　　Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east.

　　A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.

　　She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.

　　“I just can’t leave you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place. I’ll give you a ride home.”

　　“You’ll drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed(困惑).

　　“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.

　　“It’s a long way,” I protested.

　　“Come on, ” she said. “I have nothing else to do.”

　　As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along, ” she said.

　　When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That wouldn’t make it a favor, ” she said. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.”

　　1. Why did the writer say that he would have a long night?

　　A. He wondered how long he had to wait for the next bus.

　　B. No driver would give him a ride.

　　C. He didn’t know the routes.

　　D. He perhaps would have to take a taxi.

　　2. Judging from its context, the place where the writer waited for the second bus was _______.

　　A. very quiet and peaceful

　　B. dark without street lights

　　C. neither clean nor beautiful

　　D. a little unsafe

　　3. Why did the writer change his mind after waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the route?

　　A. No bus would come at the time.

　　B. A taxi ride would be more comfortable.

　　C. He became impatient and a bit worried.

　　D. He knew the driver would never return.

　　4. The bus driver drove the writer home later because ________.

　　A. she happened to go in the same direction

　　B. she wanted to do something good for other people

　　C. her brother told her to do so

　　D. she wanted to earn more money

　　5. The bus driver hoped that the writer ________.

　　A. would do as she did

　　B. would keep her in memory

　　C. would give the money to others

　　D. would do her a favor

　　1. A。推理判断题。根据Four more lights, she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night可知答案为A。

　　2. D。推理判断题。根据I just can’t leave you here, this isn’t the nicest place. I’ll give you a ride home(晚上这里不安全，我将送你回家)可知答案为D。

　　3. C。推理判断题。根据After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home作者在这里等了很久都不见有车来，因此他应该是着急了，所以有搭的士车回家的想法，即答案选C。

　　4. B。推理判断题。从司机的回答Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along 可知他只是想帮助别人，即答案选B。

　　5. A。事实细节题。从司机和作者的对话中可知她只是想为他人做些好事，比较四个选项可知此题最佳答案为A。

　　B段

　　Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He stopped by the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly. He looked at it, and all joy left him. The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down.

　　He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day. They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.

　　He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets —nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea

　　At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.

　　While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. As he walked along, he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat. First he shouted loudly, like a boat captain. Then he said “Ding-Dong-Dong”, “Ding-Dong-Dong” again and again, like the bell of a riverboat. And he made other strange noises. When he came close to Tom, he stopped.

　　Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared a moment and then said: “Hello! I’m going swimming, but you can’t go, can you?”

　　No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Tom’s mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working.

　　Ben said, “Hello, old fellow, you’ve got to work, hey?”

　　Tom turned suddenly and said, “Why, it’s you, Ben! I wasn’t noticing.”

　　“Say —I’m going swimming. Don’t you wish you could? But of course you’d rather work — wouldn’t you? Of course you would.”

　　Tom looked at the boy a bit, and said “What do you call work?”

　　“Why, isn’t that work?”

　　Tom went back to his whitewashing, and answered carelessly.

　　“Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn’t. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.”

　　“Oh come, now, you don’t mean to say that you like it?”

　　The brush continued to move.

　　“Like it? Well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?”

　　Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and stepped back again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said,

　　“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.”

　　Tom thought for a moment, was about to agree; but he changed his mind.

　　“No —no —it won’t do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I don’t think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough.”

　　“No —is that so? Oh come, now —let me just try. Only just a little.” “Ben, I’d like to, but if it isn’t done right, I’m afraid Aunt Polly … ”

　　“Oh, I’ll be careful. Now let me try. Say —I’ll give you the core of my apple.”

　　“Well, here —No, Ben, now don’t. I’m afraid …”

　　“I’ll give you all of it.”

　　Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was tired, Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite; and when Billy was tired, Johnny bought in for a dead rat —and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures.

　　And he had not worked. He had had a nice idle time all the time, with plenty of company －and the fence had been whitewashed three times. If he hadn’t run out of whitewash, Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends.

　　He had discovered a great law of human action, namely, that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get.

　　1. How many characters are mentioned in this story?

　　A. 4

　　B. 5

　　C. 6

　　D. 7

　　2. Why did Tom take all his bits of toys out of his pockets?

　　A. Because he is tired and wanted to play with his toys.

　　B. Because he wanted to throw his toys away.

　　C. Because he wanted to give his toys to his friends.

　　D. Because he wanted to know if he could buy help with his toys.

　　3. Tom was about to agree to let Ben whitewash when he changed his mind because ______.

　　A. Tom wanted to do the whitewashing by himself

　　B. Tom planned to make Ben give up his apple first

　　C. Tom was unwilling to let Ben do the whitewashing

　　D. Tom was afraid Ben would do the whitewashing better.

　　4. We can learn from the passage that ________.

　　A. Tom was interested in whitewashing the fence.

　　B. Tom had a lot of friends who are ready to help others.

　　C. Tom was unwilling to whitewash the fence, but he managed to let other boys do it for him

　　D. Tom was good at whitewashing the fence, so he looked at the result of his work with the eye of an artist.

　　5. What made Ben Rogers eagerly gave up his apple and offer to brush the fence for Tom?

　　A. His warm heart and kindness to friends.

　　B. His curiosity about Tom’s brushing job.

　　C. Tom’s threat.

　　D. Aunt Polly’s idea]

　　6. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?

　　B. Tom And His Fellows
