10．Arriving in Sydney on his own from India，my husband，Rashid，stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children．
During the first week of his stay，he went out one day to do some shopping．He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone．He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers，including his passport（護照）．
He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city，thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one．
Late in the evening，the phone rang．It was a stranger．He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions．Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath．
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents．Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers．Her parents had carefully sorted them out，although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents．At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend．
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people．We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish to their way．

分析 本文屬于記敘文題材．在文中作者講述了她們一家經(jīng)歷的一件事情．作者的丈夫不慎丟失了文件包，正當著急的時候，有人打電話給送了回來，原來是那家人發(fā)現(xiàn)他們家的小孩在垃圾桶旁邊發(fā)現(xiàn)了這些文件，然后給送還了回來，通過這件事作者一家又找回了對人們的信任．

解答 21：答案：B 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章首段Rashid，stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house可知Rashid獨自一人到了悉尼后住在旅館中，同時到處去給家人找房子住，故答案選B．
22：答案：C 細節(jié)理解題． 根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend．可知陌生人一家是通過作者丈夫文件中的一封信里的內(nèi)容得知他的電話號碼的，故答案選C．
23：答案：D 詞義猜測題．根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents．可知那家人把撿到的文件替作者的丈夫保存著，然后送還給他，由此判斷該詞意思是"歸還"，故答案選D．
24：答案：B 主旨大意題．文章講述了作者的丈夫丟失的物品被扔到了垃圾箱，但是有一個好心的家庭卻把那些文件等規(guī)整好送還給作者的丈夫，這些別人眼里的垃圾對作者的丈夫來說非常重要，因此最佳標題為變廢為寶，故答案選B．

點評 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀，題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，詞義猜測題，主旨大意題．做題時學生應仔細閱讀原文，把握文章主要內(nèi)容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測．

5．Considering Australia's size and the fact that early settlements were far apart，Australian society is remarkably homogeneous （ 同種的）．Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them．It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents．
However，there is some difference in lifestyle between city settlers and the country people．Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fastpaced cities along the coast and has little more_than_a_passing_familiarity_with_the_desert． The major cities preserve images of colonial heritage，but the overall impression is modern，with new buildings reflecting the country's youth．In contrast，the rural communities tend to be slowmoving and conservative．For many years，Australia was said to have"ridden on the sheep's back"，a reference to wool being the country's main money earner．However，it is no longer dominant （主宰的）．Much of Australia's relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat，and by being the largest diamond producer in the world．Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important．Australians are generally friendly and relaxed，with a modest sense of humor．
Yet，contrary to widespread belief，very few Australians have true prisoner origins．Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788，Australia had become a nation of immigrants．Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles，today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere．Australia's liberal postwar immigration policies led to a flowing of survivors from wartorn Europe，most notably Greeks，Italians，Poles and Germans．
The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia．Today Australia is a"mixture of nations"and although some racism exists，it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is reasonably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural commu nities in the world．
33．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners．
B．One third of people living in Australia come from Europe．
C．The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports．
D．The pace of life in the city is different from that in the country．
34．What used to be Australia's main money earner？A
A．Wool       B．Wheat．C．Tourism     D．Diamond
35．We can infer from the passage thatD．
A．nothing about Australia's colonial part in modern cities can be seen by visitors
B．tourism and wine making resulted in fast development in rural communities only
C．immigrants from Europe have brought racial problems
D．Australia's recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia．

2．There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket，making you believe that they are worth a try．How？Packaging（包裝）is the silent but persuading salesman．
There on the shelves，each bottle，can，box，and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer（消費者），so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life．Scientists have studied consumer behaviour recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the"quality"of the product and on how well it sells，because"Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package．Many products are packages and many packages are products，"as Louis Cheskin，the first social scientist studying consumers'feeling for packaging，noticed．
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging．Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly．Take V8for example．For many years，the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body．And the word"green"today can keep food prices going up．
Shapes are another attraction．Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness，because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart．That's why the round yellow M sings of McDonald's are inviting to both young and old．
This new consumer response（反應） to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul．

24．According to the passage，Aseems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product．
A．the pleasing color of the package
B．the special taste of the product
C．the strange shape of the package
D．the belief in the product
25．If a package or a product is round in shape，it canD．
A．bring excitement to the consumers
B．a(chǎn)ttract the consumers'attention
C．catch the eye movement of the consumers
D．produce a happy and peaceful feeling
26．"And the word‘green'today can keep food prices going up．"This sentence suggests that consumers today areD．
A．starting to notice the importance of new food
B．enjoying the beauty of nature more than before
C．beginning to like green vegetables
D．paying more attention to their health
27．It can be inferred from the passage that V8is a kind ofB．
A．vegetable dish          B．healthy juice
C．iced drink              D．red vegetable．

19．One afternoon Peter and Jim went out for a bicycle ride．When they passed a place they saw a large area of grass and bushes on fire and a strong wind was blowing the flames towards a village．The firemen had already arrived and were trying to put out the fire．The boys left their bicycles and ran towards the village to see if they could help to fight the fire．On the way they met two firemen．
"Quick，you boys，"said one of the firemen．"Come and help us to pull a pump （泵） to the stream．We can't beat out the fire．The wind is too strong．The pump is our only hope．"
The two boys ran further until they came to a heavy pump．They helped to pull it to a stream not far from the village．
Soon the pump was working well so the boys went to watch the fire．It had already reached the edge of the village．The boys saw that two houses were on fire，and the flames were attacking a third building．Suddenly there was a shout from one of the villagers．
"Keep away!"a voice shouted．"There's paint stored in that building．"The boys and villagers moved away quickly．With a loud explosion （爆炸），the whole building burst into flames，sending clouds of thick black smoke into the sky．
At this time Peter and Jim began to think that the whole village would be burnt to the ground．The firemen had left the burning buildings and were pouring （澆） water onto the neighboring houses，trying to stop the fire from spreading．Then the wind died down．A second pump was brought up to help，and the fire was gradually put out．
"It's soon finished，"Peter said to his friend．"We must go or we shall get home late．""Yes，come on，"agreed Jim，and with a last look at the ruins，they walked back to their bicycles．

A．watch it

A．no one knew how the fire broke out
B．two pumps were used to put out the fire

20．Albert Einstein was probably the most famous scientist of the twentieth century．He changed scientific thinking in the modern world．He is generally considered as the greatest physicist who ever lived．What's more，he devoted a lot of his time and energy to working for human rights and progress．
In 1933，while Einstein was visiting England and the United States，the Nazi government of Germany took all his things away，including his position and his citizenship．Einstein then settled down in the United States．In 1939，Einstein，who loved peace-afraid of a world in which only Hitler would had an atomic bomb（原子彈）-tried hard to persuade President Franklin D．Roosevelt in a famous letter to have the United States start uranium research．That Germany，after all，had no bomb，and that the first bomb would fall on Japan，could not have been expected．After the war，Einstein never stopped working for peace and reducing the number of soldiers in the world．
Although he wasn't connected with any accepted religion（宗教），Einstein felt that trust in a personal God was too special an idea to be suitable to the God at work in this universe，but he never believed that the universe was one of chance or disorder．The universe to him was one of pure law and order．He once said，"God may know everything，but he is not hateful．"
12．From the passage we know thatB．
A．no scientist is as great as Albert Einstein during this century．
B．Albert Einstein was likely to be the greatest scientist of his time．
C．Albert Einstein made the first atomic bomb for the United States of America．
D．Albert Einstein gave up his German citizenship for political reasons．
13．If Einstein had known that Hitler had no atomic bomb and that the first atomic bomb would fall on Japan，he wouldC．
A．have continued his scientific research．
B．have won another Nobel Prize for physics．
C．not have advised starting uranium research in the U．S．A．
