from a novel called The Chrysalides by John Wyndham In this novel the storyteller is a boy named David When I was quite young I sometimes dreamt about a city It was odd because the dream began before I even knew what a city was But I could see this city by a big bay with boats on the water and houses all around Sometimes I saw silver things flying in the sky It was a pretty place Once I asked my sister Mary where the city was She told me that there was no such place She said that long ago there might have been a city like that but not now Then she told me not to talk about the dream to anyone Mary did not want me to talk about anything that might make people think I was different from them Where we lived people were always looking out for odd things They even thought it was strange that I was left handed So I did not talk about my dream to anyone and as I got older I did not have it so often And I never told anyone that I could talk to my cousin Rosalind without seeing her I wasn t sure if talking like that was odd After some time I thought perhaps I was just like everyone else Until the day I met Sophie One day I had gone off by myself as I often did I went down a cart track from our farm until I came to a high ridge This ridge was very long and ran all the way round the land as far as you could see I had often gone along the top of it but I hadn t been down the other side Somehow the land on the other side seemed strange like another country But today I played a game The rain had worn away some of the bank on the other side and I could push myself down the path made by the rain I did this twice rushing down the ridge and landing in the soft sand at the bottom The third time I landed a voice said Hello 39 Where did David live A near a bay B in the city C on a ridge D on a farm 40 The sentence It was odd because the dream began before I even knew what a city was suggests that A the dream began as soon as David fell asleep B David s dream was always the same C David had not seen a city D David s dream always started in a city 41 David believed that people thought he was strange because he A played on the cart track B talked to Sophie C was left handed D had dreams about a city 5 42 David was able to slide down the ridge because A heavy rain had made paths down its side B the ridge was made of soft sand C he had played the game many times before D the ridge was very long 43 The underlined part I did not have it so often in paragraph 4 means A I didn t often talk about my dream to people B I was not often left handed C I didn t often talk with Rosalind without seeing her D I didn t often dream about a city 四四 任务型阅读 共任务型阅读 共 10 小题 每小题小题 每小题 1 分 满分分 满分 10 分 分 The United States provides more than half the world s food aid American programs

Congress reported that 65 of the money for food aid was spending on costs other than food It said rising business and transportation costs had cut the average amount of food shipped over the last five years by 52 Yet demand has grown Critics among charity groups have called for changes to the system CARE USA a major aid group said last year that it would not take part in the current system after 2009 But the system also has supporters among agricultural and shipping groups and lawmakers in Congress Supporters say the current system works well and that changing it could harm food aid programs
