試題分析：這篇短文講述的是Smith夫婦剛剛開(kāi)了一個(gè)餐館，為了吸引顧客，他們?cè)诓宛^前面貼出通知，意思應(yīng)該是免費(fèi)吃飯三天。但是那個(gè)外國(guó)人不知道太多的英語(yǔ)，他以為這里的on the house是要爬到房頂上去吃飯，最后鬧出了笑話。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一句話Mr and Mrs Smith have just opened a small restaurant可知，Smith夫婦剛剛開(kāi)了一個(gè)小餐館。故選A。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中In order to attract customers, they put a notice in front of the restaurant,可知，為了吸引顧客，他們?cè)诓宛^的前面張貼了一個(gè)通知。故選C。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中A foreign student who didn't know much English passed by the restaurant on the second day. It was lunchtime and he felt hungry可知，第二天一個(gè)外國(guó)的學(xué)生經(jīng)過(guò)這個(gè)餐館，那是在午飯時(shí)間，他感覺(jué)餓了。由此可知選D。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段中He looked around and found a ladder(梯子)against a tree nearby. He was very glad. But as he reached the top, he heard someone shouting at him可知，他找到了一個(gè)梯子，爬到了房頂上，這時(shí)他聽(tīng)到有人在對(duì)他大喊。故選C。
小題5:推理判斷題。根據(jù)文意可知，Smith夫婦剛剛開(kāi)了一個(gè)餐館，為了吸引顧客，他們?cè)诓宛^前面貼出通知，意思應(yīng)該是免費(fèi)吃飯三天。但是那個(gè)外國(guó)人不知道太多的英語(yǔ)，他以為這里的on the house是要爬到房頂上去吃飯。故我們可以推測(cè)選D。

After my husband died, my world crashed around me. My six children were 10, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was overwhelmed(壓垮) with the responsibilities(責(zé)任) of earning a living, caring for the children and simply keeping my head above water.
I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly(坦誠(chéng)地) I was uneasy. Every unusual noise or any late-night phone call filled me with fear. I felt really lonely.
One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd(牧羊犬) on our doorstep. It was obvious he wanted to make the house his home. The children took an instant（緊迫的） liking to "German" and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement(地下室) until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks. The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us.
On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. He stayed again Sunday night.
Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back. We thought we’d never see him again. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived. It went like this for almost 10 months. We looked forward to his coming each Monday morning he left home.
Each week, between German's visits, I grew a little braver, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.
小題1:How long did the German shepherd stay with the family every week?
A．One day.B．Two days.
C．Three days.D．Four days.
小題2:What does the underlined part in the first paragraph mean?

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容，在文章后第56-65小題的空格里填入一個(gè)最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。
注意：每個(gè)空格只填一個(gè)單詞 
People visit other countries for many purposes. Some travel on businesses; others travel to visit interesting places that are only found in other countries.
Wherever you go, and for whatever purpose, it’s important to be safe. A tourist can attract a lot of attention from local people. While most people you meet when travelling are sure to be nice, there are dangers—theft being the most common. So prepare for your trip in advance.
As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork. You don’t want to get to your destination （目的地）only to find you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport is about to expire (到期). Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travels, you can be treated. If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure you have an international driver’s license.
If you need to take medicine with you—such as travel-sickness pills—keep it in its original container（容器）. If you don’t, you may find yourself doing a lot of explaining to customs officials at your destination.
Buy a guidebook and read about the local customs of the country you are going to. Also, try and learn a few basic words and phrases—don’t assume that the local people will speak your language.
When you get to your destination, you’d better use official transport. Always go to the bus and taxi stands, don’t accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift. If there is no meter in the taxi, agree on a price before you get in. If you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while travelling, make sure you can lock the door of your room from the inside. If you are travelling with valuables such as jewelry, or a lot of money, you should ask about a safe for storing them in. Finally, remember to smile. It’s the friendliest and most sincere form of communication, and is sure to be understood in any part of the world!

If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to catch what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar. You can not enjoy a story if you stop a few times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent(妨礙) yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.
When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to depend mainly on the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main idea of the story. In all probability you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.
小題1:To read for pleasure means _____________.
A．to take pleasure in reading
B．to be satisfied in reading book
C．to read such books as novels, plays, travel books, etc
D．to go on with reading pleasantly
