解析

试题分析：文章是警署写给报警人的回信，通知了她所报告的案件的进展，并且给了报告人一些指示和信息。
小题1:细节题。根据信件开头的寄信人地址，可知信件是从Thames Valley Police寄出的，所以选B。
小题2:主旨大意题。根据这封信件的内容可以知道，写信的目的是告诉举报人事件进展，致以感谢，通知日后动向等，ABD都不够全面，所以选C
小题3:细节题。根据第三段中的信息可以得出，案件若被解决警方会联系报案人；如果没被解决她则不会受到信件，案件也会被列为未解决。但警方不会去拜访她。所以选A
小题4:词义推断题。根据上下文，这里句子的意思是，如果有任何新的线索出现我们会重新审视此案，所以选A

举一反三

As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious(叛逆)on the outside,      on the inside I wanted people to     .
Once I left home to hitchhike(搭便车)to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t     , and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular       me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home, I was different—not so outwardly sure of myself.

I pointed out, “She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful      , but I was the only person who could fill my      . She made me realize that even with my      , —and they were many—I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.
I became a searcher,       who I was and what made me unique. My       of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist pressure to       in ways that I didn’t like any more, and I       who I really was. I came to feel much more       that no one can ever take my place.
Each of us       a unique place in the world. You are special, no matter what others say or what you may think. So       about being replaced. You       be.

In the face of tragedy，you must of course let yourself feel: Cry without holding back, shake with fear, yell out in anger, accept and follow your feelings. This is part of the wise approach to tragedy: The Upward Path —the feeling of emotions, the acceptance of them, and the coupling of the emotional mind with wisdom. Along this path, you"ll take the experience —no matter how sad or upsetting —as a learning event, just as a11 other points on your journey will prove to be. While tragic, you must recognize this is still a chance for all involved to grow. You should let both sadness and joy, fear and courage, dark and light fill your world, and learn to find your steady, calm center in the midst of the opposing forces. This is the Upward Path. Use the event as a chance to gain balance and discover wisdom —the wisdom of love and of letting go, of non-attachment and non-resistance, and using this experience to eventually help others in need of guidance.
Being able to relate to others who have also experienced tragedy and inspire in them hope — of recovery, and of moving forward —is perhaps the greatest gift you can receive from tragedy. Turn the negative into positive, the pain into connection. After you"ve taken appropriate time to be sad, to feel your own pain, you should make it your work，your goal, your purpose to connect with others who need help. Show them how you"ve experienced feelings, achieved
balance，and gained wisdom that you would never have otherwise had the chance to learn.
FEEL, but do not FEED on tragedy. Rather, let it inspire you to go beyond the person who you were before. With demise comes renewal, so let this loss be also your rebirth. No matter how hopeless it seems, no matter how difficult this becomes, you have the power to transform yourself into someone greater than you ever knew you could be.
小题1:When following the Upward Path, the person facing tragedy should _______.

A．free his emotions

B．hold back his feelings

C．fill his world with positive ideas

D．give in to tragedy and all opposing forces

小题2:According to the author，the greatest gift one gets from tragedy is being able to _______.

A．seek solutions from others

B．forgive others and move on

D．understand and help others

"He who can have patience can have what he wants," said Benjamin Franklin. They say patience is a virtue (美德) seldom found in women and never in men. This may or may not be true, but it"s fair to say that there is nobody on the earth who couldn"t benefit from more patience.
Patience is necessary for success.
It is said that "all good things come to those who wait". Many of the great scientists have remarked that their scientific discoveries came only through patient perseverance (坚持). Edison said, "Genius was 99% perspiration and only 1% inspiration." Patience teaches us to value the effort and not just the success. It is a mistake to think that happiness can only be obtained through achievements.
Patience brings peace of mind.
When we desire certain outcomes (结果), we"ll have no peace of mind. Even if one desire is filled, the nature of desire is that more will appear in its place. There is no end to human desires. Patience means we will work with an attitude of detachment (超然).
Patience can transform suffering into joy.
Throughout life we suffer injustice; the best healer is patience. Through being patient and accepting our situation, it"s quite possible for our suffering to be transformed.
Sri Chinmoy said, "If failure has the strength to turn your life into bitterness itself, then patience has the strength to turn your life into the sweetest joy."
小题1:Whose saying supports the idea that patience makes a person joyful?

A．Franklin"s

B．Edison"s

C．Chinmoy"s

D．Einstein"s

小题2:In the writer"s opinion, _____ .

A．human desires will easily be filled

B．patience is a virtue seldom found in a person

C．happiness can only be obtained through success
