friend of mine named paul received an expensive car from his brother as a christmas presenton christmas eve when paul came out of his office，a street urchin(顽童)was walking around the shining car“is this your car，paul？”he askedpaul answered，“yes，my brother gave it to me for christmas.” the boy was surprised“you mean your brother gave it to you and it didnt cost you anything？boy，i wish” he hesitatedof course paul knew what he was going to wish forhe was going to wish he had a brother like that. but what the boy said surprised paul greatly. “i wish,” the boy went on，“that i could be a brother like that.” paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “would you like to take a ride in my car？” “oh yes，id love that” after a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？” paul smiled a littlehe thought he knew what the boy wantedhe wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. but paul was wrong again. “will you stop where those two steps are？” the boy askedhe ran up to the steps. then in a short while paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. he was carrying his little crippled brother. he sat him down on the step and pointed to the car. “there he is, buddy, just like i told you upstairs. his brother gave it to him for christmas and it didnt cost him a cent. and some day im going to give you one just like itthen you can see for yourself all the nice things in the christmas windows that ive been trying to tell you about.” paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. the shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride. 41.the street urchin was very surprised when _apaul received an expensive car bpaul told him about the carche saw the shining car dhe was walking around the car42. from the story we can see the urchin _awished to give his brother a carbwanted pauls brother to give him a carcwished he could have a brother like paulsdwished paul could be a brother like that bshe is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever. but, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the mona lisa.the health of the famous picture, painted by leonardo da vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the louvre museum(卢浮宫博物馆) where it is housed.“the thin, wooden panel on which the mona lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. visitors have noticed changes but repairing the worlds most famous painting is not easy. experts are not sure about the materials the italian artist used and their current chemical state(化学状态).nearly 6 million people go to see the mona lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “it is very interesting that when youre not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said professor margaret livingstone of harvard university. “its because direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. da vinci painted the smile in shadows.”however, the actual history of the mona lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. da vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to frances king francis i in 1519.in 1911, the painting was stolen from the louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. he said he panned to return it to italy. the painting was sent back to france two years later.during world war ii, french hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of german forces.like many old ladies, the mona lisa has some interesting stories to tell.45what does the writer mean by “time is catching up with the mona lisa”?athe painting woman is not so beautiful any more.bageing is something that affects us all.cthe painting needs repairing.dat such an old age, she is no longer popular.46what makes the repair work difficult?athe wooden panel is thin and old.bno one knows exactly what materials were used to create the painting and how it might respond to treatment.cthe health of the painting is suffering.dexperts cant agree on how to carry out repairs.47which of the following is in the right order?the painting was stolen from the louvre.the painting was sent back to france.it was sold to frances king francis i da vinci carried the painting with him.french hid the painting to keep it out of the hands of german forces.a. b. c. d. chonestly, since my daughter was born, i have thought a lot about how to raise a child. i once heard a story that told about when a baby was born. the story said that when a baby was born, a new master was born. the parents of that baby would become the servants. the question is: why? based on my observation, this phenomenon is true. most parents who dont pay much attention to their kids have difficulties with their kids attitude.ill make a comparison of how two families raise their children. the first one is a family with three children. both mother and father never say no to their childrens demands. as a result, all of their children became stubborn and wont listen to their parents words, we cant.the second family educated their children strictly from one year old to high school. the parents never approved or agreed directly to give their children what they wanted. they always postponed one or two days, even if they could afford it. due to the way their parents educated them, these children understood that if they wanted something, they had to wait or they had to make an effort first. as a result, all the kids from the second family successfully graduated from university on time.in my opinion, if we want to be successful parents and raise our children well, we have to start disciplining them when they are toddlers but not wait until they become teenagers.48why did the writer give two different stories in this passage?ato help prove his opinion about raising a child.bto list different ways that parents may take.cto criticize some parents foolish action.dto prove that his way of education is right. dour surroundings are being polluted faster than nature and mans present efforts cannot prevent it. time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials. what can explain and solve this problem? the fact is that pollution is caused by man by his desire for a modern way of life. we make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim. so we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. there is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modern society. but as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem. isnt it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? it makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “ive some good news and some bad news. the good news is that were making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. the bad news is that were lost and dont know where were going.” the sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society. 51 man cannot prevent the world from being polluted mainly because _.athe population of the world is decreasing fastbpeople use too many man-made materialscwe have more and more industrydwe are producing more cars, trucks and buses52 people crowd into the cities because _.athey want very much to find well-paid jobsbthey are anxious to enjoy the achievements of our societycthey have become tired of their homelanddthey have a strong wish to become industrial workers53according to the passage, what does man value most?aindustry. bhealth. cclean air.dthe future of the children.54the story about the airline pilot tells us that _.aman knows where the society is goingbpeople do not welcome the rapid development of modern societycman can do little about the problem of pollutiondthe writer is worried about the future of our society55what does the writer really want to say in this passage?awith the development of technology, pollution has become a serious problem.blower the speed of development to stop pollution.cits time we did something to reduce pollution.das industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.e
