Hemingway was born in 1899 in Oak Park,Illinois,a prosperous suburb of Chicago.His fat

her,a physician,was an enthusiastic hunter and fisheman who taught his son to handle a rod and a gun.Hemingway's respect for these skills and his love of the open air run through his writing.He has tired to capture the point of view,actions,feelings,and speech of men who excel in the activities he admires.In school Hemingway was a good student,with a wide range of interests beyond the classroom.He was known as a boxer,a football player,a member of the swimming team,and manager of the track team.For 3 years he played in the school orchestra.But much of his activity was connected with words,which were to be his lifelong preoccupation.First as reporter,then as editor,he gained experience on the school paper,to which he contributed articles and stories.When Hemingway graduated from high school in 1917,World War I was still being fought.After a few months as a reporter on the Kansas City Star,he sailed for Europe in May,1918,as a volunteer ambulance driver and later transferred to the Italian infantry.Two weeks before his 19th birthday a leg wound brought him close to death.War and death have been recurrent themes in Hemingway's writing.Of war he has said," I thought about Tolstoi and about what a great advantage an experience of war was to a writer.It was one of the major subjects and certainly one of the hardest to write truly of ...

第3题

A nurse and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago.

Buses came by, but not the one they wanted. The woman finally half-entered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.The driver ignored her, so she repeated the question. Incredibly, he then closed the door -- on her arm -- and drove off.The woman, her arm stuck in the door, trotted alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too, were shouting.When the driver finally did stop and opened the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his badge number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.After the driver's bosses at the Chicago Transit Authority--a tax-supported governmental body -- heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment: a five-day suspension without pay. That struck me as rather light.But Bill Baxa, a CTA public-relations man, said, "That's a pretty harsh penalty. "

Five days off work is a harsh penalty for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm？ Baxa said, "Any time you take money away from someone, it is a harsh punishment. The driver makes $14 an hour. Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost. "

Yes, that comes to $560, a tidy sum. But we know that people in the private sector are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the CTA think that the loss of a week's pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting proposition: Give me a bus. Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I'll slam the door shut, stop the gas pedal and take them for a fast one-block jog. And I'll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers？ Mr. Baxa？ Anybody？ I didn't think so.

1.The nurse half-entered one of the buses because____.

A、the bus they wanted didn't stop there

B、she wanted the driver to stop the bus

C、she wanted to get some information from the driver

D、she and her uncle couldn't wait any longer at the corner

2.The reason why the woman trotted alongside the bus was that____.

A、she couldn't get herself away from the bus

B、the driver closed the door before she heard the answer

C、she was dragged by the bus driver

D、she wanted to get the driver's badge number

3.How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off？ ____

A、Almost one block.

B、Almost two blocks.

C、Probably three blocks.

D、Probably five or six blocks.

4.The bus driver's punishment was____.

A、being dismissed from the CTA

B、being out of work for a week

C、paying a fine of $560

D、working without pay for five days

5.Why did the author offer a sporting proposition？ ____

A、Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident.

B、Because the bus driver had not been fired.

C、Because he wanted to threaten the CTA people.

D、Because he thought the penalty was not a harsh on

A certain hunter had found a piece of forest where there were plenty of animals to hun

t.The only trouble was that the place was very difficult to get to.

He returned from his first visit to the place in late autumn, and could not get back until the snow melted in the following spring.Then he went to the pilot of a small plane, who earned his living by carrying hunters over parts of the country where there were no roads and no railways.He asked the pilot to take him back to the piece of forest.

The pilot did not know the place, so the hunter showed it to him on the map.“But there is nowhere to land there,” said the pilot.“I have flown over that we can’t land anywhere between this river and these mountains.”

“I thought you were a wonderful pilot,” said the hunter, “some of my friends said you could land a plane on a postage stamp.”

“That’s right,” answered the pilot.“I can land a plane where nobody else can.But I tell you there is nowhere to land in the place you are talking about.”

“And what if I tell you that another pilot did land me there last spring？” said the hunter.

“Is that true？” asked the pilot.

“Yes, it is.I swear it.”

Well, this pilot could not let himself beaten by another, so he agreed to take the hunter.

When they reached the place, the hunter pointed out a small spot without trees in the middle of the forest, with a steep rise(陡坡) at one end.The pilot thought there was not enough room to land there, but the hunter said that the other pilot had done so the year before, so down went the plane.When it came to the rise, it turned right over onto its back.As the hunter climbed out, he smiled happily and said, “Yes, that is exactly how the other pilot managed it last time.”.

My father was 17 when he left the farm in Cameron,N.C., and set off for Baltimore to

apply for a job at the Martin Aircraft Company. When asked what he wanted to do, he said,"Everything." He explained that his goal was to learn every job in the factory. He’d like to go to a department and find out what was done there. When the supervisor determined his work was as good as anyone else’s, he’d want to go to a different department and start over. The personnel people agreed to this unusual request, and by the time H.T.Morris was 20, he’d made his way through the huge factory and was working in experimental design for a fantastic salary. Whenever he went to a new department, he looked for the guys who had been around forever. These were the people novices usually avoided, afraid that next to them they’d look like the beginners they were. My father asked them every question he could think of. They liked this inquisitive young man and showed him shortcuts they had developed that no one else had ever asked about. These sages became his mentors. Whatever your goals, plan to network with those who know more than you. Model your efforts on theirs, adjusting and improving as you go.

The author’s father applied for a job at the Martin Aircraft Company and his goal was ()

A、to be a good worker with a special knowledge about his work

Living in an urban area with green spaces has a long-lasting positive impact on people

’s mental well-being, a study has suggested. UK researchers found moving to a green space had a sustained positive effect. Co-author Mathew White, from the University of Exeter, UK, explained that the study showed people living in greener urban areas were displaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety. “There could be a number of reasons,” he said, “for example, people do many things to make themselves happier; they strive for promotion or pay rises, or they get married. But the trouble is that within six months to a year, people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being. So, these things are not sustainable; they don’t make us happy in the long term. ” Dr. White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas has a lasting positive effect on people’s sense of well-being or whether the effect also disappeared after a period of time. To do this, the team used data from the British Household Panel Survey compiled by University of Essex. “What you see is that even after three years, mental health is still better, which is unlike many other things that we think will make us happy.” He observed that people living in green spaces were less stressed, and more sensible and communicated better. With a growing body of evidence establishing a link between urban green spaces and a positive impact on human well-being, Dr. White said “There’s growing interest among public policy officials, but the trouble is who funds it.”

1.According to a study, what do green spaces do to people()

A、Improve their work efficiency.

B、Add to their sustained happiness

C、Help them build a positive attitude towards life.

D、Lesson their concerns about material well-being.

2.What do people usually do to make themselves happier()

A、Earn more money.

B、Settle in an urban area.

C、Gain fame and popularity.

D、Live in a green environment.

3.What does Dr. White try to find out about living in a greener urban area()

A、How it affects different people.

B、How strong its positive effect is.

C、How long its positive effect.

D、How it benefits people.

4.What did the research reveal about people living in a green environment()

A、Their stress was more apparent than real.

B、Their decisions required less deliberation.

C、Their memories were greatly strengthened.

D、Their communication with others improved.

5.What should the government do to build more green spaces in cities()

A、Find financial support.

B、Improve urban planning.

C、Involve local residents in the effort.

D、Raise public awareness of the issue.

第10题

I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage.For two weeks

I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage.For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father.Totally loving.No ifs, ands or buts.

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of heir wives.Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well, for two weeks that would change.

And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”

“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.

After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed.I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.

There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

“What’s the matter？” I asked her.

“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I don’t？”

“What do you mean？”

“Well… that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago … our doctor… did he tell you something about me？ Tom, you’ve been so good to me… am I dying？”

It took a moment for it all to sink in.then I burst out laughing.

“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms.“You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

26.In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably means “_________”.

A.unintentionally

B.inevitably

C.impressively

D.unconditionally

27.From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ________.
