阅读理解。     It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That"s more or less what happened
the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
     "I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue
lights and siren(警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off
quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder."
     But Hyde couldn"t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying
about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it
turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very
turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
     Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination(目的地). At that point he found another unit
had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn"t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the
driver of the firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panick about.
    "Just about that time," Hyde says, " I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil
going everywhere. He"s blown his engine. Now he had to stop."
     After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn"t have a driver"s license.
     That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to
mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.1. The meaning of “panicked” in paragraph 2 is related to _______.  A. happy
B. fear
C. anger
D. hate 2. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?  A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.
B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.
C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.
D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.3. Which of the following statements is true?  A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.
B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.
C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.
D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.4. The driver of the Firebird _________.  A. took a wrong turn on the way
B. had some trouble with his car
C. was stopped by the police officer
D. paid for the expenses of the accident 5. What is probably the best title for the article?  A. Losing His Way?
B. Going My Way?
C. Fun All the Way?
D. Help on the Way?

阅读理解。     My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live. Two dog walkers
passed by and we heard one of them say, "Never seen that dog around here before."
     We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling(蹒跚) painfully up the hill. We
bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar. There was a
phone number on the collar, but no one answered.
     The dog was painfully thin. It didn"t have many teeth left and, well, it just seemed done.
Julie ran home to get some of our dog"s food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with
me. Julie got home and back again when I was only half way there. So, we sat down on the sidewalk
while our new friend made short work of the food.
     Eventually we got her home. We gave her a blanket, more food, kept her warm and wondered
what to do next.
     After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch
of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father"s dog. She was very old and should
probably be put to sleep, but the lady just couldn"t bring herself to do it. So, Tara was safely returned
home.
     Here is the truth of the story:
     Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me
to come back, but I wasn"t hearing anything that made that sound likely.
I was about to turn and go when an old, worn out dog walked between us and collapsed. Suddenly
we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need
right before us and we had to work together to help it.
     We did help it. And here am I writing the story in my own home, in my own family.
In the song "Love Is Not a Fight" Warren Barfield talks about marriage. At one point he sings, "And
if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door."
     Sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs.1. Which of the following statements is true?A. The two dog walkers didn"t like the dog.
B. The old black dog was sick and weak and couldn"t walk.
C. After finding the dog, the writer phoned its owners.
D. Most of the dog"s teeth had been pulled out by someone.2. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ________.A. Julie bought some food for the dog
B. the writer had his own pet dog
C. the dog didn"t go with the writer
D. the dog didn"t eat any of the food3. After they got the dog home, the couple ________.A. decided to raise the dog
B. took good care of the dog
C. found out that its owner was a lady
D. found it hard to get to sleep4. The underlined part "our problem" in the passage refers to the fact that ________.A. the writer didn"t want to take Julie"s advice
B. Julie disagreed with the writer"s travel on business
C. an old and worn out dog appeared in front of them
D. the couple had some trouble with their marriage5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Helpful Couple.

阅读理解。     A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized (强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
     One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head,
shrugging his shoulders, he said, "You don"t say!" "You don"t say!" I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic (适当的话题). "Well, I"d better change the topic." So I said to him. "Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?" "Certainly, everyone back home
will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent." He was deep in thought when I
began to talk like a tourist guide. "The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud
of it." Soon I was interrupted again by his words:"You don"t say!" I couldn"t help asking, "Why do you ask me not to talk about it?" "Well, I didn"t request you to do so, " he answered, greatly surprised. I said, "
Didn"t you say" you don"t say?" Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, "You
don"t say" actually means "really!" It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don"t pay attention to English
idioms." Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with
idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students. 1. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because _______.A. English idioms were not important
B. I was not careful with English idioms
C. my teacher didn"t emphasize the importance of them
D. I had no interest in them2. At first, on hearing "You don"t say," I thought the foreigner meant _______.

A. he was not interested in the topic
B. he was only interested in the Great Wall
C. I had talked too much
D. I had to stop talking

3. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means _______.A. interesting
B. important
C. terrible
D. unlucky4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.
B. The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.
C. The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.
D. The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting.5. After the Englishman explained the idiom, _______.A. I thought the Englishman had made me a fool
B. the Englishman became a real fool.
C. I felt very silly
