【题目】I was at a dinner in London given in honor of one of the most celebrated English military (军事的)men of his time. I do not want to tell you his real name and titles. I will just call him Lieutenant General Lord Arthur Scoresby.

I cannot describe my excitement when I saw this great and famous man. There he sat, the man himself, in person, all covered with medals. I could not take my eyes off him. He seemed to show the true mark of greatness. His fame had no effect on him. The hundreds of eyes watching him, the admiration of so many people, did not seem to make any difference to him.

Next to me sat a clergyman(牧师), who was an old friend of mine. He was not always a clergyman. During the first half of his life he was a teacher in the military school at Woolwich. There was a strange look in his eye as he turned to me and said in a low voice-"privately-he is a complete fool." He meant, of course, the hero of our dinner.

This came as a shock to me. I looked hard at my friend. I could not have been more surprised if he had said the same thing about Napoleon, or Socrates, or Solomon. But I was sure of two things about the clergyman. He always spoke the truth. And, his judgment of men was good. Therefore, I wanted to find out more about our hero as soon as I could.

Some days later I got a chance to talk with the clergyman, and he told me more.

1What did the author think about the clergyman's words?

A. Completely unbelievable.

B. Funny.

C. Probably true.

D. Foolish.

2What can we conclude from the passage?

A. The hero might not be a real hero.

B. The clergyman was the hero's best friend.

C. The hero was respected by all, including the clergyman.

D. The author strongly believed the hero was a great person.

3What will be talked about following the passage?

A. How the clergyman got to know the hero.

B. What really had happened to the hero.

C. The clergyman's past life.

D. The hero's struggle for success.

【答案】

1C

2A

3B

【解析】 本文主要讲述了大家包括作者都认为是一个了不起的英雄可能不是真正的英雄。

1C

推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But I was sure of two things about the clergyman. He always spoke the truth. And, his judgment of men was good.”。有两点我是清楚的:这位牧师说话句句真实可靠;而且他很有知人之明。根据句意可知,作者认为这位牧师的话可能是真的。分析选项可知C项是正确的。

2A

推理判断题。根据第二段听最后一句“"Privately – he is a complete fool." He meant, of course, the hero of our dinner.” 但却是满有把握地对我说:“私下说---他是个头号大傻瓜。”和第三段的“But I was sure of two things about the clergyman. He always spoke the truth. And, his judgment of men was good.”。有两点我是清楚的:这位牧师说话句句真实可靠;而且他很有知人之明。分析这两个可推断出的结论:可能这个英雄也许不是真英雄。可知A正确。

3B

推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some days later I got a chance to talk with the clergyman, and he told me more.” 过了些日子,机会来到了。这位牧师告诉了我很多关于这位英雄的事情。故B正确

【题目】 Limited to a narrow seat for hours with just a tiny bag of cookies and orange juice to comfort yourself, the last thing you feel like doing when you get off a plane is to wait around for your bags. The easy option when traveling has been to limit yourself to a carry-on suitcase and pray it fits in the overhead bin. Not only does it get you out of the airport faster but it's also free. Not any longer. however.

Recently, some airlines are starting to charge for carry-on bags, and travelers aren't at all happy about it Packing light might not be an option anymore when looking for tips to get the best airfare possible

Some smaller airlines such as Frontier and Spirit have always charged customers for carry-on bags, but now bigger name airlines, such as United, are starting to do it too. When you purchase a Basic Economy ticket through United you’re not allowed a full-size carry-on bag unless you’re a MileagePlus Premier member. Should you forget to check your bag before security and bring it all the way to the gate, not only will you pay the checked-bag fee, but you’ll have to pay an additional $25 gate handling charge. Not the best way to start off a trip. Don’t miss these additional things airlines don't want to tell you but every flier should be aware of.

You might assume that the new carry-on bag guidelines are due to space limitations in the overhead bins, but it has more to do with on-time rates, Aviation economies expert and senior vice president of ICF Aviation Samuel Engel told Vox that the biggest bottleneck when it comes to boarding is carry-on luggage. For every minute a plane isn’t in the air, it's losing money. A delayed departure makes the flight crew look bad and passengers very angry.

So, the next time you fly, plan to check your bag before security, pay a bit more for your ticket so you are allowed a carry-on, or try rolling a week s worth of clothes into a backpack, a still-allowed “personal item.”

1What does the first paragraph intend to convey?

A. People feel comfortable when they are taking a flight

B. People are unwilling to wait for their bags after getting off the plane

C. People tend to choose the carry-on suitcases for convenience.

D. People will no longer have the option for free carry-on suitcases

2Which of the following is NOT the reason why more airlines begin to charge for carry-ons?

A. Space limitations.B. Passengers support

C. On-time ratesD. Increasing budget.

3What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Carry-on bags are affecting on-time rates

B. What should you do before taking a flight?

C. Carry-on bags are increasing budget-busting delays

D. More Airlines are starting to charge for carry-on bags
