Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or statements. Choose the best answer to each question or decide T/F for each statement. Passage One People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like- Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for him or herself and for invited friends. People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you. Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.(1).The home matters greatly to Englishmen.A.TB.F(2).They love houses more than gardens.A.TB.F(3).person often likes to use something to mark his / her space belonging to himself / herself.A.TB.F(4).On the train to London, the man beside the writer placed his briefcase on the table.A.TB.F(5).The writer tried to get back his space by taking all his papers out.A.TB.F

共用题干第二篇Lawrence CurryWhen I tell people my name,they always ask me if I'm related to Lawrence Curry,the novelist,and when I say,yes,he was my great-uncle,they always want to know what he was like. "We've read all his books,"they say,"but please tell us what he was really like."When I described him,as I knew him,they go disappointed.It seems that they find it difficult to accept such a great figure could have had such an ordinary character.My great-uncle was tall,with a long thin body.When he walked,he moved stiffly,with his arms clamped against his sides,looking like nothing so much as a pair of scissors.When I knew him,his hair as quite white,though it was supposed to have been yellow when he was young. His eyes were blue and deep set and had an anxious look about them as if he found the world a puzzling place.This expression of anxiety,which arose from nothing more than short-sight一he refused to wear glasses一inspire the protective instincts of his lady admirers,much to the irritation my great-aunt who thought all women were fools,except herself.Great-uncle Curry was naturally lazy. He spent a great deal of his time in the village pub playing darts.He was also a compulsive reader from the local telephone directory to great-aunt's shopping lists.For a man whose book showed such a deep perception of the complexities of human behavior, his conversation was surprisingly trivial.He delighted in discussing English weather,the price of beer,his grandchildren's most amusing words.He loved gossip,but he was kind.I never heard him make a malicious remark,but the wisdom of his writing never appeared in his conversation.As a child,we much preferred the company of his cousin,Stanly,who was a successful shop-owner who always brought us bags of sugar and broken biscuits.Taking it all in all,I have to admit my famous great-uncle was rather a bore.Lawrence Curry's cousin was much preferred by kids for__________.A:he often brought kids something they liked to eatB:he was an interesting manC:he was a rich businessmanD:he loved kids more than Lawrence did
His father tried to probe his mind and discover what he was thinking.A:solved B:exploredC:involved D:exploded
材料题BIn the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe，fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University．I had never before seen a man so tall as he，and so ugly．I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home．His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness．They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears，of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name．Indeed，his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself．My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock classes．Upon arriving at the university that day，I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office．He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall，and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around．He stepped in，remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out．“Tell me what you see．”I said as I took his place in the room，leaving him in the hall with his back to the door．Without the least hesitation and without a single error，he gave the number of seats in the room，pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls，named the colors each student was wearing，pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard，spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor，and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window．As I rejoined Wolfe，I was speechless with surprise．He，on the contrary，was wholly calm as he said，“The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all．”What do we learn about Wolfe from the passage A.He tried hard to remember what was in the classrooB.He stayed in the classroom for a short timC.He stayed drew a picture of Washington SquarD.He followed the author into the classroo
