He went to 31 , taking classes twice a week until his death last summer. As a student, my grandfather spent countless hours in his office 32 and completi
18、ng assignments. Although he was twice as 33 as his professors, he loved going. He said,“ You can never 34 too much, no matter how old you are.” He loved everything about school. Learning new things was truly his passion. My grandfathers will to learn was a great 35 for me to do my best in school. We

25、 and no one knows how the people who live on these islands came to be there. They are very much like people who once lived in Peru on the west coast of South America. There is a legend that, when their country was attacked and conquered, these people left Peru on rafts and set off across the sea to
26、the west. The legend was that they were taken across the sea by one of their ancestors, Tike, son of the sun. A Norwegian, Thor Heyerdahl, believed that they may have reached the South Pacific islands. He noticed that they would have been taken in that direction by strong winds and currents, even th
27、ough they had only simple rafts made of very light wood called balsa-wood. His idea was laughed at but he decided to prove it. With five other brave men, he built a raft just like the one Tike would have used, and they set out to repeat the great voyage across 4,000 miles of open sea, which they bel
28、ieved Tikes people once made. Heyerdahls raft was made of nine balsa- wood logs tied together with ropes. The longest log was 45 feet long. No nails were used, for nails would not have been used by Tikis men, and the raft was called“ Kon-Tiki” . They took on board such food as fruit and dried food a
29、nd coconuts, but they expected to live mainly on fish. They took a parrot as a pet. When all was ready, the raft with the six young men aboard was towed out from Callal harbor in Peru, and cast off at the mercy of winds and currents. Their greatest danger was of falling overboard, as they realized t
30、oo well when their precious parrot was blown overboard in a storm and lost. The light raft was driven along at so great a speed by the wind and current that it could not possibly be stopped, so whatever went overboard was almost certain to be lost. After three months at sea they saw their first isla
31、nd and smelled smoke from a fire. They had reached the Pacific islands of Tuamotu, just as Heyerdahl had hoped. 46 According to the passage, it is still unknown . A in what way people came to live on the South Pacific islands. B how people live on the South Pacific islands C whether the people livin
32、g on the South Pacific islands are like the people living in Peru D how many islands there are in the South Pacific Ocean 47 Heyerdahl decided to prove that A Tiki was son of the sun B the South Pacific islands were once part of South America C Tiki was one of the ancestors of the Norwegians D peopl
33、e from Peru reached the South Pacific islands on rafts 48 Falling overboard was most dangerous because A none of then could swim B they could not stop the raft C two of the men had fallen into the sea D there was only one lifebelt on board B Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone t
34、ells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say,“ I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery（抽奖） . It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundr
35、ed dollars!” This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser! He didnt say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not te
36、chnically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic(策略 ). Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an as sayi
37、ng, “ During Government Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” Thats true. However an honest statement would have been, “ During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net(净余的 )gain of two million jobs.” Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false claims so t
38、hey try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might say, “ Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples(丘疹 ).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life:
39、Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well. 49 Which statement is true according to the article? A Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying. B You cant trust gamblers(赌博的人 ) C All governors help their states. D The truth can be used in dishonest ways 50 The author clearly wa
40、nts people to . A think carefully about what they read and hear B know that lies are lies C never trust anyone D vote for females candidates 51 Which of the following would be the best title? A Yucky Corporation B Everyone Lies C Lying With the Truth D Nose Pimples C In the 1960s Professor Bolin pre
41、dicted that the “ greenhouse effect” , caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, would lead to important changes in the Earths climate. At the time his prediction were regarded as science fiction. But it is now gradually agreed that the amount of carbon dioxide i
42、n the atmosphere will double from 0.03% to 0.06% in the next 50 years and that temperatures worldwide will rise by 2 Celsius. Although a temperature rise of 2 may not seem significant, the local effects may be much greater: in polar regions a rise of 10 by 2025 is expected and in Northern Europe a r
43、ise of 4 . Indeed the first effects were expected to be felt before the end of the 20th century, But how does the “ greenhouse effect” operate and why should such a tiny proportion（比例） of CO2 have such a harmful effect? When living creatures breathe out or when things are burned, CO2 enters the atmo
44、sphere. Until recently all of this was absorbed by plants, which converted it back into oxygen. However, the balance of nature has been disturbed. In power stations, in factories and in our cars, we are burning more and more fossil fuels( coal, oil and natural gas ) and this produces huge quantities
45、 of CO2-18 billion tons of it enter the atmosphere every year. Added to this, the destruction of forests means that less CO2 can be converted into oxygen by plants. So, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year. 52 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
46、? A Professor Bolins predictions were taken seriously in the first place B Only a small portion of the atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide C No changes in climate will become noticeable for 50 years or more D The rise in temperature will probably be 2 degrees in every part of the world. 53 The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year because . A Carbon dioxide is produced when we breathe B Carbon dioxide is produced when we burn things C More forests are destroyed and more fossil fuels are burned D The gl
