Where are they taking me?” Then her 2 took over. “They’re going to throw me in the canal. It’s all happening again. History is 3 itself. They’re going to push me into the canal just like that man pushed me great-great grandmother,”thought Caterina. “Perhaps this is the canal at Saltaire or is that too much of a 4 ? Samira wouldn’t think so. Samira would say it’s my destiny.”5 . “Caterina screamed but her scream could not compete with the sound of water. Water poured down on them, but the barge didn’t sink, and then it clicked. “Now, I know what’s6 ,”Caterina thought. “It’s OK. We’re in a lock,”she thought and she breathed a sigh of7 . Then she had an idea. “I’ll count the locks. Then I’ll know where we are.”And so Caterina counted. “Five locks! There’s only one place in the whole country wit h five locks. I know where we are.”Put put put, the engine stopped and the barge came to a 8 . She heard the men tie up the barge – then footsteps as they walked away. “Are they coming back? How much time do I have to escape?” she wondered.There wa s a chain around her left leg and it was locked to the door. She couldn’t escape. Her hands were free but there was nothing she could do. Then, Caterina felt her phone in her pocket.“If only I can text Jake. I can tell him where I am. He’ll know what to do.”Quickly, she pulled the phone out of her pocket and went to messages.Just then Caterina heard a voice and fear overcame her. The barge rocked as someoneclimbed on. Caterina 9 . “I have to send it now,” she thought. Her hands 10 as she hit the send button. Hopefully Jake would understand where she was. She lay down on the floor again and shut her eyes.

The 22 , Titus Salt, wanted his workers to have better 23 conditions, so he built a whole village around his mill. At first, my parents took the train to work, but later they were given a house in the village of Saltaire, and that’s 24 I spent my teenage years.My father was an overlooker, so our house was bigger than the others. We had a living room, a kitchen and three bedrooms. We even had our own outside lavatory and a small garden. The village was surrounded by countryside and it was a short walk from the house to a canal. We were 25 .So now you know where I lived and worked, let’s 26 a few years.The year was 1869. Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian author, wrote War and Peace, the vacuum cleaner was invented and the Suez Canal was opened; and I was eighteen years old. The dust from the mill got into my 27 and I had difficulty breathing but so did all my friends. That is, my friends who were still alive-the lucky ones. Lucy died last year. She was sixteen. Katy died the year before that. She was just fourteen. So you see, I was lucky.But life wasn’t all 28 . We had fun, too. On Sundays we didn’t work. There was the occasional visit t o Brown & Muff, the department store in Bradford. Of course we didn’t buy anything. We just 29 the magical window displays of ladies’ clothes. Clothes we made th e cloth for. Clothes we couldn’t afford to wear. Then sometimes, my friend Grace and I went for a walk down by the canal.And it was one cold but sunny Sunday in December, when we overheard the conversation that changed our lives.We were sitting on the grassy canal bank when a canal barge went by. We could see the barge but nobody on the barge could see us. There was nothing unusual about the two men 30 the barge. What was unusual was that the barge stopped.21.

Reading Comprehension.（4%*15=60%）Section ADirections: Each passage is followed by questions based on its content. After reading a passage, choose the best answer to each question.AI looked through my telescope and saw Kurtz with his thin arm held up above him commandingly, his mouth moving in speech, though we could hear nothing. He fell back suddenly, and the men with the stretcher moved forward again. At the same time, I noticed that the crowds were vanishing back into the forest as quickly as they had appeared.Some of the men from headquarters were walking behind the stretcher carrying Kurtz’s guns. The manager was walking beside the stretcher, talking to him. They laid him down in one of the little cabins on the steamboat which had just enough room for the bed and two small camp stools.We had brought his correspondence, and the bed was covered with many open letters and papers. He held up one of the letters and looked straight at me, saying: “I am glad”. S omeone had obviously written to him about me. I was struck by his voice, which was serious, deep and full, while he looked so ill and incapable of more than whisper!The manager appeared in the doorway and I stepped out to where the Russian and the men from headquarters were standing. I followed the direction that they were looking in. Dark, human shapes were visible, moving around the gloomy edges of the forest.Near the river stood two bronze figures, leaning on tall spears and wearing fantastic head-dresses of spotted skins, warlike and quiet at the same time. And from right to left along the sunny bank, moved a wild and gorgeous woman.She walked in a slow and proud way, jingling with metal ornaments at each step. She held her head high; her hair was done into the shape of a helmet; she had brass leggings to her knee, brass gloves to her elbow, and dark red spots on each cheek. Around her neck were many necklaces with glass beads that shook and glittered at every step. She was savage and superb and there was something dangerous in her slow, continuous movements.She came to the side of the steamer, stood still and faced us. Her face had a mixture of sadness, fear and pain.There was a terrible silence around us.Then she turned away slowly and walked on, following the river bank, only turning once to stare at us for a moment, before she disappeared into the forest.“If she had tried to come on board,” said the Russian, “I think I would have shot her, I have been risking my life every day for the last fortnight to keep her out of the house. She got in one time and talked loudly to Kurtz for an hour, turning and pointing at me frequently. I don’t understand the dialect of this tribe. Luckily for me, Kurtz was too ill to care that day, or I think I would h ave been in trouble. I don’t understand. It’s too much for me. Ah, well, it’s all over now.”At that moment I heard Kurtz’s deep voice from the cabin.“Save me! Save the ivory, you mean. Don’t talk about saving me when I’ve had to save you! You are interr upting my plans now. Sick? Not so sick as you would like to think. Never mind. I’ll continue with my plans –I will return. I’ll show you what can be done. You with your small business ideas-you are interfering with me. I will return.”The manager came out. He took my arm and we walked to the side of the boat.31. What didn’t the narrator see through the telescope?A. Kurtz held up his thin arm.B. Kurtz said something.C. Kurtz moved forward smoothly.D. The crowds disappeared quickly.32. What can be inferred from the 2nd paragraph?A. Some of the men from headquarters talked with Kurtz while walking.B. The manager was walking beside the stretcher, taking care of Kurtz’s guns.C. Kurtz didn’t know about the narrator before they met with each other.D. Though Kurtz was very ill, his voice left a deep impression on the narrator.33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The manager stood in the doorway so that the narrator couldn’t go out.B. The narrator got lost when he moved around the gloomy edges of the forest.C. Two figures stood near the river, with many necklaces around their necks.D. The wild and gorgeous women seemed to have a rather complex emotion.34. The Russian would probably ____________ if the wild and gorgeous woman had tried tocome on board.A. have risked his life staying with herB. have killed her with his gunC. have understood the dialect of her tribeD. have taken Kurtz into a big trouble35. What can we learn about K urtz’s deep voice from the cabin?A. He wanted the manager to save him.B. He was talking to his friend.C. He promised to carry out his plan.D. He was so annoyed to be interfered byBFour days after these strange events a funeral started from Canterville Chase at about eleven o’clock at night. The hearse was pulled by eight black horses, and the lead coffin was covered by a rich purple cloth, on which the Canterville coat-of-arms was embroidered in gold. By the side of the hearse walked the servants with lighted torches, and the whole procession was wonderfully impressive. Lord Canterville was the chief mourner, and sat in the first carriage along with Virginia. Then came the United States Minister and his wife, then Washington and the three boys, and in the last carriage was Mrs Umney. They felt that as she had been frightened by the ghost for more than fifty years of her life, she had the right to see the last of him. They had dug a deep grave in the corner of the churchyard, just under the old dug a deep grave in the corner of the churchyard, just under the old yew tree, and the service was read in the most impressive manner by the Rev. Augustus Dampier. When the ceremony was over, the servants, according to an old custom kept by the Canterville family, extinguished their torches, and, as the coffin was being lowered into the grave, Virginia stepped forward and laid on it a large cross made out of white and pink almond blossoms.As she did so, the moon came out from behind a cloud, and flooded the little churchyard with its silent silver, and from a distant wood a nightingale began to sing. She thought of the ghost’s description of the Garden of Death, her eyes filled with tears, and she hardly spoke a word during the drive home.The next morning, before Lord Canterville went back to London, Mr Otis had a meeting with him on the subject of the jewels the ghost had given to Virginia. They were perfectly magnificent, especially a certain ruby necklace with an old V enetian setting. The jewels were a superb example of sixteen-century work, and their value was so great that Mr Otis was unsure about allowing his daughter to keep them.“My Lord,” he said, “I know the laws of this country and it is quite clear to m e that these jewels are, or should be, heirlooms inyour family. I would therefore ask you to take them to London with you, and to regard them simply as a part of your property which has been restored to you under strange conditions. As for my daughter, sh e is only a child, and doesn’t yet have, I am glad to say, much interest in such things. Mrs Otis has also told me that these jewels are very valuable and if offered for sale would fetch a very good price. Under these circumstances, Lord Canterville, I feel sure that you will understand how impossible it would be for me to allow them to remain in the possession of any member of my family. Perhaps I should mention that Virginia is very anxious that you should allow her to keep the box as memento of your unfortunate but misguided ancestor. As it is extremely old, and consequently not in a very good state, you may perhaps be able to agree to her request.”Lord Canterville listened very carefully to the worthy Minister’s words, and when Mr Otis had ended, he sho ok him cordially by the hand, and said, “My dear sir, your charming little daughter did a great service to my unlucky ancestor. Sir Simon, and I and my family are indebted to her for her marvelous courage. The jewels are clearly hers, the wicked old fellow would be out his grave in a fortnight, making my life a misery. As for them being heirlooms, nothing is an heirloom that is not mentioned in a will or legal document, and the existence of these jewels has been quite unknown. I assure you I have no more claim on them than your servants, and when Miss Virginia grows up I am sure she will be pleased to have pretty things to wear. Besides, you forget, Mr Otis, you bought the furniture and the ghost when you bought Canterville Chase, and anything that belonged to the ghost passed at once into your possession. ”36.

He invited Mt Otis to buy Canterville Chase.C“This is amazing!” the police officer said, smiling broadly, as he looked at Bruno and Clara, who were sitting in front of him at the police station. “Well done! How did you manage to come up with such a brilliant idea?”“Thanks. I guess it was kind of clever.” Bruno answered, acknowledging the complimentwith a polite smile. He felt slightly embarrassed. “Believe it or not, the idea just popped into my head while I was taking a shower. I remembered I saw an advert once on the Internet for special spy-camera sunglasses. They have a tiny, hidden, built-in video recorder. Here they’re only used by detectives and law enforcement agencies, but anybody can buy them on the Internet.”When Bruno talked to Clara before his meeting with Zeca’s gang, they both agreed it would be wrong to steal the exams, and help Zeca sell them to other people. But Bruno had worked out an ingenious plan to double-cross Zeca and stay out of trouble himself.First of all, he had wisely agreed to go along with Zeca’s plan, and go to the meeting with the gang of thieves. When he arrived at the hideout, they frisked him for hidden weapons, but no one ever imagined that Bruno was wearing sunglasses with a tiny built-in camera. Bruno had secretly videoed the entire meeting, making sure he had taken close-up shots of all the gang members. Their conversations with all the details of their plan had also been recorded.Then, as soon as he was sure that he wasn’t being followed, he phoned Clara and together they went to the police with camera and told them the whole story.“Thanks to this evidence we can finally catch Zeca and his entire gang red-handed,”the police officer continued. “But we need you and Clara to help us. It’s very important that you both continue to act as if nothing has happened. You must play along with whatever Zeca wants. We’ll be following your every move from now on. Just do everything Zeca tells you to, OK?”The police then went to the printer’s and spoke to the owner. He agreed to co-operate and they installed some hidden cameras there, too. They day of the theft they saw the thief copy the exam papers on CCTV, but they did not arrest him yet.Then they waited until Zeca made the next move.Two days later, Bruno was working as usual at the kiosk when his phone rang. It was Zeca. Zeca told him to go with Clara to an old abandoned factory several miles outside of town. The exam papers were ready. Bruno then called Clara and told her to meet him as soon as possible at the kiosk, so that they could go together. Then he phoned the police to give them the details.When Bruno and Clara arrived, all the members of the gang were already there waiting for them. They were all laughing and joking, celebrating the success of the theft. Bruno and Clara joined them and started opening the packets to have a look at the stolen exam papers.Suddenly the doors crashed open and a loud, firm voice cried out, “Police! Drop yo ur guns! Get down on your knees with your hands above your heads!”41. What can we infer from paragraph 1?A. The police officer laughed at what Bruno and Clara had done.B. The police officer suspected what Bruno and Clara had done.C. The police officer was astonished by what Bruno and Clara had done.D. The police officer acknowledged and praised what Bruno and Clara had done.42. Bruno’s idea was about _______________________.A. taking a mental showerB. using special spy-camera sunglassesC. buying a common video recorderD. depending on law enforcement agencies43. In the 3rd paragraph, the underlined phrase “double-cross” most probably means “________”.A. catch someone without letting him knowB. cheat someone by crossing the plansC. trick someone without being knownD. kill someone by doubling the crosses44. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the story?A. Bruno pretended to agree to go along with Zeca’s plan.B. Clara also went to the meeting with the gang of thieves.C. Bruno didn’t take weapons with him when he went to the hideout.D. Bruno had recorded their conversations with all the details of their plan.45.

He called the police and told them all the relative details he knew.C. He waited for all the members of the gang until they started to celebrate.D. He stole the exam papers secretly when the gang celebrated their success.。
