His shop was in a village in one of the most beautiful parts of southern England . He worked in it for many years while his father was there. Then, when his father reached the age of 65, he stopped working in the shop. Joe was alone in it, so he had to work harder. Joe worked five and a half day a week. His shop shut at one o’clock on Thursday, and it was shut the whole of Sunday. Saturdays were the busiest days.Joe had a big refrigerator (冰箱)in his shop, but he tried not to buy too much meat at a time.One Thursday a woman came into the shop at five minutes to one. ―I’m sorry I’m very late,‖ she said, ―but some people have just telephoned to say that they are going to come to din ner tonight, and I need some more meat.‖Joe only had one piece of good meat in the shop. He had sold all the rest earlier in the day. He took the piece out and said to the woman. “This is ￡7.15.”“That piece is too small,‖ the woman answered. ―Haven’t you got anything bigger?‖Joe went into the room behind his shop, opened the refrigerator, put the piece of meat into it, took it out again and shut the door of the refrigerator with a lot of noise. Then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and s aid, ―This piece is bigger and more expensive.

If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends-let them find you by staying in one place.There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling (打口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.Keep up the shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gun shots (枪声). When someone gives a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house —cover up the holes with branches(树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little branch house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place.61.If you got lost in the forest,you should _______.A.stay where you are and give a signal three timesB.walk around the forest and shouted so that your friends might hear youC.try to find your friends as soon as possibleD.try to get out of the forest and shouted for help62.If you want to let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun you should ________.A.shout that you are lostB.keep up the shouting or whistlingC.shout at the top of your voiceD.shout or whistle once in a while63.When you hear _______ shouts or whistles or gun shots,you know that _______.A.two; people will soon come to help youB.three; some one is asking for helpC.three; people will soon come to help youD.two; someone is asking for help64.When you are lost in the forest, but you want to leave your place to get water, you should ________.A.just go to the riverB.find a bowl or a glass, and then goC.make a fire so that you might make yourself some hot teaD.leave marks (标志)as you go to the river so that you can find your way back65.This story mainly (主要地)tells you _______.A.that when someone gives a signal always three times, it is a call for helpB.What you should do if you get lost in the forestC.that when any signal given twice means an answer to a call for helpD.not to try to find your friends-(C)Fire can help people in many ways. But it can be very dangerous. Fire can heat water, warm houses, give light and cook. But fire can burn things, too. It can burn trees, houses, animals or people. Sometimes big fire can burn forests.Nobody knows for sure how peole began to use fire. But there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope (绳子) and brought fire down.Today people know how to make a fire with matches (火柴). Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put fires. Fires need oxygen (氧气). Without oxygen they will die. Cover a fire with water, sand or sometimes with your coat. This keeps the air away froma fire and kills it. Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.66.How did people begin to use fire? _________.A.Not everybody knows how people began to use fireB.Nobody knows how to make a fireC.It is an Australian who started a fireD.We are not sure how people began to use fire67.Children mustn’t play with matches because ________.A.matches burn paperB.it isn’t interestingC.they can be dangerousD.they can burn a house68.When you are going to put out a fire, you ______,A.must be carefulB.should keep air away from itC.must know it is dangerousD.should cover it with water69.We must be careful with fire, or it ________.A.wi ll dieB.will warm our housesC.might burn usD.won’t help us70.Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?A.Fire can help people in many ways.B.Fire can be both helpful and dangerousC.Fire can burn things and peopleD.We must be careful with matches(D)There are two types of people in the world.Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life，one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things，persons，events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things：the pleasant parts of conversation，the well prepared dishes，the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.Therefore，they are continually dissatisfied.By their remarks，they sour the pleasure of society，hurt many people，and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind was founded in nature，such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation.It grows into a habit，unknown to its possessors.The habit may be strong，but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them，and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination，it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others；nobody loves them，and no one treatsthem with more than the most common politeness and respect.This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments.If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune，nobody wishes them success.Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections，no one will defend or excuse them，and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings.These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing，without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.If they do not，it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them.Otherwise，it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient，especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.71．People who are unhappy________.A．always consider things differently from othersB．usually are affected by the results of certain things C．usually misunderstand what others think or sayD．always discover the unpleasant side of certain things72．The phrase ―sour the pleasure of society‖ most nearly means ―________‖．A．have a good taste with social lifeB．make others unhappyC．tend to scold others openlyD．enjoy the pleasure of life73．We can conclude from the passage that________.A．we should pity all such unhappy peopleB．such unhappy people are dangerous to social life C．people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD．unhappy people can not understand happy persons 74．If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit，the author suggests that people should ________.A．prevent any communication with themB．show no respect and politeness to them C．persuade them to recognize the bad effectsD．quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes 75．In this passage，the writer mainly________.A．describes two types of peopleB．laughs at the unhappy peopleC．suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habitsD．tells people how to be happy in life of unhappiness第Ⅱ卷（共35分）第一节任务型阅读(共10题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
