cap and walked out, deciding that he would

the five dollars secretly.
Hearing the sound of hammering, Reuben had an idea. People built their homes in Bay Roberts, using nails
43
in Hessian (粗麻布 sacks from a local factory. Sometimes the sacks were

阅读理解（共小题；每小题2分，满分0分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas; and as the newest doctor in our office, I had to work. The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating--- a dozen long-stemmed red roses.
As I was cleaning my office, our receptionist came and said there was a lady in the front office that urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. Nervously, she explained that her husband---a prisoner in a nearby prison---was my next patient. The guards were scheduled to bring him to the office that afternoon. She told me she wasn’t allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. Her request was for me to let the boy’s father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment. Since my schedule wasn’t full, I agreed. After all, it was Christmas Eve.
A short time later, her husband arrived with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards. The woman’s tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to my office. While I worked, the guards stood just outside my door. The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.
At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas---a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn’t been able to get his wife anything for Christmas. On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea.
I’ll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses. I’m not sure who experienced the most joy---the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.
56．What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A．The writer was a newcomer to her office.
B．She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas.
C．A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present.
D．She was at work with a light heart.
57．The young woman came to the writer’s office for the purpose of ______.
A．having her baby examined
B．giving her husband a chance to make his escape
C．getting a chance for her family to get together
D．having her husband examined
58．The underlined part in paragraph 3 most probably means “_______”.
A．to be sent to hospital
B．to become a prisoner
C．to be comfortable
D．to be separated from his family
59．What does the writer learn from the story?
A．The wife experienced the most joy in receiving.
B．Whoever breaks the law should be punished.
C．The prisoner was treated with mercy.
D．An act of kindness can mean a lot.

Today we'll talk about reading．When we read a text，our eyes move across a page in short，quick movements．We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate(停留，凝视)．Each time they fixate，we see a group of words．This is known as the recognition span or the visual span．The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person．It also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text．In addition，it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tirednessUnfortunately，in the past，many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page．As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading，many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation．For example，in some exercises，words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second．One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point，taking in the words on either side．Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids，so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive（连续的）fixation．All these exercises are very clever，but it's one thing to improve a persons ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words．Consequently，for these reasons，many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training，especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated(孤立的)words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text．
The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following factors except _______.
A. the length of a group of words
B.1ighting and tiredness
C. one's purpose in reading
D. one's familiarity with the text
61.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
A. The ability to see words is not needed for an efficient reading．
The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job so far.
C. The reading exercises mentioned are of little help to an efficient reading.
D. The reading exercises mentioned can help improve reading.
62.The author may believe that reading ______________.
A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation
B. demands a deeply-participating mind
C. requires a reader to see words more quickly
D. demands more eyes than mind
63.The tune of the author in writing this text is _________________．
Asupportive
B. critical
C. neutral
D. optimistic

The English are not often thought of as passionate people. It’s often said that they are unemotional, or keep their emotions hidden. Emily Bronte’s characters in Wuthering Heights (《呼啸山庄》) seem very un-English then, since they are some of the most passionate in literary history.
This story is set in the north of England where Bronte grew up with her two famous sisters, the well-known Charlotte and the lesser-known Anne.
Bronte presents this part of the world as a wild place, with few of the graces of civilization. Indeed, one of the novel’s points is that nature can be as strong a force as civilization.
Wuthering Heights begins with a tale from the past.
We hear how Mr. Earnshaw, father to Catherine and Hindley, comes home one day from his travels with a child named Heathcliff. Heathcliff is loved by Earnshaw and liked by Catherine, but hated by Hindley, who is pushed aside by this “intruder (闯入者)”.
Catherine and Heathcliff form a passionate attachment (依恋). They are both wild and natural, much like the moor (荒野) they love to wander in. They are so close that Catherine declares herself to be Heathcliff’s. If something comes to separate them, there will certainly be consequences.
What separates the two is Catherine’s marriage to the very civilized and tame Edgar Linton from Thrushcross Grange. Catherine has fooled herself into thinking that she and Edgar are similar, and so she believes that he is better than Heathcliff. This belief, and Heathcliff’s reaction to it, will cost Catherine her life.
The tormented (万分痛苦的) story of Heathcliff and Catherine then repeats itself in the next generation.
Wuthering Heights is a piece of romantic literature. The word “romantic” doesn’t just mean that it is about love, but it is about love in the most wild and dangerous sense. This is love that threatens what is apparently civilized.
This is story about nature and culture, about how the world tries to civilize nature, but how nature always bites back. This, for sure, is why readers today still relate to the novel, just as they still relate to tales like Romeo and Juliet. Love can be a dangerous thing.
68. Wuthering Heights shows _____.
A. a part of very peaceful places
B. a part of graceful love
C. a part of graces of civilization
D. a romantic novel about wild and dangerous love
69. The characters in Wuthering Heights seem un-English because _____.
A. they show few emotions
B. they show strong emotions
C. they all like life
D. they all like the wild world
70. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Catherine is married to Edgar Linton.
B. Among the three sisters of Bronte, Emily is the least famous.
C. When Heathcliff comes to Mr. Earnshaw’s house, he is welcomed by everyone.
D. Fortunately, the generation following Heathcliff and Catherine enjoys a love story with a happy ending.
71. What can we learn from the text?
A. Edgar Linton was an orphan.
B. Hindley liked Heathcliff.
C. Charlotte liked Heathcliff.
D . Earnshaw燼nd燙atherine爁elt爍uite燼n燼ffection爁or燞eathcliff

s a loveMany critics worry about violence on television, most out of fear that it stimulates(刺激) viewers to violent or aggressive acts. Our research, however, indicates that the consequences of experiencing TV’s symbolic world of violence may be much more far-reaching.
We have found that people who watch a lot of TV see the real world as more dangerous and frightening than those who watch very little. Heavy viewers are less trustful of their fellow citizens, and more fearful of the real world. Since most TV “action-adventure” dramas occur in urban settings, the fear they inspire may contribute to the current flee of the middle class from our cities. The fear may also bring increasing demands for police protection, and election of law-and-order politicians.
While none of us is completely dependent upon television for our view of the world, neither have many of us had the opportunity to observe the reality of police stations, courtrooms, corporate board rooms, or hospital operating rooms. Although critics complain about the fixed characters and plots of TV dramas, many viewers look on them as representative of the real world. Anyone who questions that statement should read the 250,000 letters, most containing requests for medical advice, sent by viewers to “Marcus Welby, M.D.” —a popular TV drama series about a doctor— during the first five years of his practice on TV.
Violence on television leads viewers to regard the real world as more dangerous than it really is, which must also influence the way people behave. When asked, “Can most people be trusted?” the heavy viewers were 35 percent more likely to choose “Can’t be too careful.”
Victims, like criminals, must learn their proper roles, and televised violence may perform the teaching function all too well. Instead of worrying only about whether television violence causes individual displays of aggression(攻击) in the real world, we should also be concerned about social reality. Passive acceptance of violence may result from far greater social concern than occasional displays of individual aggression.
We have found that violence on prime-time（黄金时段）network TV cultivates overstated threat of danger in the real world. The overstated sense of risk and insecurity may lead to increasing demands for protection, and to increasing pressure for the use of force by established authority. Instead of threatening the social order, television may have become our chief instrument of social control.
72.Which of the following is NOT among the consequences of watching TV too much?
A. supporting more politicians.
B. Distrusting people around.
C. Moving into rural areas.
D. Asking the police for protection.
73.According to the passage, why did “Marcus Welby, M.D.” receive so many letters?
A. Because certain TV programmes recommended him to viewers.
B. Because he was an experienced doctor and saved many lives.
C. Because viewers believed the doctor did exist in the real life.
D. Because the TV appealed to people to pay attention to health.
74. According to the author, ______ is mainly to blame for people’s fear of the realworld.
A. network TV
B. televised violence
C. individual display of violence
D. social reality
75. We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. people learn to protect themselves from dangers after watching TV violence.
B. people tend to be aggressive or violent after watching TV too much
C. the occasional displays of individual aggression may threaten the social order
D. watching TV may cause the misuse of authority and disturb the social order

Some students believe that campus cultural festival can offer a wonderful stage for students to show their talents. Apart from helping students promote their interest in study, a serious of activities also enrich the campus culture and make campus atmosphere more active. However, some students hold different views. They emphasize that they have been kept busy with their study and have no time to spare for the activities of the campus cultural festival. They also state that they cannot benefit much from some activities, which, in their opinion, have little to do with their study.
From my opinion of view, holding the campus cultural festival is a must. On the one hand, more students will be motivated to develop their potential abilities which will make them qualified for their future positions. On the other hand, students will find it a good chance to relax themselves as well as gain much knowledge that can’t be found in the book.

You mean the one that struck the southeast of England?
W:
Yes. It had been raining for two days and the ground was very wet. The trees still had leaves on. So the strong wind pushed over the tree easily.
M:
Was there anyone killed in the hurricane?
W:
Yes, 19 people lost their lives.
M:
What did you do that evening?
W:
I was woken up by the strong wind. A tree fell onto my cottage and onto the other half of my bed when I was hearing the rushing winds.
M:
You were lucky.
W:
How I wish all the people had been lucky!

W:
Hi! Erny, long time no see. How was your life in England?
M:
It's you, Tina! It's nice to see you. I was back to China a few days ago. I had a great time in my study in England. It is a beautiful country and the people there are very kind, although sometimes I got myself embarrassed because of different cultures.
W:
Really？What's the exact difference between the west culture and the east culture? Could you give me some examples?
M:
My pleasure! You never know how polite British people are in public places. Whenever they go to buy tickets or food, they all like to wait in line! They are always following the public order.
W:
And all people in England think that honesty is an important factor to judge whether a person has good character or not. They hate the persons telling lies! So, I guess you have already got used to the life of England, right?
M:
Almost, hehe! Next time I will show you the pictures I took in England.
W:
Great, I will look forward to that.

M:
May I help you?
W:
Yes, I would like to return these trousers.
M:
Alright. Do you have your receipt?
W:
Yes. Here it is. I bought them last week.
M:
And why are you returning them?
W:
I bought them to go with a blouse of mine. But they don't really match.
M:
I see. Oh, wait. Ma'am, I'm sorry. These trousers were on sale.
W:
Yes.
M:
I'm sorry, but we don't allow returns on sale items.
W:
I know many stores have that policy.
M:
I'm sorry, but we usually don't do it.
W:
I just bought these trousers a week ago. And I am a regular customer here. Can you make an exception this time?
M:
Well. Let me talk to the manager for a moment. Ma'am, the manager said I can do it this time.
W:
Good. I am glad you can make an exception for me.
M:
Please show me your receipt again.
W:
Here it is.
M:
I will have to give you store credit, Ma'am. If you find something else you like in the store, you can use the credit.
W:
Store credit is OK with me. I'm sure I will find something I like. I shop here a lot.
M:
We appreciate your business, Ma'am.

What seems to be the matter? Is it the flu?

⑥Hello, this is TBC Television Studios. How can I help you?
M:
Hello. I am calling because I saw an ad in the campus newspaper. It said you wanted an assistant to work on your local news program.
W:
Right. But you do realize that we just need volunteers. It's an unpaid position.
M:
Oh, sure. I understand that. ⑦I just want to get some experience working for television news production after I get my degree.
W:
I see. Well, you'll need to talk to Miss Black. She is in charge of the program. But first, you'll need to come here to fill out an application form. Can you drop by the studio later today?

M:
Amy, do you like the mouse?
W:
No, the mice always make the house smelly and dirty. But I like Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse is cute! What about chipmunks, especially chipmunks that can sing?
M:
Singing chipmunks? ⑧If they can really sing as well as the chipmunks in the movie Alvin and Chipmunks, I believe I would be a big fan of them.
W:
⑧So do I. They are good singers, and cuter than the mice that always steal our food. Unfortunately, they only exist in the fantasy world.
M:
You really think so?
W:
Yeah, because we've never seen any intelligent animals in the real world. They only appear on TV.
M:
⑨You shouldn't be so passive. Anyway we human beings are the master of the world.
W:
That sounds interesting.

W:
⑩How do you like living in the suburb?
M:
To be honest, I never really appreciated the downtown until I moved away. Suburb living is terribly inconvenient. I can't stand getting up early. To get to work on time, I have to leave at 7:00 am.
W:
Do you drive or take the train?
M:
I drive, and the thing I don't like is the traffic.
W:
You always see the bad side of things. Isn't there anything attractive?
M:
Sorry. Sometimes I'm critical of things even though I know they are good for me.
W:
Being away from the downtown must be nice on weekends. You have a chance to get a lot of exercises.
M:
Yes, one of my favorite pastimes is golf and now I can play frequently. I've improved, too. Yes, I shouldn't be so quick to criticize living in the country.

M:
Anne, do you like vampires?
W:
Yes, I do. I think they are quite cool and mysterious.
M:
So would you like to be a vampire if you have a chance?
W:
No. It's too cruel to drink human blood, and that makes me feel like a beast. What's more, vampire can't walk around under the sun.
M:
That's the disadvantage. So have you ever seen the film—Daybreakers?
W:
Yes. In this movie, the vampires make up the majority of population with only 5% of the human race remaining, so the vampire's food supply meets great crisis.
M:
So how do you think of the film, interesting or disgusting?
W:
I think it's a good movie. It reflects human disadvantages, and tells us to take our human life carefully.
M:
Indeed. If human beings just obey the law of life and never want more of life forever, it wouldn't happen.
W:
Right. Nature is nature. Against the law means dark future.
