in farm work at all. He did everything that he could to avoid (避免) it. Once he wrote. "What a waste it is
for a man to spend hours behind a slowly moving horse."

阅读下面短文,回答文后题目。
《闻一多先生的说和做》(16分)
闻一多先生还有另外一个方面,——作为革命家的方面。
这个方面,情况就迥乎不同,而且一反既往了。
作为争取民主的战士,青年运动的领导人,闻一多先生“说”了。起先,小声说,只有昆明的青年听得到;后来,声音越来越大,他向全国人民呼喊,叫人民起来,反对独裁,争取民主!
他在给我的信上说:“此身别无长处,既然有一颗心,有一张嘴,讲话定要讲个痛快!”
他“说”了,跟着的是“做”。这不再是“做了再说”或“做了也不一定说”了。现在,他“说”了就“做”。言论与行动完全一致,这是人格的写照,而且是以生命作为代价的。
1944年10月12日,他给了我一封信,最后一行说:“另函寄上油印物二张,代表我最近的工作之一,请传观。”
这是为争取民主,反对独裁,他起稿的一张政治传单!
在李公仆同志被害之后,警报迭起,形势紧张,明知凶多吉少,而闻先生大无畏地在群众大会上,大骂特务,慷慨淋漓,并指着这群败类说:你们站出来!你们站出来!
他“说”了。说得痛快,动人心,鼓壮志,气冲斗牛,声震天地!
他“说”了:“我们要准备像李公仆一样,前脚跨出大门,后脚就不准备再跨进大门。”
他“做”了,在情况紧急的生死关头,他走到游行示威队伍的前头,昂首挺胸,长须飘飘。他终于以宝贵的生命,实证了他的“言”和“行”。
闻一多先生,是卓越的学者,热情澎湃的优秀诗人,大勇的革命烈士。
他,是口的巨人。他,是行的高标。
【小题1】作为革命家的闻一多是怎样对待“说”和“做”的?(2分)

阅读简答:阅读下面短文,简要回答文后问题。
     History is the story of us, human beings. Everyone who has lived and everything that has happened are
part of history. But history is not only what happened in the past. The word also means the study of the past,
through old written records and other kinds of facts.
     Why do we study history? One reason is that we enjoy it. A good story is even better if it is true, and
history is full of good stories, though they can be terrible too. A more serious reason is to understand ourselves
and the world we live in. To understand events happening now, we need to know their causes. We cannot
understand the present if we know nothing about the past. History helps to explain why things are the way they
are.
     Of course, history books cannot tell us everything about the past, not even everything that is recorded. A
history of the world has to pick out the people and events that changed the world.
     Since ancient times, great civilizations have appeared in different countries and regions. Usually, only three
or four existed at the same time. While they lasted, they changed the lives not only of their own people, but of
their neighbors too.
注:(1) civilizations 文明 (2) exist 存在 (3) region 地区
1. What is history?
     __________________________________________________________
2. How do we study history?
    __________________________________________________________
3. Why do we study history? Please give two reasons. 
    __________________________________________________________
    __________________________________________________________
4. What have appeared in different countries and regions since ancient times? 
    __________________________________________________________
5. What title can you give to the passage?
