23、读理解(总题数：0，分数：0.00)ALife is difficult.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties repres
24、ent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nations.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their natures, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or
25、 anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes endless serious of problems, life is always difficulties and is full of pain as well as joy.Yes, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems
26、are the serious tests that tell us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to resolve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.
27、As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.“ It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.（分数：5.00）(1).From this passage, it can be inferred that_.A everybody has problemsB we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lif
28、eC life is difficult because our problems bring us painD people like to complain about their problems（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to_.A save space B persuade readersC make readers laugh D get readers attention（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The ma
29、in idea of paragraph three is that_.A most people feel life is easyB the writer feels life is easyC the writer likes to complain about his problemsD most people complain about how hard their lives are（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve i
30、n order to _.A encourage them to learnB teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemC help them learn to deal with painD teach them how to respect from the problem（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct“ suggests that _.A we do not learn from ex
31、perienceB we do not learn when we are painC pain teaches us important lessonsD pain cannot be avoided（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.BWe all believe that words of a language evolve (进化) gradually over the centuries, rather as animals and plants evolve over millions of years. Sometimes the change is so slight. as t
32、o be almost unnoticeable-finger, for example, means the same today as it did 1,000 years ago. Other words have changed out of all recognition. For example, modem English “lord“, a person with high social positions, comes from Old English “hlaford“. It used to mean “guardian of the bread“, a person w
33、ho protects the bread. But not all word meanings change like this. Just as new and different types of animals and plants can be reproduced, we can call completely new words into being.Anyone can make a word. The difficult part is to make it stay in the language. To stand the best chance it should pr
34、obably relate to a particular and fairly specialized subject. That cuts down the number of people who need to agree to use it. Chemists are often having to find expressions for new findings. Once that is achieved, there may be a chance for wider recognition if the expression comes to be of interest
35、to the general public.Ordinary people can make long-lasting words, though. In 1924, a competition (比赛) was held to make a word for a drinker of illegal liquor (非法出售的酒). A prize of US $200 was offered, and there were reportedly over 25,000 suggestions. The winners were Henry Irving Dale and Kate L. B
36、utler, who both came up with “scofflaw“. And that word exists in American English to this day, in the rather wider sense “someone who disobeys the law“.（分数：4.00）(1).What can we learn from the text?A It is the duty of specialists to make new words.B People are encouraged to make new words.C Words evo
37、lve faster than animals and plants.D New words are usually made by chemists.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).New words are usually not accepted until they_.A can express common ideas B are included in school subjectsC are proved useful by scientists D gain public agreement（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the t
38、ext, making a new word is less difficult than_.A determining how to pronounce it B having a new chemical productC organizing a competition D making it long-lasting（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The underlined word “scofflaw“ ( line 4, para. 3 ) originally meant the person who_.A drinks illegally B wins prize
39、for drinking liquorC disobeys the law D destroys illegal liquor（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.COne answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people.The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor (港口). The outer wall o
40、f the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in the fifty-metre high outer wall. The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete (混凝土) and glass. The glass
41、would be specialy made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this man-made harbor would be calm. It would be floating islands carrying more building; a hospital, two theaters, museums, an art exhibition hall and a church. One of the islands would be a spe
42、cial factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water.People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas. There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies. People
43、could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.（分数：4.00）(1).What was suggested about the construction of a new city at sea?A. The city was to be designed together with a harbor.B. The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.C. The building of the city would rest on a fl
44、oating island.D. The people would live in tall building surrounded by a wall.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).How would fresh water be supplied to the city?A. By treating sea water.B. By getting it from the surrounding islands.C. By building a small lake of fresh water inside the city.D. By transporting it from
45、 the mainland.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The suggestion made by the organization is to solve the problem that _.A. there is not enough space for building cities on landB. land transportation has become increasingly difficultC. there are too many people on landD. present cities are heavily polluted by cars
46、（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The purpose of the writer is _.A. to suggest how new type of harbor could be built at seaB. to give a description of a new type of cityC. to draw peoples attention to the problem of air pollutionD. to introduce a new way of building harbor cities（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.DAberdeen is an
