15．

When I lived in Spain（西班牙），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 a foreign visitor 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‘bed and breakfast'houses，"they said，"because we found that most families 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 the house where the sign outside said"VACANCIES"，which in English means there are free rooms．Then my friends went to the house where the sign said"NO VACANCIES"，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 the 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，the road ended in a large hole．
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"No，thank you．"

81．My Spanish friends wanted advice aboutB．
A．telling funny English stories
B．finding places to stay in England
C．learning English in a clever way
D．driving their car on English roads
82．I suggested my Spanish friends should stay at"bed and breakfast"houses becauseC．
A．it would be much cheaper than staying at hotels
B．it would be convenient for them to have breakfast
C．they would be able to practice their spoken English
D．they would have a good chance to know foreign visitors
83．My Spanish friends didn't go to the house where the sign outside said"VACANCIES"becauseD．
A．they thought the house wasn't beautiful enough
B．they thought the people in the house were strange
C．they thought there were no free rooms in the house
D．they thought"vacancies"was"vacaciones"in Spanish
84．Which of the following is NOT true？C
A．The sign"VACANCIES"outside a house in England means it has free rooms．
B．The sign"NO VACANCIES"outside a house in England means the house was full．
C．The road sign"DIVERSION"in England can guide you to a good place to have fun．
D．When we see the road sign"DIVERSION"in England，we should take a different road．
85．In France，if you say"Thank you"in French when someone offers you some more coffee，the person will thinkA．
A．you don't want any more coffee
B．you are very kind and polite
C．you would like another cup of coffee
D．you don't like the coffee pot．

分析文章大意：
我朋友住在西班牙，在去英国之前问我一些关于如何找到住宿地方的意见，我建议他们呆在"床和早餐"的房子里，因为这种住宿给了外国游客一个很好的机会和家人说英语．可事实上朋友却住在普通的旅馆，因为发生了一些事情．
在"床和早餐"的房子里，我的朋友们把"有空缺"理解成了"放假"，所以没有进去．
在巴黎，谢谢是不用了的意思．当时我在巴黎说了声谢谢想要在要一杯咖啡，结果他们就把咖啡收走了．

解答 81．B，推理判断题，文中提到"Before they left，they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation （住所）"我朋友住在西班牙，在去英国之前问我一些关于如何找到住宿地方的意见，由此可知选择B，在英国寻找住宿的地方．
82．C，推理判断题，文中提到"I suggested that they should stay at"bed and breakfast"houses，because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family"我建议他们呆在"床和早餐"的房子里，因为这种住宿给了外国游客一个很好的机会和家人说英语，由此判断选择C．
83．D，推理判断题，文中提到"they thought"VACANCIES"meant"holidays"，"我的朋友们把"有空缺"理解成了"放假"，所以没有进去，由此确定答案为D．
84．C，推理判断题，文中提到""VACANCIES"，which in English means there are free rooms．"VACANCIES在英语中译为有空出来的房间，反之NO VACANCIES就意味着没有空缺，AB正确；文中提到"In Spanish，the word"DIVERSION"means fun"在西班牙，DIVERSION译为乐趣，而在英国，意味着必须选择另外一条路，所以C错误，D正确；由此确定选择C．
85．A，推理判断题，文中提到"Later I found out that"Thank you"in French means"No，thank you．"在巴黎，谢谢是不用了的意思，所以选择A．

点评对于阅读表达题，一定要记得首先通读全文，了解文章大意，然后再根据文章关键词，关键句，掌握细节问题，并进行推理判断，再去回答具体的问题．

3．Dear Anne，
Thanks for your email．It's great to have a pen pal from another country．My name is Jeff，and my family has a farm in Australia．We grow wheat and crops on our farm．Let me tell you what happened here last week．
Until last week，our plants had been growing well because we've had a lot of rain．Then the locusts came．They flew towards our farm in a swarm（一大群），which contained millions of locusts and covered an area of several square kilometers．The locusts came from an area far away．They had flown through the night．
Early the next morning，I went outside with Dad．We looked at the swarm in the sky．I had never seen so many animals together at a time．Dad said there was nothing we could do for the crops．I wasn't afraid，because locusts don't hurt people．
The swarm landed in our fields，and the locusts ate most of our wheat．We lost a lot of our harvest．Then the locusts flew to other farms in our area and ate some of those crops，too．
I didn't go to school that day，because the swarm of locusts made it hard for drivers to see on the roads and the school bus didn't run．Instead，I helped Mum and Dad on the farm．
The locust plague（灾祸） is over now，and the locusts have all gone．Mum and Dad said we must get the damaged fields ready for the new plants．We are going to be very busy on the farm．Email me again soon．
Your new friend，
Jeff

5．Most of us say that God，or destiny or whatever superior force that may exist in this universe （宇宙）is what makes us our future and guides us throughout our existence．
I don't claim there isn't such a force that can guide us and take care of us，but the main element（要素） that helps us build up our future is our way of being．Our personality，our character，our way of perceiving（感知） reality and everything that surrounds us are what may bring us to the top，or opposite it，make us miserable．．
It's simply your own choice if you don't want to study，go to college or have a career．It really doesn't matter if your parents threaten you，punish you or scold（责骂） you all the time．If you stick to be yourself and you think you know it all，then these are useless．
You are the one who decides what job to have，in which city or country to live．It's your choice and your responsibility．The moment you get hurt or something goes wrong，you blame yourself，and you start everything from the very beginning．
You consider that you can't find your place in your own country，so you risk the comfortable but modest（谦虚的） life you have with your parents and you go abroad．Maybe there will be moments when you can't stand any more the loneliness，the strangers around you，or your job．But remember that nobody made you take that decision，so you have to take a deep breath，and then go on，as it's very difficult to find a guilty person when you know it well that you are the only one to be blamed．
If you fall in love with a man from the very first moment you set your eyes on him and you don't want to meet somebody else，to see how they are，it's your wish．If you get married and the marriage ends in a year's time，you can't blame the rest as they all have told you to be careful and never to take hasty （轻率的）decisions．
You play the Lottery each day and there are two choices：each you hit the jack pot and your life changes totally or you lose and you have to restart it from the very beginning．It's known that if you don't risk，you can't win．So the best solution is always to think over your decisions，and to see what they can represent in your future．Only afterwords is proper for you to make up your mind．
You are the only architect（建筑师） of your future．The best are only workers who help you create your own dream．

52．All the following build up our way of being EXCEPTB．
A．our character
B．our existence
C．our personality
D．our way of perceiving reality
53．The underlined word"miserable"in Paragraph 2can be replaced by"A"
A．unhappy
B．lonely
C．positive
D．careful
54．Which of the following is NOT right according to the writer's opinion？C
A．You meet difficulties when you go abroad，but you should take a deep breath and go on．
B．You must think it over before you make a decision for yourself．
C．You get hurt after you choose to live in another city，but you blame your parents．
D．You cannot make too fast decision before you marry a person．
55．What is the best title for the passage？D
A．Character Influences Life
B．A Good Beginning is Half Done
C．Stick to What is Right for Us
D．Every Man Is the Architect of His Future．
