One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrib
14、le condition - and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words “Thank you“ and she die
15、d.I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what I would say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me m
16、uch more - she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. So did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for“, he said at
17、the end. And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel - this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus has said: I wa
18、s hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home and if we can create a home for t
19、he poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, be the good news to the poor, the poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a pie
20、ce of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But to a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society, that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable. And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is
21、the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.（分数：12.00）(1).What can be learned from the second paragraph?A.

24、he Poor are WonderfulC. Smile and Love D. Relieve Poverty（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.“A rolling stone gathers no moss(苔藓) ,“ but there is one living animal that does gather moss, the three-toed sloth (树獭) of South America. This slowest-moving member of the animal kingdom is so inactive that moss actually gathe
25、rs on its body and turns it greenstrange as it seems!Most of the sloths life is spent motionless, hanging upside down from a limb. And that is the way its hair grows. Long and coarse, the strands (串) from receptacles (花托) for the damp jungle algae (水藻) that turn the brown fur a mossy green. Actually
26、 this moss helps the animal survive because it serves as a perfect camouflage against the leaf trees and hides the sloth from the jungles swift - moving hunters. The sloth would have little chance of survival on the ground. With long, curved claws hooked over the limb of a leafy tree, it spends the
27、long hot hours during the day drowsing and eating. Inch by inch, it strips the leafy limbs bare and crawls slowly down the trunk to find a new dining spot, but only at night.In addition to looking rather like a vegetable, the sloth is a strict vegetarian. Running out of its favorite leaf is about th
28、e only thing that will make a sloth move. Then its appetite may even force the animal into swimming a stream to reach a juicy succulent(多汁的植物). It will also force it into fighting to keep the tree all to itself. The sloth is lazy and prefers to be alone, but it will tolerate its own relatives!（分数：12

32、 D. it wants to keep itself to itself（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.John James Audubon was born in 1785 and died in 1851, but his name is still spoken every day. Andubon was a scientist who loved nature. He wanted to show people the importance of nature in their lives. He was especially interested in birds, and p
33、ainted many pictures of them.In 1905, the National Audubon Society was formed by people who were also interested in birds and wanted to continue Audubons nature studies. Even now, when people think of the Audubon Society, they usually think of birds. But the society does other things besides watchin

38、eople, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947), concluded from other mens work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and tempera
39、ture have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abi
40、lities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring mans mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season, then
41、 winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!（分数：12.00）(1).Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have _.A. a great effect on everyones intelligenceB. same effect on most persons intelligenceC. some effect on a few persons intelligenceD.
42、 no effect on most persons intelligence（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It seems that the cold winter _.A. increases the ability to thinkB. is the best time for thinkingC. is better for thinking than is very warm weatherD. decreases the ability to think（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).One possible reason why spring is the
43、best season for thinking is that _.A. all nature, including man, is growing thenB. it lasts longer than the other seasonsC. it is not too warm and not too coldD. both B and C（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, any vacations from thinking should be taken _.A. several times throughout the y
44、ear B. during spring and fallC. during the summer D. as seldom as possible（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together.
45、In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happ
46、en with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character-tr
47、aining. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of ones country, but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a childs character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give mu
48、ch practical training in living, because most of the pupils time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for hims
49、elf on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.（分数：12.00）(1).When we play tennis we have to _.A. use, first, our eyes, then the brain and finally the musclesB. make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same timeC. use mainly the arms and legs to hitD. use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The “complicated c
