shopkeeper cut down its price very much, he left without further talking. collecting a half dozen of his friends, he explained his wish to them and they worked a plan. the first would enter the shop and make an offer, lower than the marked price. not getting the vase at his price, he would walk out. shortly after another would enter and ask for a price lower than the first. in this way, each of the others would offer a price lower than the one before, and the last of his friends made a great effort to attempt to get it at the lowest price. before long balzac himself would return, offer more than the last two or three persons made and trust to luck. the plan worked- balzac got the vase at his price!28. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. a vase in the window was placed much higher than balzac could reach.b. at first the price of the vase was much higher than balzac could offer.c. balzac always wanted to buy a vase that was much more expensive than he could payd. balzac was very poor. he couldnt buy the vase at a high price.29. how many friends did balzac gather?a. six b. twelve c. ten d. five30. who asked for the lowest price?a. the first one. b. the second one.c. the last of his friends. d. balzac.31. what kind of person does the writer try to tell us about balzac and his friends?a. unkind b. dishonest c. selfish d. cleverda telescope (望远镜), called gaia, is being designed by astronomers in europe, and it couldnt be more different from pan-starrs, which is another telescope being designed. while pan-starrs will be looking for asteroids (小行星) and comets headed for earth, gaia will be looking at our entire galaxy (银河系). gaia is designed to draw a map of the milky way, our home galaxy. just as a map of your town gives you a picture of where things are located, gaias map of the galaxy will tell astronomers where the stars are. over five years, gaia will observe (观察) about a billion stars and other objects in our galaxy. each object will be observed about 70 times. gaia will be sent into space connected to a rocket. it contains two telescopes, each focused at a different angle (角度). these two telescopes act like gaias “eyes”. the reason why humans can see things in 3d is that we have two eyes focused on the same object, at slightly different angles. by using two telescopes like eyes, gaia can produce the first 3d map of the positions of the stars it views. gaia, which is to be sent into space in 2011, will be a powerful telescope. if you were to use it on earth, for example, you could stand 600 miles away from your best friends and still get a clear picture of their hair. gaia is one of more than a dozen telescopes being designed by scientists right now. the next generation of telescopes will reveal new parts of our universe that will seem surprising. the universe, with all its planets, stars and other strange objects, is a puzzle with pieces that we can see by using powerful telescopes. 32. how many different angles can gaia focus at each time?a. 2.b. 3.c. 4.d. 5.33. the map to be drawn by gaia _.a. can show every building on earthb. can show you where your town isc. will just show the stars around earthd. will show where the stars are in our home galaxy34. whats paragraph 4 mainly about?a. what gaia will do in space.b. when gaia will start to work.c. how powerful gaia will be.d. what gaia will do to earth.35. the underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that the next generation of telescopes _.a. seem very surprising to scientists b. will not be put into use in a short timec. will just look at new things in universe d. will be more powerful than the old generations 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分， 满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。planning before buying something is a good idea. for
