are these just stereotypes（陈规）or is there really such a thing as national character ? and if there is , can it affect how a nation succeed or fail ?at least one group of people is certain that it can . a recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the uk found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the british public .britain is hostile（怀有敌意的）to success , they said . it has a culture of jealousy (嫉妒) . as a result , the survey said , entrepreneurs were “unloved , unwanted and misunderstood” . jealousy is sometimes known as the “green-eyed monster” and the uk is its home . scientists at warwich university in the uk recently tested this idea . they gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money . some were given a little , others a great deal . those given a little money were given the chance to destroy the large amounts of money given to othersbut at the cost of losing their own . two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this .this seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain . but there is also conflicting（矛盾的） evidence . the organization for economic cooperation and development (oecd) recently reported that the uk was now the worlds fourth largest economy .that is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success . people in the uk also work longer hours than anyone else in europe . so the british people are not lazy , either .“its not really success that the british dislike,” says carey cooper , a professor of management at the university of manchester institute of science and technology . “its people using their success in a way that seems arrogant (傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots .”perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem . they set out to do things in their way . they work long hours . by their own efforts they become millionaires . but instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them . it hardly seems worth following their example . if they were more friendly , people would like them more . and more people want to be like them .40what does the underlined “it” in the second paragraph refer to ?aone group of people ba great survey cnational character da nation 41most entrepreneurs surveyed believe that athey are not popular simply because they are successful bthe british public are hardworking clove of success is britains national character dthey are considered as “green-eyed monsters”42what does the result of the warwich university test show ?atwo thirds of the people tested didnt love money bmost people would rather fail than see others succeed can imaginary amount of money does not attract people dmost people are willing to enjoy success with others 43the writer of the passage seems to suggest that .ajealousy is britains national character bbritish entrepreneurs are not fairly treated cthe scientists are warwich university did a successful test dthe british dislike the entrepreneurs because they do not behave properlyc the year is 2094. it has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the earth. most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the earth. on 17 july , a piece four kilometers wide enters the earths atmosphere(大气层) with a massive explosion. about half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the south atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. the sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. the wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern africa at 800 kilometers an hour. cities on the african coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned（淹死）. before the waves reach south america, the second piece of the comet lands in argentina（阿根廷）. earthquakes and volcanoes（火山） are set off in the andes mountains. the shock waves move north into california and all around the pacific ocean. the cities of los angeles, san francisco and tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north wont escape for long. because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero . crops are ruined. the sun wont be seen again for many years. wars break out as countries fight for food. a year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive. could it really happen? in fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the earth. the dinosaurs were on the earth for over 160 million years. then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. many scientists believe that the earth was hit by a piece of object in space. the dinosaurs couldnt live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. will we meet the same end?44what is mainly described in the passage?aa historic discovery. ban event of imagination. ca research on space. da scientific adventure. 45when the first piece hits the south atlantic, it causes . aan earthquake bdamages to cities can earth explosion dhuge waves 46why cant the northern half of the earth escape for long?abecause the land is covered with water bbecause the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth. cbecause people there can not live at the temperature of zero. dbecause wars break out among countries . 47by giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove . aanimals could not live in the cold climate bwhat happened 65 million years ago was an invented story cthe human beings will die out in 2094dthe earth could be hit by other objects in space dwe often think of future. we often wonder what the world would be like in a hundred years time. think of space， perhaps a permanent(永久的) station on the moon will have been set up. perhaps people will be able to visit the moon as tourists. cheap rockets for space travel will have been developed，permitting long journeys throughout the solar system(太阳系). when that time comes， people will be taking holidays in space and visiting other planets. great progress will have been made in medicine， too. perhaps a cure will have been discovered for the most terrible of all diseasescancer. pollution is a problem we must solve. in hundreds years time it will have been controlled. all the world will have been developed even antarctica（南极洲）. there will be large cities in antarctica. we already have supersonic(超音速的) flight， but in a hundred years time we will have supersonic land travel as well. we will have used up most of earths land to build our cities， so floating cities will have been built. the japanese already have plans for cities of this
