The Colonel（上校） asked Ashenden a good many questions and then suggested that he had particular qualifications for the Secret Service. Ashenden knew several European languages and the fact that he was a writer provided excellent cover: on the pretext（借口） that he was writing a book he could, without attracting attention, visit any neutral country.

It was while they were discussing this point that the Colonel said, "You know you might get material that would be very useful to you in your work. I'll tell you an incident that occurred only recently. Very dramatic. A foreign government minister went down to a Mediterranean resort to recover from a cold and he had some very important documents with him that he kept in a dispatch case（公文箱）. A day or two after he arrived, he picked up a beautiful blonde at some restaurant or other, and he got very friendly with her. He took her back to his hotel, and when he came to himself in the morning, the lady and the dispatch-case had disappeared. They had one or two drinks up in his room and his theory is that when his back was turned the woman slipped a drug in his glass.

"Do you mean to say that happened the other day?" said Ashenden.

"The week before last."

"Impossible," cried Ashenden. "Why! We've been putting that incident on the stage for sixty years, we've written it in a thousand novels. Do you mean to say that life has only just caught up with us?"

"Well, I can guarantee the truth of the story." said the Colonel, "And believe me, the government has been put to no end of trouble by the loss of the documents."

"Well sir, if you can't do better than that in the Secret Service," sighed Ashenden, " I'm afraid that as a source of inspiration to the writer of fiction, it's washout（失敗）."

1.How did the Colonel suggest that Ashenden's being a writer would relate to his work as a spy?

A. It would make traveling abroad more possible.

B. It would make it easier for him to meet people.

C. It would enable him to avoid arousing suspicion.

D. It would enable him to use the languages he knew.

2.The reason for the Minister's trip was ________ .

A. to fetch some documents

B. to get over an illness

C. to meet a spy

D. to deliver some papers

3.According to the Colonel the incident happened _______.

A. a few days before

B. a few weeks before

C. two weeks before

D. sixty years before

4.Ashenden cried 'Impossible' after hearing the Colonel's story because he thought ______ .

A. it was so stupid

B. it was too close to fiction

C. it was too embarrassing

D. it was too recent

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆天津第一中學(xué)高三上學(xué)期第二次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

I was waiting in a check-in line at Arlanda International Airport. The man ahead of me was quite a big guy. As an airport baggage handler checked through a customer at the roadside, he accidentally knocked over the man’s luggage. He quickly collected the fallen bags and apologized for his mistake. However，the traveler burst into anger, shouting at the baggage handler for his carelessness.

The baggage handler calmly apologized and smiled all the time. The customer continued to berate(痛斥) the man, even as he turned away and headed for his gate. Through it all the baggage handler smiled and remained calm.

The other customers in line witnessed the incident and admired the baggage handler’s professionalism and self-­control. “I have never seen such restraint and humility,” one of the customers sighed, “How do you keep your cool when somebody is attacking you so viciously?”

“It’s easy,” the baggage handler answered. “He’s going to London, but his bags are going to Tokyo.”

I won’t recommend that we use revenge to relieve stress. But let me tell you about one of my friends who has found a way to go through most of his life unaffected by the turbulence that disturbs most people. He is one of the calmest people I’ve ever known and he describes how he keeps his cool no matter how turbulent a situation becomes. He says, “I look at it this way. A traffic jam has no power to make me angry. It just stops my car. And that’s the way I try to look at most of what happens to me.” With that philosophy, this guy goes through life with a calmness I can only envy.

My friend likes to say things like, “A rude customer has no power to make me angry; he just fusses.” And, “A mistake I made has no power to make me upset; it’s just a chance to do better.” He shows how we can truly find calmness in the midst of chaos.

1.The airport baggage handler remained calm during the customer’s berating because ______.

A. he was good at self-control

B. he wanted to show his professionalism

C. he wanted to revenge the customer

D. he knew well the airport rules

2.What is the author’s attitude towards the baggage handler?

A. Appreciative. B. Disapproving.

C. Concerned. D. Sympathetic.

3.Why does the author tell us about his friend?

A. To tell us what is true calmness.

B. To explain a special philosophy.

C. To show his envy to the friend.

D. To advise us to have good manners.

4.What does the underlined word “turbulence” mean?

A. an uneasy or a disturbing state of mind

B. a confusing or uncontrolled situation

C. a person that makes people angry

D. violence that hurts people

5.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A. A Clever Baggage Handler

B. Restraint and Humility in Life

C. A Philosophy for Everyone

D. Calmness in Chaos
