    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Hans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. Living alone, every day he worked in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. All sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flower’s place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell.

    　 Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller. So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans that he’d never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend.

    　 The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship.

    　 In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see him then.

    　 “There’s no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts.” The Miller said to his wife, “When people are in trouble they shouldn’t be bothered. So I’ll wait till the spring comes when he’s happy to give me flowers.”

    　 “You’re certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “It’s quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.”

    　 “Couldn’t we ask Hans up here?” said their son. “I’ll give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits.”

    　 “How silly you are!” cried the Miller. “I really don’t know what’s the use of sending you to school. If Hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybody’s nature. I am his best friend, and I’ll always watch over him, and see that he’s not led into any temptation. Besides, if Hans came here, he might ask me for some flour. Flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldn’t be confused. The words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things. Everybody can see that.” He looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tea.

    　 Spring coming, the Miller went down to see Hans. Again he talked about friendship. “Hans, friendship never forgets. I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life. See, how lovely your roses are!”

    　 Hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard time of the winter.

    　 “I’ll give you many good things. I think being generous is the base of friendship.” said the Miller. “And now, as I’ll give you many good things, I’m sure you’d like to give me some flowers in return. Here’s the basket, and fill it quite full.”

    　 Poor Hans was afraid to say anything. He ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the Miller’s basket, imagining the many good things promised by the Miller.

    　 The next day he heard the Miller calling: “Hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?”

    　 “I’m sorry, but I am really very busy today.”

    　 “Well,” said the Miller, “considering that I’m going to give you my things, it’s rather unfriendly of you to refuse. Upon my word, you mustn’t mind my speaking quite plainly to you.”

    　 Poor Hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted.

    　 One evening Hans was sitting by fire when the Miller came.

    　 “Hans,” cried the Miller, “My little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and I’m going for the Doctor. But he lives so far away, and it’s such a bad windy night. It has just occurred to me that you can go instead of me. You know I’m going to give you my good things, so you should do something for me in return.”

    　 “Certainly,” cried Hans. He struggled into the stormy night, and got the doctor to ride a horse to the Miller’s house in time to save the boy. However, Hans got lost in the darkness, and wandered off into a deep pool, drowned.

    　 At Hans’ funeral, the Miller said, “I was his best friend. I should walk at the head of the procession.” Every now and then he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.

    66. From the passage, we can learn that Hans ___________.

    　 A. was extremely wise and noble

    B. was highly valued by the Miller

    　 C. admired the Miller very much

    D. had a strong desire for fortune

    67. “Flour is one thing, and friendship is another” can be understood as ___________.

    　 A. “Different words may mean quite different things.”

    　 B. “Interest is long-lasting while friendship is flexible.”

    　 C. “I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life.”

    　 D. “I think being generous is the base of friendship.”

    68. From the Miller’s talk at home, we can see he was ___________.

    　 A. serious but kind

    B. helpful and generous

    C. caring but strict

    D. selfish and cold-hearted

    69. What’s the main cause of Hans’ tragedy?

    　 A. True friendship between them.

    B. A lack of formal education.

    　 C. A sudden change of weather.

    D. Blind devotion to a friend.

    70. The author described the Miller’s behavior in order to ___________.

    　 A. entertain the readers with an incredible joking tale

    　 B. show the friendship between Hans and the Miller

    　 C. warn the readers about the danger of a false friend

    　 D. persuade people to be as intelligent as the Miller

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A，B，C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　A firm handshake is key to interview success．As any serious job-hunter knows, it helps to dress smartly and smile at that all-important interview．But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes to impressing potential employers．

    　　The US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock(模拟)interviews with businesses．As each undergraduate was graded on their overall performance, five "handshake raters" also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact．

    　　Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers．Students with " wimpy" shakes were judged to be more timid and less impressive．

    　　The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts．

    　　Professor Stewart said： "We've always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview．But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview．We don't consciously remember a person's handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal clues we get about the person's overall personality, and that impression is what we remember．"

    　　Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men．But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts．

    　　Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, -as an over enthusiastic "bone crusher" handshake can indicate self-importance, a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness．

    　　The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons．

    　　Running like the wind, roaring like thunder, tigers have long been feared and respected as a king of the animal world．But last week a report said that there are no more than 30 wild tigers left in south China．

    　　This was the conclusion of a team of scientists from China's State Forestry Administration and the World Nature Fund．

    　　The South China tiger, also known as the Chinese tiger, is native to southern China．In the 1950's, there were over 4000 tigers found in mountain forests in the country．But due to the destruction of their natural habitat and uncontrolled hunting, it has been pushed on to the list of the world's top ten most endangered species．

    　　Sixty-six of the big cats can be found in the cages of a dozen zoos around China．But they are nothing like their wild cousins．They have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing．If they were set free they could not look after themselves．

    　　“Breeding has damaged the quality of the species”, said Pei Enle, deputy director of the Shanghai Zoo．

    　　To reintroduce the species into the wild, the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to South Africa．Four of them have already arrived．Progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts(本能)and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base．

    　　“South Africans are very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild．The country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in”, said Lu Jun, office director of the National Wildlife Research and Development Center．“We tried in Fujian Province, but it was not successful as there was not a complete eco-chain(生物链)and there was a lack of space．”

    　　The tigers should return to China in 2007 when the reservations in Fujian are ready．

    (1)

    What is the main reason for the South China tiger becoming one of the world's top ten most endangered species?

    [　　]

    A．

    Because it has lost its natural instincts．

    B．

    Because there is not a complete eco-chain．

    C．

    Because there is no space for it．

    D．

    Because uncontrolled hunting has destroyed its natural living conditions．

    (2)

    How is the programme of sending several tigers to South Africa getting on?

    [　　]

    A．

    Its effect still remains to be seen．

    B．

    Two tigers can already compete with their wild cousins．

    C．

    Some of the tigers are already on the road to recovering their natural skills．

    D．

    The tigers should be able to recover their instincts completely by 2007．

    (3)

    By saying“but they are nothing like their wild cousins”, the writer means that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    they are no longer feared by other wild animals

    B．

    they don't know how to hunt or kill

    C．

    a complete change has resulted in the species because of breeding

    D．

    to reintroduce them into the wild has become an urgent task

    (4)

    What is the purpose of sending young tigers to South Africa?

    [　　]

    A．

    To help the tigers recover their ability to live in the wild．

    B．

    To provide them with a better environment．

    C．

    To get the tigers to go on a tour．

    D．

    To find a complete eco-chain for them．

    (5)

    Which one is not the reason for South Africa being chosen as the training place?

    [　　]

    A．

    Because the tigers can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base．

    B．

    Because South Africans are skilled at dealing with the tigers．

    C．

    Because there is a complete eco-chain and enough space there．

    D．

    Because the country has good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in．
