    -- How could you ________ my sister so easily in the crowd?

    -- Because she stood out in her red dress.

          A. pick up             B. pick out                   C. take up                     D. take out

    B

    解析：根据后面的“穿着红色的衣服很显眼”来判断，上句需要表达的意思是“是怎么辨认出来的”，所以选pick out，意为“挑选出；辨认出”。pick up意为“捡起；得到”；take up意为“拿起；占据”；take out意为“拿出；取出”。

    Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me ￡12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office . “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12.”

           Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”

           The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”

           “Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”

           “That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet .Of course, she’s only three…”

           “I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.”

           Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”

           “Er, well—” the woman looked at the child. “I mean… she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”

           “A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs …let me see…￡13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe ￡1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”

           The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.

           C．the Jersey timetable was wrong      D．the little girl didn’t have a return ticket

           D．when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl

    When Harry said, “The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…” he meant that        .

    A．they must follow it without other choice ,even though the fault was his

    Dear Ms Profit,

    Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some   50   materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to   51   your story soon.

    Shocked, it took me a long time to   52  . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine.

    Peanuts to This

    Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes． Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher． Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself． “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”

    Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task． This was the first real talk I received in my new school． It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington． Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before． As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America． I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant． I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip （掷） a coin． Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy． Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver．

    Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost． Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong． As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution．” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?

    Obviously, my grade was awful． Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around． I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade． I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance． Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year． Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation． I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade． Justice is sweet!

    1.What did the author’s classmates think about his report?

    A．Controversial．

    B．Ridiculous．

    C．Boring．

    D．Puzzling．

    2.Why was the author confused about the task?

    A．He was unfamiliar with American history．

    B．He followed the advice and flipped a coin．

    C．He forgot his teacher’s instruction．

    D．He was new at the school．

    3.The underlined word “burning” in Para． 3 probably means _______．

    A．annoyed

    B．ashamed

    C．ready

    D．eager

    4.In the end, the author turned things around _______．

    A．by redoing his task

    B．through his own efforts

    C．with the help of his grandfather

    D．under the guidance of his headmaster
