14、uct the affairs of France and control the government. He settled on the hunting palace and expanded it into the worlds largest palace. In addition, the King hoped to build a governmental center apart from Paris. The palace took 36,000 workers fifty years to build. The palace is spread out over 280 a

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage :“It hurts me more than you,” and “This is for your own good.” These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, c
22、lean my room, stay home and do homework.That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who t
23、ake a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing weve made a
24、 terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to childrens passivity. “Were not training kids to work any more,” says Klompus. “Were talking about a generation of kids whove never been hurt or hungry. They
25、have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying go look it up, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. Its time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. Its time to take the car away, t
26、o turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but its for their own good. Its time to start telling them no again.26.

30、are based on the following passage: Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at wha
31、t counts as good manners in England.When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say “hello“ and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could
32、 go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself. On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess or another guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a
33、 toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someones house an Engl
34、ishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even s
35、o, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. 31.

38、ple.C. An Englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.D. The English usually cant understand foreign students, impolite behaviors. 35.

41、danger was involved, it was danger to somebody else besides themselves. Dons reaction, the middle son, was romantic; what a pity that it had happened forty miles away, and thus the consequent exciting danger or threat would never reach as far as their town of Arcadia. He was twelve at the time.There
42、 had been a break at the state prison in Auburn. Six dangerous criminals had shot their way out and were even now so everybody said terrorizing the countryside, though no one had seen them since their rush to freedom after a wounded guard, at gun point, had raised the outer gate for their escape. Th
43、ey might equally have vanished off the face of the earth or hidden in somebodys abandoned barn, too frightened to stir form their hiding places for weeks to come.The news came to the Birnams inevitably (必然) form one of their neighbors over the telephone. There was no radio in those days but Mrs. Kir
44、tle was just as good. By some mysterious gift she always managed to hear things before anybody else and immediately got on the phone or rushed across the back yards, ducking under clotheslines and knocking at kitchen door. “Pauline Revere,” the boys called her, and their mother suppressed (抑制) a smi
