20.Compassion (同情) is a desire within us to help others.With effort,we can translate compassion into actions.An experience last weekend showed me this is true.I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly.These old people are our main customers,and it's easy to lose patience over their slowness.But last Sunday,one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson.This untidy man walked up to my register with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room,and had nothing in his cupboards.He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn't help staring at him.I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before,and what he would be like if luck had gone his way.I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul,all alone in the world.I told him that I was sorry,and the store rules didn't allow me to do so.I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job.
Just then,another man,standing behind the first,spoke up."If anything,"he looked more pitiable,"charge it to me,"was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity.Pity is soft,safe and easy.Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed,either.Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself.I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

53.From the first paragraph,we can know the old gentleman wasD.
A.friendly
B.disappointed
C.kind and lucky
D.poor and lonely
54.The underlined sentence"Ivalued my job."means"B".
A.I didn't like my present job.
B.I didn't want to lose my present job.
C.I thought I should pay for the old gentleman.
D.I expected someone else to pay for the old gentleman.
55.What is the main point in this passage?A
A.Helping others is easier said than done.
B.Experience is better gained through practice.
C.Wealth is more important than anything else.
D.Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

分析 文章讲述了作者在超市收银时,遇到一位贫穷又孤独的老人,想要一份饼干,第二天来送钱.作者虽然同情他,但还是以店里有规定,拒绝了老人的要求.这时一位看起来比前一位更可怜的人主动要为老人付账,作者同样拒绝了,自己掏钱为老人结了帐.在作者看来,帮助别人说起来容易做起来难,经过努力,我们可以将爱心转化成行动帮助别人.

解答 答案:53.D  细节推测题.This untidy man walked up to my register with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room,and had nothing in his cupboards.根据这个邋遢的男人带着一盒饼干走到我的登记,他说他没钱了,刚刚搬入他的房间,在他的橱柜里什么都没有.可知老先生是贫穷和孤独.故选D.
54.B  句意猜测题.根据I told him that I was sorry,and the store rules didn't allow me to do so.I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job.我告诉他,我很抱歉,根据规则不允许我这么做.我觉得自己很笨,不说这个,但我不能丢掉我的工作.可知意思为我不想失去现在的工作.故选B.
55.A  细节理解题.根据最后一段pity is soft and safe and easy.compassion is caring in action.遗憾的是软弱的,安全的和容易的.同情,另一方面是行动上的关怀.可知帮助别人说起来容易做起来难.故选A.

点评 本文中长句较多,一时很难读懂句子含义,注意多读几遍,不要强求非得理解一词一句的含义,能把握文章大意就行.瞻前顾后,仔细推敲,确定最佳答案.

8.Stonehenge,a rock circle,is not only one of Britain's most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries.Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors.People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
       For many years,historians(历史学家) believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods.However,historian Paul Stoker thinks this can't be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago."The leaders arrived in England much later,"he points out.
       Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar.The large stones were put together in a certain way.On midsummer's morning,the sun shines directly into the center of the stones.Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose.They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people health y."As you walk there,you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,"said one visitor.No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for,but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose.Some think it might be a burial(埋葬) place or a place to honor ancestors(祖先).Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.
       Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time.Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old.One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy.In 2001,a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge,but they couldn't."We don't really know who built Stonehenge,"says Paul Stoker."And perhaps we might never know,but we do know they must have been hard-working-and great planners!"

9.It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs.In other words,they have more chances to choose.good job while people with little or no education don't.It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.But this isn't accepted by all people.
Some people may think that.person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living.This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education.In fact,if education is just:way of making a living,people don't need to spend so much time in school.People can get education for a living in a short time.Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone.Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地),either.Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man.It is not only to teach him to speak,read and write,but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities.After that,it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of humans.Education is to make a man lead a better life.Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music,read good books,watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education,but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
36.People with little education usuallyD.
A.spend a long time in school                   
B.have a good chance to get a job
C.spend the best years to choose jobs           
D.have a smaller chance to get a good job
37.The earliest education was probably toC.
A.make a man lead a better life                 
B.teach a man to write and think
C.make people get a way of living               
D.teach people to read good books
38.The underlined word"well一rounded"in the passage means"D"in Chinese.
A.圆满的           
B.崭新的               
C.公平的             
D.全面的
39.It is expected that educated people will be able toB
A.accept education as a way of living            
B.take an interest访the whole world
C.develop their abilities to make plays          
D.learn subjects like language and math
40.The passage mainly tells us thatA
A.education should make a man improve
B.people can get education in a short time
C.people should be able to get better一paid jobs
D.all subjects are so important for a way of living.
