12、r, it was a common matter of debate 【 B1】 people should marry for love or for money. The young people concerned usually favored love, and their parents usually favored money. In the novels of the period the dilemma was felicitously (巧妙地 ) solved by the discovery, 【 B2】 the last page 【 B3】 the appare
13、ntly penniless heroine was really a great heiress. But in real life young men 【 B4】 hoped for this denouement (结局 ) were apt to be disappointed. Prudent parents, 【 B5】 admitting that their daughters should marry for love, took care 【 B6】 all the young men they met should be rich. This method was som
14、etimes very successful; it was adopted, for examplem, by my maternal grandfather, who had 【 B7】 romantic daughters, none of 【 B8】 married badly. In these days of psychology the matter no 【 B9】 looks so simple as it did eighty years ago. We realize now that money may be the cause, or part of the caus
15、e, of quite genuine love; of this there are notable examples in history. Benjamin Disraeli, 【 B10】 became lord Beaconsfield, 【 B11】 in his youth, poor and struggling and passionately ambitious. He married a rich widow, much 【 B12】 than himself, and 【 B13】 by the world to be rather silly. Owing 【 B14
16、】 her, he was able to make his career a success. A cynical world naturally assumed that he loved her money 【 B15】 than he loved her, but in this the world was mistaken; through out the whole of their married life he was deeply and genuinely devoted 【 B16】 her. I do not suppose he would have loved he
17、r if she had been poor when he first knew her, but the gratitude which he felt for help 【 B17】 he owed to her kindly interest in him easily developed into a sincere affection. A great deal of affection is based upon the fact that its object is a help in 【 B18】 the purposes of the person who feels it
18、. Men in whom ambition is the leading passion are likely to love women 【 B19】 assist them 【 B20】 their career, and it would be very shallow psychology to suppose that the love is not real because it has its instinctive root in self-interest. 24 【 B1】 （ A） whether （ B） that （ C） which （ D） / 25 【 B2】
19、 （ A） in （ B） at （ C） on （ D） to 26 【 B3】 （ A） which （ B） that （ C） if （ D） what 27 【 B4】 （ A） who （ B） which （ C） what （ D） where 28 【 B5】 （ A） but （ B） however （ C） so （ D） while 29 【 B6】 （ A） that （ B） which （ C） what （ D） where 30 【 B7】 （ A） a large number of （ B） the large number （ C） a larger
20、number of （ D） the larger number of 31 【 B8】 （ A） who （ B） that （ C） whom （ D） which 32 【 B9】 （ A） long （ B） longer （ C） length （ D） longly 33 【 B10】 （ A） who （ B） whom （ C） that （ D） which 34 【 B11】 （ A） is （ B） was （ C） be （ D） / 35 【 B12】 （ A） old （ B） older （ C） young （ D） younger 36 【 B13】 （ A）
21、 consider （ B） to consider （ C） considering （ D） considered 37 【 B14】 （ A） in （ B） at （ C） on （ D） to 38 【 B15】 （ A） less （ B） least （ C） better （ D） best 39 【 B16】 （ A） at （ B） in （ C） on （ D） to 40 【 B17】 （ A） which （ B） that （ C） what （ D） / 41 【 B18】 （ A） realize （ B） realized （ C） realizing （ D
22、） to realize 42 【 B19】 （ A） who （ B） whom （ C） what （ D） which 43 【 B20】 （ A） to （ B） at （ C） in （ D） on 44 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 the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to governm
23、ent figures. Some 115 people have died and numbers keep 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
24、in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, came into contact (接触 ) with 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 ever
25、y single day,“ he said. SARS teaches people to be grateful, 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
26、2 student of Beijing No. 5 Middle School, wants to be a 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 teac
27、hes sympathy (同情 ). The past difficult weeks have been terrible 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 finall
28、y, SARS offers the chance to grow. All different types of 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. 44 The story of Li Ping is given in this passage mainly to _. （ A） tell us the har
29、dship of life （ B） tell us the fragileness of life （ C） tell the cruelty of SARS （ D） tell us the joy of life 45 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 dedicat
30、ed to saving peoples lives 46 Among the infected patients by SARS, which of the following is most? （ A） Students. （ B） Doctors and nurses. （ C） Workers. （ D） Officials. 47 The writer tells us of the brighter side for SARS in _. （ A） two （ B） three （ C） five （ D） four 48 The relationship between the
31、home and market economies has gone through two distinct stages. 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
32、 were laborious (费力的 ) and the market economy was usually 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 elec
33、trical appliances, the automobile, advanced education, sophisticated 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 hav
34、e to be got in the marketplace. The traditional ways of taking 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 the
35、n impractical, and the television changed the radio from 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 broug
36、ht with it increased variety in consumer goods, but not increased 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
37、 the marketplace as wage earners and consumers. The neoclassic (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)
38、stage. 48 The reason why many production processes were 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
39、 marketplace was more efficient with respect to these processes 49 It can be seen front 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
40、 home economy （ C） producing traditional goods at home became socially unacceptable （ D） the question of whether new goods and services were produced by the home economy became irrelevant 50 During the second stage, if the family wanted to consume new goods and services, they had to enter the market
41、place _. （ A） as wage earners （ B） both as manufacturers and consumers （ C） both as workers and purchasers （ D） as customers 51 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
42、 money. 52 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 his wife, and the girl must be like the one in the books written by Somerest Maugham. This ad. was at once k
43、nown by thousands of parents and young girls. Parents went to bookstores to look for the book written by Somerest Maugham. They bought those books for their daughters as presents. Girls tried to get those books to read. They wanted to know what kind of person the rich man wished for. Before long all
44、 the books written by Somerest Maugham were sold out and the writer was known all over the country. Who was the richest man? It was Somerest Maugham himself.

45、ll the true thing. （ B） He couldnt have a wife because he wasnt a good writer. （ C） He couldnt have a wife though he was rich and famous. （ D） He was well received by the girls. 53 Why did Somerest Maugham give the ad. in the newspaper? （ A） He wanted to make himself a great storywriter. （ B） He wan
46、ted to choose the best girl to be his wife. （ C） He wanted to be the best bookseller and be rich. （ D） He wanted to write more books. 54 Which of the following is NOT true? （ A） Many parents bought Maughams books for their daughters. （ B） Girls had to read those books if they hoped to be the mans wi
