【題目】The man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other.

“Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.

“And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered.

The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident (自信). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.

The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (數(shù)字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,” he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.” Robert noticed the word “may”. He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.

【1】In the story the Financial Controller was a person who was in charge of______.

A. EBC programs. B. EBC money.

C. both B and A. D. Robert’s department’s programs.

【2】“Your request is out of the question.” Here “outof the question” means______.

A. possible. B. impossible.

C. with some question. D. without any question

【3】Robert decided to make more programs because_________.

A. “the FC” disliked him

B. he wanted to meet the needs of the listeners.

C. he wanted to show himself off.

D. the members of his department wanted him to do so.

【4】Who do you think won the argument(爭(zhēng)論)in the end?

A. Nobody. B. The listeners.

C. Robert. D. The Financial Controller.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于記敘文，敘述了Robert向公司負(fù)責(zé)財(cái)務(wù)的Financial Controller申請(qǐng)資金的小故事。

【1】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第三句He made all the decisions about money.可知Financial Controller負(fù)責(zé)公司里的財(cái)務(wù)問題。故B正確。

【2】B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第二句Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow.可知Robert聽到對(duì)方這樣說，很難控制自己。說明對(duì)方不同意他的請(qǐng)求，所以“Your request is out of the question.”意為“不可能”。故B正確。

【3】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段后兩句“Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered.可知因?yàn)樵絹碓蕉嗟娜寺犓墓?jié)目，人們對(duì)節(jié)目的要求很高。所以他想滿足聽眾的需要，對(duì)節(jié)目做更多的投資。故B正確。

【4】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后兩句Robert noticed the word “may”. He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.可知Financial Controller承認(rèn)自己可能犯錯(cuò)，所以他很可能會(huì)批準(zhǔn)這筆錢，同時(shí)Robert對(duì)此也有自信。故C項(xiàng)正確。

Ransom Myers of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia warned, using solid science and careful analysis, of the dangers of overfishing. He didn’t mince words and he wasn’t afraid to report bad news. As the Guelph Mercury reported, the 54-year-old biologist, originally from Mississippi, was known for his research and warnings about the extinction of marine life around the world.

He developed a passion for marine protection during his days in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, where he worked for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans at a time when the industry was watching the collapse (崩潰) of the cod (鱈魚) fishery. He became, says the Guelph Mercury, a lone, unpopular voice in the discussion about the cause of the collapse, insisting overfishing was the main factor. The world was spending its energy fighting over the few fish left instead of cutting catch limits before it was too late.
He warned governments, the fishing industry and consumers, that unless commercial fishing was reduced, many large marine species would become extinct, leading to economic disruptions, food shortages, and lasting damage to marine ecosystems. He said his conclusions were shocking because people had lost sight of the true effect of the declines and they did not look back far enough in history. In other words, he said, “We’ve forgotten how big fish used to be and how many of them once lived in the sea.”

【1】Ransom Myers was known for his scientific work in _____.

A. physics B. chemistry C. biology D. economics

【2】The underlined sentene “He didn’t mince words” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_____”.

A. He always kept his promises

B. He was spoken highly of by his workmates

C. He was not good at giving lectures

D. He said exactly what he thought

【3】Which of the following is NOT true about Ransom Myers?

A. He became interested in marine protection when the cod fishery was in danger of collapse.

B. He wrote a book about the history of marine protection.

C. He suggested that commercial fishing should be reduced.

D. Many people turned a deaf ear to his warnings about the dangers of overfishing.

【4】According to Ransom Myers, the reason why people found his conclusions shocking was that _____.

A. they didn’t have a good knowledge of the living habits of fish

B. they could still catch a great many big cod

C. they didn’t know the great differences between the present and the past marine fishery

D. they thought his research was not based on a detailed analysis

I’m a senior 3 student. The college entrance exams are in the way and everyone around us is trying their best to help me. At school, all the teachers work very hardly, encouraging us to build up our confidence. Wherever we meet with difficulties, they are ready to come to our help. Meanwhile, our school also did a lot for us. For example, the library stays open up in the evenings. At home, we are also taken well care of and our parents often tell us to have good rest. I’m very grateful to the efforts of our parents and teachers. I’m determining to try my best to prepare for the exams.

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 【1】 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 【2】 However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

【3】 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that in speaking, your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, talking to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can.Even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter. 【4】

The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主動(dòng)的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 【5】

A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.

B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C.However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!

D. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.

E. The second reason lies in the reluctance （勉強(qiáng)）of using what has just been learned.

F. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

G. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

It was raining hardly outside, that made it difficult for me to go home for lunch. Just as I was wondering what I should eat at noon, I saw a familiar figure passed by our classroom. I rushed out and it was my mother, who is already in the fifties, that brought me lunch, in spite the heavy rain. In China, many parents make great sacrifices for our children. But what had the children done in return？All too often, most children just take it for granted that their parents should serve for them unconditionally.
