阅读理解。     Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. "The
railway owes me£12," she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. "You sold me a ticket
for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It
cost me 12."
     Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "Come into the office, Madam," he
said politely. "I"ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd."
     The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There
was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He couldn"t have sold her a
ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. "You look sunburnt," he said to her. "Did
you have a nice holiday in Jersey?"
     "Yes," she answered, shyly. "The beach was lovely. And I can swim too."
     "That"s fine," said Harry. "My little girl can"t swim a bit yet. Of course, she"s only three..."
     "I"m four," the child said proudly. "I"ll be four and a half."
     Harry turned to the mother. "I remember your ticket, Madam," he said. "But you didn"t get one for your
daughter, did you?"
     "Er, well..." the woman looked at the child. "I mean...she hasn"t started school yet. She"s only four."
     "A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child"s return ticket to Jersey costs...let me see...
£13. 50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe the railway 1.50. The law is the law, but since the
fault was mine..."
     The woman stood up, took the child"s hand and left the office. 1. The woman was angry because _____. A. she couldn"t use the ticket for her round trip
B. she had to return home a day earlier than she had planned
C. she spent more money than she had expected
D. Harry had sold her a ticket to Jersey where there was no sailing 2. Harry was worried because _____. A. the woman was angry with him
B. he had not done his work properly
C. the Jersey timetable was wrong
D. the little girl didn"t have a return ticket 3. Harry started talking to the little girl _____. A. because he was in difficulty and did not know what to do
B. because he had a little girl about the same age as this girl
C. because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so nice
D. when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl 4. When Harry said,"The law is the law, but since the fault was mine..." he meant that _____. A. they must follow it without other choice, even though the fault was his
B. he had to be strict with the woman because of the law, although he didn"t want to
C. the woman had to pay him£1.50 and the railway would pay her for the hotel
D. she should pay£1.50, but he had made a mistake, so she could go without paying 5. The woman left the office without saying anything because _____. A. she wanted to go home and get money for the child"s ticket
B. she was so angry that she didn"t want to have anything more to do with the young man
C. she was moved by Harry"s kindness
D. she knew she would have to pay the railway if she insisted

完形填空。     I grew up in a community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him
into a   1   village called Mijas, on condition that I took the car in to be   2   at a nearby garage. I readily
accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas, and   3   to pick him up at 4 pm, and then dropped off the car at the   4  .
With several hours to spare, I went to a theater.   5   when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two
hours late!
     I knew Dad would be angry if he   6   I"d been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth.
When I   7   there I apologized for being late, and told him I"d   8   as quickly as I could, but that the car
had needed a major repair. I"ll never forget the   9   he gave me. "I"m disappointed you  10  you have to lie
to me, Jason." Dad looked at me again. "When you didn"t  11 , I called the garage to ask if there were any 
 12 , and they told me you hadn"t yet picked up the car." I felt  13  as I weakly told him the real reason. A

going to walk home now and think seriously about  16  I"ve gone wrong all these years." "But Dad, it"s 18
miles!" My protests and apologies were  17 . Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him,  18  him all
the way, but he walked silently.
     Seeing Dad in so much  19  and emotional pain was my most painful experience. However, it was  20  
the most successful lesson. I have never lied since.

     James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully   1   the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all
that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90!   2   on earth was he going to get the   3   of the money?
     He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was   4   to hang around with people when you were the only
one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no   5   asking his parents, for he knew
they had no money to   6  .
     There was only one way to get money, and that was to   7   it. He would have to find a job.   8   who would
hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had   9   on most things.
     "Well, you can start right here," said Mr. Clay. "My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing."
     That was the  10  of James"s odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing
his homework. He was amazed by the  11  of jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for
walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the  12  of cars he washed and windows he
cleaned, but the  13  increased and he knew that he would soon have  14  for the bicycle he longed for.

shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode  17  home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his
friends. It had been hard  18  for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more  19  he had
bought it with his own money. He had  20  what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than
the bicycle.

     At first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English. Nadia would not reply
to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade
School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand
what people were saying.
     "Why did they do this?" Kate wondered aloud. "I mean, you can"t learn if you can"t understand the teacher."
Nadia"s voice was a whisper. "I understand English. I will learn." Nadia"s English was perfect.
     Kate was perplexed. She couldn"t understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then she realized that
moving to a new country probably wasn"t the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and
unusual things to learn-all at the same time.
     "There"re a lot of new things to learn, huh?" said Kate. Nadia nodded rapidly. In a quiet voice she replied.
"Many things people say, I do not understand. I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I
do not know what some children are saying. For example, yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the
USB port on a thin black box he was carrying. Isn"t a port a place for ships? It made no sense to me." "Don"t
worry." said Kate. "You"ll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black box was a computer. A USB
port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer." Nadia and Kate were quiet after that.
They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson. To Kate"s surprise, Nadia put up her hand and offered
to answer questions at the blackboard.
     Nadia solved every question the teacher gave her. Some of the questions were really difficult, and no one
understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When the teacher said that Nadia answered
everything correctly, the whole class clapped their hands.
     Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate. "Some things," she said in a normal voice, "are
the same all over the world."
1. At the beginning of Nadia"s first day at school, she was _____.
A. disappointed
B. helpful
C. lively
D. shy
2. The underlined word "perplexed" probably means _____.
A. puzzled
B. angry
C. shocked
D. serious
3. We can infer from the passage that _____.
A. Nadia did not like Kate
B. Nadia had lived by the sea before
C. Nadia had never seen a computer before
D. Nadia spoke in a soft voice out of politeness
4. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Nadia was better at maths than other students.
B. Nadia found some of the maths questions difficult.
C. Nadia was encouraged to answer questions in class.
D. Nadia understood the maths better than other teachers.
5. What is the message of the story? 
A. Talking about something familiar gives you confidence in communication.
B. Answering questions in class makes you better understood by classmates.
C. Language plays an important role in communication between cultures.
D. Mathematics helps to improve communication between cultures.

     Peter was mad on mountains. Climbing was the love of his life. Church towers, seaside cliffs, rock faces,
ice mountains, anything-"If it"s there," he used to say, "then I want to climb it." So the news of his marriage
gave me a surprise. I"d never known him to take much interest in girls. Well, well, Peter was a married man!
I couldn"t get over it. I wondered whether his wife would try to stop some of risky adventures.
     She was French perhaps-from that place where he usually spent his holidays. Chamonis, wasn"t it? From
Chamonis he"d climbed Mont Blanc on his seventeenth birthday, and one of the Aifuilles the day after! That
was it, then, she was French from a family, most of whom like climbing. No doubt. No other explanation.
     A month later I met them both in town. Anna surprised me because she was English. She was a dancer
in the theater. "Never climbed more than sixty steps in my life," she told me. "Peter has his interests, and I"ve
got mine. No problems." "None at all," Peter said, smiling.
     "Where did you spend your honeymoon?" "I flew to New York to see the drake Dancers on Broadway.
A wonderful show!"
     Peter said, "I didn"t want to miss the good weather. So I went to Switzerland and climbed the north face
of the Eiger with Allen Dunlop. Great fun, the Eiger. Grand place for a honeymoon! I"ll show you the photos
we took one day."
1. "Peter was mad on mountains" means _____.

3. According to the passage, after Peter"s marriage _____.
A. he would stop mountain climbing because his wife didn"t Iike it
B. his wife would stop him from mountain climbing
C. he himself would give up his love
D. Peter would continue his love and so he did
4. The writer had thought the only reason why Peter married was that the girl _____.
A. might be French living near the mountain, and from a mountaineer family
B. would not stop his climbing
C. perhaps came from France
D. might live near the mountain
5. Peter and Anna"s marriage is probably _____.

B. happy because each of them respected the other"s love
C. painful because either of them would do their own thing
D. a mistake because either of them wouldn"t care the other"s love
