In 273 B.C. ,the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.‎ At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to use for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang‎ ‎Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said:"Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away."‎ He added." Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isn't it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?"‎ Though Sue Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. Again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes(堤防) of the Huanghe‎ ‎River. The State of ‎Wei ‎ was finally destroyed.‎ ‎13．When asked how to defeat the Qin army, most officials .‎ ‎ A．were scared and at a loss what to do ‎ B．were worried and asked Su Dai fir advice ‎ C．decided to ask a force to bear down upon the border ‎ D．trembled and decided to give up fighting back ‎14．The underlined phrase "sue for" in Paragraph 2 probably means .‎ ‎ A．hope for B．beg for C．search for D．send for ‎15．Su Dai used the example of "carrying faggots to put out a fire" to show .‎ ‎ A．the ambition of the State of Qin B．the risk of fighting back ‎ C．the serious results of giving in D．the terrible results of defense ‎16．The story is mainly developed by .‎ ‎ A．time B．logic [来源:Z§xx§k.Com]‎ C．space D．cause and effect 参考答案 13—16 DBCA ‎[来源:学_科_网]‎ ‎***********************************************************结束 ‎ Tuvalu, north of Fiji, is a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean.[来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five metres above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. It fears it will be swallowed up by the sea. Without urgent help, the country's days are numbered.‎ But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about ‎24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20‎-50cm by 2050.A century ago, St. Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine time a year. Nowdays it happens more than 100 times.‎ While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu's rising sea level is caused by global warming.‎ The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.‎ Warmer weather makes glaciers（冰川） melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it take up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10‎-25cm in the last 100 years.‎ People have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2, through burning coal, oil and gas. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.‎ Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one metre this century.[来源:学*科*网]‎ Should this come true, millions of homes would be swallowed up by the sea and the world will be flooded with" climate refugees" looking for somewhere else to live.‎ ‎17．We can infer from Paragraph 2 that .‎ ‎ A．Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the sea ‎ B．all Tuvalu islands are about five meters above the sea level ‎ C．drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyed ‎ D．Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves ‎18．The author uses Tuvalu and Venice as examples in order to explain . ‎ ‎ A．it is first places sinking into the sea ‎ B．it is sinking into the mud where they stand ‎ C．it will disappear in the future ‎ D．its trouble is caused by global warming[来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ ‎19．What does the underlined word "refugees" (in the last paragraph)mean?‎ ‎ A．People forced away from their homeland ‎ B．Sudden changes caused by world climate ‎ C．Animals closely connected with weather ‎ D．Bad effect of climate changes ‎20．Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?‎ ‎ A．The main cause of global warming is human pollution ‎ B．The average global temperature has risen by 1‎-3 ℃‎over the past century.‎ ‎ C．The warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise ‎ D．There will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped ‎ 17—20 ADAB ‎ ‎*****************************************************结束 ‎（201*·四川卷）[来源:Z,xx,k.Com]‎ ‎“Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particular good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professor at Stanford‎ ‎University and a pioneer in the field of organization decision making. For years March ( possibly be wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.‎ He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning :“Experience is respected；experience is sought；experience is explained.”The problem is that learning from experience involves（涉及） serious complications（复杂化），ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.‎ In one interesting part of book，for example，he turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. He says“The more accurately（精确的）reality is presented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.”‎ Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher. March is also a poet, and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding；Don’t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.‎ ‎53.
