【題目】閱讀理解。閱讀下列四篇短文,從每小題后所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。
“I never did hate the Yankees(北方佬). All that I hated was the war...” That’s how my great-aunt Bettie began her story. I heard it many times as a child, whenever my family visited Aunt Bettie in the old house in Berryville, Virginia.
Bettie Van Metre had good reason to hate the Civil War. Her brother was killed at Gettysburg, and her husband, James, a Confederate(南方聯(lián)盟軍)officer, was taken prisoner and sent to an unknown prison camp somewhere.
One day in late September, Dick came to Bettie reporting that he had found a wounded Union soldier in a farmhouse half a mile away from the Van Metre home. When talking about her first sight of the man in the blood-spotted blue uniform, she always used the same words. “It was like walking into a nightmare: those awful bandages, that terrible smell.” She went out into the cool air, trying not to be sick at the thought of that smashed right hand, that missing left leg.
The man’s papers Bettie found in the farmhouse showed his identity: Henry Bedell, 30 years old. She knew that she should report the presence of this Union officer to the Confederate army, but she wouldn’t. This is how she explained it: “I kept wondering if he had a wife somewhere, hoping, and not knowing—just as I was. It seemed to me that the only thing that mattered was to get her husband back to her.”
Slowly, patiently, skillfully, Aunt Bettie fanned the spark of life in Henry Bedell. Of drugs or medicines she had almost none. And she was not willing to take any from the few supplies at the Confederate hospital. But she did the best she could with what she had.
The October nights in the valley grew cold. With the help of Dick and his wife, she moved the Union officer at night, to a hidden room above the warm kitchen of her own home. But the next day, Bedell had a high fever. Knowing that she must get help, she went to her family doctor, Graham Osborne. Dr. Osborne examined Bedell and said, “there was little hope unless proper medicines could be found.”
“I’ll get them from the Yankees at Harpers Ferry.” Bettie said. The doctor told her that Harpers Ferry was almost 20 miles away. Even if she reached them, the Yankees would never believe her. “I’ll take proof,” Bettie said. She found a blood-spotted paper bearing the official War Department seal (印章). “When I show it, they’ll believe me.”
Early the next morning she set off with a list of medical items. For five hours she drove, stopping only to rest her horse. The sun was almost down when she finally stood before the general at Harpers Ferry. The general listened, but did not believe her. “Madam,” he said, “Bedell’s death was reported to us.” “He’s alive,” Bettie insisted. “But he won’t be much longer unless he has the medicines on that list.” “Well,” the general turned to a junior officer, “see that Mrs. Van Metre gets the supplies.”
With the medicines, Bedell gradually recovered. Ten days later he was walking with sticks. “I’d better go back as soon as possible.” Bedell told Bettie. So it was arranged that Dick should help Bettie deliver Bedell to Harpers Ferry in his wagon. Bedell lay down in a box filled with hay, his rifle and sticks beside him.
At Harpers Ferry, the soldiers were amazed when the Union officer with the missing leg rose from his hay-filled box. Bedell told the story to Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, who wrote a letter of thanks to Bettie and signed an order to free James Van Metre. It was arranged for Bedell to go with Bettie as she searched for her husband. Records showed that a James Van Metre had been sent to a prison camp in Ohio. Then at Fort Delaware, near the end of the line of prisoner, a tall man stepped out and walked clumsily into Bettie’s arms. Bettie held him, tears streaming down her face. And Henry Bedell, standing by on his sticks, wept, too.
【1】What might be Bettie’s tone when she used the underlined sentence to describe the first sight of Henry Bedell?
A. Pessimistic B. Desperate C. Shocked D. Sympathetic.
【2】Why wouldn’t Bettie report the presence of Bedell to the Confederate army.
A. Because she felt it her responsibility to save soldiers of the Union.
B. Because she wanted to save Bedell so that her husband could be freed.
C. Because Bedell was more a suffering human being than an enemy to Bettie.
D. Because Bedell begged Bettie not to give him away to the Confederate army.
【3】Dr. Osborn thought it was ______ of Bettie Van Metre to drive to Harpers Ferry for the medicines.
A. crazy B. kind .C. brave D. smart
【4】 Still recovering, Henry Bedell decided to leave as soon as possible mainly because ______.
A. he was eager to return to the Union to fight
B. he didn’t want to go on putting Bettie in danger
C. he was concerned about his safety at the Van Metre home
D. he could be treated with better medicines back at Harpers Ferry

【題目】In our daily life, it is necessary to make small talk in certain situations. It helps to fill time between people when it is completely quiet. You may not feel like talking with someone else or you are very shy at the beginning, but it is sometimes thought to be rude to say nothing.
People use small talk almost every day. It usually takes place when you meet someone you don’t know at all or someone you’re not familiar with. For example, waitresses and hairdressers often make small talk with their customers. If you happen to be outside when the mailman comes to your door, you might make small talk with him, too.
Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example, you might talk with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. People also make small talk in a doctor’s waiting room, or when they are waiting in a line to buy something. At the office, people make small talk in elevators or lunchrooms, especially if there is a line-up. Mingling(交際) is often required among people who don’t know each other very well at a party. In other words, they are expected to walk around and talk with others.
The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone on a given day. For example, if you see a co-worker in the lounge (休息室) you might say hello and discuss the sports or weather. However, the next time you see each other you might just smile and say nothing. If there is very little noise, it might be the right time to start a pleasant conversation. If someone is reading a book at the bus stop, it is probably not a good idea to start a conversation. Another good time to make small talk is during a break in a meeting when there is nothing important going on. However, it is important to recognize the signal when the other person wants the conversation to stop.
【1】Small talk happens most probably except when _____.
A. you’re having your hair cut
B. you’re having a meeting
C. you’re waiting for a bus
D. you’re waiting in a line to buy something
【2】It is the right time to make small talk when
A. there is nothing important going on during a break in a meeting
B. the other person doesn’t want to start a conversation
C. On the same day, you see a co-worker in the lounge again
D. someone is reading a book at the bus stop
【3】The author develops the last paragraph mainly by _____.
A. giving explanations B. discussing questions
C. telling stories D. providing examples
【4】We can learn from the text that small talk _____.
A. won’t happen among strangers
B. can help to break the silence
C. is often thought to be unnecessary
D. always makes people uncomfortable

【題目】
San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space needle. And, Longview has its squirrel(松鼠) bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark.
The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.
The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.
One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth and that day’s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政會). The council approved, and Council woman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge “Nutty Narrows”.
After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum(鋁) and lengths of fire hose(消防水帶). It cost $1,000. It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.
In 1983, after 20
Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.
【1】The underlined words “getting flattened” in the second paragraph mean “being______”.
A. killed B. guided C. stolen D. raised
【2】The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built to _______.
A. Provide drivers convenient way to pass
B. Honor the builder named Bess LaRiviere
C. Spread 60-foot fire hose
D. Help squirrels cross the highway
【3】The rebuilding of the bridge was because_______.
A. it was made of wood
B. it was too narrow
C. it was too old
D. the repairs were too expensive
【4】The best title for this article would be ______.
A. Nutty Narrows – Passage of Life
B. Lovely squirrels, Warm-hearted Drivers
C. Squirrels, Who Cares?
D. A Worn-out Bridge And Its History

If you're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. __【1】__ Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.
1.Greetings
Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how've you been?” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you're calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it'd be rude to jump right into business. __【2】__
2.Getting to the point
There always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? __【3】_ However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you?”
3.Interrupting without offence
Sometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. __【4】__ Keep in mind when you'd like to interrupt, and be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I'd like to say something here”.
4.Closing the call
This can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes if it's appropriate. _【5】__ Sometimes it's easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you're ready to end the conversation.
A.Use the phrase “I'm just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.
B.Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you've made.
C.You should make a little small talk at the beginning.
