He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England.“One man draws out the
7、wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people
8、, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. “Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800 pins a worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not have made
9、 twenty pins in a day and not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, but he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it ac
10、counts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to _.（分数：2.00）A.take advantage of the phy

I picked it up and opened it to see if I could find out the owners name. There was nothing inside it
16、 except some change and an old photographa picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old, who looked like the womans daughter. I put the photograph back and took the wallet to the police station, where I handed it to the desk sergeant. Before I left, the sergeant took down my name and a
17、ddress in case the owner might want to write and thank me.That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also invited a young woman so that there would be four people at the table. Her face was familiar. I was quite sure that we had not met before, but I couldnt remember where I
18、 had seen her. In the course of conversation, however, the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her wallet that afternoon. All at once I realized where i had seen her. She was the young girl in the photograph, although she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I wa
19、s able to describe her wallet to her. Then I explained that I had recognized her from the photograph I had found in the wallet. My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to claim the wallet. As the police sergeant handed it over, he said that it was amazing that I had not only fou

If fire did not hurt when it burnt,
24、children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burn it before. A really fearless soldierand some do existis not a good soldier because
25、 he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of be
26、ing knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: an airplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!The important th
27、ing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take. In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear wa
28、rns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your
29、 course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.（分数：10.00）(1).Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if _.（分数：2.00）A.they were given no warning beforehandB.they had never burnt themselvesC.they had no se
30、nse of painD.they were fearful of the fire(2).A really fearless soldier _.（分数：2.00）A.is of little use to the armyB.is without equalC.is nothing but a dead soldierD.easily gets killed in a battle(3).Fear should be used properly because _.（分数：2.00）A.an airplane may crash on your houseB.you may get can
31、cerC.fear can only be used as a servant and guideD.men are now letting fear rule them too much(4).People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _.（分数：2.00）A.they have gained experienceB.they jump out of the way in timeC.they are calm in face of dangerD.they are warned of the danger and
32、can take quick action(5).Implied but not stated: _.（分数：2.00）A.Fear is always something helpfulB.Too much fear is harmfulC.Fear ought to be used as a servant and guideD.Fear is something unprofitable六、26-30(总题数：1，分数：10.00)WHAT IS ONEXHIBITIONSOil PaintingsOil painter Zhang Yongxus one-man show will r
