He shielded his eyes with his hand.‎ ‎ "You're a very silly person," the figure in the doorway said, his voice dry em dust. As the man came closer,Buster could see he was well dressed. His face seemed familiar, but Buster couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.‎ ‎ "You should have taken more notice of the sign outside," the man rasped.

Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. "Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira"‎ ‎ He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill He didn't have change, so I told him not to worry.‎ ‎ He .said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.‎ ‎ When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the comer selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.‎ ‎ I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What's up”. I asked him. “I...I don't have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills.‎ ‎ "Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. "Thank you, sir," he said. 'Thank you very much.”‎ ‎ When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he's a cheat (骗子)? And then I wondered why I did it Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.‎ ‎ Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face ‎ "oh, gosh! Long time."‎ ‎ "Are you in school now?” I asked.‎ ‎ He nodded.‎ ‎ "That's good," I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. "Here," I held out a 500 naira bill. "Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. "What's wrong?” I asked. "It's a gift"‎ ‎ He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. HIS face shone with sweat (汗水)。 He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, "I've been waiting to give these to you."‎ ‎64. What was the author's first impression of the boy?‎ ‎ A. He seemed to be poor and greedy. ‎ B. He seemed to have suffered a lot ‎ C. He seemed younger than his age. ‎ D. He seemed good at bargaining ‎65.

For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the onely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions（文学志向） were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated（孤独） and undervalued. I knew that I had a natural ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.     However, the quantity of serious writing which I produced all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had “chair-like teeth” - a good enough expression. At eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a poem which was printed in the local(地方的) newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished “nature poems”. I also, about twice, attempted a short story which was a failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years.‎ ‎56.The underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to       .‎ A. the quantity of serious writing B. the writer’s first poem C. the writer’s childhood D. the tiger in the poem ‎57.From the text, we learn that as a little boy the writer     .‎ A. had no playmates B. showed his gift for writing C. put out lots of poems and stories D. got his first poem published in 1916‎ ‎58.What can be inferred about the writer?‎ A. He was least favoured in his family.‎ B. He had much difficulty in talking with others.‎ C. He had an unhappy childhood for lack of care.‎ D. His loneliness resulted in his interest in writing.‎ 答案 56.B 57.B 58.D ‎【六】‎ LONDON Thursday Just Read—Eddy missed his girlfriend so made he flew back to Britain from Austria to propose(求婚)　to her.The problem is she did the same in the opposite direction.‎ He and Anna c managed to miss each other when the the same airport waiting room in Singapore at he same time to wait for connecting .‎ Anna,heartbroken,when she arrived at Eddy’s Sydney flat lind he had flow to London,told times,“It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on. ”‎ ‎“He is the most romantic person I have ever known.I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(冲动的)people.We are always trying to surprise each other.”‎ After an 11,000-mile flight across games,she was greeted by Eddy’s astonished roommate asking what she was doing.‎ Eddy,a 27-year-old engineer taken year off to travel round Austria be he was missing Anna,a 26-year old,so much he got a job on a Syd (工地)and started for a surprise.‎ He then flew home no and went to her flat armed with engagement(订婚)　ring,wine and thoughts.‎ ‎“I really missed Anna and I’d been thinking about her all the come I was so excited when she phoned me from Australia,”he said.‎ Eddy then asked Anna to marry him on the phone .“I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted,”she said.‎ Anna was given a tour of Sydney by Eddy’s friends before going back home.Eddy and to stay in Britain for two weeks a could not change his ticket.‎ ‎45.What does the last sentence of the first paragraph tell us?‎ A.Anna flew to Britain from Australia to marry him.‎ B.Anna flew to Australia from Britain to marry him.‎ C.Anna flew to Britain from Australia to propose to him.‎ D.Anna flew to Australia from Britain to propose to him.‎ ‎46.The underlined word“miss”in paragraph 2 most probably means_______.‎ A.escape from B.fail to understand C.fail to meet D.long to see ‎ ‎47.Eddy got a job on a Sydney building site because he________.‎ A.wanted to travel round Australia ‎ B.needed money to pay his daily cost C.was an engineer at this building site D.hoped to make money from this job ‎48.Which of the following is TRUE about Eddy and Anna according to the text?‎ A.Eddy proposed to Anna on the phone and Anna accepted.‎ B.Anna stayed in Australia waiting for Eddy’s arrival.‎ C.Anna bad a good time touring Sydney with Dddy.‎ D.Eddy met Anna in the airport waiting room by chance.‎ 答案 45.C 46.A 47.B 48.A ‎【七】‎ A month after Hurricace Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans.

His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties（地方特色菜）in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.‎ Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality（个性）and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”‎ But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company（航空公司）was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, Lieberman got the job.‎ ‎41.We can learn from the text that Lieberman’s family ____.

The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.‎ Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction（反应）. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO（总裁）with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.‎ Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEO’s to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.‎ Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could but this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character（人品）than about their wealth and power.‎ The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.‎ ‎“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”‎ ‎49.What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress? A. He was fired. B. He was blamed. C. The woman comforted him. D. The woman left the restaurant at once.‎ ‎50.Odland leaned one of his life lessons from ____. A. his experience as a waiter.

CEOs often show their power before others C. one should respect others no matter who they are D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants 答案 49.C 50.A 51.D 52.C ‎【十】‎ Lying in the sun on a rock,the cougar(美洲豹)saw Jeb and his son,Tom before they saw it.Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands,making himself look big to the cougar,It worked.The cougar hesitated,ready to attack Jeb,but ready to forget the whole thing,too.‎ Jeb let go of his kacked,grasped Tom and held him across his body,making a cross.Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger,and it rose up,ready to move away,but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.‎ ‎“Tom,no”shouted his father.‎ But Tom brokd and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar.The second Tom broke free,Jeb threw himself on the cougar,just as it jumped from the rock.They hit each other in mid-air and both fell,The cougar was on Jeb in a flash,fotgeiting about Tomm,which was what Jeb wanted.‎ Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined manstands a chance,even with just his fists.As the cougar’s claws(爪子)got into his left shoulder,Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard.The animal howled（吼叫）and put its head back.Jeb followed up with his other fist.Then out of the corner of his eye.Jeb saw Tom.The boy was running back to help his father.‎ ‎“Knife,Tom,”shouted Jeb.‎ The boy ran to his father’s bag,while Jeb strated shouting as well as hitting,to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom.Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb.The cougar was moving its head in and out,trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms.Tom ‎ swung with the knife,into the cougar’s back.It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.‎ The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.‎ ‎63.Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?‎ A.
