Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze (分析 ) defeat and actually learn something from it in hi
25、s next undertaking (从事的工作 ). Wrongly taking defeat for failure, you are sure indeed to fail, for it isnt defeat that makes you fail; it is your own refusal to see the guide and encouragement to success in defeat. Defeats are nothing to be afraid of. They are common incidents in the life of every man
26、 who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to get rid of its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success but nothing can cause within us such a strong wish to succeed. If you left a baby gra
27、sp a stick and try to pull it away, he will hold it more and moro tightly until his whole weight is hung up. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you make full use of the power which defeat gives; you can compete with it far more than
28、 you are able to. 54 How much does the writer know about success? （ A） He knows at least several examples of success. （ B） He knows every success in life. （ C） He knows every success that has been achieved by man. （ D） It is not referred to. 55 The person who is able to analyze defeat is likely_. （
29、A） to achieve success （ B） to be afraid of his defeat （ C） to let a baby grasp a stick （ D） to make a living 56 Defeat is valuable_. （ A） because it makes you fail （ B） because it forces you to face it （ C） because it gives the guide and encouragement to success （ D） because of your own refusal to s
30、ee in it the guide and encouragement to success 57 Everything has two sides. One side of SARS is already clear. It is a deadly disease, which causes fear. There were 2601 cases recorded on tile Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government figures. Some 115 people have died and numbers keep
31、rising. But, theres another side. SARS is a reminder of how fragile (脆弱的 ) life can be. Suddenly, its not just the old people who are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow. Li Ping, a Senior 3 student in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, came into contact (接触 ) wit
32、h a suspected (疑似 ) SARS patient in mid-April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks. “Watching TV about more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be so close. Life is valuable and I am going to treasure every single day,“ he said. SARS teaches people to be gratef
33、ul, not only for their own lives, but also for others. Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected (被感染的 ) patients. As a result, more than 20 percent of SARS cases in China are medical workers. Liu Yu, a Senior 2 student of Beijing No. 5 Middle School, wants to be a
34、doctor when he grows up. “Although they certainly know of the dangers, doctors and nurses remain bravely dedicated (致力于 ) to saving peoples lives. I was deeply moved by what they have done. I think they are real heroes,“ he said. SARS also teaches sympathy (同情 ). The past difficult weeks have been t
35、errible for Chinese people. But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and murders. Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years. Think of how the Americans felt on 9.11. And finally, SARS offers the chance to grow. All different types o
36、f people and government officials are joining together to cope with this difficult time. When this passes, China and its people, will have learned great lessons. 57 The story of Li Ping is given in this passage mainly to_. （ A） tell us the hardship of life （ B） tell us the fragileness of life （ C） t
37、ell the cruelty of SARS （ D） tell us the joy of life 58 The main points discussed in the passage is_. （ A） SARS is a deadly disease （ B） Chinese people are going all out to fight the disease （ C） SARS teaches us a lot （ D） doctors are dedicated to saving peoples lives 59 Among the infected patients
38、by SARS, which of the following is most? （ A） Students. （ B） Doctors and nurses. （ C） Workers. （ D） Officials. 60 The writer tells us of the brighter side for SARS in _. （ A） two （ B） three （ C） five （ D） four 61 The relationship between the home and market economies has gone through two distinct st
39、ages. Early industrialization began the process of transferring some production processes ( e. g. cloth making, sewing and canning foods) from the home to the marketplace. Though the home economy could still produce these goods, the processes were laborious (费力的 ) and the market economy was usually
40、more efficient. Soon, the more important second stage was evident the marketplace began producing goods and services that had never been produced by the home economy, and the home economy was unable to produce them ( e. g. electricity and electrical appliances, the automobile, advanced education, so
41、phisticated medical care). In the second stage, the question of whether the home economy was less efficient in producing these new goods and services was irrelevant; if the family were to enjoy these result of industrialization, they would have to be got in the marketplace. The traditional ways of t
42、aking care of these needs in the home, such as in nursing the sick, became socially unacceptable (and, in most serious cases, maybe less successful). Just as the appearance of the automobile made the use of horse-drawn carriage illegal and then impractical, and the television changed the radio from
43、a source of entertainment to a source of background music, so most of the fruits of economic growth did not increase the options available to the home economy to either produce the goods or services or purchase them in the market. Growth brought with it increased variety in consumer goods, but not i
44、ncreased flexibility for the home. economy in obtaining these goods and services. Instead, economic growth brought with it increased consumer reliance on the marketplace. In order to consume these new goods and services, the family had to enter the marketplace as wage earners and consumers. The neoc
45、lassic (新古典主义的 ) model that views the family as deciding whether to produce goods and services directly or to purchase them in the marketplace is basically a model of the first stage. It cannot accurately be applied to the second (and current) stage. 61 The reason why many production processes were
46、taken over by the marketplace was that_. （ A） it was a necessary step in the process of industrialization （ B） they depended on electricity available only to the market economy （ C） it was troublesome to produce such goods in the home （ D） the marketplace was more efficient with respect in these pro
47、cesses 62 It can be seen from the passage that in the second stage_. （ A） some traditional goods and services were not successful when provided by the home economy （ B） the market economy provided new goods and services never produced by the home economy （ C） producing traditional goods at home beca
48、me socially unacceptable （ D） the question of whether new goods and services were produced by the home economy became irrelevant 63 During the second stage, if the family wanted to consume new goods and services, they had to enter the marketplace_. （ A） as wage earners （ B） both as manufacturers and
49、 consumers （ C） both as workers and purchasers （ D） as customers 64 What does the passage mainly talk about? （ A） The development of home and market economies. （ B） The economy of developed nations. （ C） The history of art. （ D） How to make money. 65 One day a man gave an ad. in most of the newspapers in England, saying that he himself was a young man of millions of pounds and of great knowledge. Hes like to choose a girl to be hi
