题目
题型:不详难度:来源:
A businessman had two sons. While he gave the younger son a lot of love and gifts, he neglected (忽视) the elder son. It was completely puzzling (令人费解) and no one knew why.
When the boys grew up, they were asked to manage the father’s business. The elder son was absorbed in the business. From morning till late in the evening, he was busy working. Within a few years, he ran the business very well and even expanded (扩大) it.
What about the younger son? He didn"t have much to do except have a good time. But the father believed that his favorite son would be a success. If the elder son could be a successful businessman, surely the younger one, with a higher education, would do much better.
A few years later, the results of his decision became clear. Uninterested in business, the younger son continued spending his time enjoying himself. And he went out of business. But the elder son’s far smaller share (份) of business had expanded and he had proved himself to be a good decision maker.
Ashamed at the turn of events, the father met the elder son and was angry with the younger one. The elder son, who was listening to all this quietly, suddenly said he wanted to set up an independent business and live on his own.
“Why?” asked the father.
“I blame (责备) one person for the way my brother has turned out, and it’s not him. You can’t blame children for the faults (过失) of their parents, can you?” asked the elder son.
小题1:Before the younger son went into the father’s business, he______.
A.was interested in businessB.had achieved great success
C.often looked down upon his brotherD.was well-educated at school
小题2: Why did the father treat the two sons differently?
A.the elder son didn’t work hardB.no one knew why he did it
C.the younger son was hardworkingD.he wanted to do an experiment
小题3:Which is NOT the reason for the younger son’s going out of business?
A.he himself didn’t work hard
B.his father didn’t educate him properly
C.he was not interested in business at all
D.he was busy working every day
小题4:What does the text really want to teach us?
A.Parents are responsible for children’s development.
B.Once something is done, you should do it well.
C.Interest is the most important for success.
D.One has responsibility for what he himself has done.

We managed to persuade our parents to    33    us go in-line skating on our own.   34    it soon started to rain and we had to seek shelter on the empty deck (place) of a block of flats. It really dampened my     35   .

Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along their route (路线): the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
The regulations say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers  and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.
It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service  better?
Yours
Tired passenger
小题1:The writer has to take Bus No.49 because      .
A.it arrives on timeB.it is not always full

小题2:How long does the writer usually have to wait for a bus?
A.Ten minutes.B.One hour.
C.Half an hour.D.Nearly a day.
小题3:The regulations say that each bus may carry       passengers at most.
A.20B.40C.60D.129
小题4:From the passage we can see that      .
A.the bus service was poor
B.no buses except the No.49 bus passed Souk Road
C.no passengers took their buses
D.the writer was always the first to get on the bus

Mrs Amatuli was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time, Mrs Amatuli asked me if she could  36 my sandwiches.

It was  39  expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and brought the bag back home to   40 again the next day.
You can understand my   41  when I had the opportunity to buy a hot lunch. Kids always  42 about the cafeteria food but I was very  43 of them.
When we  44 lunch that day, Mrs Amatuli took me aside and said she wanted to   45 why she had bought my sandwiches. I really didn’t care why,   46 it gave me a few minutes of her precious  47  so I was very quiet as she explained.
You  48 , she was a Catholic(天主教徒) and she told me that Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays—they ate  49 on Fridays.
Oh, I couldn’t   50 to get home and tell my Mom that from then on I wanted fish on Fridays.  51 my Mom understood why, she gladly fixed fish for me on Fridays. From then on, every Friday I could get in  52 with the rest of the kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t care how many of the kids complained about the cafeteria food—it  53 great to me!

If you look up the word “create” in the dictionary , you will find it means “to bring into being, to cause something each of us does daily to exist”.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings.It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world.This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地), as well as taste, when we plan a meal.Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things.There is nothing new under the sun. The creativity is remaking or recombining(***) the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results.To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.(257 words)
