20、)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。A A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiance. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it,
21、 as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiance. He had been loo
22、king at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him. The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him. A bright idea struck him. The manager
23、pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the young man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said: “When the servant enters the room, he will drop it.”On the birthday of his fiance the young man was very excited. Everything happened as had been planned. The servant brought
24、in the vase, and as he entered the room, he dropped it. There was horror on everybodys face. When the box was opened, the guests saw that each piece was packed separately(分离地).41. The story took place _.A. France B. England C. Germany D. the US42. Which of the following is true?A. The young mans fam
25、ily was poor while the beautiful girl is rich.B. A rich young man fell in love with a beautiful girl.C. The young man loved the girl but the girl didnt love him.D.

The guests would be angry because the servant had broken the vase. D. What the careful servant had done gave the trick away. B Drunken drivings
28、ometimes called Americas socially accepted form of murderhas become a national epidemic(流行病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blo
29、od alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or several glasses of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were serious in most courts, but the drunken slaughter(屠宰) has recently caused so many well-publicized t
30、ragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant. Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing(使翻转) a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more t
31、han doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21. Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink. Though
32、new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who “obviously drunk” and l
33、ater drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy. As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition(禁止) of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forgot t
34、hat legal prohibition didnt stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.From the first paragraph, we can know that _. A. most Americans like drinking B. heavy drinking is hard to avoid C. many Americans a
35、re killed by drunk drivers D. Americans are not shocked by traffic accidentsIn America, public opinion about drunken driving has changed because _. A. judges are no longer serious B. new laws are introduced in some states C. the problem has attracted public attention D. drivers do not appreciate the
36、ir manly imageWhat can be inferred from the fact of the traffic accidents in New Jersey? A. The legal drinking age should be raised. B. Young drivers were usually bad. C. Most drivers hoped to raise the legal drinking age. D. Drivers should not be allowed to drink. Laws recently introduced in some s
37、tates have _. A. reduced the number of deaths. B. resulted in fewer serious accidents. C. prevented bars from serving drunken customers. D. specified the amount drivers can drink. Which of the following best shows the writers opinion of drunken driving? A. It may lead to organized crime. B. It is di
38、fficult to solve this problem. C. The new laws can stop heavy drinking. D. There should be no bars to serve drink. C It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction
39、. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial considerations.Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary w
40、hen she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects(前景) of a commercial
41、 return, and Lees is one of them.The impact of a salary cut is probably less serious for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的
42、) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual(智力的) opportunities.Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry
43、 is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary(包括各种学科的) team, manage budgets and negotiate(谈判) contracts. They are also well placed to b
44、ring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”51. By “a one-way street” in the first paragraph, the author means _.
