Effendi looked at the king for a while. Then he answered, “But how can I know? I'll die two days earlier than you.” The king was afraid that if he killed Effendi, he himself would die after that. He thought he must keep Effendi alive as long as possible, so he let Effendi go.

【解析】【主旨大意】本文講的是聰明的阿凡提智答國王問題的故事，以致國王為了不讓自己死去，而不敢殺死他。

【1】綜合分析題。由文章可知，為了保全生命，中阿凡提說自己會比國王早死兩天。以此愚弄了國王。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。由第一段可知，宰相是從馬上摔下來而死的。

【3】細節(jié)推理題。由第一段和第二段可知，國王很生氣，殺死阿凡提是他的目的。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。由文章結(jié)尾可知，國王是怕自己真的會死去才沒有殺死阿凡提，由此推測和A一致。

【5】判斷推理題。本文是要求選擇不正確的，國王會在阿凡提死后兩天死，這一說法是沒有可信性的，只是阿凡提的一個自救說法。故選D。

【題目】Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.

In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜譜) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.

In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意識地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.

In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.

Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.

Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then you can say, "I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors" tragedies and stories, and know that they are cheering on.

【1】 Imitation proves useful when you _____.

A. know you are unique

B. lose the balance of life

C. begin to learn something new

D. get tired of routine practice

【2】To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should _____.

A. forget daily fear and pain

B. choose the right example

C. ask others for decisions

D. stay away from stars

【3】The trouble a creator faces is _____.

A. the lack of strong motivation

B. the absence of practical ideas

C. how to search for more materials

D. how to use imagination creatively

【4】What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?

A. To highlight the importance of creatively.

B. To criticize the characters of role models.

C. To compare imitation with creation.

D. To explain the meaning of success.

【題目】North American black bears are shy animals. They are fearful by nature, and will usually run away if they see or hear people. Because of this, it can be difficult for scientists to learn about these animals.

In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, USA, catch bears and use drugs (毒品) to help them go to sleep. Researchers then work out the size and the weight of the bear, take blood to test for diseases, remove a tooth and take it to the lab to find out its age. From these studies, researchers want to find out how many bears live in New Jersey, how long they live, and how many babies they produce.

But in Minnesota, USA, researchers study bears that are completely awake. The bears know the researchers' voices and they are not afraid of die research team. With the help of a few grapes to keep the bears busy, researchers can touch them to check their hearts, look at their teeth , and do other jobs. Researchers can also walk or sit with bears for hours and make videos to learn about their everyday lives.
