22、篇 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。A. Im a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder (寄宿生) with the Carsons for more than a year and a half. The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement (底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in

23、the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after their children. Judys parents, Mr and Mrs Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on (溺爱) Judys children. They often sent the chi

24、ldren presents. Last April Mr Morris died. Now that Mrs Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didnt surprise me and the next day

25、I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldnt think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no need for me to move, for they hadnt yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with t

26、hem. “Naturally Im worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. Well wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself, or perhaps they will both change their minds.” That

27、 was six months ago. During this time Ive heard that Mrs Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs Morris refused to go there. So up to now shes still living alone and Im still living in the basement room.46.What is the relationship bet

28、ween the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.C. He is a student of Judy Carson.D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons house.47.Why did the speaker expect Mrs Morris to come to live with her daughter?A. Because

29、Mr Morris was dead.B. Because Mrs Morris suffered from illness.C. Because Mrs Morris lived all by herself.D. All the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.48.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker

30、to move.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs Morris loved her grandchildren very much.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs Morris go to live in a nursing home.49.Why didnt Mrs Morris come to live with her daughters family?A. Because the speaker lived in the basement r

31、oom and there was no other room for her to live in.B. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son-in-law.C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.D. Because she did not want to leave her own house.50.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. M

32、y Landlady B. The BoarderC. Family Relationships in Canada D. Nursing Homes and the Aged B. You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one anther hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so

33、 it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead! Of course he isnt really dead. With any luck he isnt even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire,

34、are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stunt men. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto hard ground but

35、 onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and

36、 training. Often a stunt mans success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment. Naturally stunt men are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously in

37、jured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stunt man, for example, skied over the edge of cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have

38、to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stunt girls too!51.Stunt men are those who _.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives52.Stunt men earn their living by _.A. playing their

39、 dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC. jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains53.When a stunt man falls from a high building, _.A. he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC. his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right54.Which of the

40、 following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?A. Strength. B. Exactness. C. Speed. D. Carefulness.55. What can be inferred from the authors example of the Norwegian stunt man?A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stunt man.B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.C. Parachut

41、es must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high. C. After the introduction of this system, certain traffic offences will earn the driver points besides other punishment. If a driver makes any of these offences, the points will be recorded. When the driver gets a certain number of points, he will

42、 be forbidden to drive for a certain period of time. This is a system designed to make road much safer. It can improve standards of driving and reduce accident rates. Of course, not all traffic offences are covered by this system. Only those that have direct effect on road safety are included. There

43、 are altogether fourteen items.Code Offence Points1Causing death by dangerous driving 102Dangerous driving 103Careless driving 54Driving after drinking or taking drugs 10 5Driving over speed limit by more than 15 km/hour 3 6Driving in a motor race on the road 10 7Failing to stop after an accident 12

This letter will tell your record of Driving Offence Points and remind you of the result of gett

46、ing more points. It is hoped that this warning will change your driving behaviour for the better.
