19、 Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Passage OneSome people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own.My mom was one of those people.When I was nine years old, my mom became a single mother.

20、While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. But she gave me a lot of love. Each night, she spoke the words that would change my life, Kemmons，you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day,

21、 my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school-walking on my own!When the Great Depress

22、ion hit, I left school. Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1916. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 fo

23、r each child. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel for families that would never charge extra for children.Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But wit

24、h my mothers words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later，we had the largest hotel system in the world.You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you

25、.36. What Kemmons mom often told him during his childhood was_.A. amusingB. boringC. encouragingD. interesting37. What does “ that message” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. I could return to school.B.

28、self-confidence and hard work.D. Moms encouragement, a poor family, generosity and opportunities.Passage TwoSuppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to b

29、e equally active at all the times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to make up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary( 進化的 ) theory of sleep, evolutionary equipped us with

30、 a regular pattern of sleeping and walking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative( 恢復功能 ) functions. It merely says that evolutionary has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous

31、. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory explains

32、the differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for example, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horse do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikel

33、y to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep to long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.41. The author uses th

34、e example of the robot in space exploration to tell us _.A. the differences between robots and menB. the reason why men need to sleepC. the need for robots to save powerD. the danger of men working at night42. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him _.A. restore his bodily

35、 functionsB. maintain a regular pattern of lifeC. avoid danger and inefficient activityD. prevent trouble that comes looking for him43. According to the author, we cant sleep well when we_.A. are worrying about our safetyB. are overworkedC. are in a tentD. are away from home44. Cats sleep much more

36、than horses do partly because cats _.A. are likely to be attacked need more time for restorationB. need more time for restorationC are more active than horses when they are awakeD. spend less time eating to get enough energy45. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. Evolution has

37、equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and wakingB. Sleeping pattern must be taken into consideration in the designing of the robotC. The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eatsD. The study of the sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theor

38、yPassage ThreeAs we consider what makes one man better than the other, lets look at two examples. The first example is a man who has a good job, a healthy body, and a loving family. His success is due to good decisions. He chose the correct subjects to study when he was at the university. Now that h

39、es out of school, he always schedules his time well so that he can get everything done at the proper time. He exercises and eats well, as he understands the benefits of this. In addition, in order to achieve happiness in the home, he spends time with his family and makes sure they all have what they

40、 need. On the other hand, the second man is something less than the successful person the first man is. Whats wrong with him?Good sense is the ability to know what is true or fight from what is not true or wrong. And some people might think that the second man lacks good sense. However, the person w

41、ho thinks this is mistaken. Actually, since everyone has the same amount of good sense, the first man does not have an advantage over the second in this respect. The second man has a good mind, and he has the ability to judge things well.The second man runs into trouble, because he directs his thoug

42、hts along a different path. He considers other things, different from the first man. The problem is that he does not apply his mind rightly, as does the first one. Thus, he is not capable of advancing further than he does.When you consider what you want out of life, think about the results of your d

43、ecisions. Apply your mind well so that good things will come about and so that you are not left regretting your actions46. According to the passage, the first man succeeds because he_.A. is good at scheduling his timeB. has a loving familyC. does exercise regularlyD. makes right decisions47. Ones ab

44、ility to judge right or wrong is called_.A. critical thinkingB. logical mindC. good senseD. will power48. Why is the second man less successful?A. He runs into much trouble.B. He lacks good sense.C. He is not a good planner.D. He fails to apply his mind properly.49. The word “advancing” in Paragraph

45、 3 means_.A. improvingB. promotingC. demandingD. increasing50. What is the passage mainly about?A. Having good sense is more important.B. Why some people are more successful.C. Regretting ones actions is of no use.D. People must judge things well.Passage FourDear Ms. Write,The purpose of this letter
