He took his chicken to the park for a romantic picnic under the moon light with his lady.Upon reaching into the bucket, however, he received a surprise. Instead of chicken he discovered what was obviously the restaurants night depositnine thousand dollars. The young man brought the bucket back to the store and asked for his chicken in exchange for the money. The manager, in awe of the young mans honesty, asked for his name and told him he wanted to call the newspaper and the local news station to do a morality (道德上的说教) that would inspire others!The hungry man shrugged it off. “My dates waiting, I just want my chicken.”The managers renewed amazement over the young mans humility (谦卑) almost overwhelmed him. He begged to be allowed to tell the story on the news. At this the honest man became angry with the manager and demanded his chicken.“I dont get it,” the manager asked. “You are an honest man in a dishonest world! This is a perfect opportunity to show the world that there are honest people still willing to take a stand for what is right. Please, give me your name and also the womans name. Is that your wife?”“Thats the problem,” said the young man. “My wife is at home. The woman in the car is my girlfriend. Now let me have my chicken so I can get out of here.”21.

If people go “Dutch treat”, or simply “go Dutch”, it means that they will share the expenses of a dinner. There are many other “Dutch” expressions in English, many of which were invented in Britain in the seventeenth century, when the Dutch and the English were commercial and military(军事) competitors. The British used “Dutch” to refer to something bad, cheap and shameful. A “Dutch bargain” at that time was an unfair, one-sided deal; and “Dutch widow” was slang for hooker. Later centuries brought in “Dutch courage”, for bravery caused by drink; “Dutch concert”, for unpleasant music; “Dutch nightingale”, meaning a frog; and “double Dutch”, for incomprehensible talk. Some of the expressions are still in use today, but some are not. In fact, in American English, some “Dutch” expressions have nothing to do with the Dutch, but something with the German. It was probably because of the similar spelling and pronunciation that people made a mistake in telling between “Dutch” and “Deutsch” (the German word for German), when German immigrants(移民) came to America in the 1700s. For instance, “the Pennsylvania Dutch” refers to the German descendants(后代), instead of the Dutch descendants, living in Pennsylvania. 25. If someone invites you to dinner and says “lets go Dutch”, he meansA. that hell invite you to a Dutch restaurant. B. that hell buy your dinner with his money.C. that youll buy his dinner with your money. D. that you are expected to pay your own meal. 26. Many of the “Dutch” expressions were invented with negative sense, because . A. the Dutch were underdeveloped people. B. Britain and Holland were competitors at that time. C. the Dutch had many bad habits. D. the British were superior(高贵) to the Dutch. 27. With the information you get from Paragraph 2, make a guess at the meaning of the sentence “You are in Dutch”. It probably means .A. You are in Holland. B. You are welcome. C. You are in trouble. D. You are lucky. 28. According to the passage, some native American “Dutch” expressions were related to the German instead of the Dutch simply because .A. Americans hated the German as much as the British hated the Dutch. B. people made a spelling error at the beginning. C. people made a joke about the German. D. the German immigrants insisted that they were Dutch.CFor years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. We can do without railways. People say as if cars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lost money, and that theyre dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesnt leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesnt hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams, and a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do. Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we cant use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we cant fly in for the same reason.29. The writers idea seems to be that _.A. we can do without railways, although they are cheaperB. trains have much in common with motorcars and planesC. motor cars and planes are not as good as trainsD. trains are as good as motorcars and planes30. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. It is cheaper to travel by train than by planeB. The railway station is usually at the center of a cityC. When you get off the plane youll find yourself right in the city centerD. No motorcar or plane can carry as many goods as a train does31. The writer thinks that the railways, far from being dead, are very much alive because _. A. we can have a smooth and untroubled journeyB. oil is becoming more and more expensiveC. we can now travel in super-fast trainsD. all the reasons above32. The best title for this passage may be _.A. Not the End, but the Beginning.B. Which is the Best: Train, Motorcar or Plane?C. Motorcars or Planes Are Less Competitive.D. Oh, Super- fast Trains!DDear Editor,Why do newspapers carry so many advertisements for electronic equipment? Last Sunday I counted ads for seven kinds of televisions and thirteen kinds of radios in the Atlanta Journal. Besides that, there were pages and pages of ads for Citizens Band radios and tape recorders.Dont you realize what electronic equipment is doing to our daily life? Everywhere you go you may hear loud music and advertisements over radios; this continual noise is ruining our ears. Husbands dont talk to wives any more; they are always watching the news or a ball game. Children ruin their eyes (not to mention their minds) with endless hours of watching not only the programs for children but those for grown-ups as well. And worse, hidden microphones find out about our private lives, and computers keep records of personal information about us. Enough is enough! I think you should limit the amount of advertising of electronic equipment in the Atlanta Journal. Otherwise it will make life unbearable（难以忍受）for us all. Jason Collins 33. Atlanta Journal is the name of _.A. a department store B. a shop that sells electronic equipmentC. a local newspaper D. a hotel where the writer stayed 34. Electronic equipment causes all the following problems EXCEPT that _.A. personal information is given to strangersB. children ruin their eyesC. news of the world is given to all citizensD. family members dont talk to each other 35. Jason Collins is upset about _.A. radio B. newspapersC. noise D. electronic equipment 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。Finland is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious(神秘的) country of Northern Europe. _36_.
