18、h a group of friends, coming towards him in the wood. There was a lot of anger on the rich man’s face as he saw the gun in Ben’s hands. Ben’s 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 w

19、hat 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.

25、ends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales（稱）. Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in hi

26、s luggage. “What’s wrong with this girl?” He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in fist. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.

32、e landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock 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 fam

33、ous 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 couldn’t speak a wor

34、d of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t 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 it

35、s 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.

41、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. “I’m willing to sell them to you cheap — only $400 for this diamond. How about it?” Miss Wang didn’

42、t 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, “Don’t buy from him. He’s not an honest man. He’s trying to trick you!” The man raised his voice at once, “I’m honest. These diamonds are real.” In the end they

43、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 hi

44、s 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

45、 not.” Miss Wang ran out of the shop hoping to catch the stranger and get her money back. However, the man was nowhere to be found. 26. Miss Wang met the man __________. A. on her way to Thailand B. on her way to Singapore C. when walking along a street in Hong Kong D. when b

49、some more diamonds C. was angry with the jeweler D. wanted to catch the stranger and get her money back Passage 4 When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in th

50、e 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 dog

51、s 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

52、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 friendshi

53、p. 31. According to the passage, in the old days people trained dogs _______ . A. for protection against robbery B. just for fun C. for companionship D. for protection against other animals 32. The word “companionship” in Paragraph 2 means _______. A. worship B. treasure C. friendly relat

54、ionship D. partnership 33. The dogs were used for hunting because ________ . A. they were good hunters B. they obeyed their masters C. they were useful for protection D. they did not eat other animals 34. The most important reason for people to keep dogs now is that _______. A. they need com

55、panion B. they like children C. they enjoy hunting D. they want to protect themselves 35. We can infer (推斷) from the passage that ________. A. dogs can be helpful to those who need company B. city people always feel lonely C. dogs can be interesting D. the city can be a very dangerous place

56、 Passage 5 How 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;

57、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 ou

58、r 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 gre

59、at 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 po

60、sition 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 past B. a matter that is hidden or secret C.

61、 a question difficult to answer D. a problem not yet solved 37. 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. properties

62、 B. characteristics C. peculiarity D. representative function 39. By “association”, the author means _______. A. a special quality B. a joining of ideas in the mind C. an appearance which is puzzling D. a strange feature 40. Which of the following statements about the

63、 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 6 We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mista

64、kes 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, it’s too late. Why do we go wrong about

65、our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “you’re a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”, that’s being frie

66、ndly. But “l(fā)ucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck. How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s 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 (體態(tài))? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinki
