He had to write a story for his English class by Friday. “I dont know what to write about,” he complained to his dog Toby, who was asleep at his feet. Arthur was talkative when speaking to his friends, yet he had trouble finding words when he had to write.By bedtime Arthur had drawn a picture of Toby smiling. He had drawn a tree with its branches blowing in the strong wind. He had also written a note asking his friend Lee to go to the movies on Saturday. But he had not written a single word of his story.On Wednesday, Mrs. Solomon, Arthurs English teacher, asked the class to turn in the first draft of their stories. His heart sinking, Arthur turned in the only work he hadthe page with his name, the drawings and the note.Arthur wasnt surprised when Mrs. Solomon asked him to stay after class the next day. But he was surprised by what she said to him. “This is an attractive story, Arthur. The dog, the movie, the tree in the windI cant wait to find out how they all fit together.”“That isnt my story, Mrs. Solomon,” Arthur admitted. “I havent been able to think of one yet.”“Oh, I think you have the seed (种子) of a story there,” Mrs. Solomon replied, “Look at your note and the pictures and see if a story comes to you.”That night Arthur sat at his desk, and this is what he wrote: “One Saturday Mike went downstairs to meet his friend Julio at the cinema. It looked as if it might rain, so Mike carried his umbrella. Suddenly a big storm blew in, bending the trees. The noise of the wind sounded like the barking of Mikes dog Toby. Toby really hated storms and barked whenever he wanted to be let inside. Then Mike realized that it wasnt the sound of the wind. It was Toby. The dog was running after him down the busy street, barking. The sound was filled with blame. Mike felt guilty because he had left Toby outside. He turned and headed home with Toby running beside him. Mike let Toby in the door just as the rain started to pour down.”Arthur had a story in the end. The last thing he did was to write his name proudly at the top of the page.( ) 46. Why did Arthur turn in the page with only his name, the drawings and the note at first?A.

Encouragement is important in teachingBMany of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact(接触) with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable? Its all about personal peace, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水) makes you feel angry. Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire(渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey by Trip Advisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food. Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers. Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall. Preference(偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.( ) 50. The writer mainly _ in this article.A. tells us how to achieve personal spaceB. explains why people need personal spaceC. introduces some knowledge about personal spaceD. argues for the importance of keeping personal space( ) 51. Who might feel his personal space is safe according to the passage?A. a person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong perfume.B. a person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time.C. a person who hears strange noises when reading at home.D. a Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him.( ) 52. What can we know from the survey by Trip Advisor?A. People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.B. People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.C. There are not enough seats on the plane to meet peoples needs.D. Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.( ) 53. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.B. If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space wont be violated.C. People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.D. Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.CI hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because Im in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, Im having a dinner party means: Im booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you cant afford and well be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat. Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. Theyll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who dont drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout, Where are you going? And its not like I can say I have somewhere to go. Everyone knows I have nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in peoples homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria. It was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. Its like a gathering at Bloomingdales, a well-known department store.( ) 54. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York? A There is a strange mix of people. B. The restaurants are expensive. C. The bill is not fairly shared. D. People have to pay cash( ) 55. What is the authors opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience？A. Easy-going. B. Self-centred. C. Generous. D. Conservative.(保守的）四、词汇 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）A) 根据所给汉语，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空一词。56. This plant only grows in the _ (北部) part of the country.57.
