（共20小题,）请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。a although ripton rosen was a white boy living in a luxurious penthouse (豪华顶层公寓), he liked to play baseball with his black teammates of the same street. ripton sometimes invited the boys to his home to play video games. as time went on, several of them became frequent visitors to the 16th-floor penthouse. in time, the group developed into five regulars: will and kindu, philippe medina, juan carlos robinson and carlos suarez. “in the beginning, it was just a lot of kids moving all over the place,” says michael, riptons father. things then began changing in small ways. when the rosens realized carlos wasnt attending school because he didnt have suita-ble clothes, they bought him some. then one night, they took the group to a bookstore after a chinese dinner and realized there were other needs. “the boys had no interest in books at all,” michael says. back at the penthouse, he insisted they sit down to read aloud and start a half-hour reading period before video games or television every day. slowly the five black boys became a necessary part of the rosen family. housework was assigned, including cleaning, loading the dishwasher and walking mr. jenkins, the family dog. the boys own families were puzzled by what washappening. “my mom didnt believe me when i told her about the penthouse,” says kindu. “she thought i was involved with something bad.” juan carloss mother, esther ruiz, wondered, “why would the rosens be doing this?” but as time went on, she noticed changes in her son. “he was getting responsible. the rosens are the best.” 36. the rosens bought carlos some clothes so that _.a. he would study harder b. he would feel comfortable c. he could go to school d. he could serve the family 37. the underlined words “other needs” in paragraph 2 probably refer to the need of _. a. knowledge b. power c. status d. money38. we learn from the passage that the rosens _. a. devoted themselves to fighting discrimination b. knew a lot about how to encourage children c. regarded friendship as the most important thing d. treated the black boys with great kindness 39. how did the boys own families probably feel about the rosens at last? a. uneasy. b. grateful. c. satisfied. d. sorry.b have you heard of the saying, “if anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well”? the proverb is a piece of advice to make effort towards perfection in whichever job one does. it could be a small task like folding up your clothes, or a major one like organizing a business meeting in your later life. perfection is nothing but attention to details. if it is your job to dust the furniture at home, dust it so that not a single spot of dirt shows from any angle. if your task is to make the beds, make them so that not a single crease (皱痕) shows on the bed-covers. there are only two ways to do a job: either sloppily, or well. if you choose the latter path, you need to realize that any job that qualifies as “your” work deserves nothing less than your best. perfection is an attitude that can be cultivated (培养) with just a little effort. it is a habit that stands one in good stead in later life. let us prove with an example: you may be asked to turn in an essay on, say, wildlife, for a school project. instead of writing carelessly a few facts that you already know, you could make the project more effective by looking up reference books, encyclopedias (百科全书) or websites for additional information. you could then go over the finished essay for slips (疏漏) and errors, and provide pictures where necessary. if you make it a habit to put in extra effort in your school homework, will it not help you to handle more difficult projects at the college or university level?as michelangelo, the famous 16th century sculptor and painter, once put it: trifles (琐事) go to make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.40. according to the passage, to achieve perfection is _.a. to realize the quality of the workb. to pay attention to details of ones workc. to do as many jobs as possibled. to form the habit of doing things ahead of time41. the underlined word “sloppily” in paragraph 3 may mean _.a. badly b. patientlyc. carefullyd. slowly42. what can be inferred from the third paragraph?a. it is necessary to provide pictures for your essay.b. websites are the sources of information you want.c. perfection is a habit that promises a good future.d. you should make much effort to develop perfection.43. the purpose of writing this passage is to _.a. introduce the famous painter michelangelob. advise us to do the things that are worth doingc. explain to us the meaning of the perfectiond. expect us to give our best to our workc the terracotta figures were made both in workshops by government labourers and also by local craftsmen. the head, arms, legs and trunk were created separately and then put together. studies show that eight face moulds （模具） were probably used and then clay was added to give them individual facial features. once the parts were put together, the intricate （复杂的） features such as facial expressions were added. it is believed that their legs were made in much the same way that terracotta drainage pipes were made at the time. this would make it a factory line style of production, with specific parts made and put together after being fired as opposed to crafting one solid piece of terracotta and subsequently firing it. at the time each workshop was required to inscribe its name on items produced so as to ensure quality control; this has aided modern day historians, as they can tell that workshops that once made tiles and other everyday items were commanded to begin working on the terracotta army. after completion, the terracotta figures were placed in the pits in precise military formation according to rank and duty. the terracotta figures are lifelike and life-size. they vary in height, hairstyle and uniform painted different colours in accordance with rank. the colored lacquer （漆） finish, individual facial features, and real weapons and armor used in making these figures created a realistic appearance. the weapons were stolen shortly after the creation of the army and the coloring has mostly faded. however, their existence served as a testament to the amount of labour and skill involved in their construction. it is also proof of the incredible amount of power the first emperor possessed to order such a monumental undertaking as the making of the terracotta army.44. the passage mainly tells us _.a. where the terracotta soldiers came fromb. how the terracotta figures were constructedc. why qin shihuang built terracotta figuresd. the high skill in making terracotta figures45. all of the following procedures resemble the modern way of factory production line except that _.a. different parts of figures were made separately by some workshopsb. all the molded parts were heated and made solid before being put togetherc. the figures were varied in height, hairstyle and uniform color according to rankd. the intricate facial features were added to the figures at last46. the following words can be used to describe the terracotta figures except _.a. varied b. powerful c. monumental d. lifelike47. the underlined word “testament” in paragraph 2 means “_”.a. examination b. evidence c. symbol d. origin dthe second annual reel civil rights film festivalthe festival features documentaries （纪录片） and films related to the 1957 desegregation (废除种族隔离) crisis at central high school and the

about the prospect of africa” is inherently 16 percent african, or an amount of “someone who had a great-grandparent who was african”, according to a scientist who made the discovery.two months ago, dr. james watson, who helped crack the dna code decades ago, apologized for suggesting black people, over all, are not as intelligent as whites. he also resigned as chancellor of the cold spring harbor laboratory on long island. “there are many people of colour who are very talented,” he said. the comment, we now know, applied to 16 percent of him as well.he also tried to prevent any further talk from continuing by saying that “there is no scientific basis for such a belief”. still, a debate erupted online when a blogger arthur offered an academic defense of the claim that started the anger. critics are still piling on, with malcolm gladwell being the latest in this weeks new yorker.richard e. nisbett, a professor of psychology at the university of michigan, offered another thorough rebuttal in a new york times op-ed, “all brains are the same colour”.“the evidence heavily favours the view that race differences in iq are environmental in origin, not genetic,” he proposed.dr. watson set himself up for this ironic (讽刺的) moment by agreeing earlier this year to be the first person to publish his genetic code for all to study. but he wont be the last, as companies race to create relatively cost-effective ways to bring dna publishing to the masses. those who join dr. watson in complete dna openness may be wise to remember two lessons from this event: think before you speak, and also try to memorize all your own six billion letters of your genetic code.51. the nobel-winning geneticist in the passage refers to _.a. richard e. nisbettb. malcolm gladwellc. dr. james watsond. arthur52. the author thinks the geneticists comment about black people is _.a. humourousb. ironicc. convincingd. practical53. what does the underlined word “rebuttal” in the fifth
