The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的)than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Soerates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus Soerates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom and knowledge for its own sake, on the other hand, advised those in government service and many of his students went on to government service.Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life, “Do not others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had some potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socraes focused on individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did. Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the munity of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.64.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. Socrates and Confucius had much in mon.B. Confucius had much influence on Socrates ideas.C. The societies were influenced by the philosophers ideas.D. There were cultured exchanges between China and Greece.65.Socate shared with Confucius the idea that .A. all men were equal when they were bornB. the lower classes should be ruled by the upper classC. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdomD. people should not ask others to do what they did not want to66. What made some people different from others according to Confucius?A. FamilyB. PotentialC. KnowledgeD. munity67.This passage is organized in the pattern of .A. time and eventsB. parison and contrast C. cause and effect D. definition and classification Modern inventions have speeded up peoples lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour. Aircraft cross the world a day, while puters operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new puter boasts（吹嘘）of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the unfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zones Again spending too long at puters results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.There was a time when some peoples lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.68.The new products bee more and more time-saving because .A. our love of speed seems never-endingB. time is limitedC. the prices are increasingly highD. the manufacturers boast a lot69.What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Imaginary life B. Simple life in the pastC. Times of inventions D. Time for constant activity70.What is the authors attitude towards the modern technology?A. Critical B. ObjectiveC. Optimistic D. Negative71. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The present and past timesB. Machines and human beingsC. Imaginations and inventionsD. Modern technology and its influence语法填空：Rivers are one of our most important natural resources.

Recently I find more and more difficult to municate with our parents on some questions. For example, I do want to have a relaxing summer vacation, and they want to send me to some training class.

Im looking forward to hear from you soon. Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place. The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and xx. It now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of areas for buying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are ing round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary. There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.61. What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to? A.Using too much packaging. B. Recycling too many wastes. C. Making more products than necessary. D. Having more material than is needed.62. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _. A. the tendency of cutting household waste B. the increase of packaging recycling C. the rapid growth of supermarkets D. the fact of packaging overuse63. According to the text, recycling _. A. helps control the greenhouse effect B. means burning packaging for energy C. is the solution to gas shortage D. leads to a waste of land64. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality. B. Supermarkets care more about packaging. C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging. D. Other products are better packaged than food.65. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult. B. Needless material is mostly recycled. C. People like collecting recyclable wasteD. The author is proud of their consumer culture. Key: 71_ 72_ 73_ 74_ 75_ Muzak The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? _71_. Its similar to the music you listen to, but its not exactly the same. Thats because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you dont even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway. Quiet background music used to be called elevator (电梯) music because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name Muzak. About one-third of the people in America listen to Muzak everyday.
