(2007年普通高等學(xué)校夏季招生考試英語(yǔ)（浙江卷）)E

I began working in journalism(新聞工作)when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.

With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.

“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.

“ None.”

“ Where did you go?”

“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”

“ What did you do?”

“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”

“ You just stood there?”

“ Didn’t sell a single one.”

“ My God, Russell!”

Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分鎳幣). It was the first nickle I earned.

Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence(自信), and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.

One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.

“ If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.

My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

56. Why did the boy start his job young?           

 A. He wanted to be famous in the future.                 B. The job was quite easy for him.

 C. His mother had high hopes for him.                    D. The competition for the job was fierce.

57. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.

 A. excited          B. interested                       C. ashamed   D. disappointed

58. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?

 A. She forced him to continue.                      B. She punished him.

 C. She gave him some money.                       D. She changed her plan.

59. What does the underlined phrase “this battle”(last paragraph) refer to?

 A. The war between the boy’s parents.                    

 B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.

 C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers.

 D. The fight between the boy and his father.

60. What is the text mainly about?

 A. The early life of a journalist.                       B. The early success of a journalist.

 C. The happy childhood of the writer.        D. The important role of the writer in his family.

When I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (圖章) ring. They were the "in" thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.

What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being "replaced". We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the " new" stuff (東西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.

Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.

Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. " You'll recognize this one," she said, smiling.

Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.

56.   The underlined word "in" in the first paragraph probably means "_____".

A. fashionable B. available     C. practical     D. renewable

57.   When she got the ring back, the writer was about _____.

A. 13 years old B. 15 years old C. 26 years old D. 28 years old

58.   Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.    The writer's family moved several times.

B.    The writer never stopped looking for her ring.

C.    The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.

D.    The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.

59.   What would be the best title for the passage?

A. My New Ring    B. Lost and Found        C. Lost and Replaced     D. An Expensive Ring

When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand French. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice and easy holiday without any language problems.

How wrong I was! The misunderstandings began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Daisy a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.

"Yes, "I said, "I want to give my friend a ring. "

"Well, that's nice, "he said. "Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?"

"Who is talking about marriage?" I replied. "I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived. Can you tell me where there's a phone box?"

"Oh! "he said. "There's a phone downstairs. "

When at last we met, Daisy explained the misunderstanding to me.

"Don't worry, "she said to me. "I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from the British. You' ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other!"

56. The writer thought ______ in America.

A. he wouldn't have any language difficulties

B. he would not understand the Americans

C. the Americans might not understand him

D. he would have difficulty at the airport

57. The writer wanted to _____.

A. buy a ring for his friend

B. make a call to his friend

C. go to the telephone company

D. see his friend off

58. From the passage we can see that "give somebody a ring" ______.

A .means the same in America as in England

B. means "call somebody" to the old man

C. has two different meanings

D. means "be going to get married" in England

59. In the last paragraph the underlined word "they" refers to ______.

A. the old man and the boy     B. the Americans
