    One day an ordinary dog appeared in the ticket office at Campiglia, a busy railroad station on Italy's main line. A ticket agent named Elvio greeted the strange dog in a friendly way, so the dog decided to stay. From that day on, the dog became Elvio's shadow and was named Lampo.
    Lampo kept Elvio Company (陪伴) inside the ticket office. When the weather was warm, he would enjoy himself in the sun on the train platform. When it came time for Elvio to return home on the train at night, Lampo ran after the train for a long way and then sadly gave up and went back to the station.
    One night as Elvio was riding home on the train, he noticed that Lampo was lying at his feet. Afraid that the conductor would see the dog on the train and shout at him, Elvio pushed Lampo under a seat. Luckily, the conductor did not notice the dog. Lampo came home with Elvio and met his family. Then, after a short visit, Lampo boarded the last train and went back to the station. Lampo quickly learned all of the train schedules (时刻表). He would ride home from work with Elvio every night and then ride back to the station alone. Every morning, Lampo arrived at Elvio's house in time to walk his young daughter, Mivna, to school. The faithful dog would then take another train to travel again to accompany Mivna home from school at 11:30.
    Soon, Lampo began to take the train all over Italy. Lampo became famous among the men who worked on the railroad, as his journeys became more frequent, complicated and mysterious. No one could explain why he traveled or how he always found the right train back to Campiglia. People decided that Lampo was a unique dog.
    Some of the railroad officials were against Lampo's illegal travels. They were afraid he would bite a passenger or cause some other problems. Finally, the stationmaster threatened to call the dogcatcher if Elvio didn't get rid of the dog.
    Elvio decided to put Lampo on a train going as far away as possible. Months went by and Lampo did not come back. Mivna missed him very much and prayed for his return. Finally one day, a sad, very thin, tired Lampo returned to Elvio's office. Everyone, even the stationmaster, was sorry about what had happened. From then on, Lampo was allowed to ride the trains whenever he wanted. After seven years, Lampo grew old, and he began to need Elvio's help to board the train.
    One day Lampo was seen lying dead on the tracks. A year later, a life sized statue of Lampo was set up at Campiglia station.
    66. The first time Lampo took the train, Elvio was ______.
    A. delighted that he was lucky                                
    B. afraid the dog would bite someone
    C. afraid the conductor would see him and be angry
    D. excited that Lampo would soon meet his family
    67. Lampo's traveling all over Italy caused people to believe that _______.
    A. he could read the train schedules                           B. he was famous in the country
    C. Elvio secretly helped him                                  D. he was a very special dog
    68. The stationmaster threatened that if Elvio didn't get rid of the dog, _______.
    A. Elvio would be fired                                          B. Lampo would be put on the train tracks
    C. the stationmaster would send him away         D. a dogcatcher would be called
    69. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story?
    A. The dog was once sent away by Elvio.
    B. The dog finally won the stationmaster's heart.
    C. The dog was faithful to his master.
    D. The dog died when he was seven years old.
    70. The author suggests that a statue of Lampo was set up because _______.   
    A. the stationmaster felt sorry about what had happened
    B. he had been a friend to travelers
    C. it would bring good luck to the town
    D. Elvio offered money to set up the statue

    66---70   CDDDB  

    66.答案：C。
    解析：这是一道细节题。根据第三段的信息Afraid that the conductor would see the dog on the train and shout at him, Elvio pushed Lampo under a seat.可知，当Lampo第一次乘火车时，Elvio害怕列车员发现他的狗会生气。shout at sb.or sth.的意思是冲某人或某物大声喊叫。
    67.答案：D。
    解析：这是一道细节题。根据第四段的信息Lampo became famous among the men who worked on the railroad, as his journeys became more frequent, complicated and mysterious. No one could explain why he traveled or how he always found the right train back to Campiglia. People decided that Lampo was a unique dog.可知，Lampo 是一条很特别的狗。unique的意思是“独一无二的”。
    68.答案：D。
    解析：这是一道细节题。根据第五段中的最后一句话Finally, the stationmaster threatened to call the dogcatcher if Elvio didn't get rid of the dog.可知，最后，火车站站长恐吓说，如果Elvio不除掉狗，他会叫抓狗的人把狗抓走。
    69.答案：D。
    解析：这是一道判断题。通读整篇文章，只有选项D中所说内容没有在短文中提到。
    70.答案：B。
    解析：这是一道推理判断题。从全文及倒数第二段可知，Lampo最后成了人们的朋友，无论是车站员工还是过往的乘客。

    The incident took place on Sunday，the 25th of June. On that particular day，a south wind had been gusting(劲吹) on and off all morning. It was not strong enough to cause us any concern，so we carried on our daily work, not suspecting what was about to happen.
    The storm gave us very little warning. Black clouds loomed over the distant horizon(地平线) so suddenly that we were taken by surprise. Even then，we were not really worried，as the clouds seemed to be moving over our house and towards the distant mountains. Then，just as the clouds had moved inland，the wind suddenly swung around in a full circle and we were facing a major storm.
    Instantly，we were busily preparing for the worst. The whole family had experienced such a storm before and everyone remembered the damage it had caused to stock and crops. There was very little we could do about the crops. But we needed to protect the animals in case the river flooded again. My older brother called his sheep-dog and began driving our small flock of sheep to higher ground above the river. If the river flooded，they should be safe there.
    In the meantime，my father was mending a shed roof that had partly fallen down after many years of fine service. If the tin flew off，it could damage the house. My younger brother began hurriedly carrying firewood under the shelter. My job was to help Mum board up the windows. If the storm developed into a cyclone(旋风)，the boards would protect the glass.
    The storm raged for four hours，pouring more rain on us than we had seen in the last five years. As expected，the river broke its banks and came slowly up towards the house and the stock..
    Then，just as we were beginning to lose hope，the storm stopped as suddenly as it had begun. The animals were safe，and the roof was still nailed on. “All’s well that ends well ,”said my mother.
    56.When the black clouds appeared suddenly in the distance,           .
    A. the family were surprised    B. they were extremely worried
    C. they were preparing for the worst    D. they faced the storm bravely
    57.“There was very little we could do about the crops” indicates that           .
    A. little damage would be done to the crops          B. they had everything ready for the crops
    C. they felt unable to protect the crops                 D. the crops should be safe enough there
    58. The underlined word “ stock” in the third paragraph refers to          .
    A. money owned by the family                     B. goods for sale
    C. supplies for family use                            D. farm animals    .
    59.It can be inferred from what the mother said that          ·
    A. they had no damage at all                               B. everything went beyond their expectation
    C. everything was under control                   D. the family could have suffered a greater loss

    Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
    A．Goods for auction (拍卖) sales
    B．Definition of bidding
    C．Way to sell more goods by auction
    D．Auction sales in history
    　　E.　Brief introduction to auctions
    　　F.　Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
    61. ______
    Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.
    62. ______
    The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increasing”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
    63. ______
    Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.
    64. ______
    An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.
    65. ______
    The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.
