         Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I thought I should just go east.
         A bus stopped. I got on and asked the driver how far she was going. "Ten more miles," she said. There was another bus I could take from here. This clearly was going to be a long night.
    I got off at the end of the route and she told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus came up. There was no light number above its
    windshield  (挡风玻璃). It was out of service, but the door opened. It was the same driver. "I just can't
    leave you here," she said. "This isn't the nicest place. I will give you a ride home. "
         "You will drive me home on the bus?" I asked, astonished.
         "No, I will take you in my car, "she said.
         "It's a long way, "I insisted.
         "Come on, " she said. "I have nothing else to do. "
         As we drove from, the station in the car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother
    had run out of gas. A good man picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car.
    "I'm just passing the favour on," she said.
         When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn't accept. "Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it on. "she said.

    B. No driver would give him a ride.
    C. He didn't know the routes.
    D. He perhaps would have to take a taxi.
    2. Judging from its context, the place where the writer waited for the second bus was      . 
    A. very quiet and peaceful        
    B. dark without street lights
    C. neither clean nor beautiful      
    D. a little unsafe
    3. Why did the writer change his mind after waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the route?
    A. No bus would come at the time. 
    B. A taxi ride would be more comfortable. 
    C. He became impatient and a bit worried. 
    D. He knew the driver would never return.
    4. The bus driver drove the writer home later because      .

    第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    Struggling in the US? Move to China!
    I graduated from the university with a degree of civil engineer. It is a good field but my heart was not in it. I wanted to be an actor or work in the entertainment industry…living a creative life. My choice of civil engineering was really a mistake but I realized too late. As soon as I graduated, I move straight to Los Angeles----the home of the film and television industry!
    For three years, I tried to get a job in that field. I often worked as an extra in movies and TV shows----standing in the background while actors are in the foreground. This was fun for a while, but I wanted a real acting job, where I was speaking! Sadly, in Los Angeles, there is too much competition. Every race and age is represented: old, young, black, white, Asian, and thousands of blondish-red haired Midwestern types like me. Being an extra couldn’t make enough money for me to live in LA. I had to do something else for money.
    After three years of trying, I gave up my dream of being an actor and started a different career. I then tried network-marketing, but in the end, that failed. Seven years after graduating from college, I was still in debt, still searching for a satisfactory life. I decided to go back to civil engineering.
    However, I was starting to get very disappointed with my life. Why is life not like what I expected?
    I expected to have made a lot of money, gotten married, with a house and nice cars, kids, time freedom, etc. Millions of people lead lives with their dreams shelved, existing but not really living. I want my life to be different, more satisfactory, more alive. America was not providing that for me…
    In addition, America was too expensive----always worrying about money was a headache. I wanted a life filled with adventure, romance, friendships, successes, and dreams realized.
    …
    I decided to move to China.
    51. How can we describe the writer’s attitude toward life?
    A. Practical.                 B. Passive.                    C. Disappointed.           D. Positive.
    52. What does the underlined sentence mean?
    A. A lot of people are living but they are not enjoying their life.
    B. A lot of people are living with dreams though their life is not that enjoyable.
    C. A lot of people give up their dreams and yet are living a good life.
    D. A lot of people don’t have dreams, nor do they want to live either.
    53. What did the writer do before he finally decided to move to China?
    A. Engineerextramarketingengineer.           B. Extramarketingengineer.
    C. Engineerextramarketing .                           D. Extraengineermarketing.

    David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups.
    But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon（跟腱）which means he could be out of action for around six months. With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out.
    The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league. After attempting to kick the ball he collapsed to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered（被担架抬走）away.
    It is not yet known whether he has completely severed（切断）his Achilles tendon or only torn it. The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist.
    England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances.
    "We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement. "I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support.
    "David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow."
    Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed（共鸣）Capello's words of support:
    "It is a horrible situation for Beckham. I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team.
    David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over.
    Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world.
    Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks.
    If he could repeat the same feat，in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales.
    So, perhaps all is not lost. Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words:
    "You never want to write off（排除）David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back（恢复原状）."
    56．What is the best title of the passage?
    A．Beckham had a dream?
    B．Beckham—a great football player!
