBACB103CDBA104BACA105CDDA

(98)LONDON----A morning‟s train ride away, across the Channel, English kids

talk about Liverpool‟s soccer team in a Paris pub.Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival(竞争的)cities, London and Paris, in” A Tale of Two Cities.” These days, it might be A Tale of One City.Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor‟s broken French and respond in polite English.As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel.With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours.The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive.But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.“For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees.” I am French, but I‟ll stay in London,” she said.There is, of course, the other view.Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago.” I think people laugh more in Paris,” she said.In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions.As the European Union gradually loosened controls, “Both cities have changed beyond recognition.” said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place,” Collins said.“But if I had to choose, it would be London.Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”

But certainly not cheaper.In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don‟t have to choose.“I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a center, but life is so structured,” she said.“In London, you can be who you wan.No one cares.”1．The best title for this passage is______.A.Londoners and Parisians B.A Modern Tale of Two Cities

C.The Similarity of Two Cities D.Fancy London and Fashionable Paris

2．We can infer from the text______.A.Paris and London has become perfect partners B.London feels more full of life

C.life in Paris is structured D.Paris and London have become fierce competitors

3．The underlined word” flocked” probably means______.A.came in large numbers B.flew a long way

C.rushed hurriedly D.drove long distances 4．Living in Paris, you may find______.A.life is betterB.things are cheaper C.more attractive people D.a job easily

5．From the passage we can know______.A.the two cities have developed very fast B.London is better than Paris now C.Paris is a favourite place for all journalism students

D.people in both London and Paris now lead a regular life

(99)A well-dressed man enforced a famous jewelry shop.He explained that he

wished to buy a pearl for his wife‟s birthday.The price didn‟t matter.Since business had been very good for him that year.After examining a nice black one that cost $5000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pear so much that she wanted another one just like it.It had to be exactly the same size and quality, s she wanted a pair of earrings made, “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man.The jeweler regretfully replied, “I would say it‟s exactly impossible to find one exactly like that pearl.” The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $ 25,000 for the matching pearl.Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right.Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store.To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse.“I don‟t like to part with it,” she said sadly, “I inherited it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers.But I really need the money.”

The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind.Then he called the rich man‟s hotel to tell him the good news.The man, however, was nowhere to be found.1.The man said he wanted to buy a pearl for ______.A.his wifeB.his mother-in –lawC.his own motherD.no one 2.He paid $ 5,000 for the black pearl without bargaining because ______.A.he was very richB.he wanted to make the jeweler believe him

5.The jeweler couldn‟t find the man anywhere because ______.A.he died suddenly.B.He happened to be out

C.He got $ 20,00 by cheating and had run away with the money.D.He wouldn‟t show up until the jeweler called him a second time.(100)The class teacher thought that hobbies were very important for every child.She encouraged all her pupils to have one, and sometimes arranged for their parents to come and see the work they had done as a result.One Friday morning the teacher told the class that those of them who had a hobby could have a holiday that afternoon to get the things they had made as parts of their hobbies ready for their parents to see the following afternoon.So on Friday afternoon, while those of the pupils who had nothing to show did their usual lessons, the lucky ones who had made something were allowed to go home, on condition that they returned before five o‟clock to bring what they were going to show, and to arrange them.When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there.He was the laziest boy in the class, and the teacher found it difficult to believe that he had a hobby.However, at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies(蝴蝶)in glass cases.After his teacher had admired them and helped him to arrange them on a table in the classroom, she was surprised to see Tommy pick them up again and begin to leave.“What are you doing, Tommy?” she asked.” Those things must remain here until tomorrow afternoon.That‟s when the parents are coming to see them.”“I know they are coming then,” answered Tommy,” and I will bring them back tomorrow;but my big brother doesn‟t want them to be out of our house at night in case they are stolen.”

“But what has it got to do with your big brother?” asked the teacher.” Aren‟t the butterflies yours?”“No,” answered Tommy.” They belong to him.”

“But Tommy, you are supposed to show your own hobby here, not somebody else‟s!” said the teacher.“I know that,” answered Tommy.” My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies.”

“The sea is the common possession of all nations.It belongs equally to all.No one can take it entirely to themselves;nor is it„foreign‟to any one.”This was the decision of John Marshall, chief Justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835.It was made known as a basic rule of the sea that no one, and therefore everyone, owns the ocean.This means that outside territorial waters(the waters within three miles of a country‟s coast),the law is whatever nations agree on in peacetime and whatever the strongest navy powers can enforce in wartime.After the United States bought Alaska, Americans began to seize Canadians who were hunting seals outside Alaskan territorial waters.The Americans said that the seals were American possession because they often came into the Alaskan shores owned by the United States.International judges disagreed with this reasoning.In some cases, however, the special rights of a nation that makes good use of an open-sea area are recognized.All of the sea‟s rules are set up by international conferences and agreements.1．The idea that the sea” belongs equally to all” was put out by______.A.an unwritten agreementB.a U.S.Supreme Court decision C.an international conferenceD.a written agreement

4．Nations may obtain special rights on open waters by______.A.overrunning those watersB.guarding the waters C.using the waters regularlyD.spreading out their territorial waters

5．The main idea of this passage is that______.A.the rule of the sea was made known by John Marshall
