8. Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did

not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people’s houses.

Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?”

“Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”

So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”

“How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.”

Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.”

“That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.”

A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at

mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained(抱怨).”

Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.

When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him. “That was a surprise, wasn’t it? Who complained about the noise?”

“I did,” Mr Harris answered in a tired voice. How long would Mrs. Harris like the party to last? (本题分数:1 分,本题得分:1 分。)

9. Certainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber(海参). All living creatures, especially human

beings, have their peculiarities, but everything about the little sea cucumber seems unusual.

What else can be said about an odd animal that, among other eccentricities, eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous but is considered supremely edible by gourmets (美食家)?

For some fifty million years, despite all eccentricities, the sea cucumber has subsisted on its diet of mud. It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet, under rocks in shallow water, or on the surface of mud flats. Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has the ability to such up mud or sand and digest whatever nutrients are present.

Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish-brown to sand-color and nearly white. One form even has vivid purple tentacles. Usually the creatures are cucumber-shaped — hence their name — and because they are typically rock inhabitants, this shape, combined with flexibility, enables them to squeeze into narrow cracks where they are safe from predators and ocean currents.

Although they have voracious appetites, eating day and night, sea cucumbers have the capacity to become inactive and live at a low metabolic rate —(ceding sparingly or not at all for long periods, so that the marine organisms that provide their food have a chance to multiply. If it were not for this faculty, they would devour all the food available in a short time and would probably starve themselves out of existence.

But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself. Its major enemies are fish and crabs, when attacked, it squirts all its internal organs into the water. It also casts off attached structures such as tentacles.

The sea cucumber will eviscerate(排出内脏) and regenerate itself if it is attacked or even touched; it will do the same if the surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted. The passage is mainly about ______. (本题分数:1 分,本题得分:1 分。)

A、 the reason for the sea cucumber'''' s name

B、 ways to identify the sea cucumber

C、 places where the sea cucumber can be found

D、 the peculiarities that make the sea cucumber unusual

38. I came across an old country guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country,

and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one'''' s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.

Nowadays a superficial traveller in rural England might conclude that the village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction (收缩) of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable.

Our local grocer''''s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing (排队) up at a supermarket. And the proprietor (店主) knows well that personal service has a substantial cash value.

His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling on the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner (领养老金) who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.

The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce. The writer implies that one disadvantage of town shops is that __. (本题分数:1 分,本题得分:0 分。)

A、 their prices are higher

41. A man walked into a restaurant that advertised having the longest menu in the world. The manager was very proud of being

able to provide any dish, no matter how unusual.

At the bottom of the menu, there was a notice that said, “If you do not see the dish you require on this menu, please tell us and we will add it to the menu immediately.”

The man looked at the menu and decided to make life really difficult for the manager and his chef. He would order something that was very unusual.

“Very well,” the man said. “In that case, bring me two elephant ears on toast. Indian, not African.”

“Very good, sir”, he said. “That shouldn''''t take long. ”

1.

Beldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart. Both towns have many hotels. And in the summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists (游客).

Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. Next day, this news appeared on page two of the town''s newspaper. The Beldon Post.

FIRE AT SEABREEZE

LATE LAST NIGTH FIREMEN HURRIED TO THE Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small

fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our

visitors, "Please don''t smoke cigarettes in bed." This was Beldon''s first hotel fire for five years. ! "'' The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one:

AOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE

Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture (家具) at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, "An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp." We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.

What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel 1 st August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes——we know that firemen went to the hotel.Now what do you think of the rest the "news"? (本题分数:10 分,本题得分:0 分。)

2. Many chemical pesticides(杀虫剂), such as DDT, are more dangerous to other animals than to the pests(害虫) themselves.

However, there are safer methods used to control pests. One method is called biological pest control. It uses living things to control pest populations. For example, one type of biological pest control uses the natural enemy of a pest.

The natural enemy eats the pest, or stops it from reproducing. For instance, aphids(蚜虫)that eat leaves are controlled using ladybird beetles(瓢虫).The ladybird beetle reduces aphids populations by eating the pest. Many natural chemicals from plants and animals are excellent pesticides. Some plants contain chemicals that taste bad, smell bad, or are even poisonous to pests. Scientists can collect these chemicals and spray them on other plants. Some pests produce their own chemicals that can also be used to control them. Many female insects give off chemicals to attract male. Scientists collect the chemical and use it to lure male insects. By killing male insects we may have fewer young insects. Pest

第2次作业 一、阅读理解(本大题共100分,共5小题,每小题20分) 1. There is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it, but because of influential friends or the right background. Sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive. I once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and experience, she should have been promoted to Production Manager. Instead, the job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. Everyone knew that he only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors. This injustice demoralized the young engineer and many of her col leagues. Tt al so meant that the factory was much 1 ess efficient than i t could have been. All the same, we should not be pessimistic. More and more, the modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their face fits. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine, which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped it, once. The machine started up immediately. When he presented his bill, the owner protested, "This can't be right! $100 just for tapping a machine with a hammer?z,The engineer wrote out a new bill: 〃For tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap it, $99.〃 (1). It is believed that some people have succeeded in life because? A. they feel superior to others B. they are both influential and powerful c. they have some special advantages D.

My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.” Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, madam,”he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .” The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?” “Yes,”she answered. “The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!” “ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----” “ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother. “ I remember your ticket, madam,”he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?” “Er, well-----”The woman looked at the child. “I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet.
