解析:

本文主要講述一位加油站的伙計(jì)從收音機(jī)上得知某銀行遭搶劫后，根據(jù)收音機(jī)上報(bào)道的有關(guān)劫犯所乘汽車的顏色、型號、車號以及逃跑方向等信息，智擒劫犯的故事。

1. B。根據(jù)下文的 Here’s a fellow who just walks into a bank and…中的 bank 可知答案。

2. D。比較四個選項(xiàng)，只有 break into(闖入，破門而入)的意思在此最合語境。

3. A。just walk into a bank and… 指搶劫犯得錢之容易，與接下來說的 Todd 自己為開一家加油站籌錢之艱辛形成對照。其余幾個選項(xiàng) looks(看)，marches(行軍)，drives(開車)在些均不合語境。

4. C。help oneself to sth 有兩個主要用法：一是表示自助吃東西(尤其用作請人吃東西時的客套話)，二是表示擅自取用某物或偷某物。

5. B。與上文講到的劫犯來錢之容易相對比，Todd 為了籌錢辦這個加油站遇到了不少困難(difficulty)。

6. D。he needed 是定語從句，修飾 the amount of money。指為辦加油站所需資金。

7. C。根據(jù)常識，借錢肯定要自己提出申請，然后經(jīng)有關(guān)部門審批。所以這里說 so many papaers to sing。

8. A。由于句子主語是 news(收音機(jī)所報(bào)道的消息)，比較四個選項(xiàng)，只有 A(continued)、B(lasted)兩項(xiàng)與句子主語較吻合，但 lasted與其后的 twenty minutes later 搭配顯然語境不通。

9. D。根據(jù)故事情節(jié)，兇手殺人搶錢后不可能去 bought 或borrowed 一輛汽車來逃走，至于選項(xiàng) C (stolen)則與下文提到的 and then pushed out the driver 不符。

10. D。兇手?jǐn)r車的目的是要乘車逃跑，所以他把司機(jī)“推”(pushed)出車外。

11. C。head for 為動詞短語，其意為“前往”、“趕往”、“逃往”（使用時通常用進(jìn)行時態(tài)）。

12. D。注意空格后作定語的介詞短語 of the announcer，由于 Todd 是在聽收音機(jī)，也就是在職聽 the voice of the announcer。

13. A。look out for 為固定短語，意為“留心”、“留意”。

14. B。比較四個選項(xiàng)再結(jié)合一般常識可知答案。

15. C。do service to 的意思是“為…做服務(wù)”，這里指給汽車加油。

16. A。根據(jù)常識可知，這是 Todd 的一種本能反應(yīng)，即聽到收音機(jī)上報(bào)道的消息后，本能在站起來往外看。

17. B。從下文看，兇手最終還是來到了他的加油站，這說明前面報(bào)道的兇手逃走的 the Southern State Parkway 就在 Todd 加油站的附近一帶，所以盡管天很黑，他仍然 knew the Southern State Parkway was out there。

18. A。just then 意為“就在此時”，即就在 Todd 往外看著“發(fā)呆”的時候。

19. C。從下文看，這輛車是前來加油(gas)。

20. B。根據(jù)上文的 License plate number LJR 1939 以及本后面的LJR 1939，可知此處應(yīng)填 number。

21. A。make a decision 意為“作決定”，與前面的 What should I do 為同一方面的意思。

22. D。根據(jù)前面的問句 “Yes, sir?” 可知，此處應(yīng)填 asked。

23. B。fill up 是固定短語，意為“裝滿”、“填滿”。句中的 her 指 the car。

24. C。兇手強(qiáng)作鎮(zhèn)靜，講話的聲音裝得與其他司機(jī)(driver)講話的聲音沒有兩樣。

25. B。根據(jù) hands up(舉起手來)和 get out(出來)這兩個短語的含義，可知此處只有填 and 最合句意。

Working AT home is increasing in popularity as a means of escaping from nine-to-five office life. Why work under the constant watch of your boss when you can work in front of the TV in your carpet slippers? Armed with all the office essentials—telephone, computer, e-mail and fax, many workers believe they can work as effectively as their colleagues in the office. Being able to work wherever you like: from a busy city to a beautiful village, and make working from home an attractive choice, you can even work on a canal boat, like one Internet firm in the Midlands, US.

       So what will become of the office of tomorrow? I believe it is likely that many could disappear into cyberspace. To minimize office overheads in inner-city areas, companies will apply a workforce made up of a network of home workers linked by an advanced communication and information system. A central processing computer would be controlled by the manager who sends out work schedules and oversees the activity of each employee.

As a successor to the Web Cam, a video screen would be created, as the need for more natural form of interaction than e-mail or telephone becomes greater. Capturing the mood and expressions of work colleagues, managers would have the ability to view several employees at once on their screen. Employees would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to fellow workers into the computer to make the company work more effectively. As the company's life blood, the computer would contain a record of all conversations and correspondence for future reference, and hold confidential information such as accounts in password protected areas. In the office of tomorrow, with daily life captured in detail, the case for firing employees could be more clear cut.

6．The first paragraph mainly focuses on _________.

       A. the office to working at home                       B. preference to working at home

       C. working effectively in the office                    D. one Internet firm in the Midlands, UK

7．The office of the future will be ________.

       A. in space                                                      B. a network

C. in inner-city areas                                        D. a central processing computer

8．In Paragraph 2, the word “ oversee” probably means “_________”.

       A. overlook                  B. organize                   C. make out                  D. watch over

9．A video screen would be built because _________.

       A. the Web Cam needs it                                          B. it is useful to fellow workers

       C. e-mail or telephone is out of date                   D. managers can clearly spot employees

10．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

       A. You can get accounts without password.

       B. Computers would record workers’ blood types.

       C. You can get informationg of your fellow workers easily.

       D. Firing employees in the office of tomorrow could be largely reduced.

    When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly ad possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk(冒…危險(xiǎn))being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.

   “Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby(喜好), especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.

    Although anyone can do it , storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season.

Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement . “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing.    “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”

    However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature, It is the greatest show on Earth.”

56. For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to          .

A. head straight for the center of the storm  B. get into the car for safety

C. wait patiently for the storm to develop    D. collect information about a coming storm

57. Beginners of storm chasing are advised             .

A. not to drive in a heavy rain                           B. to do it in an organized way

C. not to get too close to a storm                 D. to spend more time on it in summer

58. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that             .

A. storm chasing costs a lot of money          B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting

C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid          D. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth

59. What can we learn from the text?

A.  Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment

B.  Many storm chasers get killed in the storms.

C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.

D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
