The young people concerned usually favored love, and their parents usually favored money. In the no
16、vels of the period the dilemma was felicitously(巧妙地)solved by the discovery, 【B2】 the last page 【B3】 the apparently 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 daugh
17、ters should marry for love, took care 【B6】 all the young men they met should be rich. This method was sometimes very successful; it was adopted, for example, by my maternal grandfather, who had 【B7】 romantic daughters, none of 【B8】 married badly.In there days of psychology the matter no 【B9】 looks s
18、o simple as it did eighty years ago. We realize now that money may be the cause, or part of the cause, 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 marri
19、ed a rich widow, much 【B12】 than himself, and 【B13】 by the world to be rather silly. Owing 【B14】 her, he washable 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 marri
20、ed life he was deeply and genuinely devoted 【B16】 her. I do not suppose he would have loved her 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 ba
21、sed upon the fact that its object is a help in 【B18】 the purposes of the person who feels it. 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 ins

25、(回收利用) because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute (垃圾道 )? You wont be for long. Miamis Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.In Shantzis Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can
26、turn a round when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes.The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recyclin
27、g materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors chute doors and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a part
28、icular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables.Sorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wa
29、sted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more costeffective.56 The purpose in writing this text is _.（A）to encourage people to recycle their rubbish（B） to introduce a recycling system for high rises（C） to describe the use of computer technology in recycling（D）to explai
30、n the need for rubbish collection in high rises57 When he says “You wont be for long“ the writer means that _.（A）youll soon be living in a cleaner building（B） rubbish chutes will become out of date before long（C） you wont wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish（D）it wont be long before youll have
31、 to recycle your rubbish58 Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to _.（A）lock the other floors chute doors（B） check ff the container is full（C） press the correct button（D）break up the rubbish59 The biggest advantage of this new system is that _.（A）it reduce the cost of recycling（B） it save
32、s time and space（C） it saves money for people in high rises（D）it makes better use of the existing recovery equipment60 Culture unchangingly molds(影响) human biology. Culture encourages certain activities, discourages others, and sets standards of physical health and attractiveness. Sports activity, w
33、hich is influenced by culture, help build phenotyep(具有共型的一类有机物). American girls are encouraged to pursue-and so, they do well in-competitive track and field, swimming, and diving. Brazilian girls are encouraged to avoid public activities. In Brazil fewer females swim, drive, and run than is the case
34、 in America. Culture standards of attractiveness also affect athletic activities. Americans nm or swim not just to compete but to keep trim(漂亮的) and fit. Brazils beauty standards accept more fat, especially in female buttocks and hips. Years of swimming mold an enlarged upper torso, a massive neck,
35、and powerful shoulders and back. Successful women swimmers tend to be big, strong, hard and bulky, but Brazilian culture says that women should be soft. A Brazilian beauty should have big hips and buttocks rather than big shoulders. So Brazil seldom sends female swimmers or runners to the Olympics.
36、The countries that produce successful female swimmers are the United States, Germany, and Russia or any other one but not Latin countries including Brazil.60 What is the main topic of the passage?（A）Brazil seldom sends female swimmers or runners to the Olympics.（B） Cultural standards of attractivene
37、ss also affect athletic activities.（C） The effects of culture on standards of physical health and attractiveness.（D）The effects of culture on human biology.61 Why does Brazil seldom send female swimmers to the Olympics?（A）Because successful women swimmers tend to be big, strong, hard and bulky, but
38、Brazilian culture says that women should be soft.（B） Because Brazilian women dont like swimming and running.（C） Because Brazils beauty standards accept less fat, expecially in female buttocks and hips.（D）Because Brazilian girls are encouraged to take part in public activities.62 What does the word “
39、females“ probably mean in this passage?（A）Women.（B） People.（C） Boys.（D）Men.63 From the passage, we can infer that _.（A）Female swimmers from Latin countries are unlikely to be successful in the Olympics.（B） American girls are encouraged to pursue competitive track and field, swimming and driving.（C）
40、Female swimmers from the U. S. and Germany are likely to be successful in the Olympics.（D）Culture emcourages certain activities, discourages others, and sets standards of physical health and attractiveness.64 The name Hallowe en comes from the original “hallowed“ (or holy) “evening“. Many of the cus
41、toms of Hollowe en date back to ancient times when people believed in magic and superstition.In ancient Ireland, people believed that on this night the dead could return to earth as witches, ghosts, black cats or in other strange forms. These creatures would perform all sorts of wicked mischief. The
42、y were creatures of the night, and any form of light was a protection against them. People made special lanterns, which they placed by windows and doors to keep the evil spirits away. In time, these lanterns came to be made out of hollowed-out pumpkins with a scary face carved on one side and a cand
43、le placed in the center. These are known as “Jack-o-lanterns.“Hallowe en superstitions were brought over to America in the nineteenth century and have now been trans formed into a creative seasonal celebration. Children dress up as ghosts and witches. On the evening of October 31st, they nm from hou
44、se to house calling out “nick or treat.“ Neighbours give them candy (“treats“) and if they do not the children might play a “trick“ on them, like dusting flour over their doorstop; or making a lot of noise outside their windows. Adults also dress up and go to costume parties where they might receive
45、 prices for the best or scariest costume.People decorate their houses with cut-outs of ghosts, witches, skeletons and spiders webs, as well as beautifully carved pumpkins. Stores sell all sorts of goods in the typical Hallowe en colors of orange and black. You can also buy pumpkin pie, pumpkin cooki
46、es and even pumpkin ice cream!64 Hallowe en might began in _.（A）the 19 th century（B） ancient Ireland（C） America（D）England65 According to the second paragraph, we know that the creatures probably fear _ most.（A）people（B） pubpkings（C） night（D）light66 _ can be a “treat“, according to the text.（A）Candy（

Since I work from 9:00 to 5: 00, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45 minutes lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service be
