Except for some short songs and poems 19 （include） in his plays, all of Shakespeares greatest poems are sonnets.John Milton was one of the first poets who started writing poems without rhyme at the end of the l
11、ines. He wrote other poems too, 20 he is famous for his long poems without rhyme. After Milton, almost every poet had a hand at this kind of poetry that was free of rhyme.

I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black in
16、k on the official questionnaire. “Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in this field?” Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research （what mother doesnt）, in the lab and in the field （normally I would have
17、said indoors and out）. Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities （any mother care to disagree?）, and I often work 14 hours a day （24 is more like it）. But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.” There was a
18、n increasing note of respect in the clerks voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out. As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up （依托） by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants-aged 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model （a 6-month-old baby

24、ry means the average persons share of the goods and services which the country produces. A countrys standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: “goods”
25、such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and entertainment.A countrys capacity to produce wealth depends on many factors, most of which have an effect on one another.

A. in natural resources，but suffered for many years fro
28、m civil and external wars，and, for this and other reasons, was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions and freedom from foreign invasion enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally w

Old countries that have trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians through many centuries are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely uns
30、killed. In addition, wealth also produces wealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have more money for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to produce more goods in their working days.31. A countrys wealth depends upon_.A. its standard of living B. its ability to provide goods and servicesC. its money D. its ability to provide transport and entertainment32.
