            • 1. The writers of murder stories go to a great deal of trouble to keep us guessing right up to the end.In actual fact,people often behave more strangely in real life than they do in stories.
              The following advertisement once appeared in a local newspaper:“An opportunity to earn $250in a few minutes.A man willing to take chances is wanted for an out-of-the-ordinary job which can be performed only once.“A reader found this offer very generous and applied to the advertiser,but being a bit suspicious,he gave a false name.Soon afterwards,he received a reply.Enclosed in the envelope was a typed note instructing him to ring a certain number if he was still interested.He did so and learned on the telephone that the advertiser wanted him“to get rid of somebody“and would discuss it more fully with him the next day.But the man told the police and from then on acted under their instructions.
              The police saw the two men met and watched them as they drove away together.In the car the advertiser came to the point at once:he told the man he wanted him to shoot his wife.The reason he gave was that he was suffering from an incurable disease and wanted to live in a warmer country,but his wife objected to this.Giving the man some money,the advertiser told him to buy a gun and warned him to be careful of the dog which,though it would not bite,might attract attention.He also gave him a photograph of his wife so that he would be able to recognize her,After that,the advertiser suggested that the man should“do the job“next morning.Meanwhile,he would prepare his wife by telling her that a young man was going to call.After the murder,they would meet again outside a railway station and the money would be paid as arranged.The second meeting never took place,for the advertiser was arrested shortly afterwards and charged with attempting to persuade someone to murder his wife.

              A.doubtful        B.sure        C.persuaded        D.unexpected
              28.Why did the man put an advertisement in a local newspaper?    
              A.To hire someone to kill himself because he was seriously ill.

              A.He was suffering from a deadly disease.

              D.He paid the man he hired beforehand.

              B.The reader was in great need of money,so he wanted to get the job.
              C.The advertiser was caught by the police right after he met the reader.
              D.The dog in the advertiser’s house was very fierce.
            • 2. Half a year before graduation from college,my son David began to seek a job.Due to the financial crisis,the competition was ever-fierce.My son targeted a company that was located in a coastal city.It was intended to employ only one person among more than twenty candidates,I said to David,“You should not harbor too much hope for fear that you would feel terribly disappointed when you fail.”He said to me,“I am not afraid of disappointment.As long as I try,there will always be hope!”
              Three young men could enter the final round,which would later decide one person to be employed.Everything seemed to go quite well and David entered the final round in a week.
              Unexpectedly,the interview was unbelievably simple,during which the interviewer only chatted with them for a while.The interview strategies my son prepared were not useful at all.The interviewer said the company would inform them of the result in 3days.On the morning of the third day,David received the text from the company that he was not employed.David felt disappointed.
              In nightfall that day,David suddenly told me excitedly on phone that he had been employed.Greatly surprised,I asked him,“What’s the whole matter?”David told me that he received another text saying that he was employed.David felt very confused about it.Later he found out the first text sent to him was also part of the test in the interview.Three men received the same text this morning and only David’s reply was satisfying to the company.I asked my son,“How did all of you reply?”My son said,“One did not reply.The other said“goodbye”and I said“thank you”.”
              Only then did I know that my son’s“hope”came in that way.That is,when you feel disappointed,do not forget to say“Thank you”to the one who disappoints you.Actually,it is a piece of cake to say“Thank you”.Saying“Thank you”shows respect for others’work and demonstrates your grand generosity.Therefore,while under the same condition,you will get the upper hand in terms of opportunities compared with others!

              26.What can we learn about David from the passage?    
              A.Being short of money,David was eager to find a job.
              B.He wanted to work for a company in the local city.
              C.He was not hopeful of getting the job.
              D.He took a positive attitude towards failure.
              27.Which of the following is True about David’s final round interview?    
              A.David was nervous because the competition was really fierce.
              B.David’s preparations for the interview were not used.
              C.The three young men performed equally well.
              D.The result was announced on the spot.

            • 3. 【1】A hiker in California got trapped for days as he walked on a mountain trail.It is believed he was looking for shade and lost his footing (失足跌倒),getting stuck.He was discovered by a dog and his owner who happened to be passing by on their routine walk.Ramon Llamas and his dog,Mole,often go on walks,and the 1-year-old dog likes to explore the area when he is on hikes with his owner.
              【2】Recently,the two had been out on their customary walk and the dog suddenly began crying.Mole pulled Llamas over to the spot.At first Llamas thought his dog had discovered a wild animal and he asked others in the area to call 911.However,it was no wild animal appearing out of the rocks.Llamas discovered there was a man trapped.
              【3】According to Yahoo!News,the hiker,identified only as 44-year-old“Paul”in media reports,was severely dehydrated (脱水的).He had been trapped in the rocks on Mount Rubidoux for somewhere between four and six days.According to reports,the man was not sure exactly how long he had been trapped.
              【4】Reportedly,the man was trapped in a hidden location in the rocks about 100feet from the main trail.Due to the rocks,no one could see or hear him.Paul asked Llamas for water and said,“Please don’t leave me.”According to media reports he was very dehydrated and hardly conscious.Emergency services were called and the Riverside Fire Department came to the mountain and helped rescue the man.Paul is reportedly recovering in a local hospital.He has said he wants to thank Llamas and Mole for finding him,which ultimately saved his life.His doctors believe he will be OK and will make a full recovery.

            • 4. Finally,I entered the university.Because of my careful savings,I did not have to work during the school year.Then,summer came and it was time to work harder than ever.I continued working as a waitress at night,instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons.I even decided to take a class at a community (社区) college.This class at the community college saved me 650dollars.It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.
              During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling,I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus (校园) admissions office answering phones.This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out.I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks,but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me 1,600dollars more to get the credits in Israel.About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had 1,600dollars in the bank that I had forgotten about!One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost,but the loss of time to make money; however,I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before.The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.This experience has shaped me in many important ways.The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic (伦理).Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar.It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.

            • 5. A month after Hurricane Katrina,I returned home in New Orleans.There lay my house,reduced to waist-high rains,smelly and dirty.
              Before the trip,I’d had my car fixed.When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill,she noticed my Louisiana license plate.“You from New Orleans?”she asked.I said I was,“No charge.”She said,and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet.The next day I went for a haircut,and the same thing happened.
              As my wife was studying in Florida,we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage (抵押贷款) on our ruined house.We looked at many places,but none was satisfactory.We’d begun to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while,when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California.He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for Slate,the online magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans.
              It sounded too good to be true,but I replied,thanking him for his exceptional generosity,that we had no places to go back.Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to rent his house to me while he went to England on his one-year-paid leave.The rent was rather reasonable.I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy,and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.
              Throughout this painful experience,the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity.It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance.

              36.The garage employee’s attitude toward the author was that of

              B.He was a poet at the University of Florida.
              C.He learned about the author’s sufferings via e-mail.
              D.He offered the author a new house free of charge.
              38.It can be inferred from the text that

              A.was located in the University of Florida

            • 6. With my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane,I was searching for an old lady’s missing hearing aid during the flight from Sydney to Los Angeles.It occurred to me that this may not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun(尼姑).
              I had seen the old lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight.I asked a few times what was wrong,but she didn’t answer at first--she couldn’t hear me.She was wearing a woolen coat.Judging from her accent,she came from Eastern Europe.
              Do you know what hearing aids cost?Thousands,especially for the new tiny hidden-in-the-ear type she described.It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one,and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right.Therefore,my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid.But how does one find a tiny black object in a shadowy jet cabin(机舱)?
              The lady wasn’t even sure where or when she had lost it.At one point,a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the lady’s seat; I wasn’t impressed.They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight!My flashlight turned up all kinds of small objects,bits of plastic,broken pieces of headphones.
              The old lady said that she gave up.Yet I couldn’t.After we landed,as passengers streamed past us,I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair.Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and on the floor.
              Look!A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat.
              What a rush.“I found it!”
              With great astonishment and gratitude,the old lady responded,“I haven’t the words to express my thanks!”

              26.Why did the author put her hands and knees on the floor?    
              A.She is a religious Buddhist nun.
              B.She fell down from her seat.
              C.She helped the old lady look for her hearing aid.
              D.She wanted to stand out among the passengers.
              27.What do we know about the old lady?    
              A.She ignored the author’s question on purpose.
              B.She is an American.
              C.She lost her hearing aid by accident.
              D.It was not difficult for her to get the hearing aid at all.
              28.Where was the hearing aid found?    
              A.On the previous flight.
              B.Close to the old lady’seat.
              C.On the wheelchair.

            • 7. At thirteen,I was diagnosed(诊所) with  kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me.When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks,I could not.
              In my first literature class,Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it,all within 45 minutes.I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith,you see,the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it.”
              She glanced down at me through her glasses,“you are no different from your classmates,young man.”
              I tried,but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.
              In the quietness of my bedroom,the story suddenly all became clear to me.It was about a blind person,Louis Braille.He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education.But Louis didn’t give up.Instead,h invented a reading system of raised dots(点),which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
              Wasn’t I the“blind”in my class,being made to learn like the“sighted”students?My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed,I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place.If Louis could find his way out of his problems,why should I ever give up?
              I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith,so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an“A”on it.At the bottom of the paper were these words:“See what you can do when you keep trying?”

              C.He gave up reading

              38.What was Mrs.Smith‘s attitude to the author at the end of the story?    
              A.Angry               
              B.Impatient          
              C.Sympathetic             
              D.Encouraging

            • 8. About a year ago,I went to stay at a Detroit hotel.I didn't want to carry too much money with me,so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred-dollar bill in the safe for me.
              The next morning,however,the clerk said he knew nothing about my money.I didn't have any proof that I had given the man the money.There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.
              The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk.So we did.An hour later,I went back to the desk and asked for my money.Since I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill,the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.
              Another hour later,I put the second part of the lawyer's plan into action.This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel to ask for the hundred-dollar bill once again,and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me,I said it was not true.The lawyer said to him,“I saw this gentleman give you a hundred-dollar bill.If you don't return it immediately,I'll be forced to call the police.“The clerk realized he had been cheated,so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
              “I don't know how to thank you enough for getting my money back,”I said to the lawyer.And what do you suppose he answered?He said,“Oh,don't thank me.That will be a hundred dollars,please.”

              31.What do you think a“safe”is    
              A.A box to put money or other valuables in  
              B.A desk at the checking counter
              C.A room in which guests’money is kept  
              D.A hotel to stay in
              32.The hotel clerk finally returned the first hundred-dollar bill to me because    
              A.the lawyer had seen everything  
              B.he was afraid of going to prison
              C.the bill was not real money   
              D.I had called the police

            • 9. Coffee is a little black-and-brown Australian dog.He’s not a particularly bright dog.While Dad can make my sister and me afraid just by the tone of his voice,I have never heard him raise his voice at Coffee.In fact,one look from Coffee at the biscuit tin is enough to send my dad flying to get him a snack.Whenever we protest about the unfair treatment,Dad has a guilty smirk on his face.It has become a long-standing family joke that Coffee is the closest thing to a son Dad will ever have.
              Then,five years ago,our lives were turned upside down when Dad suffered two major strokes within a month.For four months,mentally he was nonresponsive.We had to take turns standing by his bedside to protect him.We were exhausted but grateful that he was still alive.As the months went by,I couldn’t help but talk about Coffee constantly,often hoping that Dad could show some awareness of what I said.
              Then one day,without even realizing it,I blurted out,“Is Coffee a tiger?”Dad began to smile.It was the first sign in four months that Dad had showed awareness of what I said.Seeing this,the whole family felt a huge weight lift from our shoulders.
              Over the next nine months,Dad had to relearn all the basic things we take for granted.Dad,who was a fiercely independent man with a successful career before,found it increasingly frustrating.The only thing that ever brought a smile to his face was talk of Coffee.
              When we massaged Dad’s arm and legs to prevent his muscles from weakening,I would say,“Now all you need is Coffee to give you a‘lick-lick’foot massage!”No matter how many times I repeated this comment,the whole family would laugh.

              26.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that Dad    
              A.liked sons more than daughters                B.had a preference for Coffee

              27.Why did the author begin to talk about Coffee in the first four months?    
              A.To kill the boredom.
              B.To regain her dad’s consciousness.
              C.To laugh at the foolishness of Coffee.
              D.To keep up her family’s spirits.
              28.How did the author feel after seeing Dad’s response to her talking?    
              A.Surprised.  B.Doubtful.  C.Relieved.  D.Regretful.
              29.During the next nine months,Dad    
              A.felt discouraged while learning the basic things.

              C.often required the stories of Coffee.
              D.would like Coffee to accompany him

            • 10. Peter loved to shop used articles.Almost a month ago,he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them.As he was purchasing it,the salesgirl said,“Uh,look,the game box haven’t even been opened yet.That might be worth some money.”
              Peter examined the box,and,sure enough,it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic.And he saw a date of 1973on the back of the box.
              “You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet,and see what happens.”the salesgirl said.

              “No problem.”Peter said.
              After he got home,Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game.But he couldn’t find it.Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search.The search result was 543websites containing information about the changes of the game.Over the years,the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors.He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game.Peter emailed some of them,telling them what he had.
              Two weeks later,Peter went back to the shop.
              “Hello.Do you still remember the unopened word game?”
              The salesgirl looked at him for a second,then recognized him and said,“Oh,hi!”
              “I’ve got something for you,”Peter said.“I sold the game and made 1,000.Thankyouforyoursuggestion.”Hehandedherthree 100bills.
