The Zhoukoudian Relics (遗迹) Museum of palaeoanthropology (古人类学) is seated in Fangshan District in Beijing. The museum's construction first began in 1953, totaling 1，000 square meters. It systematically (系统地) introduces the life, environment and conditions of the Peking Man who existed 600，000 years ago, the Xindong Man of 100，000 years ago and the Upper Cave Man of 18，000 years ago.
In 1929, Chinese palaeoanthropologist Pei Wenzhong unearthed the first complete fossilized (石化) skull from the Peking Man in Longgu Mountain — a discovery that shook the world.

In the late 1960s, the Xindong Man relics that existed 100，000 years ago were excavated (发掘) in the same place.

Lao Zi, also Li Dan by name, lived in late Spring and Autumn Period. He was from the state of Chu. He was a knowledgeable person that even the great Confucius had once consulted (咨询) him on things that he couldn't understand as a young man. Lao Zi wrote the book DaoDeJing, the classic for Daoism.
“Dao” is the core (核心) of Lao Zi's philosophy. “Dao” in its original meaning, is a road that leads to all directions. Lao Zi gave a new meaning to it. By the word Dao, he means it is the basic element (元素，成分) or root that can give birth to all things, and at the same time, it is independent of all other things.
Lao Zi believed that things are established in their antithetical (对立的) relationship. We can see the positive (积极的) side of the things and at the same time, we should also see the negative (消极的) side of them. When the opposite side develops to the extreme, it will have to turn to the other side. When things reach their prime (鼎盛时期), they have to decline.
He also believed that quantity changes could lead to quality changes. For example, a small seed could grow into a tall tree. He encouraged people that continued efforts will eventually bring about success.
Lao Zi was against wars and over taxation (征税) from the ruling class. His Utopia (理想国) is: a small state with a small population. Everything would be so convenient that people could go about their life without the need for carriages and boats. People eat well and dress finely. Two states could be very near that each could hear the noise from the other side, but never in their life should they have the necessity of exchange with each other. There's not even the need for writings.
Lao Zi's philosophy later had a great influence on later philosophers.
25．Confucius had once consulted Lao Zi on things, which showed that Lao Zi ________．
A．was famous B．was hard-working
C．knew a lot D．liked to help others
26．Lao Zi thought “Dao” ________．
A．is the root of all thingsB．is the end of all things
C．only means a road D．means nothing
27．Which of the following can be the belief of Lao Zi?
A．When misfortune reaches the limit, good fortune is at hand.
B．A bad thing never dies.
C．A close mouth catches no flies.
D．Actions speak louder than words.
28．Which of the following ideas is Lao Zi for?
A．People dress well in a big country with a small population.21教育名师原创作品
B．People dress well in a small country with a large population.
C．People dress well in a small country with a small population.
D．People are taxed by the ruling class.

Luckily I got hold on one of the bottom branches. My cousin suddenly started climbing down and tried to help me. After he put me on the ground, he ran to get some help.

Do you know how to prepare for and survive a major earthquake? According to Department of Conservation scientists, it is important to have the right answer to that question.
How to Be Prepared
Electricity, water, gas (煤气) and telephones may not be working after an earthquake. The police and fire departments are likely to be tied up. You should be prepared to fend_for yourself for at least three days, preferably for a week. You'll need food, water and so on. It's also a good idea to decide ahead of time how and where your family will reunite if separated during a quake. You might choose an out-of-the-area friend or relative that family members can call to check on you.
________
If you're indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or table. The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot. If you're in an office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator. If you're outside, get into the open. Stay clear of buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you. If you're driving, move the car out of traffic and stop. Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses.
After an Earthquake
Check for fire. If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve (阀). If there's sign of damage to electrical wiring, shut off the power at the control box. If the phone is working, only use it in case of emergency (紧急情况). Avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles. Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch. Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks, sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right, generally follow large quakes. If you leave home, leave a message telling your friends and family your location.
33．The underlined phrase “fend for” in the second paragraph probably means “________”．
A．look for B．take care of
C．be proud of D．think of
34．Which of the following would be the best subtitle for the third paragraph?
A．Before an Earthquake
B．After Making Preparations
C．While Staying at Home
D．During an Earthquake
35．According to the passage, why doesn't the author advise driving after an earthquake?
A．Because it is dangerous to drive as there will be aftershocks.
B．Because your car will be easily damaged in the streets full of blocks.
C．Because you should make way for emergency vehicles.
D．Because you can't find a place to park your car.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do You Have the Time? In English, this question has two different meanings. The first one is “Do you know what time it is？” While commonly, this is less frequently used than the simpler question with the same meaning “What time is it？” The other is “Do you have the time (e.g. to do this or that)？” This is a very commonly asked question, whether in American, British, or Australian English. I think the response “I don't have the time” is most commonly used year after year. 36.________
Think about how often you (and I) have used this as an explanation of why we couldn't do something, take on a new task, help someone, visit someone, etc. Sometimes it's a statement of fact, and sometimes it's just an excuse. 37.________ However, deep down we each have a pretty clear idea of the difference. In practical terms, the lack of available time seems to be and often is a true reason for why we cannot take something on. 38.________ “I just don't have the time” is too often an escape. Once we get to a certain age, when we are generally considered to be grown-ups, we are expected to have developed time management skills. In many instances, “I don't have the time” has the same meaning as “I am not willing to make the time”. Sure, we're all busy, but in the end, it's a matter of which is more important.
39．________ It doesn't grow on trees or fall from the sky like raindrops. You make the time as well as most of the related decisions about what is important. 40.________ If you don't decide on the use of your time, the decision will be taken away from you. It's really up to us to decide on how to balance and manage time, and that's a challenge.
A．No one gives you the time.
B．After all, it's so convenient as an excuse.
C．The key is what criteria you rely on to make decisions.
D．The distinction here between them is blurry (模糊不清的) and subjective.
E．Be aware it's the world's most common excuse, whether you speak it out or not.
F．But it does mean we need to develop a clear approach to time management.
G．Actually if we try to rearrange our time, or make a sacrifice, we can make it.
