He had rented a cottage in the country although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked making the whole house damp. On our first evening we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales. He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above the one where my brother and I were going to sleep. “It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” exclaimed my uncle with a loud laugh. When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s sto ries otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured perhaps killed. That night we all slept on the floor to the sitting room downstairs not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!1.The uncle seldom spent much time in the country cottage because ______.the roof of the cottage was fallingthe cottage was in a bad conditionhe was used to living abroadthere was no furniture in it2.The word “crash” (Line 2 Paragraph 3) most probably refers to ______.a cry of terrora sudden ringa sound of storma sudden noise3.When they opened the bedroom door they could see nothing at first because ______.it was completely dark insidedust was blown into their eyessomething strange blinded themthere was too much dust in the air4.The narrator felt glad that he had stayed up late because ______.he did not miss the exciting storieshe spent more time with his unclehe had a lucky escapehe saw a strange sight5.Which of the following can best describe the narrator’s uncle?Adventurous and good at storytelling.Humorous and good at making jokes.Good-tempered and sensible.Hospitable and wealthy.您的答案:B D DC A本题得分：3•••参考答案：B|D|D|C|A•参考解析：暂无•53[阅读题3分] Aristotle the Greek philosopher summed up the four chief qualities of money 2000 years ago. It must be lasting and easy to recognize to divide and to carry about.When we think of money today we picture it either as round flat pieces of metal which wecall coins or as printed paper notes. But there are still parts of the world today where coinsand notes are of no use .A trave ler there might starve if he had none of the particular ‘ localmoney ’.Among isolated peoples who are not often reached by traders from outside commerceusually means barter which is a direct exchange of goods .Perhaps it is fish for vegetablesor meat for baskets .For this kind of simple trading money is not needed but there is oftensomething that everyone wants such as salt to flavor food shells for necklaces or iron andcopper to make into tools. These things — salt shells or metals — are still used as moneyin out-of-the-way parts of the world today.Salt may seem rather a strange material to use as money but in countries where the food ofthe people is mainly vegetables it is often an absolute necessity .Cakes of salt stamped toshowtheir value were used as money in Tibet until recent times and they can still buy goods inparts of Africa.Cowrie seashells have been used as money at some time or another over the greater part ofthe Old World. These were collected mainly from the beaches of the Maldive Islands in theIndianOcean and were traded to India and China. In Africa cowries were traded right across thecontinent from East to West .Four or five thousand went for one Maria Theresa dollar anAustralian silver coin which was once accepted as currency （货币） in many parts ofAfrica.Metal was used as money in many parts of the world .Iron in lumps bars or rings is stillused in many countries instead of money .It can either be exchanged for goods or madeinto tools or weapons. The early money of China apart from shells was of bronze often inflat round pieces with a hole in the middle called ‘ cash ’.The earliest of these are betweenthree thousand and four thousand years old — older than the earliest coins of the easternMediterranean.Nowadays coins and notes have supplanted nearly all the more picturesque forms ofmoney and although in one or two of the more remote countries people still store it forfuture use primitive money will soon be found only in museums.1． Nowadays we think of money as() .A．pieces of metal or metallic paperB．made of either metal or paperC．some printed notes and papersD．round and flat sheets of paper2． In some parts of the world a traveler might go hungry() .A． even if his money was of the local kindB．even if he had no coins or notesC．if he did not know the local rate of exchangeD． even if he had plenty of ready money3． What can we infer from the passage?A． Isolated peoples exchange goods by means of barter.B．Salt cakes are taking the place of picturesque forms.C．Seashells could be traded with Maria Theresa dollars.D．The Chinese were among the earliest users of metal ‘ cash ’.4． Primitive types of money will be used ().A． to replace more picturesque formsB．as exhibits to be shown in publicC．at local country markets and shopsD．as entrance tickets in museums您的答案:B D D B本题得分：3•••参考答案：B|D|D|B•参考解析：暂无•54[阅读题3分]The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless but only a few lost their lives. The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King’s baker(面包师) in Pudding Lane. The baker with his wife and family was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery (面包房) into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the eginning. By eight o’clock three hun dred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings old St Paul’s and the Guildhall were among them. Samuel Pepys the famous writer wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poorpeople stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat. The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the paths of the fire. With nothing left to burn the fire became weak and finally died out. After the fire Christopher Wren the architect wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact the streets are still narrow but h e did build more than fifty churches and the new St Paul’s is among them. The fire caused great pain and loss but after it London was a better place : a city for the future and not just of the past.1.The fire began in ____.a hotelthe palacePudding LaneThames Street2.The underlined word “family” in the second paragraph means _____.homechildrenwife and husbandwife and children3.It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that______.some people lost their livesthe birds in the sky were killed by the firemany famous buildings were destroyedthe King’s bakery was burned down4.Why did the writer cite (引用)Samuel Pepys ?Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.To show that poor people suffered most.To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.5.How was the fire put out according to the text?The King and his soldiers came to help.All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.People managed to get enough water from the river.Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.您的答案:C B CD D本题得分：3•参考答案：C|B|C|D|D•55[阅读题3分]Dad said it would be an unusual presentand he was quite right.He said“Go to the telephone and call a ten-figure numberit must begin with 010.Got that—010?You can please yourself about the other seven figures.”I called the number 010 *******.A few moments later I heard a man's clear voice at the other end.The voice said“Kikri 2597.Don Flower speaking.”I said“Hell oMr.Flower.I'm Robert Westand this call to you is one of my birthday presents.I'm thirteen today——”“Ohthat's great.Many happy returns of the day!Where are you calling fromRobert?You sound very clear.”“I'm at home inLondon.Where are you?”“You're in London!Wellwell——I've never had a call from London before.I live in Kikriin Australia.About a hundred miles from Kikriactuallybut it's the nearest place.I've got a small farm herewith about ninety thousand sheep on it.You ought to come and visit me one day.”“I'd like tovery much.Your farm must be very bigMr.Flowerif you've got ninety thousand sheep on it.”“Wellthere may be only eighty thousand by now.I'm not too sure.There's not a lot of feed for themyou knowand two of my wells have gone dry this month.So we've been driving the sheep around a bit.If you go straight across the middle of my farmit's a hundred and ten miles.That isn't a great size for a farm in Australiabut it's big enough for me!”We talked for three minutesand it was very interesting.I gave Mr.Flower my telephone number.He promised to ring me on my birthday next year.1.“You can please yourself about the other seven figures”means _______.say “please” when you call the numberfeel pleased to make the call yourselfchoose the other seven figures yourselfbe pleasant when you dial the other seven figures2.When Mr.Flower said “You're in London!Wellwell—”he was _______.very surprisedvery wellvery sorryout of breath3.Mr.Flower has been driving his sheep around a bit because _______.his farm was too small for ninety thousand sheephis farm was only 110 miles straight across the middlehe was afraid someone would steal more of his sheepthere wasn't enough feed or water on his farm for the sheep4.Which detail from the passage shows that Australia is a big country?One must dial a 10-figure to reach Australia.Mr.Flower lived one hundred miles from Kikri.Mr.Flower now had only eighty thousand sheep on the farm.Mr.Flower's farm isn't considered a big one in Australia.5.The best title for this passage is perhaps _______.London-KikriA Birthday PresentRobert West and Don FlowerA Phone Call您的答案:C AD D B本题得分：3•参考答案：C|A|D|D|B•56[阅读题3分] What Is a Boy?Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find adelightful creature called a“ boy ” . Boys come in different sizes weights and colors but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of everyday and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night. Boy are found everywhere – on top of under inside of climbing on swinging from running around or jumping to. Mothers spoil them little girls hate them older sisters and brothers love them and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face. BEAUTY with a cut on its finger WISDOM with chocalate in its hair and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.When you are busy a boy is a trouble – maker and a noise.

It depends on whom you ask. Chinese parents raising their children in English-speaking countries will probably answer: Chinglish is a useful mix of standard Chinese or Cantonese terms with day-to-day English. It is indeed convenient to shorten a sentence such as “I don’t want to go now because it is too hot and it will be hard to find a parking lot anyway” into “Don’t go la hot la tai mafan la.” For the Chinese high-school teacher Chinglish is the students’ unsuccessful attempts to understand English in a Chinese way resulting in sentences such as “Please hurry to walk or we’ll be late” or “She is very miserable and her heart broke.” However the English-speaking traveler more frequently comes across Chinglish in the form of public signs. No matter how one looks at the phenomenon one thing is clear: Chinglish is not a language. Chinglish might be found according to some scholars in Chinese Pidgin (混杂语) English which came to life in the eighteenth century when the British set up their first trading posts in Guangzhou. The term came from the word “business” and served according to the great Yale China scholar Jonathan Spencer “to keep the differing communities in touch by mixing words from Portuguese Indian Engli sh and various Chinese dialects and spelling them according to Chinese grammar.” Some believe that exxxxxpressions like “Long time no see” or “No can do” appeared during that time. Others refer to the late Qing-Dynasty Empress Dowager Cixi who forced Chinese villagers to live and work in the West in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Another possibility is the so-called Yangjingbang a mix of English and Chinese in the time of Lu Xun China’s greatest twentieth-century writer. Very influential too are the large numbers of people from China to the United States who came from the Gold Rush time to the last twenty-five years since the beginning of China’s policy of Reform and Opening. No matter which theory one prefers two things are certain: first Chinglish exists because people move and second as a language phenomenon (现象) it is almost new. Although most Chinglish exxxxxpressions are widely regarded as mistakes occasionally some are found enjoyable. Such errors will not die as they keep coming all the more in our time largely thanks to the Internet.1.According to the passage Chinglish is regarded as useful by ______.some western scholarsEnglish-speaking travelersChinese high-school teachersChinese parents in English-speaking countries2. The second paragraph mainly discusses ______.why Chinglish became popularhow Chinglish came into beingwho invented the term “Chinglish”where Chinglish was most popular3.According to Jonathan Spencer Pidgin English serves to ______.force Chinese villagers to learn Englishovercome language difficulties in businesshelp peoples communicate with each otherenlarge the vocabulary of the Chinese language4. According to the passage Yangjingbang (Line 11 Paragraph 2) is ______.a kind of Chinglishan influential languagea mix of any two languagesa language in Lu Xun’s time5.The author’s attitude towards Chinglish can be described as ______.criticalobxxxxjectiveemotionalsupportive您的答案:D B C A B本题得分：3•参考答案：D|B|C|A|B•58[阅读题3分]The orderly came back in a few minutes with a rifle （步枪） and some Burmans（缅甸人） .He told us that the elephant was in the rice fields below only a few hundred yards away. As I started forward practically the whole population of the quarter flocked out of the houses and followedme .They had seen the rifle and were all shouting that I was going to shoot the elephant.It was fun to them as it would be to an English crowd ;besides they wanted the meat .It made me a little uneasy .I had no intention of shooting the elephant —had I merely sent for the rifle todefend myself — and it is always uneasy to have a crowd following you. I marched down the hill looking and feeling a fool with the rifle over my shoulder and an ever-growing army of people knocking and pushing at my heels .Beyond the huts there was a rice field a thousand yards across muddy from the first rains. The elephant was standing eight yards from the road .He took not the slightest notice of the crowd .He was tearing up bunches of grass beating them against his kneesto clean them and feeding them into his mouth.As soon as I saw the elephant I knew with perfect certainty that I ought not to shoot him. Itis a serious matter to shoot a working elephant —it is comparable to destroying a huge and costly piece of machinery. There peacefully eating the elephant looked no more dangerous than a cow. I thought then and I think now that his attack of “ must ”was already passing off; in which case he would merely wander harmlessly about. Moreover I did not in the least want to shoot him.But at that moment I glanced round at the crowd that had followed me. It was an immense crowd two thousand at the least and growing every minute. I looked at the sea of the faces above the colorful clothes —faces all happy and excited over this bit of fun all certain that the elephant was going to be shot. They were watching me as they would watch a magician about to perform a trick.。
