Although he was twice as 33 as his professors, he loved going. He said, “ You can never 34 too much, no matter how old you
18、are.” He loved everything about school. Learning new things was truly his passion. My grandfather s will to learn was a great 35 for me to do my best in school.

24、和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答 题卡上将该项标号涂黑。 A There are many islands in the South Pacific Ocean and no one knows how the people who live on these islands came to be there. They are very much like people who once lived in Peru on the west coast of South America. There is a legend that, when their country was attack
25、ed and conquered, these people left Peru on rafts and set off across the sea to the west. The legend was that they were taken across the sea by one of their ancestors, Tike, son of the sun. A Norwegian, Thor Heyerdahl, believed that they may have reached the South Pacific islands. He noticed that th
26、ey would have been taken in that direction by strong winds and currents, even though they had only simple rafts made of very light wood called balsa-wood. His idea was laughed at but he decided to prove it. With five other brave men, he built a raft just like the one Tike would have used, and they s
27、et out to repeat the great voyage across 4,000 miles of open sea, which they believed Tikes people once made. Heyerdahls raft was made of nine balsa- wood logs tied together with ropes. The longest log was 45 feet long. No nails were used, for nails would not have been used by Tikis men, and the raf
28、t was called “Kon-Tiki”. They took on board such food as fruit and dried food and coconuts, but they expected to live mainly on fish. They took a parrot as a pet. When all was ready, the raft with the six young men aboard was towed out from Callal harbor in Peru, and cast off at the mercy of winds a
29、nd currents. Their greatest danger was of falling overboard, as they realized too well when their precious parrot was blown overboard in a storm and lost. The light raft was driven along at so great a speed by the wind and current that it could not possibly be stopped, so whatever went overboard was
30、 almost certain to be lost. After three months at sea they saw their first island and smelled smoke from a fire. They had reached the Pacific islands of Tuamotu, just as Heyerdahl had hoped. 46According to the passage, it is still unknown . Ain what way people came to live on the South Pacific islan
31、ds. Bhow people live on the South Pacific islands Cwhether the people living on the South Pacific islands are like the people living in Peru Dhow many islands there are in the South Pacific Ocean 47Heyerdahl decided to prove that ATiki was son of the sun Bthe South Pacific islands were once part of
32、South America CTiki was one of the ancestors of the Norwegians Dpeople from Peru reached the South Pacific islands on rafts 48Falling overboard was most dangerous because Anone of then could swim Bthey could not stop the raft Ctwo of the men had fallen into the sea Dthere was only one lifebelt on bo
33、ard B Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery（抽奖） . It was great. I took tha
34、t dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He s really a big loser! He didn t say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted import
35、ant information. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic(策略 ). Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.
36、 Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an as saying, “During Government Smith s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith s term, the state had a net( 净余的 )gain of two million jobs. ” Advertisers will som
37、etimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might say, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples( 丘疹 ).”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation
38、. This kind of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well. 49Which statement is true according to the article? AWhenever people tell the truth, they are really lying. BYou can t trust gamblers( 赌博的人 ) CAll governors help their states.
39、DThe truth can be used in dishonest ways 50The author clearly wants people to . Athink carefully about what they read and hear Bknow that lies are lies Cnever trust anyone Dvote for females candidates 51Which of the following would be the best title? AYucky Corporation BEveryone Lies CLying With the
40、 Truth DNose Pimples C In the 1960s Professor Bolin predicted that the “greenhouse effect ” , caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, would lead to important changes in the Earths climate. At the time his prediction were regarded as science fiction. But it is n
41、ow gradually agreed that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will double from 0.03% to 0.06% in the next 50 years and that temperatures worldwide will rise by 2Celsius. Although a temperature rise of 2may not seem significant, the local effects may be much greater: in polar regions a rise
42、 of 10by 2025 is expected and in Northern Europe a rise of 4. Indeed the first effects were expected to be felt before the end of the 20 th century, But how does the “ greenhouse effect ”operate and why should such a tiny proportion（比 例） of CO2have such a harmful effect? When living creatures breath
43、e out or when things are burned, CO2enters the atmosphere. Until recently all of this was absorbed by plants, which converted it back into oxygen. However, the balance of nature has been disturbed. In power stations, in factories and in our cars, we are burning more and more fossil fuels( coal, oil
44、and natural gas ) and this produces huge quantities of CO2-18 billion tons of it enter the atmosphere every year. Added to this, the destruction of forests means that less CO2 can be converted into oxygen by plants. So, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year. 52Which of the fol
45、lowing statements is true according to the passage? AProfessor Bolins predictions were taken seriously in the first place BOnly a small portion of the atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide CNo changes in climate will become noticeable for 50 years or more DThe rise in temperature will probably be 2
46、degrees in every part of the world. 53The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year because . ACarbon dioxide is produced when we breathe BCarbon dioxide is produced when we burn things CMore forests are destroyed and more fossil fuels are burned DThe global temperature keeps rising 5
47、4The “ greenhouse effect”refers to Athe problem of the rising global temperature Bthe problem of increasing population worldwide Cthe problem of increasing population worldwide Dthe problem of air pollution 55The underlined word “operate ”in the third paragraph most probably means “” .
