27、ne or the Japanese one. Since they were scientists, they decided to do an experiment to test the watches.

28、 for several hours before speaking to each other. They both silently found that the German watch was losing 60 minutes and the Japanese are doubled that.The scientist with the Japanese watch then slowly raised his head and said, “Both watch are out of work, but my watch is right more often than your

One side of SARS is already clear. It
33、 is a deadly disease, which causes fear. There were 2601 cases recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government figures. Some 115 people have died and numbers keep rising.But, theres another side.SARS is a reminder of how fragile (脆弱的) life can be. Suddenly, its not just the old
34、 people who are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow.Li Ping, a Senior 3 student in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, came into contact (接触) with a suspected (疑似) SARS patient in mid-April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks. “Watching TV about mor
35、e and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be so close. Life is valuable and I am going to treasure every single day,“ he said.SARS teaches people to be grateful, not only for their own lives, but also for others. Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with
36、infected (被感染的) patients. As a result, more than 20 percent of SARS cases in China are medical workers.Liu Yu, a Senior 2 student of Beijing No. 5 Middle School, wants to be a doctor when he grows up. “Although they certainly know of the dangers, doctors and nurses remain bravely dedicated (致力于) to
37、saving peoples lives. I was deeply moved by what they have done. I think they are real heroes,“ he said.SARS also teaches sympathy (同情). The past difficult weeks have been terrible for Chinese people. But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and murders. Think
38、 of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years. Think of how the Americans felt on 9.11.And finally, SARS offers the chance to grow. All different types of people and government officials are joining together to cope with this difficult time. When this passes, China and its people,
39、 will have learned great lessons.（分数：4.00）(1).The story of Li Ping is given in this passage mainly to _.（分数：1.00）A.tell us the hardship of lifeB.tell us the fragileness of lifeC.tell the cruelty of SARSD.tell us the joy of life(2).The main points discussed in the passage is _.（分数：1.00）A.SARS is a de
40、adly diseaseB.Chinese people are going all out to fight the diseaseC.SARS teaches us a lotD.doctors are dedicated to saving peoples lives(3).Among the infected patients by SARS, which of the following is most?（分数：1.00）A.Students.B.Doctors and nurses.C.Workers.D.Officials.(4).The writer tells us of t
41、he brighter side for SARS in _.（分数：1.00）A.twoB.threeC.fiveD.fourBC/BIn the past 200 years, Australia has lost 19 species (种类) of animals and 76 species of plants.The Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service estimates that between 100 and 250 million species of animals and plants have lived on
42、Earth since life began about 3.5 million years ago. Today, there are between 5 and 10 million species, of which up to 1 million or more species could be extinct (灭绝) by the year 2010.Today the council of state and federal ministers responsible for nature conservation (保护) has produced a list of curr
43、ently endangered vertebrate fauna (脊椎动物). Three species of whale, various birds, a number of frogs, snakes and fish are also on the list.But there is some cause for optimism (乐观). Several species previously believed extinct have reappeared in recent years.This could mean that other “extinct“ species
44、 may yet surface-even the Tasmanian tiger, which some authorities believe still exists in the remote regions of Tasmania.（分数：3.00）(1).This passage mainly focuses on _.（分数：1.00）A.life history on EarthB.animals and plants in the worldC.disappearances of animals and plants in AustraliaD.discoveries of

47、D/BThe relationship between the home and market economies has gone through two distinct stages. Early industrialization began the process of transferring some production processes ( e. g. cloth making, sewing and canning foods) from the home to the marketplace. Though the home economy could still produce these goods, the processes were laborious (费力的) and the market economy was usually more efficient. Soon, the more important second stage was evident-the marketplace began producing goods and services that had never been produced by the home economy, and the home economy was un
