  He continued to crumple(弄皱)the 20-dollar note up.He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were on in the air.

  “Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?,” He dropped it on the ground and started to grind(磨)it into the floor with his shoe.He picked it up, now the note was crumpled and dirty.

  “Now, who still wants it?”

  Still the hands went into the air.

  “My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.No matter what I did to the money ,you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value(价值).It was still worth $20.”

  “Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled ,and grounded into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances(情况)that come our way.We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.”

阅读下面的短文,按要求做文后的试题.

根据下面1篇短文内容,判断对错.

  These two letters appeared in a newspaper. Both writers have their own ideas on zoos.

Zoos Are Unnatural

  In Maria's letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals, they are only good for people. It is unnatural(非自然的) and unfair to keep wild animals in cages(笼子). Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can't do this. This is why the bears and tigers always look so sad.

  Most cages are not very clean either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat(对待) animals in the same way that we treat other people-with respect.

  Would anyone be happy if you don't let him go outside his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn't. And animals don't like it either.

Philip Black

Zoos Do a Good Job

  It is good to keep animals in zoos. I know a lot of people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos. However, I believe that zoos have many good points.

  Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.

  Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned regularly(定期). In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals are kept in zoos never go hungry.

  Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they look after. They offer them safe places to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct(灭绝). But zoos give these animals a chance(机会) to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.

Maria Smith

1.Maria and Philip have quite different ideas on keeping animals in zoos.

(  )

2.In Maria's opinion(观点), a real bear or tiger can only be seen in zoos.

(  )

3.Maria thinks that animals live better in zoos than in the wild.

(  )

4.According to Philip, if cages are big and clean enough, tigers and bears will look happy.

(  )

5.In the two letters, they are discussing how to make animals in zoos happy.

阅读下面的文言文,完成小题
陈禾,字秀实,明州鄞县人。元符三年进士。累迁辟雍①博士、监察御史、殿中侍御史。
天下久平,武备宽弛,东南尤甚。禾请增戍、缮城壁,以戒不虞。或指为生事,格不下。其后盗起,人服其先见。
迁左正言,俄除给事中。时童贯权益张,与黄经臣胥用事,御史中丞卢航表里为奸,搢绅侧目。禾曰:“此国家安危之本也。吾位言责,此而不言,一迁给舍,则非其职矣。”未拜命,首抗疏劾贯。复劾经臣:“怙宠弄权,夸炫朝列。每云诏令皆出其手,言上将用某人,举某事,已而诏下,悉如其言。夫发号施令,国之重事,黜幽陟明,天子大权,奈何使宦寺②得与?臣之所忧,不独经臣,此途一开,类进者众,国家之祸,有不可遏,愿亟窜之远方。”
论奏未终,上拂衣起。禾引上衣,请毕其说。衣裾落,上曰:“正言碎朕衣矣。”禾言:“陛下不惜碎衣,臣岂惜碎首以报陛下?此曹今日受富贵之利,陛下他日受危亡之祸。”言愈切,上变色曰:“卿能如此,朕复何忧?”内侍请上易衣,上却之曰:“留以旌直臣。”翌日,贯等相率前诉,谓国家极治,安得此不详语。卢航奏禾狂妄,谪信州监酒。遇赦,得自便还里。
初,陈瓘归自岭外,居于鄞,与禾相好,遣其子正汇从学。后正汇告蔡京罪,执诣阙,瓘亦就逮。经臣莅其狱,檄禾取证,禾答以事有之,罪不敢逃。或谓其失对,禾曰:“祸福死生,命也,岂可以死易不义耶?愿得分贤者罪。”遂坐瓘党停官。
遇赦,复起知广德军,移知和州。寻遭内艰,服除,知秀州。王黼新得政,禾曰:“安能出黼门下?”力辞,改汝州。辞益坚,曰:“宁饿死。”黼闻而衔之。禾兄秉时为寿春府教授,禾侍兄官居。适童贯领兵道府下,谒不得入,馈之不受。贯怒,归而谮之。上曰:“此人素如此,汝不能容邪?”久之,知舒州,命下而卒,赠中大夫,谥文介。
(节选自《宋史·陈禾传》)
【注】①辟雍:太学名。  ②宦寺:宦官。
【小题1】对下列句子中划线词语的解释,不正确的一项是
A.禾请增戍、缮城壁,以戒不 虞:预料
B.此今日受富贵之利曹:一类人
C.安得此不语 详:详细
D.黼闻而之衔:怀恨
【小题2】下列句子中,全都表现陈禾刚强正直的一组是
①其后盗起,人服其先见  ②未拜命,首抗疏劾贯
③论奏未终,上拂衣起    ④檄禾取证,禾答以事有之,罪不敢逃
⑤辞益坚,曰:“宁饿死。”  ⑥寻遭内艰,服除,知秀州
A.①②④B.②④⑤
C.①③⑥D.③⑤⑥
【小题3】下列对原文的理解和分析,不正确的一项是
A.陈禾从长久太平的局面中看出潜藏的危机,针对当时军备松弛,东南一带尤其严重的情况,他上奏请求采取措施,起初不为人理解,后来事实证明他有先见之明。
B.其他官员对童贯等人的行为不敢指责,陈禾却大胆弹劾。他认为自己所处职位有进言的责任,这时候不进言劝谏,一旦调任给事中,进谏就不是自己的本职了。
C.陈禾冒死进谏,拉破了皇帝的衣服,迫使皇帝表面上赞同其意见。然而陈禾激怒了皇帝,以致第二天当童贯、卢航等人诋毁他时,皇帝就趁势将他贬谪到外地
D.陈禾遇赦,被起用掌管广德军,调任和州知州。不久遇上母亲去世,服丧结束,担任秀州知州。
