A farmer found a wounded eagle (鹰) in his field. He was so   26   that he took it home and cleaned its wounds. After that he placed it  27  in the yard, in the hope that it    28    recover soon.

Strangely enough, the eagle soon got used to the    29   of all the chickens in the yard. It learned to    30    from side to side like chickens, and eat happily from a trough (食槽). For many years, the eagle    31    his new life on the farm.

Then one day, one of the farmer’s friends pointed to the playing    32   and asked, “  33   is that eagle acting like a chicken?” The farmer told him what had   34  , and the friend felt quite   35  .

“I can’t believe that!” said the friend. “It should fly in the    36   , not live here!” He picked up the eagle, and   37   it into the air. The eagle was  38  , and cried loudly. Then it just fell down on the ground.

That night, the friend could   39   sleep as he remembered the chicken-like eagle. The next morning, he headed back to the farm for another   40  . This time he carried the eagle to the   41   of a nearby mountain.

When he stood at the highest place of the mountain, he looked into its eyes and shouted, “Don’t you   42   ? You weren’t made to live like a chicken!” As he   43   the eagle up, he made sure it was facing into the bright   44   of the rising sun. Then he    45    tossed (抛) the bird into the sky. This time the eagle opened his wings, and disappeared into the clouds.

Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive, hardly knowing whether to return or move forward, when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent. It was a tall young man, smoking.

    He had an almost black face, though red and smooth. His moustache was black with curled points, though he could not be more than twenty-three or-four. There was all unusual force in his face, and in his daring rolling eyes.

    “Well, my beauty, what can I do for you?” said he, coming forward. And seeing that she was quite at a loss: “Never mind me, I am Mr. d’Urbervilles. Have you come to see me or my mother”

    This differed greatly from what Tess had expected. She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face. She tried to keep calm and answered-“I came to see your mother, sir.”

    “I am afraid you cannot see her-she is ill in bed,” replied the representative of the house; for this was Mr. Alec, the only son of the noble family. “What is the business you wish to see her about?”

    “It isn’t business-it is-I can hardly say what.”

    “Pleasure”

    “Oh no. Why, sir, if I tell you, it will seem…”

    Tess’s sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that despite her general discomfort at being here, her rosy lips curved（弯曲）towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man.

    “It is so foolish,” she stammered（结结巴巴地说）; “I fear I can’t tell you”

    “Never mind; I like foolish things. Try again, my dear,” said he kindly.

    “Mother asked me to come,” Tess continued, “and, indeed, I was in the mind to do so myself.  But I did not think it would be like this. I came, sir, to tell you that we are of the same family as you.”

    “Ho! Poor relations!”

    “Yes.”

    “Stokes”

    “No; d’Urbervilles.”

    “Ay, ay; I mean d’Urbervilles.”

    “Our names are worn away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d’Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are, …and…and we have an old seal（印章）and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we’ve lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living.”

    “Very kind of your mother, I’m sure.” Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy. ”And so, my pretty girl, you’ve come on a friendly visit to us, as relations.”

    “I suppose I have,” looking less confident and uncomfortable again.

    “Well—there’s no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?”

                                       —Tess of the d’Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy

67. How does Tess feel in the whole course of the meeting with Alec？

      A. Excited and hopeful                                  B. Nervous and uncomfortable

      C. Surprised but comfortable                        D. Pleased but embarrassed

68. In the eyes of Tess, Alec is ________.

      A. forceful and daring                                   B. unfriendly and talkative

     C. a gentle and reliable man                        D. older than she had expected

69. Why does Tess pay the visit to the d’Urbervilles？

      A. To see Alec himself.    

    B. To see Alec’s mother.

      C. To confirm that they are of the same family.

      D. To make known their relationship and seek help.

70. Alec appears quite friendly to Tess mainly because ________.

      A. Tess is his distant relation                       B. Tess looks polite to him

     C. Tess is a pretty girl                      D. Tess looks ridiculous

　　In a room four men were seated at a large table. After asking me 1 about my place of birth and my Royal Air Force experience, they began to 2 me carefully on telecommunications. Now I was confident (自信的), at ease with a 3 subject. The years of study and work began to 4 , and I knew I was doing well. I was 5 enjoying it. When it was over, one of them said, “Well, now, we are completely 6 with your replies and we feel sure that you are well suited to the 7 we have in mind. But we are faced with a certain 8 . If we 9 you, it means we must 10 you in a position of authority (权威) 11 a number of our English employees. Many of them have been with us for a long time, and we feel 12 that your appointment (职位) would upset (打乱) good relations within the firm. We could not offer that post and we 13 not ask you to accept one or two other positions of a different 14 . They exist, but they are not 15 for someone like you. 16 , I'm afraid, we will not be able to offer you the job.”

　　I felt suddenly 17 , and I was quite unable to think. Yet somehow I 18 to leave that office, 19 that I had either forgotten or completely ignored (忽视) during the exciting years of the 20 my own black skin.
