解析
本文作者用第三人称的口吻叙述了发生在母亲小时候居住的老房子里的三件令人感到恐怖的事情。
小题1:A 根据前面的语境Since there were not enough rooms for them可以推测，他们家没有足够的房间，因此母亲的两个姐妹只能共用较大的卧室。share表示“分享，共享”。
小题2:C 接下来的三段分别讲述了发生在母亲小时候居住的老房子里的三件恐怖的事情。第一，母亲10岁那年，莫名其妙地听见楼下有人喊叫自己的名字；第二，外婆在厨房做饭的时候，几把椅子自动来回移动，当时除了外婆外只有母亲的小妹妹在家；最后，明明听见有人敲门，但是将门打开时，门外却空无一人……这三件事都是非常奇怪的事情，故选C。
小题3:C 由第一段最后一句及本段第三句内容可知，她的哥哥应该是去了“楼下的”厨房。
小题4:C 根据下文的She asked him who the girl on the stairs was可以分析出，这里指女性的声音。
小题5:B 根据第一段her brother in a room down the hall and she slept in the top room of the building和本题之后的the stairs to the top room可以判断出，这里指上楼的脚步声。come up在此表示“上来”。
小题6:B 根据前后语境分析，这里指几小时后，母亲的哥哥过来看母亲在做什么。
小题7:B 根据第二段的信息词the first和第四段的信息词the last可以判断出，此处应该讲的是第二个令人胆战心惊的故事。
小题8:A 由下文About ten minutes later she turned around and three of the chairs were pulled out一句可推知此题答案。pull out 拉出。
小题9:C 根据前文My grandmother was cooking supper in the kitchen可以推测出，这里指外婆将两把椅子塞进去后又回去做饭。因此cooking符合语境和逻辑。
小题10:C 根据后面的语境because only my mother"s little sister was home at the time可知，除了母亲的小妹妹只有外婆一个人在家，但几把椅子出出进进，自然让外婆感到害怕。故选择C。
小题11:D 根据故事发展的情节来分析，这里强调之最。因为前面两次并没有吓得他们搬家，而从the one that made them move away推测，这次吓得他们搬家了，因此这是最糟的一次“恐怖事件”。
小题12:B 根据语境when there was a knock on the door判断，这里指Josie 去开门，answer在此表示“应门声开门”。
小题13:A 根据后面的信息词some water和信息句when she returned to the living room可以推测，Josie是去厨房找水。
小题14:C gone在此表示“不见了”。
小题15:A 语境found Sarah sleeping in her bed强调的是结果，因此in the end(最终)符合语境。
小题16:D 根据后面的语境because Sarah couldn"t...the stairs without help because they were very steep可以推测，这是不可能发生的事情。
小题17:C 根据原因状语从句because they were very steep中的信息词steep(陡峭的)可以知道，这里指Sarah是不可能自己爬到楼上去的。
小题18:A 由上文可知，Sarah睡到了楼上她的床上，因此这里强调Josie将Sarah带下了楼。
小题19:C 语境Then the phone rang表明了这里是指我的外婆打电话说我外公去世了。
小题20:A be about to do sth.when...表示“刚要做某事突然……”。 |

Zipped into a bag, it looks like a large umbrella. Unfolded, it goes along the street like any other bicycle.
It"s the "A-bike", the brainchild (脑力劳动的产物) of British inventor Sir Clive Sinclair, who made history in the 1970s by developing the world"s first pocket calculator. He described his new invention as "the world"s smallest, lightest foldable bicycle".
"My original thought was that if you could have a bicycle that was dramatically lighter and more firm than the ones that exist today, it would change the way in which bicycles are used,"said Sinclair.
The mini-bike, showed in Singapore last week and set to go on sale worldwide in 2005 at a price of nearly US$300, is built for riders as heavy as 112 kilograms and is height-adjustable（可调整高度的）. It takes about 20 seconds to fold or unfold.
Its wheels are a quarter the size of those on a regular bicycle, but Sinclair promises a smooth ride for most cyclists. "You require no extra energy to ride the A-bike and it can go up to 15 miles per hour (24 kilometers per hour)," he said. Constructed mainly of plastic, the 5.5-kilogram bicycle folds into a package of less than 0.03 cubic meters （立方米）.
Sinclair also invented the first pocket TV in 1984 and the futuristic C5 electric tricycle in 1985. He said he hoped the bicycle would attract common citizens, officials, campers or anyone needing transport for a short trip and he said the next step for the A-bike was to add an electric motor in a few years.

小题2:The wheels of a regular bicycle is ________ the size of this kind of bike. | A．four times | | B．three times | | C．one-fourth | | D．one-third |
小题3:This kind of new bike is mainly made of ________ . | A．plastic | B．packages | C．bags | D．metal |
小题4:The best title of the text is ________ . | A．World"s smallest foldable bicycle arriving | | B．A new bike, a large umbrella | | C．A foldable bike, a large bag | | D．A great inventor of a new bike |
小题5:This kind of new bike hasn"t been fixed with ________ . | A．a wheel | | B．an electric motor | | C．pedal | | D．a hand |

Modern life is impossible without travelling. The fastest way of travelling is by plane. With a modern airline you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to hundred years ago.
Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages(便利). You can see the country you are travelling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish where there is something interesting to see, at good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why travelling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or plane when they are travelling on business.
