13、D. 5 BLondons Chinese community (社区) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors (水手) moved to the city to work in Lime house, east London. As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Lime house began to be known as Chinatown. At the start of the 20th centu

14、ry, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain. However, this situation changed greatly after the Second World War. At this time, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs, and decided to move to London. In the 1950s, a small Chinese restaurant opened in central London. Many British people visite

15、d it and said that Chinese food was wonderful. Suddenly, Chinese restaurants started opening in every part of the city.

21、ife COne day while walking along the bank of a river, a rabbit couple saw a wounded(受伤的) ant lying unconsciously(没有直觉地) on the grass. The rabbit couple gently put the ant on the leaf of a nearby plant. She soon recovered(恢复) and saw the rabbit couple sitting beside her. The ant remembered that she h

22、ad found herself under the foot of a cat by chance and fainted(晕倒). She asked how she reached the leaf top. The rabbit couple told her what had happened. The ant thanked them and said she would help them when they needed help.The rabbit couple went further up the river to enjoy the bright sun. They

23、had been there many times and would spend many hours playing and relaxing in the sun.One fine day, the couple were again on their way to the river while the ant was playing on the leaf of a tree. She saw the rabbit couple walking towards the river. A few hours later she saw them sleeping peacefully

24、on the soft grass by the river. Suddenly she saw a lion moving towards the grass where the rabbit couple were sleeping. The lion saw the rabbits sleeping, and started walking quietly to attack them.Realizing the hazard getting close to the rabbits, the ant jumped from the leaf to the lions shoulder

25、and bit(咬) the lions back. The lion cried out in pain, waking the rabbit couple. The rabbits ran away quickly and the ant jumped off the lions back into the grass.A white pigeon(鸽子) who watched this event cheered at the courage(勇气) of the ant and told the whole story to the rabbits.

26、e were moved and thanked the ant. They became best friends.29. The underlined word “hazard” in the fifth paragraph probably means “_”.A. realityB. warningC. experienceD. danger30.

29、th a catC. the rabbit couple and the ant knew each other very well beforeD. the rabbit couple often went to the riverDEducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern

30、countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid, one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larg

31、er number of people with university degrees; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor

32、; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we would get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we are educated in such a way th

33、at, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, that we realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.33. The writer of this passage

34、thinks that_.A. free education for all probably leads to a perfect worldB. free education can solve all of the worlds problemsC. free education wont help to solve social problemsD. all the social problems cant be solved by free education 34. The writer wants to prove that _.A. a farmer is more impor

35、tant than a professor B. our society needs all kinds of jobs C. our society needs free education for allD. people with university degrees earn more money35.

36、we cant regard work with hands as low work36. The purpose of education is _.A. to prepare children for their future life B. to let everyone receive education C. to choose a system of educationD. to prepare children for well-paid jobs EIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surpr

37、ised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then wal

38、k off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they woul

39、d do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agre

40、ed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passe

41、ngers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do,

42、living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?37. While taking a taxi in Finland, _.A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. a passenger pays two US d

43、ollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying38.

44、or any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for food D. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.

45、 bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.40.

All the students nearly fell out of their chairs, 41 me. “Dont be 42 . Only geniuses (天才) can become writers,” the English teacher said sarcastically(讽刺地). “And you are getting a D this term.” I was 43 deeply and I burst into tears.That night I wrote a short, sad poem about 44 dreams and mailed it to the Cappers Weekly newspaper.
