17、 A Since I moved from London and started living in the Italian countryside, I have encountered a greater variety of strange insects than I even thought existed. I have also become more of an observer. A spider built a web outside my office window. My policy these days tends to be one of live and let
18、 live. So I just let it be. Every so often, when I took a break from working, I would go to the window and there he would be; perfectly still, waiting in exactly the same place. In fact, he was there for many weeks; about three or four at least. He caught something on a couple of occasions; a moth a
19、nd a fly. However, in the last few weeks, he caught nothing at all. But he stayed there anyhow, perfectly still-waiting. I wondered if he was getting quite hungry by now. One day, I went to the window and the web was still there but the spider was gone. Hed cut his losses and moved on. I found that
20、there were s everal lessons in his behavior: (1)Persistence. How many of us give up in life when desired results dont materialize immediately? Adults are particularly prone to this in a way that children are not. Imagine if we had given up when we were learning to walk as quickly as we do these days
21、 when we try anything new! (2) Know when to quit. Persistence is important. However, knowing when its time to move on is also crucial. Someone defined insanity as “doing the same things youve always done and expecting a different result”. Clearly, this spide r was not insane. He knew when to quit. T
22、hats more than many of us know. We happily sweat away at the same situations, do things the exact same way weve always done them, but expect or hope for a different result! We dont even have the intelligenc e of a spider. Scary thought, isnt it? If I come back to your web in a couple of years time,
23、will I find you still there? Will you still be stuck in the same job, the same relationship, the same social group that you either hate or thats doing you no good at all? Unlike this little spider, many people dont know when to quit or when to move on in life to a fresh challenge. However, if we are
24、 failing to get the results we want in life, there is no point hanging around in our comfort zone, fearing the unknown. This spider did not get caught in his own web. Dont get caught in yours! 56. According to paragraph 2, we can know the author should be the man who _ A. is lazy and never cleans hi
25、s office B. focuses on spiders life style C takes care of animals D. tolerates and thinks of others 57. The underlined sentence in paragraph 4 means that _ A. the spider enjoyed quantities of delicious food and went for a walk B. the spider searched for food in a different place instead of waiting C
26、. waiting for the food in the same place made the spider exhausted and bored D. The best title of this passage should be “ _” A. research on a spider B. A spider of great achievement C. Lessons form a spider D. Love for animals B American grade 3 student Linda Brown had to walk a long way through a
27、railway yard to get to her school in Topeka, Kansas. There was another school closer to home but Linda was black and this school was for white children only. Then her father made a decision that ended in a court case which changed US society forever. It celebrated its 50th anniversary last Monday. T
28、he decision was simple: Linda was to study in the nearby all-white school. After the school refused her, Mr. Brown filed a lawsuit against the local board of education. The case, now known as “Brown versus the Board of Education”, made it all the Way to the US Supreme Court. On May 17, 1954, the cou
29、rt declared that “Separate educational facilities are unequal.” This historic ruling ended racial segregation(隔离 ) by allowing black children to go to the same schools as white children. The court said that the US Constitution guaranteed “equal protection of the laws”, and this meant equal treatment
30、 for backs and whims. This overturned a 19th century ruling that permitted “separate but equal” racial segregation. Thanks to the Brown ruling, from the late 1950s segregation was ended on a much wider scale. Buses, beaches, jobs, housing, voting black people had equal rights to white people in most
31、 areas of society. The ruling also helped improved rights for women and the disabled. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton said: “Brown was the most important court decision in US history.” In other countries, these problems may have been solved through violence, she added. To mark the 50th anniversa
32、ry of the Brown decision, a museum was opened at Linda Browns old school. Visitors get to walk through the “Tunnel of Courage”, in which they are surrounded by photos of shouting crowds and barking dogs. This gives them a taste of the hardships that Brown faced at the whites-only school. 60 Linda Br
33、own couldn t go to school closer to home because _. A Linda was black and the school was for white children only B the school in Topeki provided better education than that one closer to home C Linda s performance in study was not good and not admitted to the near school D Linda s family was too poor
34、 to afford the school s expensive tution. 61 What best describes Linda s father according to the first and the second paragraph ? A satisfied and happy B excited and moved C challengeable and positive D negative and weak 62 This passage is developed mainly _. A by example B by comparison C by contra
35、st D by time C ASK any student to say one thing they know about Charles Dickens, and it is very likely they will say Oliver Twist.His classic tale of a poor orphan boy strikes at the heart of all those who have ever wanted “more“, as Oliver did. And now, Dickens classic scenes of the lives of the Vi
36、ctorian British poor will appear in a big screen movie, “Oliver Twist,“ an adaptation of his classic tale directed by Roman Polanski. The new film is not meant for younger viwers, and is meant for children over 13. For those old enough to enjoy it, however, the film shows just how long people have b

38、who work there out of their already low pay.

He talked about the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1824 in “Oliver Twist“; the French Revolution in “A Tale of Two Cities“; a
40、nd helping the poor in “Hard Times.“One of Dickens best-known books is the first Christmas book he wrote - “A Christmas Carol“ (1843), about a mean man called We thought this would be a good time to take look at the man behind the words and se what kind of experiences helped shape and affect one of
