    Passage Five

    Jim was intelligent, but he hated hard work. He said, "You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lots of money and that the government doesn't know about".

    So he became a thief--but he did not do the stealing himself. He got others to do it. They were much less intelligent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do.

    One day they were looking for rich families to rob, and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house just outside the town.

    It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he saw a young man and a girl playing on a piano.

    When he went back to Jim, he said, "That family can't have much money. Two people were playing on the same piano there."

    52. What Jim said can be said to be______.

    A. an excuse

    B. a lie

    C. a joke

    D. a truth


    正确答案:A

    此题为推论题,从一开始就看到吉姆是一个聪明人,但是却希望不劳而获,于是他当起了小偷的头,因此推论,他所说的话只是借口。

  • 第18题:

    根据下面资料,回答
    A proverb from ancient China was widely spread in the West: "If you want to be happy for a few hours, go to get drunk; if you want the happiness to last three years, get married; if you want lifetime happiness, take up gardening." The reason for the last is this: Gardening is not only useful, but it helps you to identify yourself with nature, and thus brings you new joy each day besides improving your health.
    A research of a US university that I′ve read gives a definition of happiness as what makes a person feel comfortably pleased. To put it simply, happiness is an active state of mind where one thinks one′ s life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable. This should be something lasting rather than transitory.
    Lots of people regard it the happiest to be at leisure. But according to a study, it is not a person with plenty of leisure but one at work that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time for leisure. Happiness does not mean gains one is after but a desire to harvest what one is seeking for. People often do not treasure what they already have but desire what they cannot get. That is somewhat like a man with fond dreams of numerous lovers while unwilling to settle down with the woman beside him.
    Happiness is a game balancing between two ends--what one has and what one wishes for, i.e. one′s dream and the possibility to realize it. The study comes to this conclusion: A happy man is one who aims high but never forgets his actual situation; one who meets challenges that develop his ability and potentiality; one who′s proud of his achievements and the recognition given to him. He has self-respect and self-confidence; treasures his own identity and loves freedom. He is sociable and enjoys wide range communication with others; he′s helpful and ready to accept assistance. He knows he is able to bear sufferings and failures; he is sensible enough to get fun from daily work. He is a man capable of love and passion.
    Who is more likely to be unhappy according to the study?

    A.The man who is ambitious regardless of his actual situation.
    B.The one who has self-esteem and has confidence in himself.
    C.The one who can take pleasure in communicating with others.
    D.The one who always helps others and also accepts help from others.

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题。根据文章最后一段内容,幸福的人是既能够树立高远的目标,又不会忘记实际情况的人;幸福的人是自尊、自信的人,他认可自己。并且热爱自由。幸福的人善于社交,并且能够从与其他人进行的广泛交流中得到乐趣;幸福的人热心助人,并且愿意接受别人的帮助。只有A项与文意不符,故选A。

    We reckoned there was only one man who is fit for the post.

    A:figured
    B:believed
    C:encountered
    D:understood

    答案:B
    解析:
    本句意思:“我们认为只有一个人胜任这份工作。” believe:相信,例如 Don't believe what you read in the papers.不要相信你在报纸上看到的东西。figure:估计,例如 She figured that both she and Diana had learned a lot from the experience.她觉得自己和戴安娜都从这一经历中学到了很多东西。encounter:遭遇,例如:The two of them had an encounter of wits.他们俩偶然地展开了一场斗智。understand:理解,例如:They are too young to understan what is going on.他们还太小,不明白发生了什么事。
