One day an ordinary dog appeared in the ticket office at Campiglia, a busy railroad station on Italy's main line. A ticket agent named Elvio greeted the strange dog in a friendly way, so the dog decided to stay. From that day on, the dog became Elvio's shadow and was named Lampo.

      Lampo kept Elvio Company (陪伴) inside the ticket office. When the weather was warm, he would enjoy himself in the sun on the train platform. When it came time for Elvio to return home on the train at night, Lampo ran after the train for a long way and then sadly gave up and went back to the station.

      One night as Elvio was riding home on the train, he noticed that Lampo was lying at his feet. Afraid that the conductor would see the dog on the train and shout at him, Elvio pushed Lampo under a seat. Luckily, the conductor did not notice the dog. Lampo came home with Elvio and met his family. Then, after a short visit, Lampo boarded the last train and went back to the station. Lampo quickly learned all of the train schedules (時刻表). He would ride home from work with Elvio every night and then ride back to the station alone. Every morning, Lampo arrived at Elvio's house in time to walk his young daughter, Mivna, to school. The faithful dog would then take another train to travel again to accompany Mivna home from school at 11:30.

      Soon, Lampo began to take the train all over Italy. Lampo became famous among the men who worked on the railroad, as his journeys became more frequent, complicated and mysterious. No one could explain why he traveled or how he always found the right train back to Campiglia. People decided that Lampo was a unique dog.

     Some of the railroad officials were against Lampo's illegal travels. They were afraid he would bite a passenger or cause some other problems. Finally, the stationmaster threatened to call the dogcatcher if Elvio didn't get rid of the dog.

       Elvio decided to put Lampo on a train going as far away as possible. Months went by and Lampo did not come back. Mivna missed him very much and prayed for his return. Finally one day, a sad, very thin, tired Lampo returned to Elvio's office. Everyone, even the stationmaster, was sorry about what had happened. From then on, Lampo was allowed to ride the trains whenever he wanted. After seven years, Lampo grew old, and he began to need Elvio's help to board the train.

      One day Lampo was seen lying dead on the tracks. A year later, a life sized statue of Lampo was set up at Campiglia station.

66. The first time Lampo took the train, Elvio was ______.

 A. delighted that he was lucky                                

 B. afraid the dog would bite someone

66---70   CDDDB  


解析:

66.答案:C。

解析:這是一道細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段的信息Afraid that the conductor would see the dog on the train and shout at him, Elvio pushed Lampo under a seat.可知,當Lampo第一次乘火車時,Elvio害怕列車員發(fā)現(xiàn)他的狗會生氣。shout at sb.or sth.的意思是沖某人或某物大聲喊叫。

67.答案:D。

解析:這是一道細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第四段的信息Lampo became famous among the men who worked on the railroad, as his journeys became more frequent, complicated and mysterious. No one could explain why he traveled or how he always found the right train back to Campiglia. People decided that Lampo was a unique dog.可知,Lampo 是一條很特別的狗。unique的意思是“獨一無二的”。

68.答案:D。

解析:這是一道細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第五段中的最后一句話Finally, the stationmaster threatened to call the dogcatcher if Elvio didn't get rid of the dog.可知,最后,火車站站長恐嚇說,如果Elvio不除掉狗,他會叫抓狗的人把狗抓走。

69.答案:D。

解析:這是一道判斷題。通讀整篇文章,只有選項D中所說內容沒有在短文中提到。

70.答案:B。

解析:這是一道推理判斷題。從全文及倒數(shù)第二段可知,Lampo最后成了人們的朋友,無論是車站員工還是過往的乘客。

People say time is relative.But relative to what.I do know that sometimes time“seems”to be moving slower.Remember Christmas Eve when you were a child? It was the longest night of the year.It lasted forever! And now it seems like I just paid my bill yesterday...a(chǎn)nd it’s due again!  
People tell me all too frequently…I need more time! Oh ,really?…Mother Teresa,Michelangelo,and Helen Keller all had 24 hours a day.Look what they did with their time!
Is it that we need to manage our time better…or our priorities(重點)?You’ve heard the expression“first things first.”The first step in understanding the power of time is to understand that it is limited.Why is it then that some people get a lot more done? We know the answer.They use their time smartly.   
One day an expert on time management was speaking to a group of students and announced a quiz.He pulled out a wide-mouthed jar.Next,he placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks,one at a time , into the jat, until no more would fit.“Is it full?” he asked.”Yes,”responds the class.”O(jiān)h really?” he asked.So he took out a bucket of gravel(砂礫), which he managed to work down into the spaces between the larger rocks.“Is it full now?” he asked.
Wising up,one answered,‘'Probably not.”Sure enough, he took out a bucket of sand,which he poured into the empty spaces.”Is it full now?” he asked.”No,” reply the students confidently.So he took a glass of water and filled it in.Then he asked,“What is my point?’’
One said,‘'No matter how full your schedule is,if you try really hard,you can always fit some more things into it!”
“No,”the speaker replied,“It tells us if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you’ll never get them in at all.’’
What are the big rocks? The things you should put in to your jar first.
The rich don’t get 25 hours and the poor don’t get 23…we all get the same.Let’s use them wisely! Invest your time wisely!
49.What does the point of the quiz lie in_______.
A.How to put more things into ajar. B.How well the students learn the lesson.
C.How to get more done in limited time      D.The skill and order is very important.
50. “The big rocks”in this passage refers to_______?
A.difficult points.        B.a(chǎn)dvantages     C.minor things           D.focuses
51. How is the passage mainly developed?
A.By inferring.             B.By comparing.
C.By listing examples.        D.By giving facts.
52. The text is written mainly            
A.to explain the origin of the expression “first things first”
B.to call on us to use our time in a smart manner   
C.to introduce a meaningful class given by an expert
D.to tell us about the relativity and the power of time
