题目列表(包括答案和解析)


B
I am a person who does not like to wait in line. However, I realize anger will get me nowhere. Considering this, I have decided to turn my frustration(沮丧) to productive ends. In short, I am constantly hunting around for what I call “waiting in line books”, especially those that are designed for being read in snippets(文摘), so there is no extended story line to lose track of. Another requirement is that they be small enough to slip neatly into my back pocket.
The other day I went to the supermarket and was surprised to see that the place was crowded with shoppers, but no worries. I parked my cart behind five others and pulled out my vocabulary builder. Within a few seconds I was totally absorbed, and rather than seething at the 15 minutes it took to advance to the cashier, I learned that nankeen is “a yellow cotton cloth”, or, in the plural, “trousers made of it”. The acquisition of new words led me into a place where I would otherwise not have enjoyed myself so much.
Once, at a yard sale, I found two small pocket books titled Sidelights on American History (copyright 1919). The seller approached as I looked through the pages. “You want them?”
“First I need to see if they fit,” I told him. He watched as I slipped Volume 1 into my back pocket. “Perfect. I’ll take them.”
10 minutes later, I was at the carwash, where the waiting line was six vehicles long. Thank goodness for my books! By the time my car was being soaped and power sprayed, I had learned about the Annapolis Convention, the early life of Aaron Bur.
The more the world demands that I wait, the more I learn from my waiting library. In fact, I have become so fond of my “waiting” books that my spirits actually rise when I see a long line I must stand in. It is most likely I would be regarded as a bookish, lonely soul. But little would they realize that I was enjoying the company of those “waiting” books. And just as Disraeli said, “Everything comes if a man will only wait”.
60. When buying a book the writer _____.
A. has his own rules                        B. prefers books of small size
C. chooses books by famous writers            D. has no particular appetite
61. The truth behind the story is that the writer wants to tell us _____.
A. reading is not only important but also practical
B. one is expected to learn to adjust oneself rather than complain
C. reading is the best way to kill time
D. knowledge is power and wisdom is fortune
62. The underlined expression in paragraph 3 “seething at” probably means _____.
A. angry at                   B. delighted at              C. surprised at        D. excited at
63. The sentence in Paragraph 2 “there is no extended story line to lose track of” shows that _____.

B. the writer likes to read interesting stories while waiting in line

Dear Mr. Wang,

Thank you for taking your time to read my letter. 

My name is Wang Lin. I was born in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province in February 1988. Now I’m studying in the Foreign Languages College, Yangzhou University. As an open-minded young man, I’m good at communicating with people. English is my favorite subject. In 2007, I won the first prize in the National English Speech Contest. And in 2008 I worked as a volunteer in the Beijing Olympics, which helps me accumulate enough working experience.

    With the approach of the 2010 World Expo, I’d like very much to be a volunteer. Above all, I like meeting people from all over the world and making friends with them. Besides, I have such a rich knowledge about Chinese history that I can introduce them to our splendid culture. I’m sure I’ll serve the guests with enthusiasm. To sum up, I believe I can be a qualified volunteer. 

I will value it and do all I can if I could be accepted.

M: I see. Thank you.

W: How can I get to your house?

M: Oh it’s very easy. My house is only five minutes’ walk from the station. Turn right outside the station, and then it's the third street on the left. You can't miss it. It's got the number on the gate. It's exactly opposite the park.

W: I see. Thanks.

M: Here we are. This is it. I know it's smaller than you wanted, but it's one of the nicest flats in the building.

W: Does it have three bedrooms?

M: No, there are two. The master room is quite large though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one.

M: I'm not surprised. If the conditions for lightning to strike are right one time, they might be as good another time.

(Text 10)

M: Attention please, ladies and gentlemen. Our bus is getting close to Cambridge, where we'll be stopping to eat. We'll have our lunch in 'the garden of a restaurant overlooking a small park that reminds people of a very famous tree. It's said that General George Washington took command of the army in 1775 under its very branches. It was almost 100 years later, in 1864, that the city of Cambridge celebrated the event and from that moment on, the tree was called the Washington Elm. Later the tree was attacked by insects and finally destroyed in a storm. The remains of the tree were cut down and the growth tings were counted to find out how old the tree was. Well, it seems that if Washington had accepted the Command of his army under this tree he must have done so on his knees. This particular elm couldn't have been over 3 or 4 years old in 1775, It is a well-known fact that Washington took command under an elm tree, but unfortunately it couldn't have been the famous Washington Elm.

    Well, enjoy your lunch. Watch your step as you leave the bus.
