4．Andy rode slowly on his way to school，day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him．He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him．
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present．He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens．What he saw shocked and terrified him．A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him．
With no time to waste，Andy sped off in the opposite direction，riding furiously-but without knowing how to escape the swarm．With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously，he sped down the rough road．As the bees came closer，his panic increased．Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings（蜇）．The last sting had landed him in hospital-and that was only one bee sting!He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days．Suddenly，his father's words came to him．"When you are in a tight situation，don't panic．Use your brain and think your way out of it．"
On a nearby hill，he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home．"Bees don't like smoke，"he thought．"They couldn't get into the house．"Andy raced towards the Nelson house，but the bees were gaining ground．Andy knew he could not reach the house in time．He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon．
Suddenly，out of the corner of his eyes，he spotted a small dam used by Mr．Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden．Off his bike and into the cool water he lived，disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects．After holding his breath for as long as he could，Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone．Dragging himself out of the dam，he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell．Mrs．Nelson took him inside and rang his mother．
"You'll really need that fishing break to help you recover，"laughed his mother with relief．"Thank goodness you didn't panic!"But Andy did not hear her．He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow．

41．Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier？B
A．He was riding to school．
B．He was listening to a strange sound．
C．He was going fishing with his father．
D．He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip．

A．They crowded like a black cloud．
B．They shocked and terrified Andy．
C．They tried to attack Andy in a mass．
D．They made Andy stay in hospital for two days．
43．How did Andy avoid the bees in the end？B
A．He asked Mr．Nelson for help．
B．He did himself under the water．
C．He rushed into the Nelson house．
D．He rode off in the opposite direction．
44．Which of the following can best describe Andy's escape from the bees？D
A．No pains，no gains．

5．Towards the end of Middle English，a sudden change in pronunciation started，with vowels （元音） being pronounced shorter and shorter．From the 16th century the British had contact （接觸） with many people from around the world．This meant that lots of new vocabulary entered the language．The invention of printing also meant that there was now a common language in print．Books became cheaper and more people learned to read．Spelling and grammar became fixed，and the dialect of London became the standard．In 1604 the first English dictionary came out．
    Early Modern English and Late Modern English are mostly different in the number of words．Late Modern English has many more words，mainly because of the following two reasons：First，the Industrial Revolution （工業(yè)革命） led to the need for new words．Second，the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth's surface，and the English language took in foreign words from many countries．
    From around 1600，the English colonization （殖民地化） of North America led to American English．Some English pronunciations and words"froze"when they reached America．In some ways，American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English．Some expressions that are called"American English"are in fact from British expressions．They were kept in the colonies while lost for a time in Britain．Spanish also had an influence （影響） on American English．For example，words like canyon，ranch，stampede and vigilante are from Spanish．They entered English by the people of Spain who settled in the American West．French words and West African words also influenced American English．
    Today，American English has a greater influence，because of the USA's movies，television，popular music，trade and technology．

2．I have a rule for travel：Never carry a map．I prefer to ask for directions．Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have names．In Japan，people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names．For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，"Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．"
    In the countryside of the American Midwest，usually there are not many landmarks．There are no mountains，so the land is very flat（平坦的）．In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles．Instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distance．In Kansas or Iowa，for example，people will say，"Go north two miles．Turn east，and then go another mile．"
People in Los Angeles，California，have no idea of distance on the map：They measure distance by means of time，not miles．"How far away is the post office？"you ask．"Oh，"they answer，"It's about five minutes from here．"You say，"Yes，but how many miles away is it？"They don't know．
    People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language．Instead of giving you the direction，a Greek will often say，"Follow me．"Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office．
     Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question．What happens in this situation？A New Yorker might say，"Sorry，I have no idea．"But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers，"I don't know．"People in Yucatan think that"I don't know"is impolite．They usually give an answer，often a wrong one．A visitor can get very，very lost in Yucatan!
   One thing will help you everywhere-in Japan，in the United States，in Greece，in Mexico，or in any other place．You might not understand a person's words，but maybe you can understand his body language．He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction．Go in that direction，and you may find the post office!
41．The passage mainly tells us thatC．
A．never carry a map for travel
B．there are not many landmarks in the American Midwest
C．there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world
D．New Yorkers often say，"I have no idea，"but people in Yucatan，Mexico，never say this．
42．The passage says，"In Japan，people use landmarks in their directions．"The word"landmarks"meansD．
A．building names
B．street names
C．there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world
D．buildings or places which are easily recognized
43．In which place do people tell distance by means of time？C
A．Japan       B．American Midwest      C．Los Angeles，California      D．Greece
44．In the passage，Bcountries are mentioned by the writer．
A．seven　　    B．four        C．eight　       D．five
45．Which of the following is wrong？D
A．Travelers can learn about people's customs by asking questions about directions．

C．people in some places give directions in miles，but people in other places give directions by means of time．

4．The grandfather of Nell Trent owns a shop of odds and ends．He wants to make sure his granddaughter is provided for when he dies．His memory of his daughter's suffering and early death gives him a fear of poverty．Gambling （賭博） becomes an addiction for Nell's grandfather，which results in his financial and physical ruin．Nell and her grandfather flee from their home and begin a journey that has no destination．For Nell，all she wants is a peaceful existence with enough to live on．
They come across many interesting people on their travels and often meet with the kindness of strangers．Yet，in a colorful world，they also face the reality of the Industrial Revolution．From simple villages and fields of flowers，they go into a dirty city full of mass unemployment and plague （瘟疫） victims---where children die of starvation and many are abandoned．
The story isn't only about Nell and her grandfather，but also the people who are connected to them directly or indirectly．There is Richard Swiveller，a careless young man who is a friend of Nell's older brother，who wants Swiveller to marry Nell for the fortune he thinks she has．Daniel Quilp is a cruel moneylender，who manages to fool the grandfather into borrowing large sums of money from him．There is honest Kit，a boy employed at the shop，who becomes a victim even though he never harms other people．Kit desires to help Nell，whom he considers an angel that has always inspired the best in him．The mysterious Bevis Marks，who is a generous customer to some people and an enemy to others，also has his own reasons for looking after Nell and her grandfather．
Unlike Dickens'other works，The Old Curiosity Shop is a book of contrasts：the purity of Nell compared to the dishonesty of Quilp，fresh air and scenic villages to the polluted，stone-covered city，etc．Even people's reaction to the book presented a cruel contrast．At first，Nell Trent was praised and considered Dickens'best character．Later，she was criticized by many well-known people like Oscar Wilde．While characters in Dickens'other books are moving towards a better future，Nell and her grandfather are fleeing for their life and their story is moving towards a sad ending．
56．We can infer from the first two paragraphs thatA．
A．Nell's mother died young because of poverty
B．Nell's grandfather made a fortune by gambling
C．Nell died of starvation during her journey
D．Nell had no one to turn to on her travels
57．What's the third paragraph mainly about？B
A．The plot （情節(jié)） of the story．
B．The characters in the story．
C．The background of the story．
D．The inspiration behind the story．
58．The Old Curiosity Shop is different from Dickens'other works because itA．
A．is full of contrasts
B．has a surprise ending
C．reflects Dickens'own life
D．is set in the Industrial Revolution．
