Passage Four
Dressing fashionably was very important in fourteenth-century Spain. This was especially true for any man who considered himself an aristocrat or dandy. Before going out, a well-dressed man would put on his finest boots, one of his embroidered caps and his favorite beard, dyed to match the color of his clothing.
Believe it or not, false beards were once as popular as neckties are today. Beards had for years considered a sign of strength and manhood, and the bigger and thicker they were, the better. Those unfortunates who had little facial hair were forced by custom into wearing false beards made of horsehair. Soon, however man in the Spanish fashion world was wearing them too, while many quite substantial real beards were shaved off to make way for the false variety.
By day, the fashionable dandy might wear a yellow or a crimson beard to impress his friends, but in the evening a long black beard was proper for serenading his senorita, Any color or shape of beard could be had.
However, as you can imagine, the growth of this unusual custom created many interesting problems. People with similar beards were mistaken for one another. Creditors could not find debtors, and police often arrested the wrong people, while the real villain escaped wearing their hairy disguises. The price of horsehair skyrocketed. Finally, King Philip IV of Aragon put a stop to all the foolishness by outlawing the wearing of false beards.
46. What is the passage mostly concerned with?
A. The size of beards.
B. The color of beards.
C. Varieties of false beards.
D. The custom of wearing false beards.

Passage One
One of the well-known of American writers is Samuel Clemens, whose pen name is Mark Twain. Bom in 1835, Twain grew up in the Mississippi River town of Hannibal, Missouri. As did many other boys of his day,
Twain dreamed of traveling on river boats and of someday becoming a riverboat pilot. Twain used his memories of the life of a river town in his two most famous books, Huckleberry Finn and Torn Sawyer.
As a young man, Twain held many jobs. He was a printer, a good miner, and, for a time, he was a riverboat pilot. During his pilot days, he adopted the name Mark Twain. This was a term used by the boatmen to mean that the water measured two fathoms, or twelve feet, which was deep enough for safe passage.
Finally Twain became a successful writer. He traveled a great deal, writing and speaking, and became very popular both in the United States and in Europe.
Twain's style. of writing was simple and direct. Among the things he wrote about were superstitious (迷信的) people and people who were easily fooled. He used his unusual gift for humor to write about many things of importance.

A. a riverboat pilot
B. a printer
C. a gold miner
D. a famous writer

第23题：
单选题According to the passage, Shi Li and Cui Jiping ______.Aare disabled people full of love
Bwrote many famous books
Cfinished the book by themselves
Dlive a very poor life
正确答案： B解析：
由文中第二段“They are disabled. They completed the first Chinese encyclopedic (百科知识的) dictionary for deaf people and people with hearing problems.”可知，他们是充满爱心的残疾人，故A项正确。B项错误，他们只是完成了中国第一部为有听觉障碍的人群编写的百科知识字典，原文中并没有说他们写了很多书。原文第四段提到“They first collected material for the book by themselves; then they invited a lot of experts (专家) across the country to write.”他们并不是独立完成这本书的，只是初步收集资料，然后请全国专家编纂。故C项也错误。D项原文中并没有提及，故也不选。
