阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项 a. a traveler lost his way and got off the highway to see where he was. as he drove by, he saw rows and rows of pigpens and pigs running in fields. suddenly, his eyes caught something really strange. it looked like a pig with a wooden leg. he drove up into the arm, where he met the farmer. “ excuse me, ” the traveler said. “ i was just driving by and looking at all your pigs, and i just had to stop and ask about it. tell me, is there really a pig out there with a wooden leg?” the farmer smiled. “ oh, that would be old caesar you saw. hes the finest pig ive ever had -and smart! well, let me tell you a little about that pig.” “ one night a couple of years ago i got to drinking and i guess i had more than i should have. i fell down and knocked over a lamp. that started a fire in the house and old caesar smelled the smoke. he came in the back door, got the wife and kid out, roused me up and got me out. there is no question about it - that night old caesar saved all our lives. you know that im not going to forget it too easily.” “ why,” the traveler said, “ this is amazing! i have never heard of a pig like this before! this is fantastic! but tell me, how did he get that wooden leg?” the farmer laughed and said, “ well, when you have a pig so smart, you dont want to eat him all at one time!”56. the farmer thought the pig _. a. very fat b. very clever c. very kind d. very strange57. the passage indicates that _. a. the pig lost a leg in the fire b. the farmer deeply thanked the pig c. the pig had a very good keeper d. the real leg had been eaten by the farmer58. the author wants to _. a. report a piece of news b. tell us a moving story c. tell us a humorous story d. have a joke with usb i have been very lucky to have won the nobel prize twice. it is, of course, very exciting to have such an important recognition of my work, but the real pleasure was in the work itself. scientific research is like an exploration of a voyage of discovery. you are continually trying out new things that have not been done before. many of them will lead nowhere and you have to try something different, but sometimes an experiment does work and tells you something new and that is really exciting. however small the new finding may be, it is great to think “ i am the only person who knows this” and then you will have the fun of thinking what this finding will lead to and deciding what will be the next experiment. one of the best things about scientific research is that you are always doing something different and it is never boring. there are good times when things go well and bad times when they dont .some people get discouraged at the difficult times but when i have a failure, my policy has always been not to worry but to start planning the next experiment, which is always fun it is very exciting to make a new discovery. some people will do the strangest things for this excitement, such as going round the world in a balloon or walking to the north pole. there are not many new places to explore but there is a lot of new information to be discovered in science and a journey into this unknown area can be much more worthwhile and just as exciting. i am sometimes asked, “what do you have to do to win a nobel prize?” my answer is: “i dont know. i have never tried.” but i know of one way not to win one. there are some people whose main reason for doing science is to win prizes and they are always thinking about how to do it. such people dont succeed. to do good science you must be interested in it and enjoy doing experiments and thinking out problems. an, of course, you must be prepared to work hard and not to be too discouraged by failure.59. in the writers eyes his greatest pleasure in all his lifetime is _. a. to win the nobel prize for the first time b. to be awarded the nobel prize for the second time.c. in the work itselfd. to have a much more important recognition of his work.60. why did the writer think scientific research to be one of the best things?a. you will be able to win the nobel prize through the scientific researchb. you can make as much money as possible by doing the scientific research.c. you may continue doing with something different and exciting, so you can never be tired of doing the scientific research.d. you can get much more chances of promotion by making the scientific research.61. what would the writer do when he had a failure?a. he would forget this failure and start the next experiment.b. he used to be worried about it for several days and never forget it.c. he always gave up his study as the result of the failure.d. he used to think out the reasons and then continue to do it again.62. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the writer could still keep calm when he heard the news that he had won the nobel prize.b. the writer always gave up his courage when he met with some difficulties in the course of his scientific research.c. in the field of science there are still many new things which need to be studied further.d. there are still many exciting places to explore in the world.cadvertisement share

w friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving youre right and he is wrong, or by making him the first to apologize.in reality, youll both lose if you let your fight ruin your friendship, and you will both win if you find a way to heal it._72_ you may have heard the expression “ his pride stood in the way.” it is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “right” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever. _73_ remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.take the first step. are you sick of fighting? do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship? _74_ you dont have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. but you should find something you did or said thats worth apologizing for. maybe youre sorry that you let the fight go for so long, or that you overreacted to something your friend did. if you say youre sorry, its like an invitation for your friend to do the same. _75_.a. then
