The next day she met another traveller who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveller saw the precious stone in the wise womans bag, admired（羡慕） it, and asked the wise woman to give it to him. The wise woman did so happily. The traveller left, excited with his good luck. He knew the stone was worth（值 ） enough for him to live on for his whole life. But a few days later he came back, searching for the wise woman. When he found her, he returned the stone and said, “I have been thinking. I know how valuable（有价值的） this stone is, but I give it back to you and hope that you can give me something much more precious. If you can, give me what you have within（在 里面） you that made you give me the stone.” 48. Where did the woman find the stone? A. In a bag. B. In a village. C. Under a tree. D. In a small river. 49.

We know from the passage that _.

We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Lets look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative（消极的） meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive（积极的） actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a persons serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel（冷酷的） . There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well. The rose is regarded as a symbol（象征） of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose stands for（代表） love, peace（和平） , courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries. The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used. 52. The word “dog” in Chinese usually _. A. shows peace B. stands for friendship C. has a negative meaning D. has a positive meaning 53. “Every dog has its day.” means “_”. A. Everybody in the world is lucky. B. Each person lives his own way of life. C. If one works hard, hes sure to succeed. D. Everybody has a time in life to be lucky. 54. Western people usually use “cat” to refer to（指代） “_”. A. a tired person B. a brave man C. a homeless person D. an unkind woman 55. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Words show differences in culture. B. Chinese people prefer dogs to cats. C. Western people think cats to be good friends. D. Rose is the national flower of all western countries. E A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasnt much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what seemed to be a dime（十美分硬币） . The sound of a coin dropping on the street catches everybodys attention. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores（忽视） the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again. There are so many sounds that catch the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when they hear the siren（警报） of a police car or an ambulance（救护车） . When Im in New York, Im a New Yorker. I dont turn either. I hardly hear a siren there. At home in my little town in Connecticut, its different. The faraway high sound of a police car, an ambulance or a fire siren brings me to my feet if Im sitting and brings me to the window if Im in bed. Its the quietest sounds that catch our attention most easily, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear water dropping a hundred yards away through three closed doors. Ive been hearing little creaking（吱嘎） noises and sounds in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. Why do I never hear those sounds in the daytime? 57. The sound of a coin dropping made people _. A. think of money B. shout aloud C. pay attention to it D. look at each other 58. People in New York _. A. are used to sirens B. dont hear loud noises C. are interested in sounds D. dont care about quiet sounds 59. The writer _. A. has a bad hearing B. stays up late at night C. comes from a little town D. sleeps next to the window 60. The last paragraph（段落） tells us that _. A. the writer thinks a lot at night B. water should be turned off at night C. the sounds at night make the writer afraid D. the quietest sounds at night are easily heard 资阳市 2008 年高中阶段教育学校招生统一考 试 英 语 第 卷（非选择题，共 40 分） 题号 阅读填空 写作 第 卷 总 分 总分人 第一节 第二节 分数 注意事项： 本卷共 3页，用黑色或蓝色钢笔或圆珠笔直接答在试卷上。 第三部分 阅读填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 从方框中选择单词，带入短文空格内，使短文意思正确、通顺，再将其适当形式填入短文后相应题号的横线上。（每词限用一次）。 Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad.
