College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.“Jack, did you hear me?”“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. Its been so long since I thought of him. Im sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.“Well, he didnt forget you. Every time I saw him hed ask how you were doing. Hed reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over his side of the fence as he put it, ” Mom told him.“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a mans influence in your life,” she said.“Hes the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldnt be in this business if it werent for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, Ill be there for the funeral.” Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belsers funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture Jack stopped suddenly.“Whats wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.“The box is gone,” he said.“What box?” Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All hed ever tell me was the thing I value most,” Jack said.It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.“Now Ill never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.“Mr. Harold Belser” it read.Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jacks hands shook as he read the note inside,“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett. Its the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found these words carved: “Jack. Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.”“Oh. My God! This is the thing he valued most ”Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.21Why did Jack think Mr. Belser died years ago? ACollege and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Belser. BJack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belser. CJack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belser. DHis present busy life washed away his children memories.22Jacks mother told him on the phone about Mr. Belser EXCEPT that _. AMr. Belser often asked how Jack was doing BMr. Belsers funeral would take place on Wednesday CMr. Belser had asked for Jacks mailing address DMr. Belser had pleasant memories of their time together23Why did Belser send Jack his gold watch? ABecause Jack had always wanted it during his childhood. BBecause he had no children or relatives. CBecause he thought he had to keep his word. DBecause he was grateful for Jacks time with him.24Why did Jack say he needed some time to spend with his son? AHe was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest. BHe had promised to spare more time to stay with his son. CHe had missed his son and his family for days. DHe came to realize the importance of the time with his family.25Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage? AWhat He Valued Most BThe Good Old Times CAn Old Gold WatchDThe Lost Childhood DaysBCosmo Books Ltd., 14, Woodman Road, Hertford Estate, Two Bridges, Rickmansworth, West Sussex. Middx. 25th FebruaryDear Sir,Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a remarkable price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeares plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid. Yours faithfully, SIMON WALKER26Simon Walker wrote the letter to _. Acomplain about（抱怨，投诉）sending him books he had not ordered. Badvise readers not to order books from Cosmo Books Ltd. Claugh at Cosmo Books Ltd. Durge（督促）Cosmo Books Ltd. to take away the books he had not ordered.27The advertisement that Mr. Walker saw in the Morning Mail was for _. Aa set of 10 books of the works of Shakespeare.Bunlimited number of Cosmo Books. Ca book containing all the plays and poems of Shakespeare. Dfifteen pounds and fifty pence.28Mr. Walker answered the advertisement because _. Ahe had ordered the set and had been waiting for them to come for some time.Bhe claimed that the books were being offered at a remarkable price.Che wanted a set of Shakespeares works, and this set was cheap, and looked attractive. Dthe set he already had was not particularly attractive.29It can be inferred（推断）that _. ACosmo Books have sent bills for books that they have not sent. BMr. Walker took some action after receiving the books he did not order. CMr. Walker hasnt received the books that he ordered. DSeveral sets of books have been sent to Mr. Walker free of charge.30The tone(语气) of the letter is that of _. Aannoyance Bbitterness Crespect DhumorCGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War . Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.31The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .Athey lived healthily in a dirty environmentBthey believed disease could be spread in public bathsCthey thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in Dthey considered bathing as the cause of skin disease32Which of the following best describes Henry IVs attitude to bathing?AAfraid BCurious CApproving DUninterested33The underlined sentence in ParagraphOne is closest in meaning to _.ANothing is fixed for the attitudes to dirtBAttitudes to dirt never changeCAttitudes to dirt are different in different times DThere isnt anything fixed for attitudes to dirt 34How does the passage mainly develop?_.ABy providing examples BBy making comparisonsCBy following the order of time DBy following the order of importance35What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?ATo stress the role of dirt BTo show the change of views on dirtCTo introduce the history of dirtDTo call attention to the danger of dirt 第二节 篇章填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。请把答案填涂在答题卡上。 Camping without a campfire is not camping at all.
