AThree men were travelling across the desert when their car broke down. There was no traffic, so their only hope was to walk. Before they set off, they looked around in the car for useful things to take with them. One of the men took a bottle of whisky. Another took an umbrella. The third unscrewed a door from the car and carried that. After they had been walking for almost a day, they came across a camel caravan(骆驼营地) trave lling towards them. “Let’s try to join the caravan,” one of the men said. “It’s going the wrong way but we will be safer than if we keep on alone across the desert.” The others agreed, so they asked the leader of the caravan for permission to join it. “You can join the caravan only if you answer three questions,” he said. He pointed to the first man’s bottle. “What is that and why are you carrying it?” he asked him. “It’s a bottle of whisky. I decided to carry it with me so that if I feel miserable and want to give up, I can get drunk, cheer myself up and then keep on walking.”“Very sensible,” the leader of the caravan said. Then he pointed to the next man and his umbrella.“It hasn’t rained in the desert for many years,” he said. “Why are you carrying an umbrella?” “I don’t want to get heat exhaustion,” he replied. “The umbrella will give me shade from the sun.”“Very sensible,” the leader of the caravan said.

His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”The grandpa quickly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead.The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless?”“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different.

Her bus had inched along through the heavy traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “Smith Enterprise”, she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. Noone paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day’s work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.16. Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into because .A. she had been there only onceB. the office seemed differentC. Mr. Smith was not in the officeD. the employees laughed at her17. What does the underlined word “tapped” mean in Paragraph 2?A. 龙头B. 轻敲C.利用D. 打节拍18. The people in the office suddenly started working because .A. their morning break endedB. they saw a stranger in the officeC. the boss was about to arriveD. no one wanted to talk to Marie19. We can infer from the text that the employees of the company .A. lacked devotion to the companyB. were cold to newcomersC. were always punctual for workD. would start their work by listening to a joke20. The best title for this text would be .A. An Unpunctual ManagerB. A Cold WelcomeC. Better Late Than NeverD. Punctual Like A Clock第二部分英语知识运用（共两节；满分35分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
