I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪僻的)farmer. I had never met him before although, I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I had not the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.
It had been snowing heavily that day and I did not know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone…even my wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑聞). I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(廄). “I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!” he said.
Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!” he said, and burst into tears again.

小題1:詞意猜測題。根據(jù)短文第一段he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything描述，在我能理解某事前他一直講了大約有一分鐘左右。故后文是我能聽懂的是一個叫馬里的人出了一起事故。故選B。

Eric was standing in front of a large, gray house in the countryside. He had just been dropped off by his mum, who left after telling him that he was going to       the next twelve days there with no TV, no mobile phone and worst of all—no      .
Just then, a man appeared* at the gate of the house. When he saw Eric, he went up to him immediately*. "I'm        you are Eric. Welcome to Camp Reboot," said the man proudly. "I'm Tony, the camp leader*, but you will        me 'Sir'. Now you tell me        you're here."
Eric quickly replied, "My mum made me         here!" When Tony looked angrily        him and did not say      , Eric realized his mistake and added, "Sir!"

Look at you—tired, unhealthy and certainly not getting        sleep. You're here because you think your world on the Internet is much        than the real world. But you're wrong! The real world has much more to offer. At Camp Reboot, you're going to go hiking, boating, rock-climbing and stay outdoors most of the       ," said Tony.
Eric's heart broke.
"But it's not going be all fun and games." Tony continued. " We have rules here.        you break them, you'll never be sent home       ! Instead, you'll have to sweep the floor, wash the dishes or do an extra hour of exercise!"
"Oh, my God!" cried Eric. "What have you got me into, Mum?"

"Oh, that's a good idea," said his wife. "But please don't tell him," said Simon, "If he knows I put the rice there, he will         take it.”
So, late that night Simon took a bag of rice to Victor's barn. The next day, while looking at his own barn, he was surprised. "I took a bag of rice to Victor's house last night,      I still have
the same number of bags in my barn.        did that happen?"

Two years ago my grandmother was going to turn 75. My family discussed what the best way to celebrate was. Should we throw her a party? Should we take her on a trip? We remembered that she had touched so many people's lives, and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute(獻禮) to my grandmother .m
We secretly sent out letters to the people in Grandmother's address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through the response (回應) surprised us. We compiled(編輯)these letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.
The unusual thing about my grandmother's friends was not the number that she had, but the connection they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother's life.
I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in one's lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends one has, but the quality of the bonds. If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say one has lived a successful life. I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.

Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.
He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”
One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.
As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of a painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows. The girl said, “Sure, I know.” And invited him to sit on the porch (門廊 ). As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came.
