Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲狮) saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.
Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
“Tom,no!”shouted his father.
But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.
Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws(爪子) got into his left shoulder. Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled(吼叫) and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye. Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
“Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.
The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.
小题1:Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?
A.To get ready to fight.B.To frighten it away.
C.To protect the boy.D.To cool down.
小题2:What do we know about cougars?
A.They are afraid of noises.
B.They hesitate before they hit.
C.They are bigger than we think.
D.They like to attack running people.
小题3:How did Jeb try to hold the cougar’s attention?
A.By keeping shouting and hitting.
B.By making a wall out of his arms.
C.By throwing himself on the cougar.
D.By swinging his fists at the cougar’s eyes.
小题4:Which of the following happened first?
A.The cougar jumped from the rock.
B.Tom struggled free of his father.
C.Jeb asked Tom to get the knife.
D.Jeb held Tom across his body.

小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:A
小题4:D

小题1:这是一道推断题。根据第一段“Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands,making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated”Jeb 把衬衣用双手张开让美洲狮看自己很大,美洲狮就犹豫,不再攻击他了。所以把衬衣张开的目的是吓唬美洲狮。
小题2::这是一道推断题。根据第四段“But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar.”Tom撒腿就跑,这是对美洲狮做的最后一件事。这句话的隐含意是美洲狮一看到人逃跑就会攻击。
小题3:这是一道细节判断题。根据倒数第二段,“The boy ran to his father’s bag,while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting,to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom.”可知Jeb吸引美洲狮的方法是吼叫和攻击。
小题4:这是一道判断题。根据文中的描述,先发生的是Jeb让Tom和自己的身体交叉,然后Tom害怕了,挣开了他父亲跑了,美洲狮攻击Tom,Jeb就扑向美洲狮,在和美洲狮搏斗时,Jeb让Tom给他刀子。所以最先发生的是D项。

One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that ,”and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong ,and you were right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago .He told me he had been the manager of a cartons (纸箱).Then he talk of an incident and I began to remember the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at the time , and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was a big show of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of them to admire the show. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the pile of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the cartons back together, so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees checking some of the cartons to if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as if I was the person who was to blame .He scolded me loudly and wanted me to pay for those broken eggs. My face turned red and I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot the incident, but the manager did not.

Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.
Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction(反应).She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.”When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO(总裁) with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.
Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEOS to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.
Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like,“I could buy this place and fire you.”or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.”Those who say such things have shown more about their character(人品) than about their wealth and power.
The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.
“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.” 
小题1:What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress?
A.He was fired.
B.He was blamed.
C.The woman comforted him.
D.The woman left the restaurant at once.
小题2:Odland learned one of his life lessons from _______.
A.his experience as a waiterB.the advice given by the CEOs
C.an article in FortuneD.an interesting best-selling book
小题3:According to the text, most CEOs have the time opinion about _______.
A.Fortune 500 companiesB.the Management Rules
C.Swanson’s bookD.the Waiter Rule
小题4:From the text we can learn that _______.
A.one should be nicer to important people
B.CEOs often show their power before others

After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend’s Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary’s tone seems more rejecting than I’d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid—hours becomes minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days. Week ends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days.
For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit(提交) articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer-mediated. If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV.
But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I’ve merged(融合) with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node(波节) on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms(症状). We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It’s like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents’ worst nightmare.
What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has becomes avoidance(逃避), a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I’d never done previously. The voices of the programs relax me, but then I’m jarred by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. “Dateline”, “Frontline”, “Nightline”, CNN, New York 1, every possible angle of every story over and over, and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.
小题1: Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes _______.
A.unrealB.unbearable
C.misleadingD.not understandable
小题2: What does the last paragraph mean?
A.Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange.
B.She is so interested in TV programs that she often forgets her work.
C.She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather.
D.She turns on TV now and then in order to get some comfort from TV program.
小题3: What is the author’s attitude to the computer?
A.At first she likes it but later becomes tired of it.
B.She likes it because it is very convenient.
C.She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.
D.She dislikes it because it cuts off her relation with the outside world.
小题4:The underlined phrase “coming back out of cave” probably means _______.
A.going back to the dreaming world
B.coming back home from the outside world
C.bringing back direct human
D.getting away from living a strange life

November not only marks the publication of Toni Morrison’s eagerly anticipated(期待) eighth novel, Love, but it is also the tenth anniversary of her Nobel Prize for Literature. Morrison is the first black woman to receive a Nobel, and so honored before her in literature are only two black men:Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian playwright, poet and novelist, in 1986; and Derek Walcott, the Caribbean-born poet, in 1992. But Morrison is also the first and only American-born Nobel prizewinner for literature since 1962, the year novelist John Steinbeck received the award.
Like Song of Solomon, Love is a multigenerational story, revealing the personal and communal Legacy(遗产) of an outstanding black family. As Morrison scholars will tell you, Love is the third volume of a literary master’s trilogy(三部曲)investigating the many complexities of love. This trilogy began with Beloved(1988), which deals with a black mother’s love under slavery and in freedom. Jazzy(1993), the second volume, tells a story of romantic love in 1920s Harlem. This latest novel looks back from the 1970s to the 1940s and 50s.
The emotional center of Love is Bill Cosey, the former owner and host of the shabby Cosey’s Hotel and Resort in Silk, North Carolina, described in the novel as “the best and best-known vacation sport for colored folk on the East Coast.” We get to know Cosey through the memories of five women who survive and love him: his granddaughter, his widow, two former employees, and a homeless young girl.    
The latest novel, Love, had been described in the promotional material from her publisher as “Morrison’s most accessible work since Song of Solomon.” This comparison to her third novel, published in 1977, was an effective selling point.
小题1:What would be the best title for the text?
A.Toni Morrison’s latest novels
B.Toni Morrison and her trilogy
C.Toni Morrison and her novel Love
D.Toni Morrison, the Nobel prizewinner
小题2:What can we learn about John Steinbeck?
A.He was a black writer.
B.He was born in America.
C.He received the Nobel Prize after Morrison
D.He was the first American novelist to win a Nobel
小题3:The similarity between Love and Song of Solomon is that they both _____.
A.belong to the same trilogy together with Beloved
B.concern families of more than one generation
C.deal with life of blacks under slavery
D.investigate life in 1920s Harlem
小题4:The novel Love mainly describes ______.
A.the best-known vacation spot for blacks
B.the life of an outstanding black family under slavery
C.the miserable experience of the five women in Harlem
D.the memories of five women about Bill Cosey
