5．There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages．
On the last day of one voyage，the ship was in a small port．It was winter time，and the sea was very cold，so the captain said to his sailors，"If one of you stays in the water during the whole night，I will give him my ship．But if he comes out before the sun appears，I shall get his wages．（工资）"
The sailors had heard about the captain'cheating，so they didn't trust him．But then one of them，who thought that he was cleverer than the captain，said that he would do it．He got into the water and，though it was very cold，stayed in it．When it was nearly morning，some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away．
"You are cheating，"the captain said to the sailor．"The fire's warming you．"
"But it's half a mile away．"said the sailor．
"A fire is fire，"answered the captain．
"Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages，but you can't cook a chicken，"said the sailor．
"I can，"answered the captain．
"If you cook this chicken，"said the sailor，"I shall work for you without wages for seven years，but if you can't，you will give me your ship．"
The captain agreed，took the chicken and said，"Where's the fire？"
"There it is，"answered the sailors，"On the shore．"
"‘A fire's fire'，you said，"answered the sailor．"If it is enough to warm me in the water，it is enough to cook your chicken．"
24．The captain got the sailors'wagesC．
A．to buy a chicken for himself         
B．and kept the money for future use
C．by cheating them                  
D．and said he would return the money soon．
25 Which of the following statement is true？D

C．The captain succeeded in cheating the sailor．
D．It was the sailor who was clever．

B．didn't believe the sailor's success
C．wanted to keep his promise               
D．wanted to show his cleverness
27 What is the best title？D
A．How A Captain Cheated His Sailor

D．A Fire is Fire．

分析 这篇短文讲述一位船长经常欺骗船员的工资，一次在欺骗船员后被这位船员用相同的方法对其进行了反击．这个故事采用了"以其人之道还治其人之身"的方法．

解答 24．C    细节理解题．根据文章第一段There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages．"曾经有一个船长非常爱钱，因此在每次航行结束后他都骗自己的船员并拿走他们的工资．"可知船长通过欺骗船员拿走他们的工资，故选 C．
25．D 细节理解题．根据文中句子The sailors had heard about the captain'cheating，so they didn't trust him．But then one of them，who thought that he was cleverer than the captain，可以知道是个聪明才海员，所以答案选D．
26．A 推理判断题．根据第六段"A fire's fire，"answered the captain．"I have won．"船长强词夺理离船员半英里处的火在给他取暖，说明船长想要赢得赌注．故选 A．
27．D 标题归纳题．这篇短文讲述一位船长经常欺骗船员的工资，而后被译为船员用他用过的方法给整蛊了得故事．因此可以用这个方法作为标题，故选 D，火就是火．

7．The experiment shows that proper amounts of exercise，ifcarried（carry） out regularly，can improve our health．
8．She had got tiredof   looking  at  nature  through  dirty  curtains．
5．The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world．To deal with this problem，it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget（预算）be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment．Actually，many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it．For example，people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold．But many people get sick because they fail to do so，and have to spend money seeing a doctor．
Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention．For example，keeping a balanced diet，such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits，seems to be quite important．
One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise，which is necessary for a healthy mind and body．Regular exercise，such as running，walking，and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress．
In addition，health education plays a key role in improving people's health．By giving people more information about health，countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it．For example，knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy．Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes，which will work before it is too late．
Hinderer，stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant．After all，prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect．In conclusion，we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education．

10．The African elephant，which is the largest land animal remaining on earth，is of great importance to African ecosystem．Unlike other animals，the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment．As a big plant-eater，it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna （大草原） surroundings in which it lives，therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat．
It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat．In its continuous search for the 300pounds of plants it must have every day，it kills small trees and under-bushes，and pulls branches off big trees．This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas．In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters．
Take the rain forests for example．In their natural state，the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor．By pulling down trees and eating plants，elephants make open spaces，allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor．In such situations，the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well．
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species．If the elephant disappears，scientists say，many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna，greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem．

29．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．Disappearance of African elephants．
B．The effect of African elephants'search for food．
C．Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants．
D．The eating habit of African elephants．
30．What does the underlined phrase"setting the terms"most probably mean？B
A．Fixing the time．
B．Deciding the conditions．
C．Improving the quality．
D．Worsening the state．
31．What do we know about the open spaces in the passage？C
A．They result from the destruction of rain forests．
B．They provide food mainly for African elephants．
C．They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds．
D．They are home to many endangered animals．
32．The passage is developed mainly byD．
A．giving examples
B．pointing out similarities and differences
C．describing the changes in space order
D．showing the effect and then explaining the causes．

14．The elevator of the future may be just over the horizon thanks to German company    ThyssenKrupp．The firm has invented a cable-free elevator（called MULTI）that can go up and    down like traditional lifts but the magnetic motors allow it to go side-to-side too．The designers predict that this technology could increase the carrying capacity of existing architecture by as much as 50%．Plus it looks really neat．
ThyssenKrupp plans to use light-weight materials to build its elevator ears of the future and the lack of a cable winch（钢缆绞车）will reduce weight as well．The ears wouldn't just move up and down as they do now but would instead go in a circle that allows more cars to slip in fight behind the next．The result is that you might only have to wait 10 seconds for the next one to arrive rather than wait for the one you just missed to come back down．
The technology backing ThyssenKrupp's MULTI elevator is very similar to magnetic    levitation（磁悬浮）systems used in high-speed trains．Each car has two magnetic motors-one    for vertical movement and another for horizontal．This system can also deliver power to the car's internal lighting and electronics without using wires．
A traditional cable driven elevator has mechanical components that can hold the car in place in the event of a power-off．ThyssenKrupp didn't go into detail about safety measures in its announcement but it's safe to say the magnetic levitation elevator will have some sort of system to hold it in place if the lights go out．ThyssenKrupp is working on a test tower that will be used to develop the MULTI into a rear elevator technology．This should be up and running by 2016 but it will probably take at least a few more years before you get to climb inside a magnetic elevator car．
