And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonalds, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own
10、great logos as well, and they are among my favorites. Nike In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nikes logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $35, and was regis
11、tered as a trademark in 1995. McDonalds The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch-shaped (拱形的) signs on the side of the companys then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the “M”. The McDonalds name was added to the logo in
12、 1968. Apple There are different stories behind Apples logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described
13、 Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didnt stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoffs “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette ( 轮 廓 ) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced b

18、e Nike Mercedes Benz. D. Nike Mercedes Benz McDonalds Apple. B My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most kids swam there, and there were plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety. Still, the firefighters first words “You need to come
19、 up here to the Stillwater River” made me catch my breath and his follow-up words gave me relief: “Your son is OK.” When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine. I hurried
20、 over to him. “You OK?” I asked. “Yeah,” was all that he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didnt get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest. The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without he
21、sitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore. In an age in which the word “hero” is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centered, but that didnt mean they have no desire
22、 to do good. Still shocked by my sons daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from himbut he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “Whats for supper?” I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. T
23、he next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep. 4. Why did the mother allow her son to swim t
24、here? A. Because he was an excellent swimmer. B. Because the water of the river was shallow. C. Because he was old enough to swim. D. Because the rocks could be of help if there is danger. 5. The underlined part “who tends to play his cards close to his vest” probably means _. A. Anton is a boy fond
25、 of swimming with other kids B. Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks C. Anton always has a desire to help others D. Anton seldom changes his mind 6. In the mothers eyes, what her son did was _. A. dangerous but interestingB. unexpected and courageous C. meaningful but difficult D. awful
26、and absurd 7. What might be the best title for the passage? A. My son, my heroB. Anton, a silent boy C. Agood deedD. Aproud mother C Can you imagine what 680,000 tons of food look like? Thats the amount of food wasted in Britain each year, and at the top of the list of wasted food is bread. In the B
27、ritish diet, bread appears in every meal. It is eaten for breakfast, used for sandwiches for lunch and put in soups at dinner.Almost everyone in Britain buys bread. Bread is so important to the British that they use the word “bread” to mean “money” and the word “loaf” (一条面包) to mean “head”. So lets
28、use our “loaves” to understand why so much “bread” is wasted! Even though bread is still sold in such a popular way and in such a large amount, that doesnt mean its made full use of. It seems people are simply buying much more than they need, so they throw away the bread that they dont need. Baker C
29、hris Young explains that the British arent valuing their bread because bread is no longer respected. “None of the bread that is thrown away is real breadhomemade or carefully-made bread, but is bought from the bread shop.” Another baker Mark Boyle agrees. “If you make something by yourself, you dont
30、 want to waste it because you know how much energy youve put into it. But although home baking is a nice idea, for many its out of their ability because they have to work such long hours every day that they dont have time to make bread by themselves at home. So they simply buy bread and just bring i
31、t home to eat.” Perhaps the British should try to bake bread by themselves, which can probably make their dustbins lighter. 8. What can we infer from the passage? A. Bread plays an important part in British diet. B. Different British people like different foods. C. Bread will become less popular in
32、Britain. D. Bread is the favorite food for the British. 9. If a British boss says to his workers “Please bring your loaves here,” he _. A. wants his workers to eat healthily B. advises his workers to buy more bread C. asks his workers to work more cleverly D. promises to give his workers more money
33、10. Mark Boyle believes that the British throw away much bread mainly because _. A. they are tired of eating bread B. they are too rich to value bread C. they dont like the taste of bread D. they dont put any energy into making bread 11. Many British people fail to make bread by themselves at home b
34、ecause _. A. they are very busy B. they dont earn much money C. they become lazier than before D. they dont know how to bake bread D Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be
35、 spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked. Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and envir
36、onments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible. Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified
37、and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects. Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be mor
38、e than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellite
39、s for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products of technological developments in the space industry! While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent membe
40、rs of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the cha
41、nce to save ourselves might not exist. While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the f

43、ndency to fight. C. Humans may find new sources of food. D. Humans dont like to stay in the same place. 14. The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to _. A. survival chancesB. unexpected benefits C. potential resourcesD. physical possessions 15. Which of the statements can bes
44、t sum up the passage? A. Space exploration has created many wonders. B. Space exploration provides the best value for money. C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology. D.
