E. It‘s just opposite the No. 5 Department Store.
F. I don‘t think it is necessary.
G. It‘s not very far.
DEBCF

对话大意:问路。
1. 选 D.这从此空上下两句的内容可以看出—即下句重复了上句的内容。注意:从含义上看似乎选 A 也行,但从交际的得体性来看,却不能选 A(为选它不礼貌)。
2. 选 E.对话中一方要想找 the nearest restaurant,另一方告诉他The nearest one is the City Restaurant. 接下来要说明的显然应是其具体位置,故选 E.
3. 选 B.上文对方已将 the nearest restaurant 的具体位置说得清清楚楚,而这位问路人还是吞吞吐吐地说 I‘m ——er—— I’m afraid I don‘t quite ……这说明他对此地很不熟悉,故选 B.
4. 选 C.这是在为别人指路时的常用语,其意有二:一是因为自己把对方要找的地方已介绍得一清二楚,估计对方不会找不到;二是结束自己的“引路”。
5. 选 F.问路人问 Can I take a bus?对方先是肯定地回答说:Of course you can. 但接着他又用 but 来转折,从逻辑上讲 but 后面的内容大概应该是“不乘车”之类的意思,再联系下文的 It‘s only a few minutes’ walk. 此空选 F 就很显然了。

Moreover, insofar as any interpretation of its author can be made from the five or six plays attributed to him, the Wake field Master is uniformly considered to be a man of sharp contemporary observation. He was, formally, perhaps clerically educated, as his Latin and music, his Biblical and patristic lore indicate. He is, still, celebrated mainly for his quick sympathy for the oppressed and forgotten man, his sharp eye for character, a ready ear for colloquial vernacular turns of speech and a humor alternately rude and boisterous, coarse and happy. Hence despite his conscious artistry as manifest in his feeling for intricate metrical and stanza forms, he is looked upon as a kind of medieval Steinbeck, indignantly angry at, uncompromisingly and even brutally realistic in presenting the plight of the agricultural poor.
Thus taking the play and the author together, it is mow fairly conventional to regard the former as a kind of ultimate point in the secularization of the medieval drama. Hence much emphasis on it as depicting realistically humble manners and pastoral life in the bleak hills of the West Riding of Yorkshire on a typically cold bight of December 24th. After what are often regarded as almost “documentaries” given in the three successive monologues of the three shepherds, critics go on to affirm that the realism is then intensified into a burlesque mock-treatment of the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-thought in deference to the Biblical origins of the materials, the play slides back into an atavistic mood of early innocent reverence. Actually, as we shall see, the final scene is not only the culminating scene but perhaps the raison d’etre of introductory “realism.”
There is much on the surface of the present play to support the conventional view of its mood of secular realism. All the same, the “realism” of the Wakefield Master is of a paradoxical turn. His wide knowledge of people, as well as books indicates no cloistered contemplative but one in close relation to his times. Still, that life was after all a predominantly religious one, a time which never neglected the belief that man was a rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption, So deeply (one can hardly say “naively” of so sophisticated a writer) and implicitly religious is the Master that he is less able (or less willing) to present actual history realistically than is the author of the Brome “Abraham and Isaac”. His historical sense is even less realistic than that of Chaucer who just a few years before had done for his own time costume romances, such as The Knight’s Tale, Troilus and Cressida, etc. Moreover Chaucer had the excuse of highly romantic materials for taking liberties with history.
小题1:Which of the following statements about the Wakefield Master is NOT True?
[A]. He was Chaucer’s contemporary.
[B]. He is remembered as the author of five or six realistic plays.
[C]. He write like John Steinbeck.
[D]. HE was an accomplished artist.
小题2: By “patristic”, the author means
[A]. realistic. [B]. patriotic
[C]. superstitious. [C]. pertaining to the Christian Fathers.
小题3: The statement about the “secularization of the medieval drama” refers to the
[A]. introduction of mundane matters in religious plays.
[B]. presentation of erudite material.
[C]. use of contemporary introduction of religious themes in the early days.
小题4: In subsequent paragraphs, we may expect the writer of this passage to
[A]. justify his comparison with Steinbeck.
[B]. present a point of view which attack the thought of the second paragraph.
[C]. point out the anachronisms in the play.
[D]. discuss the works of Chaucer.

Whoever has made a voyage up the Hudson River must remember the Catskill Mountains. They are a branch of the great Appalachian family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering over the surrounding country. When the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and print their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers around the top of the mountains which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light up like a crown of glory (华丽的皇冠).
At the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village.
In that village, and in one of the houses (which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly time-worn and weather-beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of Rip Van Winkle.
Rip's great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. It could not be from lack of diligence (勤劳), for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without saying a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. He would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields to shoot a few birds or squirrels. He would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. The women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. In a word, Rip was ready to attend to everybody's business but his own.
If left to himself, he would have whistled ( 吹口哨) life away in perfect satisfaction; but his wife was always mad at him for his idleness (懒散). Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house -- the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband.
小题1:Which of the following best describes the Catskill Mountains?
A.They are on the west of the Hudson River.
B.They are very high and beautiful in this area.
C.They can be seen from the Appalachian family.
D.They gather beautiful clouds in blue and purple.
小题2: The hero of the story is probably_____________.
A.hard-working and likes all kinds of work
B.idle and hates all kinds of jobs
C.simple, idle but very dutiful
D.gentle, helpful but a little idle
小题3:The underlined words "henpecked husband" in the last paragraph probably means a man who
A.likes huntingB.is afraid of hens
C.loves his wifeD.is afraid of his wife
小题4:What would be the best title for the text?
A.Catskill Mountains.B.A Mountain Village.
C.Rip Van Winkle.D.A Dutiful Husband.

A boy walked along Carver Street, singing a sad song. He walked with his head down. Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street, painted on the side of an old house. On the sign a big woman with yellow hair and a five-mile smile held out a big bottle. “Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola,” the sign said.
“Boy!” the silence was cut by a sudden cry. He turned around quickly to see who had called.
An old woman was standing at her door.
“You boy! Come here this minute!”
Slowly the boy ___1___ onto the cold flat stones leading to the old woman’s house. When he arrived at her house, she ___2___ out her hand and wrapped(缠住) her ___3___ old fingers around his arm.

An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him. You may say something like this, “I’m afraid it’ll have to be some place cheap, as I have very little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s.” This means that two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson’s”, or “I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. It’s great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.”
American customs about who pays for dates(约会) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in the business world will usually pay her own way during the day. If a man asks her to dinner or a dance outside the working hours, it means “come as my guest”. So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.
小题1:In the old days _______ often paid for all the meals.
A.womenB.men
C.university studentsD.businessmen
小题2: “To go Dutch” means to _______.
A.go to play outsideB.eat out
C.pay for oneselfD.go to a cheaper eating place
小题3: “McDonald’s” here means _______.
A.a tea houseB.a gate
C.an officeD.an eating place
小题4:If you feel friendly to the person, _______.
A.you should pay for himB.you needn’t pay for him
C.you can accept his invitationD.you can’t accept his invitation

American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19. 2003. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of London’s main tourist attractions.
Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames(泰晤士河)and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process (过程)doctors say could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.
Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.
In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.
“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don’t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”
But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.
小题1:It is _    __ for David Blaine to eat food after such a long starvation.
A.pleasantB.deliciousC.dangerousD.important
小题2:Having spent such a long time in the glass box, he suffered the following EXCEPT that _   ___.
A.he had become blindB.he had serious back pains

A.Blaine immediately went to hospital after he was taken out of his box.
B.Blaine was born and brought up in England.
C.In Blaine’s opinion, people can create a wonder.
D.Blaine didn’t have any food for 44 days.
