or would you rather work?”tom said, “work? what do you mean work?”“isnt that work?”tom continued painting and answered carelessly, “maybe it is, and maybe it isnt. all i know is it suits tom sawyer.”“do you mean that you enjoy it?”“i dont see why i oughtnt to enjoy it.”“does a boy have a chance to paint a fence frequently” said tom.ben stopped munching his apple.tom moved his brush back and forthstepped back to note the effectadded a little paint here and there. ben watched every move, getting more and more interested, more and more absorbed. after a short time, he said, “tom, let me whitewash a little.”tom seemed to be thinking for a moment before he said, “no, aunt polly wants this fence to be perfect. if it was the back fence, maybe you could do it. but this fence beside the street is where everybody can see it. it has to be done right.”“oh, come on, let me try. ill be careful. listen, tom. ill give you part of my apple if you let me paint.”“no, ben, im afraid”“ill give you all the apple!”tom handed the brush to ben with unwillingness on his face but alacrity in his heart. while the riverboat worked and sweated in the hot sun, tom, an artist sat in the shade close by, munching his apple, and planning how he could trick more of the boys. before long there were enough boys each of whom came along the street; stopped to laugh but soon begged to be allowed to paint. by the middle of the afternoon, tom had got many treasures while the fence had had three layers of whitewash on it. if he hadnt run out of whitewash, he would have owned everything belonging to the boys in the village.tom said to himself that the world was not so depressing after all. he had discovered a great law of human action: in order to make a man cover a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain.56. by using “tom continued painting and answered carelessly”, the author showstom _ when he was talking to ben.a. made mistakes b. damaged things c. wasnt concentrating d. was natural57. the underlined word “alacrity” in the last but two paragraph most probably means “_”.a. kindness b. discouragementc. eagerness d. sympathy58. which of the following is true according to the passage? _a. tom did not want to go swimming at allb. tom did not get along well with his friendsc. tom was asked to help aunt polly paint the fenced. tom was very busy that saturday afternoon.59. we can draw a conclusion from the last paragraph that _.a. a friend in need is a friend indeed. b. forbidden fruit is sweet.c. all good things must come to an end. d. a bad excuse is better than none. bchinas government has been trying all measures to reduce pollution in the past few years. now people can enjoy a fresh environment everywhere. the following two graphs are adopted from the column of “city information” on the webpage of beijing review.graph 1: olympic cities air quality reportcitydateapimajorpollutantair qualitydegreequalityconditionbeijingsep. 837n/avery goodqinhuangdaosep. 852pm10goodqingdaosep. 868pm10goodshanghaisep. 867pm10goodshenyangsep. 888pm10goodtianjinsep. 854pm10goodgraph 2: chinese national standardapi valueslevels of health concerncolorswhen the api is in this range:.air quality conditions are:.as symbolized by this color:0 to 50very goodblue51 to 100goodgreen101 to 150slight pollutionyellow151 to 200moderate pollutionorange201 to 250medium pollutionred251 to 300high pollutionpurple301 to 500hazardousbrownnotes: *api stands for air pollution index(指数). *particulate matter (pm10) is a major component of air pollution that threatens both our health and our environment. it consists of very small liquid and solid particles floating in the air. *sulfur dioxide(so2) acts as an acidinhalation(吸入) results in labored breathing, coughing, or a sore throat and may cause permanent lung damage.60. according to graph 1, which of the following cities has the worst air pollution?a. qinhuangdao.b. shenyang. c. qingdao d. tianjin.61. if your city is symbolized by either red or purple, the pollution in your city is .a. moderate or high. b. moderate or slight. c. medium or high. d. medium or slight. 62. which of the following statements is ture?a. with api value below 150 the air is free from being polluted.b. the colors from purple to yellow indicate the air quality is becoming much worse.c. on september 8th the color-symbol of beijing citys air quality is blue.d. when there are floating solid particles and dust in the air, it is dangerous pollution.63. when more citizens are beginning to have labored breathing soon after they are in the open air, it suggests that .a. it is so cold that they may have caught a coldb. they are starting to cough or have a feverc. they must be infected with permanent lung diseased. there is a large amount of sulfur dioxide in the air cwhen i first got an e-mail account ten years ago, i received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. now it seems that every time i check my e-mail, i have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. if we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime. if lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. as more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual(个人的) e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?this problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. these computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.for these reasons, i believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. e-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.64.the underline word“prohibit” in the first paragraph probably means_a. avoid b. ban c. reduce d. hide65. according to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam? a. companies rely on e-mail for communications.b. more people in the world communicate by e-mail.c. many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.d. more advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.66. according to the passage, who is the final victim of spam? a. the business b. the consumer c. the advertiser d. the employee 67. what is the purpose of the text?a. to inform b. to educated. to persuade c. to instruct dpeople from east asia tend to have more difficulty than those from europe in distinguishing facial expressions and a new report published online in current biology explains why. rachael jack, university of glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as westerners do, easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
