　　Ⅳ. 阅读理解

　　One morning there was a message on the answering machine from an angry customer, complaining about her lack of service－service that had been stopped because her check had bounced(拒付)．

　　As it is my job to handle payments received, it was my duty to collect the check. As is often the case when a check bounces, I soon found that this woman's phone number was no longer in service. A check of the caller I．D. told us the call had come from the manager's office of the apartment building where our customer lived. We left a message with the manager and within the hour our call was returned.

　　I told our customer gently, sympathetically that a check she had written had been returned for lack of funds. I told her I always want to let people know about returned checks quickly because the huge fees the banks charge can cause more checks to be returned and more fees to be charged. I told her I hoped she could contact the bank and get things straightened out before her problems got worse. I also told her, gently once more，that I hated to add to her problems but she would owe us a fee for the returned check because the bank charges us a fee when a check is returned.

　　She told me she had difficulties because of being on a fixed income and being in poor health. She told me she had no children but had raised several that belonged to her husband and after living with him thirty years he had left her for another woman.

　　Finally, after she had promised to pay, I told her not only do I care about her situation, but she taught me something. When a person is angry, there may be reasons you don't know about. If you don't react with anger, you may learn what the real problem is and may in some way be able to help, if only with a little sympathy.

　　1. Why did the author try to call the woman?

　　A. To apologize to her.

　　B. To solve her problem.

　　C. To provide better service.

　　D. To charge for the fees.

　　2. How did the author get in touch with the woman?

　　A. By calling her manager.

　　B. By finding her apartment.

　　C. By leaving a message.

　　D. By contacting the bank.

　　3. What can we learn from the passage?

　　A. The woman's husband passed away and left several children for her.

　　B. The woman had to pay the check as well as a fee for the returned check.

　　C. The author will help the woman overcome her difficulties by paying for her.

　　D. The check written by the woman had been returned because of the wrong number.

　　4. What is the purpose of this text?

　　A. To solve a problem.

　　B. To present a research result.

　　C. To tell an interesting story.

　　D. To conclude a lesson.

　　[文章大意]　本文主要讲述了作者如何带着同情心与客户谈论所欠的债务，从而了解他们的困境。

　　1. D。细节理解题。由第二段第一句“As it is my job to handle

　　payments received，it was my duty to collect the check.”可知作者打电话给这位妇女是为了收取她所欠的费用。

　　2. C。细节理解题。由第二段最后一句“We left a message with

　　the manager and within the hour our call was returned.”可知作者是通过留信息的方法联系上那位妇女的，故选C项。

　　3. B。推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“I also told her，gently once

　　more, that I hated to add to her problems but she would owe us a fee

　　for the returned check because the bank charges us a fee when a check

　　is returned.”可知，这位妇女不但要付支票，而且还得付退回支票所收的费用。

　　4. D。主旨大意题。由最后一段作者所得出的结论，可知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是得出一个经验教训，故选D项。

　　Ⅴ. 书面表达

　　高中生熬夜现象开始上升。下面三幅图片是对高中生熬夜情况的调查结果。请你根据图片的内容，写一篇调查报告，并提出个人建议。

　　注意：

　　1．词数150左右；

　　2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。

　　One possible version：

　　As is shown in the first pie, more and more senior students are staying up late at night now. 97.83% of all are senior one students, while only 2.17% are those in senior two. To our happiness, no one in senior three is doing so.

　　Why they prefer doing so is shown in the second pie. Most of those students staying up are studying, which make up 45.65%, while 19.57% are playing online games and 19.56% are doing something else. There are even 15.22% who are just following this trend.

　　But it has brought about something really bad to the students. More students are influenced by staying up. 47.25% of the students feel inefficient when listening to the teacher in class, and 7.87% feel uneasy in their body. However, only 6.7% do better in their study.

　　So in my opinion, they should arrange their time scientifically. They should spend limited time in studying rather than playing.
