One cold winter evening, some young families and young couples were eating in a McDonald’s when an old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s hand in hand.
Some of the customers looked admiringly at them .You could tell what the admirers were thinking. Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more.” The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation(遲疑) and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped(打開) the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip(吸) of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.
When the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking. “That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.” Then, the man began to eat his French fries, when one young man stood and came over to the old couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. But the old man replied that they were just fine and they were used to sharing everything.
Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn’t eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. When the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly, the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food.
After being politely refused again, he finally asked a question of the little old lady. “Ma’am, why aren’t you eating? You said that you shared everything. What is it that you are waiting for?”
She answered, “The false teeth”.
小題1:According to the first paragraph, the old couple _____.
A．enjoyed the scene outside the McDonald’s
B．didn’t look suitable(合適的) for the environment
C．loved being with young families and couples
D．liked the food in McDonald’s

小題3:The young man who offered to buy the old couple food was _____.

小題4:From the old lady’s answer, we know that _____.
A．she was not interested in the food
B．the couple suffered a terrible toothache
C．the couple were using the same false teeth
D．a(chǎn)ctually she didn’t answer the young man’s question

小題1:B
小題2:D
小題3:C
小題4:C

試題分析：本文講述了一對老夫婦在麥當(dāng)勞吃飯，他們習(xí)慣于分享所有東西，就連他們的假牙也一起使用。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題。前文講到some young families and young couples were eating in a McDonald’s 都是一些年輕人在吃，所以此處老人在這里看起來并不符合這樣的環(huán)境，故選B
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。從文章第二自然段和But the old man replied that they were just fine and they were used to sharing everything.可知，將漢堡包分詞兩半是為了給他的妻子一半，故選D
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)題。前文講到All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.所以的人都以為他們很窮，只能買一份，故這個男同志是非常有同情心的，故選C
小題4:推斷題。通過最后一段She answered, “The false teeth”.可知，他們兩個老人共用一份假牙，故選C

One morning Mrs Smith was driving home after she had done shopping.

Few people ever took notice of Mr. Jimmy Tan whenever he entered a room. He was a shy, quiet and simple man who preferred to keep to himself in public. On the other hand, Mr. Thomas Kim, a fellow scientist, was a man everyone would notice on the streets. He wore bright outfits with huge flower prints, spoke with a booming voice, and his laughter could be heard from all corners of a room. In addition to the differences in their characters, Mr. Kim and Mr. Tan were also great rivals at work in the Institute of Future Science.
On Christmas Eve, everyone left work early to celebrate the special occasion, except for Mr. Tan and Mr. Kim. They were in their laboratory analyzing the results of their latest experiments. Mr. Tan realized that something special was taking place in his experiment —the bacteria he had cultured were growing extremely quickly under high pressure and at a very low temperature. After noting down the findings in his notebook, he left the room to prepare for another round of tests. Shortly after, Mr. Kim entered.
“Hey Jimmy,” Mr. Kim called out, “do you have an extra copy of the laboratory booking form?”
There was no reply, so Mr. Kim looked through Mr. Tan’s things. He soon found Mr. Tan's notebook and was horrified to see that Mr. Tan had managed to make one of the most important discoveries in modern science. He then looked into the deep-freeze cupboard where a dish containing the bacteria was kept. He put them into his pocket and returned to his own laboratory.
Mr. Tan came back an hour later to find his notebook and the dish missing. He knew that Mr. Kim had taken them and went to Mr. Kim's laboratory to find out. When he opened the door, he found Mr. Kim lying on the floor motionless. His face was pale and his skin had turned black. The deadly bacteria had been handled improperly. He shook his head and left.
小題1:From the first paragraph we know Mr. Kim was a quite    person.
A．famousB．hardworking
C．wealthyD．outgoing
小題2:The underlined word "rivals" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to   .
A．enemiesB．colleagues
C．competitors D．friends
小題3:What does the underlined word “them” refer to in the 4th paragraph?
A．the most important discoveries
B．the notebook and the dish
C．the cupboard and the bacteria
D．the dish and the bacteria
小題4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Mr. Kim was afraid Mr. Tan might succeed ahead of him.
B．Mr. Tan's bacteria grew very fast in a warm container.
C．Mr. Tan worked much harder than Mr. Kim.
D．Mr. Kim was so tired that he fell down into sleep.
小題5:What happened to Mr. Kim in the end?
A．He died on Christmas Eve.
B．He was arrested by the police.
C．He shared the success with Mr. Tan.
D．He succeeded ahead of Mr. Tan.
