AGrand OpeningBentwood Truck MuseumSaturday, November 8, at 10:00 A. M.After eighteen months of hard work by more than 100 volunteers, the Bent wood Truck Museum is ready to open. The old factory on the corner of Palmer Street and Norman Drive had been scheduled to be destroyed. When Roger Haygood heard about the plans to tear down the building, he bought it so that he could store his collection of old trucks there. Then he had the idea of turning the building into a truck museum.During the past year and a half, the old building has been transformed into a treasure chest of memories. Instead of a dark and dull house, the building has become a cheery, bright home for all kinds of trucks from the past.The museum now houses 68 trucks, and we hope to have even more soon. There is a 1959 school bus, a 1942 bakery truck, and a 1937 fire engine. Our oldest vehicle is a 1919 milk truck. Our newest vehicle is a 1966 tow truck.You can take a ride on a fire truck, a mail truck, or an ice – cream truck. Rides are $ 2.00, but you can get a ticket for a free ride at any grocery store in Bentwood.Help us celebrate our grand opening by bringing your family and friends! There is something to interest everyone who attends. The Bentwood Truck Museum is a special piece of our history.·To get to Bentwood Truck Museum, take Route 29 (Kingston Highway) to Palmer Street.·Go south on Palmer Street for one block and take a left onto Norman Drive.·You will see the museum building and the amusement park on your left.·Parking is available across the street, on your right.56．In which of the following can visitors take a ride?A．A milk truck. B．An ice – cream truck.C．A bakery truck. D．A school bus.57．What is special about this museum?A．It is built on the ruins of an old building.B．It offers visitors free rides to the museum.C．It exhibits trucks dating back to 100 years ago.D．It‟s transformed from an old factory by volunteers.58．What‟s the purpose of writing this passage?A．To introduce the old history of Bentwood Truck Museum.B．To persuade readers to attend the opening of the museum.C．To explain why Bentwood Truck Museum was set up.D．To call on the visitors to take a ride in old trucks.BOne of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one‟s mistakes. It is extremely ha rd sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that, ”and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that. ”I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons （箱子）. Then he related an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing.I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work.The Manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting （examining）some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the criminal. He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, obviously the manager did not.59. The author was ______ when he wrote this article.A. about 8B. about 18C. about 23D. about 1560. Who was to blame for knocking off the stacks of cartons?A. The author.B. The manager.C. The woman.D. The author‟s mother.61. When the manager scolded him the author _______.A. was frightened and criedB. tried to explainC. did not say anythingD. felt the manager was right62. It can be inferred that the author _______.A. regrets arguing with the manager for what he didn‟t doB. would like to tell people never to be fooled by an egg saleC. has forgiven the manager for what he did to him fifteen years agoD. expects the woman to say sorry to him for the mistake she madeCThe first thing I do when I wake up is to make a mental list of all things I have to do that day. I‟m very organized! Then I get up and have my bath. Often my best matchmaking ideas come while I‟m in the bath. Sometimes I have a really good idea about who might be with whom.Before I did matchmaking, I was a social worker, but I knew I wanted to do something without bosses telling me what to do and that I am good at dealing with people. Also I had seen too many broken marriages and too many people go downhill because they were so lonely. So I gave up my job, did a bit of research and started the matchmaking business in 1970.Over the last few years we‟ve been doing introductions throughout Europe as well as here in Britain. Europeans want to meet British people. For every 100 people who come to us, about 65 will settle down. We keep going until clients (委托人) find someone that they get on very well with. Of course there are impossible people, those who will never settle.Sometimes I end up giving advice to clients. A few months ago, we had a highly paid scientist with a very nice face, but every woman refused to meet him a second time. It soon became clear that he did not like changing his shirts. So I had to be very honest and direct and told him, “But a woman can‟t start to love you if your shirt smells.” The job is most satisfying when I get a call from a couple telling me they have fallen in love.63. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. On Being a MatchmakerB. Dealing with PeopleC. Matchmakers and ClientsD. The Most Satisfying Job64. What does the author mean by saying “I‟m very organized”?A. She is especially good at organizing things.B. She has a fixed plan for her everyday activities.C. She likes to remember things she has to do.D. She always finishes what she does on time.65. What was the personal factor that made the author change her job?A. She was warm and kind-hearted.B. She could understand people better than others.C. She liked to make her own decisions.D. She was interested in social problems.66. From the author‟s experience given in the last paragraph, we can conclude that to be a good matchmaker, sometimes it is better for one to be ____.A. straightB. kindC. hard workingD. organizedDEvery pet owner loves his pet. There is no argument here.But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals, the responses were split almost down the middle. Of the 228 readers who answered it, 108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion.Clearly, from readers‟ response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people‟s widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure.Most of the respondents who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope a clone could never truly recreate a pet, many simply didn‟t wish to go against the natural law of life and death.Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More than a few respondents owned “the best dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend”, “a member of the family,” “the light of my life.” They told moving stories of pets‟ heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.Little wonders the loss is so disturbing---and the cloning so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says G ary Kowalski, author of Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet.“For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death away…It‟s understandable. Death is always painful. It‟s difficult to deal with. It‟s hard to accept.”But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seemed to be at the heart of this problem.67.So far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, ____.A. a lot more of them are for itB. a lot more of them are against itC. very few of them are willing to tell their opinionsD. about half of them are for it and the other half against it68. While talking about the respondents from the readers, the expression “eventual sadness of owning a pet” refers to ____.A. the d eath of one‟s petB. the high cost of owning a petC. the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a petD. the dangers involved in the cloning of a pet69. From what Gary Kowalski says, we can know that he ____.A. has never thought about the problem of cloningB. is going to write another book on petsC. is in favor of the idea of cloning petsD. is all against the cloning of pets70. What is the key question at the heart of the problem of cloning pets?A. Can cloning make the pain one suffers less when a pet dies?B. Can pet owners afford the cost of cloning?C. Does cloning go against the law of nature?D. How reliably does cloning produce an exact copy of one‟s pet?E_______71_______. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish.But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of a London, from the smallest lane(小巷) to the most popular bar around. _________72________A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows.During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshments. He said. “I never drink when I‟m working ---- I wou ld lose my licence.”He normally goes home between 2 and 3 O‟clock in the night._________73__________ He said, “That‟s the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don‟t make the money, no one is going to give it to you.”_______74_____________. Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea--- by taxi! Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers, and these fares all go to the …London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged Children.‟ ________75________ Also a lunch party is held there in honour of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market, the children go home again-- by taxi, and free of charge, of course!A. There are always complains about taxi drivers bad service.B. Driving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun.C. Recently the working conditions for taxi drivers have greatly improved.D.

Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.9.In which year did t he author first live in a place with an air conditioner?A. 1952B. 1972C. 1962D. 198210. What does the underlined word “It”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The Man Who Shot Liberty ValanceB. The theater.C. The Music ManD. The heat11.What do we know about Mr. Bellow?A. He loved children very much.B. He was a movie star.C. He sold air conditioners.D. He was a fan of John Wayne.12.Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times?A. The two movies were really wonderful.B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside.C. The manager of the theater was friendly.D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.DEddie liked music very much when he was at school, but when he went to the university he decided to study medicine instead of music. When he passed his examinations and became a doctor, he had to work in a hospital for some time. There he discovered that a lot of patients were happier and caused less trouble if pleasant music was played to them When Eddie got an office and began to work for himself, he decided to keep his patients happy by having a tape recorder in his waiting-room play beautiful music for them.But soon after the tape recorder had been put in, Eddie’s nurse heard a woman, who was sitting in the crowded waiting-room one morning, complained, “Here we’re all waiting to see the doctor, and he’s just playing the violin in his office instead of doing his work.”13．Eddie became a student of medicine at university__________.A．because he had lost interest in musicB．because he thought medicine was more important than musicC．to find out new use of music in hospitalD．for reasons unknown from this passage14．Why did Eddie put a tape recorder in his office?A．He wanted to help patients waiting to see him pass the time easily.B．He discovered that music was of help to his patientsC．He enjoyed listening to music while he workedD．He wanted to attract more patients to his office15．From the passage we can see that__________.A．the woman thought Eddie was an unusual doctorB．the woman didn’t understand musicC．the woman did not understand what Eddie meantD．the woman hated to be kept waiting第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

（共 15 小题；每题 2 分，满分30 分）AWhen Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter ( 炼铜厂 ), and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what usedto be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened insidehim.Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. Heasked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back.The answer from that big industry was“ No” .Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, histeachers said there weren’ t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It wouldbe a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that, he was told. Even ifhe was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’ t get his idea accepted.Paul later got married but his dream would not die. And then one night he didwhat he could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote,“ It is commonto overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote. Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he wentsecretly into the wasteland and started planting.And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment,the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, andPaul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow (誓词) he made to himself as a child.1.When Paul was a boy, _______.A.he had decided never to leave his hometownB.the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelterC.he hit a young visitor because of his comments on the wastelandD.he stopped the copper smelter polluting the area2.Paul went to college to study the science of plants, because _______.A.he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himselfB.he was interested in planting trees since he was youngC.he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help himD.he thought his knowledge would make his advice more convincing3. What does the underlined phrase“ the plain common sense” probably mean?A. It was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.B. His normal work and life would be greatly affected.C. No one would like to join him in the efforts.D. He had to keep everything he did secret.BPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTSBig sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double roomat the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19Oct.) cost￡169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost￡118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking fora big event to pass your time —check out sites such as , which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AWAYFROMTHE STATION If traveling to your destination by train,you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying morefor the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months inadvance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London forSaturday 22 September was￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its CoventGarden hotel was￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just￡62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELFReally central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburghand Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. Asan alternative consider checking into a self － catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. Agreat example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, availablefor ￡ 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKELondon's“ Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, butother cities also have similar programs that let you rent a bicycle and exploreat your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle(casual pay around￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, orper day)．members￡ 54.

However, aconstant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friendswith other people. How can we believe that others could like us if we believe ourinner being is flawed?If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. The person who doesn’ t like you might be fearful, or shallowor busy or shy. Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for eachother at this particular time.Don’ t take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are biggerthan your good qualities. In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to beflaws may be irresistible to someone else. Although some factors might cause oneperson to reject you, there are at least many factors that will work in your favor.You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. There are many people who don’ t mind your extra pounds. You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and aloyal friend. There are people out there looking for loyalty,or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. If you are worried thatyou are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyoneis lookingfor physical beauty in their friends.
