D.More than 24 hours.BThe easy way out isnt always easiest . I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug , my husband of one month , to a
26、special meal . I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade break . Knowing the bread would take time , I started on it as soon as Doug left for work . As I was not experienced in cooking , I thought if a dozen was good , two dozen would be better , so I doubled everything
27、. As Dong loved oranges , I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl . Soon there was a sticky dough(面团)covered with ugly yellowish marks . realizing I had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldnt have to face Doug laughing at my work , I went on pre
28、paring the rest of the meal , and , when Doug got home , we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice . He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed . Twice he got up and went outside , saying he thought he heard a noise . The third time he left , I went to the windows to see what he was doing . Look
29、ing out , I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin , holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container . When I came out of the house , he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin . Picking up the stick again , he held the lid up
30、 enough for me to see . I felt cold . But I stepped closer and looked harder . Without doubt it was my work . The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing . I had to admit what the living thing was and why
31、 it was there . I dont know who was more embarrassed(尴尬)by the whole thing Doug or me.54.The writers purpose in writing this story is _A.to tell an interesting experienceB.to show the easiest way out of a difficultyC.to describe the trouble facing a newly married womanD.to explain the difficulty of

35、not only what you think , but also what others think you think what you think they think you think . The mental process(过程) is similar . Naturally , this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are , by any standards , good thinkers .The great mathematician John von Neumann w
36、as one of the founders of game theory . In particular , he showed that all games fall into two classes ; there are what he called games of perfect information, games like chess where the players cant hide anything or play tricks ; they dont win by chance , but by means of logic and skills . Then the
37、re are games of imperfect information, like poker , in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another.One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information . Quite the reverse Business , life itself are games which we
38、must normally play with very imperfect information . Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors(因素), best poker players . But few business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance , and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess
39、, not poker.59.The subject discussed in this text is _.A.the process of reaching decisionsB.the difference between poker and chess.C.the secret of making good business plansD.the value of information in winning games60.An important factor in a game of imperfect information is _.A.rules B.luck C.time

41、wn factorsC.regard business as a game of chessD.mix known and unknown factorsDOlaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men . in which he looked millions of years ahead . He told of different men and of strange civilisations(文明), broken up by long dark ages in between . In his view , what is
42、 called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men . In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.However , most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted . Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next
43、fifty years . But the next hundred ? The next thousand? The next million? Thats much more difficult.When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago , how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now , we may seem as primitive(原始的)in our ideas as the Stone-Ag
44、e hunters do to us . Perhaps through the cribe , These words , which I have just made up , have to stand for things and ideas that we simply cant think of .So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future ? Here are two reasons . First unless we remember how short our own lives are compare
45、d with the whole human history , we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are . If we make the earth a poor place to live because . we are careless or greedy(贪婪) or quarrelsome . our grand-children will not bother to think of excuses for us.Second , by trying
46、 to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future , we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves . For example , if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming , we can think of trying it now . So set you imagination free when you think about the future .63.A particular mention made of Stapledons book in the opening paragraph _A.serves as a
