【題目】We laugh at jokes, but seldom __________about how they work.

A．we think B．think we

C．we do think D．do we think

【答案】D

【解析】

試題解析：考查部分倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。在正式文體中，never, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely, no sooner, no longer, nowhere等含有否定意義的副詞若位于句首，則其后要用部分倒裝。倒裝是將正常語序中主謂顛倒，而部分倒裝是將主語與助動(dòng)詞顛倒。此句中seldom為否定意義，故使用部分倒裝。句意：我們嘲笑笑料，但是很少去思考他們是怎樣發(fā)生的。故選D。

【題目】In the United States, friends can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet fade away in a short time if circumstances（環(huán)境）change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship where it left out and are delighted.

In the States, you can feel free to visit people’s homes, share their holidays, enjoy their children and their lies without fear that you taking on a lasting obligation（負(fù)擔(dān)）. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality（款待）because you can’t give it in return. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.

Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full, warm and real. Most visitors find themselves readily invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain (招待) at home, offering what is felt as only home-cooked food, not " doing something for your guest". It is felt that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for other different reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family custom, outsiders are not invited into homes.

In the United States both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to one’s home than to go to a public place, except in purely business relationships. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior（次的）treatment.

Don’t feel neglected( 被輕視的) if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room either. Flowers are very expensive there, hotel delivery is uncertain, arrival times are delayed, changed, or canceled so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in different lands, the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real.

【1】In the United States, you will find friendships if circumstances change.

A．disappear gradually B．pass away

C．die suddenly D．last forever

【2】Americans their foreign friends to make a return for their hospitality.

A．a(chǎn)sk B．wish

C．don’t expect D．never allow

【3】In some other counties, giving a dinner party at home is considered than in a restaurant.

A．less hospitable B．less hot

C．more natural D．more popular

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? .

A．Flowers are signs of outward welcome

B．Flowers are expensive in some places

C．Flowers are available at all time

D．Flowers are not necessarily sent to guests

【5】.Which of the following is the best title for this passage? .

A．American Hospitality B．American Welcome

C．American Invitation D．American Friendships

【題目】A few minutes later she got up and went to the phone. She knew the number of the police station, and when the man at the other end answered, she cried to him. “Quick! Come quick! Patrick’s dead!”

“Who’s speaking?”

“Mrs Maloney. Mrs Patrick Maloney.”

“You mean Patrick Maloney’s dead?”

“I think so,” she sobbed. “He’s lying on the floor and I think he’s dead.”

“Be right over,” the man said.

The car came very quickly, and when she opened the front door, two policemen walked in. She knew them both—she knew nearly all the men at that precinct. Briefly, she told her story about going out to the grocer and coming back to find him on the floor. While she was talking, crying and talking, Noonan discovered a small patch of congealed blood on the dead man’s head. He showed it to O’Malley who got up at once and hurried to the phone.

Later, one of the detectives came up and sat beside her. Did she know, he asked, of anything in the house that could’ve been used as the weapon? Would she mind having a look around to see if anything was missing—a very big spanner, for example, or a heavy metal vase.

They didn’t have any heavy metal vases, she said.

“Or a big spanner (扳手)?”

She didn’t think they had a big spanner. But there might be some things like that in the garage.

The search went on. She knew that there were other policemen in the garden all around the house. She could hear their footsteps on the gravel outside, and sometimes she saw the flash of a torchlight through a chink in the curtains.

Then one by one they came in and were persuaded to take a little nip of whisky. They stood around rather awkwardly with the drinks in their hands, uncomfortable in her presence, trying to say consoling things to her. Sergeant Noonan wandered into the kitchen, came out quickly and said. “Look, Mrs Maloney. You know that oven of yours is still on, and the meat still inside…I better turn it off for you, hadn’t I?”

“Will you do that, Jack. Thank you so much.”

When the sergeant returned the second time, she looked at him with her large, dark, tearful eyes.

“Would you do me a small favour—you and these others?” She said.

“We can try, Mrs Maloney.”

“Well,” she said. “You must be terribly hungry by now because it’s long past your supper time. Why don’t you eat up that lamb that’s in the oven? It’ll be cooked just right by now.”

“Wouldn’t dream of it,” Sergeant Noonan said.

“Please,” she begged. “Please eat it.”

The four policemen vacillated, but they were clearly hungry, and in the end they were persuaded to go into the kitchen and help themselves. The woman stayed where she was, listening to them through the open door, and she could hear them speaking among themselves, their voices thick and sloppy because their mouths were full of meat.

“The guy must’ve used a big thing to hit Patrick,” one of them was saying. “The doctor says his skull was smashed all to pieces.”

“That’s why it ought to be easy to find.”

“Exactly what I say.”

“The murderer’s not going to carrying a thing like that around with him longer than he needs.”

One of them belched.

“Personally, I think it’s right here on the premises.”

“Probably right under our very noses. What you think, Jack?”

And in the other room, Mary Maloney began to giggle.

【1】Which of the following is incorrect according to the passage?

A. The policemen searched around the house until night.

B. The policemen were dealing with the murder of Mary’s brother.

C. The Maloney’s didn’t have a big spanner.

D. Patrick died because of a critical damage to his head.

【2】What is the meaning of the underlined word “vacillate”?

A. discuss B. refuse C. hesitate D. agree

【3】What could you learn about Mrs Maloney from the passage?

A. She is a careless person who may not notice subtle sound.

B. She was in the kitchen when the officers enjoyed the lamb.

C. She was very familiar with the policemen and the officers.

D. She put the lamb into the oven before her husband died.

【4】Why do you think Mary giggled at the end?

A. She was happy that they finished the real weapon without noticing.

B. She was glad that the policemen had a supper after working hard.

C. She was amused by the way they spoke with meat filled in their mouths.

D. She was pleased that they ate the lamb which she coud not finish alone.

【題目】 It was time to break free．

I needed to run away and the Bloomsburg Fair was the best place to go．

I don’t know if you can call it running away when it was only an hour away from my home．But once I entered the fair grounds, I crossed over into another world．The loudspeaker offered background music over the sounds of people talking, bargaining and food sellers yelling for your attention．

I belonged here．I didn’t know if I had it in my blood or not, but I always wanted to have a small food stand and travel in my off season from fair to fair selling goodies．Perhaps one day．It certainly wasn’t a priority(優(yōu)先考慮的事)in my life , Perhaps it should be．

After I was there a while, I needed to get away to a quiet spot．Most of the time, I could find that anywhere the farm animals were kept． They needed the quiet．So I went there to find peace with the cows, goats, horses, pigs and yes, the turkeys．You'd think being this close to "Thanksgiving", they'd be a little scared, but they were not．

It was in the dairy barn（倉庫）where I found peace this time．I so admired the young folks who tended to farm animals．I thought they had a greater appreciation for life．They participated in it firsthand．I once watched a young farmer help bring a baby cow into the world．

My favorite scene was to come across a young cowboy lying in the hay asleep among the cows that had settled down for a rest．There, with his heads in a small soft spot alongside his favorite cow, I had seen him in a much deserved sleep．Perhaps better at rest there than in his own bed．

I had the pleasure of speaking with a young teenage farm girl that day．

"You look so comfortable," I said to her．

"Oh I am," she said．"Life makes it comfortable for me．"

“You mean being a farm girl?"

"No, Life! That's the name of my cow," she said, smiling as she gently patted the cow's side．

"I thought they called cows Betsy and Elsie．Why did you call her Life?"

“I discovered life again here．It was the only meaningful name that came to mind．I had been raised in the big city and really hated it．Then we moved to the country, running away from it．I think my parents called it a mid-life crisis," she said, laughing．

"Oh, I can understand that．I've been in one since birth," I said．

"It was on the farm that I learned to love life again．I was there when Life was born．It was so exciting．My whole outlook on the world changed．So I named her Life．Now, I can say I really love 'Life'," she said．

"How amazing! I write stories and J am always trying to get people to enjoy life, to wake up each day expecting the best from it．But they all too often go to bed with so much bad stuff in their soul, and on their mind, that they wake up feeling bad and expect it to only get worse from there． All too often it does, just because that's all they choose to see in that otherwise perfectly beautiful day," I told her．

"That's too bad．They need to see a cow born, a chicken hatch．I guess they need to wake up early and hug Life!" she said, laughing．

"When was the last time you hugged Life" she asked me．

"I am sorry to say even I have had trouble doing that lately," I said．

"Come here!" she said．

Then standing up and stepping aside, she said, "Go ahead…h(huán)ug Life!"

I paused for a moment and dropping all thoughts of looking silly, I did．I hugged a cow．

D．The turkeys got into panic with "Thanksgiving" approaching
