He tried to sell it for a long time， but was not successful， so at last he decided to solve the problem by using as real estate agent.（房地产代理人） The agent decided at once to advertise the house， and a few days later， the owner saw a very attractive photograph of it， with a wonderful description of its gardens， in an expensive magazine. After the house owner had read the advertisement through， he hurriedly telephoned the real estate agent and said to him，“Im sorry， Mr. Jones， but Ive decided not to sell my house after all. After reading your advertisement in that magazine， I can see that its just the kind of house Ive wanted to live in all my life.” 41.What problem did the man have？ A.He couldnt find his house B.He was unsuccessful at selling his house C.He was unsuccessful at buying a house D.He was unsuccessful at finding a real estate agent 42.Its easier to sell house through agents because _. A.they have a magazine B.they are better at writing articles C.they are good at better advertising D.they are better looking 43.Which of the following best states the main idea？ A.You dont know what you have until you have lost it. B.Its hard to sell a house C.No one likes to live in the country. D.There is no place like home. 44.In the passage the word“attractive”most nearly means _. A.perfect B.complete C.modern D.pleasant to look at B In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck. Yet， when one becomes rich， he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich， he wants people to think that he is. That is what“Keeping up with the Joneses”is about. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself： He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York Ciry. But just moving there was not enough. When he saw that rich people rode horses. Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants， Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors. It was like a race， but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that. The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses”，because “Jones”is a very common name in the United States.“Keeping up with the Joneses”came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the “right”books， go to the “right”universities and eat in the“right”restaurants. Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are“Joneses”in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses， because no matter what one does， Mr Jones seems always to be ahead. 45.The writer of the passage believes _. A.anyone in the United States can become rich but might be poor soon B.anyone in the United States can become rich if he works hard and has good luck C.he can become rich in the future though he is not lucky enough D.anyone in the United States who works hard can become rich 46.It can be inferred from the story that rich people _ A.like to live outside New York City B.like to live in New York City C.like to live in apartments D.like to have many neighbors 47.Arthur Momand used the name“Jones”in his series of short stories because Jones is _. A.an important name B.a popular name in the United States C.his neighbors name D.not a good name 48.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because _. A.they want to be as rich as their neighbors B.they want others to know or to think that they are rich C.they dont want others to know they are rich D.they want to be happy C According to the dictionary definition of create，ordinary people are creative every day.To create means to bring into being，to cause to exist something each of us does daily. We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way.First， this includes an awareness（意识） of our surroundings.It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world.This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture（质地），as well as taste， when we plan a meal.Above all，it is the ability to notice things that others might miss. A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things.If we believe the expression，There is nothing new under the sun，the creativity is remaking or recombining（重组）the old in new ways.For example，we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture，or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph. A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas，to ask for them to achieve some new results.To think up a new idea is one thing；to put the idea to work is another. These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses，but they are also included in many of our daytoday activities. 49.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage？ A. To prepare for a meal. B. To arrange the furniture in a special way. C. To buy some books from a bookstore. D. Towrite a letter with the computer. 50.There is nothing new under the sunreally implies that . A. a new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things B. a new thing is only a tale C. we can seldom create new things D. we can hardly see really new things in the world 51.What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice？ A. Its more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice. B. To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing. C. A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor. D. One may come up with a new thought，but can not put it into practiceD Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear？ What do you think of that？ Fashionable？ Some of todays teenagers are big fans of such a look. But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools. The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip， when he saw one boys baggy trousers slide to his feet. He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school. But in Italy， a nation that takes fashion very seriously， the suggestion caused a debate among parents， teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmasters request will limit students freedom or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual. A parents group praised the move in favor of good taste， while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.“We do not want to kick fashion out，” the headmaster explained， “but extrems （极端） of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers. Most students have simply ignored the request. Ludovica Gaudio， 14， wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold， so she wore a matching orange scarf. Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request， simply for practical reasons. “I dont really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans，” said Sarah Lattanzi， “in winter， when dressed like that， its quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.” 52. What led to the argument in Italian middle schools？ A. Students craze for fashions. B. Clothes that are too exposing. C. Students ignoring dress codes（着装规则） D. Students underwear. 53. Which of the following supports the headmasters request？ A. Fashion should be taken seriously. B. Fashion should not be followed in school. C. Students should have their freedom in choosing what they wear. D. Students should be encouraged to have good taste in clothes. 54. The argument against the headmasters request is that _. A. schools should pay attention to things more important than students clothes B. fashion should not be followed in school C. dress in Italian schools is too casual D. low-rise jeans can do harm to youngsters health 55.The purpose of this story is to _ A. show Chinese students that wearing very fashionable clothes in school is under attack in other countries, too . B. show that dress code is necessary even in a country like Italy C. tell us that a debate started in Italian middle schools over the way students dress in school D. let us see that Italian students react differently to schools requests.E Mother Teresa was born in Yugoslavia（南斯拉夫），on August 27，1910.She attended the government school near her home u
