In 273 B.C., the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to use for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said: Your Majesty, they dont think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away.He added. Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isnt it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?Though Su Dais argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. Again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes(堤防) of the Huanghe River. The State of Wei was finally destroyed.26. When asked how to defeat the Qin army, most officials .A. were scared and at a loss what to do B. looked worried and turned to Su Dai for helpC. asked a large enemy force to bear down upon the borderD. were extremely frightened and decided to give up fighting back27.

Su Dai used the example of carrying faggots to put out a fire to showA. the ambition of the State of Qin B. the serious results of giving inC. the loss of the land of the State of Wei D. the trembling consequences of defense29. The story is mainly developed by .A. time B. logic C. neutral D. cause and effect30. The attitude of the writer towards Su Dai is .A. approval B. praise C. neutral D. disapproval BDid you ever look up at the moon and think you saw a mans face there？When the moon is round and full，the shadows of the moon mountains and the lines of the moon valleys sometimes seem to show a giant nose and mouth and eyes. At least，some people think so.If there were a man on the moon instead of mountains and valleys that just look like the face of a man what would he be like?He would not be like anyone you know. He would not be like anyone anybody knows.If the man on the moon were bothered by too much heat or cold the way Earth people are，he could not stay on the moon.The moon becomes very，very hot. It becomes as hot as boiling water. And the moon becomes very，very cold. It becomes colder than ice.Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright. The rest of the moon is cold and dark.If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive，he couldnt live on the moon because theres no air there.(Hed have to carry an oxygen tank，as astronauts do.) Theres no food on the moon，either. Nothing grows not even weeds.If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains，he would be very happy. There are many high places there，such as the raised land around the holes，or craters，of the moon. Some of these rims are as tall as Earths highest mountains.But if the man on the moon liked to swim，he would be unhappy. There is no water on the moon just dust and rock.When you think of what its like on the moon，you may wonder why it interests our scientists. One reason is that the moon is Earths nearest neighbor it is the easiest place in space to get to.Going back and forth between the moon and Earth，astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel. Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long，long trips to some of the planets.Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air. The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes. A telescope on the moon would give them a clearer，closer view of the stars.31Which of the following is the best title of the passage?AThe Moon BThe Man on the Moon CResearch on the Moon DWhat Is It Like on the Moon?32What is the reason why our scientists are interested in the moon?AThe moon is beautiful.BThe moon is different from the Earth.CThe moon is Earths nearest neighbor it is the easiest place in space to get to.DThe moon is the easiest place in space to get to and it has no air，unlike Earth.33Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?AThe climate on the moon is quite different from that on the Earth.BTraveling between the moon and Earth will do much good to astronauts.CThere is some food and weeds on the moon，even though theres no air.DIf you want to drink hot water on the moon，its not so hard to boil water.34The underlined word “rims” in Paragraph 8 means _.Aball Bhill Cround edge Dheight35What is the main idea of the passage?AWe can learn much from research on the moon.BThere may be human beings on the moon.C. If there were a man on the moon，there would be many similarities between the man on the moon and on the Earth.DA telescope on the moon would help scientists have a clearer，closer sight of the stars.CIn Western countries people have been using the installment (分期付款) plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. In the U.S.A., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan. The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment (预付定金) when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made. Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts, there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression (萧条). This is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.36. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the installment plan?A. A lot of British families use the installment plan.B. More than 10 percent of American families buy things on installments.C. Americans depend more on installment than British people do.D. Americans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying.37. Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because A. the buyer has to pay extra money as interestB. the delivery of the goods charges extra moneyC. the buyer has to pay a down paymentD. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money38. What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments?A. He might lose his job.B. He will stop owning the item he has bought.C. He will have to sell what he has bought.D. He will go into debt.39. The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that _.A. purchasing power is strengthened.B. employment might be increasedC. people develop a good habit of saving moneyD. young couples are able to furnish their homes40. In some countries, the governments control the installment plan to _.A. increase employmentB. avoid depressionsC. ensure that businesses make good profitsD. ensure that people can pay for what they buyDThe drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew hed been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.“Im disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. Its the first time Ive ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old mans sympathy.Mr Carrs brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Lets see what the police have to say. But first Ill call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.“Hes been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carrs arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”The womans calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I dont want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and Ill let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higginss hand.Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mothers actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.His mothers face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending.
