A Frenchman went to a small Italian town and was staying with his wife at the best hotel there. One night, he went out for a walk alone. It was late and the small street was dark and quiet. Suddenly he felt someone behind him. He turned his head and saw an Italian young man who quickly walked past him. The man was nearly out of sight when the Frenchman suddenly found that his watch was gone. He thought that it must be the Italian who had taken his watch. He decided to follow him and get back the watch. Soon the Frenchman caught up with the Italian. Neither of them understood the other’s language. The Frenchman frightened the Italian with his fist（拳头） and pointed at the Italian’s watch. In the end the Italian gave up his watch to the Frenchman.

Treasure hunts（寻宝）have excited people''''s imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson''''s Treasure Island．Kit Williams，a modern writer，had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues（线索）found in a book when he wrote a children''''s story，Masquerade，in 1979．The book was about a hare，and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire．The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare，but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”，or false clues，to mislead them． Ken Roberts，the man who found the hare，had been looking for it for nearly two years．Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time，he found it by logic（逻辑），not by luck．His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start．He had realized that the words：“One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon，the first of Henry VIII''''s six wives．Even here，however，Williams had succeeded in misleading him．Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridge shire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there．He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him．He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill，in Bedfordshire，and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well，but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon，until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773． Even then his search had not come to an end．It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there．Williams encouraged him to continue，and on February 24th 1982，he found the treasure．It was worth ￡3000 in the beginning，but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable．What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Robertsfind the hare？ A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill． B. Stevenson''''s Treasure Island． C. Katherine of Aragon． D. Williams'''' hometown． 22. As a devoted wife and mother, she insists doing the homework all by herself and the （ ） tasks are never burden to her. A. house kept B. housekeeping C. home kept D. home keeping 23. The human body is composed of organs, each （ ）a definite jot to do. A. have B. has C. to have D. having 24.

Mom was always worried about my health, therefore （ ） departure, she prepared a lot of medicine for me. A. upon B. in C. when D. at 30. I came across an old country guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one'''' s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a superficial traveller in rural England might conclude that the village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction （收缩） of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable. Our local grocer''''s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing （排队） up at a supermarket. And the proprietor （店主） knows well that personal service has a substantial cash value. His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling on the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner （领养老金 ） who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them. The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce. Another aspect of personal service available in the village shop is that________ A. there is a very wide range of goods available B. rare goods are obtained whenever they are needed C. special attention is given to the needs of wealthier customers D. goods are always restocked before they run out 31. The （ ）_ of invitation vary in different parts of the United States. A. consume B. consult C. customs D. cultural 32. Where are you going to have the TV set （ ）? A. repair B. repairing C. repaired D. to repair 33. To show that he has （ ） the scandal, the senate is ready to coperate the FBI agents. A. nothing to do with B. anything to do with C. nothing to deal with D. anything to deal with 34. We apologize for any ( ) caused by the lack of housekeeping services. A. Inconvenience B. Convenience C. Inconvenient D. convenient 35. As they ( ) newspapers for a long time, they knew nothing about the world. A. hadn't read B. didn't read C. haven't read D. don't read 36. The number of the visitors, ( ) we had expected, was well over two hundred. A. that B. where C. who D. as 37. I expect all the letters （ ）promptly. A. being typed B. to be typed C. having been typed D. to have been typed 38. ___ you nominate will be elected. A. who B. whom C. whomever D. that''''s 39. —"Someone took my book." —"Well, I didn't and ( )." A. nor did Jack B. nor Jack did C. Jack did nor D. Jack nor did 40. The police officier is about to continue his talk when someone cut him ____. A. concise B. simple C. long D. short 41.

A. make commitment B. make compromise C. make contribution D. make combination 42. If I were you, I ( ) the job. A. Accept B. would have accepted C. would accept D. had accepted 43. Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people’s houses. Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?” “Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.” So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.” “How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.” Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.” “That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.” A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained（抱怨）.” Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go. When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him. “That was a surprise, wasn’t it? Who complained about the noise?” “I did,” Mr Harris answered in a tired voice.

During the 19th century, scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of a person were hurt, he would lose the power of doing certain things. And so people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modem research discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have found out the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists fell us that about 100,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We, may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is kept there in the storehouse (宝库) of the human brain. Earlier scientists thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain.(1). In the 19th century, scientist found that a person would lose the power to do certain things( ). A. when he got weaker in health B. if certain parts of his brain were hurt C. after he did a quite different job D. when he grew older (2). Scientists today are still unable to show exactly ( ). A. what each part of the brain is doing B. how many chemical changes take place in the brain each second C. whether each part of the brain does the same job D. which part of the brain is the most important (3). It has been found that one's brain usually works ( ) A. faster when he is old B. a little now and a little then C. in a very simple way D. without any rest all day long (4). Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? ( ) A. Scientists are working hard at the researches on the brain. B. As many as six million chemical changes take place in the brain every minute. C. A young man doing physical labor is sure to have a much slower mind. D. Even an old man may have a quick mind if his brain is given much exercise. (5). The more work we give to our brains( ). A. the less result we will gain B. the more work they are able to do C. the weaker their power will get D. the more tired they will feel 2. In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes(想当然地认为)it''s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise(产生) between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think if keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.(1). "The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m." Here "attached" means ( ) A. Taken B. Drawn C. Given D. shown (2). According to this passage, time plays an important role in ( ) A. everyday life B. school life C. communication D. private life (3). The best title for this passage is ( ) A. The Voice of Time B. The Importance of Time C. The Importance of an Announcement D. Time and Tide Wait for No Man 3. Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents. Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.(1). In January ( ) A. lots of people go shopping for discount B. people have a lot of money to spend after Christmas C. all the shops close for a two-week Christmas holiday D. people don’t have enough money to go looking for bargains (2).

As you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England. That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means. If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰). Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so? In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in These different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?(1). English was first spoken in ( ) A. Britain B. England C. Great Britain D. Ireland (2). Britain is divided into( ) A. England, Britain, and Wales B. England, Scotland, and Wales C. Wales, Scotland, and Great Britain D. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland (3). According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Wales is the richest of the three B. Scotland is the largest of the three C. Sometimes English is used instead of Britain D. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles (4). The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is ( ) A. part of Britain B. part of British Isles C. the official name of the whole country England D. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage (5). Which of the following is an independent country? A. Wales B. Scotland C. Northern Ireland D. The Republic of Ireland 5. They think they''re lucky that they''re living and it''s Christmas again. They can''t see that we live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren''t much good. Johnny and the children can''t see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how? The money that we''ve saved isn''t nearly enough. The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn''t eat any more, she shrew the rest down the sewer(阴沟). Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn''t rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. Everybody else here looks away because they''re ashamed(羞愧)of their lives. I''d like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grew up.(1).
