    I agreed with most of what you said, but I didn’t agree with A everything B anything C something D nothing Reading comprehension We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft no longer exists. One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability. “Homes in those days are well built, they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship. Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, most people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to built the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty if carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know hoe to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old. One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and powerplanes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs. The problem of modern quality, then, really bolls down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material. 【查看更多】

         "Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.
         "It's so dreadful to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.
         "I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all," added
    little Amy, with an injured sniff.
         "We've got father and mother and each other," said Beth, contentedly.
         The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly: "We haven't got father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps
    never", but each silently added it, thinking of father far away, where the fighting was.
         Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said in an altered tone: "You know the reason mother
    proposed not having any presents this Christmas was because it is going to be a hard winter for everyone; and she thinks we ought not to spend money for pleasure when our men are suffering so in the army. We
    can't do much, but we can make our little sacrifices, and ought to do it gladly. But I am afraid I don't";
    and Meg shook her head, and she thought regretfully of all the pretty things she wanted.
         "But I don't think the little we should spend would do any good. We've each got a dollar, and the
    army wouldn't be much helped by our giving that. I agree not to expect anything from mother or you, but
    I do want to buy UNDINE AND SINTRAM for myself; I've wanted it so long," said Jo, who was a
    bookworm.
         "I planned to spend mine on new music," said Beth, with a little sigh.
         "I shall get a nice box of Faber's drawing pencils; I really need them," said Amy, decidedly.
         "Mother didn't say anything about our money, and she won't wish us to give up everything. Let's each
    buy what we want, and have a little fun; I'm sure we work hard enough to earn it," cried Jo, examining
    the heels of her shoes in a gentlemanly manner.
         "I know I do-teaching those tiresome children nearly all day when I am longing to enjoy myself at
    home," began Meg, in the complaining tone again.
         "You don't have half such a hard time as I do," said Jo. "How would you like to be shut up for hours
    with a nervous, fussy old lady, who is never satisfied, and worries you till you're ready to fly out of the
    window or cry?"
         "It's naughty to fret; but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the
    world. It makes me cross; and my hands get so stiff, I can't practice well at all"; and Beth looked at her
    rough hands with a sigh that anyone could hear.
         "I don't believe any of you suffer as I do." cried Amy, "for you don't have to go to school with
    impertinent girls, who plague you if you don't know your lessons, and laugh at your dresses, and label
    your father if he isn't rich."
         "If you mean libel, I'd say so, and not talk about labels, as if papa was a pickle-bottle," advised Jo,
    laughing.
         "I know what I mean, and you needn't be satirical about it. It's proper to use good words, and
    improve your vocabulary," returned Amy, with dignity.
         "Don't peck at one another, children. Don't you wish we had the money papa lost when we were
    little, Jo? Dear me! How happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!" said Meg, who could
    remember better times.
         "You once said you thought we were a deal happier than the King children, for they were fighting
    and fretting all the time, in spite of their money."
         "So I did. I think we are; for, though we do have to work, we make fun for ourselves, and are a pretty
    jolly set, as Jo would say." Jo immediately sat up, put her hands in her pockets, and began to whistle.
         "Don't, Jo; it's so boyish!"
         "That's why I do it."
         "I detest rude, unladylike girls!"
         "I hate affected, niminy-piminy chits!"
         "Birds in their little nests agree" sang Beth, the peacemaker, with such a funny face that both sharp
    voices softened to a laugh, and the `pecking' ended for that time.
    1. According to the passage, who is the most pessimistic and who the most optimistic?
    A. Jo; Amy
    B. Meg; Beth
    C. Meg; Amy
    D. Amy; Beth
    2. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
    A. Their father died when he was fighting with others.
    B. Their father is away at the war, leaving them at home with their mother.
    C. The passage is a story about three girls and a boy in a family.
    D. The four children in the passage all work and earn their own money.
    3. What do they think of their mother's proposal of not having any Christmas gifts?

    Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thing by calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of a dark street.

    Li and his classmates from NO.2 Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’s Day selling roses on the street.As night approached，they cycled back with over 200 yuan in their pockets.

    Suddenly，a gang of robbers jumped out at them.The five robbers were tall and strong，so Li ran away to call the police.He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right.His classmates returned safe and sound.

    So，what would you have done in Li’s situation？Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescue your friends?

    A new Beijing student code does not encourage you to risk your life to help them.

    The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.

    It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others dangerous situations.Gone are the old calls，which had been in place since 1987，for students to“fight criminals courageously”and “sacrifice themselves to save others”．

    Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.

    A well­known example was Lai Ning，who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.

    The deaths connected to teenagers’“heroic acts” started a nation­wide debate about the protection of youngsters.

    Wei Lusheng，a parent in Beijing，said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves，before learning from heroes.

    But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.

    “Getting rid of the words‘fight criminals courageously’do not mean we deny the spirit of‘fearlessness’and ‘readiness’to help others.”said Li Jing，an official in Beijing.“But，we should be more rational about the spirit of sacrifice.”

    Li Lu’ou agreed.“Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward，” he said.“but you need make sure you are able to offer help.For example，it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning，but didn’t know how to swim.In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”

    41．Which is true about Li and his classmates?

    A．They bought roses for each other on Valentine’s Day.

    B．They called 110 immediately when they were held up by a gang of robbers.

    C．Li risked his life for his classmates in the dangerous situation.

    D．Instead of fighting the robbers Li thought it right for him to call the police.

    42．The new student code was introduced in Beijing because______.

    A．students are facing more danger than they used to

    B．the old student code didn’t include the spirit of courage

    C．the old one didn’t tell students how to protect themselves while helping others in trouble

    D．the old student code encouraged students to sacrifice themselves to save others.

    43．Which can be inferred about Lai Ning?

    A．He was one of the top 10 model young pioneers in 1987.

    B．If it weren’t him，the forest fire would not have been put out.

    D．His deeds did not agree with what the old student code encouraged.

    44．The underlined word“deny ”in the second last paragraph means“________”．

    A．agree with                                          B．disagree with

    C．connect with                                      D．object to

    45．According to the new student code which of the following statements is right?

    A．There will be more criminals after the new student code was introduced.

    B．The police in Beijing will have a more difficult time in keeping order.

    C．The spirit of“fearlessness”and “readiness”help others will be thrown away.
