Passage OneYou've probably had the experience of having someone fall in love with you when you didn't feel the same way. In such a case it's hard to know what to do. You don't want to be so obvious in your efforts that you make an enemy of him.A friend of mine had this problem and handled it in the most tactful (得体的) way I've ever seen. Instead of telling her admirer directly, she devoted herself to introducing him to every girl she knew. Whenever she had a date with him, she arranged to drop in at the home of one of her girl friends. At last he clicked (一见如故) with one of these girls, and then everyone was happy. My friend was rid of a problem and she still had the young man as a friend, which was just what she wanted him to be.Of course this solution may not work for you. You may have your own way of dealing with the problem. But whatever you decide to do, keep one thing in mind—the boy in question has feelings every bit as sensitive as your own. So try to find a way of discouraging him without hurting him.31. The best title for this passage would be______.A. How to Make a FriendB. Problems of DatingC. Good Advice for GirlsD. How to Free Yourself from an Admirer

根据下列内容，回答186-190题。Success is often measured by the ability to overcome adversity. But, it is often the belief ofothers that gives us the courage to try.J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at age 6. In herbiography, she remembers with great fondness when her good friend, Sean, whom she met insecondary school, became the first person to encourage her and help build the confidence that oneday she would be a very good writer."He was the first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition to be a writer. Hewas also the only person who thought I was bound to be a success at it, which meant much more tome than I ever told him at the time."Despite many setbacks Rowling persevered in her writing, particularly fantasy stories. But itwasn't until 1990 that she first conceived the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalls, it was on along train journey from London to Manchester that "the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into myhead. To my immense frustration (沮丧), I didn't have a functioning pen with me, and I was tooshy to ask anybody if I could borrow one. I think, now, that this was probably a good thing,because I simply sat and thought, for four(delayed train) hours, and all the details bubbled up inmy brain, and this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who didn't know he was a wizardbecame more and more real to me."That same year, her mother passed away after a ten-year battle with multiple sclerosis, whichdeeply affected her writing. She went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from herhusband shortly afterwards.During this time,Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression. Unemployed,shecompleted her first novel in area cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. After beingrejected by 12 publishing houses, the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small Britishpublishing house.Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages, J. K. Rowlingis the highest earning novelist in history. And it all began with her commitment to writing that wasfostered by the confidence of a friend !Who believed J.K.Rowling was to be a good writer?__________A.Her friend SeanB.Her motherC.Her daughterD.Her husband

问答题Section C (10 marks) Lisa Tyler was weary after a long, hard day at the pottery factory where she works, but as she approached her home in the English city of Stoke-on-Trent, her heart lightened; soon she would be having a nice cup of tea, putting her feet up and watching Friends, her favourite TV series, But first, she needed to change out of her work clothes and pick up her three-year-old son from his grandmother’s house nearby. As Lisa walked up her garden path, she noticed a light flashing on and off in an upstairs bedroom. A shiver went down her back. . What if it was a burglar? Quietly, she crept round to the back of the house to see if there was any sign of a break-in. Sure enough, a window was open and someone’s coat was hanging on the gatepost! Well, 26-year-old Lisa didn’t fancy coming face to face with a burglar, so she ran to a neighbour’s house and rang the police. As she sat waiting for the police to arrive, Lisa’s curiosity got the better of her and she decided to go back and see what was going on. That’s when she saw a leg coming out of the downstairs front window. It was a man climbing out. Lisa gasped in shock. The burglar war carrying her portable television! At this point, Lisa saw red. She didn’t have many possessions and she’d saved long and hard to buy that set. Besides, nobody was going to stop her watching Friends.“Oh no, you don’t.” she muttered under her breath, as fury swelled inside her. Without even stopping to think, she across the garden and started shouting at the burglar, “Give me my TV—drop it now!” Ignoring her, the man fled across the garden, so Lisa threw herself at him and successfully rugby-tackled him to the ground. The burglar struggled to escape, but Lisa hung on like the best kind of guard dog, despite being punched and kicked. As she looked up, she realized that she recognized the burglar’s face. She was so surprised that she lost her grip and the burglar got away, leaving the TV behind in the garden. By the time the police and her father arrived, Lisa was in tears. “I can’t believe you were so foolish, Lisa,” scolded her father. “You could have been killed.” “I know, but at least he didn’t get my TV.” she replied. Lisa later remembered the name of the burglar, who had been in the same year as her at school. He was later caught and jailed for 15 months after committing a burglary and assault. In May last year, Lisa was given a Certificate of Appreciation by Staffordshire police for her “outstanding courage and public action”. In the future, however, she intends to leave household security to a new member of her family, Chan, who is a real guard dog. Answer the questions in no more than 10 words. 1．What first led Lisa to think there was a burglar in her house? 2．Why didn’t Lisa wait in her neighbour’s house until the police arrived? 3．What does “Lisa saw red (in the 4th paragraph)” most probably mean? 4．What did the burglar do when Lisa shouted at him? 5．How did Lisa help to catch the burglar later?
