二、選擇題

（每空？ 分，共？ 分）

5、    A few days ago, Adrian bought six packages of ink for his printer at a $1 Store. Then he found a deal on better ink at the local computer store. So Adrian went back to the $1 Store to exchange the ink for some other items.

    He put the ink into a plastic bag and tied it up. When he entered the store, he immediately showed the bag to a clerk and told her that he was returning some items. She looked at him but said nothing, so Adrian put the bag into a push-cart and started shopping.

    He was midway through shopping when a female employee suddenly stopped him. “Sir,” she said sternly(嚴(yán)厲地), “you are not allowed to carry a plastic bag of items around in this store.”

    Adrian was taken back. There was no need for her to yell. He opened the bag and showed her the six packages of ink. “I’m exchanging these for some other items,” Adrian said.

    “You should have left the bag with the clerk when you entered the store. Let me see your receipt!” the employee demanded. Adrian was embarrassed. He felt like a shoplifter while he showed her the receipt.

By the time Adrian had finished shopping and exchanged the items, he was angry and asked what her name was. She mumbled something and he heard “Ursula.”

    When Adrian got home, he called the store’s corporate headquarters. Two days later, Adrian received a phone call from a representative. “I’m sorry,” she said, “but there’s no one at that store named Ursula. Can you describe her? I’ll find out who she is. I assure you, we do not tolerate rude behavior, nor do we tolerate lying to customers.”

    By this time, Adrian had calmed down. He didn’t really want the employee to lose her job. He told the representative to forget about it.

72. Adrian went back to the $1 Store in order to _____.

       A. buy some cheap items

       B. exchange the ink for some other items

       C. look for his receipt

       D. complain to the manager about a clerk

73. Adrian felt like a shoplifter because _____.

       A. he took some things and was caught by an employee

       B. the female employee asked to see his receipt

       C. an employee yelled at him without any reason

       D. he was asked to pay for the goods he exchanged

74. After reading this passage, we can see that _____.

       A. it was not the female employee’s duty to yell at him

       B. Adrian was wrong to buy things at the $1 Store

       C. the female employee must be bad-tempered

       D. Adrian should have left the bag with the clerk

75. The purpose of this passage is to _____.

       C. point out the rudeness of the female employee at the $1 Store

       D. introduce how the employees at the store are employed

4、American TV and movies once gave a tough and cruel picture of the American police, though now there are TV series which have cops as heroes and defenders of society. The police are grateful for the good publicity and their new image, especially in cities where there are black Jews, who live under poverty line. White policemen are now careful of how they speak and act towards their fellow black citizens.

    The cop is a city or a State employee. He cannot arrest anyone outside his city or his State. He cannot even cross the border into a neighbor State in search of a criminal. If he does, he can be charged with breaking the law of that State. The police who have to be really tough are those who operate in big cities, like New York,Chicago and Detroit, which have large ghettos(貧民窟) and organized crimes.

     Since the majority of criminals are armed, American cops have to use their guns more often than most policemen in other places and the car chases through the crowded streets of Manhattan, which are a favorite feature of gangster movie, are not so exaggerated(夸張的). American cops get shot down, run over, stabbed, beaten up, and their wives are in constant fear that one day their men will not come home.

     Many policemen do a lot to help children whose parents are criminals. They understand better than most citizens the terrible misery of the Jews. They feel sorry for the drug addicts, but often treat roughly the “pushers” who sell the drugs―when they can catch them. They have been accused of making no serious attempt to break up the various drug rings. They say that such task would be never-ending.

68. The underlined word “cop” means_______.

     A. policemen    B. newsmen     C. citizens     D. criminals

69. American cops have to use their guns more often than most policemen because ____.

A.   they have to defend themselves from possible violence

B.   their wives are in fear that their husband might be shot down

C.   they often experience the car chases through the crowded street

D.   most of the criminals in America are armed

70. Many American cops do a lot to help children whose parents are law-breakers because _______.

A.   they feel sorry for the parents’ situation

B.  they are well aware of the misery of the Jews

C.  they are worried that these children might become criminals

D.  they are afraid that these children might be addicted to drugs.

71.The police of New York, Chicago and Detroit have a particularly rough time because _______.

     A .they are city or State employees

     B .they can’t cross the border into a neighboring state in search of a criminal

    C.  they can’t arrest anyone outside their city or their State

    D.  these cities have large Jews and organized crime

3、Thank-you cards ― heartfelt expressions of gratitude for gifts, services and general kindness ― seem to be rare in an age when the Internet continues to reduce human touch.

Although our society has changed greatly over the past century, the etiquette of thank-you notes has not.

While most people would agree that thank-you notes under these conditions are a necessity, there are still those who forever delay or are forgetful for unknown reasons.

And at no time of the year are thank-you notes more visible (or lacking) than June, the month of graduations, and the beginning of summer parties.

“ It' s a must-do thing. A real ' thank you' does not come by e-mail. It comes in the mail in an envelope. And what comes out of an envelope is a beautiful thing to touch and to handle and to pass around for everyone to read, ”said etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige.

Don't think for a second that Baldrige is old-fashioned. Handwritten thank-you notes ― any handwritten letter, for that matter ― have taken on an air of extra importance in this e-hyper (電子狂躁的) world.

Baldrige remains hopeful that the art may be enjoying a renaissance(復(fù)興）.

More than simply obeying rules of etiquette, thank-you cards are a sign of caring.

“They are more important now than ever,”expert Peter Post says. “You are building a relationship. And part of building that relationship is that you recognize it when someone has done something nice for you.”

“The payoff, ”P(pán)ost says, “can be huge. The more we do it, the more it comes back to us, and it's a benefit to us all. It makes our world a little bit nicer place to live in.”

56.   Nowadays thank-you cards seem to be rare mainly because _____.

A. People think that they are out of fashion

B. It is cheaper to say thanks by e-mail

C. The Internet has reduced our chances of getting together

D. People are too busy to remember these things

57.   From the context, the underlined word “etiquette”in the second paragraph probably means______.

A.old objects for sale                  B. rules for people to obey

C. hand-made articles                 D. customs for polite behavior

58.   The author implies in this article that ________.

A. old-fashioned people don’t use e-mails

B. the changing society is making people impolite and lazy

C. modern technology is driving people apart

D. the e-hyper world is not a nice place to live in

59.   What is the author's main purpose of writing this article?

A. To remind people to express heartfelt thanks.

B. To criticize people's forgetfulness.

C. To suggest building a new relationship.

D. To emphasize the importance of e-mail.

2、Geoffery Payne talked for the first time about the night when his wife was killed. The judge thought it was he who killed his wife. Now he wrote to a magazine from the prison about what had happened on the night of 13 October, 2007.

I had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation. I finally left at about 11 p.m. I drove home slowly because the weather was terrible－ the wind was blowing and it was raining heavily. I was turning into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car. I almost hit him but I stopped just in time. I was frightened and the man looked frightened, too. I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right. It was strange.

When I got home, the lights were on but it was very quiet. I called to my wife but there was no answer. Then I remembered that she was out at a concert.

I was still very upset about what had happened on the road, so I made myself a drink. Then I went upstairs to have a bath. I saw that the window in the bedroom was open. This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out. She was afraid of burglars (夜盜者）. When I went to close the window, I found Ellen. She was lying on the floor. There was blood everywhere. I rushed over and felt her pulse but she was dead. I sat on the floor beside her body. I was too frightened to do anything.

When I gained a bit of consciousness, the sky was getting light. I couldn't remember a thing about the night. In the morning I phoned the police. They arrived about half an hour after I phoned them. But it seemed like hours. During that time I tried hard to recall what had happened the night before. I couldn't stop thinking about the man on the road. What was he doing at that time of night in our quiet neighborhood? Why did he look so frightened? Why did he run away?

56.   Geoffrey Payne was a _____.

A. doctor          B. policeman        C. judge           D. taxi driver 

57.   When Payne got home, he found _____.

A. Ellen waiting for him                   B. the bedroom window closed

 C. A burglar in his house                 D. Ellen lying on the floor, blood all over

58.   After he found Ellen dead, Payne _____.

A. called the police at once                B. tried to find out the murderer

 C. called out for help                        D. was so scared that he could do nothing 

59.   In this passage Payne tried to ____.

A. say something about his family

B. show he was very sorry for his wife's death

C. make people believe the man in the road probably killed his wife

     D. tell why his wife was killed  

1、School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat at the very front of the bus because of anxiety to get home. Sitting at the front makes you stand out like a shiny   36   in a pile of dull pennies.

Janie, the driver, tries to   37   the uncomfortable atmosphere(氣氛) by striking the match of   38   .

I try to mind my manners and   39   listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day,   40  , her conversation was worth listening to.

   “My father’s sick, ” she said to no one in   41  . I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. With a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, “What’s wrong with him?”

  42   her eyes wet and her voice tight from fighting the tears, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes   43   as she continued. “ I’ve already lost my mum,   44   I don’t think I can bear losing him.”

I had no reply. I was   45  . My heart ached for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great   46   my own mother was thrown into   47    my father died.

I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to experience that.

Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was   48  her job. She had a whole    world of family and concerns too. I had never thought of her as anything   49   a driver.

At the moment I felt I was very   50  . I realized I had only thought of people as far as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie  51   she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and regarded her as  52  .

For all I know, I’m just another person in   53   else’s world, and may not even be important. I should not have been so selfish and self-centred. Everyone   54   a place to go to, people to see and appointments to  55  . Understanding people is an art.
