    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    　　Zheng He, the Columbus of the East, was an amazing man．

    　　He was born in 1371 and, 11 years later, was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him．Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends．In 1403 Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his new government．

    　　The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power．He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader．Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world．He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East．A few people think his ships may have even reached South America and Australia．

    　　Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50 000 kms during the years of his travels．With 28 000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers' horses, Zheng He led a fleet(舰队)whose size would not be equalled by Europeans for over 500 years I

    　　On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods．He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe．

    　　It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He s travels．After he died in 1433, the new king, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, had them stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels．It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He．

    Someone says, “Time is money.” But I think time is    31   important than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can get back. However（然而）, when time is    32   , it’ll never    33  . That is    34   we mustn’t waste（浪费）time.
    So we say that     35    is usually short. Even a second（秒）is very important. We should make full use of our time to do something    36   .
    But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. They spend their time smoking, drinking and     37   . They do not know that wasting time means wasting part of their own    38  .
    In a word, we should save time. We shouldn’t    39   today’s work for tomorrow. Remember we have no time to     40   .

    What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined(有决心的). You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists(心理学家)tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference (爱好), and the effect that colours have on human beings(人类).They tell us that we don't choose our favorite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

    A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑的). Light and bright colours make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey .

    Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade(灯罩).

    1.According to this passage, ________. 

    A.one can choose his colour preference

    B.one is born with his colour preference

    C.one's colour preference is changeable

    D.one has to choose his favourite colour as he can see clearly

    2.If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer________.

        A. red to yellow                    B. blue to orange

        C. red to grey                      D. blue to yellow

    3.The main idea of this passage is ________.

    A.one's color preference show one's character

    B.you can brighten your life with wonderful colours

    C.psychologists have been studying the meaning of colour preference

    D.one's color preference has something to do with his character and colours  have  effects on human beings

    4.The writer believes that in realizing the four modernizations(四个现代化) of our country, we need more people who love ________.

       A.yellow             B.red           C.green         D.black

    5.“I'm feeling black.” means “________ ”.

    A.I am feeling well.                B.I am very happy.

    C.I am excited.                 D.I am depressed
