“It’s my own fault．” Carl Fenter pulled his jacket closer against the cold morning wind．“The rest of the family is home, where it’s warm．”
Just another one of his brilliant ideas—a big tamale （玉米粉蒸肉） feast after tonight’s Christmas Eve service at church—and look where it landed him: waiting in a line of 50 people．
As Carl knew, every tamale shop in the city had sold out their
tamales the day before Christmas, though he’d been driving all over El Paso that morning．Determined to bring home the tamales, Carl tried one last shop out in Canutillo．When he arrived, a fresh batch （一批） would be ready off the steamer in 45 minutes．Taking his place at the end of the snaking line, he watched t
he woman in front of him remove her jacket to cover her shaking youngster．It wasn’t long before she, too, trembled in the 
chilly wind．Without hesitation, Carl took off his own jacket and offered it to the grateful mother．They cheered when the line crept forward at last．Finally, Carl got inside the door and inched his way closer to the counter, the woman now first in line．“Sorry folks,” the clerk announced, “that’s the last of the tamales．” “No way!” Carl cried out．“But,” stressed the man, “we’ll have a final batch ready in, oh, about two hours．”
Defeated, Carl backed away, but the young mother grabbed his arm．“You’re leaving?” “I have to,” Carl glanced at his watch．“I promised to put up decorations at my church．” “I’ll get your order of tamales and bring them to your house．” Carl frowned．“I couldn’t ask you to do that．” “But it’s the least I can do．You lent me your coat．Just give me your address．” She and her little girl settled in for the long wait．
And at exactly noon on Christmas Eve, they
delivered four dozen fragrant tamales—along with Carl’s brown jacket—to his home．56．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．When Carl arrived at the shop, no fresh tamale was for sale．
B．Carl had to offer his jacket to the mother in front of him．
C．Carl was unable to buy tamale by himself finally．
D．Carl couldn’t wait because he had to go back to the church．
57．The mother offered to help Carl buy tamale mainly because ________．
A．she felt sorry for her buying the last tamale
B．she was very thankful to Carl for his kindness
C．Carl asked her to buy tamale for him
D．Carl promised his family to take tamale back home
58．Which is the correct order of the following events?
a．Carl went back to the church．
b．The mother delivered tamales to Carl’s home．
c．Carl waited in line for the tamales．
d．Carl offered his jacket to the mother．
e．The clerk told Carl there was no tamale left then．
A．c, d, e, a, b B．c, d, a, e, b C．a, d, e, c, b D．c, d, e, b, a
59．What is the best title for the passage?
A．No Pains, No Gains B．A Man of Good Will
C．Virtue Is Its Own Reward D．A Mother of Her Word

“Luckily, he was strapped (绑) into his pram at the time, which probably saved his life. I think the child is extremely lucky, ” Wright told the Herald Sun newspaper after the baby was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Fortunately the train was already slowing down to stop at the station so it stopped quickly when the driver put on the brakes as soon as he saw the pram fall in front of him. Rail firm Connex is to look into how the pram rolled off the platform. The accident came one day after Connex started a child safety awareness activity warning parents to keep babies strapped into their prams at all times while on platforms.
The accident happened at the same time as the “balloon boy ”story in the US, in which a six-year-old Colorado boy was reported to be trapped in a flyaway balloon. However, he was later found hiding in the family’s garage. Many people believe that it had all been a publicity stunt by the parents. No such doubts surround the baby on the train platform.

| A．almost fell onto the rails |
| B．needed to stay in hospital |
| C．was badly injured by the train |
| D．was pulled a long distance in the pram by the train |
| A．the mother strapped him into his pram |
| B．the platform is not very high |
| C．he was well fed and asleep |
| D．the mother rushed to save him |
| A．Because it had just begun to move. |
| B．Because it was moving slowly at that time. |
| C．Because the mother took measures quickly. |
| D．Because the driver saw the pram fall. |
| A．something silly | B．something funny |

第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41~55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
“Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one´s parents and starting one´s own life. The man´s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife´s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife´s parents nor the husband´s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austen´s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl´s parents, that is, it was the parents´ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents´ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.
41. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?
A.Different families have different ways of life.
B. Different definitions could be given to the word.
C. Different nations have different families.
D.Different times produce different families.
42. For an English family, the husband´s duty is ____.
A. supporting the family while the wife is financial
B. defending the family while the wife is running the home
C. financial while the wife is running the home
D. independent while the wife is dependent
43. Everything is decided in a family ____.
A.by the coupleB. with the help of their parents
C. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles
44. What is true concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?
A. It is the best book on marriage.
B. It is a handbook of marriage.
C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.
D. It provides a lot of information of formertime wealthy families.
45.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.
A. the right marry B. more parental support
C. choosing husbands D. social position
