    Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But many years ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, people never tried skating on wheels. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making instruments. In his free time he liked to play the violin. Merlin was a man with many ideas and many dreams. People called him a dreamer.
    One day Merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think. He wanted to find a way to make a wonderful entrance at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would attract a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
    Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud of them. He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised.
    On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skating. He rolled on, playing the violin. Then, with all eyes on him, Merlin hit into a huge mirror on the wall. The mirror broke into many pieces with a very loud noise.

    Bertie knew there was something in the wind．His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.”
    His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?”
    “I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.
    “No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “People will come to see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.
    Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he slipped downstairs, took down his father’s hunting rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come.
    “Be wild now,” he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you. I promise I will.” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down the hill and walked away.
    When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.
    There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head

    For eighty four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish. At first a young boy, Manolin, had shared his bad fortune, but after the fortieth luckless day the boy’s father told his son to go in another boat. From that time on, Santiago worked alone. The boy loved the old fisherman and  always helped him with money and food. Usually, they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or about American baseball after supper, while at night, alone in his cottage, Santiago dreamed of lions on the beaches of Africa, where he had gone years before. He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.
    On the eighty-fifth day, Santiago set off to fish before dawn. Two of his baits(饵) were fresh tunas(金枪鱼) the boy had given him, as well as sardines(沙丁鱼) to cover his hooks. Then he set his lines which went straight down into deep dark water.
    As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore. A bird showed him where dolphin were chasing some flying fish. This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight. A small one took the hook on his line. Pulling the fish aboard, the old man thought it a good fortune.
    Toward noon a marlin, a common fish in the sea, started eating the bait which was one hundred meters down. Gently the old man played the fish, a big one, as he knew from the weight on the line. At last he struck to settle the hook. The fish did not come out of the surface. Instead, it began to pull the boat to the northwest. The old man followed it. Although he was alone and no longer strong, he had his skill and knew many tricks. He waited patiently for the fish to be tired .
    It was cold after the sunset. When something took one of his remaining baits, he cut the line with his knife. Once the marlin leaned suddenly, pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek. By dawn his left hand was cramped(抽筋的). The fish had headed northward; there was no land in sight. Hungry, he cut pieces from the tuna and chewed them slowly.
    That morning the fish jumped. Seeing it, Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had ever seen. Then the fish went down and turned toward the east. Santiago drank a little water from the bottle during the hot afternoon.
    Close to nightfall a dolphin took the small hook he had rebaited. He lifted it aboard, careful. After he had rested, he cut meat from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he found in its stomach. That night he slept. He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped. Feeding line slowly, he tried to tire the marlin. After the fish slowed its run, he washed his cut hands in sea water and ate one of the flying fish. At sunrise the marlin began to circle. Faint, he worked to bring the big fish nearer with each turn. Almost exhausted, he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon(鱼叉). The fish was two feet longer than the boat. No fish like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor.
    An hour later, he sighted the first shark, a fierce Mako, and it came in fast to chase after the dead marlin. The old man struck the shark with his harpoon. The Mako rolled and sank, carrying the harpoon with it and leaving the marlin bloody. He knew the smell would spread. Watching, he saw two sharks closing in. He struck at one with his knife and watched it sliding down into deep water. The other he killed while it tore at the flesh of the marlin. When the third appeared, he thrust(刺) it with the knife. The other sharks came at sunset. At first he tried to beat them with the tiller(舵柄) from the boat, but his hands were bleeding and there were too many in the sea. In the darkness, as he steered toward the harbor of Havana, he heard them hitting the boat again and again. But the old man thought only of his steering and his great tiredness. He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him. He knew they would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of the big marlin.
    All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his boat. He could just make out the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish. Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently until he could gather his strength to go on. In his cottage he fell on his bed and went to sleep.

    Angus MacLeod was fifty and he had spent his entire life as a shepherd in the remote mountainous region of northwest Scotland. He had never owned a radio or television nor had he travelled further than forty kilometres from his birthplace. His knowledge of the world was gained only from his brief trips to the village to sell his sheep and buy food. However, he had lately come to rely on the growing number of hill-walkers in the region as sources of international news.
    In the spring of 1992, a Spanish student came across Angus high in the mountains. Eager to practise his English he engaged Angus in conversation. The student told Angus of the forthcoming Olympic Games in Barcelona. Excited by the student's colourful description of Spain and the Games, Angus decided to attend the event in person and two months later arrived in Barcelona.
    The ticketless Angus stood outside the stadium with his canny brain working overtime, watching a growing number of individuals entering the stadium through a small entrance at the side. He noticed that they all seemed to be carrying objects. Perhaps they were workmen, he thought. He moved closer and watched.
    Within minutes a thin young man came along carrying an extremely long pole. He approached the official at the door and said "Pole Vault". The official moved to the side and the man entered. Next came a heavy-set man with a spear. Angus wondered how a man could carry such a dangerous weapon in a modern city. The man shouted " Javelin " and was presently admitted. Angus was puzzled. Perhaps they were all connected with security. His puzzlement grew when a huge man appeared with a steel ball in his hand. He shouted "Shot Putt" and walked past the official.
    It suddenly dawned on Angus that these people were competitors. He opened his programme and sure enough under the heading "events" he saw the three words the men had said. Angus laughed to himself as a plan began to take shape in his mind. First he needed to buy one or two things.
    An hour later he reappeared dressed in a tracksuit with "Scotland" written across the chest. Over his shoulder he carried a roll of barbed wire (铁丝网). Smiling to himself he walked up to the official and as casually as he could, shouted, "Fencing!"

    1. 1.

      Which was Angus' new way of getting information about the outside world?

      1. A.

        Going to the nearby village to sell sheep.      
      4. D.
        Talking to hill-walkers in the region.



    2. 2.

      What are "Javelin" , "Pole Vault", "Shot Putt" and "Fencing" in the passage?

      1. A.
        Olympic events.                    
      2. B.
        Names of competitors.
      3. C.
        Security weapons.                  
      4. D.
        Names of countries.
    3. 3.

        more and more people went to Scotland to practise their English
      2. B.
        the Spanish student's description of his country excited Angus
      3. C.
        Angus had been planning a trip to Barcelona to see the Olympic Games
      4. D.
        Angus became a member of the Scottish Olympic team
    4. 4.

      From the passage we know that Angus seemed to be

      1. A.
        poorly-informed            
      2. B.
        intelligent        
      3. C.
        strong-minded  
      4. D.
        athletic



    5. 5.

      What do you expect the official would do in the end?

      1. A.
        Help him carry the wire.               
      2. B.
        Refuse to let him in.

    阅读理解。

         Hans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. Living alone, every day he worked
    in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. All sorts of flowers grew there,
    blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flower's place, so that
    there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell.
         Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller. So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans
    that he'd never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or
    filling his pockets with fruits. The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled,
    feeling proud of having such a friend.
         The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had
    hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and
    nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true
    friendship.
         In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or
    flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see
    him then.
         "There's no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts." The Miller said to his wife, "When
    people are in trouble they shouldn't be bothered. So I'll wait till the spring comes when he's happy to give me flowers."
         "You're certainly very thoughtful," answered his wife, "It's quite a treat to hear you talk abou
    t friendship."
         "Couldn't we ask Hans up here?" said their son. "I'll give him half my meal, and show him my white
    rabbits."
         "How silly you are!" cried the Miller. "I really don't know what's the use of sending you to school. If
    Hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious,
    and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybody's nature. I am his best friend, and I'll always
    watch over him, and see that he's not led into any temptation. Besides, if Hans came here, he might ask
    me for some flour. Flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldn't be confused. The
    words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things. Everybody can see that." He looked seriously
    at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into
    his tears.
         Spring coming, the Miller went down to see Hans. Again he talked about friendship. "Hans, friendship
    never forgets. I'm afraid you don't understand the poetry of life. See, how lovely your roses are!"
         Hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard
    time of the winter.
         "I'll give you many good things. I think being generous is the base of friendship." said the Miller. "And
    now, as I'll give you many good things, I'm sure you'd like to give me some flowers in return. Here's the
    basket, and fill it quite full."
         Poor Hans was afraid to say anything. He ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the Miller's
    basket, imagining the many good things promised by the Miller.
        The next day he heard the Miller calling: "Hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to
    market?"
         "I'm sorry, but I am really very busy today."
         "Well," said the Miller, "considering that I'm going to give you my things, it's rather unfriendly of you
    to refuse. Upon my word, you mustn't mind my speaking quite plainly to you."
         Poor Hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry
    and wasted.
         One evening Hans was sitting by fire when the Miller came.
         "Hans," cried the Miller, "My little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and I'm going for the
    Doctor. But he lives so far away, and it's such a bad windy night. It has just occurred to me that you can
    go instead of me. You know I'm going to give you my good things, so you should do something for me
    in return."
         "Certainly," cried Hans. He struggled into the stormy night, and got the doctor to ride a horse to the
    Miller's house in time to save the boy. However, Hans got lost in the darkness, and wandered off into a
    deep pool, drowned.
         At Hans' funeral, the Miller said, "I was his best friend. I should walk at the head of the procession."
    Every now and then he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.

    1. From the passage, we can learn that Hans ___________. 
    A. was extremely wise and noble        
    B. was highly valued by the Miller

    B. "Interest is permanent while friendship is flexible."
    C. "I'm afraid you don't understand the poetry of life."
    D. "I think being generous is the base of friendship."
    3. From the Miller's talk at home, we can see he was _________. 
    A. serious but kind                  
    B. helpful and generous
    C. caring but strict                  
    D. selfish and cold-hearted
    4. What's the main cause of Hans' tragedy?

    B. A lack of formal education. 
    C. A sudden change of weather.        
    D. Blind devotion to a friend.

    A. entertain the readers with an incredible joking tale
    B. show the friendship between Hans and the Miller
    C. warn the readers about the danger of a false friend
