Frank Smithson woke up and got up to turn off the alarm clock(鬧鐘). “Oh no!” he thought to himself. “Another day at that office; a boss (老板) who shouts at me all the time.”
As Frank went downstairs, his eyes fell on a large brown envelope (信封) by the door. He was very happy when he opened it and read the letter inside. “Bigwoods Football Pools (足球賭博公司) would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds（英鎊）.”
Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette fell from his lips (唇) as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.
At 11:30 Frank arrived at work. “Please explain why you're so late,” his boss said. “Go and jump in the lake,” said Frank. “I've just come into a little money so this is good-bye. Find yourself someone else to shout at.”
That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar (雪茄) when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men, neatly dressed in grey suits. “Mr. Smithson,” one of them said, “we're from Bigwoods Pools. I'm afraid there's been a terrible mistake…”
小題1:What do we know about Frank from the passage?
A．He was a lazy man.　　B．He was a lucky person.
C．He had made a lot of money.D．He got on well with his boss.
小題2:When he heard the knock at the door, Frank probably thought _________.
A．someone had come to say sorry to him
B．someone had come to give him the money
C．his friends had come to ask about the football pools
D．his friends had come to congratulate him on his luck
小題3:On hearing “…there's been a terrible mistake…”, Frank was most likely to be_____.
A．disappointed (失望的)B．worriedC．gratefulD．curious

小題1:A
小題2:B
小題3:A

試題分析：這篇短文為我們講述了一個(gè)關(guān)于Frank的故事。Frank在公司里總是挨老板的罵。有一天他收到了一個(gè)足球賭博公司的信，信上說他中了很多錢。Frank很高興，在老板又要責(zé)罵他的時(shí)候，他毫不猶豫的進(jìn)行了反擊。但是那天晚上兩個(gè)人來找Frank，說那個(gè)足球賭博公司可能寄錯(cuò)了信。
小題1:推理判讀題。根據(jù)文章的第一句話Frank Smithson woke up and got up to turn off the alarm clock，F(xiàn)rank醒來關(guān)掉鬧鐘，由此我們可以推斷Frank是一個(gè)比較懶惰的人。B選項(xiàng)說他是一個(gè)幸運(yùn)的人，由故事的結(jié)尾我們可以知道他并不幸運(yùn)；C選項(xiàng)說他賺了很多錢，由故事的結(jié)尾我們也可以知道這不是真的；D選項(xiàng)說他和老板相處的好，由文章的意思我們知道這是不對(duì)的。故選A。
小題2:推理判讀題。根據(jù)文章的最后when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door.當(dāng)Frank聽到敲門聲的時(shí)候他沖到了門邊，我們可以推斷出Frank心情很激動(dòng)，所以他一定是認(rèn)為他中了很多錢，現(xiàn)在是送錢的人來了。故選B。
小題3:推理判讀題。當(dāng)聽到…there's been a terrible mistake…,有一個(gè)可怕的錯(cuò)誤的時(shí)候，F(xiàn)rank感覺怎樣。我們首先推斷一下這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤是什么，之前我們知道Frank以為自己中了獎(jiǎng)，但現(xiàn)在這個(gè)足球賭博公司的人卻說他們犯了一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤，那么這個(gè)錯(cuò)誤肯定跟他的中獎(jiǎng)有關(guān)，既然錯(cuò)了，那么也就是說其實(shí)Frank并沒有中獎(jiǎng)，所以這個(gè)時(shí)候Frank應(yīng)該是感到很失望，故選A。

Long long ago, there lived two girls named Emily and Tina. Both of them had long black hair and blue eyes. One day while they were playing in the back yard (庭院), Emily heard a tinkling (叮當(dāng)) sound. She jumped up. “Listen,” she told her twin. They listened. The noise came again.
This time Tina heard it. She sat up. “It came from over there,” She whispered, looking at the zinnias (魚尾菊) far away. They came near to find it out. Then something flew out, making the same tinkling sound they had heard before. The children looked at one another. “Was it a bee?” asked Tina. “I don’t think so,” replied Emily. “Do bees make a sound like bells?” “Let’s call it the Tinkle Bee anyway,” said Tina.

“Fish stories” are stories of the greatest fish that a fisherman has almost caught, but for some reason, the fish always get away. Usually, these stories do not have much truth to them. One of the biggest fish stories in history was about a whale.
In 1891, a ship hunting for whales in the South Atlantic Ocean found a very large whale. While the hunters were trying to kill the whale, it sank two small boats. One man drowned, and another man, James Bartley, was lost in the ocean. However, after the hunters finally killed the whale, they cut open the whale’s stomach and found Mr Bartley inside. He was not dead!
Several weeks later, Mr Bartley seemed to have gotten over his terrible experience. The only thing he could remember was that while he was inside the whale, it was very hot. The liquid (液體) from the whale’s stomach had turned all of his skin snow white. Mr Bartley had to live with the effect from the whale for the rest of his life.
Today, many people have heard about the strange experience of Mr Bartley and do not buy it. Not one real fact has been found to prove that the events ever took place described by the sailors. No scientist or newspaper reporter was ever able to talk to Mr Bartley, and all of the stories told in magazines about Mr Bartley’s experience were explained by other sailors on the boat. Mr Bartley was probably not even a real person at all.
In 1928, after the captain (船長) of the whaling ship had died, one man asked the captain’s wife about Mr Bartley’s story. The wife said that no man who had sailed on her husband’s ship was ever swallowed by a whale.
However, this has not stopped James Bartley’s story from being repeated, and many people today still believe that it is true.
小題1:What made Mr Bartley’s skin white?
A．The ocean water.B．The whale’s teeth.
C．The heat inside the whale.D．The liquid in the whale’s stomach.
小題2: Who may have talked to Mr Bartley?
A．A scientist.B．The captain’s wife.
C．The sailors on the ship.D．A newspaper reporter.
小題3:The captain’s wife said that       .
A．the story was not trueB．her husband told her the story
C．the whale was never foundD．Mr Bartley didn’t work for her husband
小題4:Today, many people have heard about the strange experience of Mr Bartley and do not buy it. Here “buy” means       .
A．明白B．相信C．購買D．證明
小題5: In paragraph 4 and paragraph 5 we may know that Mr Bartley       .
A．became a writer laterB．died when he was young
C．told his story to a magazine reporterD．was not even a real person at all

They enjoyed themselves there and could do anything they wanted. On the third morning they decided to get back to the land. But their boat hit a rock and soon went down.
