Goood dayyy to youuuuuu toooooo No one could get a normal 40 word out of him And as no one knew how he made his living and he lived quite simply always wearing his same old second hand suit they often 41 him They 42 his singing calling him crazy William had been in Cheekyville for some years when one day a rumor 谣言 43 round the town William had 44 a role in a very important opera in the nation s

满分分 满分 40 分分 阅读下列短文 从每题所给的四个选项 A B C 和 D 中 选出最佳选项 A It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life but manners on the road are becoming horrible Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel It is all right to have a tiger in a cage but to have one in the driver s seat is another matter altogether Road politeness is not only good manners but good sense too It takes the most cool headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving On the other hand a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions But such behaviours of politeness are by no means enough Many drivers nowadays don t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it However misplaced politeness can also be dangerous Typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies An experienced driver whose manners are faultless told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings Unfortunately modern drivers can t even learn to drive let alone master the road manship Years ago experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give and take from all road users It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart 56 According to the passage troubles on the road are often caused by A road conditions B the speed of modern life C the behaviour of the drivers D the large number of cars 57 The underlined word give and take in the 4th paragraph probably means A politeness and impoliteness B good manners and bad manners C offering help to others as much as possible D willingness of each person to give in to each other s wishes 58 According to the writer a good driver should A beat back when forced to face rude driving B be able to recognize politeness when he sees it C encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever they want to D join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel 59 What is the best title of the passage A Road Politeness B Traffic Problems C Bad Manners on the Road D Good Drivers and Bad Drivers B Kieron Williamson a seven year old boy is being considered as an art genius after selling 16 paintings for 18 000 pounds in just 14 minutes This boy has artistic skills that would be the envy of any serious painter and his paintings invited comparisons with those of Pablo Picasso s a wonder child who became one of the greatest artists of the 20th century It all began on a family holiday to Cornwall when Kieron was five Inspired by the seaside view he asked his parents for his first drawing paper From that moment on he was deeply interested in drawing While supportive Kieron s parents are careful not to push their son He only paints when and what he wants He has a waiting list of hundreds and requests for his work are increasing His father said the sale of Kieron s works held last November even attracted a buyer from Japan We had people driving down that night There were people on the door waiting to come in the morning that had been standing outside The phones were going mad as soon as the door opened at nine o clock and within 14 minutes all the 16 pictures had gone he said All the talent money and high praise could so easily go to a young boy s head but Kieron said his friends didn t give his achievement much care Some of them want to be as good as me and most of them think Umm you are not too special he said Kieron s favourite painter is British artist Edward Seago and he has spent some of his earnings on buying a work of his The rest is being invested by his parents until he reaches 25 Kieron s parents and his younger sister Billi Jo don t see him as anything other than a normal seven year old who likes to run around the house and who s mad about football But for now with so much still to learn there s only one thing he wants to be when he grows up 60 According to Paragraph 1 we can know Kieron Williamson A is one of the greatest artists B draws as well as Picasso did C has unusual ability to paint D can paint 16 paintings in 14 minutes 61 What made Kieron Williamson begin to love painting A The view at the seaside B His first painting

Kieron is famous but a little proud D Kieron is not very different from them 63 It can be inferred from the passage that A Kieron likes doing sports more than painting B Billi Jo envies her brother for his talent in painting C Kieron s parents spent much money on his painting D Kieron had become famous before he sold the 16 pictures C I used to know nothing about fairy tales To improve my reading skills my mother gave me books that are a little bit difficult for me to understand I didn t even know that fairy tales existed until I attended public school at the age of eight Of course once I found out about books of this type I would read them as quickly as I could Again and again I begged my mother to take me to the library and let me choose a few Finally my request was granted

handsome prince came to her rescue and then they would live happily ever after I asked my mother why she never let me know about fairy tales Looking straight in my eyes she told me that life is not like a fairy tale There are good and bad things that will happen through life At the end though there is not a man that will come and save us We do not need saving we instead want someone in our lives to share those good moments and bad ones we want someone we can rely on and also they can rely on us Life is not about happily ever after What then is life about mom Life is the boy finding he loves
