The Pecan Thief
When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather’s
farm in Kansas. Grandpa had sent me into the  36  to gather
pecans for us to enjoy later.
Pecan picking was really  37  work and my little basket
was only half full. I wasn’t about to  38  Grandpa down. Just
then something caught my  39  . A large brown squirrel was
a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and   40  in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel  41  out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
Not so  42  anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was   43  with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my  44 . Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so  45  of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.   46  , I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d   47 the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that  48  me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently  49  my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter  50  of food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will  51  the cold winter? ”
“I didn’t think about that, ” I said.
“I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take  52  of someone else’s hard work.”
Suddenly I felt a bit  53  . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn’t   54  my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.
I didn’t eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filling—the  55  of knowing I had done just the right thing.

第一節(jié):閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A,B,C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
Trouve sat up on its back legs arid growled(吼叫)the words “How are you, Grandmama?” The audience roared with laughter and clapped. Twenty-year-old Aleck gave the dog a morsel(一口)of food. His hard wok paid off. His dog could talk!
Aleck was fascinated with the different sounds of people’s speech. His father taught students who had a speech problem to improve their speech. Aleck paid close attention. Could an animal form sounds into words, too? He decided to experiment with Trouve, the family dog.
The easy part was teaching Trouve to growl whenever Aleck wanted. The little dog growled for a morsel of food.
Next Aleck moved the dog’s “l(fā)ips’ as it growled. It sounded like “ma ma ma.” Trouve learned quickly to stop the growling just as Aleck’s hand moved away. They practiced and practiced until the dog said “ma ma” perfectly.
Soon Aleck discovered more. If he pushed gently under the dog’s jawbone(下顎骨), it made the “ga” sound. If he pushed once and moved the dog’s lips twice, he could make the dog say, “ga ma ma”. With even more practice, it sounded like “grandmama.” Whenever Trouve said “grandmam,” Aleck gave the god two treats, so Trouve loved the lessons.
Aleck tried to teach his dog to move its tongue. So that Trouve could say more words. That didn’t work, but Aleck didn’t give up.
After many hours of practice, Trouve could say, “Ow ah oo ga-ma-ma?” This sounded just like “How are you, Grandmama?”
Friends and neighbors traveled to see young Aleck and his amazing talking dog. Rumors spread that the dog could speak by itself, which wasn’t true. No matter how much Aleck tried, the dog was never able to move its lips without help.
Aleck’s full name was Alexander Graham Bell. He wanted to know more about the world all his life. He had many ideas. Some worked; others didn’t. But he kept trying—always learning; One of his inventions was something called the telephone.
41.Which of the following is TRUE of Aleck?
A.His father had an influence on him.      
B.He had a talent for giving speeches.
C.He taught Trouve to talk in honor of his grandmother.
D.He carried out many experiments to improve people’s speech.
42.Trouve grew fond of practicing talking because         .
A.it liked being together with Aleck  B.it was given some food for that
C.it would like to develop its potential      D.Aleck treated it like one of the family
43.Which of the following words can best describe Aleck?
A.Humorous.      B.Naughty.  C.Knowledgeable.       D.Curious.
44.What contributes most to Aleck’s success in teaching the dog to talk?
A.His own hard work.         B.His neighbor’s help.
C.His father’s encouragement.    D.The dog’s smartness.

The repairman told me, “No charge Professor Pan! We’re friends.” “I’d rather pay,” I replied.“If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”
Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, "We’re friends now!" But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!
According to the Americans, "There’s no free lunch," meaning that there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means.Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return.For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him."Wait until you have something major to fix! "he insists.
I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind(磨)flour for bread.A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花崗石).
Chinese generosity(慷慨)is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (糾紛) and just hand over the money.But cash can’t compensate(補償)for the greatest gift--friendship.
When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping(呷)tea, he said, "They  must have nothing better to do.""Actually, "I said, "they are professors, with plenty to do.But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do.And neither do I!" And I joined the group.We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived.One man said, "They were pocket-sized when you came here.Now
they’re taller than you.How time flies!"
How life flies.And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep.They freely give of their time, never too busy to help a friend.And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.So the next time someone says, "No charge.We’re friends! " I will thank them heartily.But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.
64.The author insisted on paying repairman while he was offered free repairs because he     .
A.was an honest man
B.didn’t know the repairman
C.thought it natural to pay for others’ service
D.didn’t want to help others in return
65.Generally, the author thinks that Chinese are _________.
A.generous and always ready to help their friends
B.good at exchange of equal values
C.free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends
D.helpful but don’t treasure time
66.The best title of the passage should be “       ”.
A.Learn to Both Give And Receive    B.A Good Lesson from Chinese
C.True Help or Not                   D.Still No Free Lunch
67.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The Chinese would rather not take the money to avoid problems in social communication.
B.When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself.
C.The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life.
D.The author thinks little of Chinese way of life.

Situated in the South West of England, between Exeter and Plymouth, Torquay is one of the most popular holiday resorts(度假勝地)in Britain. It provides sophisticated(精致)entertainment, sports of every kind and cultural facilities, all set in a position of outstanding natural beauty. Visitors can choose between luxury hotels by the sea, with private suites(套房),swimming pools and saunas, and comfortable but less expensive guest houses. There are camping sites, too, and hundreds of houses displaying“B & B”signs.
As well as a number of small quiet bays, which are ideal for beach barbecues away from the crowds, Torquay has large sandy beaches where you can buy refreshments(飲料)and hire deck chairs, boats and even beach huts. There are large areas of grassland overlooking the sea, and miles of winding cliff paths for walkers who just want to enjoy the scenery and what is often said to be the healthiest air in the country. For the sportsmen and women there are opportunities not only for golf, tennis, squash and bowls, but also for water-skiing, hang-gliding and deep-sea fishing.
After a day in the open air, there’s lots to do in the evenings, too. There are plenty of discos, the occasional opera or ballet, and summer variety shows in the seafront theatres. For the children, there is a beautiful model village with a complicated railway layout which is remarkably realistic-especially when the lights are all on at night.
Of course, there’s no need to spend your whole holidays in Torquay. Only a short drive away is Dartmoor National Park, where you can walk for miles through dramatic, unspoiled countryside, or picnic by beautiful rivers and streams. Or, nearer to home, you can sail across Tor Bay to the lovely old fishing village of Brixham.
Torquay seems to have something for everyone. But don’t take my word for it-come and see for yourself.
41.Which of the following best explains what “B & B” means on the signs?

第三部分 閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
After 10 seasons wearing the No.8 on his back,Kobe Bryant will become No.24 next season.The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.
Bryant wore No.24 when he was in early high school,but he changed to No.33 in his senior year.He switched to No.8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996,and has not been changed since.
Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs.So guessing Bryant’s motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists.
There are all kinds of speculations(猜測).Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start.He has often been criticized for phying to benefit himself and not the team as a whole.Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan.Jordan was famous for his No.23 jersey(運動衫).Some,such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre,argue that it is“all about money”.Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.
Some speculations are more about fun.For example,there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard fan of the popular TV drama“24”.
All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue.It seems that there is a lot of fuss over something that should be pretty simple.
Jersey numhers have their own special significance in American sports,especially basketball.
Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career.When a great player retires,his team will honor him by retiring his number.
To some extent,the jersey is the player,and the player is the jersey.Thus,when you see the famous No.23 for the Chicago Bulls,you immediately think about Michael Jordan.A No.32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O’Neal,and the Houston Rockets’No.11 belongs only to Yao Ming.
56.Which team has Bryant played for?
A.The Los Angeles Lakers.         B.The Houston Rockets.
C.The Chicago Bulls.               D.The Miami Heats.
57.Bryant has worn No 8________?
A.for two years and a half             B.for ten years
C.since he entered high school         D.since he left high school
58.Which of the following is NOT a speculation about Bryant’s motive to change his number?
A.He wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start.
B.He wants to compare himself to Jordan.
C.He wants to earn more money.
D.He wants to show that he is a man of great importance.
59.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.When a great player retires,his team will reward him with much money.
B.A lucky number will be passed on to a new player.
C.An outstanding player’s jersey number won’t be used after his retirement.
D.A great player often changes his jersey number in the same team

Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry. Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.
“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option(可選擇) but a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok(曼谷) earlier this month.
With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.
Face-to-face video calls
Don’t worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.
However, the most impressive(印象深刻的) part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.
Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued(發(fā)放) five license(執(zhí)照) to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.
International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.
“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “We expect that the 3G licenses will be issued late next year.”
Third-generation mobile phones (3G mobile phones)
(1) ______________
a. Data speed: (2) ______________ than present technology
b. Video and (3) _____ music
c. Video news programs: (4) ________ four times a day
d. Internet access: quicker and (5) __________
Impressive functions
a. Offer (6) __________ services, helping you find your way
b. Provide two-way video (7) ____________
3G phones in China
a. China is busy (8) ________ its 3G-based technologies, networks and services.
b. 3G phones should go through a (9) _______ period before being put into market.
c. 3G phones are expected to be seen (10) _______ next year.
