17、從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項。 AAt the age of fifty, Theodore Roosevelt, a truly great president, made this comment: "Now I am fifty years old, and if I stopped learning, and stopped trying to better myself, I feel that my usefulness to the community would be pretty nearly at an end." Those

18、who have studied the life of Theodore Roosevelt know that he never did stop learning. He was eager to learn all his life.    Many people have the mistaken idea that age is a handicap(障礙)when it comes to learning that you gradually lose your ability to learn as you grow older. Surveys show

19、that the ability to learn does not diminish greatly after 20, said Dr. C. Ellis Nelson, a well-known professor in Texas. These tests show, said Dr. Nelson, that in terms of reading and vocabulary there is no significant difference between being 20 or being 60. People aged 20 may show greater facilit

20、y for mathematics, but this is due almost entirely to the fact that 20-year-olds use math all the time, while 60-year-olds dont.   As you grow older, or if you have already reached or passed middle age, dont fool yourself with the idea that the ability to learn diminishes with age. It just

21、 isnt true! You can learn and grow intellectually(智力地)as long as you want to progress and you can continue to do so as long as you are alive. That is one of the truly exciting facts of life.   Cato, a wise man of ancient Rome, was forever seeking new intellectual worlds to conquer, and at

22、about 80 he started to study Greek. When a doubter asked him why he was beginning such a difficult task at such an advanced age, Cato replied calmly and firmly: "It is the youngest age I have left. I enjoy it." and went on with his studies. In the end, he reached his goal.    &qu

23、ot;Age," said E. L. Thorndike, a famous psychologist, "is not a handicap to learning." You never grow too old to learn.41. Theodore Roosevelt didnt stop learning at fifty because_. A he felt he was usefulB. he was encouraged by his great commentC. he believed he was never too old to l

24、earnD. he wanted to show his value to the community 42. 20-year -old people show greater facility for mathematics than 60-year-old people because _. A. they are better educated than the latterB. they like maths more than the latterC. they use maths more often than the latter D. theyre required to le

25、arn more maths skills than the latter43. The underlined word "diminish" in the second paragraph probably means"_". A. become smaller or weaker B. grow little by littleC. increase      D. disappear 44. From the passage we can infer that ancient Greek was _. A.

26、very interesting B. difficult to learn C. a useful language D. very fashionable BWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of

27、 where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly impo

28、rtant for young children. Many child psychologists (心理學家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing

29、 to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolis

30、h things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”45. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _ while “dull” in the second paragr

31、aph means _.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless46. According to the context we can guess that a genius is _ while an idiot is _.A. a normal person; a funny personB. a strong p

32、erson; a weak personC. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded personD. a famous person; an ordinary person47. A person _ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a goo

33、d brain and putting it into active use48. It is better for parents _.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible49. Which of the following is NOT true accordin

34、g to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their childrens growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.贊同CIt was a village in India . The

35、people were poor. However , they were not unhappy .After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries. Then one day. Some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frogs legs . However , they did not have enough frogs

36、of their own ,and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing .There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them .Agreement was reached ,and the children were sent into the fields to catch

37、frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time , the people were able to dream of a batter future ,But the dream didnt last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that th

38、e children fell ill more ofen, and, there seeemed to be more insects around lately.The vilagers decided that they couldnt just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(殺蟲劑) and medicines.Soon there was no money left.Then t

39、he people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadnt been useless.They had been doing an important job-eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases. Now, the peoplele are still poor.But in t

40、he evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs.These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning .50. From paragraph I we learn that the villagers _.A.worked very hard for centuries B. dreamed of having a better lifeC.were poor but somewhat content D.live

41、d a different life from their forefathers51. why did the villagers agree to sell frogs ?A the frogs were easy money B They needs money to buy medicine C they wanted to please the visitors D.the forgs made too much noise 52. what might be the cause if the childrens sickness?A the crops didint dowell

42、B.there were too many insectsC .the visits brought in diseases D.the pesticides were overused53. what can we infor from the last sentence of the text ?A. hapiness comes from peaceful life in the countryB.Health is more important than moneyC.the harmoney betwwenn man and nature is importantD. good ol

43、d day will never be forgottenDWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技術). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will co

44、me mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today's leading killers, such as heart diseases, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memory. In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological ev

45、ent of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(細胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of

46、 brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs(器官). The medicine, made up of the basic build

47、ing materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on-in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones. It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic conditional human existence, but many technical problem

48、s still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future. 54. According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by _. A. diseases and aging B. accidents and warC. accidents and aging D. heart diseases and war55. In the author's opinion, today's most important advance in techno

49、logy lies in _. A. medicine B. the internet C. brain cells D. human organs56. Humans may live longer in the future because _. A. heart disease will be far away from usB. human brains can decide the final deathC. the basic materials of cells will last foreverD. human organs can be repaired by new med

50、icine57. We can learn from the passage that _. A. human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB. human have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsEWh

51、en students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority （優(yōu)先）. This view is shortsi

52、ghted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students. Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely

53、 as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society. Music provides a kind of perception（感

54、知）that cannot be acquired any other way . Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive（情感的） meaning of the same phenomenon . We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. The arts are for

55、ms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give

56、 form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize. 58. According to Paragraph 1, students_. A. regard music as a
