阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。athroughout the novel lord of the flies, the boys on the island were always faced with various fears. however, there is nothing on the island which they feared more than the beast. in lord of the flies, the beast refers to the way in which a person will try to make himself believe that there is no evil (邪恶) inside himself by making someone or something else seem to be the cause for the evil. there is much evidence to support this throughout the book, but first it is necessary to show you the rise of the beast and evil within the boys. danger appeared on the very first day on the island when a little boy told everyone of a “beastie”, which he clearly saw the night before. the older boys said it was his imagination, but it was clear that the younger boys were troubled by the little boys words. it must be made clear at this point that he actually didnt see the beast. it is clear that the author golding uses the early parts of the book to show the boys fear of the beast. soon it became clear that even the older boys began to wonder whether in fact some kind of beast did come to the island. it was also clear that nobody was willing to admit this, but actually many boys now had terrible dreams and cried out in their sleep. it is further evidence that they were all afraid of the beast. the first signs of evil appearing in the boys came when jack and his hunters killed a pig and wanted to kill more. as jacks ambition (雄心) to kill a pig had been achieved, he now had a taste of glory (光荣). this means that he was by no means satisfied to have killed one pig, but would continue to do so. it is very important that jack felt it was necessary to kill more pigs though there was already an enough supply of food on the island. it is possible that jack simply wanted to kill more pigs because the evil inside him had begun to appear and forced him to kill more. another important event happened at this point violence among the boys. when jack wanted to set fire on a passing ship, piggy and ralph came up and stopped jack. he immediately beat piggy, whom he clearly looked down on, and broke his glasses. to some degree this further shows how the evil inside jack was beginning to take control of him. 41. the passage is probably taken from a(n) .a. news story b. book review c. ad d. diary 42. whats the boys reaction to the “beastie” at first?a. the younger boys couldnt keep calm. b. the older boys felt very frightened.c. all of the boys wanted to kill it. d. all of the boys laughed at it.43. why did many boys cry out in their sleep? a. because they were afraid of jack.b. because they suffered too much violence.c. because they were afraid of the beast.d. because they feared to live on the island.44. jack wanted to kill more pigs because .a. he wanted to get more food for othersb. he wanted to make himself satisfied c. the pigs did great harm to him and the islanders d. the pigs brought too much damage to the crops45. the writer mentioned two stories about jack in order to show that .a. jack was beginning to take control of the beastb. jack was the bravest boy of all the boysc. some boys werent afraid of the beast at alld. there was evil living in the heart of jackbblake was short of money, but he always thought that it was not his fault. as he sat writing in his room, part of his mind was busily occupied (占据) wondering when his luck was going to come.it was his room only if he paid the rent. two friends, one a little frenchman and the other a big dane, shared the room with him, both hoping to contribute a little to the rent, but it was impossible then. they had two beds only. the third was a mattress (垫子) they slept upon in turn, a week at a time. they ate potatoes most of the time, and sometimes eggs. sometimes, they ate a little rice and drank some hot water, and then made a wild race for bed while the sense of false fullness was still there. fortunately all new york houses were supplied with hot air.in the daytime blake was a reporter of an evening newspaper. his work was chiefly in the police courts, and in his spare hours at night, when not too tired or too hungry, he wrote stories for the magazines.on this particular night, as blake sat writing by the only window, the dane and the frenchman were in wonderful luck. they had both been asked out to a restaurant to dine with a friend who supplied one of them with a chance of work. blake looked forward to a supper. his thoughts kept wandering to food, friends and his “luck”. his thoughts ran on far ahead, and far behind as well. his home in the hometown rose up before him. he saw the lawn and the trees in sunshine. he looked through the familiar windows and saw the clean, swept rooms. there came a gentle knock at the door, and blake stood up. the door opened, and blake saw a man without a full face. he carried a small black bag. blake gave him a good look and came to the conclusion that he might be a mysterious man. the man began to speak in a quiet and respectful voice.“are you mr. arthur blake?” he asked.“yes.”the man opened the bag and took out many us dollar bills. “there are ten thousand dollars here,” said the man quietly. “and they are for you. the money is sent to you because you are in need of it,” said the man. “and it is a present without conditions of any sort. the money will never be asked of you again.”blake said in surprise, “ten thousand dollars!” he felt quite silly with excitement. was it not a dream? he could not believe his eyes or his ears. he began to count the money. at the same time a voice of thunder cried in his ear, “heres the supper, as well as a piece of good news.”blake opened the eyes and saw the dane, very red in the face, standing beside him, and a little further back he saw the frenchman, a bottle of beer in one hand and a paper package in the other.46. what can we learn from the first paragraph?a. blake seldom made mistakes.b. blake had no money at all.c. blake always dreamed of good luck.d. blake always turned to others for help.47. according to paragraph 2, blake and his roommates .a. struggled for bed every nightb. lived in a very cold housec. shared the rent of

and activities to help improve the environment, both locally and nationally.at oliver street school, in newark, new jersey, earth day celebrations began early this year. in march, a group of students from a 6th- to 8th-grade stem (science, technology, engineering, and math) class won the samsungs solve for tomorrow contest for creating a device (装置) to help reduce water pollution. after presenting their creation to the judges, the class was awarded more than $140,000 in samsung technology for their school. “it was unbelievable,” said douglas petty, principal of oliver street school. “i am really proud of these students.”the samsungs solve for tomorrow contest began in 2009. the competition aims to encourage american students to do something for the environment. each year, the contest has a different theme or challenge. this year, students were asked to develop a solution to a problem using the values of stem. “students are judged on how they use stem values to find creative ways to reduce pollution,” said ann woo, director of corporate citizenship at samsung electronics america, “the contest gets students thinking about how they can improve the world around them.” the students in james intrabartolos stem class decided to find a solution to a problem right outside their front door. “the first thing you need to do is look at a problem in your community,” said luis desouza, an eighth-grader in intrabartolos class. “what may seem like a small change can have a big influence.” after noticing rubbish collecting in a sewer (阴沟) near the school, the students were inspired to create a drain (下水道) cover that stops rubbish from entering the waterways that lead to the passaic river. the cover is a wooden panel (嵌板) attached to a large metal box. the students cut large holes into the top of the wooden panel, which was laid over the sewer. when rubbish collects in the sewer, it falls through the holes and into the box, rather than into the waterways. “we wanted to create something simple but practical,” said seventh-grader gabriel margaca. in the competition, the students showed their creation with a video mapping out how they created the drain cover. the students explained how they found a real-life problem without having to go far from home, and then found a way to solve it. oliver street school was among the five winners in the competition, taking home the grand prize of new technology for the school.the students hope that their creation is put to use in other communities to help reduce water pollution nationwide.52. at oliver street school .

worried eye to the uk chancellors budget for fear that the annual tax gathering round will strike another blow to a traditional industry already reeling (蹒跚). thousands of pubs have closed since the financial crash in 2007. the plough, which was once a coaching house for travelers, has been serving britains famous warm beer since the days of shakespeare. now it is under threat too. “yeah. so many pubs have been closed over the last few years even in this area,” said derek oneil, the manager of the plough pub.many reasons are the causea ban on smoking in public, severe laws against drinking and driving and high taxes have all combined to kill off nearly 10,000 pubs in the last seven years, according to the british beer and pub association. with the closures, pubs are being redeveloped. many have turned into supermarkets, where the beer is sometimes cheaper.britains pubs continue to play an important part in the uk economy, selling thousand
