小题1: C。a lift 意为“搭便车”，与题意吻合。
小题1: A。as 意为“当…时”。
小题1: B。learn 意为“获悉、认识到”。此句意为：当司机和那搭车人谈话时，意识到此人是从监狱逃跑的。
小题1: D。at the thought of 意为“一想到”。此句意为：一想到钱司机就非常害怕。
小题1: B。a bright idea 意为“一个巧主意”。
小题1: A。put on speech 意为“加速”，与后面drove as quickly as possible相一致。
小题1: C。run after 意为“跟随、跟踪”。

小题1: D。dangerous 意为“危险的”，这里有两个意思：一是开车快危险；二是车有逃犯在车上开车危险。

小题1: D。由下文可知：逃犯要下车(get out)。
小题1: D。由于上下文可知：逃犯认为司机很友好，没有告密，所以十分感谢他(Thank you)。
小题1: A。司机没有告密，在逃犯看来司机是很友好的(kind)。(from www.nmet168.com)
小题1: C。既然司机救了逃犯，逃犯十分感激，所以想做件好事(把警察的记录本还给警察)作为回报(in return)。
小题1: D。由后面的定语从句可知：交给司机的东西是警察的记录本。 |

The painter Georgia O’keeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887 and grew up on her family’s farm. At seventeen she decided she wanted to be an artist and left the farm for schools in Chicago and New York, but she never lost her bond with the land. Like most painters, O’Keeffe painted the things that were most important to her, and nearly all her works are simplified portrayals of nature.
O’Keeffe became famous when her paintings were discovered and exhibited in New York by the photographer Levered Stieglitz, whom she married in 1924. During a visit to New York in 1929, O’Keeffe was so moved by the bleak（荒凉的） landscape and broad skies of the Western desert that she began to paint its images. Cows’ skulls and other bleached（变白的） bones found in the desert figured prominently（突出的） in her paintings. When her husband died in 1946, she moved to New Mexico permanently and used the horizon lines of the desert, colorful flowers, rocks, barren(贫瘠的) hills, and the sky as subjects for her paintings. Although O’Keeffe painted her best known works in the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s, she continued to produce tributes（贡品、颂词） to the Western desert until her death in 1986.
O’Keeffe is widely considered to have been a pioneering American modernist painter. While most early modern American artists were strongly influenced by European art, O’Keeffe’s position was more independent. She established her own vision and preferred to view her painting as a private endeavor. Almost from the beginning, her work was more indentifiably American than that of her contemporaries in its simplified and idealized treatment of color, light, space, and natural forms.
小题1: Which of the following best tells what this passage is about ?| A．O’Keeffe was a distinctive modern American painter. | | B．O’Keeffe was the best painter of her generation. | | C．O’Keeffe liked to paint only what was familiar to her. | | D．O’Keeffe used colors and shapes that are too reduced and simple. |
小题2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an influence on O’Keeffe’s paintings ?| A．Her rural upbringing | B．Her life in the West | | C．The works of European artists | D．The appearance of the natural landscape |
小题3:Which of the following is most similar to O’Keeffe’s relationship with nature?| A．A photoghrapher’s relationship with a model. | | B．A writer’s relationship with a publisher. | | C．A student’s relationship with a teacher | | D．A carpenter’s relationship with a hammer. |
小题4:Why is O’Keeffe considered an artistic pioneer ?| A．Her work became influential in Europe. | | B．She painted the American Southwest. | | C．Her paintings had a definite American style. | | D．She painted things that were familiar to her. |

A Charlotte, NC, lawyer bought a box of very rare and expensive cigars, and then insured them against fire among other things．Having smoked his entire great cigars within a month, the lawyer filed claim （索赔） against the insurance company．
In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires"．Of course the insurance company refused to pay, giving the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal way．
The lawyer brought the case to the court and out of everybody’s expectation, he actually won! At the end of the trial the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was crazy．But the judge said that the lawyer held a policy （保险单） from the company in which it had promised that the cigars were insured and that it would insure them against fire．Because the company didn’t say what is considered to be unacceptable fire, it had to pay the claim．
Rather than put up with long and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the punishment and paid $ 15 ,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the "fires．"
After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested and accused him of arson （纵火罪）．With his own insurance claim from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was charged with burning his insured possessions on purpose and was sentenced to 24 months in prison and a $ 24,000 fine．
