name from a united states president.in 1902, president theodore “teddy” roosevelt took a trip to the american south to help work out a land disagreement between mississippi and louisiana. while there, the president went hunting for bear.days passed with no luck for the president, but lots of good luck for the bears. finally, his guides captured a bear and offered to let the president shoot it, so he wouldnt have to go home empty-handed. roosevelt flatly refused. he thought it would be unfair and cruel.when word of the presidents decision got out, a cartoonist for the washington star newspaper drew a picture of the bear and roosevelt holding up his hand to say “no.”the cartoon was seen all over the country, making the president, who was already popular, a hero.meanwhile, the owner of a small store in new york asked his wife to make a toy bear for sale. he displayed it in his window with a copy of the cartoon and a sign that said, “teddys bear.”that bear, and many others like it, sold big, especially after president roosevelt gave his official permission for his name to be used. finally, the letter “s ”was dropped and teddys bear became simply the teddy bear.so the bear that youve slept with is really a part of our countrys history.46.according to the text, what made theodore “teddy” roosevelt a hero?a.he was a good cartoonist b.he refused to shoot a captured bearc.he worked out a land disagreement d.he was named after a bear47.we can infer from the text that roosevelt was _.a.positive b.critical c.careful d.kind 48.according to the text,teddy bears became popular toys because _.a.they were named after the president b. bears were endangered animals at the timec.people liked the story of the president and the beard.people thought they could save a bear by buying one49.what is the main idea of this text?a.teddy bears are very popular toysb. the origin of teddy bearc.teddy bears have been around for many yearsd.the teddy bear is sold in many parts of the country50.how is this the text organized?a.events are given in the order they happened b.a series of causes and effects are listed c.a problem is presented ,followed by a solution d.events are presented in the order of their importance bpeople use their mouths for many things. they eat, talk, shout and sing. they smile and they kiss. in the english language, there are many expressions using the word mouth. but some of them are not so nice.for example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “ do not bad mouth me. ”sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that persons feelings. or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell.the speaker might say: “ i really put my foot in my mouth this time. ” if this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth . in other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.information is often spread through word of mouth.this is general communication between people, like friends talking to each other. “how did you hear about that new movie?” someone might ask. “oh, by word of mouth. ”sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. when this happens, the friend might say: “ you took the words right out of my mouth! ” sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. he might say that experience “ left a bad taste in my mouth. ” or the person might have had a very frightening experience, like being chased by an angry dog. he might say: “i had my heart in my mouth.”some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. there is an expression for this, too. you might say such a person, “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.”this rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth. this person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.parents might sometimes keep sweet food from a child as a form of punishment for saying bad things. for example, if a child says things she should not say to her parents, she might be described as a mouthy child. the parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off. 51.what does the text mainly talk about?a.expressions of american cultureb.best ways to learn english wellc.words that hurt peoples feelingd.some expressions with the word “mouth”52.by using “feel down in the mouth” ,one may refer to _.a.spreading the news among peopleb.having a bad or unpleasant experiencec.regretting saying the wrong thingd.saying the same thing someone is going to say53.“i had my heart in my mouth.”has the same meaning as “_”.a.i had a very unpleasant experience. b.i kept sweet food from a childc.i had gone through something scary d.i said things i should not say54.a person described as living from hand to mouth is usually _.a.brave b.poor c.rude d.clever55.we can infer from the text that _.a.english language is colorful b.”mouth” is the word most frequently usedc.expressions with “mouth” are of low opiniond.we can often use expressions with “mouth c long ago there lived a powerful king. some of his ideas were good , but others caused people to suffer . one of the kings ideas was to set up a public arena（竞技场）.when a person was accused of a crime , his future would be decided in this arena. it had two doors , side by side , exactly alike . the accused person was taken into the arena and asked to open one . behind one door was a hungry tiger , while behind the other was a lady chosen especially for him . to this lady he would be immediately married, in honor of his innocence.the king had a beautiful daughter whom he loved very much , and she secretly loved a young commoner（平民）.when the king discovered their relationship , the man was immediately put in prison, and a day was set for him to enter the arena.the princess knew behind which door stood the tiger, and behind which a lady. she also knew that the lady was one of the loveliest in the kingdom. the princess hated the woman behind that silent door.as he entered the arena and his eyes met the princesss, the young man knew that she knew behind which door waited the tiger, and behind which stood the lady. the princess raised her hand, and made a short, quick movement toward the right. no one but her lover saw it. every eye was fixed on him. he turned, and with a firm, quick step he walked across the empty space to the door on the right and opened it.now, the point of the story is this: did the tiger come out of that door, or did the lady? the more we think about this question, the harder it is to answer. it involves a study of the human heart. the soul of the princess loved the young man but also burned under the fires of sadness and jealousy（嫉妒）.the question of her decision cannot be easily answered. and so i leave it with all of you: which came out of the open door? the lady or the tiger?56. when a person was accused of a crime, his future would mainly depend on _.a. the princessb. luck c. the judges d. the viewers 57. the young man was in the arena because he _.a. had opposed the kings decisionb. had fallen in love with a lady the princess hatedc. loved two ladies during the same periodd. had fallen in love with the kings daughter58. from the passage we know that _.a. the princess stood behind the right doorb. the young man trusted the princess completelyc. the princess was not jealous of the ladyd. the young man chose the left door in the end59. what can we infer from the passage?a. the young man would survive.b. the lady behind the door would be killed.c. the princess would lose her lover regardless of what happened.d. the king knew what the result of the trial would be.60. which of the following is true about the princesss decision?a. the question of it is left open by the author.b. it has no influence on the life of the young man.c. it was never shown to the young man.d. it is hard to understand why she loved the young man. dit is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. it is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter.road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense（理智）too. it takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude drivingon the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fightinga friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. but such behaviors of politeness are by no means enoughmany drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see ithowever, misplaced politeness can also be dangeroustypical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in timethe same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.an experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. unfortunately, modern drivers cant even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship（公路驾车技能） . years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take（互让） from all road usersit is high time for all of us to take this message to heart61the passage mainly talks about .aroad politeness btraffic jams cgood manners d. modern drivers62troubles on the road are often caused by .atraffic jams bthe behavior of the driverscgreat speed dterrible road conditions63according to the writer, a good driver should .abeat back when forced to face rude drivingbbe able to recognize politeness when he sees itcenco
