But, in the wood there were lots of rabbits and birds that were good to eat, and Ben was determined to take the risk. Suddenly he saw the owner, with a group of friends, coming towards him in the wood. There was a lot of anger on the rich mans face as he saw the gun in Bens hands. Bens heart sank with fear, but he saw there was no hope of escape, so he walked boldly up to these people and said to the gentleman, “Good morning, sir, and what has brought you out so early this morning?” The rich man, rather surprised, said he and his friends were taking a little exercise to get an appetite for breakfast. Then, looking at Ben with suspicion, he said, “But why are you so early in the morning?” “Well, sir,” said Ben, “I just come out to see if I could get a breakfast for my appetite.” The whole crowd burst into laughter at Bens ready wit, and with a smile the rich man walked on, leaving Ben to try his luck with the rabbits.11.

My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three oclock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day. Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldnt speak a word of English, I couldnt tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didnt understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try. When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldnt sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English. 21.

Soon after she got to Hong Kong, she went shopping along Nathan Road. Suddenly a man came up to her and said, “Hello, there, I havent seen you for a long time.” The stranger continued talking to her for a while and then took out a small box from his pocket. “Would you like to buy some diamonds?” he asked, opening the box to show some stones. “Im willing to sell them to you cheap only $400 for this diamond. How about it?” Miss Wang didnt want to buy the diamond because she had heard many stories of people being tricked. Also, at that moment a woman stopped and warned her, “Dont buy from him. Hes not an honest man. Hes trying to trick you!” The man raised his voice at once, “Im honest. These diamonds are real.” In the end they took one of the diamonds to a jeweler one who sells diamonds and the like. The jeweler examined the stone and told Miss Wang that it was real. He said it cost around $900. Satisfied that the diamonds were real, Miss Wang decided to buy them from the man. She chose two of the largest stones from his box and paid him $400. Then she went back to the jeweler and asked, “How much will it cost to fix these on a ring?” The jeweler examined the stones and said, “Why do you want to do that? These are just glass.” “But you told me just now they were diamonds.” “The first stone was a diamond; these are not.” Miss Wang ran out of the shop hoping to catch the stranger and get her money back.

It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reason why people keep a dog has changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks from other beasts. And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dog would not eat what was caught without permission.But now people in cities need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.31. According to the passage, in the old days people trained dogs _ .A. for protection against robberyB. just for funC. for companionshipD. for protection against other animals32. The word “companionship” in Paragraph 2 means _.A. worshipB. treasureC. friendly relationshipD. partnership33. The dogs were used for hunting because _ .A. they were good huntersB. they obeyed their mastersC. they were useful for protectionD. they did not eat other animals34. The most important reason for people to keep dogs now is that _.A. they need companionB. they like children C. they enjoy huntingD. they want to protect themselves35. We can infer (推断) from the passage that _.A. dogs can be helpful to those who need companyB. city people always feel lonelyC. dogs can be interestingD. the city can be a very dangerous place Passage 5How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the thing they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.36. The origin of language is _. A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secret C. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved37. What is true about words? A. They are used to express feelings only.B. They can not be written down. C. They are simply sounds.D. They are mysterious.38. The real power of words lies in their _. A. propertiesB. characteristicsC. peculiarityD. representative function39. By “association”, the author means _. A. a special qualityB. a joining of ideas in the mind C. an appearance which is puzzlingD. a strange feature40. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music. C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.Passage 6We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late.Why do we go wrong about our friendsor our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “youre a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “Youre a lucky guy” or “Youre a lucky gal”, thats being friendly. But “lucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture (体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking
