题型：不详难度：来源：
When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived. Each family had their own campsite with water and electric, and you basically parked your camper there from May through October. Most "Seasonals" visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional weeklong stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.
We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends, and we"d hold hands as we"d walk around the campground. We"d play ping-pong, have some snacks, and play songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You"d see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you"re a teen — a three-week relationship is a really long time.
So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common... they"d all received The Evil Eye.
The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me. It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser（激光）beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys" brains.
"You will not put your hands on my daughter... You will not kiss my daughter... You will not even whisper sweet nothings into my daughter"s ear."
I remember one night in particular, walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick, "See ya later."
Yes, the Evil Eye. Best way ever to keep wandering teen boy hands away from your daughters.

Steinbeck, John, 1902-68, American writer, born in Salinas, Calif., studied at Stanford. He is probably best remembered for his strong sociological novel The Grapes of Wrath, considered one of the great American novels of the 20th century. Steinbeck"s early novels-Cup of Gold (1929), The Pastures of Heaven (1932), and To a God Unknown (1933)-attracted little critical attention, but Tortilla Flat (1935), an affectionate（亲切的）yet realistic novel about the lovely, Spanish-speaking poor of Monterey, was enthusiastically received.
A merciful understanding of the world"s poor was to be Steinbeck"s mark. The novel In Dubious Battle (1936) defends striking immigrant agricultural workers in the California fields. In the novel Of Mice and Men (1937; later made into a play), Steinbeck again presents immigrant workers, but this time in terms of human worth and integrity（完好）－a theme he also used in The Moon Is Down (1942; later made into a play), about Norwegian resistance to the Nazis. The Grapes of Wrath (1939; Pulitzer Prize), while treating the hard situation of dispossessed Dust Bowl farmers during the 1930s, presents a universal picture of victims of disaster. Steinbeck"s description of the westward migration of the Joad family, and their following struggles in the agricultural industry of California, is realistic and moving, and he presents his inferior characters with nobility.
Steinbeck"s other works are diverse, ranging from the literal account of a voyage, The Sea of Cortez (1941; written with the marine biologist E. F. Ricketts),to a moral story, The Pearl (1948); to a French folk piece, The Short Reign of Pippin IV (1957). Love of his native land shines through the delicately nostalgic story "The Red Pony" in The Long Valley (1938). The somewhat emotional attitude of Tortilla Flat appears again in Cannery Row (1945), The Wayward Bus (1947), and Sweet Thursday (1954).
小题1: How many novels adapted into a play are mentioned in the passage ?_________.
| A．Nine | B．Seven | C．Four | D．Two |
| A．The Grapes of Wrath, is considered one of the great novels of this century. |
| B．Only in the novel In Dubious Battle Steinbeck referred to immigrant workers. |
| C．In The Grapes of Wrath, farmers living in Dust Bowl possess almost nothing. |
| D．All Steinbeck’s late works are related to his love of his native land. |
| A．did not draw much attention until Tortilla Flat was published |
| B．wrote all his novels in terms of human worth and integrity |
| C．presented poor but noble characters in all his novels |
| D．showed his love for his native land in The Short Reign of Pippin IV |
| A．works | B．life | C．fame | D．prize |

The policeman said, “Well, I guess so,” and started 6 something in his notebook. As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the policeman was 7 writing. When the man was wondering why he hadn’t asked for his driving 8 so far, the policeman came to his window, 9 him a piece of paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man wondered: how much was this 10 going to be? However, the man was 11 it was not a ticket（罚单）at all and he began to 12 :
“I had a daughter who was 13 by a speeding car at the age of six by a speeding driver. He got a fine, a few months in 14 , and then was free, free to hug his two daughters. I only had one, and now I have to 15 until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to 16 that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive（原谅） him. So pray（祈祷）for me, and be 17 when you drive again. My son is all I have been left with.”
The man was completely 18 and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove 19 , even a few miles 20 the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.

After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I"d have to have a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss（解雇）him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time, and I left without getting a cent.
My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship honour or professional morality（职业道德）. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.

| A．be properly treated |
| B．talk with the person responsible for the accident |
| C．recover before he leaves America |
| D．eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury |
| A．be responsible | B．accuse |
| C．ask as a price | D．claim |
| A．friendly | B．greedy |
| C．professional | D．busy |
| A．Going to court is something every common in America |
| B．One must be very careful while driving a car |
| C．There are more bad sides in America than good sides |
| D．Money is more important than other things in the US |
