We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives. This sense of wonder is universal. Look at

21、 the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy(幻想 ) literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe(虚假 ). But have we gon

22、e so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather

23、isolated(隔离的 ) lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beaut

24、iful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction(交互 ) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。 The world of make-believe is n

25、ot necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路 ) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we

26、 can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own. 【小题 1】 The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves . A the close connection between man and the fantasy world B the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature C the general existence of the sense of curiosity D the fine t

27、aste of moviegoers around the world 【小题 2】 What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 A The world around us could serve as a source of wonder. B People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy. C The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond. D Modern tech

28、nology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder. 【小题 3】 If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe, we will A be confused by the world of make-believe B fail to appreciate the joy in our lives C miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world D be trapped by other world

29、s existing all around us 【小题 4】 What is the main purpose of the passage A To show us the hidden beauty in our world. B To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe. C To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder. D To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world. 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 A

30、 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 D Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldnt forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发 ) his fa

31、mous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwins footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands. The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂 ) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government co

32、ntrol. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be. The most well-known animals of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龟 ), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelag

33、o(群岛 ). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself. Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of

34、you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air. Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world.

35、 At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time. 【小题 1】 What do we know about Darwins visit to the islands A He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands. B He

36、completed his famous book on the islands. C He was touched by the geography of the islands. D He studied different creatures on the islands. 【小题 2】 Which of the following plays a role in making the islands “a paradise for wildlife” A People cannot visit the islands as they wish. B Local government f

37、orbids killing wildlife. C Animals on the islands feed on grass. D Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals. 【小题 3】 Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of . A a closer view of animals B Darwins inspiring trip C The beautiful sea views D various daring activities 【小题

38、4】 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage A Calapagos as a Paradise for Adventures B A Unique Attraction for wildlife Lovers C Charles Darwin as a symbol of Galapagos D A successful Example of wildlife protection 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 B It is hardly surprising

39、 that clothing manufacturers(生产商 ) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征 ) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Mens clothes tend to button from the right, an

40、d womens from the left. Considering most of the worlds populationmen and womenare right-handed, the mens standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do womens clothes button from the left History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in th

41、e 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having womens shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having mens shirts button form the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with th

42、e right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all womens shirts buttoned from the left, it would ha

43、ve been risky for any single manufacturer to offer womens shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in pu

44、blic wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing mens shirts. 【小题 1】 What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry A It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years. B It fails to consider right-handed people. C

45、It woks better with men than with women. D It is different for mens clothing and womens. 【小题 2】 What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century A They tended to wear clothes without buttons. B They drew their swords from the left. C They were mostly dressed by servants. D They were interested

46、 in the historical matters. 【小题 3】 Womens clothes still button from the left today because . A adopting mens style is improper for women B manufacturers should follow standards C customs are hard to change D modern women dress themselves 【小题 4】 The passage is mainly developed by . A examining differ

47、ences B making comparisons C analyzing causes D following the time order 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 C Love, success, happiness, family and freedomhow important are these values to you Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life. Question: Could you introduce yourself first Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now Im a web designer.
