in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.“get that all swept up!” the headmaster would tell us. “i want the whole place cleaned up, at once!” there was enough work there, to last over a week. especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, our nails. “now see that its done properly, and be quick about it,” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or youll have to answer for it!”so at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. if the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. in order to avoid these blows, we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meal. and if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. if we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows were redoubled. they hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped not so much to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. he would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very smallnothing compared to what they had done to us. and the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve in the slightest. perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on, but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; i dont know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but i can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beating were completely foreign to our nature.46. the statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (para.1) means that_. a. the authors hands were severely injured in the cleaning up b. the author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning up c. the author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning up d. the authors hands were his only tool for the cleaning47. the headmaster would tell the students to clean up the school yard at the beginning of the term because_. a. he was too lazy b. there were many fallen leaves on the ground c. the school yard were covered with mud d. the students didnt finish their homework48. the headmaster asked the older boys to_. a. beat those who worked slowly b. treat the small boys as peanuts c. take charge of the process of the cleaning d. do the cleaning all by themselvesbyears ago a farmer owned land along the atlantic. he constantly advertised for hired hands. most people were not willing to work on farms along the atlantic because they worried about the terrible storms that destroy buildings and crops. the farmer received a steady stream of refusals at the interview for a farmhandfinally, a short, thin man approached the farmer. “are you a good farmhand?” the farmer asked him.“well, i can sleep when the wind blows. ” answered the little man.although puzzled by this answer ，the farmer, desperate for help, hired him. the little man worked well around the farm ，busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the mans work.then one night the wind howled loudly from offshore. jumping out of bed，the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hands sleeping quarters. he shook the little man and yelled， “ get up! a storm is coming! tie things down before they are blown away! ”the little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “no sir. i told you, i can sleep when the wind blows. ”enraged (激怒）by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot ,instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. to his amazement，he discovered that all of the hay had been covered. the cows were in the bam，the chickens were in the coops，and the doors were barred the shutters were tightly secured. everything was tied down, nothing could be blown away.the farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he also returned to his bed to sleep while the wind was still blowing.49. why did the farmer constantly advertise for hired hands? abecause he needed hired hands all. the year round.bbecause there was too much work to do on the farm.cbecause he could hardly hire a farmhand.dbecause he offered poor conditions for the hired hands.50. the farmer felt amazed because _ athe little man was sleepingbeverything was in safetycthe wind was too strongdhe could not open the doors51. what did the man mean by saying “i can sleep when the wind blows. ” ? ahe needed much sleep after working hard on the farm.bhe was very brave and not afraid of windche enjoyed sleeping when the wind blew.dhe would get everything done before the wind blew.52. which of the following statements about the little man is true? ahe was not afraid of storms.bhe was a heavy sleeper under any conditionche was hard-working and devoted to his work.dhe was fired shortly after he tied everything down.cas apple tries to maintain its growth and success in china, the worlds largest smart-phone market is becoming even more critical. apples shares(股份) fell sharply as the companys earnings for the holiday quarter through december disappointed investors.the sales of the iphone, which include both the iphone 5 and older models, came in at the low end of analysts expectations, while the companys income plan for the second quarter was below analysts forecasts, though apple is known to give conservative (保守的) forecasts.som6 analysts have said that for apple to regain its growth, the company.needs a more aggressive strategy for markets, or more specifically for china, where the market for smart phones has been expanding more rapidly than anywhere else. in china, demand is particularly great for inexpensive phones that run on android(安卓) operating system, sold by many chinese phone makers as well as south koreas samsung electronics co.but apple says its already enjoying strong growth in china. we saw big growth in iphones,chief executive tim cook said. he said that the company has been quickly expanding its sales channels in china, including the number of apple stores. this isnt nearly what we need, were not even close to that, but were making great progress. he said.in china, a big missing piece for apple is china mobile ltd. , the biggest local telecom carrier that doesnt yet sell the iphone. earlier this month, mr. cook met china mobile chairman xi guohua in beijing and discussed cooperation, stirring hopes that the worlds largest mobile carrier may soon start offering the iphone.earlier this month, the wall street journal reported that apple is working on a lower-end iphone that could launch as early as this year. but one possible challenge for apple in china is that low-pricod android-based phones are getting better in terms of quality. a report from clsa in late november showed that many smart-phones sold at about 1,000 yuan ( $160) came with higher-reso-lution screens, better cameras and more powerful processors than phones at that price did a year earlier.53. apples shares dropped sharply because in december_ athe iphone wasnt popular in chinabits product quality was widely criticizedcthe earnings for the holiday quarter was disappointingdthe investors were not satisfied with apples management54. what can we learn from the passage? aapple tends to offer a lower sales forecast.bchina mobile ltd began to team up with apple.ccook is pessimistic about what apple did in china.dapple didnt take measures to develop chinese market.55. the author uses the report from clsa to prove_.atheir prices are actually lower than a year earlierbapple in china has ability to deal with any problemclow-ended android-based phones are progressing fastdthe promotion of lower-end iphone will face a challenge56. the main purpose of the passage is to show the readers _ aapple.s high popularity in chinabthe challenge apple faces in chinacthe approaching failure apple will suffer in chinadapples aggressive strategy in its market expansiondexperts say the temperature in eyjafjallajokulls hole appears to have fallen to 100c, meaning it is now producing steam, not magma（岩浆）.but officials warned that it was too early to say whether the eruption was over completely.ash clouds from the volcano grounded thousands of flights last month.steinunn jakobsdottir, a geophysicist from the icelandic meteorological office, told the bbc that the volcano was kind of not active for the moment.the history of the volcano is such that it calms down and then it gets energy again, she said.there are still earthquakes under the volcano, and the small earthquake is still not quite down to what it was before the eruption.difficult to saymagnus gudmundsson, of iceland university, flew over the volcano on sunday and said information from heat cameras showed the temperatures at the crater had fallen below 100c.but he told the afp news agency that nothing was promised and that the previous eruption at the volcano had lasted 13 months, from 1821-23.it stopped and started again several times with different intervals（间隔）, so its difficult to say, difficult to give a timeline, he said.he also said it was impossible to say whether the neighbouring katla volcano - a much larger mountain - might also erupt.at the height of its activity, the volcano sent out huge clouds of ash, which led to airlines grounding their planes for fear it could interfere with plane engines.it was the biggest action of closing airspace in europe since world war ii, and affected at least 10 million passengers worldwide.57. what do expert think eyjafjallajokull is like now? amagma is still coming outbthe hole appears about 100 degrees ccthe eruption was not overdit is very cold.58. how do expects know the temperature in eyjafjallajokulls
