When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper. As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhovs medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference(冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a full-tine writer and published some of his most memorable stories. Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia. Tragic events controlled his characters who were filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair. It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhovs stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhovs works combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity(敏感) od an artist. Some of Chekhovs works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell(装在套子里的人), about a school teachers extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.21.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov .A.had a lawful lover B.was an illegal writerC.used to be a lawyer D.was a capable doctor22.In 1880, Chekhov .A.became a full-time writer B.studied medicine in Moscow UniversityC.parctied medicine in his hometown D.pulished his most memorable stories23.Which of the following is the right order of the events?a.became a doctorb.became a full-time writerc.started to publish comic short storiesd.wrote regularly for a local daily newspapere.entered the Moscow University Medical SchoolA.ecadb B.dabce C.ecbad D.aecbdB If your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, hed offer you more money to do so-or even double that depending on where you live now. Thats because Moscow has just been found to be the worlds most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting. Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing , transportation, food, clothing, household goods abd entertainment(娱乐). A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4000 a month: a CD $24.83, and an international newspaper $6.30,according to Mercer, By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger(汉堡包) is a steal at $4.80. London takes the Mo.2 place, up from No.5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar. Mercer estimates(估算) London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days. Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of Which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No.5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly. Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the worlds most expensive cities. But both have fallen since last years study-New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago. San Francisco came in a distant third at No.54, down 20 places from a year earlier. Toronto, meanwhile, us Canadas most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide.

Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership(伙伴关系) which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because They want a ride, but because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as dustman, taking some of the waste product from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that cannot live normally, the corals will die.29.Some birds like to sit on a sheep because .A.they can eat its parasites B.they depend on the sheep for existenceC.they enjoy traveling with the sheep D.they find the position most comfortable30.The underlined word they in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to .A.birds and parasites B.birds and sheepC.parasite and sheep D.sheep, birds and parasites30.It can be learnt from the text that coral depends on the plant for .A.comfort B.light C.food D.oxygen32.What Does the scend passage mainly discuss?A.Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.B.Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.C.Some plants depend on each other for food.D.Some animals live better together.DThe womans college had a very small car-park, and as several of the teachers and students. and many of the students boy-friends, had cars, it was often different to find a place to park.
