【解析】该短文讲述了作者在10年前的一家礼品店里遇到的一位只有上半身没有四肢的女孩的故事,女孩的乐观向上教会了作者生命的真谛。

【1】so 考察副词。So副词,表示“这样”。结合语境 Allah said, “Give up telling lies first and always tell the truth.” The man promised to do __41__ and went home.亚拉说首先要停止说谎,以后一直要说真话。那个人承诺了这样做,然后回家了。故填so

【2】to 考察介词。To 介词,表示“对于” 向某人作出承诺make promise to sb 是固定的介词搭配,故填to。

【3】stealing 考察固定搭配。Go on doing sth继续做某事。该空前有went on,并且文中所给的词是steal偷窃,所以将steal后加ing

【4】me 考察代词。Me代词,表示“我”。结合句意If I tell the truth, everyone will start hating me and call【4】a thief. 如果我说出真相,每个人都会开始讨厌我并且叫我贼。故填me

【5】be punished 考察被动语态。文中给出的词是punish,结合句意I would 【5】(punish) for stealing.我将会因偷盗被惩罚。故使用被动语态

【6】nor / neither 考察倒装。前文中说到这个男人已经向安拉承诺了以后不说谎,所以这句话里面填的是否定意义的neither/nor。该句子中的情态动词提前,是部分倒装。

【7】what 考察宾语从句引导词。What在宾语从句中做宾语。What指的是之前那个男人向安拉承认的不撒谎的事情。

【8】the 考察冠词。The定冠词表示特定的人或事物,这里使用定冠词,是因为“想法”是前文已经交代过的“喝酒”这件事,所以用定冠词the。

【9】whenever 考察时间状语从句引导词。Whenever表示无论何时。原句的意思是:用这种方法,无论何时当他想要做一些坏事的时候,他总会想起他要一直说实话的承诺。

【10】at 考察固定搭配。at all times 意思为:不论什么时候、老是。该句意思是:用这种方法,无论何时当他想要做一些坏事的时候,他总会想起他要一直说实话的承诺。

【题目】A

Mona Lisa, the mysterious woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s 16th century masterpiece, had just given birth to her second son when she sat for the painting, a French art expert said.

The discovery was made by a team of Canadian scientists who used special infrared and three-dimensional technology to look through paint layers on the work, which now sits in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Bruno Mottin of the French Museums’ Center for Research and Restoration said that on very close examination of the painting, it became clear that Mona Lisa’s dress was covered in a thin transparent gauze dress.

This type of gauze dress was typical of the kind worn in the early 16th century in Italy by women who were pregnant or who had just given birth. This is something that has never been seen up to now because the painting was always judged to be dark and difficult to examine, he told a news conference. We can now say that this painting by Leonardo da Vinci was painted to commemorate the birth of the second son of Mona Lisa, which helps us to date it more precisely to around 1503. The young woman with the half smile has been identified as Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Florentine merchant Francesco de Giocondo. She had five children.”

Mottin also said that, contrary to popular belief, the subject had not let her hair hang freely, but in fact she had worn a bonnet from which only a few curls had managed to escape.

"People always wrote that the Mona Lisa had allowed her hair to hang freely over her shoulders. This greatly surprised historians because letting your hair hang freely during the Renaissance was typical of young girls and women of poor virtue," he said.

The team had hoped to discover more details about Leonardo's "sfumato " technique of subtly blending one tone into another, which the artist used to create a special effect. But scientist John Taylor said the team had been frustrated by the lack of brush stroke detail on the painting.

【题目】IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer, and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the world’s most successful enterprisers. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a business—IKEA.

IKEA’s name comes from Kamprad’s initials (I.K.) and the place where he grew up (‘E’ and ‘A’). Today IKEA is known for its modern, minimalist furniture, but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods.

Kamprad’s goods included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices, including watches, pens and stockings.

IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufacturers near Kamprad’s home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product line.Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951.

In 1953 IKEA opened its first showroom in Almhult, Sweden. IKEA is known today for its large stores with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming: people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to develop. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture.

In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling(拆卸) a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea: flat packaging. Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales went up. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations(内涵) of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion.

Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the world’s richest man. He currently lives in Switzerland and is retired from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA itself, though, just keeps on growing.

【1】The author states in Paragraph 6 that flat packaging___________.

A. needs large space to assembly furniture

B. is a business concept inspired by Kamprad

C. helps reduce transportation costs

D. makes the company self-sufficient

【2】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Ingvar Kamprad is the richest man in the world.

B. IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer.

C. The advantage of IKEA’s furniture is dissembling.

D. Ingvar Kamprad established IKEA and led it to great success.

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards IKEA’s future according to the last paragraph?

A. Indifferent B. Optimistic

C. Doubtful D. Pessimistic
