　　The Davies were invited to Christmas drinks at a hotel once.They left their car in the carpark outside and went in.Mr.Davies was proud of the fact that he never got drunk，so he was careful not to drink too much，in spite of his host's attempts to press more and more on him.

　　During the party，Mrs.Davies found she had forgotten to bring a handkerchief，so she asked her husband to go out to the car and get her one.He did so，but on his way back，he heard a car horn blowing in the carpark.Thinking someone might be in trouble，he went over to the car from which the noise was coming.He found a small black bear sitting in the driving seat and blowing the horn.

　　When Mr.Davies got back to the party，he told people about the black bear，but of course they did not believe him and thought he was drunk.When he took them out to the carpark to show them that he was serious，he found the car with the bear in had gone.

　　There were so many jokes about Mr.Davies's black bear during the following days that he at last put an advertisement in the local paper，“Will anybody who saw a black bear blowing a horn in a car outside the Central Hotel at about 7 p．m. on Christmas Day please phone...”

　　Two days later a Mrs.Richards phoned to say she and her husband had left their pet bear in their car outside the Central Hotel for a few minutes that evening and that it was quite possible that he had been blowing the horn.Mrs.Richards did not seem to think there was anything strange about that.“It likes blowing car horns，”she said，“and we don't mind as long as we are not actually driving the car.”

　　【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文。Davies夫妇应邀参加酒会。Davies先生出去为妻子取手帕时听见汽车喇叭在响，于是去看个究竟，发现是一只熊在按喇叭。他返回酒会后向人谈及，却被人误解为他已经喝醉，之后登广告才澄清事实，“沉冤得以昭雪”。

　　1．What was Mr.Davies careful of during the party?

　　A．Not drinking too much.

　　B．Not facing the black bear.

　　C．Not getting pressed by the host.

　　D．Not forgetting his wife's handkerchief.

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。第一段最后一句提示选A。]

　　2．Why did Mr.Davies go to the car from which came the noise?

　　A．He wanted to see the bear.

　　B．He thought he might help one in need.

　　C．He wanted to check whose bear it was.

　　D．He thought the bear was in trouble.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。第二段第三句有“Thinking someone might be in trouble”的明确提示选B。]

　　3．What did Mr.Davies put the advertisement for?

　　A．He wanted to find the bear.

　　B．He wanted to prove he was not drunk.

　　C．He planned to make a joke.

　　D．He hoped to make friends with the bear.

　　答案　B　[推理判断题。因为被人嘲笑，不得不登广告来找到那只熊来证明自己的清白。A选项有一定的干扰性， 但找到熊不是目的而是手段。]

　　4．Which of the following will serve as the best title of the passage?

　　A．A Bear Blowing a Car Horn

　　B．A Christmas Party with a Bear

　　C．A Man Never Gets Drunk

　　D．A Couple in a Christmas Party

　　答案　A　[主旨大意题。B选项可以比较容易排除，因为该故事中的bear并未参加酒会。C选项干扰性很大，但文章的标题用A Man Never Gets Drunk只表示Davies对喝酒的自控能力，没有提及因为熊按喇叭引起的误会。D选项只指一对夫妇参加酒会的事，没有谈及酒会上的插曲。]

　　The city of Angkor was

　　the

　　capital

　　of

　　the Khmer Empire from the 9th to the 15th centuries.The Khmer Empire was one of the most prosperous kingdoms in the history of Southeast Asia，and its prosperity was expressed through a wide range of architecture.

　　The city of Angkor was founded on political and religious ideas adapted from India，and the temples of Angkor were intended as a place of worship for the king and a way for him to ensure his immortality through identification with the Hindu gods.

　　Angkor Wat was first built by King Suryavarman Ⅱ in the 12th century as a vast funerary temple that would hold his remains，symbolically confirming his permanent identity with Vishnu.

　　During its six centuries as imperial capital，Angkor went through many changes in architectural styles and in religion.The city of Angkor transferred itself from the Hindu god Shiva to the Hindu god Vishnu，and finally to the Mahayana Buddhist goddess Avalokitesvara.

　　By the late 13th century，the once frenzied pace of Angkor's architectural pursuits had begun to die down，and a more restrained type of religion was on the rise under the growing influence of Theravada Buddhism.

　　At the same time，Angkor and the Khmer Empire were increasingly threatened and attacked by invading armies.By the 16th century，the golden age of Angkor was over and many of the great temples began to move back into the jungle.

　　From the 15th to 19th centuries，Theravada Buddhist monks cared for Angkor Wat，and it is thanks to them that the temple remains mostly intact.Angkor Wat became one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Southeast Asia.Angkor Wat is the best preserved example of Khmer architecture in Cambodia and is so grand in design that some rank it among the seven wonders of the world.It appears on the Cambodian national flag，a very rare instance of a flag with an image of a building.

　　Notes：

　　①symbolically adv.象征性地　②frenzied adj.发狂的

　　③intact adj.完整的　④pilgrimage n．朝拜
