One day in January, my uncle, my cousin and I decided to go hunting．We left by car in the afternoon．It was a Range Rover with four-wheel drive．It took us three hours to get there．After we arrived at 5:15 p．m．, we fixed the tent, then made coffee and had a short rest．After that, we went hunting, using a falcon（獵鷹）．We spent two hours without finding anything．On our way back to the camp, my cousin saw a rabbit．I removed the falcon’s bead cover and let go of the aggressive falcon．When the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran fast, but my falcon was a professional hunter．He flew up and came down to trick the rabbit．After two minutes, the rabbit was caught．We took it back to the camp to cook our dinner．We ate the delicious food, drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 p．m．
We left the camp the next day at 7 o’clock in the morning．We went north．However, around 10:00 a．m．our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the car without any progress．Finally, we decided to walk．As it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40km in the desert, I decided to get help myself．I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone．I knew the way well, but it was a long way in the sand．I walked more than four hours without stopping．When I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to rest．I drank all the water and slept for around two hours．
When I got up, it was dark．I continued to walk south．I was worried about my uncle and cousin．Suddenly, I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camel．He took me to his house．When I had had enough rest, I asked him to take me to the road where I found a car．It took me to the city to get help．I had one day to get back to my uncle and cousin．When I got back to them, they were so happy because I had gotten help and they were able to see me again．

It was not yet eleven o’clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare.
While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pockets for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger’s figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred（長大的）, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had sheltered the grayer head of the lad’s father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped-features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature’s gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment(裝飾).
The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis（都市）of a New England colony.
小題1:What time of the year was it in this story?
A．Winter.B．Fall.C．Summer.D．Spring.
小題2:The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because ________.
A．he was going to row across the river anyway
B．he saw that Robin was young and rich
C．he would give extra money
D．he felt sorry for him because Robin looked poor
小題3:The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _________.
A．well wornB．very expensiveC．handmadeD．much too big
小題4:From the text we can learn that Robin had traveled __________.
A．from LondonB．from Madrid
C．from a nearby cityD．over thirty miles
小題5:At what time of day did Robin cross the river?
A．Night.B．Late afternoonC．Midday.D．Morning.

People in China, as in other parts of the world, are waiting to see how U.S. President-elect Barack Obama will deal with global problems such as the current economic slowdown once he takes office. As Sam Beattie reports from Beijing, there is widespread hope for closer U.S.-Chinese cooperation.
For many students in Beijing, Mr. Obama symbolizes all that is possible in the United States. He’s a popular winner here, seen as a self-made man who has made it to the top.
"I think he is very charming, and a president who can create a new era," said Zhang Wei, a university student. "I like him very much and most of my friends do too." Ni Weibo, another university student, agrees. "Sino-U.S. relations still need more cooperation," she said. "I think he will help take it to a new era."
China’s President Hu Jintao congratulated Mr. Obama within hours of his victory, saying he hoped bilateral ties could be made stronger.
Political analysts here say China will be looking for the incoming president to avoid contentious issues such as Taiwan’s independence, human rights and Tibet.
Instead, they say Beijing would like Mr. Obama to focus on solving the global economic crisis, and to help China’s slowing economy by opening up U.S. markets.
But trade relations might be a sticking point, says Renmin University’s Professor of International Studies, Shi Yinhong.
He warns, "There is a possibility that President Obama will take some protectionist measures which China will not accept, then trade disputes could develop to a degree that we have not seen ever before."
Despite making the headlines, Mr. Obama faces some tough challenges in managing the U.S. relationship with China. China is now a stronger and more confident country than the China his
predecessors dealt with. And in this time of economic uncertainty, analysts say it’s a country with which Mr. Obama will want to maintain a good relationship.
小題1:What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?
A．Mr. Obama was popular with many students in Beijing mostly because he will take office soon.
B．Economic slowdown is the big problem that the world is facing and looking forward to solve except US
C．China’s President Hu Jintao congratulated Obama on his victory within hours.
D．Through Obama’s being elected, we can see all is possible in US and a new relationship may come.
小題2:What is not mentioned in this passage?
A．What Barack Obama is expected to do in dealing with the US-China relationship.
B．Why Barack Obama will maintain a good relationship with China.
C．How Barack Obama will deal with the current economic slowdown.
D．What image Barack Obama has given to Chinese people.
小題3: What does “ a sticking point”( in para.7 ) mean?
A．a(chǎn) twist pointB．a(chǎn) disputed pointC．a(chǎn) good beginningD．a(chǎn) understanding point
小題4:What is the best title for this report?
A．US-Chinese Cooperation Under the Current Economic Slowdown
B．Obama, Seen As A Popular Winner In China
C．Chinese Want Stronger Ties With US Under Obama Administration
D．The Current Economic Problem faces China As Well As US

Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her. He would    38  to add something, but she stopped him. She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the    39  of her mouth. A careful examination later   40   that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment, I explained to her the   41  of the problem. She clasped my hand in hers and said, “I know you’re worried about me, but I’m just   42  .  ”
I thought otherwise. After considerable   43  on my part, and kindness on her part because she wanted to   44  me, she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon(外科醫(yī)生). She saw him, but as I expected,    45  treatment.

“How are you?” I asked.
“I’m just fine, honey,” she responded   47  high spirits. “When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all, I answered   48  , “Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes. The cancer that had   49  nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness    50  .
I had read of such things happening, but had    51  seen them with my own eyes. That was my first miracle. Since then I've seen many others, because they keep getting   52  to see.

Twenty-first century humanity has mapped oceans and mountains, visited the moon, and surveyed the planets．But for all the progress, people still don’t know one another very well.
That brings about Theodore Zeldin’s “feast of conversation”－events where individuals pair with persons they don’t know for three hours of guided talk designed to get the past “Where are you from?”
Mr．Zeldin, an Oxford University professor, heads Oxford Muse, a 10-year-old foundation based on the idea that what people need is not more information, but more inspiration and encouragement.
The “feast” in London looks not at politics or events, but at how people have felt about work, relations among the sexes, hopes and fears, enemies and authority, the shape of their lives．The “menu of conversation” includes topics like “How have your priorities changed over the years?” Or, “What have you rebelled against the past?”
As participants gathered, Zeldin opened with a speech: that despite instant communications in a globalized age, issues of human heart remain．Many people are lonely, or in routines that discourage knowing the depth of one another．“We are trapped in shallow conversations and the whole point now is to think, which is sometimes painful,” he says．“But thinking interaction is what separates us from other species, except maybe dogs…who do have generations of human interactions.”
The main rules of the “feast”: Don’t pair with someone you know or ask questions you would not answer．The only awkward moment came when the multi-racial crowd of young adults to seniors, in sun hats, ties and dresses, looked to see whom with for hours．But 15 minutes later, everyone was seated and talking, continuing full force until organizers interrupted them 180 minutes later.
“It’s encouraging to see the world is not just a place of oppression and distance from each other,” Zeldin summed up．“What we did is not ordinary, but it can’t be madder than the world already is.”
Some said they felt “l(fā)iberated” to talk on sensitive topics．Thirty-something Peter, from East London, said that “it might take weeks or months to get to the level of interaction we suddenly opened up.”
小題1:What can the “conversations” be best described as?
A．Deep and one-on-one.B．Sensitive and mad.
C．Instant and inspiring.D．Ordinary and encouraging.
小題2:In a “feast of conversations”, participants ______.
A．pair freely with anyone they like
B．have a guided talk for a set of period of time
C．a(chǎn)sk questions they themselves would not answer
D．wear clothes reflecting multi-racial features．
小題3:In paragraph 6, “they would be ‘intimate’” is closest in meaning to “______”.
A．they would have physical contactB．they would have in-depth talk
C．they would be close friendsD．they would exchange basic information
小題4:From the passage, we can conclude that what Zeldin does is ______.
A．a(chǎn)n attempt to promote thinking interaction
B．one of the maddest activities ever conducted
C．a(chǎn) try to liberate people from old-fashioned ideas
D．a(chǎn)n effort to give people a chance of talking freely
