A Gift of God

One fine summer morning-it was the beginning of harvest, I remember-Mr. Earnshaw came

down stairs, dressed for a journey; he turned to Hindley and Cathy, and me and spoke to his son, "Now, I'm going to Liverpool today. What shall I bring you? " Hindley named a fiddle (a kind of violin), and then he asked Cathy. She was hardly six years old, but she could ride any horse in the stable. She chose a whip(鞭子).He did not forget me; He promised to bring me a pocketful of apples and pears. Then he set off.

The three days of his absence seemed a long while to us all. Mrs. Earnshaw expected him by

supper-time on the third evening. She put off the meal hour after hour. There were no signs of his

coming, however. About eleven o'clock the door opened and in stepped the master. He threw

himself into a chair, laughing and groaning, and told them all to stand off, for he was nearly killed.

He would never again have another such walk for whatever reasons.

Opening his great coat, which he held bundled up in his arms, he said: "See here, wife. I was

never so beaten with anything in my life. But you must take it as a gift of God though it's as dark

almost as if it came from the devil."

We crowded round him. And over Miss Cathy's head, I had a look at a dirty, ragged, black-haired child-big enough both to walk and talk-yet, when it was set on its feet, it only stared round, and repeated over and over again some strange words that nobody could understand.

I was frightened,and Mrs. Earnshaw was ready to throw it out of doors. She did get angry, asking why he should have brought that gipsy child into the house when they had their own kids to feed and look after? What he meant to do with it?

The master tried to explain the matter though he was really half dead with tiredness. All that I could make out, among her scolding, was a story of his seeing it starving, and homeless, and almost dumb (哑的) in the streets of Liverpool where he picked it up and inquired for its owner. But not a person knew to whom it belonged. He said that as both his money and time was limited, he thought it better to take it home with him at once than run into vain expenses there. Anyway he was determined he would not leave it as he found it.

Well, finally Mrs. Earnshaw calmed down, and Mr. Earnshaw told me to wash it, give it clean things, and let it sleep with the children.Hindley and Cathy then began searching their father's pockets for the presents he had promised them. But when Hindley drew out what had been a fiddle, crushed (压坏) to pieces in the great coat,he cried loudly. And Cathy, when she learned her father had lost her whip in attending on the stranger,showed her feeling by spitting at the gipsy child, earning herself a sound blow from Mr. Earnshaw to teach her cleaner manners.

(Adapted from Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte)

24. When did Mr. Earnshaw return home from Liverpool?

A. By supper time.

B. Not until it was nearly midnight.

C. When it was getting dark.

D. An hour after the meal time.

25.What does "A Gift of God" refer to ?

A. A fiidle and a whip

B. A pocketful of apples and pears.

C. His experience in the journey.

D.The gipsy child.

D. he couldn't leave the starving child without anyone caring for it.

26. It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. Mr.Earnshaw felt so guilty towards Cathy that he offered her another clearner gift.

B. Hindley was good-mannered even if he didn't get his present.

C. Mr. Earnshaw insisted on bringing the child back regardless of his financial burden.

D. Mrs. Earnshaw disagreed to keep the gipsy child in spite of everything.

C

What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science?

We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect is the

application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists

develop. The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists

use in their work.

What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful

scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships

even if the data available seem to be unconnected．Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing

conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.

He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the

fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光谱).

He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available．

He rejects authority as the only basis for truth．Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.

Furthermore, he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.

Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete．Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.

These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and

acts.

27. Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE?

A. He focuses on the problems that have no reasonable explanations.

B. He makes efforts to investigate potential connections.

C. He is interested in condition-improvig and problem-solving.

D. He rejects authority as he believes himself to be the only reliable one.

28. According to the passage, a successful scientist would .

A. easily appreciate others' research work.

B. easily believe in unchecked statements.

C. always accept authority as the only basis for truth

D. always use evidence from observation to the fullest.

29. Which word can be used to describe the author's attitude that a good scientist holds towards the scientific research?

A. Objective and careful.

B.curious and casual

C. cautious and arrogant.

D.subjective and down-to-earth.

30. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Key to a successful scientist.

B. Scientists' ways of thinking and acting.

C. Progress in modern science.

D. Application of modern technology.

第二节：概要写作（满分25分）

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

A typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭子)and a chair .The whip get all of the attention , but it’s mostly for show .In reality , it’s the chair that does the important work .When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face , the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time .With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next .When faced with so many options , the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.

How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion ? How often do you have something you want to achiever (e,g. lose weight , start a business , travel more ) –only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress ?

This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best , the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information .The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.

It doesn’t have to be that way .Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face , remember this :All you need to do is focus on one thing .You just need to get started .Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people .If you have somewhere you want to go , something you want to accomplish , someone you want to become ….take immediate action .If you’re clear about where you want to go , the rest of the world will either help you get the re or get out the way .

__________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 试题分析：本文是一篇议论文。当人们面前摆着多种选择感到困惑时，应该怎么办？本文导入了驯兽师拿一把椅子在狮子面前，狮子感到困惑，呆立不动。人也一样，面对多个选择时，不知该选哪一个，又怕选错了，因此进展少，或保持原样。实际上，我们不必那样。当我们遇到多种选择时，要专注一件事，开始下决心做下去。狮子驯兽师为什么拿着一把椅子？当驯兽师拿着椅子在狮子面前时，狮子关注椅子的四条腿，椅子用是用来戏耍狮子的。人们面对和狮子相似的椅子时是什么感觉？当专注的东西分散时，狮子开始变得困惑，人们跟狮子相似，也会困惑，不知道该怎么做。作者对提到的专家是什么态度？根据This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best ,可知专家们正忙于讨论哪一种选择是最好的，这令作者苦恼，因此推断作者对专家的态度是怀疑。当世界正在你面前挥舞这一把椅子是，文中建议你应该怎么做？根据Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face , remember this :All you need to do is focus on one thing .You just need to get started .可知当你面前挥舞着一把椅子时，你要集中精力做一件事，

那就是下决心去做。根据You just need to get started .可知需要开始去做某事，而不是等待.根据Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people .可知文中提到成功的人的习惯之一就是在感觉准备好之前就开始行动。根据If you’re clear about where you want to go , the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way .可知如果你明确自己的方向了，世界其余的人也明确要帮你还是要躲开你。此处是说自己明确方向而不是请求别人给一个明确的方向。
