Everything seemed to be all right, yet he felt strange and somewhat uneasy. The wind had picked up, and angry, dark clouds 31 across the sky. He could smell the rain coming. And it did. 32 , the lightning flashed through the clouds, nearly 33 Raul. The thunder (雷声) was so loud that he buried his head in his hands and rubbed his eyes. Then he heard it — hoof beats (蹄声).

They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials (商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.”“Drink Good Wet Root Beer.”“Fill up with Pacific Gas. “Only when you have fallen asleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, can you get separated from the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”As for the ride itself, the beginning of it is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things are keeping changing out of the windows — various houses, crop fields, attractive bridges, … and sometimes even a small accident. Your bus driver may have a unique style of driving and it’s fun try ing experience it the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊心动魄的) as an adventurous story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know the riding will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement with that. The seat, of course, has become harder for the hours having passed. By now you may sit with your legs crossed, or with your hands in your lap, or with your hands on the arms, or even with your hands crossed behind your head. That is to say that the end comes just at no more ways to sit.46. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Buses on the road.B. Films on television.C. Advertisements on the billboards.D. Gas stations.47. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.B. To persuade you to take some long bus riding.C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.D. To describe the billboards along the road.48. The writer of this passage would probably prefer ______.A. those reckless bus driversB. driving with no one aroundC. a television set on the busD. no billboards along the road49. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because ______.A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB. they both have a beginning, a middle and an end, with commercials in betweenC. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on busesD. both traveling by bus itself and watching TV programs on bus are not exciting.50. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are .A. excitingB. comfortableC. tiringD. boringBWhen I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives foreign visitors a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn’t stay at ‘B&B’ (bed and breakfast) houses,” they said, “because we found that most fami lies were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANC I ES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO VACANCI ES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing t he road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, their car was soon stopped.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means“N o, thank you”.51. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.A. learning English in EnglandB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England to have fun52. I suggested that they stay at ‘B&B’ houses becaus e ______.A. it would be available for them to practise EnglishB. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotelsC. it would be convenient for them to have dinnerD. it would be easy to find accommodation there53. “NO VACANCIES” in English m eans ______.A. no free roomsB. with free roomsC. not away on holidayD. no holidays at all54. If you see a road sign that says “DIVERSION”, you will ______.A. get held by the traffic policemenB. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselfC. find the road is blocked by peopleD. have to take another different road55. When someone offered me more coffee and I said “Thank you” in French, I ______.A. didn’t really want any more coffeeB. wanted the coffee pot taken awayC. really wanted some more coffeeD. wanted to express my politenessCA child, who has once got interested in a tale, likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to “tell” a story than just “read” it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce his own as an improvement on the printed text, according to his child’s actual situation, so much the better.There is a charge made against some fairy tales, as they probably harm children by frightening them or leaving them sad feelings. To prove it, an experiment has been done to show that children who have heard terrible fairy stories often feel more uneasy than those who have not. As for fears, there are some cases where children get timid (胆怯的) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition may weaken the pain of fear.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that the stories are not objectively true, and that those giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets etc. do not really exist, so children should be taught to learn the reality by studying history, instead of being got fond of the strange side in fairy tales. Those, who prefer to create such stories, are so peculiar (奇怪的) that it is hard to argue with them. If their creative exaggeration (夸张) were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.Not once is a fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world, but not every child is clever enough to be aware of it. Parents should choose their children’s “bed-time”reading materials with much care. Only the fairy stories containing positive effect will make a clever and caring child with rich imagination.56. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ______.A. repeated without any changeB. treated as no more than a jokeC. made some changes by parentsD. set in the present situation57. According to the passage, when a child hears a terrible fairy story, ______..A. he will get more interestedB. great fear can take place in himC. he will like it to be repeatedD. an experiment is being done58. The word “sound” in Para.3 can be understood as ______.A. fashionableB. forgettableC. availableD. believable59. The author mentions “sticks” and “telephones” to prove that ______.A. fairy stories are all made upB. fairy tales lead to misunderstandingC. children are cheated by old storiesD. there is more concern for children60. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that ______.A. they are made up far from the truthB. they are so full of imaginationC. they are not interesting at allD. they make history difficult to teach61. It makes sense that parents choose fairy stories with ______ as “bed-time ” reading materials..A. formal printingsB. creative scenesC. positive effectD. terrible characters卷II五、句型变换：（共8小题，每题1分，满分8分） 62.
