7．A drunken burglar in the Orrell Park area of Liverpool，ended up leaping out of a window after a 10-year-old girl asked him to prove he was a superhero．
The drunken thief who pretended he was Superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced．
Thief Ethan Adamson，25，told police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking party，believing it was empty．
But he was horrified when the owner's 10-year-old daughter woke up while he was there．
From his hospital bed，the thief told reporters，"To keep her quiet，I told her I was really Superman and I'd soon be flying off back to my secret headquarters．"
"She called my bluff （向…摊牌） and told me，‘If you're Superman，show me you can fly or I'll scream'．
"I had no choice so I stripped to my pants to look more like a superhero and went to the window．I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it but it turned out to be a lot further down than thought．I know it doesn't make sense but it did to me when I was drunk．"
Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants，covered in cuts and bruises（淤青） after a neighbor heard his cries of pain．
He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary．
Police spokesman Frank Armado said，"He was in quite a serious state and couldn't move until we got up there using ladders．He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes，before taking him to hospital where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested．"
29．What does the underlined part in the passage mean？A
A．I could land safely on the roof．
B．I could make the girl trust me．
C．I could prove I was a superhero．
D．I could make a successful escape．
30．What's the right order of the event？C
a．Ethan Adamson told reporters of the burglary．
b．The 10-year-old girl called Ethan Adamson's bluff．
c．Ethan Adamson attended a drinking party．
d．Ethan Adamson leapt out of a window．
A．cabd
B．dbca
C．cbda
D．dcab
31．What is the author's purpose of writing the passage？A
A．To report on a joking burglary．
B．To call our attention to the burglary．
C．To explain how the burglar was caught．
D．To look back on an adventure story．

分析本文写了一个聪明的小女孩智捉小偷的故事．

解答 29．A词义猜测题．根据前面的内容可知这个喝醉了的小偷假装超人想欺骗小女孩，结果小女孩让他像超人一样飞，否则就报警，所以他只能真的假装超人飞一下，根据下文I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it，他绝对不会不想摔死，想落在屋顶上，在根据make it成功，由此可知答案为A．
30．C 细节理解题．根据文章内容可知Ethan Adamson 喝了酒，假装超人欺骗女孩，假装飞了一下，进了医院被警察询问，所以答案选C．
31．A 主旨大意题．根据文章第一段和文章内容可以判断为A．

点评在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节，分析文章结构，根据上下文内在联系，挖掘文章的深层含义，对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机，事件中的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析，进一步增强理解能力，抓住材料实质性的东西．

17．In the US and Britain，the slogan around colleges was"Save water．Shower with a friend．"Now，Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse．It charges students for the amount of time in a shower．Before entering the bathhouse，students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card．The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on．It pauses when a button is pressed for soap．An integrated circuit （IC） card reader at each tap shows the time．No money，no water．The benefits of the new system
can be seen with the old system which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower．The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system，but only 160 tons now．
     Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided．Some students say it is uncomfortable，because bathing had become a sort of race．Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower．Some might be embarrassed if their time is UP and they're still covered in soap．They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time．
"It's a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card，"said Ren，a freshman．The University is also considering some student's suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they've finished the shower．Not surprisingly，some are complaining about losing the hour shower．But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense．
     Without the time limit，most students tended to shower for half to an hour in the bathhouse．
     Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes．"In my experience，10-20 minutes is enough，"said Dai Zhihua，a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes．
     A similar system has been installed in other universities．Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September．The bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute．One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower．

41．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true？A
    A．A student has to pay when a bath is over．
    B．The clock keeps timing except the pause for soap．
    C．If money runs out，there will be no water．
    D．Students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower．
42．The author's attitude toward the new bathhouse System in Wuhan University isD
    A．critical          B．serious       C．appreciative       D．not mentioned
43，Since the new system was performed，Cof water has been saved．
    A．a quarter       B．one third      C．one half         D．two thirds
44．It can be inferred from the passage thatB
    A．the new operation can solve the problem of water crisis
   B．the new operation can raise students'environmental awareness
    C．a similar operation will be set in other universities
    D．Most students spend less than half an hour showering in the bathroom．
45．In which column can you find this passage？C
    A．People．   B．Society    C．Campus Life     D．Lifestyle．

19．About 30years ago，I left Cuba for the United States with my son．After getting settled finally in Brunswick，New Jersey，I enrolled（注册） my son in kindergarten．Several weeks later，my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office．
In the teacher's office，and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions："Is your son mentally retarded（弱智的）？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？"
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola？NO，no，it can't be．What a helpless，lonely moment!I told him that Scola was a quiet，sweet little boy，instead．I asked him why he was asking me all these questions．
My son could not follow the teacher's directions，he told me，and thus，Scola was disrupting the class．Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet？
He was angry；"Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English？Don't you speak English at home？"
No，I didn't speak English at home，I replied．I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months，and I didn't want him to forget his native language．Well，wrong answer!What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time？"Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country，never wanting to be a part of this society？"
Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of"those people．"Then he told me the meeting was over，and I left．
As I had expected，my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over．He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures．He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted，contented life．And he has benefited from being bilingual（双语的）．
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others； it teaches people about other cultures and other places-something very basic and obviously lacking in the"educator"I met in New Jersey．
32．The teacher asked the author to his officeA．
A．to discuss Scola's in-class performance
B．to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten
C．to find a language partner for Scola
D．to work out a study plan for Scola

D．passive
35．This text is likely to be selected from a book ofB．
A．medicine

17．Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20^th century．Besides his famous stories，he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people．
Born in 1881to a wealthy family，Lu Xun had a happy childhood．In 1893，however，his grandfather，a senior government official，was put into prison for taking money．At the same time，his father became seriously ill．From that time on，his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends．These early experiences greatly influenced his writing．
By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899，he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern．In 1902he went to study in Japan．There，he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines．He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books，although none was popular．He returned to China in 1909because he was in need of money．

Although successful，Lu Xun still worried greatly about China's future．In 1926，he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called"pen warfare"．He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government．For this，the government stopped him from publishing any more books．He was forced to write his articles using false names．
Since his death in 1936，Lu Xun's importance and influence have grown．Today，many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world．
