Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). "No," I replied, "The other fellow can't do it well.""The other fellow" was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys "while-U-wait" - without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) ,you might as well just throw away the pair.My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron (围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, "Come back in a week."I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boot off a shelf."See what I can do " he said with pride. "Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work."When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, an old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his pride in his craft.These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it "pays", when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period,it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.56Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?AHe was equipped with the best repairing tools. BHe was the only cobbler in the Marais.CHe was proud of his skills. DHe was a native Parisian.57The sentence "He was something out of an ancient legend." ( paragraph 7 ) implies that .Anowadays you can hardly find anyone like himB it was difficult to communicate with this manCthe man was very strange Dthe man was too old58According to the author, many people work just to .Arealize their abilities Bgain happinessCmake money Dgain respect59This story wants to tell us that .Acraftsmen make a lot of money Bwhatever you do, do it wellCcraftsmen need self-respect Dpeople are born equalBWill Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for Chinas higher education reform? Its too early to answer. But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education. Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students, so-called child prodigies(奇才), to begin classes on March l, .On graduating in , these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions. Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.The difficulties, however, have not frightened students and their parents away. On Dec.18, more than 1,000 students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation. Not a penny comes from the government. So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between and .The goal is to make Chinas higher education internationally competitive. To accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out. The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage. Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill.60Over 1,000 students and parents visited the school because .Athey believe that the school will have a bright futureBthey believe the government is sure to approve the schoolCthe school models itself on Hong Kong University successfullyDthey will never do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions61The trouble the students in the school may have is that .Athe government will have no voice in the schoolBthey wont receive any diploma when graduating from the schoolCother schools are unlikely to accept their diploma from the schoolDthey will not learn how to be competitive62What does the author think of Nanfang University of Science and Technology?AIt is another kind of diploma mill.BIts impossible for the school to be competitive.CIt will never get the approval from the Ministry of Education.DIts independence from the government may benefit the education reform.63What is the best title of the passage?AUniversity of New Style.

I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering(餐饮) service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then theres the “thousand-talent scheme: this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about Chinas research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. Its about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. Its not that simple.68Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?APapers were often downloaded from the Internet.BStudents often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.CCase study debates were written up as well as recited.DStudents combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.69The underlined word “scheme in the forth paragraph means .AtimetableBthemeCprojectDpolicy70We can infer from the passage that _.AChina can make and sell any product all over the worldBhigh pay may not solve the problem of Chinas research environmentCcooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brandDthe new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination 71Which is the best title of the passage?ALook for a New Way of LearningBReward Creative ThinkingCHow to Become a CreatorDEstablish a Technical EnvironmentECHICAGO Reuters - Smoking not only can wrinkle 起皱纹 the face and tarn it yellowit can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on MondayThe study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the bodyeven skin protected from the sun"We examined non - facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced," DrYolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan, who led the study, said in a statement"In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokersSimilar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years," Helfrich "s team added in their reportThe researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms They ranged, in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokersIndependent judges decided how wrinkled each person' s skin wasWhen skin is exposed to sunlight, notably the face, it becomes coarse, wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Helfrich ' s team wroteSeveral previous studies have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature过早的skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to lightThe report did not discuss die mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels 血管 beneath the skin to constrict 紧缩, reducing blood supply to the skinSmoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both die skin and the internal organs,72When your skin is exposed to sunlight long, it-becomes all of the following but _Aflexible Bcoarse Crough Ddiscolored73How wrinkled a person's skin is doesn't relate to _Athe number of cigarettes a person smokes Bthe kind and characteristics of skinChow long a person smokes Dhow long skin is under sunlight74From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly because _.Ait will lower blood supply to skin Bit can make you feel tiredCit can make skin come off Dit can make blood run faster75The main purpose of the passage is to _Ainform people about the result of the study Badvise people how to protect skinCwarn people not to smoke again Dintroduce a new way of avoid skin aging2·省上高高三第六次月考第三局部 阅读理解共20小题：每题2分，总分值40分 阅读以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AThe Worst PartMom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house. I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.I kept looking at the telephone until I couldnt stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dads number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didnt, I said, feeling I had to talk to him.“Take it easy, kid, he said. “I just didnt get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isnt over yet.I thought about that.“Something on your mind? he asked.“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited. Then I was sorry I said it.“There was heavy snow in the morning, he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.I know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun. I felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “How is Bandit? I asked.There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.“Well, kid, he began. “My name is Leigh! I almost yelled. “Im not just some kid you met on the street!“Keep your shirt on, Leigh, he said. “When I had
