第二篇短文后有5个正、误判断题，请选择T或F.Passage OneCommunity service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called "One On One" helps elementary students who've fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English.You'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors---he'll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offersuggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service…and you'll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you'd like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge's office this week.6．What is the purpose of the talk? ____________ BA：To explain a new requirement for graduation.B：To interest students in a new community program.C：To discuss the problems of elementary school students.D：To recruit elementary school teachers for a special program.7．What is the purpose of the program that the dean describes? __________ CA：To find jobs for graduating students.B：To help education majors prepare for final exams.C：To offer tutorials to elementary school students.D：To provide funding for a community service project.8．What does Professor Dodge do? ____________ AA：He advises students to participate in the special program.B：He teaches part-time in an elementary school.C：He observes elementary school students in the classroomD：He helps students prepare their resumes.9．What should students interested in the tutorials do? __________ DA：Contact the elementary school.B：Sign up for a special class.C：Submit a resume to the dean.D：Talk to Professor Dodge.10．Whom do you think the speaker addresses to? _________ BA：FacultyB：StudentsC：FreshmanD：Graduating students of the university.Passage TwoAll over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer.Games and sports often grow out of people's work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around theworld. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back to thousands of years ago, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.11．According to this passage we know that people began to play about one hundred years ago. FA：TB：F12．The writer didn't tell us in this passage that basketball was invented in America. TA：TB：F13．People all over the world enjoy sports because sports are interesting. FA：TB：F14．From this passage we can see that according to the author sports and games are significant to our life in many respects. TA：TB：F15．The writer's attitude towards sports is positive.

Soon she became his fiancée （未婚妻）. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancée. He had beenlooking at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him. A bright idea struck him. The manager pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the young man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said: "When the servant enters the room, he will drop it."On the birthday of his fiancée the young man was very excited.Everything happened as had been planned. The servant brought in the vase, and as he entered the room, he dropped it. There was horror on everybody's face. When the box was opened, the guests saw that each piece was packed separately.(1)、The story took place in the United States. BA：T B：F(2)、The young man's family was poor while the beautiful girl is rich, according to the passage. A A：T B：F(3)、The young man wanted to buy a present as a Christmas gift for the girl. BA：T B：F(4)、The shop manager came to talk to the young man, because he was poorly dressed. BA：T B：F(5)、On the birthday of his fiancée, the young man was excited because the girl was in love with him. BA：T B：F2、A pretty, well-dressed young lady stopped a taxi in a big square, and said to the driver, "Do you see that young man at the other side of the square?""Yes," said the taxi driver. The young man was standing outside a restaurant and looking impatiently at his watch every few seconds."Take me over there," said the young lady.There were a lot of cars and buses in the square, so the taxi driver asked, "Are you afraid to cross the street?""Oh, no!" said the young lady. "But I promised that I would meet the young man for lunch at one o' clock, and it is now a quarter to two. If I arrive in a taxi, it will at least seem as if I had tried not to be late."(6)、The story doesn't tell us how the young woman got to the square. AA：T B：F(7)、The lady stopped the taxi because she was afraid of walking across the street. BA：T B：F(8)、The young man at the other side of the square had probably been waiting for a long time. AA：T B：F(9)、The young lady was clever at making excuse. AA：T B：F(10)、The young lady was just pretending that she had tried. AA：T B：F3. Antique dealers have an "in" joke. If two of them come to a desert island, they say, at the end of the year both will claim they have made a million. It's a story which sums up "the trade". Objects, some precious, some whose only value is the old age, pass from hand to hand in search of home.Buying an antique is always an event. Collectors, bitten by the bug, develop a selective photographic memory. Point to any cherished object they own and they can tell you when they bought it, where, form whom and for how much. They may even remember what they ate for lunch that day and whether it rained.Britain is the world's biggest antique treasure store. Across the country, any day of the week, there may be several dozen auctions taking place. Even a small town will boast a couple of shops. In historic centres like Bath, the numbers may run into hundreds, not counting the stall holders packing specialists markets there, like Guinea Lane.In theory, the public's best chance of coming out ahead is in the sale rooms. They may be very famous, such as Sotheby's, Christies or Phillip's or lively provincial firms like Hobbs and Bath. Bidding is rapid and the auctioneer will try and process as many as 140 lots an hour. Given the pressure and the tensions, it's more than sensible to view the items to be sold in advance, either the previous day or before the sale begins. Then is the time to decide how far you are prepared to go and not to decide in the heat of battle.11.
