Two friends went to England for a holiday one year, and on a beautiful spring morning they went for a walk in the country．They walked along a small road for a few miles, and then they climbed over a gate and walked across the green fields．There were cows, everywhere, but they were eating grass and did not look at the men．

　　They were crossing a big field of beautiful grass when an angry bull came out from behind some small trees and ran towards them．One of the men saw it first and said to his friend,“George, there's an angry bull behind us．Let's run to that tree and climb it．”Then he ran and quickly climbed the tree．

　　But his friend was slower than he and did not get to the tree quickly enough, so he ran to a big hole in the ground and jumped into it instead．

　　The bull was running very fast, and it passed the hole．Then the man got out of it quickly and began to run towards the fence, round the field, but the bull stopped, turned round, saw the man and ran at him angrily again．The man looked round, saw it coming, ran back to the hole and jumped into it once more before the bull reached him．

　　As soon as the bull passed the hole, the man got out of it again and ran towards the other side of the field, but the bull saw him, turned round and run after him once more．

　　This happened several times, and at last the man in the tree shouted to his friend while he was in the hole,“Why don't you stay in that hole until the bull gets tired of running after you and goes away, George?It won't go on forever．I'm going to stay in this tree until it's safe to come down again．”

第三部分閱讀理解 (共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分)
閱讀短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) (A、B、C和D) 中，選出最佳選項(xiàng).
A
Years of storms had taken their toll on the old windmill（風(fēng)車）. Its wheel, rusted and fallen, lay silent in the lush bluegrass.
　　I hadn‘t walked across our old farm in fifteen years. Fifteen years ago，rain or shine, I used to walk this path each day to see Greta. She always made me smile, even after my sister and I had just had a big quarrel. I would help Greta with her chores. Then we would enjoy her delicious homemade chocolate cookies and ice cream. Being confined to a wheel chair didn‘t stop Greta from being a great cook.
　　Greta gave me two of the greatest gifts I‘ve ever received. First, she taught me how to read. She also taught me that when I forgave Sister for our quarrels, it meant I wouldn‘t keep feeling like a victim(受害者). Instead, I would feel sunny.
　　Mr. Dinking, the local banker, tried to foreclose on Greta‘s house and land after her husband passed away. Thanks to Pa and Uncle Johan, Greta got to keep everything. Pa said that it was the least he could do for someone talented enough to teach me to read!
　　Soon folks were coming from miles around to buy Greta‘s homemade cakes, pies, breads, cookies, cider, and ice cream. Greta even had me take a big apple pie to Mr. Dinking who became one of her best customers and friends. That‘s just what Greta was.  She could turn anyone into a friend!
　　Greta always said, "Dear, keep walking in sunshine!" No matter how terrible my day started, I always felt sunny walking home from Greta‘s house---even beneath the winter starlight.
　　I arrived at Greta‘s house today just after sunset. An ambulance had stopped a few feet from her door, its red lights flashing. When I ran into the old house, Greta recognized me right away.
　　She smiled at me with her unforgettable twinkling blue eyes. She was almost out of breath when she reached out and softly touched my arm. Her last words to me were "Dear, keep walking in sunshine!"
56. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. What Greta taught me              B. Greta would never die

57. What can we know about Greta from the passage?

C. She was energetic and confidence    D. She was practical and helpful
58. The author used to go to see Greta every day mainly because _____.
A. Greta could treat the author with delicious food
B. Greta could give the author comfort
C. the author could learn how to read from Greta
D. the author could learn something valuable from Greta
59. What can we learn from the passage?

C. Greta must be a relative of the author’s family.
D. The author had been out of touch with Greta for fifteen years.

A friend is better than fortune. A friend is worse than poison in some cases. 
The two sentences above have opposite meanings and seem to be unreasonable, but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us into bad ways.
　　My ideal friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below — he has no bad habits, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality (節(jié)儉). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares the feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characteristics that I don’t have. I can follow him as a model. With his help I can be free from all difficulties.
Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word “failure”.
