　　When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and in the winter especially(尤其), we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed up my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems, too.

　　One disadvantage（不利） is money—it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘)， and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams（交通堵塞）. One choice（選擇） is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

　　Of course, there are advantages（有利）. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture(文化) or entertainment(娛樂). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety（多種） of goods（貨物） is very surprising—and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

　　Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十幾歲) twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace（寧靜） of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

　　66. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

　　A. Staying on the farm.

　　B. Moving to the countryside.

　　C. Leaving home for the city.

　　D. Running away from the school.

　　D. Money, pollution, traveling

　　68. In the passage, the advantages of living in the city the writer told us are ________.

　　A. more activities, more jobs, lots of goods, more shops

　　B. more activities, more shops, more jobs, more people

　　C. more people, more cars, more activities, more shops

　　D. more shops, more jobs, more parks, more tall buildings

　　69.Where is the writer living now?

　　A. In the countryside.

　　B. In the city.

　　C. In the school.

　　D. Not mentioned(提到) in the passage.

　　70. Which is TRUE according to the passage?

　　For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, one Italian scientist named Giuseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Giuseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked before. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They likes bread too, metal bread pans were in every bakery, in one bakery there were round, flat loaves of bread-a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that woman liked to wear eye-makeup

　　Giuseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.

　　71.Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?

　　A. To visit the volcano.

　　D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.

　　73.How many days did the eruption of Mount Vesuvius last in August of AD 79?

　　A.20

　　B.79

　　C.2

　　D.2000

　　74. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked before?

　　A. Because Giuseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.

　　B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.

　　C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.

　　D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.

　　75. What do we know about the Pompeians who lived 2000 years ago?

　　A. They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.

　　B. They liked woman wearing all kinds of makeup.

　　C. They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.

　　D. They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.

　　(2011·重慶卷，A)

　　There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckers.One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one,

　　which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.

　　Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.

　　Sometimes the new bucket would say，“See how capable I am ! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day ! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are！”

　　And all that the old bucket could say was. “I know I'm not very useful, but I can only do my best. I'm happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me，at least .”

　　One day, the gardener heard that kind or conversation .After watering the flowers as usual,

　　he said. “You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”

　　Then the two buckets did so.All along the path，they noticed，on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare(光禿禿的)earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers，leading all the way to the garden.

　　本文講述了園藝工人用兩個桶挑水澆花壇的故事，新桶感到自豪，認為自己的用處大；舊桶慚愧，認為自己沒大有用。而實際新、舊桶都有用處，只是表現點不同，人也是這樣。

　　1．What does the underlined word“dilapidated”probably mean?

　　A．Dirty.

　　B．Dark.

　　C．Worn-out.

　　D．Plain-looking.

　　答案：C。詞議猜測題。與上文的shiny and new相對的是old and dilapidated。根據下文可知舊桶已用許多年，過了它的最好時候，也就是“用壞了，舊了”，故C項正確。

　　2．What was the old bucket ashamed of?

　　A．His past.

　　B．His aging.

　　C．His manner.

　　D．His leaking.

　　答案：D。細節理解題。根據短文第二段最后一句可知：舊桶上有漏洞，而感到羞愧，因為還沒來得及到花壇，就漏掉了相當多的水。

　　3．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to ________.

　　A．laugh at the old oneB．take pity on the old one

　　C．show off its beautiful looksD．praise the gardener's kindness

　　答案：A。細節理解題。由短文第三段可知，新桶說自己多么有用，舊桶多么的沒用。從而我們可知新桶在嘲笑舊桶。

　　4．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?

　　A．Because it was used to keep a balance.

　　B．Because it stayed in its best condition.

　　C．Because it was taken as a treasure.

　　D．Because it had its own function.

　　答案：D。推理判斷題。由最后一段可知，舊桶雖然漏水，但它澆灌了路上的花花草草，它還是有用處的。

　　(2011·新課標卷，B)

　　While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.

　　The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.

　　But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.

　　“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″(6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population.” Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “Seven-foot beds would work fine.”

　　Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.

　　Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.

　　本文講述了現在人們的身高普遍增高了，飯店的桌子需要加大，旅館的床需要加長，否則它們就會失去顧客。

　　5．What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?

　　A．To provide better services.

　　B．To rebuild hotels and restaurants.

　　C．To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.

　　D．To attract more people to become its members.

　　答案：C。細節理解題。由短文第二段第一句話可知，高個人們組成了TPCGB俱樂部，為了高人而戰斗，且把注意力轉向了賓館、飯店，從而引起人們的注意。

　　6．Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?

　　A．7′2″.

　　B．7′.

　　C．6′6″.

　　D．6′3″.
