I have just returned from a visit to my landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. I am delighted with the house I am renting from him, which suits me perfectly.
Mr. Heathcliff is my only neighbour, and I think his character is similar to mine. He does not like people either.
When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned, and did not encourage me to enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in.
“Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant. He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse. “God help us! A visitor!” he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were no other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Heathcliff hardly ever received guests.
His house is called Wuthering Heights. The name means “a windswept house on a hill”, and it is a very good description. The trees around the house are bent by the north wind, which blows fiercely every day of the year. Fortunately, the house is strongly built, and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms.
Mr. Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room. We sat down by the fire, in silence.
“Joseph!” shouted Mr. Heathcliff. No answer came from the cellar, so he dived down there, leaving me alone with several rather fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly one of them jumped angrily up at me, and in a moment all the others were attacking me.
“Help! Mr. Heathcliff! Help!” I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but luckily a woman, who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room to calm the dogs.
“What is the matter?” Mr. Heathcliff asked me rudely, as he finally entered the room, accompanied by his man-servant.
“Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “You shouldn’t leave a stranger with them. They’re dangerous.”
“Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel offended after this, and accepted the wine. We sat drinking and talking together for a while. I suggested visiting him tomorrow. He did not seem eager to see me again, but I shall go anyway. He seems a fascinating man.
1.In which order should the following events be arranged?
a. Mr. Lockwood introduced himself to his landlord.
b. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat drinking and talking together.
c. Mr. Heathcliff invited Mr. Lockwood into the house.
d. Mr. Lockwood was attacked by some dogs.
e. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat down by the fire, in silence.
f. Mr. Heathcliff appeared in the main room with Joseph.
A. a, c, f, b, d, e. B. c, a, b, e, d, f.
C. a, c, e, d, f, b. D. c, a, f, e, d, b.
2.Why did Joseph say “God help us! A visitor!” when he met Mr. Lockwood?
A. He was very shocked to have a visitor.
B. He thought Mr. Lockwood was a new servant.
C. He had waited for Mr. Lockwood for a long time.
D. He was happy his prayer for guests was answered.
3.Why is the house called “Wuthering Heights”?
A. It is struck by strong winds all the year round.
B. It is protected well by the trees surrounding it.
C. The trees around it are bent by the north wind.
D. It is specially designed to resist strong winds.
4.What was the writer’s impression of Mr. Heathcliff?
A. He was rich but foolish. B. He was rude but interesting.
C. He was handsome but boring. D. He was strange but friendly.

Retired nurse Sue Collins was just beginning the second length of her local pool when her morning swim suddenly became anything but a pleasure.
Two months ago Sue, 69, who has never suffered from asthma or any other breathing problem in the past, suddenly found herself hard for breath.
“I felt as if my throat and oesophagus (食道) were closing up,” says Sue.
Sue is convinced the problem is related to the indoor swimming baths. “I spend half the year in Turkey and swim every day outside in a pool or the sea there and never have this problem,” she says.
She may be right, because although a trip to the pool is the perfect exercise for many, the chlorine (氯气) used to keep the water free from germs can lead to problems.
But in most cases it’s not the chlorine that causes problems, but the by-products formed when chlorine interacts with other substances — and this is mostly due to people not showering before they enter the pool.
“This then poisons the water for them and for others,” says Dr. Hull. “The chlorine interacts with sweat and urine(尿素) on the skin and forms by-products called chloramines that float above the surface as a gaseous solution that can be inhaled in.”
Chloramines are heavier than air so hang over the water where they are easily breathed in. Some believe they may cause lung disorders. A Swedish study in 2013 examining the health of 146 workers at 46 indoor pools found that 17 per cent had airway trouble at work — but no problems at home.
As Dr. Hull says: ‘People need to remember that showering isn’t just for them. It is for the greater good.’
1.Where did Sue suddenly suffer from asthma?
A. In an outdoor swimming pool. B. In the sea.
C. In an indoor swimming pool. D. At home.
2.Why should we put chlorine into the water of the pool?
A. To keep the water warm. B. To kill the germs in the water.
C. To make the people easy to breathe. D. To stop the possibility of asthma.
3.Taking a shower before swimming in the pool is to ________.
A. stop the interaction between the chlorine and sweat and urine on the skin
B. make the swimmer feel comfortable
C. obey the rule of the pool
D. stop people from breathing in the chlorine
4.What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To show how to avoid asthma.
B. To explain chloramines’s usage.
C. To help people cure asthma.
D. To tell people why to take a shower before swimming in a pool.

Chinese writer Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English, European experts say.
“Hopefully, the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated,” says Michel Hockx, professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London. “Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already. Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive, with at least five of his novels made available in English over the past 20 years.”
Jonathan Ruppin, web editor of bookseller Foyles, says Mo’s win coincides with growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary writer. “We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become available,” Ruppin says. He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its century-long history.
As East-West cultural exchange has been booming, Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years. Hockx explains, “It’s mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad. At the same time, more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture .”
University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says, “The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself. People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit between China and its international counterparts — in particular,China knows incomparably more about Europe and America than the other way round— and reading Chinese literature is an effective, simple means of solving that gap.”
1.The underlined word “ignite” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A. start out B. burn up
C. set off D. appeal to
2.Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because ________.
A. Chinese writers have been writing more and more books in English
B. the Chinese language has become the most wide used language in the world
C. the Chinese government attaches great importance to literature
D. the cultural communication between China and western countries has developed
3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Chinese literature has spread with the development of China.
B. The Nobel Prize for Literature has a history of hundreds of years.
C. In the past, no Chinese writers were accepted outside China.
D. Foreigners know about China mainly by reading Mo Yan’s works.
4.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. China knows more about Europe and America than before.
B. China knows more about Europe and America than they know about China.
C. China, Europe and America know one another more than before.
D. Compared with America, China knows more about Europe.
