　　Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, summed up the four chief qualities of money 2,000 years ago. It must be lasting and easy to recognize, to divide, and to carry about. When we think of money today, we picture it either as round, flat pieces of metal which we call coins, or as printed paper notes. But there are still parts of the world today where coins and notes are of no use .A traveler there might starve if he had none of the particular ‘ local money ’.Among isolated peoples ,who are not often reached by traders from outside ,commerce usually means barter ,which is a direct exchange of goods .Perhaps it is fish for vegetables or meat for baskets .For this kind of simple trading, money is not needed ,but there is often something that everyone wants ,such as salt to flavor food, shells for necklaces ,or iron and copper to make into tools. These things — salt ,shells or metals — are still used as money in out-of-the-way parts of the world today.Salt may seem rather a strange material to use as money ,but in countries where the food of the people is mainly vegetables ,it is often an absolute necessity .Cakes of salt ,stamped to show their value ,were used as money in Tibet until recent times, and they can still buy goods in parts of Africa.Cowrie seashells have been used as money at some time or another over the greater part of the Old World. These were collected mainly from the beaches of the Maldive Islands in the Indian Ocean ,and were traded to India and China. In Africa ,cowries were traded right across the continent from East to West .Four or five thousand went for one Maria Theresa dollar ,an Australian silver coin which was once accepted as currency (货币) in many parts of Africa.Metal was used as money in many parts of the world .Iron ,in lumps ,bars or rings is still used in many countries instead of money .It can either be exchanged for goods ,or made into tools or weapons. The early money of China ,apart from shells ,was of bronze ,often in flat ,round pieces with a hole in the middle ,called ‘ cash ’.The earliest of these are between three thousand and four thousand years old — older than the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean.Nowadays ,coins and notes have supplanted nearly all the more picturesque forms of money ,and although in one or two of the more remote countries people still store it for future use ,primitive money will soon be found only in museums.1.Nowadays we think of money as() .A.pieces of metal or metallic paperB.made of either metal or paperC.some printed notes and papersD.round and flat sheets of paper2.In some parts of the world a traveler might go hungry() .A.even if his money was of the local kindB.even if he had no coins or notesC.if he did not know the local rate of exchangeD.even if he had plenty of ready money3.What can we infer from the passage？A.Isolated peoples exchange goods by means of barter.B.Salt cakes are taking the place of picturesque forms.C.Seashells could be traded with Maria Theresa dollars.D.The Chinese were among the earliest users of metal ‘ cash ’.4.Primitive types of money will be used ().A.to replace more picturesque formsB.as exhibits to be shown in publicC.at local country markets and shopsD.as entrance tickets in museums查看答案请关注【快跑搜题】微信公众号，发送题目即可获取第5题

　　In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngster(年轻人)who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally ill patients--even when those patients are their parents. This deprives(剥夺)the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately 500 terminally ill patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears, and fantasies(幻想). Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition, and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death.Five hundred critically ill patients were investigated with the main purpose of ______.A．learning how to best help them and their familiesB．observing how they reacted to the crisis of deathC．helping them and their families overcome the fear of deathD．finding out their attitude towards the approach of death查看答案请关注【快跑搜题】微信公众号，发送题目即可获取第9题

　　Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.The number of international studentsQuestions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.The number of international students at colleges and universities in the United States has increased continually for fifthyear.The Institute of International Education in New York released its annual ” Open Doors ” report this week. It says a record ofmore than 720,000 students from other countries were studying in America during the last school year. The number was 5%higher than the year before and almost one-third higher than ten years ago.There were big increases from China, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Iran and Venezuela. Almost 22% of international studentswere Chinese, with increases especially at the undergraduate level. Together, almost half of all international students camefrom China, India and South Korea.Peggy Blumenthal at the institute says that Chinese students are now studying throughout the United States. Twenty yearsago, students from China only knew of a handful of the US institutions, but now they are admitted into the US communitycolleges, small liberal arts institutions, and research universities — really spread across the US. Ms. Blumenthal suggests thatone reason for the increase is a lack of space in Chinese colleges for everyone who wants an education. She says studentsand their parents are also looking for a different educational experience.More international students study in California than in any other states. For ten years in a row, the University of SouthernCalifornia in Los Angeles led the country, with more than 8,600 foreign students.The most popular area of study for international students is business and management, followed by engineering.28.Big increases in the number of international students were mainly from __________A.China, Vietnam, India, etcB.South Korea, China, Vietnam, etcC.Iran, China, Saudi, Arabia, etcD.South Korea, Vietnam, Venezuela, etcAccording to the passage the number of Chinese students in the US is__________A.about 720,000B.about 360,000C.about 158,000D.about 8, 600Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？A.Home Countries of International Students in the USB.Study Areas of International Students in the USC.New Trends of International Students in the USD.Backgrounds of International Students in the USWhere do Chinese students study in the US today？A.In a handful of institionsB.In small liberal arts institutionsC.In different kinds of institutionsD.In engineering institutions请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！查看答案请关注【快跑搜题】微信公众号，发送题目即可获取第10题

　　阅读：Some radio singals were heard in 1967.They were coming from a point in the sky where there was unknown starQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

　　Some radio singals were heard in 1967.They were coming from a point in the sky where there was unknown star.They were coming very regularly,too:about once a seco nd,if they were controlled by clock.

　　The scientists who heard the signals did not tell anybody else.They were rather afraid to tell in case they frightened people.The signals were coming from a very small body—no bigger,perhaps than the earth.Was that why no light could be seen from it？Or were the signals coming from a planet that belonged to some other star？There was no end to the questions,but the scientists kept the news secret.“Perhaps there are intelligent beings out there.”they thought,“who are trying to send messages to other planets,or to us？So the news was not given to the newspaper.Instead,the scientists studied the signals and searched for others like them...Well,all that happened in 1967 and 1968.Since then scientists have learnt more about those strange,regular,radio signals.And they have told the story,of course.

　　The signals do not come from a planet;they come from a new kind of star called a “pulsar””.About a hundred other pulsars have now been found,and most of them are very like the first one.

　　Pulsars are strong radio stars.They are the smallest but the heaviest stars we know at present.A handful of pulsar would weigh a few thousand tons.Their light—if they give much light—is too small for us to see.But we can be sure of this,no intelligent beings are living on them.

　　21. The radio signals discussed in this passage____.

　　A.were regular B.were controlled by a clock

　　C.were heard in 1967 only D.were secret messages 

　　22. The radio singals were sent by____.

　　A.a satellite 

　　B.a planet

　　C.a sky body which was unknown at that time

　　D.intelligent beings who were unknown at that time 

　　23. The scientists did not tell people about the signals because____.

　　A.the singals stood for secret messages

　　B.people would ask them too many questions

　　C.they did not want to frighten people

　　D.they stood for unimportant messages

　　24. A pulsar is____.

　　A. a small heavy star which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen 

　　B. a small heavy planet which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen 

　　C. a small heavy satellite which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen

　　D. a small intelligent being who sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen

　　25. Which of the following is true？

　　A.One of the pulsars found by scientists sends radio signals.

　　B.Pulsar began to send radio singals in 1967.

　　C.Scientists have searched for pulsars for many years but found none.

　　D.Scientists have found many pulsars since 1967.
