When talking about French literature, Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) is often the first name that comes to mind for Chinese readers.
The master of short story-telling was brought in Normandy(诺曼底) in northwest France. In 1869, he went to study law in Pairs but one year later, aged 20, he volunteered to serve in the army during the Franco-Prussian War(普法战争).
Returning to Pairs in 1871，Maupassant worked as a civil servant for eight years. His rich experience offered good subject matter for his writing. And he learned a lot through spending time with other French literary masters such as Gustave Flaubert. By 1880, Maupassant had established himself in the literary world with his first short story, “Ball of Fat”。
Over the course of his life, he wrote 300 short stories and six novels, using sad tales of Norman peasant life, the Franco-Prussian War and the fashionable life of Pairs as his subject matter.
He presents his characters in a simple and objective way, describing them as unhappy victims(牺牲品) of their greed(贪婪), desire or vanity(虚荣).
During his final years of life, Maupassant suffered from mental illness. He died in 1893 at the age of 43.

Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a tops. The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer — Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius’ Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blue’s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as ＄16 800 for it.

Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions（探险） but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.
Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them.Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry_did_not_even_know_what_the_time_was,_how_many_spots_he_dived_into_or_how_many_photographs_he_had_taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.
Larry looked at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already, she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.
56、 In what way was this expedition different for Larry?
A. His daughter had grown up.
B. He had become a famous diver.
C. His father would dive with him.
D. His daughter would dive with him.
57、 What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. Larry had some privileges.
B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.
C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.
D. Tenyearold children were permitted to dive.
58、 Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?
A. To protect himself from danger.
B. To dive into the deep water.
C. To admire the underwater view.
D. To take photo more conveniently.
59、 What can be learned from the underlined sentence?
A. Larry didn't wear a watch.
B. Larry was not good at maths.
C. Larry had a poor memory.
D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.
60、 What did Larry expect his daughter to do?

【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一位名叫Larry的海底探险家准备带他的女儿去海底探险以及他的海底探险经历。
56.D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“He decided to take his daughter along with him.”可知，这一次的不同之处在于他的女儿将与他一起潜水，故选D项。
57.A 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even been allowed to dive.”可知，潜水前有导师指导并训练他，在他那个年龄的孩子甚至不允许潜水，由此可推断，他有一些特权，故选A项，同时可知D项有误。根据第四、五句“…by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them.”可知B项有误。C项在本段找不到相关信息。
58、 A 细节理解题。根据第三段第四、五句“Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his research. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him.”可知，他待在笼子里应该是为了保护自己，故选A项。第三段最后一句只是对待在笼子里的补充，而不是其原因，故不能选C或D项。
59.D 句意理解题。根据画线句以及后一句“The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.”可知，Larry喜欢这些探险以至于忘却了时间，沉浸于其中。
60、 A 细节理解题。根据本文最后一句“This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.”可知，Larry期望他的女儿成为一位成功的潜水员。
ln the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others.Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning （按喇叭） or even shouting at me.At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twentyfour years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood.Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pas s.They couldn’t get aro und me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are few and far often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we’re brave when we’re scared.
