23、rd Savage, was once riving in London in great poverty. In order to earn a little money he had written the story of his life, but not many copies of the book had been sold in the shop, so Savage was living from hand to mouth. As a result of his lack of food he became very ill. However after a time, b
24、ecause of the skill of the doctor who had looked after him, he got well again. After a week or two the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his visits, but poor Savage hadn“t any money and couldn“t pay it. The doctor waited for another month and sent the bill again. But still no money came. After severa
25、l weeks he sent it to him again asking for his money. In the end he came to Savage“s house and asked him for payment, saying to Savage, “You know you owe your life to me and I expected some gratitude from you.“ “I agree,“ said Savage, “that I owe my life to you, and to prove to you that I am not ung
26、rateful for your work I will give my life to you.“ With these words he handed to him two copies entitled THE LIFE OF RICHARD.（分数：4.00）(1).The best title for this text should be _.（分数：1.00）A.A Poor English WriterB.A Skilled DoctorC.A Life for a LifeD.The Life of Richard Savage(2).In the text the unde

This is a good ru
29、le to follow when trying to judge the intelligence (智力) of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. When he speaks, he may not be able to find the right words. But y
30、ou don“t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody. Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively (注意地) and takes notes in class is sure to make a g
31、ood impression (印象) on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class. It all boils down to thisyou can“t judge someone by appearance. The only way to judge a person“s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see he reacts (反应) to different situations. Th
32、e more situations you see, the better your judgement is likely to be. So take your time. Don“t judge the book by its cover.（分数：4.00）(1).The passage suggests that _.（分数：1.00）A.a good writer is always a good speakerB.a good writer may not be a good speakerC.a good writer will find himself speechlessD.

35、 make the mistake of thinking a young man stupidD.not to overestimate a student“s intelligenceCHotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows. That“s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing b
36、ut break the whole program. Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance (
37、无知). Then the host has to answer and explainhow silly this is! It wastes a lot of time. It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don“t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be. I“
38、m totally bored by those people. It“s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programs. In my opinion, if a caller doesn“t know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.（分数：4.00）(1).The sentence, “Some people do nothing but break the whole program.“ may te
