解析

小题3:B:通过后文可以看出报纸应该是打开的，所以选open。
小题4:C:pretend to do sth 假装做某事
小题5:A:四个选项的意思分别为看见、发现、猜和学会。其中see比find更强调是自然地看见，而find有探索发现的意思。而我是很自然地看到他，所有选see更恰当。
小题6:D从前文看以看出我已经点了菜，是在等待上菜，menu含有菜单的意思，所以此处选择food更为恰当。
小题7:B: 四个选项的意思分别为直接的，相似的、陌生的和有趣的。从文中可以看出我和那个人的都很迷惑

小题12:A那个人付了帐后应该是离开， leave的过去式是left，所以应该选A,
小题13:A四个选项的意思分别为想要的、尝试的、订制的和希望的，只有wanted更符合句意‘
小题14:C:followed 是跟随的意思。因为那个人是侦探，他遇到我肯定是跟随而来。
小题15:D:look for 是寻找的意思，从文中可以看出这个侦探是在寻找嫌疑人。
小题16:B:surprise是吃惊的意思，因为我刚才并不知道这个人是侦探，所以吃惊。
小题17:A:must是必须地意思，因为从文中可以看出我和侦探寻找的那个人很相似。
小题18:B:make a mistake 犯了个错误。从文中看出那个侦探确实是搞错了。
小题19:D:lucky 幸运的。通过后文看以看出我是幸运的
小题20:C: Otherwise是否则的意思。真是因为老板认识我，我才免去了这一场麻烦。 |

Dear Betty,
My roommate’s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I’m excited about going, but I’m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I’m a little worried about making mistakes.
Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?
Yours,
Knowing Nothing
Dear Knowing Nothing,
It’s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.
Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you; it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.
If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.
Yours,
Betty

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin （顽童） was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.
Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He wished he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
“Oh yes, I’d love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again．“Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled （残疾） brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it… Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

Most students hate their endless homework. The students from Class 2, Senior 2 of the High School Affiliated to Peking University certainly did before they published their own collection of English novels at home.
Their small book contains stories about a holy (神圣的) war, the happy life of a self-taught artist and the story of a laid-off worker who devoted his last breath to playing his beloved accordion (手风琴). The book becomes an instant hit on campus. About 3,000 copies have been sold and the class is already working on the second volume.
"We’re up to our ears in homework. Exercises and exams make us out of breath. But to do something creative and full of imagination is such a great achievement," said Yu Xiaoxiao, 16.
"I took the writing as an ordinary homework at the beginning, but after I finished the first part of my story, I could not help but let it flow," said Wang An, who wrote "Accordion".
Inspired by "Lord of the Rings", Jiang Lu wrote his story about magic wars between angels from the light and the dark side. "The main message of the story was to look at the balance of the world. Both dark and light angels fight with love as their weapons. I want to tell people that selfish love might bring hate," Jiang said.
"I was shocked by their work and felt so proud to be the editor of my students’ book," said Nathaniel Timmermann, the oral English teacher at the school. Liu Xiuqin, an English teacher, started the project by asking students to write whatever was in their mind every week. "They have performed beyond expectation," Liu said. "They wrote interesting stories and their English has improved after they started to express their real minds."
"We never imagined that our homework would be so popular and profitable (盈利的). We sell the novels at five yuan, but many teachers pay more to encourage us," said Yuan Mengyao.
小题1: After Wang An finished the first part of his story, he _________.| A．couldn’t go on | B．had to put it aside | | C．just wanted to express it freely | D．lost it |
小题2:What was not the outcome of the students’ homework of writing whatever was in their mind?| A．Being popular. | B．Being profitable. | | C．Improving their English. | D．Winning prize. |
小题3:What is the reason for the students’ liking to write interesting stories?| A．It is creative and imaginative. | | B．It is profitable. | | C．Interesting stories are sure to be popular. | | D．Interesting stories can be well sold. |
小题4:What is the best title of this passage?| A．Creative homework leads to a popular book | | B．Writing interesting stories | | C．Students’ new book | | D．A popular book |
