【題文】
What brings a nation together? Of the four choices — shared values, language, history, and religion, it’s shared values. In our latest poll (民意調(diào)査), seven out of 16 countries chose values as the greatest factor (因素）bringing a nation together, and six preferred language. Both choices scored high in the poll, suggesting that our values and how we express them are closely linked .Still, history was not forgotten in some countries, particularly in Mexico and Russia. Even Canada and the United States chose national histories as the second-most important factor uniting their people. The biggest surprise? Not one country picked religion as its top choice.
|
Respect your elders In most countries, the oldest generation considered values more important to a nation than did those who are under 45 years old. |
Do you speak Canadian? Language scored lower in Canada than in all other countries polled, perhaps because the country speaks two official languages, French and English. |
Church and state Most people polled do not connect their religious beliefs to their national pride. Religion ranked last in 13 countries — with France scoring it at 1%, the lowest of all. |
21.According to the poll, what was the most important factor in bringing a nation together?
A. Language. B. Values. C. History. D. Religion.
22.In which country did language score the lowest in their national pride?
A. Canada. B. Mexico. C. France. D. America.
23.According to the charts, shared values and language were considered equally important in .
A. Australia B. Brazil C. China D. India

“Dr.Papaderos,what is the meaning of life?”
The usual laughter followed,and people stirred(騷動)to go.Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time,asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.
“I will,answer your question.”
Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket,he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror,about the size of a quarter.And what he said went like this:
“When I was a small child,during the war,we were very poor and we lived in a remote village.One day,on the road,I found the broken pieces of a mirror.A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place.
I tried to find all the pieces and put them together,but it was not possible,so I kept only the largest piece.This one,and,by scratching it on a stone.I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine——in deep holes and crevices(裂縫)and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.
I kept the little mirror,and,as I went about my growing up,I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game.As I became a man,I grew to understand that this was not just a child’s game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life.I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light.But light——truth,understanding,knowledge——is there,and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.
I am a fragment(碎片)of a mirror whose whole design and shape l do not know.Nevertheless,with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world——into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people.Perhaps others may see and do likewise.This is what I am about.This is the meaning of my life.”
On hearing the author’s question,Dr.Papedotes at first.
A.laughed at his foolishness B.wasn’t sure of the answer
C.doubted his seriousness D.wasn’t interested at all
How did Dr.Papaderos get the small round mirror when he was a child?
A.He found it on the road and made it round.
B.A dying German soldier gave him as a present.
C.He chanced to find it in the street while playing.
D.He put the broken pieces together and made it.
Why did Dr.Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?
A.Because he was too poor to afford other toys.
B.Because it could shine the places where tke sun couldn’t reach.
C.Because he believed it would bring good luck to him.
D.Because it tofd him a lot about what life really meant to him.
The underlined“metaphor”in the 7th paragraph most probably means .
A.symbol B.source C.light D.purpose
Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A.A Special Game in the Childhood B.A Broken Piece of Mirror
C.Dr.Papaderos’Experience D.The Meaning of Life

Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while. But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father there too, either in your mind and heart. I find that my parents, who died years ago, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all my mother said was “ I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on. It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors, and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause. I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword, and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today. 1.. According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph ________.
2.. In the second paragraph the author mainly wants to explain to us _______.
3.. What feeling did the author’s mother express in her reply?
4. In the author’s opinion, the value of a person’s life is ________.
5.. What does the writer mean by the sentence taken from an old poem?
