Cycle China is _.A. a website which offers traveling informationB. a traveling agencyC. a trainer for skiing D. a resort which offers hot spring bathC Sitting is an art that isnt getting passed along. People these days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf, or taking courses to improve their minds or bodiesor they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isnt sitting it s watching. People used to sit a whole lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go down to the store and sit on the bench out front in the summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage (车库), there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tires and spare parts, you could kick back and sit. Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown-ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would sit and digest chicken and talk about Aunt Ethels illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the children would play, and the afternoon would pass by in a comfortable haze ( 悠闲的氛围 ). That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery (正充电的电池) doesnt look as if it s doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. If you want to enjoy a truly full life, dont just do somethingsit there.54. What message does the author try to get through to us？ A. People should make better use of their sitting room. B. People should spend less time watching TV. C. People should pass down their good habits. D. People should take things easy for their own good.55. We can learn from the second paragraph that _. A. people lived a more restful life in the past B. towns were built to make living convenient C. small town garages had a lot to offer D. people enjoyed going out for a drive56. The sitting room mentioned in the text used to be a place for_. A. eating food B. watching TV C. gathering together D. playing with children57. From the text we know the writer believes _. A. sitting has a good spiritual effect B. sitting helps people remember the past C. a sitting room may have different purposes D. a sitting room is important for the oldD Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised, “Barbara, be enthusiastic(热情的)! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience. ” How right they were! “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. ” wrote Ralph Waldo EmersonIt is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you cant!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didnt stop working on her experimentsWork was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with wide-eye, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped (弯曲的)shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, “Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a dime until I stopped working for money.”If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had trouble her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am tempted to call Layton a genius.”We cant afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow.58. The author holds the view that _A. enthusiastic people will never get oldB. enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy lifeC. enthusiasm is more important than experienceD. enthusiasm can give people more success and fame59. The author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that _A. music can arouse peoples enthusiasmB. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeedC. enthusiasm can make people feel youngD. enthusiasm can keep people healthy60. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph?A. Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult timesB. If you dont have enthusiasm, you can achieve nothingC. Enthusiastic people seldom consider money and fameD. Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honor第 II 卷四. 选词填空: (共10小题, 10分)用方框中短语的恰当形式完成句子。 depend on block out play tricks on settle downturn upstare at have a gift fortake place account for go ahead as for cut down1.
