【題目】One evening I was on my daily evening return from London to my home. I had got into the habit of sitting in the last carriage at the platform, so I could get off near to the station exit at my end. One evening before getting off the train, I found a purse. I opened the purse and thought this must be my lucky day, for the purse contained some ￡80 in cash. Looking further into the purse, I found credit cards, and house keys and a name and address. My first thought when seeing the cash was to pocket it, and throw the other contents away.

Now I am not a basically dishonest person, but had developed a hardened attitude over the years that most people were dishonest in some way, and my own personal experience had been that whenever I lost anything of value, that was the last I ever saw of it. And since I was a construction worker at that time, I had been the victim of a great deal of stealing during my working life.

Almost as I read the name and address, I had a picture of that woman being struck with terror, when she realized she had lost her purse, and could not get into her home, had no money, and, would have thoughts of someone spending on her credit cards, not to mention the trouble of canceling all the cards.

In that same moment I decided to hand the purse over to the train guard. So I told him I would like to see it returned to its rightful owner. He told me would be sent to the lost property office. I arrived at my station and started to walk the five minute journey to my home all the while feeling very pleased with myself that I was going to bring a great deal of happiness to someone I did not know.

A. sitting in the last carriage was safer

B. he was always almost late for his train

試題分析：本文是一篇記敘文，講述了我撿到一個(gè)錢包，最開(kāi)始想扔掉其他的物品把現(xiàn)金據(jù)為己有，可是最后由于自己的內(nèi)心的善良而歸還了錢包。文章教會(huì)了我們要誠(chéng)實(shí)。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“.. . so I could get off near to the station exit at my end”可知作者下車后能夠更快地出站，所以C項(xiàng)正確。

【2】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段可知，作者認(rèn)為“在某些方面，多數(shù)人也是不誠(chéng)實(shí)的”，所以B項(xiàng)所述與之相吻合，故選B。

【3】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段，可知作者發(fā)現(xiàn)撿到的錢包里有現(xiàn)金時(shí)，認(rèn)為自己那天很幸運(yùn)，并且打算扔掉其他的所有物品，把現(xiàn)金占為己有。所以根據(jù)這些不難推斷出最使作者動(dòng)心的就是錢包里的“現(xiàn)金” ，故選A。

【3】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第四句“I arrived at my station and started to walk the five minute journey to my home”可知終點(diǎn)站離作者的家只有五分鐘的距離，即二者相距并不遠(yuǎn)，所以D項(xiàng)正確；根據(jù)文章最后一句可知錢包的失主并非是作者的朋友，所以A項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤；B項(xiàng)所述是對(duì)第三段最后一句的誤解；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段可知是作者內(nèi)心的“善良”而不是他的“負(fù)罪感”促使他歸還所撿到的錢包，所以C項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤。

【題目】What’s this by my door? A handwritten letter from am old university friend. It stands out among the bills and junk mail like gold. Given its rareness, the Government should be praised for announcing that the new secondary school should include lessons that teach students how to write personal and business letters in the correct form.

Letter-writing skills have fallen off a lot in the age of eamils and text messages. Many pupils leave school only able to write a letter for a job application, let alone other kinds of letters. You can’t turn back the clock, but you can stick to your own rules to protect old-fashioned values. Someone who leaves school unable to write a letter is going into the adult world unprepared. And if teachers don’t ram home that message, who else will?

Usually, it does not matter whether someone can write a letter or not — other means of communication will serve. And with computerised spell-checks, people can get by for years without the kind of letter-writing skills. But it is the rare occasion that matters when things can not be made clear with a simple text. When the former England cricket(板球) captain Andrew Strauss decided to leave his job, he had sent handwritten letters to his teammates. Many people thought it unbelievable. But among the disbelief there was something else: admiration, even among the Twitter generation(一代).

I have been a letter-writing lover all my adult life, and am just about to sit down and pen a reply to my university friend. And I hope the sight of a letter by his door will give him as much pleasure as his did me.

【1】How did the author feel when receiving the handwritten letter?

A.Disappointed. B.Excited. C.Worried. D.Proud.

【2】The underlined part“ram home that message”in Paragraph 2 means“______”.

A.teach the students the importance of letter writing

B.teach the students how to protect traditional values

C.teach the students the importance of communication

D.teach the students how to write letters of application

【3】The author mentions Andrew Strauss’s example in order to show that________.

A.letter-writing skills are very important

B.handwritten letters can bring admiration

C.handwritten letters are more important than emails

D.whether someone can write a letter makes little difference

【4】What’s the text mainly about?

A.A study on why handwritten letters become less popular.

B.A concern about the bad results of technology.

C.A call for more attention to letter writing.

D.A touching story between two friends.

【題目】Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are... but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.

A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobilephone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.

The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight.

Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity. “

【1】Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.

B. Nine-tenths spend over three hours checking work emails.

C. One-fourth check their first mail between 11 pm and midnight.

D. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 8 am.

【2】The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “ “.

A. calling B. using C. reaching D. getting

【3】What can we conclude from the text?

A. Every coin has two sides

B. It never rains but pours.

C. All that glitters is not gold..

D. It’s no good crying over spilt milk.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Workaholics like smartphones.

B. Employers don’t like smartphones.

C. Smartphones make our life easier.

D. Smartphones bring about extra work.

【題目】On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.

The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peters’ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.

I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own pajamas (睡衣)，so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.

As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time...”.Of course, I finally fell asleep.

The next morning, I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do — I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.

Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened — Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!”

The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I, was spared. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.

【1】The author had to spend the night at Peters' because ________.

A. the famous singer Elvis Presley died that night
