答案：
1. D 由下文可知，农夫要出售小狗，所以画了一个招牌(sign)做广告，其他选项都不符合语境。
2. C 此处as表示“当……的时候”。
3. B 一个小孩拉着农夫的裤腿儿，农夫自然要低头看(look down)。
4. B 由常识判断，脖子(neck)后面会出汗，而鼻子(nose)、头(head)或脸(face)的背面不可能出汗。
5. D 农夫说这些小狗要花费(cost)很多钱。
6. D 小男孩低下头(dropped his head)想了一会儿，然后伸进口袋摸了摸，拿出一把零钱(change)递给农夫。
7. B 参见第6题解析。
8. A 农夫吹了(let out)一声口哨，let out发出(叫声等)。carry out执行；put out扑灭；leave out遗漏，省去。9. C 根据语境可知，母狗Dolly是从狗屋里出来的(out)，注意此处out引导的是倒装结构。

11. B 固定词组make ones way表示“行进，前往”。
12. B 此时又有一只小狗慢慢地走出来。由后面的walking unsteadily可知应选B。quickly快速地；oddly古怪地；sadly悲伤地，都与语境不符。
13. C 这只小狗试图尽全力去赶上(catch up)其他小狗。
14. B 从常识看，小男孩应该是指着(pointing)那只小狗说“我要那只”。
15. B 农夫告诉小男孩：“孩子，你是不会要那只狗的……”。mustnt禁止；cant不能；neednt不必，都不符合语境。
16. A 农夫告诉小男孩“这只小狗永远也不会跑(run)”。
17. A 小男孩听到这些话后，从篱笆处退后一步(stepped back)，弯腰拉起自己的一只裤腿儿(trousers)给农夫看。
18. D 参见上题解析。
19. B 由上文看，小男孩的这只鞋子应该是特制的(specially made)。
20. D 最后作者感慨：这个世界上有许多人需要人们的理解。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
Honesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didn’t include her when she told me that if I didn?t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn?t give me any presents.
But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctorpatient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential. Or so I thought.
I had just started working in geriatrics (老年病科).
Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen.
I took a medical history from his daughter who’d accompanied him in the ambulance. She’d been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. “Has he lost any weight recently？”
I asked. “Well, its funny you should mention that, but yes，” she said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. “Why? What are you worried about？” she asked. I hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. “Well, we need to prove it’s not cancer，” I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order. Half an hour later, a nurse called me: “Mr.
McMahons daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer.” My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me.
“Why on earth did you do that？” she asked in disbelief.
I looked at her and bit my lip. “She asked me what I was worried about and I told her，” I said, hanging_my_head. “And give her more to worry about？” replied my consultant. “You dont say the word
‘cancer’
until it’s confirmed.
Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people.”
As it turned out, it wasn’t cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear—and as a doctor it’s important to be mindful of this.
In being truthful, I’d made the situation worse.
1. The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author________.
A.
misunderstood the doctorpatient relationship
B. was anxious to receive Christmas gifts
C. regarded honesty as the best policy
D. had an unhealthy eating habit
2. The author’s consultant was angry with him because_______.
A. he told the daughter what he suspected
B. he delayed running the necessary tests
C. he failed to confirm the patient’s disease
D. he forgot what the consultant had advised
3. The author hung his head ( the underlined part in Para.
4)
because he was feeling ________.
A. guilty
B. hurt
C. disappointed
D. helpless
4. What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?
A. Learning from parents is necessary.
B. Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous.
C. Telling the truth may not always be the best solution.
D. Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy.
答案：
本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一位医生，最初坚信诚实是最好的处世之道。可是一次经历告诉作者，当一个人很紧张、很担心自己爱的人的时候，他们对所听的内容是有选择性的，此时，诚实未必是件好事。
1. C 推理判断题。前两段反复说作者认为诚实就是最好的处世之道。
2. A 细节理解题。根据第四段的后半部分可知，作者的会诊医生很是生他的气，因为作者如实告诉病人的女儿自己内心的担忧，从而引起了不必要的麻烦。
3. A 推理判断题。得知自己的一番话引出这样的麻烦，作者耷拉着头，感到很内疚。
4. C 推理判断题。作者从这次事件中得出的教训是“说实话”未必总是最好的处世之道。

范文：
Dear_Sir，
Today, Im writing to tell you that I lost a suitcase in flight Number BA793 when I was on board on June 3, 2010. Frankly, there are some books that are wanted in reviewing NMET, some cash, a credit card and two bank cards in it. As you know, I’m a student and I need money to buy something to eat. If I don’t eat something, I have no energy to review lessons. All in the suitcase matters to me, so I would like you to do me a favor to see whether you could find it. Besides, I won’t put my heart to study unless it is found. Thus, I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
