通读短文,把握大意:一个寒冷的冬天的下午,罗伯特在过一座桥时,忽听一个小男孩在桥下呼救。罗伯特脱衣下水救小孩,但到最后却发现那是在拍电影,自己做了“好事”,不但没受到赞扬,反而受到责备。
1. B。选 D 显然不行,因为前面说罗伯特往桥下一“看”(looked down at the river below),其结果不应是“声音”(sounds);另外按照一般的常识:一个人在一个寒冷的冬天过桥时,他往桥下一看,他所注意的不会是河面上是否有“鱼(fish)”或者“波浪(waves)”,而应是“船(boats)”——河上无船,正说明天气“寒冷”。
2. C。此题选 B 显然不行,因为 towards 意为“朝…”,具有动态性,与语境不合;若选 beyond(在…之外或那边),与下文的 almost directly below 所表示的语境不合;若选 from 也不行,因为这其实是一个存在句的地点状语,表示位置。
3. A。从上下文看这应是一个存在句,故用there be 句型。
4. D。由于下文有罗伯特“打了个寒颤”这样的语境,所以可以推知这个小孩应该是“没(not)”穿很多衣服。
5. A。这是一个宾语从句前置的句子,正常语序应是:Robert noticed that he was not wearing many clothes. 此题若选 C, D 显然不合语境;若选 B 也不行,因为按照常识,一个桥上的人看一个桥下的人,这个人穿的衣服是多是少,他只能是“注意到(notice)”而不应是“看见(see)”。
6. B。从上文看,罗伯特打了个寒颤就准备继续往前走。然而“就在这时(just then)”,他听到了呼救声。
7. D。此题答案可从语境及语感很容易地推出(注意 come from 意为“来自”)。
8. C。此题 A(on), D(under) 显然不合语境;而 B 虽有些接近语境的要求,但within 表示的“不超过”、“不多于”、“在…里面”等,还是与语境不符合。
9. B。此题选 A、D 均不合语境,因为 his canoe 不可能 running, pulling;选项 C(flowing)意为“流,流动”,也不合语境。
10. A。下文要说罗伯特脱衣下水救人,这当然是说他是一个出色的 swimmer。
11. C。既然是脱衣救人,当然是要“潜入(dive into)”水中。
12. D。这是一个寒冷的冬天的下午,罗伯特现在潜入水中,当然是“寒冷的 (cold)”水使他浑身颤抖。
13. A。请注意语意的转折:虽然冷得发抖,“但(but)”还是没用几分钟就游到了小孩这儿来。
14. C。下水的目的是为了救小孩,当然是要到“小孩(boy)”这儿来。
15. B。水中救人本不是件容易的事,加上这又是一个寒冷的冬天,就更是难上加难,所以这里用 drag 表示“拖”(强调笨重)。
16. D。从语境可显然看出:这里的意思是“就在那时(at that moment)”。
17. C。选项 B(smiling)与下文的“生气(angry)”不符合;选项 D( shouting) 与下文的“默默地(silently)”不符合;选项 A(seeing) 表示的是结果不合语意。
18. A。此处填 C(agreed), D(promised)显然不行,因为上文并没有哪个人叫他往船这边游来,所以这里并不存在“同意(agreed)”或“答应(promised)”的问题。A、B 相比,显然A(decided)更符合语境,因为罗伯特发现桥下有汽艇,且汽艇上人都往他这边看,所以他“决定”(decided)往汽艇这边游来。
19. D。此题若选 B(till) 或C(for),显然不合语境;选 A(while)虽然与语境有些接近,但由于引导的从句通常要是一个持续性的谓语,而不能是终止性的谓语。
20. B。从语境来看,只有 B(looked) 讲得通,由于罗伯特是在水里,所以他看汽艇上的人,要“抬起头来(looked up)”。
21. D。从下文语境来看:汽艇上的人是在拍电影,现在他们整个下午的工作被罗伯特破坏,所以这些人看起来很“生气”(angry)。
22. A。一个寒冷的冬天的下午,一个落水小孩被救上汽艇,同学们可以很容易地想到:该用毯子把他怎么样呢? 当然是“包(wrapped)”起来。
23. C。小孩被救上汽艇,罗伯特还在水中,此时由于他并不存在生命危险,所以并不需要“救命(save)”,又因为连汽艇还没上来,不存在用毯子“包(wrap)”;至于“感谢(thank)”,从整个语境看那就更谈不上了。
24. B。pull out 在这里指从水里拉出来(即从水里拉到汽艇上来)。
25. C。由于下文说这些人是在拍电影,所以这时罗伯特注意到跟他说话的这个是站在一部大“摄影机(camera)”旁。

A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an  appointment(预约)into the outer  36  of Harvard’s president. But they were  37  by his secretary and kept waiting.

We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got pulled over. A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. Lecturing us, he said, "You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, "Oh, so you boys are in a band (乐队)?" We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don't you?" Tim said, "Yes." So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn't know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Next thing we knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he threw the car into reverse(倒车), stopping a few feet in back of our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn't know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market or something. All of a sudden, the policeman's voice came over his  loudspeaker. He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” Turns out, the policeman had told Tim that the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket.
56. The policeman stopped the boys to ______.
A. put them into prison                                    B. give them a ticket
C. enjoy their performance                       D. ask some band questions

Juanito Estrella has been a housekeeping manager on the US-based large passenger ship Carnival Spirit for 18 months and feels he has found the suitable position in his career(职业).He has always wanted to travel.“I guess I am a really restless spirit. I Iike traveling, so when the chance came,I jumped at it,”he says.
The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships(游船).At the time Estrella was the housekeeping manager at a Melbourne hotel.He applied and,after two interviews,a medical check and police clearance,the job was his.
Estrella is responsible(负责的)for the cleanliness of the ship,making sure that 160 crew work properly.“I enjoy it because there is no other work-you wake up each day in a different place and a different culture. It’s exciting when you go to the next country and you don’t understand the language,”he says.
Estrella likes being busy and getting to know people from all over the world. The 1,000 crew come from 94 countries,and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.
But there is a downside .“You cannot get really drunk...because you have safety responsibilities to yourself and others,”he says.“You don’t really think about home.You start to think about home only when you get closer to your vacation and wonder what you’ll be doing.”
Life on the ship is anything but cruising. Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day, seven days a week.He warns the job is not for everybody. “You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day—and to give up drinking too much alcohol.” In his spare time, if the ship sails into a port, Estrella explores it, otherwise he works out in the crew’s gym, goes on the internet or calls home.
63.What do we know about Estrella?
A.He is very fond of traveling.                         B.He doesn’t drink wine now.
C.He cannot speak a foreign language.               D.He used to be a housekeeping manager.

B.The work on the ship is not suitable for a married person.
C.Estrella can find no other job except the one on the ship.

For many of us, printed books are satisfying in ways beyond the words they contain. Billions of printed books have been published, read and saved in the 600 years since movable type was invented, so why mess with a good things?
Sony Electronics is doing just that, betting that readers will be won over by the convenience of readability of its new electronic book devices. Sony's reader, the PRS-505, can hold 160 books in its fixed memory, enough to line the shelves on a good-sized wall in the average American home. The $299 device is about the size of a paperback book, but a half-inch thick and weighs less than a pound.
The Sony book reader is revolutionary not only in its storage capacity. The font(字体) is highly readable and adjustable by size. Unlike laptop computers, you can put the Sony in your purse, read it in direct sunlight and even bookmark the pages. And you can connect it to your PC to download books.
Surprisingly, though the reader has liberated the book from paper, electronic books aren't always a bargain. For example, David Baldacci's "Stone Cold" download retails(零售) for $15.19 at the Sony site, while Amazon(卓越网) will deliver a hard copy to your mailbox for $16.19.
The Sony reader also lets you store and play or display music. So what's not to like about the Sony? Well, for many bibliophiles, a lot. Book lovers like to have, hold and keep their volumes, which don't need charging. You can write notes in the margins, and enjoy the ambience they provide on your book shelves.
The need for electronic reading devices is likely to grow as more people worried about the billions of tons of paper used for printed material. Many believe the time will come when devices like the Sony reader are as common as printed newspapers and magazines today.
1.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The age of the electronic book reader is coming
B. Printed books are out of date
C. The Sony reader meets many readers’ needs
D. The revolution in book readers
2.According to the passage, the Sony book reader _________.
A. is as light as a laptop computer               B. can hold more than 200 books
C. is convenient to carry around                  D. cannot be connected to a PC
3.What is the author’s point when he mentions “Stone Cold”?
A. Amazon’s printed books are very cheap
B. “Stone Cold” can be got from the Sony site and Amazon
C. The Sony book reader is not very cheap to use
D. The Sony book reader can benefit its buyers a lot
4.The underlined word “bibliophiles” in Paragraph 5 refers to “__________”.
A. music lovers                                            B. book lovers
C. electronic reading devices                      D. Sony readers
5.According to the author, what’s the future for the electronic reading devices?
A. They’ll replace printed newspapers and magazines
B. They’ll still be more expensive than printed newspapers
C. They’ll become a must in people’s daily life
D. They’ll become more popular as time goes on

He wishes the holiday season would end already. His back aches, his red suit feels like a spacesuit, his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours — and still the kids keep coming and coming, like ants at a picnic. As Christmas becomes more commercialized (商业化) across the U. S. and Canada, so must Santas. As the holiday begins earlier each year, so must its spokesmen .
The questions from children these days are harder than ever. Now, with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, the questions are as heart-breaking as they are unanswerable. For example, “Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning?”
Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (指控). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story: A Santa had a girl on his knee, and he commented, “You have nice eyes and nice hair.” The girl later said it was sexual harassment (骚扰). When a Santa feels anxious, he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do: The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended. Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and don’t see other children again.
56.In the first paragraph, “spokesmen” refers to       .
A.businessmen                   B.political leaders
C.organisers of the activities      D.Santa Clauses
57.The passage implies that the job of Santa Claus is       .
A.well-paid        B.very hard        C.worth doing    D.dangerous
58.According to the third paragraph, Santas may sometimes be blamed for       .
A.doing something against the law       B.hanging around the dinner table
C.being lazy and sleeping in bed for days        D.not playing their roles as expected
59.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Christmas: Not a Good Festival for Santas
B.Is Santa Claus Really Alive?
C.A Christmas Story
D.What Does Santa Claus Do for Children?
