It had been placed there since my last visit, and that same day I pushed Miss Havisham in this chair (when she was tired of walking with her hand upon my shoulder) round her own room, and across the landing and round the other room, which, from that day on, became my regular job. As we began to be more used to one another, Miss Havisham talked more to me, and asked me such questions as what had I learnt and what was I going to be? I told her I was going to be apprenticed(做学徒) to Joe, my sisters husband; then I explained my knowing nothing and wanting to know everything, in the hope that she might offer some help. But, she did not; on the contrary, she seemed to prefer my being ignorant. Neither did she ever give me any money - or anything but my daily dinner - nor even mentioned that I should be paid for my services. Estella was always about, and always let me in and out, but never told me I might kiss her again. Sometimes, she would coldly tolerate me; sometimes, she would be seemingly kind to me; sometimes, she would be quite familiar with me; sometimes, she would tell me energetically that she hated me. Miss Havisham would often ask me in a whisper, or when we were alone, “Does she grow prettier and prettier, Pip?” And when I said yes, Miss Havisham would seem to enjoy it greedily. Also, when we played at cards Miss Havisham would look on Estellas moods, whatever they were. And sometimes, when her moods were so many and so contradictory of one another that I was puzzled what to say or do, Miss Havisham would hold her tightly with great fondness, saying something quietly in her ear that sounded like “Break their hearts my pride and hope, break their hearts and have no mercy!”24. What did Pip regularly do at Miss Havishams home?A. He pushed Miss Havisham in the wheel chair.B. He walked with Estellas hand upon his shoulder.C. He learned knowledge from Miss Havisham.D. He placed the garden chair on the broad landing.25. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Pip was excited to learn from Joe, his sisters husband.B. Miss Havisham felt sorry about Pips being ignorant.C. Pip desired to improve his present situation.D. Miss Havisham helped Pip by paying for his services for her.26. Whats Estellas attitude towards Pip?A. ChangeableB. SincereC. Warm-heartedD. Indifferent27. Miss Havisham held Estella tightly because _.A. she wanted to blame Estella for hurting Pip.B. she thought Estella did something right.C. she felt worried about Estellas moods. D. she treated Estella like her own daughter.C According to a survey, only 4% of the people in the world are left-handed. Why? One theory centers on the two halves of the brain. For example, the left half and the right half, each of which functions differently. Medical science believes that the left half of the brain dominates over the right half. The foundation of this theory is the fact that nerves from the brain cross over at neck-level to the opposite side of the body, and nerves from the other side of the brain reciprocate (互换). The end result is that the opposite sides of the body are controlled by the opposite sides of the brain. The dominant left half of the brain, which kindly supplies the right half of the body, theoretically makes it more skillful in reading, writing, speaking, and working, and makes most people right-handed. Lefties, however, whose right half of the brain dominates, work best with the left side of their bodies. Theory number two focuses on the asymmetrical nature of the body. Examples of the asymmetry, which flows from head to toe, are that the right side of our faces differs slightly from the left, that our legs differ in strength, or that our feet vary in size. One aspect of this asymmetry is that for most people the right hand is stronger than the left. There is no doubt that all exist in a “right-handed society”, which produces most basics, including scissors, doorknobs, locks, screwdrivers, automobiles, buttons on clothing, and musical instruments for the 96%. Left-handed people make up for the unfairness by being members of an elite (精英) society, which includes many of the greatest geniuses, including Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Left-handed people are better at speaking B. Left-handed people are believed to have stronger left halves of the brains C. Right-handed people work best with the right side of their bodies D. Right-handed people are cleverer than left-handed people 29. Which of the words or phrases is closest in meaning to the word “asymmetrical”?A. not balanced B. valuable C. not typical D. negative30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. This is an equal society for the left-handed peopleB. Most great geniuses are left-handed C. Left-handed people are considered to be disabled D. Left-handed people may feel inconvenient in this right-handed society 31. Whats the best title for the passage?A. Which proves to be the better way to live, right-handed or left-handed?B. How do left-handed people differ from right-handed ones?C. Are left-handed people equally treated in society? D. Why are some people left-handed?DIs beauty something always positive? Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive（主管的） circle, beauty can bee a disadvantage.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities required. This is true even in politics, “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, ” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates（候选人）. She asked 125 college students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males pletely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.32. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _. A. makes women look more honest and capable B. strengthens the manly qualities required C. is of no importance to womenD. often enables women to succeed quickly33. Bowmans experiment shows that when it es to politics, attractiveness _.A. turns out to be a disadvantage to menB. has as little effect on men as on womenC. affects men and women alikeD. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women 34. According to the passage, peoples views on beauty are often _.A. one sided B. practical C. old fashioned D. supportive35. The passage is mainly about _.A. the advantages of being attractiveB. the disadvantages of being attractiveC. equal rights for womenD. the importance of appearance第二小节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Having bad feeling about world? “Cheer up.” says science writer Matt Ridley. “The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.” 36 1 ) 37 It is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone. Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, and better cars. 38 This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off well be.2)Brilliant advances One reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needsfood, clothing, fuel and shelterhave grown a lot cheaper. Take one example. In 1800 a candle providing one hours light cost six hours work. In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes work to pay for. 39 Today its half second.3 )Lets not kill ourselves for climate change 40 A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change. If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necks.A. Ridley calls himself a rational optimistrational, because hes carefully weighed the evidence.B. Overreaction to climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself.C. Shopping fuels invention.D. And, of course, we earn more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us.E. In 1950 it was eight seconds.F. Its high time that we took immediate action to fight climate change.G.
