The boy walked a long way, and finally came upon the beautiful castle where the wise man lived.On entering the main room of the castle, the boy was quite surprised: tradesmen coming and going, people chatting in the corners, and a small orchestra playing soft music. The wise man talked with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn.The wise man listened carefully to the boys explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didnt have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.“Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something,” said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil. “As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill.”The boy began to walk up and down stairs of the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the wise man.“Well,” asked the wise man, “Did you see the Persian tapestries（掛毯）in the hall? Did you see the garden that took the master gardener ten years to create?” The boy was embarrassed, and replied that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil.“Then go back and observe the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. The boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace. This time he observed all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. When he returned, he described in detail everything he had seen. “But where are the drops of oil?” asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.“Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you,” said the wise man. “The secret of happiness is to see all the wonders of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”21. When the boy arrived at the castle, he .A. received a warm welcome from the wise manB. had already missed his chance to talk to the wise manC. was shown around the palace by the local peopleD. didnt expect to see so many people around22. The wise man gave the boy two tasks in order to .A. show him how to observe the wonders in the worldB. teach him the secret of happinessC. make him learn from his mistakesD. let the boy enjoy his palace and garden23. We can infer from the article that “the drops of the oil on the spoon” probably refer to .A. the beauty of ones natureB. the fortune a person possessesC. the responsibilities one has to take onD. the great opportunities in life24. What would be the best title for the article?A. Lesson about HappinessB. The Secret of HappinessC. Learning about HappinessD. Searching for HappinessB“Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. “There is certainly a lot of energy in waves,” he said. Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean. “The wind starts out by making little ripples(漣漪), but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves,” Taylor said. “Waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.” When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine（渦輪機(jī)）. The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity. “The resource is huge,” said Janet Swain of the World Watch Institute. “We will never run out of wave power.” Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. Oceans cover three quarters of the Earths surfacethat would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome.Swain said that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic. Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. “Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world,” Swain said. In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!25. The writer uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to .A. test the readers knowledge about wavesB. draw the readers attention to the topicC. show Jamie Taylors importanceD. invite the readers to answer them26. The underlined phrase “picking up” is closest in meaning to .A. starting againB. speeding upC. improvingD. gathering27. We can make better use of wave energy if we .A. shorten its journey to thousands of homesB. build more small power stations on the oceansC. reduce the cost of turning it into electric powerD. quicken the steps of producing electricity28. It can be inferred that someday we might not worry about .A. our power supplyB. our boat trafficC. air pollutionD. our supply of sea fishCHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments mostly for entertainment purposes is fair and respectful? Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes. Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range. The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs. The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain. Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangeredCaptive breeding(圈養(yǎng)繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wildZoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Havent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals? Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.29How would the author describe the animals life in zoos? ADangerous.BUnhappy.CNatural.DEasy.30In the state of zoochosis, animals _.

BZoos fail in their attempt to save animals.CZoos should treat animals as human beings.DZoos use animals as a means of entertainment.32The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _.

It was crowded with customers. 36 Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers. With about 14 shops down every day, Britains high streets are dying little by little. 37 Its fairly easy to understand. To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recession(衰退). On top of that, more and more people are using the Internet to do their shopping. And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either. 38 Finally, there are the out-of-town retail parks with free car parking that sell just about everything at very low prices.What can be done? Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops, to bring some life back into Britains high streets. Shes talked about creating “magnets(磁石)” to attract people back to the centre. 39 In one town, a bicycle rickshaw(人力車) service is delivering peoples shopping to their homes. 40 , where children can be cared for while parents are shopping.Members of the public have also voiced their opinions. “My ideal shopping center is one where theres a wide selection of attractive looking shops, with cheap parking and good public transport links,” said a 28-year-old man. “Id like to see Night Shopping evenings where shops are open through to 10 pm or later,” said a 22-year-old girl.A.
