winter it could be very nasty令人讨厌的 because of strong winds and sea spray. in fact, when a gale风 was blowing, norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gust 强风might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants norah planted in the garden. she tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.but most of the summer norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. at weekends she could sit out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.now, norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. in the summer most of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for norah and her husband. when they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.this went on for several years. norah did not wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.then one day norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “youre disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “why dont you try my way of escaping?”“whats that?” asked norah.“well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, i put on my coat and take my shopping bag. if its someone i dont want to see, i say innocently, im sorry, but ive got to go out. but”36. we can infer that .a. a lot of friends came to visit them in winterb. few friends came to visit them in winter.c. friends came to visit them only for drinks and mealsd. norah was a good cook37. the best title for the passage might be .a. a good place of enjoying the sea b. a warm-hearted couplec. a clever way of escapingd. a visit to norah38. what the hairdresser is likely to continue to say in the end is “ ”a. if i am tired, i say, sorry, can you come next time?b. if its someone i like to see, i say, how lucky! ive just come in!c. if its someone i like to see, i say, how happy to see you! i was going shopping, but now ive changed my mind.d. if it is fine that day, i say, i am tired, but ill show you around the place, anyhow.bto be sure, only children独生子女experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers. many feel more pressure to succeed. in the absence of brothers and sisters, only children also tend to look more exclusively to their parents as role models.只以父母为楷模in india, 10-year-old saviraj sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority of only children. among other things, the group does volunteer work to counter 反驳the myth不真实的说法 that they are not responsible. “people think were treated too kindly and ruined,” says sankpal, a computer engineering student. “but id like to remind them how lonely it can get.”most only children, however, say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging, unhealthy parents. britains david emerson, coauthor of the book the only child, says that such a person bears a terrible burden in having to make all the decisions alone. emerson knows from experience: after his father died, he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home, where she was vulnerable(易受攻击的) to house breakers, to a new one with more security安全. “the move was quite hard on her, and she might feel that i pushed her into it,” he says. “after all, i am left with that responsibility.” 责无旁贷in the future, more and more only children will likely face similar choices. with working mothers increasingly the rule, many families are finding they simply dont have the time, money or energy to have more than one child. as only children become common, perhaps the world will realize that the charge made against them is unjust.39. it can be inferred from the passage that the authors attitude towards only children is .a. critical批评的 b. objective反对的c. hostile不友善的d. unjust不公正的40. it can be inferred from the passage that only childrens parents should .a. find a support group for their only childrenb. do volunteer work to help their only childrenc. let their only children make all the decision aloned. set good examples for their only children41. emerson decided to move his elderly mother to a new house because he .a. is the only one who cares about herb. doesnt want to leave her alonec. wants to share the responsibility with herd. is worried about her safety42. it is quite usual now for a working mother to .a. spend all her time and money on her only childb. be responsible for bringing up her only childc. have and bring up only one childd. devote all her energy to her job c mr smith was the manager of a hotel in springfield. one weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. late in the evening three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. mr smith explained that because of the meeting, there were no rooms ready for use. the men were very unhappy because they had no place to stay in.mr smith wanted to help them. he remembered that room 414, a very small room, was empty. he asked them if they would share a room. the three men agreed. mr smith told them that the room would cost $30: $10 for each. each of them gave mr smith $10, and they went up to the room.mr smith soon began to feel sorry. “thirty dollars is too much for that small room,” he thought. he called one of his men over and said, “here is $ 5. bring it to the man in room 414. ive asked too much money for their room.”the worker took the money from his manager. while he was on his way to room 414, he started to think, “how can i divide $5? well, ill give each of them only $1 and i keep $2. the men will be happy to get anything back. ill make a little money and mr smith will never know.” so he returned $1 to each man.you see, there come a problem, each man had at first paid $10. after the worker returned them $1 each, each man had paid 9. there were three men, $9 x 3 = $27. the worker kept $2 $27+$2=29. where is the missing dollar?43.

10-year-old girl was staring at me with that specific facial expression which probably only dentists have to enjoy all day long!whatever question i asked, whatever activity i suggested, her reaction was pretty much the same she was frozen with horror. she was sent to our private language school after having been the worst in english at her key school with a pretty strict elt syllabus(教学大纲), with her peers同学 teasing her for her mistakes in english. moreover, her state school teacher called her name. to make things worse, she was under pressure from her family for getting bad marks in english. she was definitely expecting me to carry on the same way with her.i have to admit that i had been staring at her with probably the same expression for a while before eventually she handed in an absolutely incredible令人难以置信的 composition which i had previously asked the class to write. it was written in perfect handwriting, was full of clever ideas and had correct paragraphing. the girl got her first excellent mark in english, and i praised her generously and from then on i started using her writing skills to support the others. before doing an oral retelling of a story, she wrote it down. before presenting her oral project, she was allowed to do the same thing. the day she first put up her hand to orally answer my question addressed to the class i was incredibly非常 happy.she taught me
