They
14、were fairly well-off. The father, Leopold, was a master of music in Austria. His mother was warm-hearted. There were two children, Marianne, a schoolgirl, and little Wolfgang, a child not quite four years old. Marianne was learning to play the piano, and day after day Leopold stood behind her as she
15、 practiced. How patient their father was, and how cleverly he showed Marianne how to play some particularly difficult pieces! She was making progress, very good progress, and that was excellent. And there, almost lost in the big chair, sat Wolfgang, who never had to be told to keep quiet when lookin
16、g over Mariannes shoulder. At that moment Wolfgang climbed on his fathers knees and begged to be allowed to play the pretty piece Marianne had now mastered. What a joke that was! Picking up his baby son, Leopold laughed and said, “Look at your hands. You must wait, little man!“There was no end to th
17、e fun during tea, and Marianne had to tell her mother about Wolfgang wanting to play a difficult piece. When the meal was finished, Marianne helped to clear away the dishes. Suddenly Leopold got up. “Listen!“ said he in a surprised voice. “Listen! Marianne is playing the piece better than ever!“But
18、Marianne was washing dishes in the kitchen.His wife following, Leopold walked quietly upstairs, the lamp in one hand, his music book in the other.

In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to prepare them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very
28、 important to choose a system of education which will really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds, or to continue with ones old system of education without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not.In many modern countries
29、, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for allwhether rich or poor, clever or stupidone can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number o
30、f people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they consider “low“ work; and, in fact, work with the hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of
31、a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we will die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we would have terrible diseases in our towns. In countries where there are no ser
32、vants because everyone is ashamed to do such work, scientists have to waste much of their time doing housework.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to prepare for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brai
33、n and ability, and secondly, we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work, or to scorn someone elses. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.（分数：15.00）(1).Education is_.（分数：3.75）A.a purposeB.a meansC.fashionableD.the fi
34、rst system(2).In many modern countries, children go to school_.（分数：3.75）A.by free educationB.to be able to marryC.to work for societyD.to rid themselves of “low“ work(3).In our country, the educational purpose is_.（分数：3.75）A.to make children get degreesB.to prepare children for lifeC.to get everyone
35、 to live happilyD.to choose a system of education(4).Cleaners and farmers do _scientists do.（分数：3.75）A.the same work asB.less important work thanC.more work thanD.as important work as八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Archimedes was a famous Greek mathematician and scientist. He was born around 287 BC an
36、d he died in the year 212 BC.Archimedes is most well-known for one specific idea that he came up with. “Archimedess Principle“ states that a solid object which is immersed in a liquid is pushed up by a force which is equal to the weight of the water that the object moves. For example, if you put a p
37、iece of wood and a piece of gold the same size in water, only the wood will float. Both the wood and gold move the same amount of water, but the wood weighs less than this water, while the gold weighs more.It is believed that Archimedes discovered this principle when the king of Syracuse asked him t
38、o solve a problem. The king wanted to know if his crown was pure gold or a mixture of gold and silver. The king, of course, did not melt his crown to find out. The idea came to Archimedes as he lowered himself into his bath. He noticed how the water spilled out of the tub. He decided to use the same
39、 idea for the crown. He knew that a gold crown immersed in water would weigh more than one made of silver. The experiment was done and the goldsmith was proved guilty of trying to cheat the king.（分数：15.00）(1).A good title for the selection is_.（分数：3.75）A.ArchimedesB.Archimedess PrincipleC.A Gold and
40、 Silver CrownD.The King of Syracuse(2).The word “immersed“ in the second paragraph means“_”.（分数：3.75）A.liftedB.raisedC.roseD.under water(3).We drop a piece of metal into a jar full of water, the metal will float if it weighs less than_.（分数：3.75）A.an equal amount of silverB.an equal amount of goldC.a
41、ll the water in the jar nowD.the water that leaves the jar(4).From this selection we may conclude that the kings crown_.（分数：3.75）A.moved less water than pure gold of the same sizeB.moved more water than pure gold of the same weightC.moved more water than pure gold of the same sizeD.moved less water
42、than pure gold of the same weight九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：15.00)From the beginning rivers have played an important part in the life of man. Man of the earliest times used the rivers as a means of traveling. Today rivers still serve as a great waterway for the transport and people.In ancient times, ma
43、n settled near rivers or on river banks and built up large empires.Water is the Natures most precious gift to man. Man needs water to irrigate his crops, to cook and to wash. In nations all over the world rivers mean life and wealth. They feed and clothe the nations around them.Water is also a sourc

The electrical power is then directed to homes, cities, factories and television stations.Man uses water each day. His main source of water comes from r
45、eservoirs, which in turn get their water from the rivers.Rivers also bring down soil and minerals from the mountains and deposit them on the plains building up rich river deltas for raising plants and crops. Fresh water life in rivers or in lakes fed by them provide man with food.In a small way rive
