In 1943, during the Second World War the body of an English man, William Martin, was discovered off the Spanish coast. The papers he had been carrying were returned to England, where they were carefully examined. They had clearly been changed and that was exactly what the British had hoped would happen, for Martin was a trick designed to fool the Germans.
  Martin did not exist. The body was that of a sailor who looked as though he had died when his boat sank, but in fact he had been ill and died. Leaving the boat to go down, his parents allowed the dead body to be put into the sea near Spain. It was hoped that the Germans would find it and read the fake(假的)papers he carried.
  The papers said that the British would attack the island of Sardinia, when in fact they planned to attack the island of Sicily. The trick was successful. When the British landed on Sicily, most of the heavy German guns had been moved to defend(保衛(wèi)) Sardinia.
【小題1】______ put the papers on the dead man.

A.The British B.German spies C.Spanish soldiers D.William Martin 
【小題2】When the Germans found William Martin they probably thought he _________.
A.was a British spy with important information about the war 
B.was killed by the British soldiers 
C.died of an illness 
D.had the fake papers of the British Army 
【小題3】When the British found out the papers were changed they concluded _________.
A.Martin did exist B.Martin was a German spy 
C.the Germans had read the papers D.they should attack Sardinia 
【小題4】Which of the order is right according to this passage? __________.
a. The Germans found the dead at sea.
b. The British decided to use the dead body to fool the Germans.
c. The British planned to attack Sicily.
d. The papers on Martin were brought to London to be examined.

One year our family decided to have a special celebration of Mother’s Day, as a token of appreciations for all the sacrifices that Mother had made for us. After breakfast we had arranged, as a surprise, to hire a car and take her for a beautiful drive in the country. Mother was rarely able to have a treat like that, because she was busy in the house nearly all the time.
But on the very morning of the day, we changed the plan a little, because it occurred to Father that it would be even better to take Mother fishing. As the car was hired and paid for, we might as well use it to drive up into the hills where the streams are. As Father said, if you just go driving without object, you have a sense of aimlessness, but if you are going to fish there is a definite purpose that heightens the enjoyment.
So we all felt it would be nicer for Mother to have a definite purpose . Father had just got a fishing rod the day before, which he said mother could use if she wanted to. Only Mother said she would much rather watch him fish than try to fish herself.
So we got her to make up a sandwich lunch in case we got hungry, though we were to come home again to a big festive dinner.
Well, when the car came to the door, it turned out that there was not as much space in it as we had supposed. It was plain that we couldn’t all get in.
Father said that he could just stay home and put in the time working in the garden. He said that there was a lot of rough dirty work that he could do, like digging a trench for the garbage, which would save hiring a man, and so he said that he’d stay home; he said that we were not to let the fact that he had not had a real holiday for three years stand in our way. He wanted us to go right ahead and not to mind him.
But of course we all felt that it would never do to let Father stay home, especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did. The two girls, Anne and Mary, would have stayed and helped the maid get dinner, only it seemed such a pity,for the two girls were eager to show their new hats on a lovely day like this. But they said that Mother had only to say the word and they’d gladly stay home and work. Will and I would have dropped out, but unfortunately we wouldn’t have been any use in preparing the dinner.
【小題1】The author’s family decided to celebrate Mother’s Day specially to _______.

A.show love for their mother
B.show gratitude to their mother
C.show respect for their mother
D.to make up for a previous appointment
【小題2】According to Paragraph 2, we know that the plan was changed because________.
A.Father proposed to go fishing out
B.we thought that driving out is boring
C.we failed to hire a car to go out
D.the car was not big enough
【小題3】What problem did we find when the car arrived?
A.The car was too old to drive on mountain roads.
B.The car was larger than we expected.
C.The car was too small to accommodate us all.
D.The car was too plain looking.
【小題4】Why didn’t the author drop out of the activity?
A.Because his sisters didn’t join in.
B.Because he needed to have dinner.
C.Because he couldn’t cook the dinner.
D.Because he hadn’t had a real holiday for three years.
【小題5】Which of the following proverbs describes the text best?
A.Everything comes to him who waits.
B.Changes always go beyond plans.
C.Better late than never.
D.Once on shore, one prays no more.

I came to Shawshank when I was just twenty,and I am one of the few people in the prison who is willing to admit what he did.I committed murder.I put a large insurance policy on my wife,who was three years older than 1 was,and then I fixed the brakes of the car her father had given us as a wedding present.It worked out exactly as I had planned,except I hadn’t planned on her stopping to pick up the neighbour woman and the woman’s son on the way down Castle Hill and into town.The brakes let go and the car crashed through the bushes,gathering speed.Bystanders said it must have been doing fifty or better when it hit the base of the Civil War statue in the town arid burst into flames.
I also hadn’t planned on getting caught,but caught 1 was.I got a pass into this place.My state has no death penalty(死刑),but I was tried for all three deaths and given three life sentences,to run one after the other.That fixed up any chance of parole(假釋)I might have,for a long,long time.The judge called what I had done‘a(chǎn)n extremely evil crime’, and it was ,but it is also in the past now.
Have I transformed myself,you ask ?I don’t know what that word means,at least as far as prisons and corrections go.I think it’s a politician’s word.It may have some other meaning,and it may be that 1 will have a chance to find out,but that is the future...
I was young,good—looking,and from the poor side of town.I met a pretty,headstrong girl who lived in one of the fine old houses on Carbine Street.She got pregnant later.Her father was agreeable to the marriage if 1 would take a job in the company he owned and ‘work my way up’.I found out that what he really had in mind was keeping me in his house and under his thumb,like a disagreeable pet that has not quite been housebroken and which may bite.Enough hate eventually piled up to cause me to do what I did.
Given a second chance 1 would not do it again,but I'm not sure that means I am transformed.

My wife passed away seven and a half years ago, and I went through a huge depression (消沉), the worst time in my life. I even wanted to end my life. I continued to work as a small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Kilauea, Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. On a family trip, we turned on the TV and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. I said to my kids, “I’m going to Afghanistan.” International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in some provinces where people had no health care. Eventually, the clinics were serving 27,000 patients a month. I had such a sense of accomplishment, a sense of purpose. My depression went completely away.
I go wherever disasters strike: Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquake. I was just in Kenya. After their presidential election, at least a thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were forced out. We set up mobile clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees (難民). Measles broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and medical equipment were also problems.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But really, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, my wife fell into a coma (昏迷). I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit, the exciting adventures we would have. I think about this moment many times during my “adventures”.
