阅读理解     The very wealthy English Baron Fitzgerald had only one child, a son, who understandably was the
apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to
fathering the kid. Unfortunately the son died in his late teens.
     Meanwhile, Fitzgerald"s wealth greatly increased. He spent a lot on art works of the masters. Later
Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his
wealth would be settled-to sell his entire collection at an auction(拍卖).
     Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers
gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid(出
价). Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald"s son by
an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.
     When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled(敲槌)the crowd to attention. First the
lawyer read from Fitzgerald"s will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.
     The poor-quality painting didn"t receive any bidders. . . except one-the old servant who had served
the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.
     As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped
the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet, and the lawyer
read from the will: "Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection. "Then the auction was
over. 1. The English Baron Fitzgerald was __________.A. a museum director
B. a master of art
C. an art collector
D. an art dealer 2. Why did the old servant bid for the painting of Fitzgerald"s son? A. He was devoted to the family.
B. He saw that no one bid for it.
C. He knew the content of the will.
D. He found it cheap for him to buy. 3. Fitzgerald"s will showed __________. A. his desire to fool the bidders
B. his invaluable love for his son
C. his sadness at the death of his son
D. his regret of having no children to take over his wealth

阅读理解     Have you ever heard your own voice? "Of course," you say.
     Has anyone else ever heard your voice? Again you say, "Of course."
     But that"s not quite true.  Nobody else has ever heard your voice-the way you hear it.  When you
talk,  you set up sound waves.  The air outside your head carries the sound waves to your outer ears.
  But,  of course,  the sound of your voice begins inside your head.  The bones of your head pick up
the sound waves,  too.  They carry the sound waves straight to your inner ears.  You get the sound
from the outside and the inside too.  Other people get just the sound waves from the outside.  That is
why they don"t hear your voice the way you do.  1.You ________ hear your voice the same way others hear it.  A. can"t

阅读理解。 Typhoons usually come to Taiwan in summer. They bring lots of rain. It gives us water to
use. But typhoons also bring us floods if it rains too much. After the floods, there may be
diseases such as dysentery or dengue fever. Typhoons also come with a lot of wind. The
wind damages houses, trees, crops and hurts people. So staying at home, preparing food
and water, and watching the news on TV are the safest things to do.
The confirmed death toll (伤亡人数) in Taiwan caused by Typhoon Morakot, which
first hit the island on August 6th, causing the worst floods since 1959, is bad enough. By the

But there had been fears that 500 people had been buried alive in Hsiao Lin, a village in the
wooded mountains of Taiwan"s south, and even more in remote neighboring villages. These

alive by a 25-helicopter search mission(任务). Survivors had not eaten for days and helicopters
dropped foods and drinks and began a slow evacuation(撤离), blocked by heavy rain. The
army says it does not know how many people may have died there. The government faced
criticism for not having arranged an evacuation as soon as it heard the typhoon was coming.
"We should brace ourselves(振作起来) against typhoons as if they are an invading enemy,"
said Chu Wen-sen, one of Taiwan"s leading water-management experts.1. Which of the following statements is true?______.A. Typhoons usually do nothing good to Taiwan.

feelings and also   18   things just like the way I did.

Do you want a bit of an adventure? Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motorhome (旅宿车) lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motorhome is a good choice. Nothing is better than a motorhome. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle(交通工具) and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motorhome this summer, then the best choice is to book it early, especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motorhome hire service is very seasonal and motorhome hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months. There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motorhomes spread all over the country. At present, the largest network for motorhome hire is provided by Motorholme which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612 8719 for detail of its motorhome hire information. Motorholme has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales. Most people wishing to hire a motorhome are families that are looking for an alternative (替代品) to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motorhome for their holidays.
