Everybody would get along no matter what their social or financial standing(地位) is. However, there is no such thing as a perfect world, only a world filled with prejudice(偏见) and anger. The theme of Great Expectations shows that social class and a lot of money are worth less than love, and family.A high social standing and money do not provide the necessities of a happy life. Great Expectations shows that people of a high social class are only popular among themselves. The reason for this is that to keep their social standing, they are not to have relationships with lower class people. If it is found that they do accept these people as part of society, they are their friends. Similarly, money does not provide a happy future. Money can only buy materials. For a truly happy life, one must have healthy relationships, like that of Joe and Biddy. A person with money and no social skills will often become depressed due to their lack of relationships.Even the poorest person can lead a richer life than the wealthiest man in the world. Happiness comes easy to a happy family that gets along. Money isnt needed for a fun time, either. A poor family can entertain each other with good conversation. Low class people get along with a variety of people. Life is much easier socially for a person who is not concerned about what others think of them.The message that social classes and money are worth less than love and family is important to remember in everyday life. The central theme of Great Expectations is not simple. It sends a good message to readers.25. What does the writer think of the present world?A. There arent many social differences. B. Its not perfect at all.C. People get along quite well. D. Money is nothing compared with love.26. Why are Joe and Biddy mentioned in the passage?A. They belong to a high social class. B. They dont keep their social standing.C. Their friends are all lower class people. D. Their relationship is healthy enough.27. The underlined word“depressed”probably means“ ”.A. excited B. surprised C. disappointed D. frightened28. The main purpose of this passage is to_ .A. call on people to value love and familyB. show how difficult it is to be successfulC. encourage people to work for their dreamsD. prove social differences are hard to solveCThis year some twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with Georges family. In turn, Georges son Mike spent a year in Freds home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The fathers word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”29. The whole exchange program is mainly to _.A. help teenagers in other countries know the real AmericaB. let students learn something about other countriesC. send students in America to travel in GermanyD. have teenagers learn new languages30. According to the passage, we can infer that _.A. German schools were not as hard as American schoolsB. Both of them disliked their own countrys educational modelC. there was some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsD. a better education should include something good from both America and Germany31. Whats the writers attitude in writing this passage?A. ObjectiveB. Persuasive C. Subjective D. DefensiveDThe young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didnt have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where its not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “Whats up?” I asked him.“II dont have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir.” he said. “Thank you very much!”When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if hes a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didnt know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.“Oh, gosh! Long time.”“Are you in school now?” I asked.He nodded.“Thats good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “Whats wrong?” I asked. “Its a gift.”He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “Ive been waiting to give these to you.”32. What was the authors first impression of the boy?A. He seemed to be poor and greedy.B. He seemed to have suffered a lot.C. He seemed younger than his age.D. He seemed good at bargaining.33. The second time the author met the boy, the boy _.A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nutsB. wanted to express his thanksC. asked him for money for his schoolbooksD. tried to take advantage of him34. Why did the author give his money to the boy?A. Because he had enough money to do that.B. Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.C. Because he held a higher position in the society.D. Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.35. Which of the following best describes the boy?A. Brave and polite. B. Kind and smart.C. Honest and thankful. D. Shy and nervous.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。Self-confident people face their fears head-on and they know no matter what obstacles come their way, they have their ability to get past them.
