Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks(不足处) of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.24. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to.A. show great respect for the ancient thinkerB. provide some key facts about ConfuciusC. attract the readers interest in the subjectD. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations25. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students.A. have a great interest in studying ChineseB. try to get high scores in Chinese examsC. take an active part in Chinese competitionsD. fight for a chance to learn Chinese26. What is the best title for the passage?A. Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB. Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC. Old Thinker with a Big Future D. Chinese Culture for Westerners27. The passage is likely to appear in.A. a scientific report B. a newspaperC. a history paper D. a philosophy textbookCThe memory of your first whale (鲸) will be forever fresh. The impact it makes upon you is huge and life is never quite the same again. My first whale was a 40ft grey, off the coast of California in 1979, and Ive been a whale addict ever since. Now I have to go whale watching regularly just to survive normal daily life.I may be crazy but I am certainly not alone. The world is filled with whale watchers: since its beginnings in the mid-fifties, whale watching has grown dramatically and now more than 13 million people join organized whale watching trips every year.As a faithful whale watcher, all your holidays center on whales. The only books you read are ones about whales; you wear whale T-shirts, and every time you meet your friends you talk about whales.So what is it about these larger-than-life animals that makes them so special? Their huge size is one possible explanation: imagine sitting in a small boat next to a blue whale almost as long as a Boeing 737.The fact that we know so little about them is another possibility: modern technology has taken us to the moon and beyond, yet we are only just beginning to understand these extraordinary forms of intelligent life on our own planet.Planning and patience are just two essential requirements for successful whale watching. Planning is needed because there are certain whale hot spotswhere you have the best chance of seeing themand because the larger species tend to be on their way from feeding areas to breeding (繁殖) grounds, so rarely do they stay in one place for more than a few months at a time.Patience is necessary because, even under the best conditions, whales can be tricky to find. However, most commercial whale watching trips have a surprisingly high success rate because they tend to concentrate on well-known whale populations at peak (最高的) seasons.28. What is the impact of the authors first whale in his life?A. He has been crazy ever since.B. He cant have a normal daily life.C. He has fallen in love with whale watching.D. He has organized watching trips every year.29. What will a faithful whale watcher do usually?A. Take part in whale forums.B. Wear only whale-themed clothes.C. Join an organization for whale watching every month.D. Pay much attention to whales in the holidays.30. Why is patience necessary in whale watching?A. Because it is very difficult to find these clever whales.B. Because whales are on their way to breeding grounds.C. Because the watching conditions are not always good.D. Because they have huge size as big as a Boeing plane.31. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Tips on Whale Watching B. Memories of Whale WatchingC. Whales Are Intelligent AnimalsD. Essential Requirements for Whale WatchingDMany people believe that paper started with the ancient Egyptians. However, this is not exactly true. Instead, 5,000 years ago, Egyptians used a material called papyrus (纸莎草纸），which was made from the stems (茎) of river plants. They put these flat pieces together to create a larger flat sheet (簿片), on which Ancient Egyptians wrote like paper.But the paper we know today did not exist until 3,000 years later. It was created in China. No one knows who first invented paper. But history does tell us about one man who improved the process. It was in the year 105. A man named Cai Lun began to use many materials to make paper. He took the outer coveting of a tree, pieces of net and cloth, broke these materials down into very small pieces and mixed them with water. Then he pressed out the water, and all that was left was a thin sheet of paper.Paper quickly spread to other areas of the world. In the Middle East, people made paper thicker and also made it easier to produce quickly. From the Middle East, paper traveled to Europe and then the Americas. For many years paper cost a lot of money and time to create. But in the 19th century, people began to create paper from wood.Paper changed the way people lived. Long ago, when paper was difficult to make, people only used paper for special purposes. Government officials would write important laws on it. Explorers drew maps of the world on it. But common people did not use it. As paper became easier to make, it was used for more things. People wrapped ( 包裹) it around gifts. Paper was also used as money. Today people use paper for even more things.32. According to the text, papyrus _ .A. was made from clothB. has a longer history than paperC. is difficult to produce D. was introduced to Egypt from China33. Paragraph 2 is mainly about .A. how Cai Lun improved paper B. the long history of paper in ChinaC. why Cai Lun wanted to make paper D. the invention of the first piece of paper34. Whats the spreading route of paper? A. Asia the Americas Europe the Middle EastB. Asia Europe the Middle East the AmericasC. Asia the Middle East Europe the AmericasD. Asia the Middle East the Americas Europe35. When it was first invented, paper .A. could only be used by government officials B. was expensive and difficult to makeC. was sent to others as a gift D. was too thick to write on第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文中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。Picture this: You go to a store to buy food for a party. But when you get to the cash register (收银机) there are no plastic bags for the things you buy.36 That city has banned (禁止) most plastic shopping bags from stores.Many cities and towns around the United States may ban plastic bags. They hope that shoppers wont use paper bags either. 37 .But many people dont want to buy their own cloth bags. They say they wouldnt buy as much if they couldnt get a free bag.

We had a lively discussion. At its end the professor suggested 41 us.The old professor started with the following question, “Suppose you are going to 42 two trees; one of the trees has a big trunk (树干) 43 the other s small. Which do you want to cut down first? ” The question touched off(引发) a 44 reply, “Of course the big one! No need to consider.”The professor smiled, “The big tree is a poplar (杨树) 45 seen everywhere, while the small one is a Korean pine (红松). Would you like to consider 46 which to cut down?” A second thought brought us more 47 : a Korean pine is much more 48 than the poplar. Then we 49 our decision, “Naturally we ll cut down the pine. The poplar isnt worth the effort.”The 50 still remained on the professors face. He said again, “The pines trunk is much less straight than the poplar. 51 this before you make the final decision.” Rather 52 , we hesitated, then said, “ If thats the case, wed better cut down the poplar. As the pine is twisted (变曲的), it wont be that 53 . ”The professor gave more details. “But on top of the poplar theres a nest, in which several young birds were nesting. Would you like to cut it down?” Eventually one of us lost his 54 and stood up. Instead of 55 the professor he put a question to him, “ Professor, you have asked a series of questions that led us to change our answers 56 , one moment to cut down the pine, another moment to cut down the poplar. What do you want to test after all?”The professors smile 57 . He said seriously, “Why none of you put a 58 to yourself in the beginning: for what purpose to cut down the tree? Though my questions vary all the way, they are 59 by one thing: your 60 to take the action. If the aim is to make handicraft articles you have to cut down the pine; if you just want to have some firewood, youd better cut down the poplar.”41. A. calling B. testing C. teaching D. helping42.
