Upon arrival，Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed.Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair，but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one，the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on their faces.Finally his name was called.The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window.Rocking the chair back and forth，he asked，“Do you really need to be interviewed？”Jimmy’s heart sank.“With the way I look now，how could I possibly pass this interview？”he thought to himself.

Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise，it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

“Sorry I had to keep you waiting，but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office.I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker.Congratulations！”Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well?deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

【解析】本文為一篇記敘文。講述了吉米失業(yè)后去一家公司應(yīng)聘的故事。在等公共汽車的時候，他看到一位老人的車壞了，就停下來幫助老人修車。車修好后，老人要給他錢，吉米拒絕了，并說了自己的情況。老人用車把吉米載到了他要去的公司。這位老人就是那家公司的總經(jīng)理。最后，吉米得到了這份工作。本文旨在告訴讀者“好人有好報”。

1.

2.2】解析：選D。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的．..he saw an elderly man...there was something wrong with the car.可推知吉米看到一位老人的車壞了。選項A“一個朋友的車癟胎了”中的朋友與文章內(nèi)容不相符；選項B“一個瘋狂的男人在推車”與文中的“一個上了年紀的人在使勁地踢他汽車的輪胎”不相符；選項C“發(fā)生了一場可怕的事故”在文中未提及。

3.3】解析：選D。推理判斷題。第二段中的后半部分提到吉米幫老人修好車后，又說了自己的情況，即他急著去參加面試，老人很感激他，就堅持要載他去。選項A“他也要去面試”在文中未提及；選項B“他需要一個旅游同伴”在文中也未提及；選項C“他總是幫助需要幫助的人”在文中也未提及。

4.4】解析：選B。推理判斷題。由第三段中的倒數(shù)第二句Jimmy’s heart sank.可推知他感覺自己已經(jīng)沒有希望得到這份工作了。選項A“他為其他的申請者感到遺憾”，選項C“他后悔幫助了那位老人”，選項D“這位面試官很粗魯”在文中均未提及。

5.5】解析：選C。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中的敘述可知，吉米在去面試時幫助了一位車壞了的老人，而這位老人就是他去面試的那家公司的總經(jīng)理，于是吉米得到了那份工作。由此我們可以推斷出本文旨在告訴讀者“好人有好報”。選項A“有志者，事竟成”，選項B“患難朋友才是真朋友”，選項D“兩人智慧勝一人”，都與文章主旨不符。

Many people think a telephone is essential. But I think it is a pest and a time waster. Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or curious chatter-box, or from somebody who wants something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are taking your bath. Are you strong minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself,“Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years’ time” You are not. You think there may be some important news or messages for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?

But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of emergency—illness, an accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.

I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a tycoon(business VIP),for instance, or bed ridden I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car essential.

Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent; one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. For I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.

1.The passage is mainly discussing _______.

A. that we should be strong enough to ignore a phone call

B. that important message will reach you sooner or later

C. whether it’s necessary to answer all phone calls

D. whether it is necessary to have a telephone

2.Judging from the passage, who is strong-minded enough to ignore a phone call?

A. The author. B.A tycoon.

C.A taxi-driver. D. Hardly anyone.

3.According to the passage, the author________.

A. thinks the telephone should go out of our life

B. likes to be different from other people

C. thinks the telephone is annoying

D. speaks favourably of a telephone

4.In the author’s opinion, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Nearly everyone has been told a wrong number.

B. It’s necessary for everyone to have a telephone.

C. He himself can not decide whether to answer a call.

D.A telephone directory may bring in unexpected calls.

(2013·高考廣東卷，C)One day，when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office.It was David.He kept walking up and down restlessly，his face pale，and his hands shaking slightly.His head teacher had referred him to me.“This boy has lost his family，”he wrote.“He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others，and I’m very worried about him.Can you help？”

I looked at David and showed him to a chair.How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to，and which no words can describe.Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.

The first two times we met，David didn’t say a word.He sat there，only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me.I suggested we play a game of chess.He nodded.After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me.It’s not easy to cheat in chess，but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

Usually，he arrived earlier than agreed，took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.It seemed as if he enjoyed my company.But why did he never look at me?

“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with，”I thought.“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later，when we were playing chess，he looked up at me suddenly.

“It’s your turn，”he said.

After that day，David started talking.He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club.He wrote to me a few times，about his biking with some friends，and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.

Maybe I gave David something.But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person.All it takes is a hug，a shoulder to cry on，a friendly touch，and an ear that listens.

1.When he first met the author，David________.

A．felt a little excited

B．walked energetically

C．looked a little nervous

D．showed up with his teacher

2.As a psychologist，the author________.

A．was ready to listen to David

B．was skeptical about psychology

C．was able to describe David’s problem

D．was sure of handling David’s problem

3.David enjoyed being with the author because he________.

A．wanted to ask the author for advice

B．needed to share sorrow with the author

C．liked the children’s drawings in the office

D．beat the author many times in the chess game

4.What can be inferred about David?

A．He recovered after months of treatment.

B．He liked biking before he lost his family.

C．He went into university soon after starting to talk.

D．He got friends in school before he met the author.

5.What made David change?

A．His teacher’s help.

B．The author’s friendship.

C．His exchange of letters with the author.

D．The author’s silent communication with him.

(2013·高考新課標全國卷Ⅱ，B)In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交響樂團)．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.

At the same time，the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.

Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little?known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

Today the“Fringe”，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.

A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

1.What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?

A．To bring Europe together again.

B．To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.

C．To introduce young theatre groups.

D．To attract great artists from Europe.

2.Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?

A．They owned a public house there.

B．They came to take up a challenge.

C．They thought they were also famous.

D．They wanted to take part in the festival.

3.Who joined the“Fringe”after it appeared?

A．Popular writers.

B．University students.

C．Artists from around the world.

D．Performers of music and dance.

4.We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival________.

A．has become a non?official event

B．has gone beyond an art festival

C．gives shows all year round

D．keeps growing rapidly

Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman

Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice，Jane Austen’s most

famous work，might be updated，200 years on.

Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence.But today she would certainly have had a very different life，as would her characters.Here’s my own suggestion...

It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men，however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism.

“My dear husband，”said his hopeful wife one day，“have you heard that the local store，standing empty for so long，is taken over by a bright young businesswoman？”

Her dull and indifferent (漠不關(guān)心的) husband replied that he had not.

“But it is，it is，”she replied excitedly.

Mr Dull?Husband made no reply.

“Don’t you want to know her plans？”she cried with some impatience.

“Well，clearly you think it matters to your silly little head...so I’d better listen.”

“Well，my dear，the rumour (傳言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England，though how_a_woman_can_know_anything_about_that_is_beyond_me.She will move in herself next month.”

“What is her name？”

“Bingley.”

“Is she married or single？”

“What a question! And none of your business.But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.”

“How so? How can it possibly affect them? ”

“My dear love：those lazy boys need something to wake them up.There are bound to be jobs going.”

“Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”

“Nonsense，my love，how little you’ve noticed the world has changed.She’s got a first?rate degree and some sort of business qualification，I’m told.She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.”

“Me? No.Perhaps you can take an interest.You still have your looks，after all.She may even offer you a job.”

“Oh，that’s not likely.These new chances belong to the younger generation.But now you mention it，I think I’ll go along all the same.”

And Mrs Bennet went along.That was 10 years ago.She is now managing director of a FTSE?listed company.

...It would remain the case，of course，that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board，that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues，her bonus of a more“female”dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city’s business leaders shorter than theirs.Still，she’d no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀談) with influential figures.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Austen was born 200 years ago.

B．Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.

C．Austen’s success lies in her wisdom.

D．Austen’s updated work gains popularity.

2.The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet ________.

A．had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley

B．felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley

C．was extremely anxious to meet Bingley

D．had a great curiosity about Bingley

3.In the eyes of Mrs Bennet，Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ________.

A．get married to

B．work for her

C．help her move in

D．take over her store

4.What does the writer intend to tell us?

A．Women with brains can also be as successful as men.

B．Women have to pay a high price for success.

C．A judgment must be made free from prejudice.

D．Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.
