APesca was the smallest human being I ever saw. He had left Italy for political reasons, and had been working as a teacher in London for many years.The ruling idea of Pesca’s life was to show his thanks to the country that had given him a shelter by doing his best to turn himself into an Englishman. He desired to become an Englishman in his habits and amusements, as well as in his personal appearance. Finding us distinguished, as a nation, by our love of athletic exercises, the little man devoted himself to all our English sports and recreations.I saw him risk his life blindly in the sea at Brighton where we were bathing together. If we had done any exercise unique to my own nation I would have looked after Pesca carefully; but as foreigners are generally quite as well able to take care of themselves in the water as Englishmen, it never occurred to me that the art of swimming might add one more to the list of manly exercises which he believed that he could learn on the spot.Soon after we had both struck out from shore, I stopped, finding my friend didn’t follow me. To my amazement, I saw nothing but two little arms struggling above the surface of the water. I dived and pulled him back to the shore. When he recovered, his warm Southern nature broke. He declared that he should never be happy again until he offered me some service which I might remember to the end of my days.Little did I think then that the opportunity of serving me was soon to come; that he was eager to seize it; and that by so doing he was to turn my existence into a new channel. If I had not dived for Professor Pesca when he lay under water, I should never, perhaps, have heard even the name of the woman, who now directs the purpose of my life.1.The author didn’t look after Pesca carefully when bathing in the sea due to the fact that .A. he was sure that Pesca was a very good swimmerB. foreigners were generally bathing not far from the shoreC. he was sure that Pesca would learn to swim on the spotD. they both had done the unusual English exercise before2.The bathing accident was mentioned mainly to show that .A. the author was quite helpful to those in needB. one can never be too careful when bathing in the seaC. Pesca sometimes acted rather thoughtlesslyD. showing off one’s manly behavior may cause others trouble3.Why did Pesca want to do the author some favor?A. He would have died without the author’s he lp.B. He treated the author as his best friend.C. He enjoyed doing something unforgettable.D. His warm nature made him so.4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Pesca missed an opportunity to reward the author.B. Pesca met a woman who later directed his life.C. Pesca turned his existence into a new channel.D. Pesca changed the author’s life completely.BOrder now, you can get a 20% discount. More information, please click here.5.

Philip's Solar System Observer's GuideB. The Ruby in the SmokeC. Northern LightsD. The Firework-maker's Daughter8. The text above is probably taken from _________.A. a bookB. a websiteC. a newspaperD. a magazineCPublic don’t trust scientists partly because it is not clear what is science and what is technology, what is discovered and what is manufactured. Most governments, perhaps all governments, prove the value of public spending on scientific research in terms of the economic benefits the scientific research has brought in the past and will bring in the future. Politicians remind their voters of the wonderful machines o ur scientists have invented, the new drugs to relieve old diseases, and the new medical equipment and techniques by which previously incurable conditions may now be treated and lives saved.At the same time, the politicians demand that scientists suit their research to economic needs, and that they put in the first place research proposals that are “near the market” and can be translated into the greatest return in the shortest time. Dependent on politicians for much of their funding, scientists have little choice but to obey. Like the rest of us, they are members of a society that values the creation of wealth. Many have different opinions, but keep them to themselves.In such circumstances no one should be too hard on people who are doubtful about conflicts of interest. When we learn that the distinguished professor trying to convince us of the safety of a particular product is a consultant (顾问) of the company making it, we cannot be blamed for wondering whether the money he receives from the company might cloud his professional judgment. Even if the professor holds no consultancy with any firm, some people may still distrust him because of his association with those who do, or at least wonder about the source of some ofhis research funding.This attitude can have damaging effects. It questions the honesty of individuals working in a profession that thinks intellectual honesty is the most important. This makes it easier to distrust all scientific statements, especially those made by the scientists who present themselves as experts. The scientist most likely to understand the safety of a nuclear reactor, for example, is a nuclear engineer, and a nuclear engineer is mostly likely to be employed by the nuclear industry. If a nuclear engineer declares that a reactor is unsafe, we believe him, because clearly it is not to his advantage to lie about it. If he tells us it is safe, on the other hand, we distrust him, because he may well be protecting the employer who pays his salary.9.What is the chief concern of most governments when it comes to scientific research?A. The budget for a research project.B. Support from the voters.C. The reduction of public spending.D. Quick economic returns.10.Scientists have to adapt their research to economic needs in order to .A. translate knowledge into wealthB. impress the public with their achievementsC. obtain funding from the governmentD. turn the value of their existence into reality11.According to the author, people doubt the professional judgment of scientists because .A. they could be influenced by their association with the project concernedB. sometimes they hide the source of their research fundingC. some of them do not put intellectual honesty in the first placeD. their statements often turn out to be wrong12.Why does the author say that public distrust of scientists can have damaging effects?A. It makes things difficult for scientists seeking research funds.B. People would not believe scientists even when they tell the truth.C. It may discourage scientists from doing independent research.D. Scientists themselves may doubt the value of their research findings.DObviously your mom had it right when she threatened to wash your mouth out with soap if you talked dirty. Lying really does create a desire to clean the “dirty” body part, according to a study by University of Michigan.“The references to ‘dirty hands’ or ‘dirty mouths’ in everyday language suggest that people think about abstract issues of moral purity in terms of more experiences with physical purity,” said Spike W.S. Lee, a U-M doctoral candidate, who conducted the study with Norbert Schwarz, a psychologist.For the study, Lee and Schwarz asked 87 students to play the role of lawyers competing with a colleague, “Chris”, for a promotion. Each was asked to imagine they found an important document that Chris had lost, and that returning the document would help his career and hurt their own career. Each participant was instructed to leave Chris a message by either voice mail or e-mail, telling him who they were and either lying that they could not find his document or telling the truth that they had found the document.Next, participants rated the desirability of several products and reported how much they were willing to pay for each product. The products included mouthwash (漱口剂) and hand sanitizer (洗手液).Study participants who lied on the phone, leaving an untrue and mean voice mail, felt a stronger desire for mouthwash and were willing to pay more for it than those who lied on e-mail. And conversely, those who lied on e-mail, typing the same mean message, felt a stronger desire for hand sanitizer and were willing to pay more for that. Saying nice and morally correct things, on the other hand, made it less appealing to clean the body part involved in conveying the message. Verbal lying increased participants assessment of mouthwash while lying on e-mail, using their hands, increased the assessment of hand sanitizer’s value. “This study shows not only do people want to clean after a dirty deed, but they want to clean the specific body part involved,” Schwarz said.13.The study proved that .A. there is a need to clean the body part that liesB. the cleaner you are, the fewer lies you will tellC. mothers care for their children’s mouth cleanD. telling a lie makes you want to have a bath14.According to the passage, Chris is .A. a mouthwash and hand sanitizer sellerB. a famous careless lawyerC. a college studentD. an imaginary character15.If you tell a lie by writing, you might wash .A. your eyesB. your handsC. your headD. your feet第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
