Not that I didnt know the language, but to improve my command over the language, I joined English academic classes close to my house. In one class, the instructor gave us a sheet of a hundred words and told us to write the opposite of each word as homework. At home I sat with that page. Though I could manage the easy words quickly, for certain words I had to take the help of the dictionary.Feeling relaxed and like an achiever, my new found enthusiasm forced me to explore some more words. Exploring the dictionary, for every word I found the opposite word (except all forms of nouns).The entire night went on exploring words, but the night was not enough to complete the dictionary. I had enough time to hand in my homework, so the next day, after work once again I sat in through the night and started exploring opposite words from the dictionary.The exercise was easy, but suddenly something struck my mind. Instead of finding the words which have opposite words, I should look for words that do NOT have any opposite word. After going through sleepless nights that week, I could not find a single word which doesnt have an opposite word.This amazed me and forced me to conclude that without the opposite word the original word doesnt have its real meaning or value. In other words, every word is incomplete without its opposite. The conclusion forced me to think differently. Although many questions remained unanswered in my mind, the one thing I concluded was that these words are created by humans and every human possesses two qualities within himself, positive and negative. Similarly he created words with opposites. This proves that whatever we welcome in our life, we will also be welcoming the opposite of it. And at the end of the day we will complain about the negative forces surrounding us, making us weak, dull, pessimistic(悲观) and so on.Isnt this strange?21.The author finished his first homework .A. at the first attemptB. with great easeC. with the help of a dictionaryD. with the aid of the instructor22. What led the author to his further exploration of words?A. The pressure of homework.B. The deep interest in word formation.C. A sense of achievement.D. The encouragement of instructors.23. Which of the following idioms may the author agree more with?A. Every coin has two sides.B. Easier said than done.C. All roads lead to Rome.D. Kill two birds with one stone.BPeople have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.About 5,000 years ago the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like the modern comic strip (连环漫画) stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign or letter represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letter of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.These days, we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawings, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.24.Ancient people in France and Spain painted pictures on walls of caves because .A. they loved animalsB. they enjoyed seeing picturesC. perhaps they thought pictures helpfulD. they preferred painting pictures to telling stories25.From this passage we know that .A. Egypt is well-known for their comic-strip storiesB. the Roman alphabet was developed from the Egyptian alphabetC. the Egyptian signs made a particular alphabet come into beingD. people in other parts of the world copied their writing system from the Egyptians26.In the last paragraph, the author thinks that pictures .A. should be made comprehensibleB. should be made interestingC. are of much use in our lifeD. are disappearing from our life27.The possible title of this article may be .A. Home of the Comic-Strip StoriesB. The Best Way of WritingC. Pictures and WritingD. The Earliest Language in the WorldCSome people succeed in unbelievable ways.Roussel was orphaned at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing his favorite songs on the piano.Three years later, Roussels grandfather died, and his aunt adopted him. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take regular piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside resort added a second love to his lifethe sea. He studied to be a naval cadet (海军学员),but still made time to study music.In the French Navy, while he served on a warship based at Cherbourg, he and two friends found the time to play the music of Beethoven and other composers (作曲家).

When Roussels friend returned with the manuscript(手稿),he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.Not long afterwards, at the age of 25, Roussel did just that. He applied characters that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth century French music. As for Edouard Colonnes inspiring advice that Roussel devote his life to music, Roussels navy friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he had never even shown Roussels manuscript to the conductor.28.Which of the following shows the right order of the story?a.
