  On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the Over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.
  At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? Had somebody got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry. Had anything been taken? She went from room to room, checking. Yes, some things were missing — her small radio, her spare watch, a camera. That was all, she thought; but she couldn’t be sure just yet. She was annoyed, of course, but rather glad that nothing had been thrown about.
  Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door — “a master key” perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through the garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.
  It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle(壶)of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire(金属丝)appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob(门把手) on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.
  That evening she reported the matter to the police. They were not too pleased, but they came and took away the wire and the skin. “It was only self-protection,” she told the officer. “An old woman must try to look after herself.” With the help of a doctor, the police found the man and recovered Mrs. Clarke’s things. She has become something of heroine at the Over 60s Club.
小题1: When did Mrs. Clarke go to the Over 60s Club?
___________________________________________________
小题2: Why did the smell of cigarette smoke surprise her?
___________________________________________________
小题3: On the third Thursday, did Mrs. Clarke go out at her usual time?
___________________________________________________
小题4: What was Mrs. Clarke doing when she was waiting for the thief?
___________________________________________________

小题2:Because she didn’t smoke herself; sb. must broke in when she was away.
小题3:Yes.
小题4:She was making tea and boiling a kettle of water.
小题5:She’s careful, brave and smart.

试题分析:文章讲述了Clarke,一位老人,经常在周四会去老人俱乐部,可有一次她回家时感觉自己家里有一股烟味,自己家了一些东西也被偷了,她很是意外。在第二个周四她没有出去可是什么事情都没有发生,而在第三个周四她假装出去,后又折回在等到贼的到来,最后Clarke女士用自己智慧战胜了小偷。
小题1:从第一自然段She always went there on Thursdays. 可知,她每周四会去那个老人俱乐部,故填On Thursdays.
小题2:从第二自然段中Clarke回到家时,感觉到不对劲,因为她闻到了一股烟味,可知,她之所以感到吃惊的原因是她自己并不抽烟,故填Because she didn’t smoke herself; sb. must broke in when she was away.
小题3:从第三自然段So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, 可知,她第三次是按平时一样出去了,故填Yes.
小题4:第四自然段第一句话Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. 可知,当她在等那个小偷的时候,她正在沏茶,故回答She was making tea and boiling a kettle of water.
小题5:从第三自然段及第四自然段可知,她第三次假装出去了,不久后又折回,在家里等那个小偷,她还勇敢地用开水泼那个小偷,可知她是细心、勇敢、聪明的。She’s careful, brave and smart.

Recently, the relationship between the two countries got worse because of the Diaoyu Islands.
The Japanese government signed a contract(合同) on Sep 11 with the Kurihara family. It was to pay the so-called “private(私人的) owner” 2.05 billion yen (166 million yuan) to “buy” part of China’s Diaoyu Islands.
Anti-Japan(反日) feeling grew strongly among Chinese people. Many people walked into the streets and shouted out “Diaoyu Islands are China’s.” Some have decided not to buy Japanese products any more. “I am boycotting(抵制) Japanese goods as a show of support. I’ll work hard to make the country much stronger,” Liu Xiushan, 33, a lawyer in Beijing said to China Daily.
However, some didn’t show their anger in the right way. They broke cars and stores of Japanese brands. Some used rude words. These actions are bad for our position and image. Some actions were against law.
Li Jingjun, a 17-year-old high school student in Guangzhou, was shocked by what he learned from TV and the Internet. He joined protects(抗议) in his city on September 15. But he acted differently. He called for rational (理智的) actions.
“We have every right to say the Diaoyu Islands belong to us, but we should watch our behaviour. Bad manners can harm our dignity(尊严) and sense of justice(正义感)” ,said Li Jingjun.

It’s a good idea for families to talk about what they can do to escape(逃脱)from a fire(火灾) . Do you know what to do if there is a fire in your flat? Here are some tips for you:
1. Shout out. Shout as loudly as you can, because people may be asleep.
2. Call 119. Never try to put out a fire yourself. Tell 119 where you are and what is on fire.
3. Keep down close to the floor. There is less smoke down there, so it’s easier to breathe (呼吸) and see where you are going.
4. Test the door. If the door is cool, open it carefully. If not, do not open it! Try to find a different way out.
5. Get out. Do not stop to pick up anything. A fire can become very big in a few seconds!
6. Don’t use the lift(电梯). Always use the stairs (楼梯) . The lift may go wrong. It isn’t safe and many keep you inside in a fire.
7. Don’t go back. Even if you leave your pet or favorite toy inside, do not go back for it. Animals have a very good sense of smell. They often get out of buildings before people.
  小题1:  to do in a fire
Shout 小题2: and then people can hear you.
It is dangerous to put out a fire 小题3: .
Keep down close to the floor because there is
  小题4:   smoke there.
If the door is    小题5:  , we should find another
way out
Do not stop to pick up  小题6: because a fire
can become very big soon.
A lift is not  小题7:   in a fire because it can’t
 小题8:  at that time.
 Animals can get out because they have a good sense of   小题9:  .
Remember:  It’s important for everyone to be   小题10:  with fire.
