My secret for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that’s young and growing ---your brain. Keep your mind awake and you will stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.
Regardless of your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer. I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic (陶瓷的) artist.
Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man entered medical college as 70. He got his degree with honors and became a famous physician. Another man went to school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.
In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to cry. Keep your mind awake and active; that’s the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.

Monkeys are clever and lively, but they are naughty and greedy as well. Whenver they find delicious food, they will eat enough. What’s more, they will take it when they leave. They have suffered a lot because of this. But they never change this way.In India, people use monkey’s greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions.◆ Make a hole in a big pumpkin (南瓜). The hole must be just right ----neither too big nor too small.◆ Put some jujubes (枣) in the hole.◆ Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in the tree.◆ Hide yourself and watch the monkeys. As soon as you leave, the monkeys can’t wait to come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin, they don’t know what’s in it and one of them can't help putting its hand into the hole to find what on earth there is. When it touches the jujubes, it will clench (攥紧) some of them in its hand. As a result, it isn’t able to take its fist out of the hole. You can’t come close until this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don’t worry. It prefers the pumpkin than its life. It will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. In the end, it is caught helplessly.（1.0 分）31. Monkeys haven’t changed their way of doing with nice food because they areA．cleverB．livelyC．greedyD．naughty（1.0 分）32.“The hole must be just right” means it is A．big enough for the monkey to put its hand inB．smaller than a monkey’s handC．bigger than a monkey’s fistD．bigger than a monkey’s hand but smaller than its fist（1.0 分）33.Seeing the hole in the pumpkin, a monkey willA．be interested inB．be afraid ofC．run away at onceD．take the pumpkin away in arms（1.0 分）34.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Indians often catch the monkeys in this way.B．sometimes monkys are stupid.C．as soon as the monkeys comes to the pumpkin, you can rush to catch it.D．In India,monkeys like pumpkins every much.（1.0 分）35.What should we learn from the passage?A．we should catch up monkeys in this wayB．One mustn’t be greedy.C．We should protect monkeys.D．Come up with another way to catch monkeys.
We often speak of an artist as creating something and of a craftsman as making something. The artist has the desire to create or achieve something original, while the craftsman’s aim is to produce something familiar and expected.
We may say, then, that originality is what distinguished art form craft and is the measure of artistic greatness of importance. Unfortunately, originality is also very hard to define, the usual synonyms-----uniqueness, novelty, freshness-----do not help us very much, and the dictionaries tell us that an original work must not be a copy, reproduction, imitation, or translation. What they fail to point out is that originality is always relative: there is no such thing as a completely original work of art. Thus, if we want to rate works of art on an “originality scale”, our problem does not lie in deciding whether or not a given work is original, since the obvious copies and reproductions are for the most part easy enough to eliminate, but in establishing just exactly how original it is. To do so is not impossible. However, the difficulties involved in our task are so great that we cannot help for more then indefinite and incomplete answers.（1.0 分）36.We may conclude from reading the passage that a painting by an artist who has been influenced by other artists _____.A．might best be called an example of craft, not of artB．must be considered an imitation, not an original workC．might still be considered an original workD．can not properly be rated on an “originality scale”（1.0 分）37.The author specifically mentions his dissatisfaction with the failure of dictionaries to_____.A．distinguish clearly between art and craftB．indicate that originality is a matter of degreeC．recognize that a reproduction may be a true artD．mention that a work of art must be original（1.0 分）38.The author suggests that an “originality scale” should be used to_____A．distinguish an original work from a copyB．determine the artistic greatness of a workC．show that originality is always relativeD．explain the difference between art and craft（1.0 分）39.According to the author, the aim of the artist and the aim of the craftsman are______.
A．quite different from one anotherB．more or less practical in natureC． both basically artisticD．difficult to define（1.0 分）40.Which of the following statements would the author be least likely to make in talking about a great painting?
A．The painter is more than a good craftsmanB．The painting has considerable artistic significance.C．The painting has a strange, unusual quality.D．The painter owes nothing to other painters.
A mysterious light shines a peak in southeast Texas. Nearby settlers saw this light about eight years ago, and traveler along highway 90 between Alpine and Merfa, Texas, still report seeing it. The light does not always shine from the same place, but moving from point to point on the peak. So far, no one has solved the mystery of the Texas ghost-light.
Often strange brown lights have been seen in the deep valley below Blowing Rock, North Carolina. These also move about. Scientists have tried to solve this mystery too, but without success.
One day, recently, a woman who lives in a house high above this valley was resting in bed. The sun was shining. There was not a cloud in the sky. The window was raised several inches. Suddenly a ball of light forced its way through this window opening, knocked the woman unconscious and burned her in a way no doctor has ever seen before.

We often speak of an artist as creating something and of a craftsman as making something. The artist has the desire to create or achieve something original, while the craftsman’s aim is to produce something familiar and expected.
We may say, then, that originality is what distinguished art form craft and is the measure of artistic greatness of importance. Unfortunately, originality is also very hard to define, the usual synonyms-----uniqueness, novelty, freshness-----do not help us very much, and the dictionaries tell us that an original work must not be a copy, reproduction, imitation, or translation. What they fail to point out is that originality is always relative: there is no such thing as a completely original work of art. Thus, if we want to rate works of art on an “originality scale”, our problem does not lie in deciding whether or not a given work is original, since the obvious copies and reproductions are for the most part easy enough to eliminate, but in establishing just exactly how original it is. To do so is not impossible. However, the difficulties involved in our task are so great that we cannot help for more then indefinite and incomplete answers.（1.0 分）36.We may conclude from reading the passage that a painting by an artist who has been influenced by other artists _____.A．might best be called an example of craft, not of artB．must be considered an imitation, not an original workC．might still be considered an original workD．can not properly be rated on an “originality scale”（1.0 分）37.The author specifically mentions his dissatisfaction with the failure of dictionaries to_____.A．distinguish clearly between art and craftB．indicate that originality is a matter of degreeC．recognize that a reproduction may be a true artD．mention that a work of art must be original（1.0 分）38.The author suggests that an “originality scale” should be used to_____A．distinguish an original work from a copyB．determine the artistic greatness of a workC．show that originality is always relativeD．explain the difference between art and craft（1.0 分）39.According to the author, the aim of the artist and the aim of the craftsman are______.

A mysterious light shines a peak in southeast Texas. Nearby settlers saw this light about eight years ago, and traveler along highway 90 between Alpine and Merfa, Texas, still report seeing it. The light does not always shine from the same place, but moving from point to point on the peak. So far, no one has solved the mystery of the Texas ghost-light.
Often strange brown lights have been seen in the deep valley below Blowing Rock, North Carolina. These also move about. Scientists have tried to solve this mystery too, but without success.
One day, recently, a woman who lives in a house high above this valley was resting in bed. The sun was shining. There was not a cloud in the sky. The window was raised several inches. Suddenly a ball of light forced its way through this window opening, knocked the woman unconscious and burned her in a way no doctor has ever seen before.

My secret for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that’s young and growing ---your brain. Keep your mind awake and you will stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.
Regardless of your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer. I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic (陶瓷的) artist.
Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man entered medical college as 70. He got his degree with honors and became a famous physician. Another man went to school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.
In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to cry. Keep your mind awake and active; that’s the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.

Monkeys are clever and lively, but they are naughty and greedy as well. Whenver they find delicious food, they will eat enough. What’s more, they will take it when they leave. They have suffered a lot because of this. But they never change this way.In India, people use monkey’s greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions.◆ Make a hole in a big pumpkin (南瓜). The hole must be just right ----neither too big nor too small.◆ Put some jujubes (枣) in the hole.◆ Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in the tree.◆ Hide yourself and watch the monkeys. As soon as you leave, the monkeys can’t wait to come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin, they don’t know what’s in it and one of them can't help putting its hand into the hole to find what on earth there is. When it touches the jujubes, it will clench (攥紧) some of them in its hand. As a result, it isn’t able to take its fist out of the hole. You can’t come close until this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don’t worry. It prefers the pumpkin than its life. It will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. In the end, it is caught helplessly.（1.0 分）31.

My secret for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that’s young and growing ---your brain. Keep your mind awake and you will stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.
Regardless of your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer. I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic (陶瓷的) artist.
Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man entered medical college as 70. He got his degree with honors and became a famous physician. Another man went to school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.
In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to cry. Keep your mind awake and active; that’s the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.

Monkeys are clever and lively, but they are naughty and greedy as well. Whenver they find delicious food, they will eat enough. What’s more, they will take it when they leave. They have suffered a lot because of this. But they never change this way.In India, people use monkey’s greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions.◆ Make a hole in a big pumpkin (南瓜). The hole must be just right ----neither too big nor too small.◆ Put some jujubes (枣) in the hole.◆ Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in the tree.◆ Hide yourself and watch the monkeys. As soon as you leave, the monkeys can’t wait to come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin, they don’t know what’s in it and one of them can't help putting its hand into the hole to find what on earth there is. When it touches the jujubes, it will clench (攥紧) some of them in its hand. As a result, it isn’t able to take its fist out of the hole. You can’t come close until this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don’t worry. It prefers the pumpkin than its life. It will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. In the end, it is caught helplessly.（1.0 分）31.

We often speak of an artist as creating something and of a craftsman as making something. The artist has the desire to create or achieve something original, while the craftsman’s aim is to produce something familiar and expected.
We may say, then, that originality is what distinguished art form craft and is the measure of artistic greatness of importance. Unfortunately, originality is also very hard to define, the usual synonyms-----uniqueness, novelty, freshness-----do not help us very much, and the dictionaries tell us that an original work must not be a copy, reproduction, imitation, or translation. What they fail to point out is that originality is always relative: there is no such thing as a completely original work of art. Thus, if we want to rate works of art on an “originality scale”, our problem does not lie in deciding whether or not a given work is original, since the obvious copies and reproductions are for the most part easy enough to eliminate, but in establishing just exactly how original it is. To do so is not impossible. However, the difficulties involved in our task are so great that we cannot help for more then indefinite and incomplete answers.（1.0 分）36.We may conclude from reading the passage that a painting by an artist who has been influenced by other artists _____.A．might best be called an example of craft, not of artB．must be considered an imitation, not an original workC．might still be considered an original workD．can not properly be rated on an “originality scale”（1.0 分）37.The author specifically mentions his dissatisfaction with the failure of dictionaries to_____.A．distinguish clearly between art and craftB．indicate that originality is a matter of degreeC．recognize that a reproduction may be a true artD．mention that a work of art must be original（1.0 分）38.The author suggests that an “originality scale” should be used to_____A．distinguish an original work from a copyB．determine the artistic greatness of a workC．show that originality is always relativeD．explain the difference between art and craft（1.0 分）39.According to the author, the aim of the artist and the aim of the craftsman are______.

One day, recently, a woman who lives in a house high above this valley was resting in bed. The sun was shining. There was not a cloud in the sky. The window was raised several inches.

Monkeys are clever and lively, but they are naughty and greedy as well. Whenver they find delicious food, they will eat enough. What’s more, they will take it when they leave. They have suffered a lot because of this. But they never change this way.In India, people use monkey’s greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions.◆ Make a hole in a big pumpkin (南瓜). The hole must be just right ----neither too big nor too small.◆ Put some jujubes (枣) in the hole.◆ Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in the tree.◆ Hide yourself and watch the monkeys. As soon as you leave, the monkeys can’t wait to come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin, they don’t know what’s in it and one of them can't help putting its hand into the hole to find what on earth there is. When it touches the jujubes, it will clench (攥紧) some of them in its hand. As a result, it isn’t able to take its fist out of the hole. You can’t come close until this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don’t worry. It prefers the pumpkin than its life. It will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. In the end, it is caught helplessly.（1.0 分）31.

We often speak of an artist as creating something and of a craftsman as making something. The artist has the desire to create or achieve something original, while the craftsman’s aim is to produce something familiar and expected.
We may say, then, that originality is what distinguished art form craft and is the measure of artistic greatness of importance. Unfortunately, originality is also very hard to define, the usual synonyms-----uniqueness, novelty, freshness-----do not help us very much, and the dictionaries tell us that an original work must not be a copy, reproduction, imitation, or translation. What they fail to point out is that originality is always relative: there is no such thing as a completely original work of art. Thus, if we want to rate works of art on an “originality scale”, our problem does not lie in deciding whether or not a given work is original, since the obvious copies and reproductions are for the most part easy enough to eliminate, but in establishing just exactly how original it is. To do so is not impossible. However, the difficulties involved in our task are so great that we cannot help for more then indefinite and incomplete answers.（1.0 分）36.We may conclude from reading the passage that a painting by an artist who has been influenced by other artists _____.A．might best be called an example of craft, not of artB．must be considered an imitation, not an original workC．might still be considered an original workD．can not properly be rated on an “originality scale”（1.0 分）37.The author specifically mentions his dissatisfaction with the failure of dictionaries to_____.A．distinguish clearly between art and craftB．indicate that originality is a matter of degreeC．recognize that a reproduction may be a true artD．mention that a work of art must be original（1.0 分）38.The author suggests that an “originality scale” should be used to_____A．distinguish an original work from a copyB．determine the artistic greatness of a workC．show that originality is always relativeD．explain the difference between art and craft（1.0 分）39.According to the author, the aim of the artist and the aim of the craftsman are______.

A mysterious light shines a peak in southeast Texas. Nearby settlers saw this light about eight years ago, and traveler along highway 90 between Alpine and Merfa, Texas, still report seeing it. The light does not always shine from the same place, but moving from point to point on the peak. So far, no one has solved the mystery of the Texas ghost-light.
Often strange brown lights have been seen in the deep valley below Blowing Rock, North Carolina. These also move about. Scientists have tried to solve this mystery too, but without success.
One day, recently, a woman who lives in a house high above this valley was resting in bed. The sun was shining. There was not a cloud in the sky. The window was raised several inches. Suddenly a ball of light forced its way through this window opening, knocked the woman unconscious and burned her in a way no doctor has ever seen before.

My secret for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that’s young and growing ---your brain. Keep your mind awake and you will stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.
Regardless of your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer. I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic (陶瓷的) artist.
Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man entered medical college as 70. He got his degree with honors and became a famous physician. Another man went to school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.
In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to cry. Keep your mind awake and active; that’s the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.

My secret for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that’s young and growing ---your brain. Keep your mind awake and you will stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.
Regardless of your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer. I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic (陶瓷的) artist.
Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man entered medical college as 70. He got his degree with honors and became a famous physician. Another man went to school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.
In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to cry. Keep your mind awake and active; that’s the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.

Monkeys are clever and lively, but they are naughty and greedy as well. Whenver they find delicious food, they will eat enough. What’s more, they will take it when they leave. They have suffered a lot because of this. But they never change this way.In India, people use monkey’s greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions.◆ Make a hole in a big pumpkin (南瓜). The hole must be just right ----neither too big nor too small.◆ Put some jujubes (枣) in the hole.◆ Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in the tree.◆ Hide yourself and watch the monkeys. As soon as you leave, the monkeys can’t wait to come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin, they don’t know what’s in it and one of them can't help putting its hand into the hole to find what on earth there is. When it touches the jujubes, it will clench (攥紧) some of them in its hand. As a result, it isn’t able to take its fist out of the hole. You can’t come close until this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don’t worry. It prefers the pumpkin than its life. It will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. In the end, it is caught helplessly.（1.0 分）31.

We often speak of an artist as creating something and of a craftsman as making something. The artist has the desire to create or achieve something original, while the craftsman’s aim is to produce something familiar and expected.
We may say, then, that originality is what distinguished art form craft and is the measure of artistic greatness of importance. Unfortunately, originality is also very hard to define, the usual synonyms-----uniqueness, novelty, freshness-----do not help us very much, and the dictionaries tell us that an original work must not be a copy, reproduction, imitation, or translation. What they fail to point out is that originality is always relative: there is no such thing as a completely original work of art. Thus, if we want to rate works of art on an “originality scale”, our problem does not lie in deciding whether or not a given work is original, since the obvious copies and reproductions are for the most part easy enough to eliminate, but in establishing just exactly how original it is. To do so is not impossible. However, the difficulties involved in our task are so great that we cannot help for more then indefinite and incomplete answers.（1.0 分）36.We may conclude from reading the passage that a painting by an artist who has been influenced by other artists _____.A．might best be called an example of craft, not of artB．must be considered an imitation, not an original workC．might still be considered an original workD．can not properly be rated on an “originality scale”（1.0 分）37.The author specifically mentions his dissatisfaction with the failure of dictionaries to_____.A．distinguish clearly between art and craftB．indicate that originality is a matter of degreeC．recognize that a reproduction may be a true artD．mention that a work of art must be original（1.0 分）38.The author suggests that an “originality scale” should be used to_____A．distinguish an original work from a copyB．determine the artistic greatness of a workC．show that originality is always relativeD．explain the difference between art and craft（1.0 分）39.According to the author, the aim of the artist and the aim of the craftsman are______.
A．quite different from one anotherB．more or less practical in natureC． both basically artisticD．difficult to define（1.0 分）40.Which of the following statements would the author be least likely to make in talking about a great painting?
A．The painter is more than a good craftsmanB．The painting has considerable artistic significance.C．The painting has a strange, unusual quality.D．The painter owes nothing to other painters.
A mysterious light shines a peak in southeast Texas. Nearby settlers saw this light about eight years ago, and traveler along highway 90 between Alpine and Merfa, Texas, still report seeing it. The light does not always shine from the same place, but moving from point to point on the peak. So far, no one has solved the mystery of the Texas ghost-light.
Often strange brown lights have been seen in the deep valley below Blowing Rock, North Carolina. These also move about. Scientists have tried to solve this mystery too, but without success.
One day, recently, a woman who lives in a house high above this valley was resting in bed. The sun was shining. There was not a cloud in the sky. The window was raised several inches. Suddenly a ball of light forced its way through this window opening, knocked the woman unconscious and burned her in a way no doctor has ever seen before.
