AHow should one invest a sum of money in these clays of inflation （通货膨胀）? Left in a bank it will hardly keep itsvalue, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one,dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the bestways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautifulobjects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collectingantique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting ofantiques.I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report backabout our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creaturethat sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sounD．It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands.Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young roundpeople's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control.This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves."Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture andpersonality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slavesto tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of clayaccording to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in afixed place and every hour or so would shout tire time. So it seems that thefirst clocks were human beings.However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of tellingthe time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked thehours on candles, used sand in hour- glasses, and invented water-clocks.Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possiblevisiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finestexamples of clocks from the past.Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys ofcollecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones foryour own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not investin air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?41．According to the passage,collecting antique clocks____.A．canhardly keep the value of your savingsB．willcost much of your savingsC．mayincrease your wealthD．needsyour bravery42．By quoting （引用）the remark of a being from another planet,the author intends to____.A．suggesthuman beings are controlled by a clockB．describewhy clocks can rule the planet EarthC．tellreaders what clocks look likeD．comparechicks to human beings43．Which of the following is NOTmentioned as a way to measure the time?A．Countingthe beating of one's own heart.B．Makinguse of candles, sand and water.C．Observingshadows cast by the sun.D．Keepingslaves busy day and night.44．The underlined phrase statelyhomes in paragraph 4 meansA．state-ownedhousesB．housesin very good conditionC．grandhouses open to the publicD．houseswhere statesmen meet regularly45．The purpose of the passage isA．tointroduce the culture of antique clocksB．tooffer some advice on collecting antique clocksC．tocompare different ways to make a future profitD．toexplain convenient and reliable ways of telling timeBDo you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness,goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadlycategorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent,and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneakyexcitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune.On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerkwould be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with aquiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of thingswould happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. Inthe process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would alsodemonstrate that we cannot lie trusted, since we advertise our dishonor bytelling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by tellingothers. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causesdifferent things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable.Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increaseD． Wheneverwe take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and asense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life ofhonorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actionslead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably againwhen we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it'sstarted, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace ofmind, which is important for our happiness.46．According to the passage, thepositive action in the example contributes to our A．self-respectB．financial rewardsC．advertising abilityD．friendly relationship47．The author thinks that keepingsilent about the uncharged item is equal to___.A．lyingB．stealingC．cheatingD．advertising48．The phrase "bringing theerror to the clerk's attention" （inparA．5）means___.A．telling the truth to the clerkB．offering advice to the clerkC．asking the clerk to be moreattentiveD．reminding the clerk of the chargeditem49．How will we feel if we let theclerk know her mistake?A．We'll be very excited.B．We'll feel unfortunate.C．We'll have a sense of honor.D．We'll feel sorry for the clerk.50．Which of the following can be thebest title of this passage.*A．How to Live TruthfullyB．Importance of PeacefulnessC．Ways of Gaining Self-respectD．Happiness through HonorableActionsCMalaria, the world's most widespread parasitic（寄生虫引起的）disease, kills as many as three millionpeople every year—almost all of whom are under five,very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases ofillness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assessbecause many people don't （orcan't）seek care. It is not unusual fora family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of itsincome on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. Incountries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village,hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long.Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followedby an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they takeover the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells theyinfect （感染）. They can also attach themselvesto blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn't kill you, malaria can happen againand again for years. The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoesinfected with one of four species of parasite. Together, the mosquito and theparasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth—and one of the most successful. Malaria hasfive thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself andresist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show thatmosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are moreoutbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the disease's spread is dueto global warming.For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africahas been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make.Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malariaparasites have becomeresistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance arealready available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive.If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.51．According to paragraph 1, manypeople don't seek care because___.A．they are too poorB．it is unusual to seek careC．they can remain unaffected forlongD．there are too many peoplesuffering from the disease52．People suffering from malaria___.A．have to kill female mosquitoesB．have ability to defend parasitesC．have their red blood cellsinfectedD．have sudden fever, followed bychills53．Which of the following may be thereason for the wide spread of the disease?A．Its resistance to global warming.B．Its ability to pass on the virusfrequently.C．Its outbreaks in cities with largepopulations.D．Its ability to defend itself andresist new drugs.54．It can be inferred from thepassage that___.A．no drugs have been found to treatthe diseaseB．the alternative treatment is noteasily available to most peopleC．malaria has developed its abilityto resist parasitesD．nobody knows what will be the drugto treat the disease55．Which of the following questionshas NOT been discussed in the passage?A．How can we know one is sufferingfrom malaria?B．How many people are killed bymalaria each year?C．Why are there so many peoplesuffering from malaria7D．What has been done to keep peopleunaffected for long7第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
