阅读理解。      At first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English. Nadia would not
reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster
Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not
understand what people were saying.
     "Why did they do this?" Kate wondered aloud." I mean, you can"t learn if you can"t understand the
teacher."
     Nadia"s voice was a whisper. "I understand English. I will learn." Nadia"s English was perfect.
     Kate was perplexed. She couldn"t understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then she realized that
moring to a new country probably wasn"t the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and
unusual things to learn-all at the same time.
     "There"re a lot of new things to learn, huh?" said Kate.
     Nadia nodded rapidly. In a quiet voice she replied. "Many things people say, I do not understand. I
have been speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I do not know what some children are saying.
For example. yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was
carrying. Isn"t a port a place for ships? It made no sense to me."
     "Don"t worry." said Kate. "You"ll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black box was a
computer. A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer." Nadia and Kate
were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson. To Kate"s surprise. Nadia
put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard.
     Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her. Some of the questions were really difficult, and
no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When the teacher said that Nadia
answered everything correctly, the whole class clapped their hands.
     Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate. "Some things," she said in a normal voice,
"are the same all over the world." 1. At the beginning of Nadia"s first day at school, she was _____. A. disappointed
B. helpful
C. lively
D. shy 2. The underlined word "perplexed" probably means _____. A. puzzled
B. angry
C. shocked
D. serious 3. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. Nadia did not like Kate
B. Nadia had lived by the sea before
C. Nadia had never seen a computer before
D. Nadia spoke in a soft voice out of politeness4. Which of the following statements is true? A. Nadia was better at maths than other students.

完形填空。     Have you ever regretted doing something you shouldn"t have done or something you didn"t do which you
should have? At one time or another we probably all have. There"s no   1 in getting depressed about it
now-it"s no   2 crying over spilt (溢出的) milk. However, there may be some gain in thinking about exactly
what happened and why   3 we might be able to draw some conclusions for the future.
     One thing we all do now and again is to lose our   4 with a friend or close relative. The odd thing is that we
more often display great   5 towards someone we are fond of than towards   6 . The explanation may be that
we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, an opportunity to   7 a bit of steam in a safe environment,
while the consequences (结果) of   8 a stranger could be far more serious.
     Being honest is usually thought of as a virtue (美德) and undoubtedly this is the  9 . On the other hand, we
have all experienced occasions when we have spoken our minds to someone, telling them exactly what we feel,
and then have found ourselves filled with feelings of 10 . Perhaps we should have kept our mouths shut?

     Several factors make a good newspaper story. First-obviously-it must be new. But since TV can react
to events so quickly, this is often a problem for   1 . They usually respond to it in one of three ways.
     By providing   2 detail, comment or background information.
     By finding a new   3 on the day"s major stories.
      By printing completely different stories which TV doesn"t broadcast. What else? Well-it also has to be   4  .
People do not to read about ordianry, everyday life. Because of this, many stories    5 some kind of conflict or
danger. This is one reason why so much news seems to be   6 news." Plane lands safely-no-one hurt" doesn"t
sell newspapers."Plane   7 -200 feared dead!" does.
     Next, there"s human interest. People are interested in other-   8   -particularly in the rich, famous and
powerful. Stories about the private lives of pop singers, actors, models, politicians,   9   , all appear regularly in
certain newspapers.
     Finally, for many editors,  10 is an important factor, too. They prefer stories about people, places and events which their readers know. That"s why the stories in Tokyo"s newspapers are often very different from the stories printed in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires.

Passport Control If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring (转换) another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs (海关) immediately after leaving your plane. If you are not British or a citizen of the European Community, you must fill out a special form before your passport is examined. This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London. After landing, follow the ARRIVALS signs. Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach Passport Control. There is one channel for holders of European Community passports, and a second channel marked "Other Passports". Baggage Reclaim (行李领取) Area After passing through Passport Control, follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area. If you have luggage which was carried in the aircraft along with other cargo, it will be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area. Look for the sign with your flight number. If you have only hand luggage, go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to Customs. Customs All passengers must pass through Customs after Passport Control. There is a choice of two channels, Green and Red. If you have nothing to declare, go through the Green Channel. If you are not sure about your Duty Free allowances (免税额), or if you have something to declare, go through the Red Channel. Information about Duty Free allowances can be found on special notice-boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area.

For a writer, there is hardly any greater honor than winning the Nobel Prize for literature. And for a woman writer, claiming the prize is even harder, for only eight women once won it. Austria"s Elfriede Jelinek is the ninth and the first since 1996. The Stockholm-based Swedish Academy announced last Thursday that Jelinek won this year"s Nobel Prize in literature. She is recognized for her socially critical (批判的) novels and plays. Jelinek, 57, made her literary debut (初次露面) in 1967. She has written plays, novels and poetry. She is best known for her autobiographical 1983 novel"The Piano Teacher", made into a movie in 2001. The basic theme of her work is the inability of women to live as people beyond the roles and personalities traditionally expected of them. Her characters struggle to lead lives not normally acceptable in society. "The nature of Jelinek"s texts is often hard to define. They shift between prose (散文) and poetry and songs, they contain theatrical scenes and film script," said the academy. The Nobel Prize was founded by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. Nobel died in 1896 and left his fortune of about US $920 million to a fund to honor people who have helped other human beings. This year each prize is worth US $13 million.
