本文講述了一個善良的侍者故事。一位叫比爾的老人每天晚上六點鐘去他家附近的一家餐館吃晚飯。晚飯后,他喝咖啡,和餐館里的人說話。比爾很孤獨。他的妻子去世了,他沒有孩子。每天晚上,都是一個叫卡拉女服務員為他服務?ɡ瓕Ρ葼柡芎谩K浪芄陋,所以她跟他說話。如果比爾晚餐遲到,她就打電話給他。一天晚上,比爾沒有來餐館。卡拉打電話給他,但是他沒有接電話。卡拉打電話給警察。后來警察告訴她,“比爾在睡夢中死去”。一個星期后,一個男人來到餐館。他給卡拉一張50萬美元的支票。錢是比爾寄來給卡拉的,因為卡拉對他很好。

1題意:判斷對錯。句意:比爾每天都去餐館,因為飯菜很好吃?疾榧毠(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第2段第2Bill ate at the restaurant every evening because he was lonely.(比爾每天晚上都在餐館吃飯,因為他很寂寞。)可知此句是錯誤的,寫F。

2題意:比爾在餐廳做了些什么?根據(jù)第一段第23He ate dinner.After dinner,he drank coffee and talked to the people at the restaurant.結(jié)合題意可知答案是He ate dinner. After dinner, he drank coffee and talked to the people.

3題意:如果比爾沒有準時到達餐廳,卡拉會怎么辦?根據(jù)第四段第三句If Bill was late for dinner,she called him on the telephone.(如果比爾吃飯遲到了,她會打電話給他。可知答案是Cara would call Bill on the telephone.

4題意:卡拉經(jīng)常和比爾說話,因為她知道___________________。根據(jù)第四段第二句She knew he was lonely,so she talked to him.(她知道他很孤獨,所以她跟他說話。)可知答案是he was lonely。

5題意:把文中畫線句子This money is for me?翻譯成漢語。Sth. be for sb.:某物給某人,本句是問號,故答案是這錢是給我的嗎?

【題目】An old English saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine.” One person who certainly would have agreed with this is Norman Cousins.

Norman Cousins was the editor of a magazine called “Saturday Review” for almost forty years. He also wrote and spoke about world peace and anti-nuclear(反核的) and anti-war issues (問題). And he traveled to many different countries to share his ideas.

In the 1960s, after returning to the United States from a busy and tiring trip to Europe, Mr. Cousins got sick. He discovered he had a rare disease, known as ankylosing spondylitis, which caused the joint between his bones to stiff(僵硬的).

In less than a week after he got sick, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not able to sleep at night. The doctors told Mr. Cousins that they did not know how to cure his illness and he might never get over(擺脫) it. Mr. Cousins, however, refused to stop hope.

Mr. Cousins thought that illness could be caused by unhappy thoughts. He did not want to take medicine to cure himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.

He began to experiment on himself while still in that hospital by watching comedy(喜劇) shows on TV. Mr. Quickly found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free(無痛苦的) sleep at night.

Deciding that the doctors could not help him, Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into(入住) a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousins rested in the hotel room watching comedy show on TV, reading amusing books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired. Within three weeks, he felt well enough to take a holiday to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for exercise.

A. It is uncommon. B. It makes walking difficult.

C. It is easily cured. D. It is painful.

2What did the doctors think about Mr. Cousins’ disease?

A. It could be cured if he slept more. B. It mightnot be cured.

C. It could be cured by taking medicine. D. It would take a week to get over it.

3What did Mr. Cousins think cured him?

A. Laughter. B. Running on the beach.

C. Medicine. D. Taking a holiday.

4What did Mr. Cousins do after he got better?

A. He went back to the hospital. B. He continued his job.

C. He wrote amusing books. D. He went on relaxing by taking a holiday

【題目】Read the passage carefully and answer the questions according what you’ve read.

In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters. The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.

Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can't stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked” fire”. They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed (發(fā)炎的)and swollen that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call "Space Warrior's Wrist". Other strange aches and pains also are likely to affect the elbows and shoulders.

Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness (暈倒) and fell to the floor.

Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency.

1What are the teenagers crazy about today in most towns? (Within 5 words)

_________________________________________________________________________.

2What will happen to the teenagers if they spend too much time playing electronic games? (Two points within 15 words)

_________________________________________________________________________.
