阅读理解。    Mr and Mrs Brown were going abroad for their holiday. They had a dog called Blackie which they were
very fond of, but they could not take him abroad with them, so they looked for a good place to leave him in
while they were away, and at last found a place which looked after dogs very well while their owners were
away. They took Blackie there just before they left for their holiday, and sadly said goodbye to him.
    At the end of their holiday, they got back to England very late at night, and as they thought that the place
where Blackie was staying might be closed at that hour, they decided to wait until the next morning before
going to get him back.
    So the next morning Mr Brown got into his car and drove off happily to collect Blackie.
    When he reached home with the dog,he said to his wife. "Do you know, dear, I don"t think Blackie can
have enjoyed his stay at that place very much. He barked all the way home in the car as if he wanted to tell
me something."
    Mrs Brown looked at the dog carefully and then answered, "You are quite right, dear. He was certainly
trying to tell you something. But he wasn"t trying to tell you that he hadn"t enjoyed his stay at that place, he
was only complaining (抱怨) that you were bringing the wrong dog home. This isn"t Blackie! 1. The Browns decided to leave their dog somewhere while they were away because _____. [     ]
A. they were not fond of him any more
B. they did not want to take him with them
C. the dog refused to go with them
D. they were not allowed to take him abroad 2. They _____ before they left for their holiday.[     ]
A. asked a friend to take care of the dog
B. left it to their house keeper
C. took it to an old man who looked after dogs very well
D. found Blackie a good place where dogs were taken care of 3. As the dog _____, he barked all the way. [     ]
A. did not recognize Mr Brown
B. had something to tell his old master

阅读理解。    Like most July days, it was hot. I stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to cool off with a chocolate ice-cream.
It was an old-time store with little round tables and chairs.
    As I entered, I found a very old woman bent over a table near the door. Her back was so badly twisted by
some sadness that her face nearly touched the table top. I sat down facing her a couple of tables away.
     "Poor woman," I thought, "what does she get out of life? Why God let people live so long past their prime
(盛年)?"
     As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking
about childhood days. They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years ……In minutes, the two of
them were trembling with laughter. I looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall,
catching a picture of myself.
   I was wearing a dirty shirt.
     She was well dressed in white, her hands sparking with gold rings.
    I was gloomy (愁闷的)
     She was laughing, smiling.
     I sat alone.
     She was sharing the day with a good friend.
    I was secretly worried about getting old
     She was old, but it wasn"t hurting her.
     As I left the shop, I thought of my foolish question about God letting people live past their prime. Why,
that woman was more alive, more sensitive (敏感的) to life than I was. Age has not bent her spirit. 1. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?[     ]
A. To tell us the life of old people.
B. To show the difference between the old and the young.
C. To show that old age does not mean doing short of spirit.

A. the old lady was very lonely and sad
B. he had more problems than the old lady
C. the old lady had lived a full and satisfying life

完形填空。    Tick, tock, tick, tock. I"m sitting here, watching the movements of my existence pass slowly away. My
house has been   1   for such a long time and I"m lonely and forgotten. Sitting here, by myself, all that I can
do is   2   and think about my past. I could tell you stories that only   3   would know. But walls can"t speak.
    I came to this place many years ago, along with an old man...   4 , he was with me for only three short
years before he passed away....
    For a time, I was left alone, while people came and   5   the house.... Then, one day a nice couple moved
in with a young son. From the beginning, their son Danny liked to stay with me, and I was completely   6
with him. He always looked as if he loved the stories I told, most of which began with "Back in my day..."
and "When I was younger..." I sometimes had the kind of idea that he didn"t really understand what I was
saying, but it felt good to be   7 .... When Danny went off to college, my heart broke. Soon afterwards,
  8 sold the house....
    New owners came and   9  . Then, one day it so happened that I was in when a new family was moving
into the house. You can"t imagine my  10  when, unexpectedly, Danny walked through the front door. He had
a  11  and kids now. I was so overjoyed when I saw him that I put all my  12  into my daily activities.... I
spent the next twenty years watching his kids grow up, with a mixture of pride and anxiety about what would
happen next.
    The kids finally became  13  and Danny sold the house. That was about five years ago.... Some of the local
kids have started the rumor (谣言) that the house is haunted (闹鬼的)-and, in a way, it is. It is haunted by  14
of all the people who have lived in it. Every second has impressed me so much. I have been counting them
down and they are almost up for me.... I hope that someday somebody will  15  me, and call on me again.
Maybe then I"ll get a new home and a chance for a whole new set of memories.

阅读理解。

     Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there
a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
     My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his
family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me if I didn"t
got straight A"s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever
I went out with him on weekends, I used to try hard to think out things to say, feeling on guard.
     On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father"s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We
walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son"s funny facial
expressions. Gone was my father"s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my
father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
     The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood.
Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so
many years, I"m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I"m delighted with my new friend.
My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
