  All over the country banks were being  1 ,George thought. 2 this bank?Didn't robbers hear of its four-million-dollar  3 ?Were they afraid of Mr Ackerman,the old  4  guard,who hadn't  5  his gun in twenty-two years?

  Of course George had a(an) 6  for wanting the bank to be robbed.

   7 ,he couldn't simply take bills that were under his  8  all day long.So he had thought of another  9  to get them.his plan was  10  It went like this:

  If Bank Robber A holds up Bank Teller B…

  And if Bank Teller B gives Bank Robber A a certain sum of money…

  What is to prevent Bank Teller B from  11  all the money left and  12  that it was taken away by Bank Robber A?

  There was only one  13  .Where was Bank Robber A?

  One morning George entered the bank.“Good morning,Mr Burrows,”he said  14  The bank president said something in a  15  voice to George and went into his office.

  At two o'clock Bank Robber A walked in.George  16  he was a bank robber.For one thing,he stole in.For another thing,he wore a mask(面罩).

  “This is a holdup,'the man said  17  He took a gun from his pock-et.The  18  made a small sound.“You!”the bank robber said,“Lie down on the floor!” Mr Ackerman lay down.The robber stepped  19  to George's cage.

  “All right,”he said.“Hand it over.”

  “Yes,sir”George reached into his drawer and took all the bills from the top part close to six thousand dollars.He passed them through the window.The robber took them,put them into his pocket,and  20  to leave.

  Then,while everyone watched Bank Robber A,Bank Teller B calmly lifted off the top part of the drawer and go the bills from the bottom part into is pockets.

答案:C;A;B;D;A;B;D;A;C;D;C;C;B;A;B;D;B;C;D;A
解析:

  1.从全文看来,整篇围绕着抢银行而展开,repair“修理”,“破坏”,build

“建立”,均不合题意。

  2George作为 Central Bank的一个员工,所惊奇的是在全国银行都被抢劫时,为什么独独他所在的银行没有被抢。

  3capital“资本。资金”,与题意相符。A money“钱”,C note“纸币”,D bill“账单”。

  4.在银行,明显为 bank guard,与前文一直提到的 rob相照应。

  5Pull out“掏出,拔掉”。这家银行没被抢劫,难道是因为他们害怕这个二+年没有掏出枪的老保安?

  6reason“原因”;上文说George想让银行被抢,下文便介绍他这种想法出现的原因。chance“机会”;excuse“借口”;time“时间”。显然与整体文意不符。

  7after all“毕竟”;in all“总计”;above all“首先”。George想得到所有的钱,显然是不可能的,表示退一步来说的,只有选择D

  8under one's hands“在某人指示下,受某人支配、掌握”。

  9.靠正常工作工资难以满足George,所以他想到另一条获得大钱的方法。所以是another way

  10.从后面意思看,他的计划应该是simpleperfect“好,精巧”;complete“完全”;easy“容易的”。

  11keep sth.+done“使……处于某种情况下”。

  12insist“坚持,强调”;tell“告诉”;think“考虑,想”; imagine“想像”。

  13.“万事俱备,只欠东风。”George所考虑的步骤有一个仅有的“问题”,即是 Where was Bank Robber A

  14cheerfully“欢悦地,高兴地”,与George当时的心情相配,他考虑了整个计划,想着马上就能实现钱多的梦想,自然高兴异常。

  15in a low voice“以一个极低的声音”(表示小声说话)

  16.从后文看,那个人破门而入,并戴着面罩,他“知道”是个robber,是断定。trust“信任”;recognize“认出(以前熟悉)”;suppose“猜想,假设”。

  17roughly“粗鲁地,粗暴地”,正符合 robber的身份,而angrily“生气地”;firmly“坚定地”,“稳定地”;politely“礼貌地”,均不合语境。

  18.显然与robber相对,guard的作用突显出来。B manager“管理者”;D customer“顾客”,都不会成为robber的首选对象。

  19stop over to表示动作的趋向。

  20turn to“转身”。robber抢了钱,肯定是转身离开,扬长而去,decide to do“决定做”,不合题意。

阅读下面短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在机读卡上相应番号处将该项涂黑。

People who show confidence really seem to have it made. They seize more rewarding careers, keep good relationships, and just seem to do everything with more styles than the rest of us.

So what is the secret? There isn’t one. Self-confidence is a skill and habit that anyone can learn to develop. And although people who are raised in an encouraging environment with confident role models have a hard start in self-confidence development, we all can learn to become more confident at any age.

Try these simple tips for practicing and increasing your self-confidence levels:

Dare to fail. Anybody who’s out there bravely performing is going to fail repeatedly. If you are not failing, you are not trying. So don’t take failure too hard or too personally. Just learn to deal with it and use its lessons to keep improving.

When in doubt, pretend you know what you are doing. Because, if you are confident of your abilities, by the time you have done it, you will be experienced.

Dress for success. You don’t have to be beautiful to be confident. Make the most of your own unique physical characters and weaken your disadvantages.

Listen to yourself. You are the only person who knows what’s right for you. Don’t put others’ opinions above your own inner voice.

Build a confident vocabulary. Stop putting yourself down and give up continually blaming your tiny weaknesses. Learn to show up your strong points and the world will learn to see and celebrate them with you.

Pass on the praise. Praise others for their virtues and strengths. This practice will not decrease your confidence, but help increase it.

The passage is written mainly __________.

   A. to explain the definition of self-confidence

   B. to explain the secret of self-confidence

   C. to tell people how important self-confidence is

   D. to tell people how to build self-confidence

The underlined word “one” in the second paragraph refers to __________.

   A. the secret of self-confidence

   B. the skill of self-confidence

   C. the style of doing things

   D. a rewarding career

The main idea of the sixth paragraph is __________.

   A. to be confident means to have no disadvantages

   B. taking full advantage of your physical characters will help you be confident

   C. your unique characters will help you be confident and be successful

   D. to be confident means to be beautiful

All the following are tips to increase your self-confidence level EXCEPT_________.

   A. not to be afraid of failure

   B. dress yourself properly

   C. pretend to know everything

   D. make your advantages more obvious

__________ will weaken your self-confidence.

   A. Praising others for their strong points

   B. Always following others’ advice to do things

   C. Giving up blaming your weaknesses

   D. Believing in yourself
