三、完形填空(每空1.5分，共30分)
When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the 26 side is much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 27 in good health, or 28 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 29 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 30 the title. Therefore, the scissors would 31 before they start, 32 halfway done when I find out the 33 result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 34 . You can only take up one of them; the other has to wait or be 35 up. But you know the future is unpredictable-the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 36 . Thus you are 37 in a difficult position and feel sad. How 38 that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 39 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.
In fact that is what 40 is like: we are often 41 with the two opposite sides of the thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only 42 we get into another. The 43 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I 44 remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual 45 may not be a had one.
26. A. front B. same C. either D. opposite
27. A. get B. keep C. lead D. bring
28. A. advice B. news C. a theory D. a report
29. A. suffer B. reduce C. prevent D. cause
30. A. on B. for C. without D. off
31. A. use B. handle C. prepare D. stay
32. A. or B. but C. so D. for
33. A. satisfying B. regretful C. surprising D. impossible
34. A. courage B. strength C. attention D. patience
35. A. given B. held C. made D. picked
36. A. near B. alone C. about D. behind
37. A. filled B. attracted C. caught D. struck
38. A. dares B. comes C. does D. dare

四、阅读理解(每小题分，共30分)
A
It was starting to get dark and Bobby turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the setting sun’s rays reflecting off something along the roadside. He reached down and discovered a shiny dime(一角钱). Never before has anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby felt at that moment.
As he held his new found treasure, a warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store he saw.
His excitement quickly turned cold when the salesperson told him that he couldn’t buy anything with only a dime.
He saw a flower shop and went inside to wait in line. When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother’s Christmas gift. The shop owner looked at Bobby and his ten cents offering. Then he said to him, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”
The sound of the door closed as the last customer left. All alone in the shop, Bobby began to feel cold and afraid. Suddenly the shop owner came out. There, before Bobby’s eyes, lay twelve long stem, red roses, with leaves of green and tiny white flowers all tied together with a big silver bow. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner picked them up and placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man.” The shop owner said reaching out his hand for the dime.
Sensing the boy’s reluctance(勉强), the shop owner added, “I just happened to have some roses on sale for ten cents a dozen. Would you like them?”
When the man placed the long box into his hands, he knew it was true. Walking out of the door that the owner was holding, Bobby heard the shopkeeper say, “Merry Christmas, son.”
46. Why did Bobby feel that he was rich?
A. Because he found a purse with many dollars

C
Lane waited on the bench nearest the bridge, as he had been instructed.. The strong wind blew straight across the river, and he had to put his overcoat closer about him.
He went over his instructions in his mind. The spy would appear at four o’clock. He would talk to Lane for a while, after which he would get up, leaving his newspapers behind. The plans would be found inside.
A distant clock began to strike the hour. As if from nowhere, a man appeared and sat down beside Lane, placing his newspaper on the seat between them. He was thin and middle-aged, and seemed in need of a good meal. He didn’t look like a successful spy, Lane thought. His talk about the weather was uninteresting.
A few minutes later he got up and continued on his way. Lane picked up the paper which lay on the bench, as if he wanted to read the news. He was excited to see the plans, stuck on the center page. At that moment, however, there was a strong gust of wind which lifted the newspaper into the air, like a kite, and blew it into the river.
53. Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. Sitting on the bench, Lane repeated his orders to himself
B. Lane would read about the plans in the newspaper.
C. The man Lane was expecting didn’t arrive on time
D. The man who suddenly appeared was not the one Lane was waiting for.

D
Every year there are hundreds of earthquakes in different parts of the world. In September, 1923, Tokyo and Yokohama were both destroyed by an earthquake and the fires that followed it. They had to be completely rebuilt. One of the most serious earthquakes was in China’s Shanxi province in 1556. It killed almost one million people.
We measure an earthquake’s strength on the Richter Scale. The Richter Scale was introduced in 1935 in Southern California in the USA. It measures earthquakes on a scale of one to ten. Any earthquake measuring five or more is usually serious.
The Earth’s crust(地壳) is made up of rock called plates. As these plates move, they sometimes crash against each other, causing the crust to quake. In cities such as Tokyo, where small quakes happen quite often, many modern buildings are designed to be flexible so when the Earth moves, they move with it.
Earthquakes can also break up gas and oil pipes. This can cause fires to break out, which can do as much damage as the earthquake itself.
Another effect of earthquakes is tsunamis. These are huge waves created by earthquakes beneath the sea. They can be many meters high and cause great damage to coastal towns and cities, China, Japan, Russia and the USA have the highest occurrence(发生) of earthquakes in the world.
57. The passage is mainly about .
A. scientists who study earthquakes B. the way of measuring earthquakes
C. a usual natural disaster D. what people should do in the earthquake
58. The earthquake in Shanxi Province , which in NOT true?
A. happened in 1556 B. killed one million people
C. was the only earthquake in China D. caused a lot of damage
59. Earthquakes
A. don’t cause much damage B. are not serious
C. most possibly happen in Japan D. happen all over the world
60. According to the passage we know that tsunamis .
A. can cause earthquakes
B. are caused by earthquakes
C. only happen on land
D. are a way of measuring earthquakes
