題目列表(包括答案和解析)

One day a man found a cocoon(繭) of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.

The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid(流體) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle (拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.

How would we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous (冒險的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn't a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.
So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines. And it was much more logical (合理的) to use time, not distance, to measure (計量) journeys: the next village is a three-hour ride, for example.
In fact, in the earliest maps, people didn't draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions.
The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design (設(shè)計) for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933, 700,000 copies were printed.
These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly, using a GPS. It's really difficult to get lost!
【小題1】What was drawn in the earliest maps?

A．Stars.
B．Landmarks.
C．Cities and towns,
D．Mountains and rivers.
【小題2】When did road maps come out?
A．Around 15th and 16th centuries.
B．When people began to travel by train.
C．When people began to travel by sea.
D．When cities and towns appeared.
【小題3】Which of the following is true?
A．A GPS helped people to travel long time ago.
B．Ancient people could travel on a horse without maps.
C．The sky was polluted by light before cities were built.
D．Henry Beck's map wasn't popular with the passengers.
【小題4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Maps have a long history.
B．We never get lost these days.
C．We can't travel without maps.
D．Henry Beck designed a new map.

　　For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead．“We can do without railways．” people say as if motorcars(汽車)and planes have made the railways unnecessary．We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they’re dying．But this is far from the truth．In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes．If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes．And they have much in common with planes．A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway．What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another．It doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city centre．It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams．And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do．

　　The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student in English“You speak very good English”．But the student answered,“No, no．My English is very poor．”The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer．Thinking he had not made himself understand or the student had not heard him clearly, he said,“Yes, indeed, you speak very well．”But the Chinese student still kept saying“No”．In the end the foreigner gave up and didn't know what to say．

　　What is wrong with the student's answer?It is because he didn't accept a compliment as the English people do．He should have said“Thank you”instead of“No”He actually understood what the American had said．But he thought he should be modest．If he said“Thank you”, that would mean he was too proud．According to the Western culture, if someone says the dishes, you have cooked are very delicious, you should say“Thank you”．If someone says to a woman“You look so beautiful with the new clothes on”, she should be very happy and answer“Thank you”．In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad thing．But in the West, if you are modest and say“No, I'm afraid I can't do it well”, then the others will take it for granted that you really can-not do it．If you often say“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by others．If asking for a job, one says something like“Yes, I can certainly do it”instead of“Let me have a try on the job”, he or she will expect to get it．So in the West, one should always be confident．Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere．Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competitions is quite keen．

[　　]

(4)

Why does a man in the West who asks for a job say something like“Yes, I can certainly do it”?
