a. in 1938. b. in 1833. c. in 1896. d. in 1906.4. when he died, nobel left a large amount of money _.a. to his wife b. to his childrenc. for helping the poor people in sweden d. for setting five prizes conce when i was a teenager, my father and i were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏). finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. this family made a big impression on me.there were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. you could tell they didnt have a lot of money. their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. the children talked excitedly about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night. i could tell theyd never been to the circus before. it was clearly a very important day out for them. the father and mother seemed happy as they could be.the ticket lady asked how many tickets the father wanted. he proudly answered, “please let me buy eight childrens tickets and two adult tickets, so i can take my family to the circus.”the ticket lady told him the price.the mans wife lowered her head. there was no longer a smile on the mans face. he quietly asked, “how much did you say?”the ticket lady again told him the price.the man clearly didnt have enough money. but how could he tell his kids the bad news?seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped it on the ground. (we were not rich ourselves at all!) he then tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “excuse me, sir, you dropped this.”the man understood my father was helping him. he picked up the money, looked straight into my dads eyes, and in tears（泪水） replied, “thank you, sir, thank you. this really means a lot to me and my family.”although we did not go to the circus that night, we didnt care.5. why does the writer say “their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean” (paragraph 2)? a. to show the children were well looked after. b. to show cheap clothes could be popular. c. to show how hard the mother worked. d. to show how rich the family were.6. why was the poor man in tears at the end of the story? a. he found the money he lost. b. he wanted others to help him. c. he made his children unhappy. d. he was thankful for the kindness.7. which of the following statements is probably true according to the passage? a. the poor family saw the circus that night. b. the two families became close friends. c. the writers father earned some money. d. the writer saw the circus that night.d graffiti is a common feature of most western cities. the word graffiti was from the greek word, graphein, which only meant writing. these days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or on public transportation, such as trains and buses.graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in new york during the 1960s and 1970s. at that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared. graffiti was a written form of expression of that life. later, it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life.at first, graffiti artists used pens. but then, with the development of graffiti, they became experienced. they turned to using cans of spray paint (喷漆). spray paint allowed them to cover a greater area. and it also allowed them to work quickly, which was an advantage when they worked in neighbourhoods where graffiti wasnt welcome.at the present time, different people have different ideas about graffiti. some people say it makes the cities dirty. it isnt allowed by many local governments in the united states. the governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti. the money, they say, could be better spent on health or education. other people think that it is a form of art. in fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books.8. which is the meaning of the underlined work “graffiti”? a. 书法b. 沙画c. 涂鸦d. 油画9. how many forms of expression of city life are mentioned（提到）in this article? a. oneb. twoc. threed. four10. whats the article mainly about? a. the meaning of graffiti.b. different expressions of graffiti.c. different attitudes towards graffiti.d. the history and development of graffiti.六、完成句子 按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子。 （本大题5分，每小题1分）1. 现在人们更愿意发短信而不愿意写信。 now people_ writing letters.2. 吴老师建议我们注意一下这两个词语之间的不同。 mr wu _ the two words.3. 他已经放弃和他的父母争辩了。 he _ his parents.4. 此事将由电视作现场报道。 this event_ by tv.5. 那部由一位年轻人导演的恐怖电影非常值得一看。 the horror film directed_ .七、缺词填空 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容和所给首字母，在空格内填入一个适当的词，使短文意思完整。所填单词在题
