阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡 上将该项涂黑。
A
One day, a college student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his day’s word.
The student turned to the professor, saying, “ Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his
shoes, and hide ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them”.
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselves at the
expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by tricking on the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him.”
The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. After he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something hard. He bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face. He fixed his eyes on the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then
looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread, Whom the timely help, from some unknown hand, would save from dying.
The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears.“Now,”said the
professor,“are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?” The youth replied,“You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.
56.The student wanted to play the poor man a trick to _________________.
A.find the truth B.show his wisdom
C.amuse himself D.teach him a lesson
57.After finding the two coins, the man felt_____________.
A.helpless B.interested C.peaceful D.thankful
58.We can know from the passage that the professor is ___________.

59.What dose the story intend to tell us?

B.God helps those who help themselves.
C.Where there is a will, there is a way.
D.Actions speak louder than words.

Tips for Cycle Trips
Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by human Power, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel.Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation.
Distance
On level terrain(地形),without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a day.Distances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit.For many,80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities. 高三英语试题及答案 第7 页(共20 页)
Geography
The gradient(坡度)of the trip will reduce your range.A basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time.In hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhill.A long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain pass.However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic

The continuous presentation of frightening stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it our kids.
Al Gore famously how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completelyFlorida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.
When with these exaggerations (夸大), some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no done if the result is that we focus even more on dealing with climate change.
This is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying
extremely about global warming means that we worry less about other things, we could do so much more good. We focus, , on global warming’s impact on malaria (疟疾)—which will put more people at41in 100 years—instead of helping the half a billion people from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more than carbon reduction would be.
Exaggeration also wears out the public’s to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed global warming, people wonder, why should we do anything?
The cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes —particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post mentioned nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal from global warming.
The newspaper also reported that parents are effective outlets for their 8-year-olds’ concern with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that,
to common belief, the global polar bear population has doubled over the past half-century, to about 22,000. the possible disappearing of summer Arctic ice, polar bears will live on with us.
