Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques. I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round peoples wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves. Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout tire time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings. However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour- glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past. Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?41. According to the passage, collecting antique clocks_.A. can hardly keep the value of your savings B. will cost much of your savingsC. may increase your wealth D. needs your bravery42. By quoting (引用) the remark of a being from another planet, the author intends to_.A. suggest human beings are controlled by a clockB. describe why clocks can rule the planet EarthC. tell readers what clocks look likeD. compare chicks to human beings43. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?A. Counting the beating of ones own heart.B. Making use of candles, sand and water.C. Observing shadows cast by the sun.D. Keeping slaves busy day and night.44. The underlined phrase stately homes in paragraph 4 meansA. state-owned housesB. houses in very good conditionC. grand houses open to the publicD. houses where statesmen meet regularly45. The purpose of the passage isA. to introduce the culture of antique clocksB. to offer some advice on collecting antique clocksC. to compare different ways to make a future profitD. to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling time【答案与解析】41. C 这是一道细节题。根据第一段中的“Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past.Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks,which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.”可判断出收藏古代的钟表可以致富。42. A 这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段中的“Men can do nothing without its permission,and it fastens its young peoples wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control.”可判断出作者暗示人类使钟表的控制。it指的是钟表。43. D 这是一道正误判断题。第三段中的“Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts.”和第四段中的“They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun.They marked the hours on candles,used sand in hour-glasses,and invented water-clocks.”可判断出人们曾经通过数自己的心跳、使用蜡烛、沙子和水和观察太阳的阴影来计算时间，但没有讲使奴隶整日整夜地忙碌，所以选项D是错误的。44. C 这是一道猜义题。根据这句话中的palaces和museums可判断出stately homes指的是向公众开放的巨大的房子。45. B 这是一道主旨题。这篇短文的第一段说明收藏古代的钟表可以致富。在最后一段，作者又对收藏古代的钟表的问题进行了讨论，最后以“After all,if you are going to be ruled by time,why not invest in an antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?”结束，说明这篇短文的目的是对收藏古代的钟表提供一些建议。 B Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as honor help you create this life of good feelings. Heres an example to show how honorable actions create happiness. Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerks mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul. Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness? In the first case, where we dont tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot lie trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerks attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility. There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And its easy to think and act honorably again when were happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once its started, its easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.46. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to ourA. self-respect B. financial rewards C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship47. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to_.A. lying B. stealing C. cheating D. advertising48. The phrase bringing the error to the clerks attention (in para. 5) means_.A. telling the truth to the clerk B. offering advice to the clerkC. asking the clerk to be more attentive D. reminding the clerk of the charged item49. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?A. Well be very excited. B. Well feel unfortunate.C. Well have a sense of honor. D. Well feel sorry for the clerk.50. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage.*A. How to Live Truthfully B. Importance of PeacefulnessC. Ways of Gaining Self-respect D. Happiness through Honorable Actions【答案与解析】46. A 这是一道细节推断题。根据第五段中的“Upon leaving the store,we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased.”可判断出积极的行为可以增强我们的自尊心。 47. B 这是一道细节题。根据第五段中的“In the first case,when we dont tell the clerk,a couple of things would happen.Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief.”可判断出作者认为如果对没有付款的东西保持沉默，是一种盗窃行为。48. A 这是一道猜义题。根据第五段中的“Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable.”可判断出bringing the error to the clerks attention意思是“告诉售货员真相”。49. C 这是一道细节推断题。根据第五段中的“Upon leaving the store,we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased.”可判断出如果我们让售货员知道了她的错误，我们会有一种诚实的感觉。50. D 这是一道标题选择题。作者在这篇短文的第一段点明了主题：The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings.并在下文中举例说明了这个主题。所以短文的最好的题目是Happiness through Honorable Actions。C Malaria, the worlds most widespread parasitic(寄生虫引起的) disease, kills as many as three million people every yearalmost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people dont (or cant) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long. Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect (感染). They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesnt kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infect
