Mr. Samson was a newspaper editor in Boston, America. On the night of August 28, 1988, when he was on night duty, he dreamed that a volcano (火山) near the Island of Java erupted (爆發(fā)) , and that the local people were buried under lava (熔巖).
When he woke up from the bad dream with a start, he thought it was very interesting material, so he wrote it down on a piece of paper, left it on the desk and went home. Early in the morning, the editor-in-chief came to work and saw the paper. He took it for the latest news that something important had happened last night and published it immediately. Only later did he find out it was just about what Mr. Samson had seen in his dream. But it was all too late because the newspaper had already been delivered (傳送).And it caused a great panic.
In no time the editors met to discuss the serious problem. They finally decided to make an apology in the newspaper. Just at that time word came that a volcano on a small Island between Java and Sumatra did erupt. The eruption made the small island lose two thirds of its area, and the seismic sea waves caused tragedy (悲劇) in human.

試題分析: 本文是一篇故事，介紹了在1988年8月28日的晚上，編輯Mr Samson夢(mèng)到當(dāng)?shù)氐幕鹕絿姲l(fā)了，睡醒后他認(rèn)為這件事非常有趣，就寫了下來，放在桌子上。而這篇文章被主編誤以為是新聞而發(fā)表了。正當(dāng)他們因?yàn)楣适碌奶摷俣鴾?zhǔn)備向公眾道歉時(shí)，火山卻真地噴發(fā)了。
小題1:D推理判斷題。 根據(jù)文章第一段On the night of August 28, 1988, he dreamed that a volcano (火山) near the Island of Java erupted和下文 Early in the morning,內(nèi)容可知火山噴發(fā)是在他做夢(mèng)的第二天，也就是1988 8月29日。
小題2:A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章末段可知正當(dāng)他們決定要向公眾道歉的時(shí)候傳來了火山噴發(fā)的消息，所以他們實(shí)際上沒有道歉，選A。
小題3:C推理判斷題。報(bào)紙?zhí)崆皥?bào)道了火山噴發(fā)的消息，由此推斷人們會(huì)對(duì)這家報(bào)紙會(huì)更加信任，報(bào)紙也會(huì)更受人們歡迎，選C。
小題4:D主旨大意題。文章主要講述了報(bào)紙的主編Mr Samson夢(mèng)到火山噴發(fā)的事情竟然成了現(xiàn)實(shí)的事情，故D選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容可以概括中心，選D。

Do you like chocolate? Most people do. Some like it in bars. Others just like big squares of it.
Say you just got a box of chocolate. Which piece do you pick first? A study carried out by a professor in the University of Virginia showed that people’s choices of chocolates show their personality. If you choose a round piece, you are a person who likes to party. If you select an oval shape, you are a person who strives(努力). You like to make things and push yourself to be successful. Picking a square shape shows that this is an honest and truthful person you can depend on.
What kind of chocolate do you pick? Maybe you like milk chocolate. This shows you have warm feelings about the past, while dark chocolate means something else -- the person who chooses it ________. What about white chocolate? Would you like to choose it? If so, you may find it hard to make up your mind. Those who like chocolate with nuts are people who like to help others.
