　　My name’s Geoffrey Chaucer. It was 16th April 1386, and I was in London at an inn in Southwark. Tomorrow I would go to Canterbury, to the shrine (圣地) of Saint Thomas Becket, together with twenty-nine other people. Before I say more, I want to tell you about some of the people with me.

　　First there was a knight, a good man who fought well and knew many different countries. He was a true friend to everyone, and always helped people when they needed it. His clothes were old, dark, and dirty from many years of fighting.

　　Then there was a businessman with an expensive hat on his head. The man, who looked wealthier than he truly was, always said, “I’m doing very well.” A very quick thinker, he talked about ships and the sea a lot, and showed much interest in changing money from different countries.

　　After the businessman came a franklin (乡绅) with a white beard. He asked people from near and far to visit him at home as he liked eating and drinking and having a good time with others. He was an important man, he knew right from wrong, and people listened to him.

　　There was a woman from Bath. Her face was open, and nice-looking, but she couldn’t hear very well. In her red dress, she was a big woman with a big smile and big teeth, laughing a lot and talking easily. She knew all about love.

　　So there we were, all thirty of us, at the inn. The landlord, a tall fat man, brought us the best dinner in London. He would also join our journey tomorrow. After we finished eating, the landlord smiled, suggesting “We’re going to Canterbury tomorrow, and that’s four days from here. One by one, let’s all tell a story on the road to make the time go quicker. And to the teller of the best story we can give a free dinner here at my inn when we get back. What do you say?” We all said “yes” happily to him. Then the question for us was: Who goes first?

　　31. Which of the following can be described as kind-hearted?

　　A. The knight.

　　B. The businessman.

　　C. The franklin.

　　D. The woman.

　　32. Which is TRUE of the people described in the text?

　　A. The knight always wore very expensive clothes.

　　B. The franklin usually spent time on his own.

　　C. The woman was deaf and loved the red color.

　　D. The businessman was not as rich as he seemed.

　　33. The underlined sentence most probably means “______”.

　　A. Who will be the first to be served at the inn

　　B. Who will be the first to tell a story on the road

　　C. Who will go at the front of the traveling group

　　D. Who will be the leader of the traveling group

　　34. According to the text, Chaucer would probably arrive in Canterbury on ______.

　　A. April 19th

　　B. April 20th

　　C. April 24th

　　D. April 28th

　　32.D考查推理判断。根据 The man, who looked wealthier than he truly was, 可知这个商人看起来比他真实的更富有，可知他没有看起来那么富有，故选D。

　　33.B考查推理判断。根据 What do you say?” We all said “yes” happily to him. Then the question for us was: Who goes first?可知你们要说什么吗？是的，我们很高兴的回答他，然后对我们的问题是，谁先说。可以推理出谁第一个讲故事，所以选B。

　　34.B考查推理判断。根据 It was 16th April 1386可知现在是16日， “We’re going to Canterbury tomorrow, and that’s four days from here.可知我们明天出发，四天到达，所以16+4=20，所以选B。

　　B

　　Four days after Dad’s 67th birthday, he had a heart attack. Luckily, he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. He refused to follow doctor’s orders, and his sour attitude made everyone upset when they visit him. Dad was left alone.

　　So I asked Dad to come to live with me on my small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.

　　One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer’s eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.

　　A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.”

　　I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you’re going to kill him?”

　　“Ma’am,” he said gently. “We don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.”

　　The police’s calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I’ll take him,” I said.

　　I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.

　　Dad wrinkled his face. “I don’t want it,” he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.

　　Dad’s anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.

　　This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.

　　Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne’s cold nose burrowing (搜寻) through my bed covers. He had never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my father’s room and found that he had passed away.

　　Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed. As I buried him near their favorite stream, I silently thanked the dog for restoring Dad’s peace of mind.

　　The next time you get caught jumping on your bed you can tell your parents with a straight face that you are not playing, simply getting ready got a promising career in “Mattress Jumping”. Believe it or not, there are some people who actually get paid to do that! According to Reuben Reynoso, a professional mattress tester at San Francisco’s McRoskey Mattress Factory that still makes every mattress by hand, it is real work and needs some training. For a start, it’s not all about jumping to new heights or doing tricks like professional athletes, but rather about feeling each area of the mattress carefully to detect the filling. In order to do it right, every bit of the mattress has to be tested slowly and deliberately.

　　Over the years, Reynoso has figured out the perfect routine. He begins by placing a protective mat over the mattress so that it doesn’t get dirty or absorb the smell from his feet. Then begins the fun---he steps to the middle of an edge and then takes five steps back and five steps forward. In this way, he slowly but surely, covers the entire surface. The key according to him is to find the perfect number of jumps---Too many and he will end up destroying the mattress completely. Too few? And it will not fit into the giant machine for that final sewing! Who knew a job that sounds so simple could have so many skills!

　　While Reuben will not reveal how he got into this profession, he will admit that it is more fun than being a carpenter, roofer, construction worker and railroad engineer---all jobs he has tried previous to finding his true profession!

　　39. We learn from the text that the McRoskey Mattress Factory ______.

　　A. is the world’s oldest mattress factory

　　B. make mattresses for sports

　　C. produces mattresses by hand

　　D. hires athletes as mattress testers

　　40. The protective mat is used to ______.

　　A. prevent the tester getting hurt

　　B. keep the mattress as clean as possible

　　C. protect the mattress from being destroyed

　　D. make the mattress fit into the sewing machine

　　【解析】

　　试题分析： 下次你被困在床上的时候，你可以直接告诉你的父母，你不是在玩，而是准备有前途的职业在“床垫跳”。不管你信不信，有些人实际上是在为你付出的！

　　39.C考查细节理解。根据 San Francisco’s McRoskey Mattress Factory that still makes every mattress by hand可知每个床垫都是手工制作，故选C。

　　40.B考查细节理解。根据 He begins by placing a protective mat over the mattress so that it doesn’t get dirty or absorb the smell from his feet. 他开始把一个保护垫放在床垫上，这样它就不会弄脏或从他的脚上吸收气味。可知床垫保持干净，故选B。

　　42

　　For a long time doctors have told people not to drink too much coffee, because it may lead to heart problems, high blood pressure, insomnia (失眠) and headaches.
